Seeing that Liu Cheng didn't speak, Duan Jinghe asked again:

"Battalion commander, what is this person doing? Do you want to try it yourself? ”

After a while, Liu Chengcai slowly shook his head:

"No need, let's kill it!"

"Huh?" Duan Jinghe was stunned.

This is not at all Liu Cheng's style.

In normal times, Liu Cheng would definitely choose to interrogate in detail without hesitation, until all the information of even a little bit of value was prying out of this person's mouth.

But now, he doesn't want to.

What's the point?

Even if he knew who it was, what could he do?

Kill with an independent battalion? Or organize an assassination squad to assassinate?

The reality is, he can't do anything.

Instead of laborious interrogation, it is better to kill it directly.

As for who is behind it.

Then love whoever you want.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, you killed me, count your ability, count me as incompetent; Otherwise, you can only endure it.

Although Duan Jinghe didn't understand why Liu Cheng suddenly changed his temper, he was used to not questioning Liu Cheng's decision.

At this point, no one believes in Liu Cheng's decision more than he does.

Before Duan Jinghe could turn around, Tang Zhenhu came again.

Looking at Tang Zhenhu's hurried figure, Liu Cheng couldn't help but scold:

Damn, what's going on today? Something happened again?

Looking at Tang Zhenhu, who was running towards him eagerly, Liu Cheng frowned and asked:

"What's wrong? Let the dog get rid of it? What to run? ”

At this time, Tang Zhenhu was already standing in front of him, gasping for breath and saying:

"There are four or five hundred victims outside the city and outside the city!"

At this time, Liu Cheng couldn't suppress the depression in his heart that had been suppressed all day, and he raised his leg with a kick:

"Are you so brainy? The little devil is so strict, where are the victims? ”

Tang Zhenhu jumped high after being kicked, waved his hand again and again, and said:

"No, no, company commander, those victims are from the grassland!"

"Oh?" Yue Fu was stunned when he heard this.

It stands to reason that in the entire northeast and some northern regions today, the number of little devils on the grassland can be less, and the lives of the common people can be more comfortable, how can there still be disaster victims?

And even if there is, you shouldn't run to Taolin, isn't this tantamount to suicide?

Besides, although life on the grassland is not easy, at least the danger to life is much smaller than that of Tao Lin, how can anyone flee here? Isn't this a jump from a fire pit to magma?

But...... Grassland!

They were nomads, born on horseback, and they were fierce and good at fighting.

In any case, their ancestors were the ones who once conquered most of Europe, and their iron cavalry was the only one who had trampled all of today's powers under their feet!

Could it be that this is an opportunity sent by God to Lao Tzu?

It's no wonder that Liu Cheng thinks so, because recruiting another group of teenagers from the grassland to be incorporated into the cavalry company has long been within his plan.

I planned to wait until the next time the army was expanded again, and then go to the grassland to recruit some soldiers, but I didn't expect to find someone myself.

As for the next expansion, Liu Cheng is naturally not a pipe dream when he thinks so.

It is impossible for the little devil to let him go like this, even if he is still staying in Chahar safely, it does not mean that he and the independent battalion are safe.

In other words, if he had no value, would Song Zheyuan keep them?

After all, in the context of this era, the words "things are done by people" have been vividly interpreted by interests.

Thinking of this, Liu Cheng said to Duan Jinghe on the side in a deep voice:

"Let someone cook right away, I'll go over and take a look first!"

After speaking, Liu Chengcheng walked out of the city with Tang Zhenhu, who was still grinning and rubbing his buttocks.

At this time, there was a mess in front of the city gate, and the agitated victims were clamoring to enter the city, and a dozen soldiers were holding guns, but they did not dare to really point their guns at them.

Because that's not an enemy, it's a compatriot.

Their agitation is also due to hunger and helplessness.

When a soldier saw Liu Cheng coming from afar, he immediately shouted:

"Don't make any noise, everyone, our battalion commander is here!"

Hearing this, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down.

Liu Cheng heard it and saw it.

I don't know why, there was some inexplicable sourness in his heart.

From a distance, those people were yellow-skinned and haggard, which was obviously a sign of long-term hunger.

They are excited, also because they are hungry, and they desperate for a full meal.

But when they heard the soldier shouting, "The battalion commander is here," they quickly quieted down.

Because they knew that the "battalion commander" in the soldier's mouth was the one who could decide whether they would stay or not, and even decide their fate.

In the face of a dozen heavily armed soldiers, if they wanted to break through, four or five hundred people could easily rush into the city.

Whether they were worried about the soldiers firing their guns, or whether they adhered to the most basic principles of being human beings, they didn't do that after all.

Liu Cheng strode forward, jumped onto a stone pier at the gate of the city, and said loudly:

"Fellow villagers, my name is Liu Cheng, and I am the commander of the garrison of this Taolin City, now, you send a representative out to tell me the specific situation;

Don't worry, the city is already cooking for you, and it will be delivered in a while, so you can wait patiently for a while! ”

After he said this, an old man in his sixties soon came out of the crowd, probably because of hunger, the old man walked tremblingly, and could only hold a wooden stick to prevent him from falling.

Liu Cheng jumped down, helped the old man to sit down on the stone pier, turned around and asked for the kettle from a soldier, unscrewed it, and handed it to the old man.

"Old man, drink saliva first and speak slowly."

The old man took the kettle, but did not bring it to his mouth, but poured it in the palm of his hand, drank two sips and handed it back to Liu Cheng.

Looking at the old man's movements, Liu Cheng's heart moved slightly.

In this case, if you can still maintain the basic etiquette, this old man will definitely not be an ordinary person.

But before the doubt in his heart could take shape, he was unraveled by the old man's words:

"Sir, my name is Ji Rentai, and I am their elder."

As the old man narrated, Liu Cheng quickly figured out the origin of these people.

They are all herdsmen, but they can also be regarded as villagers of a "village", and they have to migrate and graze together every year, and they can be regarded as taking care of each other, with more than 100 families and more than 600 people.

Three months earlier, a pair of Japanese soldiers had suddenly appeared near their grazing ground and had opened fire without saying a word, apparently intending to slaughter them all.

Fortunately, Ji Rentai was near the horse pen at that time, and opened the fence in time, so that the frightened horse temporarily stopped the little devil, otherwise, none of them would have been able to escape.

After that, people originally discussed and thought of Suiyuan for help, but at this time, the Japanese seemed to have begun a tentative attack.

Fearing the spread of the war, they had no choice but to turn into Chahar.

But the Chahar side is already too busy to take care of themselves, who has the ability to take them?
