Chapter 7: Provocation

"Captain, leader..."

"Oh, I'm so lucky, Platoon Leader Cui? Is it serious?" The first sentence of Captain Chu surprised me when he saw me.

"Not serious, skin trauma."

"The bandages were not tied well." Chu Tuan said as he helped me untie the bandages, and he was nagging: "Who did this pierce? Why are you so careless?"

"This..." I didn't know what to say for a while, but after a long time I remembered the serious business, I hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said, "Captain, I think the enemy's arms were blown up yesterday, and this board cannot be hit by me alone."

"Well, let's talk about it!" Captain Chu handed me a cup of hot water.

"Thank you, regiment commander." I took the cup and took a sip: "Control Commander, the dozens of vehicles of arms I exploded may be a lot for the South 1st Division, but what does it mean to the Eighth Army of the US? That's not a drop in the bucket? As far as I can tell, it was Lieutenant General Walker, the commander of the US military, who was suspicious. He originally..."

"Wait, wait!" Hearing this, Captain Chu's face became more and more strange. He stared at me with his eyes tightly and asked, "I said, comrade, how do you know that the Eighth Army of the United States? You also know that the commander of the Eighth Army of the Eighth Army is Lieutenant General Walker?"

Ah? It's broken. I was stunned when I heard this. The soldier running around the front line didn't know what the US Eighth Army was, and I wouldn't know that the commander of the Eighth Army was Walker. If I don't do it well, I might even be regarded as a spy by Commander Chu. What do you think I'm doing this?

"That regiment commander!" Fortunately, my head was spinning fast, and I immediately found an excuse: "Didn't we see a radio when we were fighting Yunshan? I took it with me and didn't dare to tell you. What I said was the Eighth Army, Walker, what else is Arthur?"

"Oh!" Captain Chu nodded, and his face also eased.

I secretly called out a lucky call in my heart. Captain Chu must not ask me to show him the rogue radio. I must pay this one when I beat the Americans one day.

"I heard from the radio..." Since the lie had already begun, I went with the flow: "What's the name of Arthur..."

"MacArthur!" Captain Chu corrected me.

"Yes, the regiment commander knows a lot." I didn't forget to flatter Captain Chu, and then continued, "MacArthur said that he would end the battle before Christmas, so he launched a Christmas offensive. But Lieutenant General Walker was worried that he would fall into our ambush. However, due to the unwillingness to send troops, I accidentally exploded the arms, but instead he found an excuse for him to stop moving."

"That's right." Captain Chu smiled and said, "Who else should I hit you if this board doesn't hit you? I'll ask me to hit that Lieutenant General Walker?"

"This..." I couldn't help but get speechless when Captain Chu asked this.

"Comrade Xiao Cui!" Captain Chu patted my shoulder and said, "You are right. I have thought about this. I really can't blame you all. Even if you don't blow up the arms, they will stop, just earlier. I was a little angry yesterday, don't take it to heart!"

"Captain! I..." I have always thought I was good at speaking, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"I'm anxious!" Captain Chu's brows slowly frowned again: "Why did this cowardly escape fall on our group's head? It's better to do a good job! Look, now, the enemy is not going to get into his pocket, so we can't pull him away..."

"Hey, Commander!" I suddenly thought of something and said to Commander Chu: "I have an idea. I can't pull this, but can we stimulate him?"

"Major!" When I stood in front of Major Paltz, I could hardly recognize him. My hair was messy, my mouth was covered with beards, and my eyes were no longer as arrogant as before, and all I had left was fatigue and downfall.

"What's wrong with Major?" Looking at his embarrassed look, I couldn't help but ask with a little strange question: "Major Paltz, did our people abuse you? Why are you..."

"No, no, no..." Major Paltz quickly stood up and shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, respected Chinese soldiers, they are very kind to us, and they don't give us less food than they eat. Look..."

He pointed to a wounded man with a bandage on his head next to him and said, "I know you have shortage of medicines, and even your own wounded men can't use antibiotics, but after my subordinate fell ill, your doctor still used it without hesitation. You are real gentlemen and we are grateful for everything you have done."

"Then why are you...well!" I couldn't find a suitable word to describe Major Paltz and his subordinates. At this time, they were no longer as soldiers as soldiers in front of me, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as a group of beggars.

"Dear Chinese soldiers." Major Paltz sighed and shook his head and said, "We have to lower our noble heads and give in to you. In the past few days, we have eaten as much as you, slept as you, slept as you, walked as many roads as you, and ended up like us...so we have become!"

