Wendian Village.

Jindi Mountain, near an ordinary village and town in Taiyuan.

The Xiaoluo River that flows through it makes the water source abundant, the land is fertile, the river transportation is developed, after hundreds of years of reclamation, the river bank is full of fertile fields on both sides, the population is large, it is a famous grain-producing town near Taiyuan.

When Yan Laoxi was repairing railways and highways, he built a small railway station.

After the devil came to Jindi, he also took a fancy to the food here, stationed a brigade in Wendian Village, modified the railway, expanded the railway station, and requisitioned the people to build a new road.

"It's ······"

Wang Gensheng and Zhang Dabiao came to Wendian Village, and at first glance, the scene they saw was a little different from the two.

In this cold weather, some refugees and refugees can be seen on the road.

Some people carry baskets of broken bamboo strips, some people are brave, some are pushing a small cart, and some women are carrying burlap bags and worn-out pots and pans of household belongings, carrying a family and moving along the road.

Refugees in ragged clothes and scorched faces, dragging their children and daughters.

However, these refugees have a similar place, they are wearing a shabby linen cotton coat with patches, and the inferior cotton can still be seen in the broken linen.

From time to time, devil trucks or horse-drawn carriages drove along the road, and the refugees fled in a hurry, and the first and only emotion that flashed on their numb and indifferent faces turned out to be fear.

"I came from Henan, and there was a famine over there."

Wang Gensheng, who turned into an old farmer, went to ask and figured out the origin of these refugees.

"From Henan?"

Zhang Dabiao was shocked.

Henan all the way to here, the straight-line distance is three or four hundred kilometers, this road is not close, especially for the people who have no long-distance migration ability to flee, it is really not easy to run so far.

At the same time, he also understood why the number of refugees here is relatively small, about a hundred, and there are not too many people who can flee here.

However, Zhang Dabiao still didn't understand.

That's too far away.

Moreover, how can you go to the north, even if you flee, it should be to the west or south, the power of the government in the west, the climate in the south is warm, there are more waters, and there is more food. And even if it's Xiang, how can you flee to the occupied area of the devil?

"I guess I heard that the real estate here is rich and there is a river, so I ·····"

Wang Gensheng looked at the Xiaoluo River on the side and speculated.

Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, the most important thing for refugees is food, compared with mountains and forests, next to the river, the probability of finding food to survive is greater. And in the land of wealth, it is easier to find a new way to live.

Then he asked a few more people.

Wang Gensheng looked emaciated, and after wearing shabby clothes, he looked like an old farmer who had fled, and soon won the trust of the refugees.

Unlike Zhang Dabiao, the tiger's back and bear's waist are five big and three thick, black and red, and at first glance he is a strong man who eats and drinks well all year round.

In the past, he didn't eat well, coupled with long-term battles, and his physical exertion was large, although Zhang Dabiao had wide bones last year, his physique was a little inadequate, but today's independent regiment has meat and fine grain, and he is still full, so he doesn't look like a farmer at a glance.

Wang Gensheng quickly asked the victims to flee here, and also asked why this group of refugees were able to migrate hundreds of kilometers to come here, and pointed to the devil's power area.

"These people originally wanted to go south or west, but on the way they received some food and the help of shabby linen coats, and it was thanks to these things that these people were able to get all the way here."

"And..."

Wang Gensheng's tone was puzzled: "The people who provided them with food also said that they could enter our base area, and they could get the help of the Eighth Route Army in the base area, and they could survive and find a job." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Dabiao was taken aback: "So their destination is our base?" ”

Then he frowned: "Who gave them the news?" ”

If there are people who flee into the base area, they will welcome it, and they will also provide help to let the people live in the base area, after all, the disaster victims are also ordinary people and a part of the Republic of China.

Moreover, the more civilians in the base areas, the greater the strength of the troops.

However, correspondingly, the more people who have been affected by the disaster, the greater the pressure on the base areas, after all, these people who have fled are empty, have no food, and lack clothing, and if there are too many, it will be a huge burden on the base areas.

This may be someone helping the victims, but it is also possible that the devil is deliberately consuming the materials in the base area, but the latter is unlikely, or even extremely low, and the latter behavior is almost equivalent to the enemy in the eyes of the devil.

"They don't know, either."

Wang Gensheng also frowned, he also felt very strange about this matter: "The person who gave them food and clothing did not show up, and even the notice to them to go this way was conveyed through others. ”

"No one showed up?"

Zhang Dabiao suddenly felt that this thing was strange.

"Yes."

Wang Gensheng inquired about a lot of news: "This mysterious person or force has given a lot of materials to the fleeing people, not only more than 100 people here, but more than 800 people in this batch have been helped at the same time. ”

"This group of refugees even received food help on the way, and the people who gave the food did not show up, and they didn't even organize people to distribute it, but quietly put the food next to the victims."

"That is to say..."

Zhang Dabiao's eyes pondered: "The people who provide food have been beside this group of victims. ”

However, they did not make this trip for the sake of the devil's army, and they did not have time or can send people to meet this group of refugees. Otherwise, once exposed, I am afraid that the plan will fall short.

"I'm afraid they will end up on our side in this direction·····"

Zhang Dabiao looked in the direction of the refugees, thoughtful.

"If we go around Yang Village, our people will help this group of people."

Wang Gensheng also let go of the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile: "They still have some food, which can last up to Yang Village, our group, and the grain is still relatively rich." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Dabiao also laughed.

The independent regiment is now food, just look at his black and red.

And these refugees will eventually take root and live in the base areas and become ordinary people in the base areas, and these people who have received help from the troops will be the most hardcore supporters of the army's fight against devils.

Eventually, they will get stronger and stronger, and there will be more and more troops, and one day, they will be able to drive the devils out.

Moreover, the food problem, the big boss Chen Fan said, can provide a lot of food in the future.

For a big boss who has a hundred tons of grain for a small sum, it is difficult for Zhang Dabiao to imagine how much he is talking about.

"Next..."

Wang Gensheng changed the topic: "Let's go to Luoshui Lake first, walk the highway by the way, improve the battle plan again, and then organize people to dig the burial ground." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Zhang Dabiao patted his shabby cotton clothes.
