"Are these..." Hu Yizhou looked at the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were helping deliver things at the entrance of the village and asked with some uncertainty.

"This is the main force, the 7XX regiment! Do you know? We were overtaken by them on the way out of Zezhou, and they happened to help us transport things along the way!" Jiang Dajiang said.

"Oh... welcome! Please invite them into the village quickly! It's going to rain today. If you go into the village and squeeze in, you can get shelter from the rain!" Hu Yizhou said.

"No, no, no, we can't disturb the people! Just take shelter from the rain in the woods outside the village!" At this time, an Eighth Route Army officer spoke.

"That's it... I can't say I'm bothering you. The people in the village were just killed by bandits, and only three young men escaped! We captured the bandit camp yesterday and rescued more than a dozen women. Now,

We are living in a few yards at the east end of the village. Now the entire west of the village is our temporary camp!" Hu Yizhou said.

"No, no, no, you have done a great job in suppressing the bandits. You should live in the house. We can just set up some tents outside the village! Hurry up! Help us move the things and let's set up camp. Whoever is slow in his legs deserves to be caught in the rain!

"After the cadre finished speaking, he led the people away.

"Hello, Commander! Hello, Commander!" The person who spoke was Master Xu. They were arranged directly under the regiment headquarters and arrived at Hu Yizhou's yard.

"Well, Master Xu, you will lead the people to boil some ginger soup for the soldiers to drink later! Then ask the Eighth Route Army and send some to them if needed!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Come on!" Master Xu replied.

This village is not big. Three of the more than 20 courtyards have been given to the surviving villagers, and the rest are occupied by the security team. In these courtyards, the soldiers of the company have set up many tents to shelter from the rain.

, giving those soldiers who couldn't squeeze into the house a place to take shelter from the rain.

More than 500 people crowded into these courtyards, which was a bit crowded, but fortunately, the crowding got over.

"Crack! Crack..." The autumn rain is not supposed to be that heavy, but it happened to rain like a summer rainstorm, and soon there was water in the yard.

The accumulated water in the yard flows out of the courtyard wall from the gutter, forming a clear stream on the stone road outside the courtyard gate, and finally converges into a small river and flows into the ditch at the foot of the mountain, forming a torrential stream of water.

Beside the woods outside the village, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army set up a temporary rain shelter, which could barely hold up under the beating of the rain. But as the mountain wind blew, the raindrops that fell straight were blown up.

, making everyone in the rain shelter a drowned rat.

Compared with the more than a thousand Eighth Route Army, the soldiers in the security group were much better. After all, they were blocked by the courtyard wall, so the wind was not that loud. Some soldiers even took off their military uniforms and washed themselves naked in the rain.

Don't mind the cold rain.

"Sir, when we were working in the countryside, it rained even colder than this in the paddy fields. This little rain is nothing!" Seeing Hu Yizhou frowning, a soldier came over and said.

"Well, you still have to pay attention. It's already the end of September, and it's already November in the Gregorian calendar. The weather in the north is not as good as in the south. Please pay attention to it! Don't kill the Japanese and let the cold go away!" Hu Yizhou said.

"We know! It's just that the smell of blood on my body is too strong, so I just need to wash it off!" The one who spoke was a soldier from the company.

"Wipe yourself off later, put on more clothes, and drink the ginger soup while it's hot!" Hu Yizhou turned back into the house because he didn't want to see something swinging around.

With yesterday's battle, the security group has more soldiers to deal with! At least the 36 people in the special operations platoon have killed someone, and some have killed more than one! And the soldiers in the first company are also experienced.

After death, after a few more battles, he will probably grow up!

Hu Yizhou wants to find trouble with the bandits who are entrenched in the mountains along the way! Give our recruits some practice, and you can be considered as contributing to the anti-Japanese war, right?

The rain in autumn lasts for a long time, unlike the rain in summer. After the rain, the sky clears up.

After the initial heavy rain, a drizzle of light rain fell, which meant it couldn't stop for a while.

"Give me the order to continue resting here tonight! If the weather is good tomorrow, we will continue on our way!" Hu Yizhou gave the order.

"Yes!" The order was quickly issued. Master Xu also led the cooking teams of each company to prepare the needed ginger soup. Not only did more than 500 people each have a big bowl, but it was also sent to the Eighth Route Army.

Several large buckets were enough for them to drink while it was hot.

Lunch is hot millet porridge with pickles. If not enough, you can also eat multi-grain steamed buns. The millet is bought on the way and is very thick. It is mixed with corn flour, millet flour, sweet potato noodles and sorghum noodles. The steamed buns are delicious.

It tastes good when eaten hot. Well, these grains are from the bandits' village.

Facing these foods, the soldiers ate extremely delicious food and did not care at all that there was no meat.

It's no wonder that those who join the army are poor people. If they can have enough to eat, thank God. How many good meals can they have before forgetting about their origin?

"Deputy Commander Wang, this is the miscellaneous grain steamed buns that our captain asked us to deliver to you. Let comrades eat some while they are hot! There are not many steamed buns, just one for each person!"

Jiang Dajiang led dozens of cooking soldiers to the Eighth Route Army camp again in the rain, carrying hot steamed buns.

"Thank you, Commander Hu, for me! Comrades, thank you to our friendly forces!" said Deputy Commander Wang.

"Thank you!" the soldiers shouted.

"These are for you!" Jiang Dajiang entered Deputy Commander Wang's tent carrying a dustpan.

"Lao Jiang, what's the explanation from Brother Beard?" Not many people in Juntu knew Hu Yizhou, and Deputy Captain Wang happened to be one of them. He quickly asked while there were only two people in the tent.

"Yesterday we captured a bandit camp, which is in the mountains ten miles away. The regiment leader said that it can be used as a camping ground. In addition, we will leave first tomorrow, and we will seize sixty-nine rifles and more than five hundred rifles from the bandits.

I will leave the bullets for you, as well as seven old red 9-box guns and 210 rounds of bullets for you!"

"In addition, there are several thousand kilograms of all kinds of miscellaneous grains for you! The leader wants you to get a receipt!" Jiang Dajiang said.

"Okay! No problem! I knew Brother Beard recognized me! We haven't been able to go to Taihang Mountain recently, so Brother Beard should be careful!" Deputy Commander Wang said happily.

"That's the thing. You are responsible for peripheral security at night!" Jiang Dajiang said.

"Okay! I'll write the receipt right now!" Deputy Captain Wang quickly wrote the receipt and gave it to Jiang Dajiang for safekeeping.

"Okay! I don't know when I'll see you again tomorrow, take care!"
