Chapter 372: How can there be no casualties in war?
After having breakfast, Que Dongjin and Li Jianwei were about to leave Ou Laosan and the others.
Little Bee looked at Que Dongjin and said, "Dongjin, I heard from Lao San that you were injured because you tried to save him. Thank you so much."
"Why do you treat me as an outsider? We are all here to fight the Japanese, so there's no need to be polite." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"How is your injury? I'm so sorry about it last night. I was so busy arguing with you that I didn't care about your wound ." Ou Lao San also said.
"Brother, look, it's okay. Didn't I tell you yesterday, it's just a minor skin injury. We will study how to destroy the Japanese artillery tower after we go back. When we have a way, I will come to you and ask for your help." Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"How can be helping you by beating the Japanese? Beating the Japanese is our job." said the little bee.
"Yes, Little Bee is right. Fighting the Japanese is our job. Dongjin, don't ask for help anymore. By the way, I would like to take down the Japanese artillery tower as soon as possible so that I can wait for your instructor to come." said Ou Lao San.
"Don't worry, once you take down the Japanese artillery tower, two of us will come over," said Que Dongjin.
"I heard this from Ou Lao San last night. It's great to have your people as instructors. When the time comes, Ou Lao San and I will both be students." said the little bee.
"Okay. You guys go back, we're leaving." Que Dongjin said goodbye to Ou Laosan and the others.
Ou Laosan watched Que Dongjin and the others walk away before returning to the village.
"Little Bee, go gather all the brothers. Aren't you still leading them in training? Let me say a few words first." said Ou Lao San.
"Okay." The little bee responded and blew the assembly call.
After a while, everyone gathered together.
Ou Laosan stood in front, looked at everyone, and said: "Brothers, this time I went out to lead people to fight the Japanese. During the two days I was away, something happened and the second in command left. I am also very sad about this. However, things have passed and we will not talk about it anymore. What I want to tell you today is that people call us bandits, and we are indeed bandits! However, we have our principles! We bandits cannot be traitors! We are bandits who fight the Japanese! We are bandits who rob the rich to help the poor! To put it nicely, we are righteous bandits!"
Ou Lao San said that he was a righteous bandit and glanced at everyone: "I say this not to brag, but to prove it with my actions! At present, the country is in crisis. Everyone, tell me, what should we do if we want to be good righteous bandits?"
"Kill the Japs! Kill the Japs!" everyone shouted.
"Yes! We must fight the Japanese! As long as we fight the Japanese, the people will support us! We are bandits with feelings and righteousness! The more Japanese we fight, the more they will regard us as bandits instead of army fighting the Japanese! If we become an army fighting the Japanese, we will have a future! To be honest, I don't want to be bandits with my brothers for the rest of my life! Although we are righteous bandits, we are bandits after all! Do you want our team to become a team fighting the Japanese?" Ou Lao San asked loudly.
"Yes! We want to become a team to fight the Japanese!" Everyone was very excited.
"Okay! This time I followed Que Dongjin to fight the Japanese, and I gained a lot of experience! How they fought the Japanese was really amazing! There were only seven of us this time, but we blew up the enemy's arsenal! More than forty Japanese were killed! And among the seven of us, only one person suffered minor skin injuries! He is Que Dongjin! Do you want to know how he was injured?" Ou Lao San paused.
"Boss, tell us what's going on!" someone said.
"Okay! I'll tell you! I'm not afraid of losing face anymore. Que Dongjin's skin injuries were caused by me. He got hurt while trying to save me." Ou Lao San paused and said, "In your eyes, I'm a capable fighter, right?"
"Of course! Big brother is wise!"
"In front of Que Dongjin and his group, I was the least capable of fighting! Only after we blew up the enemy's arsenal did I realize that Que Dongjin and his group were the real capable fighters. The next day, Que Dongjin asked us to fight the Japanese alone, and each of us killed three Japanese. However, he was afraid that I would make mistakes, so he asked me to form a team with him, and two of us could kill six Japanese. I knew that Que Dongjin was too fast, and if we encountered the Japanese, there would be no chance for me at all, and I didn't want to be in a team with him. He said that if we encountered the Japanese, he would leave three for me..." Ou Lao San stopped here, looked at everyone, and hesitated to speak.
"Boss, tell me! What happened next?"
"Later, in order to leave three Japanese soldiers for me, Que Dongjin killed four of them and stopped attacking, waiting for me to deal with them. However, the Japanese soldiers came to stab me. Seeing this, Que Dongjin blocked the Japanese soldier's bayonet and quickly grabbed the bayonet, allowing me to kill the Japanese soldier. Brothers, Que Dongjin is right, a few tenths of a second counts as a person's life! On the battlefield, speed, strength and skills are all indispensable! For this reason, Que Dongjin plans to send two instructors to us to teach us how to kill the Japanese soldiers! What do you think, is it okay?" Ou Lao San asked loudly.
