The country is broken

This Eighth Route Army trial platoon with the main purpose of military training is like an old sow consumed with bean curd residue, and flies bitten with fat meat. base.

Each battle broke out very quickly, sometimes even very suddenly, and ended very quickly. It was only a matter of firing two shots. The goal of the combat with a teaching nature was not to kill a large number of enemies, or even just to kill an ordinary soldier. And the enemies were in trouble, and most of the time, the rehearsal rehearsals were on endless runs. Faced with such a huge number of enemies, if they did not maintain high mobility, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army wanted to eat dumplings for the New Year. , I don’t want to be made dumplings by the enemy.

Frequent battles, the growth of the recruits is obvious, the original frizzy personality gradually disappeared in the constant actual combat, the battlefield is the place where people can be tempered the most, Li Wei and Fan Guowen saw that these original qualities are extremely poor The recruit Danzi grew into a qualified Eighth Route Army soldier in a short period of time, and the sense of accomplishment is extremely strong. Back then, it took them more than a year to grind from recruits to veterans who performed well on the battlefield.

Due to the large-scale invasion of the main force of the Japanese army, people in many villages were forced to relocate. When Li Wei and the others passed through the local villages, they often found that many villages had already been deserted and the walls were cleared. With hot kang and hot rice, sometimes Li Wei and others had to eat cold food for a few days.

After a brief fire contact with the enemy brigade, Fan Guowen, as a temporary platoon leader, followed the simple map and compass and led the team to quickly move out of the attack range of the Japanese army. The enemy's artillery was almost staring at their heels. It fell, and the blasted frozen soil and slush flew all over the sky. The soldiers in the trial rehearsal ran all the way along the complicated terrain in a panic. And a case of canned meat. [

I have to say that the work of the Japanese transport brigade workers is very good, so that the brothers in the Eighth Route Army's trial rehearsal even saved logistical supplies.

Panting and running for twenty miles.Li Wei and the others slowed down and slowed down their pace. There were only twenty or so people in the trial rehearsal. If the Japanese army wanted to find them in the complicated hilly area, it was almost like finding a needle in a haystack. If they scattered their forces and cast a net, I am afraid that the local armed forces in the base area will take the opportunity to divide and annihilate, precisely because of this.It was Li Wei and the others who repeatedly found trouble with the Japanese army out of fear.

After covering up the tracks and confirming the work of getting rid of the enemy, the trial platoon turned eastward and traveled more than ten miles, and found a village.

This is relatively close to the Japanese-controlled area. Generally speaking, the awareness of the masses is not as high as that in the base areas, but if they can do a good job in safety, they can still settle down. After so many days of eating and sleeping in the wild, the soldiers have not had a meal for a long time. The bowl of hot soup is ready, and I urgently need a warm kang head to take a good rest.

Ahead was a village close to the Japanese blockade.Li Wei and the others raised their vigilance.The skirmish line is automatically opened, and two light machine guns are responsible for the left and right wings, forming a small defensive counterattack formation.Leaned towards the village.

In the absence of hijacking by mass intelligence lines, no one can guarantee whether there is a trap waiting for them in front of them. Extreme methods used in war are almost common.

During the anti-sweeping campaign last year, Li Wei suffered from the losses of the Bangbang team. He was particularly vigilant, and he refined his true energy to silently improve his sensory perception ability, carefully distinguishing any suspicious signs of trouble. It is undeniable that the Japanese army and There are also a few terrifying opponents in the puppet army, and Li Wei is not afraid to take it lightly.

sand! ~

There was an almost extremely subtle sound of grass branches rubbing against the roadside on the right.Li Wei's ears immediately caught this trace of strangeness, his complexion changed, his hands moved, and he made a defensive gesture.

The movement that was almost accepted by the second battalion as standard tactical sign language received an immediate response, and all the soldiers quickly and cautiously approached, matching the terrain, forming a small defensive battle formation, and all their guns were loaded.Seeing all directions, listening to all directions, scanning the surroundings for any strange places as if facing an enemy.

Li Wei silently stopped the two veterans from approaching him, and walked alone to the place where the sound sounded, while pulling out the fighting thorn with one hand to prepare. For him, the reaction efficiency of using the fighting thorn was faster than using a gun.

The ruthless state of mind honed on the Asura battlefield still had some changes in response to unknown threats. Li Weiping slowed down his breathing and approached the side of the road while concentrating on sensing the surrounding movements.

Pushing aside the dead grass and vines on the side of the road, Li Wei felt that he was close to the target, and seemed to be able to hear the faint sound of breathing in the seemingly messy haystack in front of him.