"Oh!" I finally understood that it was not the volunteers who abused them, but they were used to eating bread, living in tents, and driving chariots. At this time, they followed the volunteers to eat the same few fried noodles, sleeping in the same single book quilt, sleeping for the same short time, and having to travel through mountains and rivers with their legs on their legs when they were hungry and tired, so they couldn't stand it! No wonder they looked like a group of beggars now.

"I'm very sorry Major Paltz, but I don't think this will happen again in the future."

"Not going to happen again? That's great!" Major Paltz said excitedly: "Has your supplies been delivered? So we can ask for more quilts and food?"

"No, Major." I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "This is exactly what I want to say. Your plane successfully cut off our food routes and the supply was not brought up."

"Then you mean..."

"You have seen it all these days, Major Paltz." I spread my hands and said helplessly: "Even if I don't say it, you know that our food is very tight now. It can be said that it is time to get out of food, and the bullets are almost exhausted. There is no way to fight without food or bullets, so we plan to return to our country and stop fighting. And you... you will be released!"

"What? Please... please say it again?" Major Paltz's eyes instantly regained his anger.

"I said, you will be released! You are free."

"I, I heard it right!" Major Paltz still couldn't believe his ears.

"You heard it right." I joked, "We have very little food. In order not to let you eat us poor, I had to let you go."

"Hahaha..." Major Paltz laughed exaggeratedly, while his subordinates jumped up from the ground and cheered.

"Thank you, respected Chinese soldier." Major Paltz held my hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude: "You saved our lives and gave us freedom. Can you know your name? We will remember you."

"Cui Wei." I nodded and said, "My name is Cui Wei. One day, I hope we can become friends."

"Of course." Major Paltz nodded.

"Hey, thank you man!"

"Thank you so much!"

"Hi, my name is Jason. If I can contact you after the damn battle, I will definitely invite you to come to my house to try the pies made by my wife. They are amazing."

...

Major Paltz and his men kept thanking me and every volunteer soldier they could see. At this time, I realized that the Americans were cute, at least, they would know that they were grateful.

"Goodbye! Goodbye!"

Major Paltz and his subordinates walked far away and couldn't help but look back and wave to us, but I couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness in my heart. When I saw you again, maybe I was on the battlefield, and maybe I had to fight to the death...

"Why... why did you let it go?" Hu Zi realized that I was going to release the American soldiers, so he hurriedly ran up and shouted: "Where are more than a hundred American devils! I'll let it go and let it go? No, I'll go and get them back!"

"Huzi, Huzi..." I hurriedly chased me and grabbed Huzi and said, "Brother Huzi, this is the order of the regiment commander."

"Platform leader!" Hu Zi said in pain: "I can't figure it out. Why did the Japanese who finally caught him? They went back to pick up the gun and then fucked us again? This... isn't this a bargain?"

"What do you know?" The old squad leader next to him helped to scold Hu Zi, "I know what it means to fish for big fish on a long line? I know what it means to be reluctant to leave a child and not be able to trap a wolf? I know how to make trouble! Platoon leader, your equipment..."

"Yes." I took the equipment from the old squad leader, shouted and set off, and followed the large army to retreat north with the soldiers of the platoon.

According to the agreement between me and the regiment commander, the soldiers of the regiment intentionally threw down some equipment along the way, occasionally there were a few old-fashioned rifles, and even deliberately exploded the bridge when crossing the bridge, with the purpose of making the enemy convinced that we were really running away...

But this made Hu Zi confused and followed me and asked, "Aren't we going to get the enemy to catch up? Why did we blow up the bridge?"

It took me a lot of time to explain it to him clearly, and I had no choice but to have no choice but to Hu Zi, a straight-minded comrade.

"Planer Leader Cui, was it your idea?" Jin Qiulian ran to me and asked in a low voice.

"It's not bad!" I smiled and agreed.

"I just knew it was you." Jin Qiulian curled her lips and said, "But don't be happy too early, the enemy may not be fooled!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scouts behind rushed up and shouted: "The enemy is following, the enemy is following! Return to speed..."

I raised my head to Jin Qiulian as a victorious person and smiled happily. That person raised his head, since I went to save someone and was saved by her until now, I have always felt that I had lost face in front of her, and now I have finally shown my face in this matter.

"What's the pride?" Jin Qiulian made a face and cut it: "Aren't those reactionaries too stupid!"
