When the meal was ready, Wei Chun'er served it diligently, and kept Sun Hongshan's family staying here for a night before leaving.

Shen Chen also meant this, and after thanking Wei Chun'er, he asked her to send her uncle's family to Wangjiawa tomorrow and live in Uncle Wang's house first.

"That's no problem, I haven't been to see my uncle and aunt for a long time." Wei Chun'er agreed with a smile, and asked Shen Chen again, "What about you, are you in a hurry to return to the army?" Why don't you stay overnight and go! ”

Shen Chen shook his head, "No, there will be action immediately, I have to go back quickly, I can't delay." ”

Wei Chun'er wanted to know what the action was, but she felt that it didn't seem good to inquire directly, so she said in a roundabout way: "Damei, when you finish eating, tell me about the war, I want to hear it." Also, you've got to point me out and shoot me. ”

Shen Chen nodded with a smile and said, "That's no problem." After eating, I'll go to the house to find you. ”

Wei Chun'er received a satisfactory answer, smiled and turned to leave.

Looking at the food, the aunt half leaned on the bed, rubbed her feet with her hands, and said with a bitter face: "I really can't support it today, and I won't eat the rice." ”

Sun Hongshan shook his head and said, "It's better to be tired of your legs than to be tired of your mouth." It's good to have some food and lie down and rest. ”

Shen Chen pulled up the confused little flower, teased for a while, the little flower was a little energetic, and her stomach was really hungry, so she served a bowl to eat.

The aunt also picked up the bowl, drank only porridge, and ate a piece of pickle.

Shen Chen doesn't care about good food, he has to mix it up first. He also knew that the people were poor, and Wei Chun'er was able to cook meals and make everyone full, which was already very trying.

After eating, Shen Chen asked everyone to rest first, he packed up the dishes and chopsticks, sent them to the stove room, and went to find Wei Chun'er.

The house was in a mess, Wei Chun'er's two younger brothers had cut the thorns, and the three sisters and brothers were sitting on a small bench weaving baskets.

There is not much work in the winter, and this basket weaving is also a progression. In addition to his own calling, he can also rush to the market to sell.

When Wei Chun'er saw Shen Chen coming in, she hurriedly stood up and said hello, and Wei Chun'er's mother also smiled and asked Shen Chen to sit on the kang.

Shen Chen felt very unhappy and occupied that house, could Wei Chun'er's family squeeze on this kang?

Hearing Shen Chen say this, Wei Chun'er laughed nonchalantly and said, "How can you think of it, my two brothers can't squeeze in someone's house for a night, and there is no trouble at all, so you can rest assured." ”

Chun'er Niang pulled Shen Chen to look at it, and said fondly: "I ran around in the guerrillas, but I didn't see thinness, I seem to be taller, and my face looks better and better." ”

Shen Chen grinned and said, "Eat enough, sleep enough, and grow meat if you don't have heart and lungs!" ”

Wei Chun'er brought a bowl of hot water and said with a smile: "It's so easy to say, it's like carrying a gun to fight is a joke." ”

"Yes, the fights and killings of the daughter's family are all forced by this world!" Chun'er Niang sighed and asked, "I heard Chun'er say that your uncle's family has moved over, and you don't have to worry about it." Although this side is a little poorer and more miserable, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Japanese, but it can still survive. ”

Shen Chen nodded yes and said, "That's why I took the trouble to move my uncle's family here." In the future, please take care of them. ”

"So what's there to say?" Chun'er Niang nodded vigorously and said: "From now on, I will be a fellow villager, if you want me to say, it's okay to live in this village." ”

Shen Chen said with a smile: "Let's live in Wangjiawa, and talk to the uncle and aunt, as well as Juzi." If they change their hexagrams, they should not be happy. ”

Wei Chun'er said: "Although Wang Jiawa is small, it is more peaceful than our village. Last time, the Imperial Association Army came to spoil it, and Wang Jiawa was fine. ”

Shen Chen nodded yes, which was also the reason why he insisted on moving his uncle's family to Wangjiawa. In this world, remote places are poorer and more miserable, but safe.

And as long as you can live a peaceful life, it is very satisfying to be hungry.

After chatting for a while, Shen Chen's sleepiness came up. Wei Chun'er saw it, and found an excuse to send the two younger brothers out, opened the futon, and let Shen Chen sleep and rest.

Shen Chen was a little embarrassed, but he was not pretentious. took out a few yuan from his pocket, asked Wei Chun'er to buy some delicious food, and rushed back overnight after dinner.

Wei Chun'er pushed a few times, and also wanted to let Shen Chen have a good meal before leaving, but the family was poor, so he accepted it.

