In Tujia Village, every family wears filial piety, every household hangs flags, and the low crying of whimpering is endless.......

After the battle of the He family, Ding Zhuang who came out to help in Tujia Village only came back seven or eight, everyone was injured and hung with colors, two of them could only spend the rest of their lives on the bed in this life, and the others did not have three or five months of careful care, and they were afraid that they would not be able to recover their original figures.

returned to the Eighth Route Army in Tujia Village, the situation was even more serious, even the martial arts team members of Qingle and Gongnan counties were counted, and only fifty or sixty people came back after the full fight, and more than half of them were still colored. After Li Jiashun came to his senses on the way back to Tujia Village, he only glanced at the only remaining brothers around him, and a mouthful of blood spurted out on the spot......

After settling down the wounded, Yang Chao, who was already so tired that his mouth was full of boils, stared at a pair of eyes that were boiling red, and said in a hoarse voice to a political cadre standing beside him: "The wounded are almost settled down, and the comrades who are on guard must also hurry up and rotate, otherwise the iron-beaten man will not be able to support it!" How's going on with Commander Lee? ”

was also so tired that his body shook, and the political cadre standing next to Yang Chao responded: "After vomiting blood, I fainted again, I had a high fever under my eyes, and I was talking nonsense!" Fortunately, Mr. Han gave him a patch of medicine to pour it down, I just saw it, Commander Li fell asleep, should it be okay? ”

"How many cadres do we have that we can use? At this time, it is up to the cadres to hold the team and appease the people! ”

"There is only one political work cadre assigned to the Southern Hebei Military Sub-district left with you and me. One of the two cadres of the enemy's engineering department has already been sent to Qingle County to find out the situation. Plus two cadres of the Ordnance Department...... In the base area of the Southern Hebei Military Division, just four cadres can still stand and talk, and they are so busy that they are almost unable to touch the ground! Yang Chao, this battle ...... It was a terrible fight! ”

Sighing slightly, Yang Chao's gaze unconsciously looked in the direction of the He family's big set: "Fortunately, those retreating folks...... The devil still left more than 100 people on the blocking position behind the He family's big gathering, if it weren't for the more than 1,000 villagers who risked their lives and stabbed the devil in the back, we wouldn't have been able to come back - the casualties of the villagers have all settled down? ”

"The wounded were basically recovered, but the bodies of the villagers who died in the battle were ...... At that time, I really couldn't take care of it, so I could only wait for the situation to improve in a few days, and then find a way to collect the remains of those villagers! Hundreds of folks who died in battle...... Just rushed towards the devil's machine gun with his bare hands, and he was stunned to fill in a way for us to survive with hundreds of lives! ”

"There are hundreds of villagers from other places in Tujia Village, and they can temporarily build some shacks to make do with the place where they live, but the food will soon be insufficient, and we have to find a way to transport grain from other villages that can take out surplus food. Fortunately, Tujia Village originally produced medicinal materials, otherwise these wounded people would ...... Before the grain arrived, the cadres had a thin meal a day, and the soldiers had a dry food every day, and it was necessary to ensure that the villagers and the wounded had something to eat, and they must not be allowed to go hungry. Especially the wounded, it is necessary to focus on taking care of them! ”

"Several villages near Tujia Village have been plagued by devils, or the villages are too small to find any surplus food. The nearest ...... that may have some surplus food There is only one Dawu Village left! Why don't we send someone to Dawu Village to have a look? ”

Furrowing suddenly, Yang Chao turned his head to look at a thatched hut not far from him: "Speaking of Dawu Village...... Mo Tianliu and Sha Bangqu, and in case of a ring, are they still staying in that room? ”

Sighing and nodding, the political cadre standing next to Yang Chao said in a low voice: "Since returning to Tujia Village, the three of them have never left that house. It was all a day and a night's work, and I saw Shabang quench it and fetch some water and clean linen cloth into it....... Oh, I came out to ask our comrades in the old army for a set of military uniforms, and I guess they are preparing to collect the body of Captain Li! Returning to Tujia Village from Hejia Daji, Sha Bangqu vomited blood all the way, and refused to ask someone to come back with Captain Li on his back, and no one listened to him! And that Mo Tianliu...... There is something wrong with the eyes, and everyone looks like a wolf! Yang Chao, nothing will happen, right? ”

Without waiting for Yang Chao to answer, Mo Tianliu and the others suddenly walked out of the thatched hut where the remains of the chestnut group were housed. Seeing that Sha Bangqu once again carried the body of the chestnut group on his body with a chair, Yang Chao hurriedly greeted him: "What are you going to ......?"

After a day and a night of not seeing anyone, Mo Tianliu's eyes were deeply sunken into his sockets, and his eyeballs were no longer as smart and abnormal as usual. looked at Yang Chao standing in front of him in a daze, and Mo Tian stayed for a while before he said in a hoarse voice: "Let's take the big boss home...... Commander Li is about to wake up, so tell him that we will come back when we are done! ”

Looking at Mo Tianliu with some surprise, Yang Chao subconsciously asked in a low voice, "Go home?" Where to go? ”

Looking at Yang Chao's eyes with some muna, Mo Tianliu finally squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "Go back to Dawu Village...... Back to Chawanzhai! The Qingle County Martial Arts Team was run from Dawu Village by the big boss, and I have to take the big boss back......"

