However, Zheng Chengkui's more than 2,000 troops could not solve the problem of eating by hunting.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will change and you will eat people when you are hungry.
"Captain Zheng, today, five more people ran away." Li Dequan found Zheng Chengkui at night and said.
"These are those rescued by Longling prisoners of war again?" This is not the first time Zheng Chengkui has heard such bad news. Some people have left almost every day in the past few days, and some have been caught and whipped and confined, but this situation cannot be prevented.
"Yes, they are all those guys who don't grow!" Li Dequan said angrily: "They even spread rumors that our brothers share more food than they do!"
"It's no wonder they are. We really haven't been able to make our brothers eat enough now." Zheng Chengkui sighed and stopped and asked, "How long can our food last?"
"Three days." Li Dequan replied.
"Is there any news in Tengchong City?" Zheng Chengkui asked about the spy he had planted in Tengchong City to find out if he could rob the granary of Fushen's family in the village outside the city.
Li Dequan shook his head and said, "Captain, should we go down the mountain and work in the nearby village first, and get some cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens?"
"You really want to be a bandit!" Zheng Chengkui was furious after hearing this, stood up and pointed at Li Dequan's nose and said, "We would rather starve to death than steal the people's things! If anyone breaks this rule, I will kill him with my own hands!"
"But if this continues, it will cause a mutiny!" Li Dequan said with a sad face.
Of course, Zheng Chengkui also thought about how serious the consequences were. He sat on the chair and a guard at the door hurriedly reported.
"What's the matter?" Li Dequan asked.
"Captain Zheng, Zhang Wu ran away!" said the guard.
Zheng Chengkui stood up from the chair he had just sat down and asked hurriedly: "Did he run away alone?"
"No, I took one of his companies down the mountain!" the guard replied.
"Have you brought a weapon?" Li Dequan's face changed drastically.
"Take them away." The guard replied.
"You can't let him run away like this!***! I treat him well and he actually revenges!" Zheng Chengkui picked up his belt and said, "Let's go!"
I am really afraid of anything I come to.
Zhang Wu was a captain and company commander rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp, and he was also a figure. Zheng Chengkui handed him a company soldier and was equipped with guns left by the "Xifeng Brigade". That was more than 100 guns. How could Zheng Chengkui let him go? The most important thing is that Zhang Wu also knew that if he took his men to surrender to the Japanese devils in Tengchong, the few spies in the city would suffer. In addition, their plan to rob food. If it was leaked, the Japanese and the Imperial Army would strengthen their defense.
Zheng Chengkui took his former brothers and chased them quickly along the way down the mountain.
A company led by Zhang Wu was not very familiar with the terrain of this area. It was night, with high mountains and dense forests. Many people were hesitant and were unwilling to follow him to join the Japanese. They couldn't go far, so they were caught up by Zheng Chengkui and the others, and both sides were tense.
"Zhang Wu! You want to surrender to the Japanese! Why should you drag your brothers together? If you want to leave, you will go alone! I can't stop you, but if you take your brothers to surrender to the Japanese, then you will be my Zheng Chengkui's enemy!" Zheng Chengkui shouted loudly at the dark forest opposite, which was invisible to nothing.
"Who said I am going to be a traitor! If you are a bandit, your brothers will not be able to fill your stomach! Why are we the soldiers? Isn't it just a matter of making a living? Instead of following you to go hungry, we might as well find our own way!" Zhang Wu hid behind the tree and replied.
"Brothers! Don't listen to him nonsense! That's right, we are short of food now because the team has grown. I didn't expect this to happen in advance! We will have food soon. I promise my brothers that we will find food within three days! Don't listen to the words of Zhang Wu, a villain. He has no place to go except to take his brothers to join the Japanese devils as traitors! Are you willing to work hard for the Japanese devils? Go and help the Japanese devils harm their compatriots? Listen to my advice, put down your weapons! Come back to the village with me! As long as I have something for me, Zheng Chengkui, you won't be hungry, brothers..." Zheng Chengkui didn't want to kill each other. He knew in his heart that this was what the Japanese devils wanted to see, and he could not do things that the relatives would hurt their enemies.
Many people under Zhang Wu's men began to be moved by Zheng Chengkui's words.
There were two platoon leaders who were reluctant to follow Zhang Wu down the mountain. They were all people who had gone to the battlefield to kill the Japanese. After hearing Zheng Chengkui's words, they began to shake and quietly told their brothers to return to Zheng Chengkui's side.
Zhang Wu realized something was wrong. He heard the sound of footsteps near him approaching him and said to the platoon leader who was one of the planners of this mutiny: "Only we are leaving by ourselves!" After that, he and the platoon leader quietly retreated with the platoon leader.
Zheng Chengkui waited for a while but didn't hear Zhang Wu reply, so he shouted: "Zhang Wu! I'll give you ten seconds to consider the time! If I don't take the gun in ten seconds, I'm not polite!"
A platoon leader replied loudly: "Captain Zheng! The brothers were all deceived by that bastard Zhang Wu! He had already run away secretly just now. Brothers and I are coming out now, don't shoot!"
"Come out! As long as you are willing to go back to the counterfeit village with me, you will not blame me!" Zheng Chengkui replied.
