After everything was arranged, life in Taiyue Village was temporarily stable.

Other troops also arrived one after another, Sun Desheng has been a cavalry for most of his life, even now as an infantry battalion commander, he still thinks he is a cavalryman in his bones, "cavalry just has no horses, and it is faster than infantry", this time there is no exception, among the three battalion commanders, Sun Desheng's three battalions were the first to arrive near Taiyue.

However, unlike Han Feng and his entourage, Han Feng deliberately asked the signal soldiers to send orders to Sun Desheng, and after the arrival of the third battalion, they still carried out the order to break up in the Taiyue area, continued to fight guerrilla warfare, and tried to protect the villagers in this area from the Japanese, puppet army, and bandits, while waiting for Han Feng's next order at any time.

As for Shi Wencai's first battalion and Deng Pang's second battalion, Han Feng also had this plan, he knew too well that the current new third regiment was already strong and strong, and if so many teams appeared at the same time, the target was too big, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Japanese army in this area, and such a large group of troops must have a broad mass base as a supply, otherwise, it would be the food brought with the army, and it would be out in ten days and half a month at most.

In this case, unless the entire Taiyue region has become the base of the new Third Regiment, it will be impossible to feed so many troops.

The team can only continue to break into pieces, fight guerrilla warfare, and barely support itself.

However, the guerrilla area has been greatly reduced, and after all his three voices are assembled in this area to carry out guerrilla warfare, Han Feng only needs to disperse the communication troops, and in less than half a day, he can assemble all the teams and attack the county town occupied by the Japanese army.

As for the short days before that, even if it is a break for the team.

Early in the morning, near Taiyue, the woods are dense, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the fresh air comes in, which only makes people feel refreshed and happy.

A few days ago, Han Feng asked the monk to be responsible for exploring the surrounding situation, including the surrounding terrain and landforms, the distribution of Japanese forces, and asked the monk to draw a map.

But in addition to these, Han Feng knows that he should also know what kind of life the people in this area live.

"Lao Xu, you go out with me."

The only people who accompanied him were Han Feng and the guard Zhang Dada'er, plus the political commissar Xu Zilin and the guard Erya.

The three of them didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the head of the regiment, Han Feng.

Ten minutes later, Han Feng took the three of them to the place, which turned out to be the home of an old man in the middle of the village, just like the house in the previous village, with the same broken bricks and thatch.

The old man seemed a little surprised by the arrival of Han Feng and his party, but he still warmly entertained Han Feng and his party.

Of course, there was no such thing as hospitality, food and fruit, tea and cigarettes, and the only thing was a bowl of water scooped out of a few cracked kiln bowls.

The water is clear and sweet, but it becomes cloudy after two shakes because the bowl is not cleaned.

Han Feng didn't care about this, picked up the bowl and drank it with a bang, for a while, put down the bowl, wiped the water stains on his mouth, and said with a smile: "Old man, this water is delicious, and it has a sweet taste!" ”

Han Feng took the lead in drinking the water, and Xu Zilin and the three of them were not pampered masters, so they all held the bowl and drank a few sips.

The old man who entertained him saw that Han Feng and the four of them were not disgusted, and his face bloomed with a smile, "Head Han, when you arrive at Taiyue Village, there is nothing else, if you want to drink water, you can be full!" ”

"This water is mountain spring water, right?"

"Yes, it flows down little by little from the very high Taiyue Mountain, and it is clean."

Han Feng said with a smile: "It's a good place, there are mountains and water, the air is good, there is no shortage of water here, farming or something, as long as the seeds are sown on time, when it comes to the end of autumn, the harvest should not be small, right?" ”

The old man shook his head: "It's good, the grain in the field can't be eaten, Captain Han thinks this water is delicious, and they feel bitter when they drink it!" ”

"Why is that?"

"The grain was cut away by those who were soldiers before it was ripe, and the soldiers did not cut it, and the bandits came and robbed it, this water is delicious, but from morning to night, there is only water to drink, and I want to vomit when I drink it."

Xu Zilin and the three were silent, the hardships of the villagers here were far worse than they imagined.

Han Feng took the bowl in Zhang Dada'er's hand, and drank the remaining mountain spring water inside, "Old Xu, Dada'er, Erya, now I'll tell you, what is the purpose of our trip."

It's nothing, I just want to ask the three of you to accompany me and live here for a day in the old man's house, so that those of us who don't know the misery of the people as soldiers can experience the difficulties of being low-level people. ”

Han Feng poured out the water from the four broken bowls and stacked them together.

He said to the old man, "Old man, are you alone in this house?" ”

"Yes, just one."

"I don't have a child, an aunt or something?"

