The dog, who was only 12 years old, fled with his parents because of hunger.

The dog who fell to the ground did not know how long it had been since he had eaten, and was now too hungry to walk. A thin coarse cloth covered him, enduring the baking of the midday sun. His lips, who hadn't drunk water for a long time, gradually dried up, and the rolling heat wave lifted the coarse cloth on his body, revealing a shriveled skeleton. If you hadn't seen his chest still heaving slightly, you'd have thought it was just a corpse.

There were many people lying there beside the dog, old and young, men and women. It's all the same face, the same thin body. A pair of dead eyes reveal extreme dissatisfaction with the world. The younger ones all ran to the south, and heard that there were white-flour steamed buns and hot buns, and they were all over the streets. But these old, weak, sick and disabled people were left behind and could not run to the south at all, and they could not walk, so they could only let their dry bodies fall on the side of the road. They all knew that in a little while they would all die of hunger and pain under the scorching sun.

The dog, like all people, hadn't eaten for a few days. When was the last time he gnawed on the bark, the dog couldn't remember. Refugees cross the border like locusts, eating everything they can along the way, whether it is the bark or the roots, or the weeds. After the crowd, the originally barren land can be regarded as a lack of grass.

was originally a family of three, but now he is the only one left. A few days ago, his parents gave the last of the bark to the dog, and the two of them, who had not eaten for a long time, fell to the ground, and no matter how the dog called, they never got up again. There are too many people, and even the bark is not enough to eat, and the faster ones can pick up more, and the slower ones can only watch others gnaw on the bark.

The dog does not have a big name, the dog is the name that was chosen in the first place for the sake of good birth. The dog's parents want to give their child's name a cheap point so that it can be fed. Now they can't see it.

The dog stared blankly at the scorching sun, and he didn't feel any glare at this time. No matter how dazzling the sun was, hunger was not painful, and he could feel that death was so close to him, perhaps he could touch it as long as he stretched out his hand. It's just that he doesn't even have the strength to raise his hand now, and the boundless hunger and pain are destroying this young body. In the confusion, the dog sounded the words that echoed in his ears a few days ago: "Dog, live, you must live." This was the whisper in his ears as his parents fell, and the two of them, exhausted, spoke so softly that they wouldn't have been able to hear them unless the dog had listened very carefully. At that time, the dog could still eat something every day, but his parents couldn't bear to eat it and insisted on leaving it for him, and the two kept emphasizing in front of the dog that they had eaten it. It wasn't until they fell in front of the dog that the dog realized that his father and mother had never eaten, and drank dirty water on the side of the road every day, just trying to keep himself alive.

The dog bit the tip of his tongue, not wanting to let himself fall unconscious, he knew that once he passed out, he would be greeted by death. Until the last moment, he will definitely not give up, he does not want to disappoint his father. It's just that his current state can no longer support it, his consciousness is becoming more and more blurred, and his mouth is open and he mutters: "Daddy, the dog misses you so much, the dog is coming to you!" ”

In a daze, the dog seemed to see the heavenly father and mother and wanted to wave again.

At this moment, the dog lying on the ground felt the ground tremble, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance. This also made his consciousness that was about to dissipate clear again. He struggled to turn around, and the blinding sunlight allowed him to see a row of dark shadows in the distance approaching rapidly.

The troops who arrived here were the logistics unit of the Southwest People's Army and a company of soldiers, and the KPA began to disperse as soon as it entered the territory of Mongolia. A large amount of food was continuously transported from the rear, and they did not know how many people they rescued along the way. But more often than not, it was about gathering farmers who had died of starvation, and every truck that brought in grain would carry away a large number of corpses.

The company commander who led the team didn't know that the group of people in front of him was the first batch he had rescued, so many that he was in no mood to count them at all. More than a hundred warriors, carrying drinking water, ran to those people, and when they saw that they were still alive, they immediately handed the mouth of the bottle with water to their mouths. The cooks began to bury the pot and make rice.

Some of the refugees, who still had some strength, began to struggle to sit up. The strong desire to do business made the dog begin to struggle to sit up. When a fighter saw the dog, he immediately ran to him, took out a bottle, and from it a tube came out of it and put it in the dog's mouth.

The instinct made the dog suck a sip, and the first time, the dog felt some slight sweetness, and the first reaction was that the water was delicious.

The dog immediately sucked in a big gulp, and the thirsty throat gradually became comfortable.

The warrior put the bottle in the dog's arms, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he clutched the bottle tightly with both hands, lowered his head and continued to suck the water. After the warrior had put the water bottle in the dog's arms, he went over to an old man beside the dog and took out another bottle of water, just like the dog had just done. When the old man could drink his own water, the warrior walked over to the other man.

