Chapter 959: Halfway to the enemy
This is the strangest team Meng Shaoyuan has ever led.
A follower, two foreign women, a guide, ten guards, plus, thirty children!
It's dangerous.
Damn, less than the same.
What about the cost of raising these 30 children after they arrive in Shanghai?
That's a lot of money.
It's not easy to hand it over to charity.
Looking for someone to adopt? Even more uneasy.
No, as soon as I return to Shanghai, I have to find trouble with those traitors.
They have to pay for it!
Those traitors in Shanghai, big and small, never dreamed that it had only stopped for a few days, and the insatiable Young Master Meng was going back to Shanghai again.
They couldn't cover their wallets again.
Or the same sentence that has been repeated countless times:
It's not easy to be a traitor.
Shi Erzi is still very familiar with the road.
Along the way, he deliberately looked for paths that would allow him to avoid the Japanese.
It's just that with these children, there's really no way to go fast.
There's nowhere to get a car.
Young Master Meng, who has always been pampered in Shanghai, can be regarded as suffering a lot this time.
It's hard to take care of one child, let alone thirty.
And along the way, don't look at so many adults, but except for a second son who is married and has children, no one has any experience in taking care of children.
and eating, drinking, and Lazar, it's a headache to think about.
Dry food has been prepared for a long time, but the problem is that many children are growing up, and eating these dry foods is not nutritious.
In order to appease these children, Meng Shaoyuan has been painting a beautiful picture for them:
When they arrived in Shanghai, they could eat whatever they wanted.
Everything delicious.
People need spiritual support, and children are no exception.
Most of these children have been pampered since childhood, where have they suffered from these hardships?
Many children have only walked a short distance and are unable to walk.
You can't beat it, you can't scold it.
What to do?
Sophia and Alison fully show the gentle side of women, and they do their best to comfort and encourage the children.
There are many children who know English to a greater or lesser extent, and some are even able to communicate with them directly.
But just two women can't take care of so many children.
At a critical time, Shang Heng, who was still the eldest child, stepped forward.
He kicked a child about his age who was lying on the ground and refused to go: "Go, go." ”
"Brother Shang Heng, I really can't walk, the soles of my feet are about to blister."
"Let's go!" Shang Heng's voice raised: "Do you still want to go to Shanghai, do you want to help our parents avenge?" Get up and go! ”
The child struggled to stand up and glared at Shang Heng angrily: "Who doesn't want revenge?" Go, go! ”
More and more children stood up, gritted their teeth and walked forward.
Xiaodi suddenly cried out with a "wow": "I miss my mother, I miss my mother." ”
As soon as she finished crying, more children began to cry.
"Don't cry, little saucer!"
Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly hugged her: "Brother will take you to Shanghai, go to Shanghai." ”
That's all he can say.
It's hard to be a parent.
Just walked and stopped, coaxed and deceived for a while, and finally approached Yellowstone.
"Chief Meng."
Taking advantage of another break, Shi Erzi walked up to him and said, "After this town, it is Huangshi." The problem is that there is a detachment of the Japanese stationed there, plus two dozen puppet troops. ”
Meng Shaoyuan called Li Zhifeng over: "How is it, are you sure?" ”
"I'm not sure." Li Zhifeng said without hesitation: "With our dozen guns, break through the defense of a Japanese detachment, the failure of the surprise attack will turn into a bitter battle, not to mention the assistance of the puppet army, and once it starts, the Japanese army can be reinforced at any time." There is also a point, even if it successfully breaks out, it will arouse the vigilance of the Japanese army in other places. ”
Fuck, there's only thirteen people in a Japanese detachment, right? Plus more than 20 puppet soldiers, you won't be able to fight three with one?
Hey, if you think about it, an ordinary Japanese detachment, one machine gun, eight riflemen, and other people's machine guns will be difficult to fight.
Meng Shaoyuan frowned and thought for a moment: "Second son, is there any other way?" ”
"Yes, go around the edge of town at night." Shi Erzi immediately said: "It is estimated that it will take more than 20 miles to walk, and the key is that the children can't make too much noise." ”
"No way, go around."
Meng Shao originally thought that this was the safest way: "Go, call all the children to me." ”
Thirty children were all called over, and Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Children, let's play a game, okay?" ”
"Okay, okay." After all, he was still a child, completely forgetting the danger he was in.
"Listen, this game looks like this." Meng Shaoyuan explained carefully: "Let's sleep for a while, and at night, we have to walk a lot, but if anyone is the quietest, when they arrive in Shanghai, I will give her the most beautiful toy." ”
"What do you want?"
"Yes, no matter what toy you have your eye on, I'll give it away!"
"Good, good!"
The children cheered.
"Shh
Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly asked them to shut down: "The game can start now!" ”
There were a few clever children who immediately fell asleep.
