Lin Feng did not understand and looked at him in surprise. Who knew that the veteran would walk up to Lin Feng and kneel on one knee.
He made a standard one-knee salute.
The one-knee salute of the veteran was an ancient military salute. It was a sign of loyalty from a soldier or officer to his superior.
On some important occasions, this kind of kneeling ceremony was more formal.
As the saying goes, a man's knees are filled with gold. Usually, when one kneels, one would only kneel to the heavens, kneel to the ground, and kneel to one's parents.
Therefore, as a soldier, kneeling on one knee was already a very solemn etiquette.
"I'm Song Yuanluo, a member of the 36th Division's Special Agent Company. From today onwards, I am willing to follow Officer Lin to fight against the Japanese and kill the enemy. If I cower, the heavens and earth will punish me!”
The veteran stared at Lin Feng and said word by word.
"Song Yuanluo?"
Lin Feng repeated the name twice and was shocked. Why did the name Song Yuanluo sound so familiar?
This person was one of the earliest snipers in China!
In the earliest days of the Chinese army, there was no sniper. Later on, when the German Machinists were formed, the German military advisor emphasized the importance of snipers in war.
Especially in positional warfare, the deterrent effect of a sniper on the enemy's psychology and lethality were incomparable.
However, Old Jiang and the other higher-ups generally believed that a soldier's contribution to a battle was negligible. Spending so much effort to train a sniper was not worth it.
Thus, they only established a small team in the Special Agent Company.
The name was not the sniper of the future, but the fire support unit.
Song Yuanluo was the first batch of snipers trained by a German military instructor according to the German military curriculum.
However, he was famous not only because he was one of the first batch of snipers trained by the Chinese military, but also because he was the nephew of Song Xilian, the commander of the 36th division of the German Machinists.
After the 36th Division was defeated by the Japanese army, Song Yuanluo was not like the average second-generation officer who retreated to the rear to rest.
Instead, he stayed in the enemy's territory alone and killed countless Japanese soldiers with a single gun. There were 17 Japanese officers on record, including 11 lieutenants, 5 lieutenants, and even a major general.
His battle achievements had always been spread by later generations, but because of his identity, he had always used an alias.
It was said that Song Yuanluo had night vision and could see objects hundreds of meters away at night, but this was probably just a rumor.
However, Song Yuanluo's superb spear technique was definitely real.
"I didn't expect to pick up another treasure!”
Lin Feng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He quickly walked forward and helped Song Yuanluo up." Good brother, we're all fighting the devils. What's with the 'senior officer' and 'senior officer' nonsense? If you think highly of me in the future, just call me 'senior brother'!"”
[Ding-dong. Song Yuanluo's loyalty to you has increased to 40%.]”
Perhaps it was because he was a second-generation official, but Song Yuanluo was well aware of the darkness of officialdom. Therefore, he had an instinctive sense of conflict and suspicion towards Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng was ostentatious, his loyalty was only 40%.
"F * ck, why is his loyalty only 40%?”
Lin Feng was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue, but he quickly recovered and comforted himself,"No rush, no rush…The better the seedling, the harder it is to subdue. In the future, when I show off all my skills, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to subdue you!”
As the captain of the special forces in his previous life, all of Lin Feng's soldiers were selected from the entire army. However, in his hands, it only took a few days for all of them to submit.
"Song Yuanluo must have a knot in his heart. If I don't open this knot, he will always be estranged from me.”
Lin Feng saw Song Yuanluo collecting the spoils of war with a cold expression on his face, and he had a vague guess in his heart.
"Forget it, now is not the time to think about this!”
Lin Feng decided to stop thinking about it. He turned around and shouted at the soldiers who were collecting the spoils of war,"The Japanese reinforcements are about to arrive. Hurry up and collect the ammunition. If you can't take the guns away, smash them on the spot.”
"Yes, Officer Lin!"
Through this ambush, the loyalty of these soldiers to Lin Feng had increased greatly.
In addition, he was usually amiable and approachable, so these soldiers could not help but listen to his commands.
As the saying goes, to fight a tiger, one needs a brother. In battle, one needs a father and son soldier. In war, only by working together can one's combat effectiveness be maximized!
By closing the distance between them and the soldiers, these soldiers would risk their lives in battle and defeat enemies that were stronger than them.
This was an eternal truth since ancient times!
The more adverse the situation, the more it could destroy a team. On the contrary, the more adverse the situation, the faster the team's cohesion.
This depended entirely on the excellent quality of a commander. Lin Feng had been with these remnants for less than two hours, and he had relied on his excellent military knowledge and skilled commanding skills.
To be supported by these soldiers was simply shocking!
From the perspective of the veterans who had survived bloody battles, they were more willing to follow a commander like Lin Feng, who was cunning and brave, in a chaotic battlefield surrounded by enemies!
The only way to survive from the wolves was to be more cunning and vicious than those bloodthirsty wolves.
And Lin Feng completely fit these characteristics!
……
3rd division, 5th Brigade headquarters.
Daisuke Inoue was looking carefully at the battle map. He narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light landed on a spot on the map.”
"Commander, we have just received a message from the division command. They ordered us to ensure the safety of the logistics warehouse and eliminate the remnants of the 140th Brigade!”
A signalman respectfully handed the message to Daisuke Inoue.
As a member of the Choshu Domain, three generations of his family had been soldiers.
From his grandfather's generation, he had already fought for Japan's expansion of territory, and his personal resume was impeccable.
He graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army University and served in the Kwantung Army. Because he fought bravely in the battle to destroy the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, he even received the honor of meeting the Emperor.
Following that, because of the Battle of Shanghai, he was promoted to the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division, the 2nd Brigade Captain.
Since the war began, Inoue Kintu had fought valiantly. He had once used a brigade of troops to defeat a main division of the national army at Haosongkou and was promoted to the position of colonel by the headquarters.
To be promoted to the rank of colonel at the age of less than thirty, one could say that his future career was smooth.
As long as there were no major accidents, after the Battle of Songhu ended, the promotion to regimental commander was a sure thing!
However, as the military merits continued to accumulate, the things that troubled Inoue Kanto also came one after another.
