Later, even the chaff could not be found, and the soldiers often fought hungry, many were malnourished, and many were so hungry that they could not even walk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Otherwise, many places have become no-man's land, and people cannot survive in their hometowns, so they can only abandon their families and jobs to make a living in other places.

They all thought that they could survive in other places, but everywhere was the territory of the Japanese and the Kuomintang, and everywhere was also either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

Zhao Jianmin saw that everyone was silent, so he turned his eyes to Han Xing and said, "I want to hear Comrade Han Xing's opinion?" ”

Han Xing thought for a while and said, "The situation is indeed very serious, there is a large area of no man's land in the north of Guanxian County and the north of Tangyi. I have investigated, it is not that the land in this place is not fertile, nor is it that the population is small, but due to the continuous plundering of the Japanese, the puppet army, and the Qi Zixiu Department, coupled with natural disasters, there are no people in many places anymore.

There is no God in this world, but there is only one God, and that is Himself. The Japanese and the Kuomintang saw that there was no one in this area, and they didn't go much, so they stretched out their black hands to the places where they could still plunder. I thought, is it possible to drive the Liaotang detachment there and establish a new base area? ”

Zhao Jianmin asked: "When your troops get there, what do they eat?" ”

Han Xing said: "Anyway, it's Liaonan, Tangyi Nan, and there's nothing to eat." It's the same everywhere? ”

"The common people are water, the Eighth Route Army is fish, without the common people, how can you survive?" Zhao Jianmin asked again.

Han Xing said: "If there is no water, we have to raise it." Those who have not yet starved to death will be organized to produce to save themselves. Slowly recall the fleeing folks. I believe that as long as this place is established and people can survive, those who fled may come back one after another. ”

Zhao Jianmin thought for a while and said: "That is what I said, but it is very difficult, but I believe that Comrade Han Xing has a way. This is a good proposal of yours, first of all, I support it. ”

Zhao Jianmin supported it, but Zhang Daqian raised an objection: "Comrade Han Xing, if you do this, you will push our Liaotang detachment into a desperate situation. There are no civilians, no food, what do we eat and drink, how can the troops survive? ”

Chai Long also disagreed: "You can't go to that place, the people have fled to Qilipu, if they can survive, what are they doing in Qilipu?" If this is the case, we really have nowhere to go to the Liaotang detachment, even if we return to Qilipu, we can't run to the no-man's land in the north of Tangyi and the north of Guanxian. ”

Chief of Staff Li Shanting also disagreed, saying: "If it really doesn't work, we will stay in the south of Tangyi, I know this place well, people are familiar with it, and the army can survive no matter what." If you go to the north of Tangyi and the north of Guanxian County, the land is sparse and no man's land, let's talk about the Tang detachment, there is more than one luck!? ”

They all raised objections, and Han Xing's heart was a little annoyed, and he said indignantly: "If you get there, I will be responsible for finding food for everyone." ”

Han Xing's words, Zhang Daqian, Chai Long, and Li Shanting all glared at Han Xing in surprise. Not only was he surprised, but even Zhao Jianmin was surprised, and asked Han Xing: "You are the director of the Bureau of Industry, if you want to talk about engaging in industry and weapons, you didn't say it." But if you want to get food, where do you go to get food? You don't have land, you're not a big landlord, where is there grain? ”

Zhang Daqian was also a little unreliable when he heard these words, and said, "Section Chief Han, I have always respected you. But this is a meeting, so it's better to be serious. ”

Han Xing asked her rhetorically: "What if I can really get food?" ”

Zhang Daqian also jokingly said: "Then there is no need to say, our Liaotang detachment will resolutely follow you to the uninhabited area in the north of Guanxian County and the north of Tangyi to develop the base area." We don't have anything to eat here, but when we get there, why not do it! ”

Zhao Jianmin nodded and said: "In the big picture, this is also an opportunity for us, whoever occupies the territory, who occupies the people, and who occupies the grain, who has the capital of war." In the no-man's land, there are opportunities, but the people do not have them, and there is no food. I believe that Comrade Han Xing, I believe that your Liaotang detachment will be able to overcome difficulties, slowly bring popularity, and slowly bring food ......"

Although several leaders of the Liaotang detachment had opinions in their hearts, when the leaders spoke, they also represented the opinions of the organization. The only way to do what the organization has set is to resolutely obey it.

After some preparations, the Liaotang detachment marched to the no-man's land north of Guanxian and Tangyi.

Entering the no-man's land, it is really miserable, it is already autumn, the scorching sun is still warm, if you look at the scenery in normal times, it is the harvest season. But now when I looked into the field, there was no crop in the field, only weeds, and there was no bark on the trees, and it seemed that the bark had been stripped and eaten, and even the leaves were pitiful.

What's even more terrifying is that after walking a long distance, I can't see a living person. When I entered the village, I couldn't hear the dogs barking, the chickens barking, the cows humming, and I couldn't see a single figure, as if it was the end of the world. Many farmhouses are also very horrible, with no gates, no doors, no windows, and they have become a fork of the house.

