Chapter 462: Autumn Harvest and Winter Harvest 20

The woman's crying was very sad. Chen Zengshun did not comfort her immediately. Instead, he sat steadily on the bench and smoked. After waiting for a while, the woman's crying finally dropped. Chen Zengshun continued to speak: "Little cabbage, yellow in the ground, three or two years old, without a mother..., a child, will soon lose her mother, pitiful, pitiful!"

Speaking of this, Chen Zengshun deliberately sighed loudly.

The song that Chen Zengshun said at the beginning was "Xiao Baicai" that has been circulated in Northeast China for thousands of years. It tells the story of the stepmother abusing the daughter of her ex-wife. Hearing Chen Zengshun speak the song, the woman who had just stopped crying again lay on the kang and howled loudly.

After waiting for a while, when the woman's crying became a little weaker, Chen Zengshun said, "This sister-in-law, life is unpredictable and the world is unpredictable. The disaster in Zhongguo Village this time is a dereliction of duty by us soldiers. We did not protect the country well or protect the people well. Your disaster this time is also the incompetence of us soldiers."

When the woman heard this, her crying gradually stopped.

Chen Zengshun hit the railway while it was hot: "Sister-in-law, your family and your tribe members have just talked with you. They don't blame you because you are a weak woman and you don't have the ability to resist. Because they don't protect you well, they think they have a great responsibility."

The woman lying on the kang sobbed again, and Chen Zengshun continued, "That child is your biological child. You don't want a cruel stepmother to treat him in the future, right?"

Speaking of this, Chen Zengshun carefully observed the woman's reaction and found that although the woman was sobbing, her ears were listening carefully to her words. Chen Zengshun's confidence increased greatly. He lit a cigarette again and said, "Sister-in-law, I know you have suffered grievances, but you have no choice. We Chinese people regard reputation as more important than life. In the future, there are very likely people to point fingers behind you. But you still have children to take care of and elderly people to die. It can be said that your life is not just your own. In my opinion, you must live well. If you really insist on dying, you will lose your eyes, but have you ever thought about it, you will be sorry to the elderly and the youngest son. Especially your child, do you bear to have no biological mother and stay in this world and suffer alone?"

The woman lying on the kang was motionless, and Chen Zengshun's words obviously came to her heart. Chen Zengshun continued: "I said the same thing in that family just now. I have obtained the consent of your patriarch. I will move your family to Qinghe or Sangyu Town tomorrow. If your family changes to a new place to live, they will not know about you, and your family can start over."

Speaking of this, Chen Zengshun emphasized: "That family has agreed, and they will move out tomorrow."

Chen Zengshun actually did not join that family. As for moving, it was also false. Chen Zengshun said this now, which is a kind lie. Because he knew very well that the countryside now values ​​face. As long as there is a new environment and no one mentions the unbearable past, this family can still live peacefully.

The woman lying on the kang never cried anymore. Chen Zengshun knew that she had agreed with her words, so he threw away the cigarette butts in his hand and stood up. Before going out, Chen Zengshun turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, you clean up immediately, and I will send soldiers to send all your house away. Don't worry, I will discuss with your patriarch and I will definitely settle you."

Chen Zengshun went out, and the patriarch and the woman's family who had been waiting in the yard surrounded him anxiously. Chen Zengshun said what he said to them, and they all nodded repeatedly, thinking that Chief Chen's method was indeed a good solution.

The family was busy packing up their homes and was about to be sent away by soldiers from the Sixth Squadron overnight. Chen Zengshun was not allowed to rest, so he was led by the patriarch to another family to persuade him.

That night, although the enemy did not attack, Chen Zengshun and others basically did not sleep well. By the time they sent the two families away, the sky in the east had turned white and a new day began.

It was finally dawn. The teams that had rested last night got up one after another. The cooks began to prepare breakfast. The platoon leaders and squad leaders blew whistles and shouted commands to urge the soldiers to get up and practice. At this moment, the messenger who sent back to report the message last night came back and brought back the latest orders from the Ninth Detachment.

After Li Qinglin received a combat report sent by Chen Zengshun and others last night, he immediately judged that this small group of enemies stationed in Zhongguo Village was just the so-called "resolute combat" of the Japanese and puppet troops. According to the Japanese's vindictive character, they would definitely send troops to retaliate in the shortest time. Therefore, Li Qinglin ordered the Sixth Squadron to immediately transfer the people, and his troops must also leave the village, bring enough food and grass, and prepare to engage in a long-term guerrilla war with the enemy who was fighting back.

Through this small battle, Li Qinglin and the others also determined that there were not many enemies to attack the New Fifth Army this time, otherwise they would not have left only such a little force at such an important location in Zhongguo Village. Therefore, Li Qinglin also clearly stated in the order that Chen Zengshun had not had many troops. As long as the troops in Xiashangu were mobilized, they could basically deal with each other. At the same time, the reinforcements of the Ninth Detachment had already been in place and emergency reinforcements would be carried out at any time.

