The people in the occupied areas have been living in dire straits, not only lacking food and clothing, but also being bullied and even slaughtered by the devils and puppet army.

But they would rather die on the land where their ancestors had lived for generations than die in a foreign land.

A few months ago, the 51st Army and the 57th Army under the command of Commander Yu Xuezhong in the theater behind enemy lines and a large number of guerrilla columns and three elite divisions of devils fought bloody battles in this land.

And this land of fish and rice in the Huaihe region, which is a radius of several hundred miles, has been devastated by war and has been beaten into ruins by artillery fire, and countless villages have been reduced to ashes in the raging fire.

The Chinese troops stranded behind enemy lines have suffered heavy losses, and the control area of the war zone behind enemy lines has been greatly reduced, and many places have been controlled by devils again.

In order to achieve the effect of deterrence, the little devils grabbed many people who helped the Chinese army dig trenches and carry stretchers during the war, slaughtered and burned many villages, and the radius of hundreds of miles became lifeless under the bloody control of the devils.

The Chinese army can retreat after losing the battle, but the people whose homes and fields are here cannot go, and the Chinese have a strong sense of locality.

Most of the people who have been digging for crops all their lives have been digging in the land, and when they leave the land on which they depend, they lose their source of livelihood.

The defeated army withdrew north, to a hundred miles away, but the people who remained in this area suffered, and under the bullying of the devils, many people were captured and killed, and almost every village had people wearing linen and filial piety.

Under the bayonets of the devil soldiers, many people had to help the devils do things, but once the guerrillas came back, those who helped the devils to do things would be arrested in the name of traitors, killing chickens and monkeys, and killing chickens and monkeys, another killing.

Therefore, the people living in the occupied areas are very miserable, they have been living in dire straits, and in the face of the various forces, most people have gradually learned to be a grass on the wall, talking about people when they see people, talking nonsense when they see ghosts, in order to survive, this is also a helpless thing.

"Old woman, catch those two ducks from our family, this army has won the battle, and we can't help but show it."

It's already late at night, and there are still people in Xiaowang Zhuang, and the officers and soldiers who have won the battle are treating their injuries and cooking in Zhuangzi, which is lively.

But the people who closed the door were sad and could not be happy at all, and the army had won the battle, and they, the poor people, had to come up with something to work for the army, otherwise they would not be patriotic.

"In charge, there are only two ducks left in our house, and if they are eaten by those who serve as soldiers, then there will be no more eggs to lay after that, and then ......" The skinny woman was a little reluctant.

The man with the same thin body sighed and reproached: "You have long hair and short knowledge, are two ducks important or is your life important?" You see that the people of the Liu family have been driven out, I'm afraid they will also deal with a group of traitors this time. ”

Hearing the thin man's words, the woman also trembled, and whispered worriedly: "The last time the devil came, we also sent out two ducks, and you also said that you sent the ducks to report safety...... That's a capital enemy, will you be a traitor to ......?"

"It was forcibly robbed by the devil, we have no rivals, don't talk nonsense, so as not to attract death." The thin man hurriedly interrupted the woman.

When the woman saw her man's nervous look, she also understood what she meant, and said, "I know, then I'll go and catch the two ducks left in our family, and you will send them over later."

The thin man looked at the home with four walls, and waved his hand with a sigh: "Go."

Soon, two large fat ducks were caught from the cage and their feet were tied.

"You just stay at home, I'll go back."

The man grabbed the two fat ducks, opened the deadbolt, and walked along the potholed village road towards the central barre.

In the barnyard, the guerrillas dressed in mottled military uniforms and the brothers brought by Yang Ling all stayed here to rest, and the captured weapons were piled up as high as a hill.

"Lao Wang, you also go over."

The thin man had just taken two steps out of the house with two struggling fat ducks, and with a creak, the door to the opposite door was opened.

His neighbor also went out with half a bag of rice, and when he saw the fat duck carried by the thin man, he was also stunned, and then nodded.

"Let's go, let's go over together." The thin man sighed and beckoned his neighbor to come along.

Soon, people from every family came out, either taking some grain, or carrying chickens, ducks, dried fish and other things, and they all walked silently to the barn.

"Fellow, what are you doing here?"

The sentry standing guard outside the barn was a brother brought by Yang Ling from the 74th Army, and when he saw such a large group of people carrying these chickens, ducks, fish and meat, and carrying food, he was also stunned and puzzled.

"Boss, didn't you win the battle, although we are ordinary people, but we also hate the little devils, you have a bad anger for us Chinese, let's take something to reward the bosses, things are not good, don't dislike it, please accept it."

"Yes, yes, let's treat the bosses with something, the bosses have worked hard to fight devils."

These people, who were holding all kinds of things in their hands, all squeezed out stiff smiles one after another.

"It's our job to fight devils, and you're too polite."

Seeing these people who enthusiastically came to offer condolences with things, the sentry on duty was also embarrassed and hurriedly said.

"Boss, then we won't be able to bother, so we'll put things here." The old man in the lead said and beckoned the people behind him and said, "The big guys have put down their things, let's go back."

These villagers were also familiar with the food, chickens and ducks they were carrying, and then without waiting for the sentry to react, they left one after another.

"What's going on?" Seeing the commotion here, Wang Huzi came over with two brothers.

"Report to the sir, these fellows said that they were for the labor army and sent us some food, and they put down their things and left." The sentry hurriedly stood up and saluted, then pointed to a large pile of things.

Seeing these bundled chickens and ducks and bags of grain, Wang Huzi grinned: "Who the hell said that the people behind the enemy line are not patriotic, this is a good proof, there is money to contribute, and there is strength to contribute, this is called the all-people war of resistance."

"Don't look at it, move to the yard, since it's the villagers who treat us, then we can't waste a piece of people's kindness, let's accept it."

Wang Huzi didn't think much about it, but when he saw so many things, he suddenly had a good impression of the people of Xiaowangzhuang, and beckoned the brothers to move things.

The brothers were also happily moving the things sent by the people to the Liu family's compound, and for a while the chickens and ducks were fluttering, so it was not lively.

When Yang Ling heard the commotion outside, he also walked to the door and looked out, and saw that Wang Huzi was directing the brothers to carry chickens and ducks to the courtyard and carry food, and he was also puzzled.

"Beard, where did you get these things?" Yang Ling asked.

"Tuanza, sent by the villagers in the village, saying that it was a reward for our victory—" Wang Huzi replied with a smile.

Yang Ling also didn't expect the people behind the enemy to love their troops so much, and he still thought that he would win more battles in the future, and he couldn't let them be bullied by devils anymore.

"Since it's a good intention, then accept it, and remember to go to the door tomorrow to thank you." Yang Ling commanded.

"Yes!"

"Thank you, it's good not to pursue them for collaborating with the enemy." Hearing Yang Ling's words, Zhang Liechen in the room also opened his mouth.

Zhang Liechen said in a weird manner: "Sir Yang, don't look at their enthusiasm for sending it to us, the devil is here, maybe it will be more than now."
