Sitting on the rickshaw, Xiao Siming had mixed feelings in his heart.

In the past, in Xiao Siming's mind, he always thought that those who were traitors were incorruptible and shameless, and he never thought that the reason why these traitors became traitors was that in addition to ignoring the national righteousness and selling themselves for glory, there was a more practical reason, that is, to eat and live!

For example, the pseudo-policeman who was idle-witting with Xiao Siming just now, that was a standard puppet and traitor, but he did it willingly and hotly, and he couldn't see that he had a trace of being persecuted by the Japanese army and perfunctory to the Japanese army, which was purely voluntary by him.

The real reason for this situation, aside from the national righteousness, is to let the family eat an old snack!

Such a simple truth made Xiao Siming stunned and incredible!

From this, Xiao Siming thought that with the progress of the war, the War of Resistance behind enemy lines was likely to become more and more cruel and difficult as it was in history, and perhaps there would still be a situation in which North China, Central China, East China, and South China would be demoted like a tide of officials and troops. In that case, there is a puppet army in front to block bullets for the little devils, and the puppet army alone cannot be wiped out, how can the process of the War of Resistance be accelerated?

Later, Wu Huawen, who defected to the enemy in Shandong, once wrote a reminiscence article to defend his surrender as a puppet army, which said that the most difficult time, the troops did not talk about eating, not even grass roots and leaves had to eat, calling for the sky and the earth to be ineffective, and even his own guards starved to death, and he really couldn't sustain himself, so he surrendered and became a puppet army under the seduction of the Japanese army.

Originally, when he looked at Wu Huawen's text, Xiao Siming scoffed, and looked down on Wu Huawen in his heart, thinking that he was both a **** and a memorial arch, obviously greedy for life and afraid of death as a traitor, and said it so pitifully, excusing himself and despising him!

The soul traveled to this era and was in the midst of the War of Resistance, Xiao Siming truly experienced the cruelty of war and the difficulty of survival. The situation of the independent battalion is good, because the company has won successive battles, the capture is large, and the food of the troops is good. However, other units of the Eighth Route Army were different, during the Battle of Pingxingguan, the soldiers' dry food bags were filled with fried black beans, and when they were hungry, they grabbed the black beans and chewed them. This was still the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War with good conditions, and when it was the most difficult time of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army was happy to eat black beans, not to mention eating black beans.

Before Xiao Siming crossed, he also read some reminiscences written by people who lived in big cities such as Beiping and Tianjin in the enemy-occupied areas during the Anti-Japanese War, saying that after the outbreak of the Pacific War, Bohai Bay was blocked, and grain could not be transported in, and all that was supplied on the market were mixed noodles and acorn noodles, and some of them were mixed with sand, so they could not be eaten.

Thinking about it at this time, Xiao Siming knew that the situation in the enemy-occupied area was much better than that in the base area, and the Japanese army implemented the three-light policy in the base area, and even the grass roots and leaves could not be eaten, but the people in the city were still complaining that the mixed noodles and acorn noodles were unpalatable, which was ridiculous!

Thinking about it, Xiao Siming felt that after the independent battalion established a base area in the future, it must give top priority to developing the economy and solving the problem of food, and ensure that the troops and the people in the base area have something to eat, so that the base area can be built with an impregnable wall.

It is not enough to rely solely on fighting and capturing and fighting to feed the war, and when the independent battalion is now numbered 8 or 900 people, and when it grows to several thousand or tens of thousands of people in the future, it is a fool's dream to feed the troops only by capturing the grain of the Japanese puppet army!

The rickshaw was running, Xiao Siming's mind was spinning, and he thought more and more deeply, and he actually thought that the soldiers and the people were the foundation of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and food, weapons and ammunition were the basis for ensuring that the soldiers and the people persisted in the Anti-Japanese War!

Zhao Changshou's classmate is named Chen Mingbo, who studied chemistry and is an engineer at the smokeless gunpowder factory of the Northwest Industrial Company.

At this time, the scale of the city in Taiyuan was far worse than that of later generations, but the rickshaw was slow, and when Zhao Changshou took Xiao Siming and them to find Chen Mingbo's house, it was already around 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Those who were able to study in Japan during the Republic of China must have been rich in their families. After returning to Shanxi, he was courteous to Yan Xishan and was able to work in Shanxi Industrial Company, and the salary must be rich.

Chen Mingbo's home is a small courtyard house with blue bricks and blue tiles, and there are brick carvings on the brick walls, which looks very elegant.

With such a beautiful small courtyard, coupled with the background of studying in Japan, he can speak Japanese, and Chen Mingbo did not retreat south with the arsenal, so it is not difficult to explain.

A three-wheeled motorcycle with a small sun flag was parked at the gate, and a ghost soldier stood guard at the door with a rifle.

Zhao Changshou suddenly muttered in his heart, could it be that Chen Mingbo became a traitor?

Xiao Siming also muttered in his heart, because if Chen Mingbo became a traitor, then there would be no need to mobilize him to join the Eighth Route Army, just kill him directly, saving the Japanese army another explosives expert.

Anyway, I finally got to Chen Mingbo's doorstep, and I had to go in to see what the situation was!

Xiao Siming pulled Zhao Changshou, who was walking in front, and walked towards the door with his head held high.

The Japanese soldier pulled the bolt of the gun with a loud bang, and scolded loudly, telling Xiao Siming and them to go away!

Xiao Siming did not walk away, but smiled and said in Japanese that they were from the Taiyuan Gudi Agency of the Japanese Army, and at the order of His Excellency Gudina Huaxiong, the head of the agency, they came to visit Chen Ming Bojun and discuss something!