Glucose, which was the main equipment of the soldiers who entered the Mongols this time, each fighter had to carry a minimum of five bottles. As soon as the logistics arrive, it must be replenished immediately, and people who have been hungry for a long time cannot eat as soon as possible, and the effect of glucose is reflected.

――――――――――――

Nanning Government Office Building.

After reading the grain report, Chen Shao said to Wang Jie beside him: "The food is far from enough, and tell the logistics department that we must ensure that Mongolia's food needs are met." Then order the Air Force, dispatch two more squadrons of Dapeng, and paratroopers also participate in the rescue, and if you can save one, count one. ”

"I'll do it right away!"

Putting down the report in his hand, Chen Shao looked a little sad. Their own strength is still far from enough, and no matter how powerful the military is, what is the use.

If the famine is not over, there is no talk of the world.

The country is too big, with a population of more than 400 million, and it cannot remain indifferent to itself.

Some things still need to be done, and if you don't do it yourself, who will do it.

Hero, hero, Chen Shao didn't think so much, and did things according to his conscience.

At noon, Chen Shao returned to the base, where there was still a military meeting.

Walking into the conference room, Chen Shao's face was very bad, and he had not yet recovered from the Mongolian factual report.

As soon as he came in, Chen Shao said straight to the point: "I have always resented the Japanese so much now, if it weren't for the Japanese incident, this Mongolian famine would not have caused such casualties at all." ”

The soldiers in the conference room all knew about Mongolia. At this time, Jiang Baili was still commanding the rescue in Mongolia, and many generals were on the Mongolian front. Seeing that their leader did not hide his anger made the generals present feel a chill coming out of their feet.

"Chairman, I propose to dispatch the South China Sea Fleet to destroy Japan's naval forces and directly send troops to land on the main island of Japan." Chen Shaokuan stood up and said with a murderous expression.

"I want to do the same, but it's not in line with our grand strategic direction. Japan must not fall now, it is a very important flag for us. Although Chen Shao also wanted to destroy Japan now, he conflicted with his original intention, and he had made a lot of preparations in Japan, so he couldn't fall short.

Chen Shao's words made many people a little confused, and these words made them a little confused. This was also the first time Chen Shao had said this in front of them, but Chen Shao didn't intend to explain anything.

"You'll find out later, but we can charge some interest first. No, no, not interest, but taking back what belongs to us. Immediately ordered Su Yusheng to surround Hongkou, annihilate the Japanese troops in Hongkou, and capture all the Japanese expatriates and those national scum inside. The navy withdrew from Shanghai and went to Lushun to support Long Yun and take Lushun. Qian Sihai's marines must also be ready for battle and take back the treasure island that belongs to us. ”

Chen Shao's words shocked all the generals in their hearts. This treasure island, which has been ruled by the Japanese army for more than 30 years, is finally returning to the motherland. When war was just declared, Qian Sihai proposed to land in Taiwan more than once, but Chen Shao refused before the time came. The happiest in the conference room was Qian Sihai, seeing that the army and Japan were fighting hotly, and a brigade of marines was sitting on a cold bench there. It made him feel very awkward, and now it was time for the Marines to show their hands. The thought of landing in Taiwan made him feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and there was no news that made him happier than this.

To say that the People's Army at this time, in addition to the special forces, the most elite are the paratroopers and marines. Far beyond the training intensity of the army, so that all soldiers have a desire to show their hands. The last time I made a move was to land in Hainan, but there were not many opportunities to make a move, and as soon as the ship's guns rang out, it didn't take long for the Cantonese army to surrender. This landing in Taiwan was the first time they had fought against the Japanese army.

The current regular army, except for the Marine Corps, all branches of the army have fought against the Japanese army. This made many Marine officers and soldiers both envious and jealous. Previously, in order to appease the soldiers, Qian Sihai promised many times that there would be a battle for them. While asking Chen Shao to fight, he increased the intensity of training. When he received Chen Shao's order, Qian Sihai was happy and relieved at the same time. Now you can explain to your subordinates, saving them from "rebelling".

As soon as the meeting ended, all the generals went down to prepare. Only Chen Shao was left in a daze inside. After this battle, Japan will be driven out of China, and their concessions can be reclaimed in a grand manner. But what about the other concessions? This matter has been bothering him for a long time, and the rise of China has attracted the attention of various countries, and Chen Shao does not want them to unite to suppress China, which will make China's development fall into an extremely slow situation. Now they also know that James is an important source of income for them, and they don't know that they are the boss behind James, but there is no guarantee that they will not suppress and force James to put aside the relationship with themselves, although James will never do that, but the development of Longteng Group will also be in trouble. This is also a headache for Chen Shao.
