A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 289 Little Bookworm

The National Henan University was originally built in Kaifeng. Its original name was not Henan University. It was renamed several times until it was renamed Henan University in 42.

During the war years, many universities were forced to move constantly. Professors and teachers were forced to wander around with their students and books from the library, running schools in the midst of war, spreading knowledge, and inheriting Chinese culture.

Xia Chen was originally a science student at Henan University. Later, in response to the country's call, he joined the army and signed up for training at the Ramgarh training camp.

In the training camp, Xia Chen showed amazing fighting and command talents, and his training results improved rapidly, which soon attracted Lu Cheng's attention.

Lu Cheng also paid a lot of attention to this fellow villager who was two or three years younger than him, and asked him to follow his company for additional training.

As a new recruit, Xia Chen mastered the shooting of various guns and artillery in just three months, and learned various techniques of jungle warfare, mountain warfare, and special operations. He also achieved excellent results in command and tactics courses.

Even General Sun and General Liao had their eyes on Xia Chen and wanted to recruit him into their own troops.

Of course, although the military ranks of these two generals were higher than Lu Cheng, they were not able to compete with Lu Cheng.

Xia Chen soon became a die-hard fan of Lu Cheng. He admired the various abilities demonstrated by Lu Cheng and regarded Lu Cheng as his goal to learn from and strive for.

Compared with veterans like Bu La, Dong Dao and Mi Long, Xia Chen just lacks some practical skills.

Moreover, Xia Chen is an all-rounder. He has learned all kinds of combat skills very well, and even learned how to drive jeeps, trucks and infantry fighting vehicles.

For such a talent, Lu Cheng naturally treated him as a special operations commander, focused on training him, and even used body-strengthening pills on him to further enhance his combat effectiveness.

Now, Xia Chen only needs to go through a few actual combat battles to hone his skills and he can become a qualified special operations team leader.

On this day, Lu Cheng was inspecting the river defenses by the river. When he reached the Jiqipo position, he heard an impassioned recitation:

"Cannonballs cannot destroy the vitality of spring seedlings

The seeds under the iron wings have developed some resistance

Stand up, warriors of the great era

Standing like a tower in our land!

……

Blood nurtures the flower of freedom

We will raise the torch in the dark night!"

The soldiers on the battlefield were all very quiet. At this moment, they were quietly looking at the thin figure in the crowd who was reciting loudly, as if they saw something different in him.

Until a soldier saw Lu Cheng, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Hello, Brigade Commander!"

All the soldiers woke up as if from a dream, stood up, straightened their clothes, and saluted Lu Cheng.

Long Wenjian also trotted over quickly, showing his signature smile: "Captain, what's the wind blowing today? Why did you come to our Flag Sacrifice Hill?"

"Don't be so playful, what's wrong with that student?"

"Commander, I also met this student in a tavern a while ago. After chatting with him for a while, I found that this young man was quite thoughtful. So I brought him to the battlefield to let him experience the cruelty of the battlefield. I didn't expect him...he was like this...Commander, don't worry, I will have him driven away immediately."

"You don't have to be nervous. He's just a hot-blooded young man. Just send him away. Don't embarrass him. Also, tell the people below not to talk nonsense."

Although now is the time when the whole nation is united in the war of resistance, the Military Control Commission is keeping a close eye on us.

Especially recently, Lu Cheng's regiment was expanded into a brigade, and among the soldiers sent from above, there were some special ones, very much like intelligence personnel.

Lu Cheng used to be a captain in the world of Embroidered Spring Blade, and under his command was a professional intelligence agency like Jinyiwei. Lu Cheng could still tell the difference between intelligence personnel and ordinary soldiers.

Of course, Lu Cheng did not expose them. He just paid attention and assigned those people who might be members of the Military Control Commission to ordinary teams. He would not let them enter teams such as the spearhead company, the guard company, and the special operations platoon.

Soon, the young man whom Long Wenjian called "little bookworm" was sent away by the soldiers on the Jiqi Hill.

