Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops withdrawing, Li Mingrui gave a thumbs up and said: "Sir Yang, I really have you." [.Com text] Although the brothers have suffered some crimes these days, it is better than dying. The Japanese still haven't found out after all.
We were hiding right under their noses."
After saying that, Li Mingrui stood up and said: "Brothers, let's go out and get some food. I haven't eaten anything in the past three days except a few strips of raw chicken, but the brothers are all starving. Let's eat some later."
Things, recover, recover your strength, we should also find the main force."
Yang Zhen, who was leaning against the stone wall and seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed, ignored him when Li Mingrui was talking. But when he stood up and was about to walk out with his brothers, Yang Zhen suddenly said: "Stop, no one can
Don’t go out.”
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, the few people who were about to follow Li Mingrui were stunned. Li Mingrui, who was leading the way, couldn't help but turn around and said: "Sir Yang, the Japs are all gone. These brothers should also get some food to recover."
For the past three days, the brothers have been relying on that little water and raw chicken. If we don’t get some food, the brothers won’t be able to bear it anymore.”
"The Japanese troops have withdrawn, but they have not withdrawn completely. There should still be Japanese ambushes nearby. As soon as we went out, we fell into the Japanese's trick of luring the snake out of its hole. Brothers, hold on for one more day and we will talk tomorrow."
Yang Zhen's words made Li Mingrui stunned for a moment: "No way? Just now you saw with your own eyes that the Japanese had clearly withdrawn, but there were still people left there? Chief Yang, are you a little too nervous?"
"Sir Yang, even if we are not in a hurry to find the main force, what do you smell like in this cave now? In the past few days, everyone has been crowded in this small cave. They even urinate and defecate in such a palm-sized place.
No one can stand the smell. Is this smell still a place for people to stay?"
"Do you know how many people the Japs have come this time? How do you know that the Japs withdrawing outside are all the troops mobilized by the Japs this time? Do you really think that the Japs will give up and think that we have left after they have achieved nothing in the past three days? Don't think so
The Japanese think too simply. Since the Japanese have determined that we are nearby, they will not give up easily."
"The Japs have mobilized so many troops this time. It is very common for them to leave some of their troops to continue to monitor this area when they withdraw. I have an intuition that the Japs will definitely leave some of their troops here and hide them near us.
. Just hold on for one day and we’ll talk tomorrow.” After that, Yang Zhen closed his eyes again and stopped talking.
Looking at Yang Zhen who closed his eyes and stopped talking, Zhang Ting next to him, who was hungry and weak because he refused to eat raw meat, said: "Sir Yang, you can't make a decision based on intuition. Your brothers have been relying on this for three days.
After holding on to the meat of two pheasants, my body is already very weak and in urgent need of nutritional supplements. It is already difficult to continue."
"Also, the wounded man's wound has not been cleaned since he was injured. That officer Li just said that if you smell the smell in this cave, if you stay here, your brothers may get sick."
"The herbs collected by brother Liu Sigou have been used up, and you need to continue to use medicine on your wounds. The most important thing is that there is only half a pot of water left. If we continue, we will really starve to death and thirst.
Die, die trapped here."
"No, if I say you can't move now, you can't move. Since you've been holding on for three days, this day is not enough. Even if you die of hunger or thirst, that will happen in the future. If you go out now, you will die faster."
"Mingrui, no matter what you have done before, one thing I remind you is that you are a soldier now and must obey orders. You have survived the most difficult time, can't you persevere on the last day?"
At this point, Yang Zhen sighed and said: "If we can't hold on, can the Japs hold on? Don't forget, why can we attract so much attention from the Japs? It's been three days, and we haven't gotten it yet.
The desired result. I think for the Japanese, their Kwantung Army headquarters will put more pressure on them."
"You are hungry, and I am hungry. You are thirsty, and I am thirsty. You think the smell here is unpleasant, don't I think so? But our current situation is like hitting an egg against a stone. It is difficult for us to hold on. The devils are squeezing us up and down.
Can we persist? Do you really think that the Japanese are really determined to idle a large number of troops here? If you believe me, just wait all night and we will see the result tomorrow."
Having said that, Yang Zhen closed his eyes and said nothing. Intuition, yes, intuition. Today, watching the Japanese and puppet troops retreating down the mountain, Yang Zhen suddenly felt that something was not normal. Although he did not know what the Japanese were going to do this time.
No matter how many troops they had, Yang Zhen always felt that the Japanese evacuation was a bit strange.
Yang Zhen always feels that the Japanese will not give up so easily where there are such obvious clues. The Japanese are meticulous in doing things and their endurance is quite famous in later generations. Compared with endurance, I am afraid that no nation in the world can compare with the Japanese.
This time, they only evacuated after only three days of raiding. With no worries about logistics, an absolute advantage in military strength, and no major incidents, this style of conduct is not like the Japanese style. It is just weird.
