With the capture of the Jinling Presidential Palace by the Japanese army, the defense of Jinling, which lasted less than a month, came to an end. Neither of the warring sides stopped arranging their troops and began to prepare for the next round of confrontations.

It's just that compared with the Jinling defense battle in Hu Biao's memory, although the national army still lost in the Jinling defense battle this time, the main force that could withdraw from Jinling to defend the city was much more than in memory. These troops will become the main force of the War of Resistance in the future.

Even if most of the people who were rushed to the battlefield earlier were new soldiers, after such a cruel and bloody battle, those who survived learned how to survive on the battlefield. The difference between a recruit and a veteran often means the difference between life and death.

When he came to Jinling before, Hu Biao was accompanied by a platoon of guards. When he left Jinling this time, Hu Biao had only one sniper squad by his side and three non-combatants who left the city with him. But for the memory of Jinling, everyone will never forget.

Considering that the Japanese army had already taken control of the counties around Jinling, Hu Biao, who was preparing to return to Anhua Mountain, did not choose to take the main road. After a night of continuous marching, Hu Biao found that the three doctors and Lin Yashi who left the city with the troops seemed to be a little unbearable.

Looking at the time on his watch, he found that it was not far from dawn, so Hu Biao said, "Old Qin, go to the front and find a valley to prepare to camp and rest." It's almost dawn, let's rest and scout before we go! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Not long after continuing to march, he finally came to a barren mountain with a low sea, and confirmed that there were no people near the barren mountain, and Hu Biao and his party also hurried into the mountain to prepare for rest. At this time, Hu Biao remembered to find something to eat for everyone.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Lao Qin, you are watching here, I'll go take a look around and get something else to eat!" Boil some water first and let everyone soak their feet. After dawn, we'll take a look around the neighborhood to see what's going on around the area. ”

"Good! But is there anything to eat in this place? It doesn't seem like there's anyone! ”

"It's okay! Come out with me, will I still starve you? Just stay honest! ”

Listening to what Hu Biao said, remembering that in the past, when he marched in the field, Hu Biao would always find food like a trick, and Qin Tianyou also smiled and didn't say anything more. He instructed the team to clean up a clean camp, then set up a tent and followed him to find water.

Hu Biao, who left the team for a while and returned to the camp again, already had a few more bloody rabbits in his hands. The team members who were boiling water saw the rabbit brought by Hu Biao, and said with a smile: "I have meat to eat again today!" ”

As for how Hu Biao found the hare, these team members will not ask. They only knew that when marching in the field with Hu Biao, they didn't have to worry about starving at all. In some cases, you can even eat game to improve your life.

Throwing the hare to the team members, Hu Biao said with a smile: "Hurry up and clean up, and braise all these rabbit meat before dawn." Simmer the rice we brought, wait for dawn and then go to the neighborhood to find something to eat, and we'll have a good meal today! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

In fact, in such a short period of time, it is impossible for Hu Biao to hunt so many rabbits. After all, these game meats were caught in the mountains and stored in carry-on spaces. What you put in the space is the same as when you put it in.

So much so that the rabbits came out of the space and looked no different from the ones they had just been killed. The problem was that none of the people who had been in the makeshift camp had heard the gunshots. So how did Hu Biao get these hares?

Curiosity is curiosity, but those team members didn't ask, and the two doctors who evacuated Jinling with them and Lin Yashi naturally didn't talk much. Staying in the secret passage and eating biscuits and sticks every day, they are indeed a little sick to their stomachs.

Now that they can finally eat hot rice and meat, how can they refuse, it's too late to be happy!

Compared with the days of staying in the secret passage, the people who left Jinling and came to the wilderness now seem to be in a much more cheerful mood. Around the two marching pots that had been set up on the fire, everyone began to get busy.

Taking advantage of this time, Hu Biao looked at the people in the camp and found that Lin Yashi, who was marching with the troops, seemed to have a painful expression. Her hands touched her feet from time to time, as if there was some discomfort in her feet, which made her seem so painful.

Seeing the embroidered cloth shoes on the other party's feet, I thought that although I walked slowly at night, I had walked more than ten kilometers anyway. In addition, the road she walked was not smooth, and it is estimated that Lin Yashi, who has never walked for such a long time, should have blistered soles of her feet.

Hu Biao, who was a recruit in his previous life and had tasted the blistering taste of the soles of his feet on forced marches, knew very well what it was like to be soaked in sweat. Thinking of this possibility, Hu Biao immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Lin, are you okay?" ”

Hearing Hu Biao's inquiry, Lin Yashi, who was actually so painful that she wanted to cry, gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, sir, I'm fine!" ”

"Is there blistering on the soles of your feet?"

In the face of Hu Biao's straightforward inquiry, Lin Yashi's originally painful face was flushed with a hint of red rhyme, as if she didn't expect Hu Biao to expose her embarrassing things. Walking to the soles of her feet blistered, Lin Yashi felt very ashamed.