Before leaving, the little book still stood on the battlefield and shouted loudly: "Brothers, you are the pride of China. When you were fighting on the border, the teachers and students in our school cried. The teacher said that we can't cry. We must fight for every minute and every second to study. We can't let those real heroes become the last heroes."

Finally, the little bookworm told Long Wenjian that he wanted to go to the other side of the Nujiang River, to Heshun Town.

The soldiers on the Flag-Sacrificing Hill all laughed at the little bookworm's arrogance, thinking that he was just a nerd who had read too much and became stupid.

However, some people also see something different in the little bookworm, passion, hope and faith, which is the power of "Young China".

Afterwards, the little bookworm left the Jieqipo position and asked around in Zenda. He learned from an elderly man that there was a shallow beach in the upper reaches of the Nujiang River with a relatively gentle current. When there was no bridge over the Nujiang River in the past, many people crossed the river from there and traveled between the two banks.

Afterwards, the little bookworm walked towards the river, carrying a pile of heavy books.

Just as the little bookworm was about to cross the river, a voice called out to him, "Hey, young man, it's very dangerous for you to cross the river in such a hurry."

The little bookworm looked back at the person who came and smiled brightly: "Thank you for your reminder. Now, everywhere is dangerous? In comparison, the danger in the river is nothing. I think I saw you just now. Are you the brigade commander of those soldiers?"

"Yes, my name is Lu Cheng."

"Lu Cheng, this name seems familiar. Have you ever fought in Burma and saved foreigners?"

“I didn’t expect I was quite famous.”

"Of course you are famous. I heard that foreign newspapers praised you as a hero of the East."

"I can't say I'm a hero. I'm just fulfilling the responsibilities of a soldier. If you want to cross the river, I can take you there. Maybe I can also take you to find the person you want to find."

"Do you know those people?"

"We don't know each other now, but maybe we will know each other soon. We are all compatriots, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are all compatriots."

"Come on, I'll take you across the river."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng walked to a tree by the river, dug up the soil underneath, and pulled out a rope: "Although the river water here is relatively calm, it is still not safe to wade across the river like this. Let's hold the rope."

"How do you know there is a rope here? Have you crossed the river this way before?"

"Don't ask so many questions."

After successfully crossing the Nujiang River with the little bookworm and arriving on the other side, the little bookworm seemed very curious about Lu Cheng: "Brigade Commander Lu, can you tell me how you got to Burma to fight? Have you fought in many battles? Can you teach me how to fight?"

"Warfare is a very learned thing. It's not easier than studying. Don't ask too many questions."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng grabbed the little bookworm and hid in the woods nearby: "Don't make a sound. Don't you want to know how to fight? I'll show you."

Not long after, we heard a burst of Japanese conversation coming from the front, and two or three Japanese soldiers were walking towards this side while talking.

Seeing the Japanese approaching, the little bookworm immediately became nervous and quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make any sound for fear of disturbing Lu Cheng.

Just as the three Japanese soldiers approached the place where the two men were hiding, they saw Lu Cheng had taken out two sabers at some point, holding one in each hand, and swung them out casually. The two sabers accurately hit the throats of the two Japanese soldiers.

The third Japanese soldier realized something was wrong and wanted to pull the bolt of his gun and shoot at Lu Cheng.

However, before he could raise his gun, Lu Cheng had already flown over, snatched the rifle from his hand, and kicked the Japanese soldier away, causing him to hit a tree behind him and fall to the ground instantly.

Of course, Lu Cheng's kick was unreserved and powerful. When the Japanese soldier flew into the air, his internal organs were already ruptured, and he died on the spot after hitting the tree.

The little bookworm then came out from the bushes nearby and looked at the three Japanese corpses on the ground. He was a little scared, but also a little excited: "Captain Lu, you are really awesome."

Lu Cheng casually handed the Type 38 rifle in his hand to the little bookworm: "This is for you, a meeting gift."

"Thank you, thank you. Can I be your soldier?"
