All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 250, the experience of eating bark

"Captain Gao, I heard Zhao Wu talk about you a long time ago. You are a man who fights against the Japanese invaders."

Chen Hao walked in and greeted with a smile on his face, seeing that the food on the table hadn't moved at all: "Why is the food not to your liking?"

Captain Gao stood up with a sad look on his face: "My brothers are still hungry in the snow, how can I eat and drink here?"

"Sharing joys and sorrows with the robes, Captain Gao, you are a good big brother."

Chen Hao gave a thumbs up in admiration, much better than those who ate baked carp noodles in the year of the catastrophe.

Sharing weal and woe is easier said than done, if it can be done in a common way, it will not become a virtue that people admire.

For Captain Gao's arrival, Chen Hao was a little surprised.

Speaking of which, this person is quite famous.

Captain Gao was originally a company commander of the Northeast Army. At that time, the 300,000 Northeast Army was dragged back to the pass by the young commander who did not resist.

Some of them didn't want to watch their hometown being invaded and taken over by the Japanese.

They left the team on their own, took up a hill and built a nest, and stayed to fight against the Japanese invaders.

It's a bit like the meaning of a Liangshan hero, holding the banner of doing justice for the sky and fighting against the Japanese invaders.On the one hand, he did not forget his original intention to fight against the Japanese, on the other hand, he also engaged in kidnapping by robbing big households.

After all, people have to eat and drink, and there is no logistical support, so they have to find a way to solve it by themselves.

Those people are basically half-bearded. After all, beards are also doing those things. Some people also have family and country feelings, and they find trouble with the Japanese.

It was different after Captain Gao left the team, he joined the Rabbit Party.

The team he leads protects ordinary people and does not rob big households.Part of the food and drink was provided by the common people, and the other part was robbed from the Japanese.

They are like the later guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, much purer than those armed forces.

Of course, life is more difficult.

The common people were exploited by the Japanese very poorly, and they could not help much.

If it were so easy to snatch it from the Japanese, we wouldn't be hungry for six meals in three days—only one meal a day.

The guerrillas led by Captain Gao fought against the Japanese for four or five years, but they have not been able to grow up to a battalion size of 300 people.

It is really not easy to be able to persist until now.

His own leadership skills played a big role.

Captain Gao learned from Zhao Wu that the energetic Mr. Chen Hao in front of him actively resisted the Japanese and provided great help to the anti-Japanese troops in the pass.

He had some confidence in his heart, knowing that the possibility of returning empty-handed was unlikely.

But if you want the other party to take out real money from their pockets to support their team in the fight against Japan, you have to give someone a reason!

"Mr. Chen is from the Northeast, and you have a Northeast accent when you speak."

"Yup."

After receiving Chen Hao's affirmative reply, Captain Gao sighed: "Ah, as a member of the Northeast Army, our 300,000-strong army retreated without a fart.

I am sorry for the country, I am sorry for the nation, and the most sorry are the folks in the Northeast. Whenever I say it, I feel extremely ashamed. "

Chen Hao nodded, who said no!

The Northeast Marshal has 300,000 troops, well-equipped, geographically favorable, harmonious people, and logistical support.

But even without a fight, they abandoned the vast mountains and rivers of Baishan and Heishui.

Who is he worthy of?
Immediately afterwards, Tang Erhu had [-] soldiers and lost Rehe without a fight.

All the four eastern provinces were captured by the Japanese.

You can't call such a person a hero, can you?

But any fight with the Japanese will cost the Japanese army blood.Even if you lose to defeat in the end, you can still say that you have worked hard.

Those who flee without fighting are deserters.

What happens to deserters in the army?That was to be shot.

That kind of person is just resigning and resigning from office, it is too cheap for them.

Only the state officials are allowed to set fire and the people are not allowed to light lamps, which is the injustice in this world.

Anyway, when it came to the story of the Northeast Army fleeing without a fight, Chen Hao's blood pressure went up. If it had been more than ten years earlier, he would have to teach that shit young marshal to be a new man.

"Today's war of resistance against Japan is to defend the country and defend the country, shed blood and sacrifice, this is the bounden duty of our soldiers.

Our team must not disappoint the expectations of our folks, we must do our best to win glory for our country. "

Captain Gao eloquently said: "There is a scholar's father in our team, and he learned that his son fought with us against the Japanese invaders, so he presented his son with a "death" flag.

In the middle of the white cloth flag is written a big "death" character,

The flag reads: In the face of national crisis, the Japanese invaders are ferocious.

The rise and fall of a country depends on everyone.

I wanted to serve, but I was too old.Fortunately, I have a son, so I volunteered voluntarily.

Give a flag and always carry it with you.Swab blood when wounded, wrap body after death.

Go forward bravely, don't forget your duty! "

Chen Hao nodded frequently when he heard it. This father has a sense of family and country and a deep understanding of the righteousness of the nation.

A father who is willing to support, a son who joins the army to serve the country.

It is precisely because there are countless people like this that the country and the nation survive.