Compared to other soldiers who carried guns, ammunition and packages, she only had a small cloth bag with her, which did not weigh much at all. But the other warriors were walking like flying, and she was embarrassed to shout to rest, so she could only grit her teeth and follow everyone to the present.

Looking at Lin Yashi's shy and anxious expression, Hu Biao continued: "You can hold on until now, you are already very powerful. It's normal for the soles of your feet to blister, and I'm too negligent to forget that you and the two doctors have no military training.

Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to make you a basin of hot water, soak your feet first, and then puncture the blisters with a needle, don't tear the skin, or you won't be able to walk the rest of the way. I'll get you some more alcohol to disinfect, that will be more comfortable! ”

"Thank you, sir, I can hold on!"

From Hu Biao's words, Lin Yashi could feel the other party's concern, but she still felt embarrassed. In her opinion, letting Hu Biao care so much also adds a burden to the team, which will make her feel guilty.

"Alright, anyway, you took care of me in the secret passage earlier. Although you are not a soldier, our brothers in the Dead Soldier Battalion owe you a favor. As their commander, I have a duty and obligation to take care of you.

Blisters on the soles of the feet must be dealt with as soon as possible, and the longer the delay, the more difficult it will be to recover later. I heard that you have learned nursing, then you should know that blisters are not treated cleanly, and it is easy to cause infection on the soles of your feet. Wait! ”

Hu Biao, who was talking, ignored Lin Yashi's somewhat embarrassed and shy expression, and walked straight to everyone who was busy preparing breakfast. I found a copper washbasin and brought a basin of hot water to the tent that had been set up.

Knowing that Lin Yashi is a girl's family, taking off her shoes and washing her feet in front of everyone is probably unbearable. Now bring the foot-washing water into the tent, so as to avoid the eyes of everyone. This kind of carefulness also touched Lin Yashi.

The team members who also saw this scene suddenly smiled evilly and said, "Squad leader, does the captain have a crush on that girl?" ”

"What's the matter with you? The captain is not young anymore, even if he asks for a daughter-in-law, what's the problem? That girl is too thin, I'm afraid it's not good to give birth. However, the long one is quite Peugeot, and the ration captain is barely enough! ”

In Qin Tianyou's opinion, Hu Biao, who has already become a lieutenant colonel, is actually nothing if he marries a wife and has a baby. In these years, the people have paid attention to the principle that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. And Hu Biao is undoubtedly alone.

If he had a family and a family background, maybe Hu Biao would not be so impulsive when he went to the battlefield in the future!

For many soldiers in this era, the hot kang head of their wives and children is also their ultimate dream. But many times, some rich and powerful officers often have three wives and four concubines, but many big-headed soldiers do not dare to marry a daughter-in-law at all.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is often the power of an officer!

Even the Eighth Route Army, which was far away in the north to resist the war, also had clear regulations on this matter, that is, the so-called '258th Regiment' standard, which must be 25 years old, eight years of party or military experience, and a regiment-level cadre can apply for marriage.

Regarding the ridicule of his subordinates, Hu Biao didn't pay much attention to it. Although Hu Biao in his previous life had been in love, he had never considered getting married. Even if he later switched from a mercenary to collecting intelligence, Hu Biao acted more on the spot, and he never considered getting married.

Because Hu Biao always knew that whether he was a mercenary or later a commercial espionage, it was a high-risk profession. If you are not careful, you may be sacrificed in the mission at any time. And now his situation is even more dangerous than in his previous life.

He is not even sure how long he will live, how can Hu Biao give others hope and a future? If one day, he died on the front line, leaving behind orphans and widows, how can they survive in such troubled times?

Taking care of Lin Yashi is more out of kindness, and Lin Yashi's courage of 'women don't let her eyebrows' still make Hu Biao appreciate it very much. Not that girl dared to break into the war zone alone, and dared to take care of the wounded who had just been withdrawn from the battlefield.

After making water and putting it into the tent, Hu Biao walked up to Lin Yashi and said, "The water is ready, you go to the tent to soak your feet, and the towels are also prepared for you." I'll get you some more alcohol, and you can't wear these shoes, so I'll find you another pair of shoes!" ”

"Well, thank you, sir!"

For some reason, in the face of Hu Biao's domineering concern at the moment, Lin Yashi had a kind of shyness about the deer in her heart. Even in front of others, she behaved very strongly. But as a girl, she is still very soft in her heart.

Because of the war, the originally carefree rich daughter was instantly reduced to a homeless refugee. Even if there are relatives, these relatives are not in sight. Hu Biao's concern really warmed Lin Yashi's heart.

Looking at Lin Yashi, who walked into the tent with a blushing face, she didn't think about this kind of care, Hu Biao, who was easy to misunderstand and even admire the girl, carefully found medical alcohol and cotton swabs for the girl, as well as a pair of small-sized Japanese military leather boots.

Looking at the girl who soaked her slender legs in the basin, Hu Biao didn't stay in the tent for long. Even if he has been on the battlefield for a long time in his previous life, he can witness such a tempting scene, and his still young body still can't help but feel uneasy!
