At dawn, the city gate of Zhongmu County was opened, and Xiao Kurihara Shaozuo led a team of exhausted cavalry into the city, followed by Cai Kaile, Yang Zongman and others, and the entire team, including the horses, was wrapped in a thick layer of silt, as if wearing a layer of heavy armor.

"How's it going, is there any food?"

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, did you bring back food?"

As soon as the team entered the city, a large group of Japanese soldiers rushed over, staring at each other, hunger made these Japanese soldiers almost crazy, last night as soon as they heard that the food team came from Kaifeng, there may be food today, many Japanese soldiers who got the news were excited and did not sleep, and looked at the city gate early.

"Of course there is food, thanks to Young Master Chen of the Kaifeng Chen family!"

Xiao Kurihara laughed, patted the grain on the horse's back and said: "Although a lot of it was robbed by the Shina rout, there are still more than 1,000 catties left, which can let us eat a few more bites in the past two days!" ”

"Hahaha, that's just great!"

"You drop, great drop of good people, great drop of conscience"

A cadre of Japanese soldiers was ecstatic when they heard this, and they thundered with joy, and many Japanese soldiers patted Cai Kaile, Yang Zongman and others on the shoulders affectionately, and gave a thumbs up fiercely to show their praise, more than 1,000 catties of grain for nearly 20,000 Japanese troops, which is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, but even if it is a little more food, plus the Japanese army itself searched for a part of it, and the fighter planes airdropped a part, for the Japanese army, it is not without a small supplement, at least in terms of stabilizing the morale of the army, the effect is extremely significant.

"Being able to serve the imperial army is the blessing of my Chen family, and it is my Chen Feilong, what a great honor!" Cai Kaile said with a flattered face.

Yang Zongman and a group of soldiers also nodded, showing a flattered look, and the Japanese soldiers who watched laughed and told them not to be afraid.

The Japanese army has now gradually felt that it is absolutely impossible to conquer China by killing alone, but will provoke a stronger resistance, so the Japanese military headquarters on the one hand carried out a frenzied attack on the army on the battlefield and wantonly slaughtered, and at the same time carried out a policy of softness on the part of the people, trying to divide and win over.

Therefore, for Cai Kaile and others who pretended to be people from the Chen family and risked their lives to send food, these Japanese soldiers were still very kind and friendly.

"Come on, carry the food to the house and add a meal to the soldiers!"

Xiao Kurihara shouted, there were happy Japanese soldiers who came to carry food, and Japanese soldiers came over, took away the weapons in the hands of Cai Kaile, Yang Zongman and others, and asked them to take them to rest.

"You guys, stay here, don't run around without orders, otherwise you'll die!"

A group of people were taken into the second floor of a house and settled down, and the soldier who led the way, Cao Wala, gave instructions for a while, closed the door and left, and two Japanese soldiers with guns guarded the door.

The door was not locked, and it was clear that the Japanese soldiers still trusted the Shina people who brought them food.

"Two of you guard the door!"

Yang Zongman looked at the movement outside the door through the crack in the door, and the two Japanese soldiers guarding the door were stretching their necks and sniffing sharply in the direction of the rising cooking smoke, looking hungry and unbearable, and did not pay attention to the situation inside the door at all, so they lowered their voices and shouted.

The two soldiers nodded and looked at the wind, and the rest of the men gathered in a group, untied their wet clothes, and found one after another tight packets of oiled paper bags from the hidden parts of their bodies.

The packet was opened, and the dull yellow powder gave off a slightly pungent smell.

It was the nitrified starch that the Eighth Route Army had transformed after getting Lu Yuan's formula, and it was extremely powerful.

The purpose of risking his life to infiltrate Zhongmu County this time was, on the one hand, naturally hoping that the grain would be eaten by the Japanese army, and on the other hand, he naturally hoped to create chaos in the city.

There were more than 30 people, and the oil paper bags brought in added up to no less than five or six kilograms, which was not a small pile.

Fortunately, when they entered the city, everyone was covered in thick mud, and because they were more trusting of them, the Japanese army confiscated their guns, and searched them only roughly, otherwise it would not have been possible to bring in such a dangerous thing.

"Cheer up, you two, be quick with your hands and feet!"

Yang Zongman shouted in a low voice, and everyone began to look at the wind from the crack in the door and the direction of the window, and the two soldiers squatted on the ground and immediately began to make small explosive packs.

"Damn little devil, fuck me"

At this moment, a soldier in the direction of the window suddenly scolded with grief and indignation, and his teeth were gritted!

"Baga, what's noisy, be quiet!" The Japanese soldiers outside the door scolded dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, Taijun, let's be quiet"

Cai Kaile nodded in response, and then glared at the soldier fiercely, at this time, seven or eight soldiers had already rushed to the window, their eyes were wide, they were congested, and everyone's mouth made a burst of grinding teeth, as if they were going to gnaw someone's bones.

Looking out of this window, you can see the direction of the low-lying area in the north of the city.

Most places in the city are still very muddy because of the receding floodwaters, but there is no water on the road, and the direction of the north of the city is still in a state of sewage, and the sewage in many places is thigh-deep.

Everyone clearly saw that in the area where the sewage was everywhere, there were countless corpses of ordinary people floating everywhere, floating and sinking in the sewage like rotten wood, emitting a stench that soared to the sky.

Many of the corpses were soaked and bulged, completely bursting the clothes on their bodies, floating in the sewage like a well-breathed sheepskin fell, and those distorted facial features looked extremely terrifying.

If only that's all, that's fine.

What is hateful is that in those corpse groups, there are still many ordinary people gathered in groups in a few high places, and some people even have no place to stand, and stand directly on the pile of corpses, those people, lifeless, can't see their expressions at all, there is no difference from those corpses.

They were alive, but they looked like they were dead.

The Japanese army was crazy with hunger, and it was impossible to provide food for these ordinary people.

Yang Zongman and the others' faces were extremely pale, they didn't dare to think about what these people had survived on until now, and what allowed them to continue to hold on, they only knew that these people were not as good as dogs.

"These damn devils, I'm going to kill them all!"

"Brutes, it's just a bunch of brutes."

Many soldiers were trembling violently, eager to rush out immediately and fight to the death with the little devils!

"Calm down, everyone!"

Cai Kaile's face was also very ugly, and he lowered his voice and said: "These people are very pitiful, but there are a lot of them, if they can be used, it will definitely be of great help to our plan!" ”

Many soldiers forcibly calmed themselves down and listened to Cai Kaile.
