The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2254 Lost and Found

"Reporting to Captain Shang, my name is Liu Changgui!"

"Reporting to Captain Shang, my name is Xu Defeng!"

"Hey, just call me Old Dutou!"

……

A squad of soldiers stood in front of a group of people and began to introduce themselves, and right behind them was the granary with a blazing fire.

Soldiers like Liu Changgui and Xu Defeng looked at Shang Zhen with excitement in their eyes. Xu Defeng was like that glasses; even those big lenses couldn't hide his inner excitement.

But Shang Zhen seemed a little disappointed. After the soldiers of this squad introduced themselves, he waved his hand and turned to look at the granary that was burning brightly.

Flames and black smoke rose into the sky, and there were "beeping" sounds, as well as a burnt smell of burning grain!

Even though Shang Zhen was a man who never showed his emotions, he could not hide his frustration when he looked at the granary.

Last night, he led a small group of people to shoot at the town from the north, which was actually to attract the attention of the Japanese army, while most of their people were searching for weapons in the open area south of the town.

These weapons, of course, come from the Independent Brigade Guard Battalion.

The way of thinking determines the way out. When the search was completed yesterday and it was almost dawn, Shang Zhenlian actually found forty-three twenty-shot box guns and corresponding Kowloon bullet belts, as well as more than ten rifles.

In this way, combined with the better rifles that Shang Zhenlian selected from their original weapons, their weapons would not be too bad.

But Shang Zhen understood that with more than 100 people in their company, it would not be enough to just have weapons and ammunition. They also needed food!

He then thought of the independent brigade’s granary.

He asked the people in their company, and no one saw any fire in the direction of the granary last night.

It was already midnight when the independent brigade was attacked by the Japanese army.

When they were searching for weapons in the open area, in order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese troops in the town, the soldiers had to crawl on the ground. How could they be fast? By the time they finished the search, it was already daybreak.

But even so, Shang Zhen couldn't let the soldiers rest, so he took a few people to the granary.

But before they reached the granary, they saw the Japanese and puppet troops from afar.

They ran forward, but no matter how fast they ran, they were not as close to the granary as the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet troops had more troops, and Shang Zhen knew he could not defeat them, so he could only helplessly watch the black smoke rising from the granary.

Shang Zhen discovered that the Japanese army had taken away another cart of grain, so he led his men forward, hoping to seize the cart of grain.

But just imagine, he couldn't even fight when the Japanese army went to burn the granary, and he could only shoot and kill the horse pulling the cart to steal the grain. Then, as expected, the Japanese army chased them again.

Shang Zhen had been chased by the Japanese army many times, but to him it was all insignificant. But what mattered was that when Ri Ding saw that the horse pulling the cart was killed, he asked the puppet army to find dry firewood and burned the food in the cart!

When Shang Zhen saw the Japanese army retreating, he went to look at the horse-drawn carriage. There was no need to think about the food as it had all been burnt into black grains. The horse that Shang Zhen ran after was the one pulling the carriage.

A horse must weigh at least 200 to 300 pounds, and the Japanese army couldn't drag it away. But to his surprise, he really didn't find the horse, but found a lot of bloodstains next to the carriage.

Although Shang Zhen didn't see it himself, he could imagine that the Japanese army actually cut the horse into pieces! The Japanese devils also wanted to eat horse meat!

Really, at this moment Shang Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't know why, but he thought of the time when he returned penniless after recovering from his injuries. He was poor and had nothing to eat. It was so fucking terrible!

When they returned, Shang Zhen knew that the granary must have been burned down, but he still held out hope. What if there was some grain left? But when he got to the granary, he realized that the fire would not eat any grain. It would eat charcoal! Not to mention the grain that turned to ash, the grain that did not turn to ash also turned into black charcoal!

And at this moment, the soldiers from the squad led by Old Ginger Liu Changgui and Xu Defeng appeared, and the situation just now happened.

Shang Zhen is very familiar with everyone in the recruit company.

Shang Zhen was not familiar with any of the other members of the independent brigade except for the few leaders.

The reason is that he has no idea of ​​understanding those ruffians and scum soldiers at all!

They are all eaters, drinkers, whores, gamblers, smokers, cheaters, and stealers. They are capable of all kinds of evil. When you talk about war, they run away. When you talk about running away, they are faster than anyone else. What's the point of knowing them?

So when he saw this squad of soldiers appearing in front of him with great enthusiasm, even though they called out his name, he could only be hypocritical. Yes, hypocritical. His whole mind was on my food!

Besides, Shang Zhenzhen had a prejudice against the soldiers of the independent brigade.

When these guys saw that he had come over, they thought they were just taking shelter under a big tree. Shang Zhen had no intention of taking them into the recruit company and corrupting the soldiers he had trained with great difficulty!

Shang Zhen turned around and walked a few steps towards the granary, then stopped.

He hasn't given up yet, he still wants to see if he can put out the fire or something.

But now the flames were high in the sky, burning fiercely, and if he went any further he could feel the temperature rising, and he couldn't get any closer!

"It seems that Captain Shang doesn't like us very much." Just as Shang Zhen took a few steps towards the granary, Xu Defeng, who was wearing glasses, whispered.

The other soldiers nodded; they saw it, too.

Shang Zhen did not know these soldiers, but these soldiers did know Shang Zhen.

When did the independent brigade really kill any Japanese devils? Wasn't that what happened after Shang Zhen and his company of new recruits joined?

Why did Old Du stay with these soldiers instead of running away? It was simply because birds of a feather flock together.

When a team is full of ruffians and scum, the unpopular minority are actually the good guys, and Lao Du and his gang are just like that.

"From what Captain Shang said, he doesn't mean he doesn't want to accept us, right?" Ma Changgui also muttered in a low voice.

These people all looked at Old Du.

The old man is cunning and the horse is slippery, but these people always listen to Old Du.

Old Du glanced at the soldiers with him. How could he not know what they were thinking? He stepped forward.

"Captain Shang, are you worried about the food?" asked Old Du.

Shang Zhen turned around when he heard the voice, looked at Old Du and said nothing, but his thoughts were clearly written on his face.

"The managers have all run away, leaving only our squad. We did manage to move some grain out of the granary." Old Du looked at Shang Zhen's face.

"Hmm?" Shang Zhen couldn't help but look at Old Du again and asked subconsciously, "Did you move out more?"

"Hey, they're all halfway up the mountain. The mountain is too high and we can't move it. Captain Shang, you'll know if you take a look," Old Du replied.

Only then did Shang Zhen realize that the squad of soldiers he met seemed a little different from the other people in the independent brigade.

A few minutes later, when Shang Zhen and Lao Dutouer, Ma Changgui and other soldiers arrived at a woods on a hillside of the mountain, Shang Zhen was surprised.

The trees here are very dense, but it does not prevent Shang Zhen from seeing that there are bags of food thrown under the trees.

Although the number of bags was not increased due to the need for food security, there must be at least forty or fifty bags of food within Shang Zhen's sight, and there were more in places he couldn't see!

Just when Shang Zhen had a feeling of regaining what he had lost and was about to say something, Old Du spoke up at the right time: "We didn't want the food to be burned by the Japanese devils, so the ten of us moved most of the night yesterday!"
