War is cruel.

War is tiring.

The great man said that one is not afraid of suffering, and the other is not afraid of death.

Why is suffering ranked first? Because it is long-term and cannot be relieved.

It's not pain. It's hardship.

The glory lies in the plainness, and the difficulty lies in the long time.

It has only been half a month since the Marco Polo Bridge Incident until today.

However, Zhang Yong felt as if many years had passed. The time was extremely long. Every day was longer than a year.

There is no hot water for bathing.

No hot rice. No soup. No Coke.

Nothing.

I couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and was very nervous.

Only hard dry food. Eat it as much as you like.

Of course, you can also use your troops to plunder and go to the common people to ask for food. If you don't give them, you will rob them.

However, this may bring disaster to them. The Japanese invaders will definitely kill them if they learn that they are supporting the national army.

At the same time, the people who were robbed must have been very angry and reported it to the Japanese invaders.

Don't think too highly of the consciousness of ordinary people.

The people are illiterate and the poor people have no sense of nationality at all, let alone any sense of national pride.

To put it harshly, they have no awareness at all.

Even if the other party is the Japanese invaders, as long as they are given some benefits, they can betray the national army.

It’s just that our history books don’t dare to mention it.

Fighting behind enemy lines is so difficult.

Therefore, it is impossible to carry out struggles behind enemy lines in areas without a mass base.

Doesn’t the national army not want to launch a struggle behind enemy lines? It’s not that it doesn’t want to. It’s that it can’t do it because it doesn’t have the secret and voluntary support of the common people.

Tang Enbo's later anger and resentment was also due to his plundering.

But what can he do?

If we don't grab it, the army will collapse.

Therefore, from the root, it is destined to be unsustainable.

It's okay to eat. I can barely find food. I can't take a shower or change clothes. That's the most terrible thing.

Everyone's body is dirty and has various skin diseases.

In the past, I felt that the sword was already very realistic, and the clothes of the people in it were all dirty.

Now I realize that the bright sword is also an exaggeration. Over there is the Eighth Route Army. It is the Jinsui Army, not the larger number of other national armies.

It's fine at ordinary times. Once in combat mode, everyone is almost like a beggar.

Including Zhang Yong himself, he also had a beard, and his whole body exuded a stinky smell. This was caused by the alternate penetration of rain and sweat.

If his women saw him at this time, they would all shy away.

Maybe he fainted from the smoke before he even got close.

Just a miserable word...

Is there a solution?

Yes. Find a campsite.

Conditional.

Everyone takes a shower.

Change clothes.

do the laundry.

Catch lice.

Treat skin diseases.

Especially bad feet.

Suddenly I felt that the bare feet of the national army were actually quite good.

At least bare feet are not so easy to be soaked by rain, and not so easy to rot. Wearing cloth shoes is a tragedy.

Cloth shoes are not resistant to dirt, are not waterproof, and cannot withstand sharp objects. They are almost useless. However, even so, even cloth shoes cannot be provided for everyone.

There was no time to knit straw sandals. Zhang Yong didn’t know how to knit straw sandals, so he just went barefoot.

What to do if your foot is pricked?

He doesn't know either, but he would rather go barefoot.

Otherwise, he really can't bear the rotten feet.

It's so itchy.

The more I scratched, the more itchy it became.

This is still him.

Inspector of the dignified military and political committee.

The supreme commander of the troops.

Have the best conditions.

The same is true for him. One can imagine how badly treated ordinary soldiers would be.

Thinking about it, after the Sichuan army entered the battle, in the eyes of the well-equipped Japanese invaders, they might just be a bunch of beggars!

Fortunately, many Japanese invaders have been eliminated recently and many military boots have been seized.

Jiao Rulin, Gao Youxun and others have been active on the battlefield all year round and have long been accustomed to it.

"Commissioner, you have to get used to it."

"You should be able to get used to it in a year and a half."

The two of them comforted Zhang Yong seriously.

Zhang Yong looks a bit strange now.

Walking with a slight limp.

It seems like my butt hurts.

If it were placed in future generations, it might be misunderstood by others.

But in this era, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that it is the sequelae of traveling long distances on horseback.

I rode a horse all the way from Shimen to the vicinity of Juyongguan, about 300 kilometers. My buttocks were almost bleeding. Even wearing a thick mattress was of no use.

That's what war is like.

The cavalry looks cool on the surface, but who knows the pain behind them.

However, no matter how painful it is, you have to endure it.

Because I need speed. I don’t want to be an infantryman. If there is danger, I can’t run away.

At this moment, there are Japanese invaders everywhere around Peiping.

Several Japanese divisions have gathered here and are planning to divide their forces to attack.

Because there was no clear judgment on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, the Japanese invaders did not dare to act hastily.

Mainly because he, Zhang Yong, made two consecutive sneak attacks and overestimated the combat effectiveness of other national troops. Therefore, he did not dare to attack rashly.

An infantry regiment marching alone may be wiped out.

A division is necessary.

The division still needs to be fully prepared.

We must focus on taking good care of our artillery. We also need aviation cover.

In this case, the action will definitely not be so fast.

Of course, a very important point is to determine where Zhang Yong is.

Where Zhang Yong appears, there may be danger.

"There's someone ahead."

"Stop moving forward."

Zhang Yong suddenly raised his hand and jumped off his horse.

The map shows that in the northwest, there are a large number of white dots approaching. They all have weapons signs and there are many people.

It should be one of our own. But I don’t know which part it is from.

"Chen Hansheng."

"arrive."
