"Lao Hong, how long have you guerrillas been in this mountainous area?" Xu Zilin asked.

Lao Hong said: "It has been three or four months, since the beginning of winter, we have been hiding in this forest, before the devil and the puppet army chased closely, I and Shanzi combined, the more dangerous the place, the safer, there are a lot of mountains in this area, the devil and the puppet army have also been encircled and suppressed here before, and the two of us are hiding here with the team." ”

"How did you solve the problem of food?"

Lao Hong smiled bitterly: "How can it be solved?" Whatever they encountered, the local village was burned clean by the devils and the puppet army, and the villagers were forcibly relocated and settled by them.

We have a little manpower, and when we are lucky, we meet a few lonely devils and puppet soldiers to grab some food and equipment.

But most of the time, there is no chance to start.

After the winter, there is less to eat, and in the past month, everyone has relied on the roots of the trees to cook soup and drink to hold on to the present. ”

When the soldiers of the Far Eastern Regiment heard this, they were in awe.

It is not easy for the veterans of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and they are still persevering in such a difficult day.

Political Commissar Xu Zilin was engaged in ideological work, and in order to encourage all the soldiers of the Far East Regiment, he then asked: "Lao Hong, life is so difficult, haven't you ever thought of giving up?" ”

"Political commissar, what are you talking about, no matter how hard it is, we have never thought of giving up, besides, what is giving up? Isn't it just a dog-legged traitor for the devil and the puppet army!

What we old guys hate most is a traitor, even if we die, we will never be traitors. ”

Liu Qingshan said: "The devils and the puppet army also lured us to surrender, but there were indeed many traitors in the team before, and the devils and the puppet army not only killed them, but also gave them good treatment."

But if we have a clear conscience and live by betraying our comrades, just to beg for food, it is better to kill us.

These hateful invaders have occupied our land and killed our compatriots, so can we still treat them as dogs in order to survive? It's better to be alive than dead. ”

"Well said."

Xu Zilin applauded, and all the fighters applauded.

"Comrades, everyone has heard it, even in such a harsh environment, our veterans of the Anti-Japanese Federation have never thought of giving up.

This is the quality and persistence that a real soldier should have.

Battalion Commander Sun said a sentence before, and I still keep it in mind, he said, the devils have all come to our doorstep, who are not on us who are soldiers?

Do you want to learn from those spineless cowards and retreat step by step, until all the great mountains and rivers are buried?

Of course not, we must unite and condense our strength into a rope, comrades, the united Chinese, there is absolutely no force that can defeat them. ”

The applause thundered again.

Han Feng looked around, and the soldiers' eyes became more and more determined.

Not only did he sigh in his heart, Lao Xu was really a good material for doing politics, and he didn't forget to inspire people at this time.

Everyone waited in the snow for about two hours, but they still didn't see Sun Qian'er and Lao Luo return as Lao Hong said.

Han Feng subconsciously became vigilant, "Lao Hong, why haven't those two members of your team returned yet?" ”

Lao Hong was also a little anxious, but he didn't think much about it, "Commander, the mountain road is not close, and they may be walking slower." ”

"Maybe, but what I have to be responsible for is the safety of the thousands of brothers in the whole regiment, but any possible crisis cannot be ignored, monk, let the reconnaissance platoon increase the scope of investigation, send the guard platoon out, and the whole regiment is ready to evacuate at any time."

"Yes." The monk turned around and went to prepare.

Lao Hong hurriedly said: "Regiment leader, are you worried that Lao Luo and the two of them will become traitors?" ”

"I know you believe Lao Luo, but just in case, if the devil uses the two of them to follow and touch, it's not impossible.

The team is not going to stay too long, Lao Hong, you don't know the situation, we went all the way north, and we have long been targeted by the 91st Brigade of the Kwantung Army, this team is led by the old devil of Saburo Yamamoto, but it is not easy to deal with.

If we show a little flaw, he can even take the lives of our entire group.

So we can't wait too long, at most another hour, and if the two of you haven't returned, you can leave some of your men behind, and the army must continue north. ”

"Yes, Commander, I understand that." Lao Hong responded.

Meanwhile.

Outside the city of Yanshou County, two ragged figures were crawling motionless behind hidden bushes, and not far away, the Manchurian army was guarding the city gate.

"Lao Luo, I'm afraid we'll run in vain this time, the surrounding villages have long been burned down by devils and puppet soldiers, and the only place where we can find food is probably in the county seat, but we are like this now, and we can't get in at all." Sun Qian'er said helplessly.

Lao Luo sighed and said, "It seems that there is no way, let's prepare to return and report the situation to the captain!" ”

Sun Qian'er said: "Return? I still have to go hungry when I go back, and it's been a month, and we all rely on boiling some root soup to survive, and we can't hold on like this at all. ”

Lao Luo was upset and said, "Then you say, what should we do?" ”

Sun Qian'er seemed to hesitate for a moment, then looked at Lao Luo with sincere eyes and asked, "Lao Luo, let me ask you, what is the current situation of our anti-Japanese team?" ”

"This ......"

Lao Luo had to shake his head, "The situation is very bad, after the implementation of the blockade of the devil's puppet army over the years, our living space is getting smaller and smaller, coupled with the encirclement and suppression of a large number of crusade teams, the eleven armies of the Anti-Japanese Alliance back then, I don't know how many people are left now!" ”

Sun Qian'er sighed: "Let's put it this way, let's resist the United Nations, now we are basically wiped out, the news of General Zhao's death came a few days ago, I heard that the main force of our North Manchurian army has long gone to the Soviet Union to avoid the limelight, that is, we didn't keep up with the team and were left here." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lao Luo was not a fool, and soon sensed Sun Qian'er's intentions.

Sun Qian'er said: "Lao Luo, I haven't known you for a day or two, let me tell you the truth, it's not that I don't want to insist, I just feel that it makes no sense to persevere, and I can't see any hope at all." ”

"So what?"

"Let's go into the city together, just don't know the captain and them, and find a way to get a job."

"Fuck you, I understand, you kid wants to be a traitor, right?" Lao Luo was furious, with raised eyebrows.

"Lao Luo, don't say such ugly things on your dog day, if you don't go down the mountain, all of us will be starved to death and frozen to death.

Rather than this, Lao Tzu would rather go to the little devil. ”

"Paralyzed, you traitor, you dare!" Lao Luo pulled the bolt of the gun sharply, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed against Sun Qian'er's head.

His eyes widened, and he made a gesture that he was going to shoot at any moment......