After receiving the order from Li Qinglin and the others, Chen Zengshun felt relieved. Because the judgment obtained by the headquarters was basically in line with his expectations, everything on the battlefield was within his expectations.

In fact, Chen Zengshun issued an order last night that the troops would withdraw from this dangerous area early this morning, so the troops had already been prepared. Shortly after breakfast, the soldiers of the Sixth Squadron did not panic, and they withdrew from Zhongguo Village in an orderly manner. During the retreat, Chen Zengshun repeatedly reminded the clan leader that he would go into the mountains to hide, or to stay with relatives and friends for a while. In order to prevent the enemy from retaliating and killing, the villagers must not return to the village in the near future.

Having learned a bloody lesson, the villagers no longer dared to be lucky this time, and they also retreated to the rear with the team.

Although it has been judged that the enemy's troops are not very strong, Li Qinglin did not dare to be careless at all. After the battle in Zhongguo Village, Li Qinglin ordered Zhang Ergou to immediately organize some mobile troops to wait for the opportunity to reinforce Chen Zengshun at any time. At the same time, Li Qinglin also ordered other brigades to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the enemy from launching large-scale surprise attacks.

The Japanese finally turned around and "swept" Zhongguo Village, but the first one to come to Zhongguo Village was not the troops that had previously broken into the New Fifth Army's positions, but the troops sent by Shuizhi, a longer journey.

Of course, there was no one in Zhongguo Village, and all the things in the village had been transferred a little earlier. When the Japanese and puppet troops "attacked" Zhongguo Village, there was not even a chicken in Zhongguo Village, and all the villagers left behind were empty houses.

The Imperial Army, who came "The Pig suddenly advanced", was naturally a little discouraged, but they quickly found a way to show the majesty of the Imperial Army and began to burn houses. For a moment, thick smoke in Zhongguo Village was rolling, and the flames soared into the sky, and the villagers' thatched huts were burned.

The front troops who advanced to the New Fifth Army's position only arrived at the designated location of Zhongguo Village a day later. This was not because they did not set off in time, nor because they were physically unable to walk. The reason why they were behind was because of the New Fifth Army.

Although Sun Damazi's New Fifth Army did not have the motivation to take the initiative, they had a strong idea of ​​occupying territory. When the Japanese attacked, the New Fifth Army's troops generally chose to resist. The reason for choosing to resist was not how determined the New Fifth Army was to resist the war, but was determined by the components of the New Fifth Army.

The New Fifth Army can be said to be a group of miscellaneous brands, bandits, unemployed wanderers and believers of the Temple Dao Society. Because Sun Dianying is the leader of the Temple Dao Society, all local young believers who believe in the Temple Dao Society have basically joined the new Fifth Army. Therefore, the backbone of the New Fifth Army is actually the local believers of the Temple Dao Society.

The Temple Road Association has been popular in the local area, and believers have joined the New Fifth Army, but they are still very concerned about their families. The full-scale war of resistance has been going on for several years. Everyone knows what the Japanese will do after they fight. Even if the officers and soldiers of the New Fifth Army do not fight for the country, they will resist for their relatives.

The resistance of the New Fifth Army is also related to local forces. The rich and wealthy families have a lot of wealth in their families, and these people are even more afraid of death. They all expect the New Fifth Army to resist for a period of time so that they can give them time to escape.

Since the Japanese and puppet troops launched an attack, although the New Fifth Army has continued to resist and then "turn" again, they have always maintained a close and distant situation with the enemy. Officers who have experienced many anti-sweeping raids know that the Japanese do not have enough troops to occupy the countryside. Although they came with great momentum, they still have to retreat to large cities and important towns to garrison. Once the Japanese and puppet troops retreat, the troops that the New Fifth Army has been in contact with will occupy the vast rural areas left by the enemy.

The officers of the New Fifth Army knew very well that in Commander Sun's heart, as long as the personnel and guns were not lost, it would not be a mistake for the troops to retreat slightly when the strong enemy attacked; especially after the locals retreated, the team could reoccupy the previously lost territory, and Commander Sun would reward him.

This time, the new first regiment that was in contact with the enemy did not really escape from beginning to end. They have always been in a position of being close to the enemy. The New First Army has been doing cat and mouse games many times. Therefore, for the Japanese army that has penetrated into the positions of the New Fifth Army, this unit is likely to launch an attack at any time, which is also a big threat.

After receiving the order from Shuizhi, the Japanese army set out the camp and rushed back, but the first battalion of the newly formed first regiment of the New Fifth Army immediately leaned forward. It was this close-range threat that made the Japanese army feel very unsafe, so they arrived in Zhongguo Village much later.
