Until dawn, the knife still didn't come back, and Shao Fei couldn't help but be a little worried. According to the time, he should have come back a long time ago, there must have been an accident.

At this time, the pillar walked over, also worried, and asked, "Captain, will something happen to the knife?"

"No waiting."

Shao Fei prepared to go to the east to find the traces of yesterday's rescue team. At this time, he found that the lazy soldiers around him were all lying on the lawn with their strength and weakness, like a mess of mud.

And they can't be blamed for that. From yesterday afternoon to now, not to mention the long march, they have not advanced a drop of rice. Man has to eat.

But Shao Fei has no choice, no matter how big he is, it is impossible for him to give birth to food.

"Let's hold on and find a village to eat."

If you want to revive the mud, you can only lure it with food.

Shao Fei's move really had a magical effect, and some soldiers immediately cheered up, and their angry eyes immediately bloomed with infinite light.

Eating is always more important than fighting, so why don't you become a soldier? What "defending the family and defending the country" and "killing the enemy to become benevolent" are all nonsense, and that is the official master fooling people. Eating always comes first.

Subsequently, Shao Fei led his troops to the east, and soon came to a village. However, the people of this village were so miserable because of the war that they themselves were starved, so how could they have any surplus food to feed these hungry ghosts and reincarnated fellows.

In desperation, Shao Fei led his troops to continue eastward, and the morale of the troops began to plummet. The soldiers were weak and moved very slowly.

The group lasted until noon, still not finding anything to eat.

The soldiers suffered during the war, and the people suffered even more. Especially in the area where the forces of the two sides are intertwined, a random army can eat a place poor, and if there are devils, the people will be even more miserable. And this point, Shao Fei didn't expect before.

After passing through a sweet potato field, some soldiers were really hungry and panicked, and rushed directly into the people's fields to dig out the unripe sweet potatoes directly, and wiped them with dirty clothes and stuffed them into their mouths without washing. And Shao Fei could only open his eyes and close his eyes as if he didn't see it.

At this moment, the pillar led the team to run from the front and reported: "I found it, it is at the mountain pass ahead, and it is about five miles to enter the mountain." ”

"How many?"

"Four or five hundred, most of them are prisoners of the Sichuan army who were rescued yesterday. As for the clothes of the common people that those people wear, but they do not look like bandits, but more like professionally trained soldiers. ”

Zhuzi's answer made Shao Fei even more curious, so he shouted at those Sichuan soldiers: "Let's go, don't you want to see your brothers and fellow countrymen?" They're right in front. ”

Shao Fei's words made these soldiers cheer up a little, and hurriedly hurried to the mountain pass.

Entering the mountain, there are steep mountain walls on both sides, and there is only one mountain road in the middle, which is an excellent place for defense.

As the troops were approaching, a man suddenly stood up from behind the rocks in the middle of the mountain. The people were dressed in costumes, holding a 38 cover in his hand, and his gun was very standard, and he rushed down and shouted: "Who are you? ”

Shao Fei looked at the rocks and shrubs on the mountain wall, although only one person appeared, at least there was a platoon of troops ambushed on it.

The company commander of the Sichuan Army stepped forward and replied: "We are the Sichuan Army, I heard that you saved our people last night, let's come and have a look." ”

The man smiled: "Brother Chuanjun, let me ask you, is the 'Falcon' among you?" ”

Shao Fei was shocked when he heard it, it seemed that the knife was caught by them. But who can catch him with a knife, sometimes even he may not be able to win easily.

Shao Fei stepped forward and shouted, "I am the commander of the Falcon, let me ask you, did you arrest me last night?" ”

The man smiled proudly: "That kid, he infiltrated the team as a spy, and was discovered by our captain at a glance." But the skills are not bad, and I can play a few rounds with our captain. ”

Captain, it seems that he is really not a bandit. Maybe it's a guerrilla group operating in the area. Shao Fei thought so in his heart now, but he never expected that the "captain" in that person's mouth would surprise him.

The man on the hill shook his hand and said loudly, "Let's go, our captain is already impatient." ”

So, Shao Fei led the team to move on.

Not long after walking, at the intersection of the road in front of a cottage, a person with a small team of people was waiting for Shao Fei here.

Shao Fei was shocked when he saw it, the comrade-in-arms who was officially separated in Qianshan: Yi Ren. No wonder Knife is no match for him.

"Brother! Meet again. ”

Yi Ren smiled and stepped forward to greet him, with a hint of pride. This is like the last time we met, he was full of confusion.

Shao Fei's excitement at this time was indescribable, and he directly stepped forward and hugged him vigorously, saying, "I finally found you." ”

Yi Ren pushed Shao Fei away, with the same excitement on his expression, and asked, "Looking for me?" ”

"Yes, you're the first and the last. I found Zhao Fei and Gao Xiaowei. ”

"Really. Where is Zhao Fei now!? ”

Yi Ren seemed to become even more excited, and he had been struggling to find Zhao Fei's whereabouts all this time.

Shao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a long story, first call these people into the village and give them something to eat." ”

Speaking of eating, Yi Ren's expression became very difficult. Originally, there was not much food, but yesterday more than 400 people came at once, almost eating him poor, and now more than 100 mouths have come.

"What's wrong?"

"To tell you the truth, we don't have much food, we could have lasted about ten days, but now we can only last one or two days at most."

"I'm talking about eating, I'll find a way."

"Okay."

Subsequently, Shao Fei asked Zhuzi to enter the cottage to arrange for these people to rest and eat, and he discussed things with Yi Ren.

The two came to the edge of the ridge, and Shao Fei asked directly: "Why did you arrest my people." ”

Yi Ren turned around and said, "Catch him and bring you here, see if you can find here." As for that kid, he has good skills and perfect physical fitness, and you taught him? ”

Shao Fei smiled and said nothing, a little helpless.

Yi Ren asked bluntly, "Where is Zhao Fei now?" I'm going to take the troops to him now. ”

"He is in a place called Qingshui Town in the south of Qianshan, and now his name is Zhao Hongfei. Why are you so obsessed with Zhao Fei? ”

"Heh~" Yi Ren chuckled lightly and said, "Because he is the best soldier I have ever seen." If you talk about special operations, maybe he is not your opponent, and you don't know how to grow your brain; But in regular combat, he's an absolute genius. You, Shao Fei, are at most a staff officer, but he can lead thousands of troops. ”

Saying that, Yi Ren looked at the cottage in front of him and sighed: "I can bring more than a hundred people at most, and I plan to let those Sichuan troops go today." I only feel now that the boss is really not good. The troops had to eat, they had to be clothed, and they had to have medicine if they were wounded. They have overloaded me. ”

"You can't go now, and neither can those Sichuan troops. Now I desperately need that strength. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Shao Fei was immersed and replied: "The Japanese army occupied Minshan and directly threatened the nearly 100,000 defenders of Jinqiao. General Xue Yue will inevitably send troops to recapture Minshan, and we will lead our troops to cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army and assist the national army in recapturing Minshan. ”

Yi Ren was surprised and asked, "Do you know Xue Yue?" ”

"I've had a relationship, and I'll figure out how to do it as for logistics. Is there a radio station? ”

"I didn't promise you anything."

"You'll say yes. Let's go, after this battle, you can go to Zhao Fei, and by the way, help me tell him that Gao Xiaowei and I will go to meet after the battle of Wuhan. The four of us brothers fought side by side together. ”

After speaking, the two walked to the cottage together.