There, he couldn't say anything for a while.
Looking at Yang Zhen who closed his eyes and stopped talking, more than a dozen brothers who had already stood up and were about to go out hesitated for a moment. After all, they did not go out and sat back down. Just as Yang Zhen said, he had already endured three days.
We came here and it was not too late. Although everyone was already so hungry that they could not stand it, they all obeyed the order out of trust in Yang Zhen.
When it was approaching noon the next day, Li Mingrui saw through the telescope that on the opposite mountain, a squadron of Japanese soldiers came down from the top of the mountain where he was. He cursed the little devil in his heart for being cunning and at the same time couldn't help but sigh at Yang Zhen's sense of smell.
sensitive.
"Chief Yang, you still have the ability. This little devil really set up an ambush for us to take the bait. If it weren't for you, if we went down the mountain, we would be dead. We just don't have enough people to fill the gap between the devil's teeth.
"
Yang Zhen ignored him and carefully observed the movements at the foot of the mountain and the surrounding hills. After watching the Japs at the foot of the mountain walk away, he said: "Tell the brothers that you can come out now. Also, how many people are you taking with you?"
Go out and get something to eat. Don’t shoot, and try not to come into contact with outsiders. No matter who appears, you should avoid it.”
"In addition, today, apart from eating some raw meat for the first two days, brothers have not eaten much for four days. Their bodies are already extremely weak. No one else has the strength to go out and look for food except you."
Hearing Yang Zhen's instructions, Li Mingrui put down the telescope in his hand, nodded and said: "Catching pheasants and rabbits without making any noise is what I started out with. When I was learning martial arts from my master in the temple, I was disgusted by eating vegetarian food.
To get some meat, we just have to go out and get some wild animals."
Yang Zhen didn't look at him. He just nodded and said, "Just try your best. It doesn't matter if you don't get any voles. The most important thing now is for the brothers to fill their stomachs. After eating, don't be anxious and let the brothers take care of themselves."
Let’s take a rest and start again in the evening.”
Although the surrounding mountains are not high, they have dense vegetation and few people. It is really a good place. In summer, the mountains and forests in the northeast not only provide Yang Zhen and others with a reliable hiding place, but also provide them with abundant food.
source.
Li Mingrui, who followed the order and left, lived up to Yang Zhen's high expectations. He only went there for a short time and brought back a few extremely fat rabbits, a few snakes that were not too small, and a bunch of mushrooms. It was a pity that,
This guy really couldn't tell the difference between the mushrooms in the Northeast. Only half of the mushrooms he brought back were edible. The rest were poisonous mushrooms.
But something is much better than nothing. With these things and Yang Zhenqiang digging a lot of edible wild vegetables around, it was finally enough for everyone to have a meal.
Yang Zhen stopped everyone from having a hearty meal, and just asked people to use rabbit meat, snake meat and mushrooms to make a soup full of several steel helmets. Yang Zhen knew that people who have been hungry for a long time can eat too much in one go.
Not only can things not save lives, they can actually harm people.
Although there was no salt and the broth was very fishy, the hungry people did not make too many choices. The broth was quickly eaten cleanly. When the broth was cooked, Yang Zhen did not
He ate first, but first fed Zhang Ting, who was hungry and couldn't even stand up, let alone eat.
Looking at this woman who was devouring her food so voraciously that she almost ate all the Japanese-style lunch boxes in her hands, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "You are a woman who looks like a pampered young lady from a rich family. What can't you eat raw meat? As long as you can survive.
, what’s the point of drinking the blood of Mao Ru from time to time? What’s the point of using gold instead of making a living?”
Zhang Ting, who felt energetic after having food in her stomach, heard Yang Zhen's words and said, "Do you think everyone is like you and can eat anything, whether it is raw or cooked? This raw meat is bloody.
If you don’t tell me, it’s not hygienic.”
"You haven't really been hungry yet. You will know when you are really hungry. Sometimes being able to have some raw meat to eat is the greatest blessing. For hygiene and other things, when necessary
Everything has to give way to survival. With life, everything else comes into being. If life is gone, how can we talk about hygiene?"
Regarding Zhang Ting's words, Yang Zhen shook his head and seemed disapproving. This woman had not truly realized what a survival crisis was before she said these words. If she had really been hungry all year round, she would not think so.
After all, she was a woman. After eating something to gain strength, the first thing Zhang Ting did was unexpected. After smelling the strong odor on her body, this woman actually did
One thing is to run upstream to the river, to a corner of the mountain where no one can see it, and clean myself.
Looking at Zhang Ting's running back, Yang Zhen smiled silently and had to guard her personally. Fortunately, he had just managed to put some food into his stomach, and none of the brothers who had not fully recovered at the moment had gotten up.
To peep out of lust.
However, after smelling the same smell on his body, Yang Zhen had no choice but to laugh at Zhang Ting's actions. Let alone a little girl, even a man like himself couldn't stand it.
