The soldiers of the quartermaster office were resting in a wood, and they could already see more and more houses a few hundred meters ahead, and behind them was a wall more than three meters high, and there was a county town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Chong and Zheng Youjian had already taken a few people to the city to check the situation, and the rest of the people were resting in this forest and eating the little food left.

Little Stone held an open Japanese can in his hand and two thin wooden sticks in his hand to use as chopsticks for eating, and handed it to the little girl.

"Eat it." Small Stone Road.

"I'm not hungry, my brother eats!" The little girl was naturally hungry when she looked at the cans, but she was really sensible.

"Nonsense, I haven't eaten for a long time, how can I not be hungry." Little Stone stroked the little girl's hair in distress.

The little girl, including everyone in the quartermaster's office, had already washed her face in a fairly clean puddle, and the little girl's face had also become clean, her skin was slightly dark, which was sunburned on weekdays, but she was so thin that it was obvious that she was usually short of clothes and less to wear.

"Brother take a bite, Nan Nan take a bite." The girl named Xiao Nan took out a piece of meat from the can, but handed it to Xiao Shi.

Little Stone smiled happily, although he was only a young man, he suddenly felt that he was already an adult, just like his mother who took care of him when he was a child.

Seeing that Xiao Shi ate the piece of meat, Xiao Nan also smiled happily, and put a piece of meat in her mouth.

But how much food can be in a can?

After a while, he saw that there were only a few pieces of meat in it, but Xiao Nannan refused to eat it anymore, and Xiao Shi was naturally reluctant to eat it, so the box of canned food pushed each other between the brothers and sisters who had just become a young man.

At this time, Murong Pei walked over, but put the half box of cans in his hand in front of them.

Xiaoshi was about to excuse himself, but Murong Pei shook his hand and smiled, but he pointed to Huo Xiaoshan on the edge of the woods, but it turned out that Huo Xiaoshan sent it over.

Seeing that Huo Xiaoshan was nodding to him, Xiao Shi glanced at his head gratefully, and took the canned food that he originally only had a few pieces of meat left, but he put the canned food that Murong Pei had just sent in front of Xiao Nannan.

Murong Pei walked back to Huo Xiaoshan's side and sat down next to Huo Xiaoshan, seeing Huo Xiaoshan looking thoughtful, he was very distressed, because Huo Xiaoshan had lost weight again in the past few days.

So she smiled and said, "This place is not good, not as good as when we stayed in the old woods, when we were not hungry." ”

Huo Xiaoshan also smiled when he heard her say this: "There is mud everywhere in this water, I guess I can't touch the fish in the water, can I find a few big loaches in the sky?" ”

It's just that after he said this, his face returned to the same appearance as it had been.

"Shanzi, what do you want?" Murong Pei saw a kind of sadness and helplessness in Huo Xiaoshan's eyes that had never appeared before.

"There are too many people drowning in the flood this time." Huo Xiaoshan was silent for a while before sighing softly.

Murong Pei was speechless.

It had been two days since they crossed the river, and along the way they saw hungry people with houses that had been washed away by the flood, and corpses that had been swollen and white by the blisters in the shallow water.

But the soldiers of the Quartermaster Department couldn't help it, although they still had some food in their hands, but Huo Xiaoshan strictly forbade giving food to the victims, because they had to maintain the most basic physical strength needed for battle.

The Japanese still did not give up on rounding them up, and they had two more skirmishes with the Japanese in the past two days.

Although they all rushed out, Huo Xiaoshan already felt that something was wrong, and it was obvious that the Japanese army had a relatively clear understanding of them: the number of people dressed as Japanese soldiers, who could speak Japanese, and about 100.

So after they entered the densely populated area, they found that there was such a situation, and the Japanese army was more protective of their own people than the people who spoke Chinese!

So Huo Xiaoshan decided to change his clothes.

Many of them still wore national army clothes, but it was impossible to wear them in enemy-occupied areas, so after arriving in this county seat, Huo Xiaoshan asked Shen Chong and Zheng Youjian to go to the city to get the people's clothes.

"Yaya." Huo Xiaoshan suddenly called out to Murong Pei in a very low voice.

Murong Pei listened to his extremely low voice, obviously saying something to himself that he didn't want others to hear, so he leaned his ear over.

"Yaya, you're right." Huo Xiaoshan said such a sentence thoughtlessly and then stopped talking.

Murong Pei didn't understand at first, but after turning his head and seeing Huo Xiaoshan's scorching and shining gaze looking at him, he already understood that Huo Xiaoshan meant that he was right to join the Communist Party!

Although he had never mentioned this matter to Huo Xiaoshan, the two of them knew the same thing in their hearts, how could Murong Pei's always Bolshevik tendencies become a military commander spy without explanation?

Although it is said that the secret front of the Communist Party has its own strict discipline, Murong Pei naturally will not talk about it to anyone, but she knows in her heart that it is impossible to hide it from her own Xiaoshanzi in this matter, and she does not want to hide it.

It's just that with the growth of experience and the growth of experience in fighting various enemies, neither she nor Huo Xiaoshan will say many things in the open.

Huo Xiaoshan was right when he said it, and Murong Pei naturally understood the inner meaning of what he said at this time.

After the flood, the lives were devastated and mourned all over the wilderness, and who caused this, of course, it can be said that it was caused by the Japanese invaders.

But is it really caused by the Japanese? In private, Huo Xiaoshan's analysis showed that the cause of the flood probably came from the Nationalist Government.

Murong Pei didn't understand why Huo Xiaoshan had such an opinion at that time, but Huo Xiaoshan only said one sentence and Murong Pei understood, that sentence was "The Yellow River was diverted and flooded, and the Chinese army was the biggest beneficiary." ”

After the Battle of Xuzhou, the Chinese army needed time to rest and recuperate, and a new line of defense was needed, and the Japanese army was catching up, and the Japanese high command was fine, would it send bombers to blow up the Yellow River embankment? Can it be exploded and not said, but there is really no such motive!

And if the Chinese army does not stop the Japanese army, then it is very likely to reproduce the passive situation that the Japanese army chased after the national army after the end of the Battle of Songhu, and this is how the city of Nanjing was defeated!

And the Yellow River burst at this time, who did it, do you need to ask?

It is also a good idea to hold back the enemy with water, but have the magnates of the national government ever seen the mourning after the flood? Can a government make so many people die at once in order to stop the enemy?

Although Murong Pei didn't know how many people would be drowned in this flood, this number was definitely unimaginable!

120,000? One hundred and twenty thousand? Or millions?!

In Murong Pei's opinion, Huo Xiao's heart was extremely angry at that time, although her own Xiaoshanzi covered it well, she still felt it.

If he hadn't been born in troubled times in order to fight devils, he wouldn't have killed and eaten meat, but an order from the national government made thousands of people die, so what else can this government make the people nostalgic?

Murong Pei was contemplating, and he unintentionally looked up, but saw that someone was already in front of him.

"Shanzi, Shen Chong and they are back." Murong Pei said.

"Hmm." Huo Xiaoshan motioned that he had seen it too.

Seeing Shen Chong and them appear in the distance carrying large bags and small wraps, they had obviously already gotten the clothes of ordinary people.

"Where are we going? The devil is chasing after him very closely. Murong Pei asked again.

"After crossing the Huai River first, we will either find a large army, or enter the Dabie Mountain, and we will not be afraid of the devils chasing you." Huo Xiaoshan replied, and then sighed: "If you don't have a place to stay, you can't do it, it can only be a rootless rogue under your feet!" ”
