Xing Family Village, in the open space outside the village.
Dozens of scarecrows were inserted into the ground to form four rows. At the end of the four rows of scarecrows, there were two men in the Eighth Route Army uniform riding on horses. They had sabers on their waists and M1938A submachine guns on their backs. They looked like soldiers who were about to enter the battlefield.
Around the empty space, hundreds of soldiers of the new regiment and villagers of Xing Family Village rushed over after hearing the news, surrounding the empty space to watch the show with interest. Among them, Bai Xian and Li Yunlong were leaning against the tree trunk at the edge of the open space, commenting on the two people on the horse.
"These two are the Cavalry Company Commander and Deputy Company Commander that Regiment Commander Li has chosen?”
"That's right."
Li Yunlong nodded and chuckled,"
"This Liu Ming is the captain of the cavalry that we captured from Wan Jia Town. Although he had been a traitor, he was still a man, and his abilities were not bad. I, Old Li, suspected him but didn't use him, so I put him on the list of candidates for the cavalry company commander.
That Sun Desheng is an old subordinate of mine. He is also a tiger general. In the past, he worked in the 69th Army Cavalry Regiment. Later, Shi Yousan joined the Japanese and became a traitor. He left Shi Yousan and joined our Eighth Route Army. It's just that our new regiment didn't have any cavalrymen, so he could only be an infantry soldier. Now, he's back to his old profession.”
"I see."
Bai Xian nodded.
As for this Sun Desheng, he naturally had an impression of him after watching 'Drawing Swords.' He remembered that when he was twelve years old, his parents died. When he was about to starve to death, he was saved by Shi Yousan on the roadside. Then, he fought for Shi Yousan for more than ten years. After Shi Yousan surrendered and became a traitor, he was very strong-willed. He did not want to be a traitor with his benefactor, so he turned to the Eighth Route Army. Bai Xian still remembered what he said to Zhao Gang in the TV series.
" Since I'm a soldier, I should be a soldier who's not afraid of death. If the country is in trouble, who else can help?'
Later, Sun Desheng also used his life to practice this sentence. During the anti-mopping-up operation in 1942, he had broken his arm and shouted," Cavalry Company, attack!" All by himself, he had moved countless television viewers.
(PS: Sun Desheng is considered an iconic character in "Drawing the Sword." When I saw the cavalry company being completely annihilated, I was really moved to tears. Now that I've written the novel and reread the episode of the cavalry charge several times, it's still very touching.)
Bai Xian recalled the TV series he had watched before. Li Yunlong pretended to be helpless and said,
"These two are both good at cavalry combat. I, Old Li, don't know who should be the commander and vice commander of the cavalry.”
" Hehe…Commander Li, you're having a blissful time…"
"Hehe ~~ Brother Bai Xian's words are of a certain standard.”
While the two of them were chatting, they saw Hu Zi, who was acting as the referee, wave the signal flag. Liu Ming and Sun Desheng rode their horses and sprinted.
"Kill!"
Sun Desheng was indeed worthy of being praised by Li Yunlong. He held an M1938A submachine gun in his left hand and a saber in his right hand. He roared as he charged at the scarecrow that was stuck in the ground. First, he emptied the 30 bullets in the submachine gun's magazine in one breath, then waved his saber and beheaded the scarecrows one by one. The two scarecrows were shot and chopped by Sun Desheng. In the end, only seven scarecrows were left standing.
However, Liu Ming was not someone to be trifled with. The taciturn man was firing his M1938A submachine gun while waving his saber to harvest the scarecrows 'heads. He shot left and right, causing the two scarecrows to fall into disarray. When he rushed out from the middle of the two scarecrows, there were only five scarecrows left standing.
"Alright!!" n
Seeing Sun Desheng and Liu Ming's performance, the soldiers of the new regiment and the villagers of Xing Family Village immediately cheered loudly. At the same time, the villagers also felt a strong sense of security.
This was Li Yunlong's intention.
One of the reasons was to let Sun Desheng and Liu Ming compete with each other to choose who would be the commander of the cavalry. Another important reason was to show off their muscles to the villagers and show the strength of the Eighth Route Army to show that the Eighth Route Army had the ability to resist the Japanese and protect them.
After all, the idea of chaos could give these people a sense of security and a stable life. They would sincerely thank you, support you, and provide you with an endless stream of soldiers and food. This could also be considered as cultivating the enthusiasm of the masses to support the army and resist the Japanese.
Swoosh!
Hu Zi returned his saber to its scabbard. Holding the signal flag, he ran to the empty ground and counted the scarecrows. Then, he announced loudly to everyone,
"Sun Desheng knocked down 23, Liu Ming knocked down 25, and the others were all killed. Liu Ming wins this match!"
"Alright!!" n
Upon hearing the outcome of the competition, the cheers of the new regiment of soldiers became softer. However, the cheers of the villagers of Xing Family Village remained the same. After all, they did not know that Liu Ming was a cavalry commander of the puppet army a few days ago.
But Sun Desheng knew.
When this man heard that he had lost to a traitor, he was instantly unconvinced.
"It doesn't count this time. It's just that I'm not used to using submachine guns. Let's compete again!”
“... Up to you."
Liu Ming shrugged casually and reloaded the submachine gun in his hand before preparing to compete with Sun Desheng again. He also knew that his identity was awkward, so he didn't care much about the position of cavalry company commander. After all, he would still be the deputy company commander if he lost.
Hence, Sun Desheng and Liu Ming competed again.
This time, Sun Desheng's performance was much better. He had defeated 26 of the 30 scarecrows. Unfortunately, although Liu Ming didn't care much about winning or losing the competition, he didn't plan to go easy on Sun Desheng. He cleanly killed 27 scarecrows, which happened to be one more than Sun Desheng. This made Sun Desheng very angry.
“艹! In terms of archery, I admit that I'm inferior to you. Let's not shoot on horseback, let's fight on horseback!”
"Come."
As the two spoke, they prepared for another round of competition. When referee Hu Zi saw this, he could not help but roll his eyes. Then, he said in a bad mood,
"Are you two blind? Didn't you see how badly the scarecrows we made were chopped by you?”
"Uh…" 2
"Alright, alright ~~"
Just as the two of them were looking at the scarecrow remains on the ground and feeling awkward, Li Yunlong walked over with Bai Xian. Seeing this, Sun Desheng and Liu Ming quickly jumped off their horses and saluted Li Yunlong.
Then, Li Yunlong kicked Sun Desheng.
"Sun Desheng, you f * cking lost and you still don't admit it?”
"Reporting to Guild Leader! I don't mind losing to my comrades, I don't mind losing to the Japanese, and I don't mind losing to them. But I'm not convinced that I lost to a traitor!”
"Traitor? What traitor?"
Li Yunlong kicked Sun Desheng again and said unhappily,"
"Comrade Liu Ming has turned over a new leaf and joined our Eighth Route Army! Now, he is your comrade!"
