The officer's attitude was very firm, but Sun Lianzhong could still hear the reluctance and helplessness in his voice. He sighed and replied,"Alright, sir. I will absolutely obey the order until the entire army is finished.”
The officer was silent for a moment. Then, she said to him.
"I will now offer a reward of 100,000 yuan. Gather all the soldiers in the rear who can hold guns, stretcher bearers, cooks, and soldiers in the front line. The 100,000 yuan was divided equally among them. There will definitely be brave men under the heavy reward. You should take care of yourself. The outcome of the battle depends on this move.”
"Obey the orders of the commander." Sun Lianzhong sighed again.”He put down the phone. He immediately went to Taierzhuang.
He ordered the destruction of the pontoon bridge to show his determination to all the officers and soldiers.
Standing in front of him was the suicide squad formed by the soldiers who could hold guns, stretcher bearers, cooks, and frontline soldiers. It was the last force of the 31st Division.
Otherwise, Hao Deshan, the cook, wouldn't have come here.
An entire division was almost crippled.
Sun Lianzhong surveyed the suicide squad in front of him. He did not know how many people would be able to stand here tomorrow.
However, he knew that the vast majority of them were going to sleep on this land.
"You, step forward!" He suddenly pointed at a soldier at the back of the team and shouted.
A soldier slowly walked out. His body was very thin and weak. Most importantly, his age was at most sixteen or seventeen years old. His face was still childish.
Like everyone else, he had a large knife on his back, a "Zhongzheng" in his hand, and a bag of silver coins in his arms. In the entire team, he was the only one who did not throw away the bag of silver coins.
Someone recognized him. He was a soldier in the division headquarters.
"What's your name?" Sun Lianzhong asked him.
"Sir, I'm called Dog Baby." The soldier's reply caused the surrounding soldiers to burst into laughter, but the tense atmosphere was greatly alleviated.
"I asked what your name is." Sun Lianzhong asked in a deep voice.
"What's your name? My surname is Dog. My mother has called me Dog Baby since I was young.”The soldier replied stubbornly.
"Sir, his surname is Gou, and his name is really Gou Wazi.”A soldier explained for him.
"How old are you?" Sun Lianzhong continued to ask.
"I, I'm eighteen." the dog replied.
"Say it again! How old are you?" Sun Lianzhong asked sternly.
"Almost eighteen." This time, the dog's answer was a little timid.
"How much difference?" Sun Lianzhong continued to ask.
"It's only a dozen months away." The dog's voice lowered.
" This…" Sun Lianzhong was speechless. "You haven't even grown your hair. Why are you here?”
"I want to earn money." The dog child said seriously and subconsciously hugged the bag of silver coins.
"Big Ball, why are you in a hurry to earn money? Isn't it a little too early to get married?" Someone in the team shouted.
"Earn money for my mom." The dog turned around and said to the person in a serious manner,""My dad died early. My mom has it too hard on us siblings. I want to earn money so that my mother can live a good life.”
" This…" Everyone fell silent. After a long time, Sun Lianzhong said," Don't come here. Do you know where this is?"”
"Yes, the suicide squad. I'm not afraid of death. As long as my mother lives a good life, I'm fine with anything.”The dog answered firmly.
"You…" This time, it was Sun Lianzhong who couldn't say anything."Step out and return to your division.”
"I won't!" Dog Child firmly denied it.
"Sir, I think we should forget about it." Hao Deshan said.
He took two steps forward and stood beside the dog child. He saluted Sun Lianzhong and said,""At this point, it's the same everywhere. On account of this child's filial piety, he would fulfill his wish.”
Sun Lianzhong didn't say anything. He just sighed and nodded slightly.
"Dog, come, follow me today. I'll try my best not to let you suffer.”Hao Deshan turned around and said to the dog, then took the bag of silver coins from his arms and threw it on the pile of silver coins.
"Forget about this. It's in the way. Don't worry, the officer has already given it to you. After the war, it's still yours.”
" But if I do that..." Before the dog could finish, Sun Lianzhong immediately said,""Everyone, don't worry. These silver coins have already been distributed to everyone. Even if anything happens, I promise to send it to your home.”
After Sun Lianzhong finished speaking, he turned to look at the dog.""However, you should have a name, right? The name Dog Child is too much. Why don't someone give him a name?”
"Sir. It didn't matter. " That's a good name, and I'm used to it. Anyway, maybe tomorrow-" Before the dog could finish his words, a voice interrupted him.
"Wrong, dog. Even if we only live for an hour, we have to be a decent person for an hour. How can we not even have a decent name?”
The one who spoke was a thin soldier. He had a scholarly look on his face, and he looked like a student.
If it weren't for the fact that he was carrying a rifle and wearing a tattered military uniform, it would be difficult to associate him with a soldier.
As he spoke, he took two steps out of the formation and said to the dog,
"Why don't I help you name one? Your surname is Gou, and according to the homonym, you'll be called Gou Wanzi. The word 'ten thousand' means ten thousand, and the word 'Zi' symbolizes vitality and self-improvement. What do you think?"
"Good, good name." The surrounding people cheered. Chi Fengcheng quickly introduced him to Sun Lianzhong,""This person's name is Zhao Daquan, a student soldier who just joined at the beginning of this year.”
"Which school are you from?" Sun Lianzhong asked Zhao Daquan.
"Sir, I graduated from National Northwest University last year.”Zhao Daquan replied.
"Very good. The mountains and rivers are broken, and you're willing to join the army. Young man, good job.”Sun Lianzhong turned around.”He picked up a bowl of wine and chanted loudly,
" Grape wine, luminous cup,
I want to drink the pipa, I'll hurry on my horse.
Drunk on the battlefield, don't you laugh,
Since ancient times, how many have returned to war?
Brothers, drink this cup-"
"Wait, sir." Zhao Daquan interrupted him."Wang Han's Liangzhou Ci is a good poem, but I think it's too tactful and not strong enough to be used at this time.”
"Oh? Then which one do you think is more suitable?" Sun Lianzhong asked him.
"This one:
Grind your beard and ask how many heads the devil has!”
Zhao Daquan shouted out word by word, and at the same time, he raised his clenched fist.
"Good! What a good question! It was satisfying. Come, everyone, cheers." Sun Lianzhong was also excited. He drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and smashed the bowl on the ground.
