Chapter 26: Liu Ben's determination to become a true soldier

  Liu Ben's heart skipped a beat when he found out that Long Xing was seriously injured.

  At this time, he also forgot about his own legs and quickly ran to Long Xing's side, supporting him.

  When Liu Ben saw Long Xing's injuries, he looked at his own legs and made a silent decision.

  "This is the soldier in his heart, this is a true soldier. Even if he receives a fatal injury, he still stands upright and doesn't let himself fall down. I must stand at attention."

  Long Xing's actions shocked Liu Ben, whose body was covered in knife wounds that had already been treated and had formed light scabs, but as Long Xing moved, the wounds were torn open and blood flowed out.

  "Heh heh, Liu Benshi is thinking about something, don't hold onto me. If I'm held by you and return to the base, how much face would I lose? Would I still be a real soldier?"

  Long Zhongtian smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, but in Liu Ben's ears, every word was pounding his soul.

  "Squad leader, what do you think is a true soldier? How did someone like you grow up?"

  At first, the camp where I was located was captured by Long Xing alone. Although I was not convinced at that time, I deeply admired him. Seeing today's Long Xing, I still feel a sense of awe and respect.

  "Liu Ben Shi, you have the qualifications to become an excellent soldier, but you are not a real soldier yet. A true soldier is forged through tempering, growing up under that kind of hellish training. On the battlefield, a soldier must die on the charge, cannot be shot in the back, this is the shame of a warrior. As long as you're not dead, you must stand up."

  Long Xing's impression of Liu Ben Si was not bad, at the beginning, the whole camp only had Liu Ben Si who made him put in some effort, and it was that day that he valued him in his heart, he liked this kind of soldier who never gives up.

  When Liu Ben heard Long Xing's words, his blood was ignited, and the excitement in his heart could not be expressed. At this moment, he had never been so determined.

  "Alright, let me go. If I fall on my way back, you carry me back. He said it before, the six words 'do not abandon, do not give up' will forever be remembered in a soldier's heart."

  Long Xing shook off Liu Ben's supporting arm and walked forward step by step.

  Liu Ben was taken aback, looking at the straight-standing, step-by-step advancing dragon line: "He, isn't he an instructor? What does 'don't abandon, don't give up' mean?"

  At this moment, Liu Ben noticed the gun on Long Xing's back: "Isn't that the rifle wrapped by Instructor Bao?"

  "What's wrong, can't you even walk faster than me with this injury?"

  As Long Xing advanced forward, Liu Ben's voice was faintly heard, his tone carrying an unyieldingly serious undertone.

  Liu Benshi immediately caught up with Long Xing: "No, Captain, I was just thinking about a problem."

  "Ah, good, being able to think for yourself means you're making progress and becoming a true soldier one step at a time. What's the problem, I'll see if I can help."

  "Who is he in your mouth?" Liu Ben was looking forward to seeing Long Xing.

  Feeling Liu Ben Shi's gaze, Long Xing's mouth corners slightly curled up: "He is exactly Long Zhong Tian, and I am his first trained warrior. You know, at that time, I was already going to become a team leader, but Long Zhong Tian was still young. However, I saw something in him that made me unable to resist the temptation."

  The scene at that time appeared in Long's mind.

  "What? Do you regret it, Captain?"

  Liu Benshi asked doubtfully, wanting to know what kind of answer Long Xing would give.

  Long Xing looked at Liu Ben Shi and smiled: "No regrets, if it weren't for him, I would only be an ordinary squad leader, leading ordinary soldiers to fight wars. Now that I think about it, that's a very boring thing."

  "Hmm, yeah, ordinary soldiers, which one can take down a whole regiment by themselves? Think about leading such soldiers, don't even mention a regiment, just give me a squad and it's enough to make a whole regiment drunk."

  "Heh, maybe, although I'm the captain now, it's only temporary. The real captain is Long Zhongtian. My own abilities are clear to myself, and compared to him, I can only be a squad leader under his command, just a squad leader of a hundred-man unit."

  Long Xing wore a bitter smile, knowing in his heart that he was more than enough to be just an ordinary soldier and company commander, and this point Long Zhongtian also understood very clearly.

  "Is it a hundred-man unit of warriors like you?"

  Liu Ben's eyes widened, if it was such a troop, what's the difference between this and a division commander?

  "Not bad, if you also want to, then strive on, don't abandon, don't give up, it's a must-have will for a soldier, apart from this, these six words also contain many more."

  At this moment, Long Xing has already regarded Liu Ben Shi as a future comrade-in-arms. He also believes that Liu Ben Shi, the machine gunner battalion commander, can do it and become an excellent instructor.

  "Is it true that you and the commander are really going to establish a legion, one consisting of over a thousand soldiers like you?"

  At this moment, Liu Ben's shocked heart almost stopped beating.

  "Not bad, isn't it time for us to form our own independent team now? I think soon we will have our own turf."

  Long Xing's eyes sparkled with a hint of light, as if he had seen the moment when the Independent Regiment matured into a powerful army, a special forces unit that made enemies tremble.