On the contrary, Zhang Jingzhong, who was supported by Chen Hao to be the chief of the police department, has a majority of people like him in this country, so the country will perish.

Captain Gao talked about the deeds that he personally experienced.

He usually served as a political commissar, and he did a lot of publicity and education for the soldiers in the team. This is why their team has a strong cohesion.

The words of seeing him had already moved Chen Hao, and Captain Gao talked about the difficulties their team was facing.

It's not that they are miserable, they are really miserable.

Captain Gao talked about their eating experience:
"The poor in the mountains eat birch bark in March, linden bark in April, and pine bark in May, and the bark is the most tender in this season.

Pull off the bark, melt a few buckets of snow water, soak the bark until soft, remove the old skin on the outside, leave a layer of white skin inside, and boil it again to remove the peculiar smell.

Put the bark in a pot and boil it to make porridge, which can make do with filling your stomach.

In fact, what is delicious about the bark?
After eating, the stool was dry, and it was difficult to defecate, and I couldn't pull it out. "

Not only eating bark, Captain Gao mentioned several edible species: grass roots, cotton covers, dead horses, wild animals, even leather belts, and the soles of sandalwood shoes have become food.

Of course there are no shortage of good memories.

"Eating bark for a long time, if you can get some ears of wheat, it will be a complete "good meal".

There was no way to thresh, so they built a fire, and each person roasted a few ears of wheat on the fire.The wheat grains are crunchy and full of pure wheat flavor, so delicious! "

Captain Gao couldn't help swallowing when he recalled it.

The roasted ears of wheat that come after all hardships are the memories engraved in his bones.

That seems to be a thousand times more delicious than this table of delicacies.

Zhao Wu next to him couldn't help recalling those unforgettable years.

He secretly made up his mind that no matter what the shopkeeper's attitude was, he would definitely do his best to help.

It's not that Chen Hao has never seen suffering. The Eighth Route Army also ate grass roots and bark.

But it was the first time he knew that it was as miserable as the Anti-Japanese League, and he was shocked when he heard it.

They were all encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army, and they couldn't be worse than the Eighth Route Army. Chen Hao asked the specific reasons for this situation.

Captain Gao eloquently said: "The Japanese set up barracks and strongholds at strategic points in the countryside, chasing and intercepting us, forcing us to enter the mountains and forests.

Survival in the dense forest, the biggest difficulty is not being able to obtain supplies.

There are more than four months of winter every year. The mountains and forests are covered with snow, and the snow reaches knees. The coldest temperature can reach minus [-] to [-] degrees.

There is almost nothing to eat in the mountains and forests in winter, and the months are very difficult.

The Japanese knew that it was the most difficult time for us, and to make matters worse, they redoubled their troops to encircle and suppress us at this time, making our team's situation even worse. "

The harsh environment is just one of them.

There was no food in the mountains, and the troops were short of food, so the Japanese army made a big fuss about it.

They merged the villages and villages where the anti-union activities were carried out, and built walls and fences outside to send troops to guard them.

The common people are like working animals raised in captivity.

Let it out during the day to work, and put it back at night.

Everyone implements the food rationing system, and they are not given the opportunity to have surplus food to support the Anti-Japanese War.

It is also necessary to implement the continuous sitting Baojia system.

One family supports the Anti-Union Alliance, and several companies sit together.

With the brutality of the Japanese, shooting is a pleasure, and they must be tortured and tortured to make them reveal information about the Anti-Japanese War.

The Japanese army encouraged and supported ordinary people to report each other, and rewarded them after verification.

This made the people even more panic-stricken, and the anti-union team could get even less support.

All in all, the Japanese army used all kinds of wrongdoers to engage in white terror.

Under the high-handed rule, the common people dare not speak out.

They want to support the Anti-Union Alliance, but the problem is that the actual situation does not allow it, and it is difficult to support it in practice.

Chen Hao had heard of some of what Captain Gao said before, and some of it was the first time he had heard of it.With a detailed understanding of the other party, it is not difficult for Chen Hao to understand why the Anti-League is so hard.

Under this kind of forced high pressure, it is already a miracle that the anti-union team can persist until now.

He couldn't help thinking, how can he effectively help the Anti-Union?

The Anti-Japanese Federation doesn't even have a stable base. Not only do they lack weapons and ammunition, but they also lack food, drink, and even a place to live.

This is not the same as the Eighth Route Army.

If you want to help the Anti-Japanese Federation grow stronger under the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, it doesn't mean that you can solve the problem by granting weapons and ammunition casually.

It is definitely a systematic project to establish resource channels in all aspects.

Captain Gao spoke dryly, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, hesitating again and again, he put on a begging gesture and begged:
"Mr. Chen, I heard from Zhao Wu that you are a very patriotic person and have always supported the anti-Japanese armed forces.

With all due respect, would you consider giving our team some support? "

Chen Hao came back to his senses, and first glanced at Zhao Wu from the corner of his eye. Zhao Wu had already written his thoughts on his face, but he still didn't say a word.

