After a period of rapid march, Wang Laomao and his men finally ran four or five miles. He felt that everything should be fine, so he slowed down his march.
Then he ordered the troops not to stop and to take turns to eat.
And how to take turns eating? That is, those who eat first get on the carriage.
The so-called meal was a large cornmeal pancake for each person, and there was even a dish, which was green beans stewed with animal oil!
When Wang Laomao and his men rushed into the village this time, they happened to arrive at a large family's meal.
The family didn't get to eat a single bite, but they took it all back.
"It should be alright, right?" Hou Kanshan said.
"Who knows?" Wang Laomao replied, "No one can figure out what the Japanese are up to now. When they attacked Beidaying, they had already made some advance preparations.
Now that they have occupied Jinzhou, who knows if they have any troops here."
As low-level soldiers, Wang Laomao and his men did not know that in order to occupy China, the Japanese invaders had sent people to search for intelligence on Chinese soil many years ago.
Some of the maps drawn by the Japanese army are even more detailed than those drawn by the Chinese!
Now that the Japanese army has occupied Jinzhou and there are several cities on the way to North China, it is entirely possible that the Japanese army conducted reconnaissance in advance and even colluded with traitors.
"It's completely dark. I don't even know where the road ahead is." Wang Laomao complained.
"Platoon leader, haven't you been inside the customs?" Qian Chuaner asked from the side.
Qian Chuan'er's implication was undoubtedly that since you have taken the train into the interior, you should have a general idea of where the train goes.
"Who can remember so much? You think you are remembering beautiful women?" Wang Laomao said dissatisfiedly.
After Wang Laomao finished saying this, he felt something was wrong. He subconsciously glanced back and it seemed that the three female students didn't notice what he said. He then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Laomao is already over 40 years old. After all, he is not young anymore. People become more stable as they get older. He is always embarrassed to say inappropriate things in front of girls.
Qian Chuan'er suppressed his laughter and said nothing more.
On the way, Qian Chuan'er once discussed with Ma Erhuzi why Wang Laomao was so proud of Hou Kanshan.
Ma Erhuzi's answer was very simple, that is, Wang Laomao had the spirit of a bandit.
As a veteran, Wang Laomao's military qualities are unquestionable.
But think about it, the commander-in-chief of their Northeast Army was actually a big bandit leader. How could his subordinates not have banditry?
Because Wang Laomao has a bandit-like air, he likes Hou Kanshan as his follower to serve him.
Similarly, although Wang Laomao and his companions had only been in the village for a short while, in addition to the vegetables and food they brought out, they also brought out dozens of kilograms of corn.
As for how the corn is made, is there any need to ask?
And at this point, Hou Kanshan, Wang Laomao's follower, also said that there were gunshots outside. If there were no gunshots, we would have to get some flour out no matter what!
Qian Chuan'er also asked him, "How are you going to eat the flour you made? Do you want to make dumplings?"
Hou Kanshan replied, you know what, if I can get white flour, I will bring all the pots from that family to him!
Qian Chuan'er got angry and said, "Just save your energy. You took the blame for someone else's crime, so you don't have to bear the consequences yourself, right?"
Hou Kanshan looked at Erhanzi with a malicious smile, which undoubtedly meant that Erhanzi, with his big and strong figure, was just right for being a cook and taking the blame.
"Platoon Leader Wang!" A crisp voice sounded, and it was Leng Xiaozhi running up from behind.
The people in front naturally looked at Leng Xiaozhi.
Leng Xiaozhi is of medium build, just over 1.6 meters tall, but her body proportions are very good. When she runs, she looks light, like a deer in the mountains.
As soon as he saw Leng Xiaozhi coming over, Hou Kanshan couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Just now you said you didn't know where this place was. I have a map in my hand!" When Leng Xiaozhi said this, Wang Laomao and the others noticed that Leng Xiaozhi was holding a roll of cardboard in his hand.
At this point, Wang Laomao couldn't help but feel his face burning. What he had just said about the pretty girl was finally heard by the female student behind him!
After Wang Laomao took the paper and opened it, he saw that what was drawn on the cardboard was a map of Liaoning Province. The small circles representing the place names were next to each other and were surprisingly detailed. Even the villages and towns entering the pass were marked!
"I was afraid that we would have to walk here, so I specially got it from the school library." Leng Xiaozhi explained.
Before Wang Laomao could praise Leng Xiaozhi, Hou Kanshan said in a sly tone, "You are such a thoughtful person!"
But he didn't expect Leng Xiaozhi to say without even looking at him: "You can use it, Platoon Leader Wang, I'll go back first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
If someone else approached you like this and you ignored them, you would probably feel embarrassed.
But Hou Kanshan didn't notice it. He was still obsessed with looking at Leng Xiaozhi's back as he walked.
"Did you see the way that dead monkey looked at you?" Li Yajuan asked Leng Xiaozhi who had returned to her side.
"He's not a good guy, ignore him!" Leng Xiaozhi replied.
Now these three female students hate Hou Kanshan more and more.
It was simply because the way Hou Kanshan looked at them was not a good look, and he was always a rude person.
For example, when they went to steal corn, they had a fight with the owner of the cornfield.
However, when the owner of the cornfield saw Shang Zhen shoot and kill two Japanese soldiers, he was frightened and paralyzed.
Hou Kanshan, who rushed back, slapped the middle-aged man twice in the face.
Yes, the middle-aged man had a fight with these students, and they suffered.
But this does not mean that these students have no basic sense of right and wrong.
After all, they were the ones who stole the other person's corn, and the other person was just protecting his own things. What's the point of you, Hou Kanshan, slapping him twice because you owed him the wrong thing?
Thinking of Hou Kanshan's unpopularity, Leng Xiaozhi and Li Yajuan turned their attention back to Shang Zhen beside them.
At this time, Shang Zhen returned to his original appearance, silent and fiddling with his gun.
This time Shang Zhen made another contribution.
After killing two Japanese soldiers, they seized two Type 38 rifles and four round grenades.
However, after he achieved success, he did not feel elated, but was always thinking about the use of Japanese guns and weapons.
Leng Xiaozhi, who was standing nearby, saw Li Yajuan's gaze towards Shang Zhen becoming affectionate again, and she chuckled, "Like a piece of wood."
"It's not like wood, nor is it a hemp pole. It's a sweet pole, the cutest sweet pole in the world." Li Yajuan added secretly.
"Why don't you try taking a bite?" Leng Xiaozhi teased her.
"Do you think I don't dare?" Li Yajuan pretended to be calm, and smiled shyly after a moment, and Leng Xiaozhi also chuckled.
What Li Yajuan and Leng Xiaozhi said were naturally the private conversations between girls.
At this time, Shang Zhen had no idea that he had become the cutest sweetie in the world, and this sweetie became the nickname that his students secretly called him in the future.
Note: Tianganer is a kind of sweet sorghum, which is about the thickness of a thumb and can grow more than two meters tall. Just like sorghum or sugarcane, it is segmented. It is usually eaten as a snack. You peel off the skin and chew the sweet flesh inside. After chewing, you can spit out the residue.