Opening his mouth, Yang Chao hesitated for a moment before he whispered to Mo Tianliu, "Go back...... That's good! Comrade Mo Tianliu, you have also seen the current situation, it is really ...... We need food to settle the villagers, can we .......?"

Without answering Yang Chao's question, Mo Tianliu was still stunned for a while, before striding towards the mountain road leading from Tujia Village to Dawu Village. And behind Mo Tianliu, Sha Bangqu, who was carrying the remains of the chestnut group, also followed behind Mo Tianliu......

Before Mo Tianliu and the others walked out of the entrance of Tujia Village, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army who was guarding outside Tujia Village had already rushed to Mo Tianliu and the others, almost straightening his neck and shouting: "Go quickly...... Go and help......"

Shocked, Yang Chao, who was standing not far behind Mo Tianliu, subconsciously pulled out the twenty-shot pistol on his waist: "The devil is here?!" ”

Shaking his head vigorously, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who rushed all the way took a few heavy breaths, and then shouted at the people who were looking at him: "It's not a devil...... It's Dawu Village...... Ding Zhuang from Dawu Village has come a lot, and he still brings food! I heard Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who was walking in front, say that Mrs. Jiang is also here, and she is still ...... I also brought a mouthful of longevity! ”

The originally dull eyes flashed suddenly, and Mo Tianliu suddenly looked up at the Eighth Route Army soldier who rushed to report the news: "Taigong is also here?" And brought a mouth of shoucai?! ”

"Yes! The heavy snow is about to close the mountain road, and the villagers of Dawu Village are stunned to drive a road in the snow, and they are still carrying so much food, it is really difficult for them! Listening to Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who opened the way, no one could persuade Mrs. Jiang, the old man had to run this trip himself, and he was walking in the middle of the team in a sedan chair right now, and he was afraid that he would be able to reach the ......

At the end of the words, a sedan chair carried by four strong men had already swayed to the entrance of Tujia Village. With the gentle greeting of the housekeeper walking by the sedan chair, four strong men who were sweating profusely carefully put the sedan chair on the flat ground at the entrance of the village. And on the mountain road not far behind the sedan chair, Ding Zhuang in Dawu Village, who was pushing a wheelbarrow or carrying a heavy burden, also silently rushed towards the entrance of Tujia Village......

Even if she was wrapped in a thick quilt all over her body, but after walking such a long mountain road in a sedan chair with ventilation on all sides, Mrs. Jiang was already numb from the cold, and her beard was covered with heavy frost. Trembling and being helped out of the sedan chair by the housekeeper, Mrs. Jiang moved her hands and feet slightly, and then raised her hand towards Yang Chao and the others who rushed to meet her: "It's too late, please ...... it."

Before Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, Yang Chao had already quickly saluted Mrs. Jiang, and hurriedly held Mrs. Jiang's arm with both hands: "Mrs. Jiang, in such a cold weather and such a long mountain road, you ...... It's really hard work! Hurry up to the house and warm up......"

nodded to Yang Chao very kindly, but the old lady Jiang was not in a hurry to enter the house, but asked Yang Chao in a harmonious voice: "Your Excellency is a face?" Dare to ask......"

"Yang Chao! I have just been assigned to the Southern Hebei Military Division by my superiors, and I haven't had time to take any position, so I encountered this vicious battle with the devil! At present, Commander Li is seriously ill, and Captain Li ...... sacrifices, and many cadres have also sacrificed, and I am in charge of these things in the Tujia Village base for the time being. ”

After looking Yang Chao up and down a few times, Mrs. Jiang twisted her beard and responded: "It's terrifying!" There is medicine in this Tujia Village, and Mr. Han treats the injured, and the old decay will not overstep his responsibilities, and it will be extraordinarily troublesome. It's just that after the war, the wounded and sick of the Eighth Route Army must need food and straw to support them, so the old man made his own decision and brought some food to him, and hoped that the Eighth Route Army would reward him! ”

didn't wait for Yang Chao to speak, but the old lady Jiang turned her head to look at a beautiful longevity material that was carried by more than a dozen strong men on the mountain road: "The Eighth Route Army fought a bloody battle with the Japanese invaders in Hejia Daji, although the old man lived in the mountains, he also heard of it. Knowing that Captain Li had unfortunately died, the old man took the liberty of transporting the longevity materials that the old man had prepared for a hundred years, so that Captain Li could be buried in the ground......"

Just glanced at the exquisite longevity material, Yang Chao was already shocked.......

Northland customs, the old people have the habit of preparing longevity materials for a hundred years later, some poor families are already poor and can't open the pot, but they don't dare to take the longevity materials prepared by the old people for themselves to exchange for some food to survive, for fear that the old people will not be able to enter the soil after a hundred years, and future generations will be poked in the backbone for a lifetime!

Considering the depth of the wording with some hesitation, Yang Chao snorted at the old lady Jiang and said: "Old lady Jiang, your thoughts, our Eighth Route Army is naturally the leader, but this is ...... It's so valuable......"

With a slight wave of her hand, Old Lady Jiang sighed softly: "Captain Li is willing to kill himself, how can the old man be reluctant to do that vain thing a hundred years later?" The matter ...... Say no more! ”