"Captain, you can't let that boy Zhang Wu run away!" Li Dequan knew the pros and cons and wanted to take people to chase him.
"Take a brother in class and chase him!" said Zheng Chengkui.
A mutiny subsided. In the second half of the night, Li Dequan also returned to the parcel. He still couldn't kill Zhang Wu, and only beat the platoon leader who followed Zhang Wu to death.
However, Zhang Wu did not enter Tengchong City. He did not bring a soldier and a soldier. It was not beneficial to seek refuge with the Japanese. Instead, he hid in the home of a villager in Heshun Township outside the city.
The villager of this family had a son who followed Wang Jincai to become the Imperial Army. The family was worried that the whole family would be affected by the investigation, so they secretly told Wang Jincai's father Wang Fugui.
When Zhang Wu was in the morning, he was sleeping in a dark and full manner when he was full and drunk. He was suddenly held down by Wang Fugui's servants and sent to Tengchong City early in the morning.
After Wang Jincai became the captain of the Imperial Army Lieutenant Colonel, he had more people. In order to prevent the incident of being kidnapped by Dong Limao and others last time, there were more personnel around the yard where he lived at night, and barbed wire was also installed on the wall of the yard.
When he learned that his father had arrested a company commander under Zheng Chengkui, he was extremely happy. This was the first contribution he had made to the Japanese devils after becoming the captain of the Imperial Army. He interrogated Zhang Wu in his yard on the spot.
Zhang Wu had the idea of joining the Japanese, so Wang Jincai only shouted a few times, and he explained the detailed addresses of several spies that Zheng Chengkui had installed in Tengchong City, and told him that the copycat was short of food and that Zheng Chengkui was preparing to rob the food.
Wang Jincai was overjoyed and took Zhang Wu into his life as a dog he worked for the Japanese.
After Ikeda Hiroji's brigade stationed in Tengchong City, he had no substantial gains in clearing out the guerrillas in the mountains. After listening to Wang Jincai's report, he felt that this was an opportunity.
"Taijun, do you want me to take people to arrest those spies of Zheng bandits now?" Wang Jincai asked.
"No! You can't catch them now! We will let them go!" said Hiroji Ikeda.
"Want to let them go?" Wang Jincai didn't understand what Koji Ikeda meant.
"Let your people say something, we will transport a batch of rice back to the Great Japanese Empire tomorrow." Koji Ikeda said to Wang Jincai.
Wang Jincai understood this time, and sneered and gave a thumbs up: "Taijun is really clever! I'll let it go now!"
At night, Ikeda Koji asked Wang Jincai to release the words that reached Zheng Chengkui's ears.
"***! I won't have to worry about food this time!" Zheng Chengkui was overjoyed: "Li Dequan, pass on my order, have a full meal tonight, set off overnight, bring all our mules and horses, and set up an ambush on the most dangerous section of Gaoligong Mountain on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and be sure to grab all the food transported by the Japanese." He calculated the amount of this batch of food, and the happier he thought about it: "The Japanese helped us solve the food that Qiuhuang did not receive in the past two months, and we have to thank them for it!"
"Captain Zheng, should you tell me about this matter to Company Commander Dong and the others? If they were involved, the confidence of success would be greater." Li Dequan felt uneasy in his heart.
"No need! Then you rob the food and send it to Company Commander Dong and the others! There is no need to bother them with such a small matter! We have more than 2,000 people, can't we deal with the hundreds of Japanese and Imperial Army who escorted the grain truck?" Zheng Chengkui waved his hand and said.
Li Yuanyuan was also worried about Dong Limao and others' food and drink.
Wang Jincai's cousin, Wang Jingui, has an old lover in Hot Spring Garden. He is the one who participated in the grain transport and escort team that Ikeda said this time, leading the Imperial Army team. Of course, he didn't know that this was a trap set by Ikeda Koji.
"My sister Hua, I want to do something for the Imperial Army. I may not see you for ten days and half a month. I will feel comfortable to take care of you tonight." After Wang Jingui got on the bed, he hugged the old lady in Wenquanyuan and said impatiently.
"Brother, you are doing well in the Imperial Army." The beggar girl laughed and hugged Wang Jingui and said.
"Of course, otherwise how could the Imperial Army hand over such an important task of escorting rice to me? You know, this was the best rice transported back to the Great Japanese Empire to the Emperor, which was equivalent to tribute grain." Wang Jingui used both hands and feet to overturn the beggar girl.
"Oh, is that right? It seems that my brother is really valued by the Imperial Army. So, I will not see my brother for a long time. When will I leave?"
"Let's leave early tomorrow morning." Wang Jingui didn't want to say too much about this: "Don't talk, let me have a good time."
After any important person comes, Sister Cui will ask the girl who is receiving her what she said to the guests. After Wang Jingui felt comfortable and left, Sister Cui walked into the beggar girl's room and asked, "Hua, what did Wang Jingui's yellow dog say to you?"
The beggar girl told Sister Cui what Wang Jingui said to him.
When Li Yuanyuan learned about this, she thought it would be impossible to send someone to find Dong Limao and the others. In order to help Dong Limao and the others get this batch of food, she had to use the radio station.