"good!"
"Before the instructor comes, I think we can't be lazy and wait for the instructor to come. Little Bee will continue to lead us in training. We should be like Que Dongjin and the others, killing more Japanese soldiers and shedding less blood! Okay, everyone, get ready to train with Little Bee!" After saying this, Ou Lao San looked at Little Bee.
"Brothers, I, Little Bee, don't have any special skills, but I want to practice killing enemy soldiers with you all. After the instructor comes, I will train with you all. Okay, let's start practicing endurance today! Everyone, follow me for outdoor running training, okay?" The Little Bee looked at everyone with sparkling eyes.
"Okay! Let's follow the Third In Command. We are motivated!" everyone said.
Little Bee stopped talking and led everyone to run towards the woods on the mountain. Ou Laosan looked at everyone and smiled. He was finally relieved, and the worry about the second in command was finally gone. Ou Laosan really didn't want the second in command to die. When he left, he also told Little Bee to find out the second in command's mood. If he didn't have the idea of surrendering to the devils, then keep him. Who knew that he really wanted to be a traitor!
The little wolf ran closely after the little bee. He was young, strong, and ran fast.
"Little Wolf, from now on you just follow me, just like you follow the Second in Command, okay?" The little bee said to the little wolf as they ran.
"Okay! What should I call you? Little Bee, or Third in Command?" asked the little wolf.
"You can call me whatever you want. I'm the third in command, and many people call me Little Bee. I think it's very friendly." said the Little Bee.
"Little Bee, Third Boss, actually, we all like you very much. We say you are gentler than the First Boss." said the Little Wolf.
"Is the boss not good to you?"
"The boss is good to us, but many of us are afraid of him," said the little wolf.
"Are you not afraid of me?"
"Don't be afraid. We all want to talk to you!" said the little wolf.
"I will talk to you more often in the future. Little Wolf, tell your brothers that, in fact, the boss cares about you more than I do. Didn't you see? Last night, he almost killed me for the second in command." said the little bee.
"Everyone knows that the boss is sentimental, but everyone is also afraid of him. When he gets angry, he won't recognize anyone," said the little wolf.
"You're right. He doesn't even recognize his wife. But as long as it's for the good of the brothers, I won't mind him. Little Wolf, do you think the boss is doing this for the good of everyone?"
"Of course the boss is doing this for our own good! Little bee, is it true that when the instructor comes, you will follow him and learn from him?" asked the little wolf.
"Of course it's true."
"Your shooting skills are so accurate, you must be very capable. Why do you still want to learn?" Little Wolf followed very closely, while the others had already left them some distance away.
"Didn't you hear what the boss said? Que Dongjin and the others are the ones with real talent." said the little bee.
"I've heard about it and seen it. Didn't they perform for us that time?" said the little wolf.
"Yes, I have performed it. The boss said that when it was being performed, everyone thought it was just a wonderful show, but when it came to really killing the Japs, they realized how huge the gap between them was! I tell you, Que Dongjin can kill three or four Japs in the blink of an eye!" The little bee stopped and looked at the people behind him.
"Are you really that amazing?" The little wolf also stopped and looked at the little bee. "You run really fast."
"Brothers, come on! Don't be slack and lazy! If you continue like this, the instructor will come and make things difficult for you! The instructor will not talk to you like I do. If you fail to complete the training task, they will punish you." said the little bee.
A few people came over and one of them said with a smile: "Is the instructor the woman from that performance? The pretty one? She won't punish us, will she? She's very gentle."
"Chen Zhima, don't think about her gentleness. That's because she is not angry. Let me tell you, if she is angry, you will suffer a lot! Even if you are a sesame seed fallen on the ground, she will pick you up one by one and put them in her pocket!" said the little bee.
"Put it in your pocket to keep warm." Chen Zhima said with a smile.
"Warm? She'll suffocate you! Okay, stop talking nonsense and keep following me!" The little bee glared at Chen Zhima.
When Little Bee led everyone back, they all fell sideways on the lawn. Little Bee looked at these people and said, "You guys! You don't exercise normally, and you only run yourself to pieces when you go to rob the rich. Let me tell you, fighting the devils and robbing the rich are two different things! The devils are very cruel!"
"What happened to the Japanese? Were they ambushed and defeated by us?" someone said.
"We were lucky at that time! Look at how good Que Dongjin and his men were at fighting the Japanese. They took down their artillery towers and blew up their arsenal, and no one died! So many of our brothers died in the ambush! Isn't it because we were not well trained?" said the little bee.
"There will always be casualties in a war," said Chen Zhima.
"People will die in war. But the more you sweat in peacetime, the less you will bleed in war!" The little bee glared at Chen Zhima again.
