Chapter Forty-Eight: The Cage Project
There are all kinds of indications that it may be related to the devil's cage plan.
Xu San knew something about the cage plan, when he watched "Bright Sword", when the word popped out of Yoshio Shinozuka's mouth, he went out of his way to ask Du Niang.
The so-called cage plan refers to the fact that they used the railway as a pillar, the highway as a chain, and the stronghold as a lock, in an attempt to create a cage that could put the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in it.
In this strategy, the role of roads is crucial.
The specific method was to first gather heavy troops to capture a part of the base area, and then wantonly arrest people to build roads.
After the road was repaired, the enemy dug blockade ditches on both sides of the road, and built strongholds and artillery towers every two or three kilometers along the road.
In this way, in addition to supporting each other with firepower, various strongholds and artillery towers were also dispatched to patrol day and night to shoot and kill all suspicious targets.
Later, the cage worked for the time being.
Many base areas, especially the plain base areas, have been cut into many small pieces by highway in the shape of kings, fields, and meters, and the space for the troops' activities has been greatly reduced.
Xu San calculated in his heart that the current distance between the strongholds could not reach the level of two or three kilometers, which means that the cage plan is still in its early stages. And this time, the devil changed the clothes of some of the puppet army, and it is very likely that he will accelerate this plan.
Send this information out as soon as possible!
After sending away a few puppet soldiers, Xu San immediately got into the warehouse and began to sort out the intelligence and write an analysis report again.
This time it's more difficult than last time.
Because this time it has risen to the level of strategy.
Xu San's ability is limited, and his knowledge is limited to TV series and Du Niang, and these things are not available yet.
But fortunately, history is there, and it is okay to write the results directly without writing the process, as for how to make decisions in the end, it is not up to him to influence.
In the afternoon, Xu San continued to go out for a walk.
At this time, the flow of people on the street was significantly reduced, and when I slipped into the Yuelai Inn, I found that it was closed.
It seems that underground workers also have to take annual leave, or are they also going out to pay New Year's greetings?
In the second year of junior high school, Ma Cuilan and her mother came over early to help Xu San clean up the greenhouse, loosen the soil, and water some water.
Xu San was watching from the side, learning humbly.
The vegetable plot was not big, and it didn't take long to finish it, but the little girl didn't come out of it.
Because it's warm inside, there are stoves and flues to help with heating.
According to custom, today should be the day when Ma Cuilan took the little girl back to her mother, seeing that Ma Cuilan hadn't left at this time, Xu San asked: "Sister-in-law, isn't it my mother's house today?" ”
"I won't go back, I'm a widow, and when I go back, I'm also looked down upon, and even Xiaomeizi is bullied." Ma Cuilan said lightly, her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but in the depths of her eyes, there was a trace of sadness.
Xu San can probably understand Ma Cuilan's thoughts in his eyes, after all, she has been pulling the child alone for two or three years, and with her hard work in the past two or three years, she should be able to save a lot of money.
Maybe.....
Is she afraid that her poor relatives will worry about her money?
After the edification of the network in later generations, Xu San can naturally make up many of these bloody plots in his brain.
Looking at this orphan and widow, Xu San decided to leave them here for a meal today, "Today is the second day of junior high school, sister-in-law, you can go back to your parents' house when you come to me!" I'll stay here for a meal at noon. ”
Ma Cuilan's heart was slightly hot, her affairs were just as Xu San thought, there was indeed an older brother in her mother's family who was worried about her little savings, and her father also had the idea of helping his son.
If her husband is fine, but her husband is gone, she will inevitably be bullied as a woman with children, so she is a little avoidant of this mother's family.
She hadn't been back to her parents' house for two years, and hearing Xu San's words today made her feel at home inexplicably: "Okay, I'll listen to my brother's arrangement today, and I'll be content to have a brother like you." ”
"There's one thing I still need to ask my sister-in-law to help with?" Xu San said.
"Brother, if you have something, just say it."
Next, Xu San was not polite, and directly dictated the appearance of the ninja costume, planning to ask Ma Cuilan to help him make two sets.
Ma Cuilan listened silently, and after carefully noting down Xu San's needs: "It's not difficult, there are some black materials in my shop, and I can finish it in one day." ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, now it's the New Year, let's have a good rest, we should eat, we should play, and it's not too late to talk about it on the fifth day of the new year."
After talking about the clothes, Xu San looked at the little girl who was empty-handed and didn't have any toys, and suddenly thought of a business that might be able to make a little money.
After a little thought: "Sister-in-law, I have a small business that may be able to make a little money." ”
"Since you can make money, let's talk about it, do you need your sister-in-law to help you in this business?" Ma Cuilan said with a smile.
Then, Xu San said the idea of fluffy toys in later generations.
In this era, of course, it was impossible to make the kind of plush toys that came later, and it could not be filled with cotton.
Xu San's idea can also be regarded as echoing the characteristics of the times.
The shape was designed by him, the shell was hand-sewn by Ma Cuilan, and the filling was chaff, wheat husk and a little rag head, and Xu San chose to give up the fluff directly.
After hearing this, Ma Cuilan frowned slightly and expressed her worries, "Your idea is quite good, but this thing may not be easy to sell in our Ping'an City." ”
"Sister-in-law, you don't know, the money of women and children in this world is the best money, and this plush toy earns the money of women and children."
Ma Cuilan had never seen those cute plush toys in later generations, and she could think of those little tigers and little lions that could only be sold in the bazaar, so she was not very optimistic about this thing, but she didn't want to refute Xu San's face, so she agreed to help make a few.
The little girl is very lively, and at the moment he is going in and out of the greenhouse, feeling the novelty brought by the alternation of hot and cold.
Seeing this, Xu San thought about shouting to stop, because this kind of alternation of hot and cold is too easy to catch a cold.
But Ma Cuilan next to him reprimanded him one step ahead of him: "Be honest, don't always lift the curtains, the vegetable seedlings inside will freeze to death after a while." ”
"Oh~"
The little girl was very obedient, closed the curtain, and came to her mother with a pouting expression of reluctance: "Did Uncle Xu San want us to eat at his house just now?" ”
Ma Cuilan saw the greedy face of the little girl, and couldn't help but stretch out her finger and gently nodded on her forehead: "You, you know how to eat!" Why can't you remember what else I said? ”
The little girl smiled, not caring about her mother's reproach this time, but ran to Xu San's side, grabbed his arm and raised her head: "Uncle Xu, my mother said that the first dumpling and the first two noodles of the first year, can we still eat the noodles you made last time today?" ”
