The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2323: Gather another team, female!

One day later, when Shang Zhen appeared in front of a pile of ruins, someone shouted in surprise: "I know you."

The one who was speaking was a young man, and behind him were all women.

Shang Zhen just nodded in greeting. What else could he say? He couldn't even smile to show his goodwill.

The reason is that the village he arrived at, which had become a ruin, was the village where his youngest sister lived.

It can be imagined that the survivors in the village are burying or have already buried their relatives, and not laughing at this time is a kind of respect for the deceased.

Shang Zhen secretly climbed down the mountain last night.

As for how to climb down the steep mountain wall in the dark, it was not difficult for Yu Shangzhen.

He simply took off his leggings and put them together, then used the leggings as ropes to tie them to the tree and went down along the leggings.

His leggings were quite long, more than three meters when added together.

Of course it was impossible for him to climb down directly with a rope that was more than three meters long, but that didn't matter. He tied an escape knot on the leggings and tied it to the tree. He pulled the rope down to find the next tree, and then shook the rope buckle with his hands to open it.

Then he tied the rope again and went down along the rope to find another foothold.

This process continued until we climbed down the steep slope.

After coming down from the mountain, Shang Zhen started to move out. He was hungry and had no energy to fight with the Japanese army.

Since he had nothing to eat, he had to find something to eat, so he ran out at night.

Originally, he wanted to go to Xiyazi's village, but he was not familiar with the road. When dawn came, he saw the ruins in the valley. Wasn't that the village of Yaomeizi?

Those people know him now, and of course he also knows them.

The young man was the third distant brother of the youngest sister. The youngest sister said his name was Little Leopard. As for the dozen or so young women, they were the young girls and wives he rescued last time.

"It's good that you know me. If you have anything to eat, find me some." Shang Zhen said.

After hearing what Shang Zhen said, Little Leopard said, "There's nothing delicious, but I found some burnt wheat."

"As long as it's edible." Shang Zhen replied.

After more than ten minutes, not only did Shang Zhen have a mouth full of black food, but the hands of those young girls and wives were also covered in black.

The reason was that Shang Zhen ate burnt wheat grains.

No one knew whose wheat grains came from in the village, but they were all wheat ears that had never been shorn of straw.

The Japanese devils set fire to all the houses in the village.

Shang Zhen didn’t know where the family hid the wheat, but it was not burned thoroughly.

So the wheat was just like the wheat that was burned during the wheat harvest in Northeast China. Although some of it was burnt, there were also some that were half-burnt and were edible after all.

But the wheat had not been threshed and had to be rubbed by hand, so both Shang Zhen, who was eating the wheat grains, and the young girls and wives who were rubbing the wheat grains for him were covered in the smell of soot.

Shang Zhen was busy with the battle march for a whole day and night. After eating and drinking, he said goodbye to Xiao Baozi and the others, found a ruin and lay down to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already afternoon. When he opened his eyes, he saw Little Leopard and several young girls and wives looking at him eagerly.

"Commander, you're awake!" The young girls and wives shouted happily.

When he woke up, the next thing he did was to eat. He ate wheat grains, but the girls and wives cooked the wheat grains in an iron pot and made wheat porridge. Someone also picked cucumbers from the vegetable garden, and Shang Zhen ate them with relish.

After eating and drinking again, Little Leopard said to Shang Zhen: "Sir, we still want to fight the devils."

After the little leopard finished speaking, the young girls and wives began to agree with him.

The women spoke Hubei dialect, and Shang Zhen didn't quite understand what they were saying.

But the general meaning is not much different, that is, everyone in their family was killed by the Japanese devils, and there was nothing they could do except to seek revenge.

If it was not Shang Zhen but any other National Army officer, he might not agree to bring these women to fight against Japan.

But Shang Zhen had seen the Eighth Route Army fight guerrilla warfare after all, and his ideas about the national war of resistance were different from those of the Kuomintang officers.

"Okay." Shang Zhen replied with a simple word and everyone cheered.

"But..." Shang Zhen motioned for the women to be quiet and continued, "We still need to slowly discuss how you are going to fight the Japanese. I think I should get you some guns first."

The women were also equally excited when Shang Zhen said this.

But he didn't know that Shang Zhen didn't want to recruit these women as his subordinates.

To recruit a women's team under the National Army? You must be kidding! Let's not talk about the National Army's behavior. What Shang Zhen was thinking about was that he heard that there was a New Fourth Army in the Dahongshan area.

The New Fourth Army is also a Communist Party force. I can let these women join the New Fourth Army in the future. That way I will feel more at ease.

"You are the commander, do you still need a gun? Don't you have guns? I see your men all have two guns?" Little Leopard asked curiously.

"First, long guns have their uses, and short guns have their uses. We can't let you use our guns.

Second, if I could go back now, why would I come here?" Shang Zhen said to Little Leopard.

The little leopard laughed embarrassedly.

Next, Shang Zhen and Xiao Baozi discussed how to get the Japanese weapons.

In fact, whether it is the village where the little boy is located or the village where the little leopard and the youngest sister are located, they are both located on the flank and rear of the Japanese army that is attacking Qingfeng Mountain.

However, before the Japanese army attacked, they must have had intelligence that they would have cut off the road from the flank and rear, as there was no strategic location to defend and there were no Chinese troops active in the area.

The reason is that there are many mountains here and the population is small, with only a few villages, so non-locals simply cannot recognize the path.

Last time, Shang Zhen led a platoon of soldiers to ambush the Japanese army. The Japanese army had learned their lesson and it was impossible for a small group of troops to move on this road.

For example, the Japanese army had already deployed thousands of troops in the attack on Qingfeng Mountain. The Japanese troops in the front and rear had radio communication, and it was impossible for them to have communications soldiers on the road.

Therefore, it was impossible for Shang Zhen to ambush a small group of Japanese troops.

Then, his only option was to see if the locals like Xiao Baozi could lead him to the rear of the Japanese army, and then launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army at night to see if he could get some weapons.

As soon as Shang Zhen told his intention, Little Leopard and those young girls and wives started talking about it.

It is said that the power of the masses is infinite. Shang Zhen just said roughly where the Japanese troops were stationed, and the little leopard was fine, but those young girls and wives described the terrain behind the Japanese troops exactly.

The locals are like a living map!

"Sir, if you want to sneak into the Japanese military camp, you can go through the mountain. I have never been there, but my father and brother have been there when they were collecting medicinal herbs." Sure enough, a young wife said.