Shen Chen was lying on the kang, his body was warm and comfortable, and he didn't need to be vigilant about any movement, his heart was wide, and he quickly fell asleep.

Wei Chun'er walked around the village and bought two chickens, a dozen eggs, and a few catties of white* noodles. These things are good in the mountain villages, but next to the mountains, there are still dried mushrooms.

When she returned home, Wei Chun'er boiled water and plucked her feathers and stewed the chicken into the pot.

Shen Chen slept for three or four hours, and woke up before it was dark. After eating, I was leaving, and I still had some things to explain to my uncle and aunt.

When they came to the house, Xiaohua, Erdan, and Stinky Zi were still asleep, but the uncle and aunt were leaning on the cover and talking in a low voice.

Shen Chen came in and sat down, and explained clearly the money he had saved at Uncle Wang's house and how he would live in the future.

The uncle and aunt knew that Shen Chen was going to leave after eating, and he didn't know when he would see him again. It wasn't until the sound of the conversation woke the child up that it was over.

Shen Chen talked to his younger brothers and sisters for a while, and after a while, Wei Chun'er came over and said that he was going to eat.

A large pot full of chicken stewed mushrooms was served, white * noodles were pancakes, and Wei Chun'er also brought the boiled eggs to Shen Chen.

Shen Chen went to the stove room and took a basin, divided half of it, and brought it to Wei Chun'er's family to eat.

The food is good, the children are also eating well, and Shen Chen is also eating happily, only the uncle and aunt can't eat it, and they always look at Shen Chen, as if they can rest assured by taking a second look.

After eating and resting for a while, Shen Chen began to clean up, his body was neat, and it was dark.

"Alas, it's not afraid to walk alone at night!" The aunt helped Shen Chen get dressed, and said with a sigh.

Shen Chen said with a smile: "There are no sentry posts of devils and traitors here, but there are many militia guards on the road, what is there to fear." ”

Sun Hongshan looked at his niece dressed neatly, and was about to leave, he sighed again and again, telling him to be careful outside, and go home to have a look when he has time.

Shen Chen happily agreed, smiling easily, so that his family didn't have to be too sad in this way.

"Alright." Shen Chen put the big gun on his back, glanced at his body, raised his head and smiled: "I'm leaving, you are all worried." Maybe I'll be back during the Chinese New Year, so let's have a lively New Year. ”

The aunt's hand slowly fell from Shen Chen's body, with tears in her eyes and her lips open, but she couldn't say anything.

Shen Chen said goodbye to his family one by one with a smile, pushed the door out, and said as he walked: "You don't need to send it, I don't like this, as if I can't come back." ”

"What nonsense is this kid." The aunt's voice was a little choked, but she walked out of the house with her husband.

As soon as there was a knock on the door, Wei Chun'er walked out, also dressed neatly and carrying a spear. It seems that she has been waiting for Shen Chen for a long time and is ready to send him.

Shen Chen stopped at the gate of the courtyard, asked his uncle and aunt to go back, pointed at Wei Chun'er, and said with a smile: "If she sends me, I have to whisper for a while, so don't follow." ”

"Be careful outside!"

"I'll be back when I have time."

"Okay, okay, you can rest assured!" Shen Chen said, he had already turned around and strode out of the courtyard, and he didn't look back, just waved his hand.

………………

How relaxing do you feel!?

Shen Chen's steps were brisk, and he walked forward along the road, but he thought about it for a long time in his heart.

Taking care of the family and relatives, this is the advantage of the Chinese people, but when the war is coming, only caring about the small family and thinking only about the family has become a rope tied around the neck.

Shen Chen's heart was actually very conflicted, and he was also a little ashamed. Although he felt that this was a shortcoming, he couldn't completely break free from such a fetter when he asked himself.

And now he is free and uninhibited, firstly because he is not really Damei, and secondly, because he knows that he will not have real death.

People are ruthless, and if there is affection, there is concern. Of course, it may also be possible to strengthen this sentiment, so that these honest people can rise up to resist, shed blood, and fight for the sake of their small families and their families.

Right next to him, are there still few such people?

Shen Chen smiled bitterly, cheered up, took a big stride, and ran into the distance.

Although he knew that if he delayed for a day or two, he might not miss anything, but Shen Chen still had his own feelings and a sense of responsibility.

It's not that he lacks the arrogance that he can't do, but that with him, he can have the consciousness and confidence that he can die less.

Walking on the land of the base area, Shen Chen could find that compared to when he first arrived before, his vigilance ability and level had been greatly improved.