The old man smiled bitterly: "Yes, I have also married my mother-in-law, and I have given birth to a few dolls, two boys, and two pan-headed daughters...... It's just that they're all gone, the girl is starving to death, the mother-in-law is also sick, two boys, one was captured by the white dog, and he hasn't seen him since, and the other was killed by the two devils, so there's only one left!

In these years, there are wars everywhere, and people don't live like individuals! ”

"People don't live like individuals!"

The words that the old man summed up with blood and tears made the mood of Han Feng and the four of them heavier and heavier.

After a long time, Han Feng said: "Old man, look at it, life will always get better and better, the four of us came here today, and there is no other purpose, don't you always have four dolls, and we are also four now, we will give you a son and daughter for a day!" ”

"Hey, how can it be done, I can't do it!" The old man was startled.

It's just that Han Feng insisted, and the old man couldn't refuse, so he had to agree with a wry smile, so the old man, who was originally alone, suddenly became lively.

Head Han personally came to the door to be Li Laohan's son!

This is big news, and the people around Li Laohan heard about it and came to see it.

Han Feng naturally didn't care about this, first greeted Xu Zilin and the others, and spent a whole morning repairing Li Laohan's precarious house.

He was busy until noon, when Han Feng jumped down from the broken ladder, looked at Li Laohan, and exclaimed very naturally: "Dad, do you see how we have repaired your earthen house?" ”

"Okay, okay!"

If his two boys were still alive, the eldest son would be almost the same age as Han Feng, and when Han Feng suddenly called out, Li Laohan almost burst into tears.

The villagers who watched the excitement at the door were envious, and the head of the Han regiment actually called Li Laohan his father, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes!

It's just that when it's time for lunch, I've done a whole morning's work, so I can't let the four dolls have an empty stomach, right? Li Laohan hurriedly searched around the house twice, but he couldn't find a little bit to eat, so he had to go to the surrounding villagers' homes to borrow it, but the villagers' homes were already poor, and the pot could not be opened for a long time.

Returning to the house empty-handed, Li Laohan looked at his four "dolls" and smiled bitterly.

"Head Han, the house is poor, and there is really nothing to give you something to eat."

Han Feng said: "Dad, you don't have to deliberately prepare food for us, you just take what you usually eat for us, don't forget that we are all your dolls now!" ”

Li Laohan hesitated for a while, but nodded helplessly, he turned around and entered the house, rummaged over there for a while, and brought out a few plates of "food".

Elm bark!

"It was scraped down from the tree before the heavy snow, I can't bite it, I can't bite it, you dolls are still young, and you will be done!"

Xu Zilin was stunned: "Old man, you won't just eat these things to survive this winter, right?" ”

Li Laohan nodded with tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "It's good to eat here, but if you don't have anything to eat, you will starve to death if you can't even survive the winter." ”

Han Feng picked up the elm bark in silence and put it in his mouth to refuse, in addition to bitterness, it was still bitter, this kind of thing that is difficult for animals to swallow, it is hard to imagine that people not only have to eat, but also have to eat for a winter in order to continue their lives.

Xu Zilin and the three of them also picked up the elm bark and tried to chew it.

In the afternoon, I was still helping Li Laohan to work, although my stomach was not empty, but it was not as good as the feeling of being empty, and the elm bark was not easy to digest in my stomach, and the whole stomach was a little uncomfortable.

Finally, at night, at sunset, I was ready to go to bed with a tired body, but I found that the bed was there, but there was not even a little cover.

Li Laohan said: "It turned out that there was a cover, but it was all robbed by those bandits. ”

Xu Zilin said: "Then how did you come over this winter?" ”

Li Laohan walked to a corner of the firewood room, squatted on some firewood, curled up, and tried his best to wrap his naked body in clothes that did not cover his body, "Just sleep in clothes like this." ”

…… Approaching April, the weather is naturally not cold, but at night, it is naturally a little cool.

The moon is fine tonight, and after the bright North Star is the first to appear, the stars are scrambling to dot the night sky.

Zhang Daring and Erya, the brother and sister, slept in the house.

Han Feng and Xu Zilin sat side by side in the dilapidated courtyard of Li Laohan's house.

Looking at the night sky full of stars, Xu Zilin suddenly asked, "Old Han, you say, when will this war end?" ”

Han Feng said: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" ”

"The people are living too hard, if the war does not end for a day, everyone's life will be difficult every day, and every day I don't know how many people will die, even if we Chinese are enough, it can't be such a cheap way to die!"

"Don't worry, it's almost over!"

"Why do you say that?"

Han Feng said with a smile: "Because war is not the norm after all, more people still hope to live peacefully and beautifully."

Besides, with soldiers like you and me, the Eighth Route Army, and groups of faith, this country will still be in our hands sooner or later, and the people will live a better life sooner or later. ”

"Yes! Sooner or later, it will be. Xu Zilin muttered, when Han Feng said this, the confidence in her eyes gave her confidence in this......
