Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 268 Chapter 267, Capture and Commemoration
"Hey, hey, hey... Try harder... Hey, hey, hey... Move forward..."

On the mountain road heading east from the truck convoy, the comrades of the mortar squad shouted slogans in unison, carrying an engine on wooden poles, and walked towards Liangjia Village step by step.

Their platoon leader, Comrade Li Yuexuan, was still leisurely carrying a gun and holding a slingshot, shooting birds leisurely in the front.

Whoosh... snap... quack... a pheasant was hit on the head by a reddish-brown bullet, ending its short life. Then, a soldier walked up quickly, cut the pheasant's neck with a tactical knife to let the blood out, and then plucked the feathers and put them away. Chicken feathers are good, they can be used to make arrow feathers, which is also a good thing these days. You said to make it into a feather duster? That's fine! No one would object to making it into a shuttlecock!

When the team finally arrived at Liangjia Village, Zhao Danian and his team were already waiting at the entrance of the village, watching with a smile on their faces.

"Comrade Youshun, you went out and took out a squadron and captured their squadron leader. Did you bring back any spoils?" Xing Weiguo joked.

"What are the things? I just brought back some of the Japanese's canned goods, watches, telescopes and other miscellaneous items. Captain Li is in Nanshan, and our captain has to discuss the rest with Captain Li!" said Li Yuexuan.

"Okay, I'll go down and discuss with Captain Li how to divide the spoils! We have a lot of spoils but few people, and we really don't know how to divide the spoils. I'm so worried..." said Zhao Danian.

"You can just show off..." Zhu Xingyu smiled and looked at his captain who was proud of himself, and then said: "The two technicians Huang Tianyang and Chen Mo are already on their way back, and the people are also returning. We will be able to resume production soon! Comrade Youshun, you will be busy again in the future!"

"It's normal to be busy, I'm just afraid of not being busy! Comrades, send this engine directly to the original gun workshop!" Li Yuexuan shouted.

Soon, the engine was put into the village workshop. As for whether this engine could be used as power output for production? He had no control over that.

It was soon evening, and the people who had been sleeping outside for several days finally returned home! At this time, the original people in Liangjia Village were only women and children, but there were more people from Yinjiulang Village and Weijia Village. Fortunately, Yinjiulang Village and Weijia Village were small villages, but Liangjia Village was a big village, which was more than enough to accommodate these people.

Of course, the people are unwilling to stay in other people's homes forever. After all, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as one's own thatched nest, and nowhere is worse than home! But now, the devils are still sweeping, and no one dares to say whether the devils will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. So, for the time being, they can only live here temporarily.

Of course, there are also people who are not willing to live in other people's homes. Because in just these few days, some people have built some wooden houses in the mountains and plan to live in the mountains for a long time.

No one had any objection to this! These people just lived in the mountains, relying on a little space beside the woods, and cultivated a little bit of land to grow food. But these could not guarantee their survival, so they had to go down the mountain most of the time and dig for food in their own fields.

This is the sorrow of the people in this era, living a precarious life, unable to return home, afraid to farm the land, and facing life threats at any time!
Fortunately, there are Eighth Route Army troops stationed in Liangjia Village, so the villages east of here are safe...

At night, in the forest outside the village, Li Yuexuan led the comrades from the cooking squad and the comrades from the vanguard squad, holding the flashlights they had just seized today, and walked in a line. In the wild boar forest farther away, a row of comrades, each holding a pine torch, walked in a line in the woods.

"Wow, a whole nest of cicada monkeys!" Li Yuexuan's flashlight was the biggest and brightest, so he was the first to see the cicada monkeys huddled together on the tree trunk. "Haha, get into the bowl!" Li Yuexuan held the flashlight in one hand and grabbed the cicada monkey that was still struggling to climb up with the other hand, and threw it into the pottery jar in Xu Hongying's hand.

"Third brother, there is movement under the feet!" Xu Hongying didn't have a flashlight, so she was responsible for holding it, but her ears were good, so she spoke quickly.

"Brother, I heard it! Look at my feet..." As Li Yuexuan spoke, he shone the flashlight on his leather sandals. Then, everyone found that a cicada monkey, half the size of a thumb, was struggling to climb up his soles, with one of its pincers already grabbing Li Yuexuan's feet.

Li Yuexuan picked up the cicada monkey that dared to attack him and threw it into the pottery jar. Then he swept the light across the ground and saw cicada monkeys crawling all over the ground. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh that there were so many cicada monkeys at this time! Such a scene only happened in his childhood memories in his previous life. When he grew up, there were no so many cicada monkeys.

He was only five or six years old at that time, right? His mother was still young, and no one in the village liked to catch these things, only children would catch them. At that time, he would search under the two rows of poplar trees in front of his house, and he could catch more than 100 cicada monkeys in one night. Then, his mother would salt them and fry them for him the next day.

He had never been seriously ill since he was a child, until he was 18 years old, at most he had a shot in the buttocks, so his immunity was really good. Perhaps it had something to do with the cicada monkeys he had been eating since he was a child!

Unfortunately, when he was in his teens, people laughed at him, saying that it was embarrassing for him to still catch this at such an age...

Then… when he was in his thirties, the villagers, young and old, went to the woods to catch cicada monkeys. The woods were full of flashlight beams, and there were more people than cicada monkeys! When catching grasshoppers, when I was a kid, everyone used fly swatters to swat them, and basically they would be smashed to pieces with one swipe.

But there were a lot of grasshoppers at that time, and he could catch more than a pound of grasshoppers in one trip! Of course, the grasshopper swatter he modified from his own small fishing net was also learned by others, and he didn't pay any patent fees.

At that time, when we caught grasshoppers, we would pick them, clean them, soak them in salt, and let my mother fry them to eat!

Now, he has suddenly traveled back to the Anti-Japanese War period, but he doesn’t know if his elderly mother can bear the pain of losing him?

Thinking of this, Li Yuexuan's eyes became moist, and he quickly pretended to wipe the sweat to cover it up! Personal happiness is really nothing compared to fighting the devils!

Ask the old men in the team, which one of them does not have deep hatred? Which one of them is not sacrificing his youth and blood for the independence of this nation?

Myself, what is this? Nothing at all...

The capture operation lasted for two hours at night, and it was not until ten o'clock in the evening that it stopped! Of course, the capture of cicada monkeys is not continuous, but it is a trip, stop for more than ten minutes, and then another trip! And the effect tonight? ? Yan Jinghuai said that there will be enough food for tomorrow's day, enough for the whole team! Well, it's almost enough to be eaten as a meal!
The only downside is that it consumes a bit too much salt... PS: Sorry for posting late
