Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

Several grown men held hands together excitedly for a long time.

Wang Zhuguo suddenly asked, "Captain, what you call your own team is the 122nd Regiment?"

Xu Yan was stunned when he heard Wang Zhuguo's words. Could it be that this kid has his own ideas? Seeing that he didn't say anything, it was obvious that you were right.

"But the 122nd Regiment is a unit of the Dongning Army! I am also the deputy commander of the Dongning Army. How can we recruit our own troops? It doesn't make sense."

"I was the colonel commander of the Dongning Army! Are you crazy? Now the Dongning Army is gone! The whole Northeast is in chaos! The Japanese have occupied our homes! We have all become slaves of a conquered nation! The Marshal has run away!" Xu Yan yelled in a bad mood.

Wang Zhuguo wanted to say something, but he found himself at a loss as to what to say, so he opened his mouth and got stuck.

Zhao Wenyu quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Captain, Deputy Captain Wang's concerns are justified. We are still part of the Dongning Army, and the name is not right. We need to come up with a name of our own."

Wang Zhuguo finally moved his mouth after hearing what Zhao Wenyu said, "Captain, that's what I meant!"

Xu Yan rolled his eyes at them and suddenly said, "You two have not been fishing in vain."

Wang Zhuguo said without a smile: "Hey, the captain is joking, the captain is joking."

But Zhao Wenyu heard Xu Yan's words with another meaning. Zhao Wenyu's expression suddenly became complicated and he secretly groaned, "Oh no! Captain Xu is warning me for getting too close to Wang Zhuguo."

Xu Yan took in the expressions of the two and said in a deep voice: "Don't think too much, I don't mean anything else, it's just the literal meaning! But I ask you to be fully prepared mentally, the enemy we are going to face next is the Japanese! It's no longer the civil war we fought before! This is a life-and-death war! It's no longer a fight between warlords! This is a matter of national justice! Just wait and see, soon a bunch of people will defect to the Japanese and become traitors. I hope you all know your own identities! This will be a difficult war, and some of us may even die in battle, or we may all die on the battlefield! But as long as one of us is there, we must fight to the end! Be an upright Chinese!"

His voice was low and firm, and his eyes revealed a hint of determination, as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and the adjutant walked in with a man.

Deputy Regiment Leader Wang quickly stood up and went to greet him, saying, "County Chief Chen, why are you here? But you've come just in time. This is our regiment leader, Commander Xu, this is Chen Keji, the county chief of Lueyin County."

Xu Yan turned around and walked forward to shake hands with Chen Keji, and the two exchanged a few brief greetings.

Xu Yan inadvertently looked up and down at County Magistrate Chen. He was tall and thin, with an extremely thin figure, wearing a pair of thick round glasses. He looked so gentle and refined that he looked more like a teacher than a county magistrate.

"Everyone, everyone, I have something important to tell you!" Chen Keji was obviously very anxious and didn't say any more nonsense.

"Please speak of County Magistrate Chen." Xu Yan waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Captain Xu, you know that Fengtian fell, and you know that the Japanese have invaded!" Chen Keji said anxiously.

"We were just talking about this. We all know all this. I am from Fengtian." Xu Yan nodded.

"But you know that the Kwantung Army will arrive in Lueyin County soon!" Chen Keji said in a panic, his voice trembling.

"So fast?" Xu Yan was also surprised. He didn't expect that the Kwantung Army would have reached here in less than a week.

"Your Dongning Army is running away and scattering, while the Kwantung Army has not encountered any resistance along the way! How can we not be fast when we are advancing in great strides?" Chen Keji's words were full of resentment.

Xu Yan knew very well that County Magistrate Chen was right and he really had nothing to defend himself. On his way back, he saw many fleeing Dongning soldiers. Xu Yan felt guilty and didn't know how to face County Magistrate Chen and the people. He knew that the army's behavior had caused dissatisfaction and disgust among many people. He didn't know how to defend himself or how to face his own heart.

Xu Yan lowered his head silently. He felt his heart beating so fast that it seemed to jump out of his chest. He didn't know what to say or what to do. He could only let County Magistrate Chen's accusations and scoldings echo in his ears.

