Chapter 39 Everyone is equal before life
Pandong, Dadingzi Mountain.
Liu Cheng and Li Hongguang brought back a total of more than 200 people, and there was no place to arrange them for a while, so Yuan Desheng could only temporarily arrange them in a cave on the top of the mountain.
But for so many people, daily rations are a big problem.
Yuan Desheng had a headache for this.
The guerrillas had now grown to more than three hundred men and had been reorganized into four brigades.
If it hadn't been for the successful mobilization of a mortar company of the puppet army some time ago to revolt, bringing three mortars and some weapons and food, the guerrillas would probably have been cut off.
Now that so many ordinary people have come, even if the food in their hands is boiled in porridge, it will not last for a few days.
Yuan Desheng's worried brain hurts, but he still can't think of coming there to get food.
Liu Cheng is more worried than him.
He and Li Hongguang's two brigades did not close their eyes all night, and they walked in the snow all night, both hungry and sleepy, and even some soldiers who took off their cotton clothes to the people had multiple frostbites.
Liu Cheng also gave a padded jacket and gloves to a six- or seven-year-old child, and now both hands are swollen like carrots.
After frostbite, you can't wash it with hot water, and you must rub the affected area with snow first.
When Liu Cheng was rubbing the snow, he pretended to be relaxed and asked a middle-aged woman next to him who was also rubbing the snow on her hands:
"Auntie, is there a person named Liu Cunshu in your township?"
The moment he saw the woman nodding, Liu Cheng's heart jumped to his throat with a "sigh":
"So, where is he now?"
The woman shook her head and said:
"I don't know this, when the devil first came, he went to our township to recruit workers, saying that he wanted to build something, Liu Cunshu and his family went, originally they didn't want women, and the two begged for a long time before they agreed to leave his daughter-in-law to cook for those workers."
Liu Cheng suppressed the agitation in his heart and continued to ask:
"How old is this guy?"
The woman thought for a moment and said:
"Forty-something, right? I live quite far away from his family, and I don't know each other very well, but these two people have never had children, and the villagers always talk about it, and it is estimated that these two people also went to hide from Qingjing......"
The woman said a lot, but Liu Cheng didn't listen to a word.
In his previous life, when his parents died, he was still young, and he couldn't even remember what they looked like, but since the names and ages could match, he had to ask them in person anyway.
But it is not easy to find them, firstly, I don't know where they are now, and secondly, even if I do, it is not easy to rescue them.
Since the little devils recruit workers in this way, they must not want people to know what they are doing, and they will definitely restrict the freedom of movement of those workers.
If it was really something like building a secret base, those workers wouldn't be able to survive after it was completed.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Cheng's heart tingled.
Although he lived for a hundred years in his previous life, his memories of his parents were only so vague.
After being reborn, after discovering that the parents of this body were not the parents of his previous life, he also thought about trying to find them, but he never had the chance.
The main thing is that he never dared to think that they were still alive.
Even if there is a glimmer of hope now, he can't go to find it right away, in that case, it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to the team, and there may even be casualties, that kind of selfish thing Liu Cheng will not do at all.
Millions of people died in this war, and even if the couple were really his parents in his previous life, he could not use the power of the guerrillas to save people.
Everyone else can die, his parents can die, including himself.
Everyone is equal in the face of life.
The next day, Zhang Guanyi rushed to Dadingzi Mountain.
As soon as Yuan Desheng saw him, he immediately said with a bitter face:
"Oh, political commissar, you're back, come on, come on, hurry up and give me an idea!"
He told Zhang Guanyi exactly what had happened in the past two days, and also focused on the problem of food.
Zhang Guanyi didn't speak immediately after hearing this, and was silent for a while before he spoke:
"You just said that this battle was commanded by that little Liu Cheng?"
Yuan Desheng nodded stunned:
"That's right, don't say it, this kid really has a bit of a ghost idea, and a roll of his eyes is an idea, there is a second-rate son among these people, and he was slapped in the mouth by that kid...... No, commissar, I'm telling you about food! ”
Zhang Guan smiled and said:
"Have you forgotten the purpose of our guerrillas? What we don't have, the devils have, and the devil's is ours! ”
Yuan Desheng rolled his eyes helplessly and said:
"Of course I haven't forgotten, but now our strength is here, if we go to fight with the devil, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg!"
Zhang Guanyi put away his smile, looked at Yuan Desheng Zhengse, and said:
"Now it's not a question of whether we go to trouble the devils, I just got the news before I came back, the Nomura Command in Jilin City gave an order to all the Japanese puppet troops around the rock to encircle and suppress us, and last night's battle was just the beginning."
Yuan Desheng thought for a while and said:
"You mean, we're going to take advantage of this opportunity? But wouldn't that be too risky? ”
Zhang Guanyi sighed and said:
"There is no other way, we must use all the advantages we can use to deal with the devils, the team is full of local people, quite familiar with the terrain of this generation, we are not completely without a chance to win."
After a pause, he continued:
"We can't concentrate together, the brigades must act separately, and we can't let the devils concentrate their forces. That Liu Cheng asked him to take his brigade to the Huadian area. ”
Yuan Desheng's eyes widened instantly:
"Commissar, is this going to work? That Ono Taro is notoriously cunning, and Liu Cheng is only sixteen years old after all! ”
Zhang Guan smiled and nodded very affirmatively and said:
"Don't worry, this kid is far smarter than we thought, not only flexible, but also thoughtful, and most importantly, very decisive, he goes, it's Ono's turn to have a headache."
Although Yuan Desheng didn't say anything more, the three big words "don't believe" were clearly written on his face.
When Liu Cheng left Dadingzi Mountain, the number of people in the team had exceeded 90 people.
Although more than 30 guns were captured in the battle of Birch Grove, they did not all fall into Liu Cheng's hands, but were divided equally among the four brigades by Yuan Desheng.
Now among the four brigades, Liu Cheng's team has the largest number of people and the most weapons:
Sixty spears, sixteen shell guns, and before leaving, Yuan Desheng gave him a mortar and twenty shells.
This trip to Huadian will be the first real duel between Liu Cheng and Ono Taro......