Han Xing felt quite strange and asked Zhang Daqian, who was also the secretary of the Tangyi County Party Committee: "Why don't farmers farm the land, and what do they eat if they don't farm?" ”

Zhang Daqian said: "Last year there was a big drought and there was no harvest, but later this year it rained thoroughly, and the peasants also wanted to produce to save themselves and plant some grain. But Wu Lianjie and Qi Zixiu, who had brought disaster to the country and the people, saw it, and the ploughing cattle were robbed and the seeds were snatched. Some people have no choice but to steal the land at night, and it is inevitable that they will be robbed by the bandits, and once they hear the movement, they will first beat and scold, and then snatch the livestock and seeds. As a result of these bandits' misdeeds, the peasants were not allowed to farm, and finally the land became barren and the disaster was exacerbated. ”

Hearing Zhang Daqian's introduction, some soldiers scolded: "Jet Wu and Qi Zixiu are really not beaten by people, don't they eat food, do they just pop out of the cracks in the stones?" "It's good now, don't let the people grow food, the people are starving to death, can they still live!"

Han Xing asked again: "Where have all the peasants fled to the no-man's land?" ”

Zhang Daqian said: "After a small number of people sold their property, houses and land at a low price, they fled with their children and children to the rural areas of Liaoning and Jilin in northeast China to farm land and make a living. Some of them led their families to flee to the more abundant areas of Shanxi Province, where they made a living by begging or finding temporary labor.

Most people help the old and the young to flee to the relatively bumper harvest areas of Dongping, Wenshang, and Liangshan in the south of the Yellow River with the only little clothes and furniture at home, and exchange a little grain to eat, and those who have the labor force try to find some short-term jobs to do, and most of the old and weak women and children rely on begging to survive, and a considerable number of people marry their minor children to local farmers as child brides to survive. ”

Hearing Zhang Daqian's introduction, the nearby soldiers all sighed and sighed, and their hearts were heavy.

Along the way, I saw a few hungry people, the flesh skin had already turned black, swarms of flies were flying on the body, and fat maggots crawled in and out of the body, which was really disgusting and pitiful. One of the characteristics of no man's land is that there is no one to bury it when it dies.

Han Xing really wanted to give an order to bury these dead bodies, according to the Chinese habit of going into the earth for safety, but the soldiers' physical strength is limited, and they still have to walk, where is there such physical strength? Moreover, there are countless dead bodies waiting to be disposed of along the way.

It can only be strange or not, the living still want to live, and the dead can't care about it.

At this moment, one of the warriors pointed to the distance and said, "Look, there's a living one over there." Some of the soldiers said, "At last there is a living person, and if you don't even see a living person, you will really scare the living to death!" ”

A glimmer of hope finally rose in Han Xing's heart, with people, there will also be popularity, and he must face every living life well! Be sure to give him a hand.

Walking this way, that is, a boy in his teens, swaying, it seems that his body is extremely weak. One of his hands was grasping forward, not knowing what to grasp, maybe a sweet potato, maybe a vegetable dumpling, or his own life......

It was with the support of this grasp that he walked forward step by step.

Han Xing quickened his pace to meet him, and when he was still more than ten meters away from the child, the child suddenly fell crookedly. Han Xing hurriedly came to him and touched it, and the child was already out of breath. After listening to him, his heart stopped beating. Looking at his face, he no longer looked like a human being, just a skeleton, except for skin and bones, and he was already severely malnourished.

Malnutrition is a serious disease, and in the end, even if he is given delicacies from the mountains and seas, he will not be able to eat anymore. His internal organs have already been severely damaged.

It seems that he has boiled the last drop of oil, and even the gods can't save him. This child, who is only a teenager, has gone through his short life with an incomprehension of this cruel world.

The soldiers sighed for a long time and sighed a lot, but to treat such a serious *** and a child who fell in front of them, they could only turn their heads and continue to walk their own way.

I entered a village called Sunzhuang, there was no one in the village, the streets were overgrown with weeds, and some of the houses emitted an unusual smell. The village is full of hares, and it seems that even the rabbits have moved to live in the village, where they have started a family, married and had children. Even the house has only a fork of the house, and there are no doors and windows, so I don't feel any signs of human life.

Han Xing asked Zhang Daqian again: "What about the door panels, what about the windows, why is there only a fork left in the house?" ”

Zhang Daqian said: "This is not to blame Wu Lianjie and Qi Zixiu, forcing the people to hand over the grain, if you can't pay the grain, you will uncover the pot, smash the cylinder, the pot is gone, the cylinder is smashed, unload the door panel, open the window, anyway, force you to hand over the grain." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers cursed again.

Zhang Daqian asked Han Xing: "Are you still going inside?" ”

Han Xing said: "I think let's rest in this village for a while!" Further on, it's like this. ”

Zhang Daqian ordered the troops to be stationed in this village. It's good now, there is no need to mobilize the people to vacate the house, anyway, there is no one in the village, so live casually.

Han Xing and Zhang Daqian arrived at a house, smelling a foul smell coming from the hall, Wang Xiu'e has a lot of experience, covered her nose and said, "There are dead people-" She took the lead and walked into the head, picked up a small dead body with a broken quilt, and then sent it to the outside of the village to deal with it.

Han Xing's heart caused another mystery, and asked Zhang Daqian: "Why is there only one child, what about his mother and his father?" ”