Where did ordinary Japanese soldiers dare to provoke secret services that specialized in conspiracy and trickery? The devil sentry put away his gun as soon as he landed, bowed his head and said "Haiyi", turned sideways, and asked Xiao Siming and them to go in.

didn't know what the situation was inside, so Xiao Siming didn't take action to solve this devil sentry, let alone leave Chen Desheng to stand guard outside the door, but led Chen Desheng and Zhao Changshou into the courtyard with a swagger.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a thin man in his thirties standing in the courtyard in a daze, with tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose, his face covered with black blue, and muttering something in his mouth.

At the door of the main room stood a guy wearing a Japanese military hat, a black cotton jacket on the upper body, yellow military pants on the lower body, and Japanese horse boots.

This guy's dress is exactly the same as the one burned by Zhao Changshou, and he is clearly a translator of the Japanese army.

The door of the main room was closed, and a burst of chirping Japanese came through the cracks in the door and the window, and the voice was mixed with banter, presumptuousness, and occasionally the faint pleading and crying of a woman could be heard.

As soon as Zhao Changshou saw the man, he flashed out from behind Xiao Siming, stepped over, and shouted, "Brother Mingbo!" ”

That man turned out to be Zhao Changshou's classmate Chen Mingbo in Japan!

As soon as Xiao Siming saw the Japanese translator standing at the door, and then heard the voice in the main room, he instantly understood everything, and he didn't bother to greet Chen Mingbo, and he jumped to the door of the main room in a few steps.

Hearing the movement, the devil translator finally turned around, and as soon as he saw Xiao Siming jumping over, the Wang Ba box in his hand was raised, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to speak, Xiao Siming's slap arrived.

This time, Xiao Siming used enough strength in his hands, and with only one slap, he instigated half of the translator's face, and the whole person spun around three times on the ground, and finally fell to the ground with a "flutter", and the Wang Ba box in his hand also flew out, and was caught in his hand by Chen Desheng, who caught up later.

With a "bang", Xiao Siming kicked open the door of the main room, and an angry cry suddenly sounded in the room: "Baga! ”

The main room of Chen Mingbo's house is a three-room ridged brick house, but the interior decoration style is Japanese, with large windows, wooden floors, wooden lattice doors, tatami mats in the bedroom, and a square tea table under the windowsill, on either side of the tea table are two dark red cushions.

At this moment, a Japanese officer was sitting cross-legged at the coffee table by the window in the bedroom, with a woman writhing and struggling in his arms. The officer held a wooden tea bowl with pale yellow tea in one hand, and the other hand explored and kneaded in the clothes on the woman's chest.

After Xiao Siming kicked the door open, he rushed into the house, and before the devil officer put down the woman in his arms and stood up, Xiao Siming had already rushed into the bedroom and shouted loudly in Japanese: "Baga! Which army are you from? There is a fierce battle on the front line, you go here to have fun and let down His Majesty the Emperor! Moreover, you dare to molest the friend of the Japanese Army, the friend of His Excellency Gu Di Na Huaxiong, the head of the Taiyuan organ of the Great Japanese Army, and the wife of Chen Ming Bojun, and destroy the cooperative relationship between the Japanese Army and the friends of China, and the Gu Di organ will send you to a military court! ”

The color on the collar badge of the devil officer is dark blue, and at a glance he knows that he is a baggage soldier, and the rank mark is a captain, which is far worse than the head of the Taiyuan secret agency, Gu Di Na Huaxiong.

Hearing Xiao Siming's roar, the devil officer was stunned, and it took a long time to push away the woman in his arms, stand up, and stare at Xiao Siming with a suspicious face for a while, seeing Xiao Siming's angry face, holding a southern fourteen-year-old pistol in his hand, he might give him a moment at any time, so he had to bow his head and bend down and say, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble!" Thank you for your kind attention! ”

I didn't expect to see Xiao Siming, who has always been a killer of little devils, to change his sex, and politely open with the little devil, he really took a lot of care, and he didn't send this devil captain to see Amaterasu with a single thumb, but ordered him to write down clearly which unit he was in and what position, saying that he would report to His Excellency Gudina Huaxiong, the head of the agency!

Xiao Siming didn't give up, and kept saying that he wanted to report to Gu Dina Huaxiong, the head of the Taiyuan secret service, which really scared this devil captain, and kept bowing and apologizing, and he kept saying that he was causing you trouble, please take care of it!

In the end, Captain Devil had to take the pen and paper from Chen Desheng, who followed up, and honestly wrote down his name, unit number, position, and rank: Yunosuke Yamashita, attached to the 20th Wing of the Heavy Soldiers of the 20th Division of the Army.

That's not enough, under Xiao Siming's coercion, Captain Yunosuke Yamashita even took out his identity card for Xiao Siming to check, and finally obediently took out five golden small yellow croakers from his leather backpack and stuffed them into Xiao Siming's trouser pocket.

Only then did Xiao Siming tell Captain Yunosuke Yamashita that after he went back, he thought about it behind closed doors, wrote down clearly the crime of violating military discipline and destroying the relationship between the Japanese Army and his friends in China, and waited for further investigation and handling by the Gudi organ!

Captain Yunosuke Yamashita finally got the pardon, he knew that it was the five little yellow croakers that worked, otherwise he wouldn't be able to leave, and he was afraid that he would have to go to the secret service to be investigated. It is not an exaggeration to say that this place is a hell on earth, and once you go in, it is difficult to say whether you will be able to come out alive again.

Yunosuke Yamashita bowed deeply to Xiao Siming again, and after saying words of gratitude, he walked away.