Chen Keji didn't expect this kind of reaction. He had been prepared to be beaten up by these soldiers before he came, or to be shot by them! These people are only bullies in their own home! Usually they are just bullies and oppress the people. Chen Keji has long hated them. If Chen Keji hadn't cared about the people under his rule, he would never have anything to do with these soldiers!

"So what do you want to do? Do you want to protect the peace of this area or pack up and run away like those people?" Chen Keji's eyes were like a sharp blade, and his words were like a dagger, ruthlessly stabbing into the hearts of every soldier present. His voice was low and powerful, full of majesty and determination, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

Everyone present felt Chen Keji's gaze and words.

Wang Zhuguo's face had turned ugly. In this awkward atmosphere, he felt as if his face was being burned by fire, and he felt very uncomfortable. He knew that he was a rough man who was not good at speaking. He rarely had the opportunity to interact with these cultured people, and he didn't know how to refute their words. Moreover, among these people, he and Zhao Wenyu ate the most, which made him feel very embarrassed and awkward.

As the saying goes, "One who eats the food of others should be grateful, and one who receives the food of others should be grateful." Wang Zhuguo knew that since he had benefited from others, he should be grateful to them and should not point fingers at them. However, he felt that he had done nothing wrong. He just ate a few meals as he pleased. Why should he be criticized like this? He felt very wronged and angry.

Zhao Wenyu secretly glanced at Xu Yan and found that Xu Yan's face did not change much. I wonder what he thought of Chen Keji's words? After hearing Chen Keji's words, Xu Yan couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart. He knew that what Chen Keji said was true. Being a soldier meant to keep a place safe, but now it was not as simple as keeping a place safe. This peace was not easy to keep! The dark cloud of war enveloped the entire Northeast.

He knew very well that the most important task at the moment was to protect his own strength and accumulate power. Fighting with the Japanese in this small county town was tantamount to suicide. This was an absolute loss-making deal, and he could not let himself and his brothers sacrifice in vain.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to act impulsively and he had to find a way to protect himself and his brothers. He had to make a plan, a plan that would allow them to survive.

He began to think carefully about his situation. He had few soldiers, and there was no place to defend Lueyin County. All he could do was to take the people who did not want to be slaves of the country and move with them, rather than sacrifice them here in vain, because he knew that even if he killed them all, he would not be able to hold the place! He remembered the great man's principle: if the people survive but the land is lost, both the people and the land will survive; if the land survives but the people are lost, both the people and the land will perish!

Xu Yan sorted out his emotions and said to Chen Keji with a smile on his face: "I am speechless because of County Magistrate Chen's question! I admit that as a soldier, a soldier of the Northeast Baojing Anning Army, we failed in our duty. We failed to resist foreign humiliation, but instead fought a civil war for half a day. Facing foreign invasion, we did not have any decent resistance. I also feel disgusted with these scums in our army!"

Xu Yan paused and glanced at Chen Keji. Seeing that Chen Keji did not react, he continued, "But we are definitely not that kind of army! My brothers have shed blood and sweat! Captain Fang, we took a company of brothers and cut off the enemy's supply line. There are more than a hundred brothers in our company, but we only have less than fifty people back! Can you say they are also soldiers? We are also bleeding and sacrificing! But our current strength is too weak! There are too few teams like this! If we ignore our own weak strength and insist on fighting the enemy to the death, this is absolutely wrong! Fight for every inch of land, don't give up an inch of land, protect the territory and the people, this is all right! We should do this, but it depends on the specific situation! How to fight and how to protect. Here I would like to give County Magistrate Chen a word, if people are saved and land is lost, people and land will be saved, if land is saved and people are lost, people and land will be lost!"

Xu Yan talked a lot, which made Chen Keji, who thought he was very talented, stunned. Especially his last sentence, "If you save the people but lose the land, both the people and the land will be saved; if you save the land but lose the people, both the people and the land will be lost." It was concise but contained profound philosophy.

After thinking for a while, Chen Keji finally realized what was going on: "Captain Xu, do you mean you want to leave?"

"It's not us, it's all of us together!" Xu Yan said loudly.

"Let's go together?" Chen Keji still didn't quite understand.

"Let's go together, take the villagers who want to leave, and we will move together. Those who want to join the army can also join our team! Let's build our own team! A team to fight against the Japanese devils!" Xu Yan said very seriously and sincerely, holding Chen Keji's hand.