  Long Zhongtian led the warriors and had gone very far, Long Xing and Liu Benshi had fallen behind, in the two men's line of sight, they could no longer see the figures of Long Zhongtian and his group.

  At this moment, Long Zhongtian stopped in his tracks and looked towards the direction of the warehouse: "Dragon's Walk, I'm waiting for you."

  He rushed to the side of the warriors, took a deep breath into his chest cavity, and let out a loud roar from his throat: "Target the 15th Brigade's garrison, charge at the fastest speed."

  Japan, this small island, this small country is swelling with ambition.

  The Japanese cabinet is now in a state of fury, the Japanese prime minister's face turned pale, bowing his head to endure the scolding of the Emperor of Japan: "China, third-party forces, the Long Family Army doesn't even put Great Japan in their eyes. Long Ba and Matsuda and Yamamoto, one is a royal relative, the other two are ministers, they all died in China Province. This is a great shame for Japan."

  "Yes!"

  The Japanese minister was sweating profusely on his face and hanging his head low.

  "Eleven high-ranking ninjas, dozens of the Empire's finest warriors, all slaughtered by one man, a dragon warrior. Are the Empire's warriors and ninjas nothing but sheep?"

  The voice of the Japanese emperor is not very loud, sounds calm, but in the calmness there is a low growl.

  "No, Your Majesty, it's not the incompetence of the Imperial Warriors. There exists a great presence in China. Before Long Xing, wasn't there Chen Zhen? His martial arts skills were unmatched in Japan, yet he still died at our hands."

  Japan's left shoulder rises to prove Japan's strength.

  "Is that so? Isn't Chen's death a shame for the great Japanese warriors? It seems that the plan to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere still needs to be reconsidered."

  The Japanese Emperor walked out of the cabinet with a cold hum.

  After the Japanese Emperor left, the Japanese Prime Minister clenched his fists: "Baka, all of them are useless."

  At the same time, another plan was slowly taking shape in the mind of Japan's Minister of the Left.

  March 1st, 1930 at noon.

  Long Zhongtian had led the warriors to the entrance of the Fifteenth Brigade's barracks for two hours.

  At this moment, he is standing at attention, waiting for the arrival of Long Xing, and Zhong Tian is anxiously waiting.

  Although there are all sorts of worries, due to his trust in Long Xing, he must wait. Only when Long Xing returns here will everything go smoothly.

  At this moment, Long Xing, who was on his way, had already seen the shadow of the 15th Regiment's barracks from a distance.

  At this time his body was extremely exhausted and he could collapse at any moment.

  Liu Ben saw the extent of Long Xing's suffering at this moment, if it were himself, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago, waiting for death to arrive.

  "What kind of warrior is this? What kind of training can achieve this?"

  At this moment, Liu Ben's performance in Long Xing made him tremble with fear and awe for the team leader, while the image of that young man, the instructor, appeared in his mind, and his whole body was afraid.

  He wanted to retreat, but the unyielding spirit in his heart also filled him with anticipation.

  Liu Ben's heart was in a state of anxiety, after a while following Long Xing to walk to the side of Long Zhongtian, seeing Long Zhongtian at that moment, Long Xing suddenly fell down and was caught by Liu Ben.

  Liu Ben Shi caught Long Xing at the same time, and tears had already flowed out of Liu Ben Shi's eyes. Looking at Long Zhong Tian and the warriors, he hugged Long Xing in his arms and couldn't bear to cry out loud, shouting loudly in his crying voice.

  "Is this what it means to be a soldier, to suffer injuries that could be fatal, to endure physical and mental torture with every step? Is this what it means to be a warrior, to stand upright until the very last moment, and to stand tall?"

  With a thud, Liu Ben Shi, who was holding Long Xing, knelt on the ground.

  Liu Ben's loud roar and cry echoed in Long Zhongtian's heart, echoing in the hearts of every warrior.

  At this time, the warriors saw that the captain's injuries had reached a certain level. They also saw that it was Long Xing who came before them without anyone to support him.

  Tears welled up in the warriors' eyes, while Long Zhongtian's heart was bleeding, and his eye sockets were already moist: "Get up, my soldiers don't kneel."

  Liu Ben Shi heard this sentence, although the tone was very calm, but also felt the meaning of this sentence, Liu Ben Shi stood up.

  "Report!"

  At this moment, Long Xiaoting was already in tears. At the moment when Long Xing fell down, she wanted to rush over to check his injury and treat him in time.

  Long Zhongtian didn't say anything. He listened to Long Shaoting's report and slightly closed his eyes, his hand lightly raised. This meant that Long Shaoting understood: "Go!"

  Long Shaoting quickly ran to Long Xing's side, checked the injury: "This wound is fatal, needs immediate treatment. Although there is no life danger now, just fainted, if not treated, won't make it till tomorrow."

  Long Shaoting examined Long Xing's injuries and then looked at Long Zhongtian.