After listening for a while, Li Wei seemed to have figured out something, his expression relaxed a little, he locked the rifle trigger on his back behind his back, the fighting thorn swung left and right with a slight whistling, and the nearby grass and vines broke one after another. Make a way.

Pushing away some suspicious haystacks, Li Wei was still stunned despite his mental preparation.

A little girl with a messy body and a braid tied with a red string stared at Li Wei with tired eyes. Only a trace of despair in her big eyes could show that she was still a living thing. Her small hands were still red from the cold, she only had thin torn clothes on her body, no shoes on her feet, and the insteps of her feet were covered with bloodshot chilblains.

Behind the little girl was a younger boy, staring at Li Wei childishly with big eyes. The boy was holding a toddler in his arms. But it was skinny, dying with eyes closed.

The three children seemed to have been frightened stupidly, and they were motionless. The little girl guarded the little boy and toddler behind her like an old hen guarding her chicks. She stared at Li Wei nervously. I don't know if it was because of fear or the cold. , the small body trembled slightly.

Li Wei didn't say a word, he threw down the fighting stab and rifle, unbuttoned his coat, took off his cotton padded jacket, wrapped the three children tightly together, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, we are the Eighth Route Army!"

Maybe it was suppressed for a long time, as if he had found his relatives, the little boy grinned and howled hoarsely, tears pouring out unceasingly, the little girl also bit her lips tightly, two lines of tears overflowed, and began to sob.

"Guowen?! Find a camp and cook some porridge!" Li Wei turned around and shouted to his comrades who were still nervously waiting not far away.

The soldiers in the trial rehearsal acted quickly, dug a hole on the spot, set up a small pot, dug a few shovels of snow, untied the rice bags they had just snatched, and cooked porridge.

The two soldiers also took off their cotton coats, wrapped the three children tightly, and placed them in the temporary camp.

With the warmth of the fire, the faces of the three children improved. The little boy and the little girl stared at the bubbling porridge with hungry eyes.

Li Wei and Fan Guowensheng handed two bowls to the two children. The little girl gave them a grateful look, and immediately she and the little boy held the bowls while blowing cold air while drinking in small sips.

After the toddler smelled the aroma of rice soup, he opened his closed eyes and eagerly swallowed the porridge fed by soldiers from the Eighth Route Army.

The three children seemed to have been hungry for a long time, and Li Wei and the others kept reminding them to drink lightly.

"Slow down, fill your stomach first, eating too much now will hurt your body, and eat the rest at night." Li Wei said with red eyes, the soldiers in the trial rehearsal just now have explored the surrounding area It's hard to imagine how these three children survived in such a cold environment and with little food and clothing. Seeing their malnutrition, Li Wei thought of how they used to be on TV. Seeing the appearance of African refugees appearing on the people of his own race, he felt uncomfortable.

The trial rehearsals were all experienced people, and they didn't feed the three children completely, but only gave them half-full portions. If people who have been hungry for a long time overeat, they may cause great harm to their bodies.

"Thank you uncle!" The little girl still had the look of "I want more", and put down the bowl reluctantly.

"Call me brother! I'm not that old!" Li Wei showed a gentle smile on his face, "Little brother, little sister, what's your name!"

"Brother, my name is Xiao Zhui and this is my younger brother, Henry Zhang!" The little girl pulled the little boy with a very sensible look.

"Where are your adults?!" Li Wei couldn't imagine who would abandon such three well-behaved and lovely children in the wilderness so affectionately.

The little girl Xiao Jing's eyes turned red, and she said sadly: "A few days ago, the Japanese came suddenly, and the people in the village fled immediately. The Japanese came too fast, and my brother and my family were dispersed. That is the village. The grandson of the second grandma’s family." She pointed to the child, and continued: "Many people in the village were captured by the Japanese, we dare not go back to the village, so we had to hide outside the village, because we were afraid that the Japanese would come I had no choice but to hide like this, my brother and I hadn’t eaten for three days, we were thirsty and hungry so we had to grab a handful of snow and eat.”

As if recalling the memories of hunger and cold, the little girl's tears kept rolling in her eyes.

"Sister, I miss Daddy!~~~" The little boy Henry Zhang thought of his family at the same time, and cried again.

Li Wei could almost imagine that the Japanese devils were everywhere hunting down the Chinese people. These three poor children hid helplessly like frightened rabbits, without food or drink, silently waiting to die of cold and hunger.

"Damn it, you fucking devil." Li Wei and Fan Guowen cursed in low voices together

"Squad Leader Four, take a few brothers to continue searching around the village to see if there are any hidden villagers!" Li Wei was still worried that there would be surviving villagers still struggling in predicament.