It shows that the buttocks have not been crooked yet, and they know whose bowl to eat whose meal.

What Chen Hao appreciates is that he is loyal, reliable and down-to-earth.

Facing Captain Gao's request, Chen Hao said with a hearty smile: "This matter couldn't be simpler. I can handle food, clothing, daily necessities, guns and ammunition."

"Thank you so much..."

After getting the answer he wanted, Captain Gao took out all the words he usually used to thank his parents and fellow villagers.

No matter what kind of favor you receive, you should be grateful.

Chen Hao accepted it with a smile, and listened to his endless praise while drinking tea.

After Captain Gao's words were worn out, and finally finished speaking, Chen Hao asked him indifferently: "How many people are there? I need to allocate supplies for you according to the number of people."

"Our team has more than 300 people, specifically 320 seven, and only more than 200 guns."

Chen Hao looked at Zhao Wu: "Is it too little?"

Captain Gao was puzzled, what is too little?
He couldn't help but worry that the other party was unwilling to support them because they were few in number.

"When I left the team, there were almost three hundred and seven people. The team was besieged and lacked everything, so it was difficult to grow and develop." Zhao Wu explained to Chen Hao.

Captain Gao wanted to add, but he heard Chen Hao say: "I will arrange various supplies for you according to the scale of thousands of people.

You will have guns and ammunition for food and drink, your team still needs to grow stronger, only when you grow stronger will you have more living space..."

Happiness came so suddenly that Captain Gao almost fainted.

He didn't quite understand what he said later, he only knew that the team he led would not have to suffer from cold and starvation this winter.

After Chen Hao had left, he sat down on the stool again, still a bit in disbelief.

On this trip by myself, the most important survival problem was solved by just talking about it?
"Zhao Wu, tell me, I'm not dreaming!"

Zhao Wu picked up the teapot to refill Captain Gao with a glass of water, and handed it to him: "Captain, you are not dreaming.

Our shopkeeper is a billionaire, but he is richer than the original Zhang Dashuai, who can support 300,000 troops.

You say that our shopkeeper raises [-] people, that's not like playing. "

Speaking of which, Captain Gao nodded in agreement.

When Guo Songling rebelled against Feng in the past, the Japanese investigated Zhang Dashuai's property. There were about 30 million cash deposited in various banks, and they were published in newspapers to advertise.

Based on the capabilities of the Japanese intelligence service, it is basically true.

But to say that Marshal Zhang doesn't have billions of dollars in wealth, that's not necessarily the case.

30 million is just working capital, real estate, land, companies, factories, and countless assets of all kinds.

It must be worth hundreds of millions in total.

As for how many there are, I'm afraid even Zhang Dashuai himself doesn't know.

All in all, if anyone can spend hundreds of millions of dollars, I don't know if they can afford to support an army of 300,000. Raising an army of [-] is like playing for fun.

In the eyes of such a big man, the cost of a thousand people is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

After figuring it out, Captain Gao felt much more at ease.

"I don't care about food and drink, does this count as being taken care of?"

He couldn't help feeling a little bit worried.

After all, it's only natural to use money to work, and after receiving such a great favor from others, isn't the team impure?

But I also thought that they were doing it for the righteousness of the nation, and didn't mention a single request.

Thinking of others like this is really too dark.

Being raised is always better than starving to death, and it does not delay the fight against the Japanese invaders. How many people want to have this way!

For example, other armed forces of the Anti-Union.

Zhao Wu brought him a plate of big white steamed buns: "Captain, if you are not used to good food, then you only have steamed buns."

"All right, all right, this is already a luxury." Captain Gao grabbed one and took a bite. The sweet white flour steamed buns hadn't been seen for a long time.

He just froze for a moment, then chewed the steamed buns and asked, "Tell me, should I tell General Yang and the others that there are six or seven thousand of them..."

When I was full, I brought others to eat together.

There is always a feeling of grabbing a sheep and pulling its wool. Captain Gao feels embarrassed in his heart, and more importantly, he is afraid that people will dislike him, so don't throw away the duck that is full of mouth.

It is impossible for Zhao Wu to make decisions for Chen Hao, he is very clear about his position.

However, it does provide some information and suggestions.

"Captain, have you ever heard of the Red Fourth Regiment in Guannei? In fact, we haven't known each other for a month, and the Red Fourth Regiment just helped us a little bit.

A few days ago, our shopkeeper arranged to give them a regiment of weapons and equipment. "

Such a generous amount is already very illustrative.

Captain Gao chewed on the steamed buns and thought: This is a very generous person, the key is to do what he likes and establish a good relationship.

He wasn't the only one who thought so.

The news of Li Yunlong's return reached the ears of the brigade commander, and when he learned that he had brought back a batch of good things, the brigade commander envied Li Yunlong's friendship with Chen Hao.

If there is something good, can Li Yunlong give it to him?

The brigade commander didn't say anything else, he just drove to the independent regiment in a truck. He would never return empty-handed.

　This is noon...