Obviously, the growth of the guerrillas also led to the development of the militia. Don't underestimate those broken guns, with them, the people will be bold and the people's hearts will be stable.

Looking at it this way, it was really a wise move for him to move his uncle's family over. Moreover, he also felt that killing and fighting were more valuable. Because, behind him are his relatives, his friends, and his fellow villagers who are good to him.

In the middle of the night, Shen Chen came to a temporary rest point, just on the edge of the mountain forest, probably the largest one.

What was a little surprising was that not only a few team members he brought here, but Lao Zhou also rushed over.

As soon as Shen Chen arrived, someone went to call Lao Zhou and woke him up from his sleep. In such a hurry, it is obvious that there is something important, or intelligence.

"Wow, your beard grows!" As soon as they met, Shen Chen joked, "I'll go back and tell Team Zhao, and let him call you uncle in the future." ”

Lao Zhou laughed and said: "That's what you think, aren't you always called Brother Tie, let him pretend to be young, I will be his uncle." ”

Shen Chen laughed twice, and he didn't care about this kind of joke.

Everyone calls each other, Lao Zhou and Sun Hongshan call them brothers, and it is no problem for him to call him uncle; As for Zhao Tie, Shen Chen called his mother aunt, and it was not wrong to call him brother.

After the joke, Lao Zhou's words got to the point, "This anti-sweeping struggle is nearing its end." By all accounts, the enemy is retreating. It was then necessary for the guerrillas to concentrate and wait for an opportunity to act, and to cooperate with the regular forces in order to achieve a greater victory. ”

During the Anti-Japanese War, mainly before Gangcun Ningji took over the command of North China, the sweep of the devils did not have much impact due to tactical problems and did not last long.

The problem on the part of the Japanese invaders was that they were not familiar with the road environment because they were fighting in the base areas, and it was difficult to reorganize reconnaissance and take new offensive actions after losing their main targets. Fatigue and a drop in morale can also occur after successive marches and operations (constantly harassed).

More importantly, the Japanese combat units themselves had limited ammunition and food and grass. The people in the base areas "ran back" and cleared the fields, making it difficult for them to obtain enough supplies to sustain the war on the spot.

Relying on the rear for the delivery of materials, under the transportation and road conditions at that time, the transport team was very easy to become the target of the anti-Japanese army and civilians. Sending a certain number of troops to cover is again faced with the dilemma of weakening the attacking force.

Therefore, the large-scale "sweeps" in the early days of the Japanese invaders were basically aimed at a quick battle, and once the target of the attack could not be captured in a short period of time, they would end withdrawing.

Shen Chen blinked his eyes and said, "You mean 'I will chase after the enemy retreats', let Team Zhao pull the squad back and strike at the retreating enemy?" ”

Lao Zhou nodded and said, "I think so, but I don't know much about the situation on your side, and if you have the opportunity to fight the enemy, you don't have to lose the opportunity." ”

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "Recently, there is a big plan of action, if it can be completed in three or five days, and then rush back in the starry night, will it not delay anything?" ”

Lao Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, if you can't complete the operation within three days, then pull it back as soon as possible." ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell Team Zhao and let him decide." ”

After a pause, Shen Chen said again: "Actually, if you want me to say, it is the same wherever you strike at the enemy. If you can really make a name for yourself on the railroad and stop the devil's attempt to obtain military coal, the results and impact will be great. Isn't it? ”

Lao Zhou lowered his eyelids and thought carefully, the truth was right, he had worked hard for this task before. If it's really possible, it's not impossible to relax some time.

"Well, the time can be a little more relaxed, six days." Lao Zhou had already thought about it, and finally made a decision, "Here, I will see if we can gather the militia and cooperate with the guerrillas." ”

Shen Chen advised: "Neither the guerrillas nor the militia can stop the enemy's movement head-on, and it is safer to use mines. Anyway, the enemy is retreating, and it is unlikely that he will pursue it exhaustively, or retaliate deeply. ”

Lao Zhou smiled and bowed his head, expressing his acceptance, and then diverted the topic and asked about the situation of Sun Hongshan's family.

"Temporarily settle in Wangjiawa, and then build a house when spring begins." Shen Chen said briefly: "In the future, my uncle's family will be under your jurisdiction, but you have to take care of it!" ”

"Needless to say." Lao Zhou agreed happily, and asked again: "I heard that your uncle was a blacksmith before digging charcoal, if you want to make a living from it, it's not bad!" ”

Shen Chen thought about it, and had a rare impression, but he hadn't seen his uncle do it, so he said uncertainly: "I don't remember very clearly, when the time comes, ask him if he is willing to do iron." ”
