"Alert!"

Li Yunlong's voice was pressed to the lowest and he greeted.

More than 20 members of the grain collection team quickly took out the Wang Ba box pinned to their waists and leaned down.

Li Yunlong's movements have already alarmed the people who are busy in the sweet potato field.

Before Li Yunlong could ask, a leader on the other side stood up straight, "Fellow villagers, we are from Yangjiagou, which ditch are you from?" ”

Li Yunlong was stunned.

The people who secretly dig sweet potatoes also have the courage to take the initiative to say hello.

However, listening to this accent and tone, there doesn't seem to be any malice, it shouldn't be a Japanese soldier.

"We are from the assault company of the Eighth Route Army, you are fellow villagers in Yangjiagou, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Li Yunlong basically saw clearly at this time that except for the leader, a guy with a somewhat thin figure and a box cannon pinned to his waist, the others only had farm tools such as a three-toothed rake in their hands, and there would be no threat at all.

Hearing that it was the Eighth Route Army, a man who was helping to shave sweet potatoes, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

"It's good if it's the Eighth Route Army!"

The thin young man led by him patted the soil on his hands and stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "Hello comrade, my name is Mao Xiaolong, I am from Yang Jiagou!" ”

"I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the assault company of the Martial Arts Engineer Regiment behind the enemy, good fellow!"

Li Yunlong also hurriedly greeted and shook hands.

"How did you come up with the idea of coming here to dig sweet potatoes? This is the territory of the little devils, and you don't have any weapons on you, once the little devils find out, it will be dangerous! ”

Li Yunlong looked at the mountains of sweet potatoes behind the gang and couldn't help but remind.

Mao Xiaolong smiled bitterly, "Comrade Company Commander, we also know that this matter is dangerous, but my fellow villagers want to eat, and it is about to enter winter, if you don't have anything to eat and drink, how can you survive this winter!" ”

Li Yunlong was a little curious about the men in front of him, it seemed a little unusual.

Mao Xiaolong sighed.

Mao Xiaolong and these men are all from Yangjiagou, but half a year ago, Yangjiagou was swept by the little devils once, and the whole village was slaughtered. But by the time they returned to the village, all their relatives in the village were gone.

In the past six months, Mao Xiaolong has led a group of villagers to hide in the mountains to pick wild fruits, fight wild beasts to survive, and occasionally come out to dig some sweet potatoes and get some food, just to avoid starving to death.

"Where are you Yangjiagou? Don't you have a land where you can grow food? Even the terraced fields in the ravines can grow food for the winter, right? ”

Li Yunlong couldn't help but ask.

Mao Xiaolong smiled bitterly and pointed to the crop field in front of him, "Comrade Company Commander, this land is our Yangjiagou land, the land we have cultivated for generations has been occupied by those little devils, we have to eat some food, and we have to be sneaky." ”

"Special mother, these little devils really should be killed, Comrade Mao Xiaolong, don't worry, Lao Tzu will give you a word, I will never let these little devils stay here this winter!"

Li Yunlong was very angry, angry not only for the unscrupulousness of the Japanese soldiers, but also for the Japanese puppet army who helped the Japanese soldiers to do this kind of forcible occupation of land.

The number of Japanese soldiers was not large, and it was impossible for them to personally participate in this kind of forcible occupation of land.

The only thing that can be determined is that the puppet army of the Japanese State attached to the Fujiwara United Army borrowed the name of the Japanese soldiers to enrich their own pockets and harm the people.

"Then I will thank you for those relatives who died in Yangjiagou!"

With tears on his face, Mao Xiaolong bowed deeply to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Comrade Xiaolong, you can't do this, Lao Tzu is the Eighth Road, an army that serves the people, and protecting our people is the task of our Eighth Route Army, and it is also the responsibility of our Eighth Route Army." ”

"Uh-huh!"

Of course, Mao Xiaolong knew that the Eighth Route Army was the best for the common people, otherwise he would not have relaxed his vigilance as soon as he heard Li Yunlong say that he was the Eighth Route Army.

Glancing at the pile of sweet potatoes behind Mao Xiaolong and them again, Li Yunlong finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "By the way, Comrade Xiaolong, I'm a little curious, since you are preparing food for the winter, why don't you peel buds and cut ears of grain, that thing is affordable, nutritious and high, and you can still carry it when you eat it." ”

Li Yunlong asked this question, and Mao Xiaolong laughed a little shyly.

"When I brought the villagers over, I originally wanted to cut some ears of grain and go back, but when I saw a figure shaking in the grain field, we didn't dare to come over to see it, and then I thought about it, if there were too many ears of grain, I would go back and pile it in the cave and it would be moldy, and the moldy grain would be eaten and killed."

"So you got the idea of sweet potatoes?"

"Yes, I just thought, anyway, I live in a cave, how many sweet potatoes will not be broken, although the sweet potatoes are not very carryable, but they can also satisfy hunger, when the time comes, get some game or something, how can you deal with it in a winter."

"You live in a cave now? And what about in the village? ”

At the mention of the village, Mao Xiaolong's face couldn't help but show a strong sense of grief and indignation, "Our village has been bulldozed by little devils, our relatives are gone, and now we don't want to go back to the village." When will we kill the little devil and take revenge, and then bring the little devil's head back and go to the grave of the villagers to pay tribute! ”

When Mao Xiaolong said these words, Li Yunlong's mind came alive.

Li Yunlong looked at Mao Xiaolong, and suddenly said, "Comrade Xiaolong, why don't you also participate in the Eighth Road and follow Lao Tzu to fight devils!" ”

Mao Xiaolong obviously didn't expect Li Yunlong to say this.

"We've been thinking about how to kill the devil and avenge the villagers! But what you just said, we ......."

Li Yunlong patted Mao Xiaolong on the shoulder, "Comrade Xiaolong, you think about it, if you want, follow Lao Tzu to fight devils." Now I am forming an assault company according to the order of our regiment commander, and if you agree, I can now report your joining the Eighth Route Army to the regiment commander. ”

"Really? Can we really join the Eighth Route Army? ”

Mao Xiaolong couldn't believe that this fact was true.

Li Yunlong laughed, "You ask these guys around you, when does Lao Tzu talk and don't count?" ”

"That's right, our Company Commander Li is a sincere person, and he never counts when he speaks, if you want to, hurry up, we are still in a hurry to harvest sweet potatoes!"

Mao Xiaolong was a little biased by this guy's words, "You have all collected so many buds and ears of grain, why are you still grabbing sweet potatoes from us?" ”

"We have eaten meat all day, according to the words of our company commander, eating meat alone is easy to spoil the stomach, and eating some sweet potatoes can make the stomach better!"

"You can eat meat all day?"

Mao Xiaolong's eyes flashed with dazzling light.