Yang Zhen, who smelled the unbearable odor on his body and was afraid of spreading the disease, had no choice but to order everyone to clean up after setting up a warning.
After four days of suffocation in a small cave, even urination and defecation could only be done in the cave. In addition, it was summer, so you can imagine the smell of these brothers. If they didn't clean it, they would
Even I can't stand the smell.
It's just that everyone is wearing the same clothes, and no one has clean clothes to change. Everyone can only take turns to wash and dry the clothes. Fortunately, the sun in the mountains is strong enough, and there is a bonfire lit when doing things.
, the whole cleaning didn’t take much time.
Seeing the brothers jumping into the river to clean themselves, Yang Zhen called to Li Mingrui and said: "Find a few people to break some branches, grass and other things to clean the cave. The location of this cave is very secret.
It's also very good. We can use it to store ammunition and supplies when necessary in the future."
"Okay, I'll call a few brothers to go up and clean it up. It's easy to do, just use a helmet to fill it with water and rinse it. Our brothers are not as particular as that girl, most of them are dug out of the soil.
, I’m not unfamiliar with those things.”
Yang Zhen nodded, looked at the surrounding environment again and said: "You have to move quickly, and those things that have been cleaned up must be carefully buried. After a while, the brothers will finish cleaning, and they will also do it here, and try to leave nothing behind."
trace."
"Urge your brothers to move quickly. This is not a place to stay for a long time. I just thought about it, don't wait for it to get dark. After the Japanese escape in other directions, maybe they will come back when? You'll be over there in a while.
When we're done, we'll retreat. Tell the brothers that we're not far from Daqingdingzi Mountain, and we'll have a good rest there."
At this point, Yang Zhen glanced at Li Mingrui and explained: "When we march later, you will take one person with you to be the vanguard. Remember to walk along the ridge and not the ravine when walking. You can't do it just because the Japanese have evacuated."
Relax and be prepared to encounter the enemy at any time."
After listening to Yang Zhen's instructions, Li Mingrui nodded and said: "Don't worry, Sir Yang, I will definitely be more careful. But what about your injury? Should I make a stretcher for you and let the brothers take turns carrying you? And that one
Zhang Ting, are you really going to take her with you? Our team is full of men, is it inconvenient for you to take such a woman with you?"
In response to Li Mingrui's concern about his injury, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "I'm not old enough to lift anything. It's just a penetrating injury, but it doesn't affect walking. The brothers are all weak now, and marching in the mountains is already strenuous enough.
If you carry a big living person like me, how can you still walk?"
"As for Zhang Ting, I don't know how to deal with it now. She and Lao Peng are both members of the Anti-League, so there shouldn't be any big problems. We also lack a doctor in the team, and she is studying medicine. Let's go first.
Take it with you."
After that, Yang Zhen took out the map and handed it to Li Mingrui along with the telescope and said: "Be more careful and pay attention to safety. We don't have the capital to fight against the Japanese right now."
Li Mingrui took the telescope, shook his head at the map and said awkwardly: "Mr. Yang, you should keep the map. I can't understand it. Not to mention that the words on the map are all Japanese characters."
"You don't know the map? You have been a guard by Lao Guo for so long and you don't know the map. Are you kidding me? If you don't know the map, how will you lead the troops in war in the future? If you don't know how to use it, teach me."
Earlier, this guy said that he didn't know the map. Yang Zhen thought he was making excuses for him to deal with Zhang Ting. Then he realized that he really didn't know the map.
"Chief Yang, when I was rescued from prison by Chief Guo, I never thought about becoming an officer. To be honest, I don't have a good impression of the Sichuan Army. My parents were killed by artillery shells during the Battle of Erliu.
I became a soldier simply because I wanted to repay Commander Guo for saving his life. I never thought about anything else, let alone working for those warlords."
"Chief Guo has also mentioned several times that he wants me to learn something. It is not a long-term solution to stay with him. In the end, I still want someone from a certain background, but I have refused. Those warlords have imposed exorbitant amounts of money and only care about expanding their own armies and fighting civil wars.
Fighting for territory. The life and death of the people are nothing in their eyes, and I will not sacrifice my life for them."
At this point, Li Mingrui smiled bitterly and said: "Besides, I am neither a Pao brother, nor a graduate of the Sichuan Army Military Academy, nor a direct descendant of that officer, nor am I someone who has read foreign ink like Chief Guo. In the eyes of some people
In my eyes, he is just a thief, and he has been ostracized in the army. Besides, Commander Guo is just a staff officer without power, and I don’t want him to be in too much trouble."
Regarding Li Mingrui's words, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "The civil war before has returned to civil war, and now the entire nation is defending its territory and resisting. I don't care why you joined the army, but you are now a soldier."
"As an officer, identifying maps is the most basic skill. If you don't know maps, how will you lead troops to fight against foreign enemies in the future? You don't want to just be a soldier all the time.