As soon as they saw that someone had done it first, all the children fell asleep on the ground.
Looking at these lovely children, Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly while instructing Li Zhifeng to strengthen his vigilance.
"You're doing a good job, and the kids are listening to you." Sophia sat down beside him.
"These kids." Meng Shaoyuan sighed again: "At such a young age, both parents are gone, and now they are all sleeping on the ground, when have they ever suffered like this?" ”
"You did your best, Meng." Sophia comforted in a low voice: "When you get to Shanghai, you can compensate them well." ”
Perhaps, that's all there is to it.
"Anyone?"
Suddenly, Li Zhifeng let out a low sigh.
All drew their weapons.
"On the other side, is it from Dayu Bay?"
The visitor also asked in a low voice.
"It's us, which part are you?" Li Zhifeng still held his weapon tightly.
"The Fourth Route Army, the Huangshi guerrillas, my name is Xiang Yan, and I am ordered to meet you."
"Let him come over and be on guard."
"Yes!"
Xiang Yan was in his thirties, a capable person, and as soon as he came, he said, "Which one is the chief?" ”
"It's me." Meng Shao came to him: "How many people have you come?" ”
"There were five, but four of them couldn't come, just me." Xiang Yan quickly reported: "I'm still worried that I won't be able to catch up with you, there is a new Japanese squad in the town today, and those who pass by will not leave until tomorrow." ”
Everyone gasped.
Good guy, it's a good thing you didn't break through just now, otherwise it would have been all over.
"We're going to get around the town." Meng Shaoyuan said his thoughts: "Do you think there is any possibility of success?" ”
"There is, and it's the only way." Xiang Yan said without hesitation: "Go around, and then pass through Jingxiang Town, and you can join our guerrillas." Near Jingxiang Town, only a group of puppet soldiers are stationed in Linshan County, and there is about one company, which is actually about 50 people, and generally does not go to Jingxiang Town. Unless our luck is really bad. ”
"No Japanese?"
"Nope." Xiang Yan quickly replied: "Linshan County was originally a small county town, but it was almost destroyed by the Japanese bombing, and the Japanese army thought it was too poor and did not want to be stationed. They are all stationed in Xinxian County, which is very close to Linshan County, not to mention the Japanese army, even the puppet army often complains there, and the supplies sent are also not a meal, and many times they have to figure out their own way. ”
"That's it." Meng Shaoyuan also made up his mind: "At night, act!" ”
……
The night is quiet.
Thirty children, began a "game".
In order to get the toys promised by Brother Meng, these children worked hard, covering their mouths one by one and no one made a sound.
In the end, it is the children, who have walked so much.
Fluttershy was in tears, but she couldn't cry.
She was afraid that if she cried, the toys would be gone.
Sophia looks good, Fluttershy's shoes are torn, and there is a big blood blister on her foot.
She carries Fluttershy on her back.
"Everyone, responsible for carrying a child." Meng Shaoyuan commanded in a low voice: "Carry the small ones first, and the ones with bubbles on your feet." ”
This is just the beginning.
There is still a long journey from here to Shanghai.
Meng Shaoyuan thought of this and had another headache......
……
This night was considered to be a thrilling night, and the town was safely bypassed.
By the time dawn, Jingxiang Town was not far from here.
Once it was safe, a few children finally couldn't help it and cried out with a "wow".
It's good, one crying, one crying.
After persuading this, I have to appease that.
"Bang"!
Just then, a gunshot rang out.
"Hidden, hidden!"
……
A large number of puppet troops appeared.
Meng Shaoyuan looked at Yan.
Xiang Yan looked innocent: "I said that unless you are unlucky, it seems that our luck is really bad, it is the puppet army of Linshan County, the one who led the team is called Fan Changliang, we have fought for him several times, but we have not succeeded." ”
Crow's beak.
"Let's fight." Li Zhifeng took a look at the terrain: "It's still certain to defeat these puppet troops." ”
"Fan Changliang used to be in the national army and knew how to fight." Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "We have tried to fight Lin Shan a few times, but this Fan Changliang has a good command, and he can hold out until the Japanese reinforcements come every time." This place can not be fought as much as possible, if it starts, the Japanese troops in Xinxian and the town behind our butts will soon be able to reinforce us, and we will have to be caught up at that time. ”
Don't forget, there are thirty more children.
Everyone turned their eyes to Meng Shaoyuan.
See what I do?
I'm not a god.
What can I do?
Meng Shaoyuan muttered: "If you can't fight, then surrender." ”
"Huh?" Everyone blurted out.
Surrender?
At this time, the voice of the puppet army on the opposite side came again:
"Come out, all come out, or you'll be shot!"
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm out!"
Meng Shaoyuan walked out of the hiding place with something in his hand and shouted loudly!
