The War of Resistance

Today's China is undoubtedly backward, but there are exceptions. For example, there is the Shili Foreign Market in Shanghai.

Shanghai was once an international metropolis. In terms of urban appearance, it can definitely compete with metropolises like New York and London.

As for the reason, it is of course because China was weak in modern times, and Shanghai, as the center of China's import and export, had concessions from various countries.

What is a concession? The country is China, so there is no shortage of finance, insurance, multinational companies, and brothels. How could it not be prosperous?

Nowadays in China, if you see a country girl wearing a cheongsam with white thighs exposed in the countryside, she will definitely be regarded as an alien. If you are more serious, you will be drowned by the country people with saliva. The important point is That's immoral, and that's going to end up in a pig cage.

But in Shanghai, this is a common thing.

What's this called? This is called abnormal prosperity.

At this time, on a pier outside the Dabie Mountains, there were rarely many people. Although the mountain people did not dress as fashionably as those in Shili Foreign Market, there were still many people.

At this time, Shang Zhen and others were among them.

Of course, saying "mixed up" is just a matter of convenience. Except for Bai Zhan, none of them were from farmers, and they specially disguised themselves, so others couldn't tell their identities as soldiers at all.

The dialect here is not obscure, but Shang Zhen and the others can still understand it. As long as they don't speak with their Northeastern accent, who will care about them?

Since he could understand, Shang Zhen had figured out why there were so many people here.

That's of course because the Japanese army recently crossed the Baisha River and massacred two villages. Many people were worried that their homes would also suffer disaster, so they crossed the river outside the Dabie Mountains to avoid the disaster of the war.

But what is home? Born here, raised here, and died here, this is called home.

If you have been away from home for a long time and have nothing to eat, what will happen if you don't go home?

But if you want to go home, you have to inquire about the movements of the Japanese, whether your village has been burned and robbed, and whether your few acres of thin farmland have been trampled by the invaders' iron hoofs.

This pier is the only place to cross the river, so people naturally gather here.

Shang Zhen was squatting in the corner of a house with a tattered bundle in his arms. His appearance was no different from that of ordinary people who had left their homes.

But his eyes were always paying attention to everyone he could see, and he thought to himself, I wonder if there are also Japanese spies among these people.

It stands to reason that now that the 51st Army is inside the Dabie Mountains and the Japanese army is outside the Dabie Mountains, this is the place where the enemy and we meet. It is reasonable for the enemy and us to put some intelligence personnel here.

However, Shang Zhen had been looking at the people for a long time but couldn't find anyone who looked like a Japanese devil.

Forget it, we're here for a walk anyway, so why are we so nervous? Maybe the Japanese army sent here were traitors this time, Shang Zhen thought.

I don’t know where to get some food, Shang Zhen thought again.

This old fool said that this person's fate in his previous life determines his relationship in this life.

I don’t know what the fate was between that damn fat man and my group in the previous life, so why would they fight each other when they meet in this life? As a result, the guard company now has to eat food with stones.

But now the 51st Army is stationed in the Dabie Mountains. Although it is not the deepest part, where can the food in the Dabie Mountains come from besides military supplies?

Not wanting to get into trouble with Fatty Wang, but also wanting to get food, Shang Zhen thought of fighting to support war. Where could he go to bring some food back? So despite the fact that he said he was taking people out for a walk, he was actually just out looking for them. Of grain.

This river is quite wide. I wonder if the people here use water to transport grain. Is there any big family that would like to have their own guards even with a boatload of grain?

Shang Zhen, who was deep in thought, had a dull expression like a farmer, but his head was spinning like a whirlpool in the water.

When a person is deep in thought, his mind will inevitably wander. Shang Zhen, who was looking down and thinking, was suddenly awakened by a sharp call: "Shang Zhen, so you are here!"

Shang Zhen looked up when he heard the sound and saw a girl with short hair standing in front of him.

The girl has big black and white eyes and a slightly darker skin. She is not the showy type but is definitely good-looking. This is Bian Xiaolong who has resumed women's clothing.

Shang Zhen was surprised for a moment and then responded: "Yes, I have been looking for you for a long time. How did I see you?"

Although Shang Zhen had not received any training in reconnaissance, he also understood that now that he was dressed as a farmer, he could not show his signs as a soldier, not to mention that he did not let the soldiers call him company commander after they came out.

Just like now, when Shang Zhen heard Bian Xiaolong calling him, he noticed that several people turned their faces not far away.

As for whether that look was suspicious of him or was attracted by Bian Xiaolong's sharp cry, he could only reserve his opinion.

"Big Laoban and I are by the river. He's calling for you to come over." Bian Xiaolong said.

Shang Zhen said "Oh" and stood up, then swung his legs twice more as if they were numb from squatting.

As for girls, that still has an advantage.

Although Xiaolong was already used to Shang Zhen's company commander demeanor in the company, but now that she was out, when she saw Shang Zhen squatting in the corner of the corner looking like an absolute old farmer, that Shang Zhen's brilliance in her heart The image burst like a soap bubble.

In her subconscious mind, Company Commander Shang Zhen was not as naive as Big Boss!

Now she had the opportunity to call Shang Zhen by his real name instead of "company commander", so she naturally called him "boss" and you're welcome.

But when she wanted to say something more, Shang Zhen winked at her as she leaned toward him.

Bian Xiaolong is also used to being alone outside. He is a wandering wild flower, not a flower in a greenhouse. He is also well-informed.

As soon as she saw Shang Zhen wink, she knew something was wrong. She was too busy to say anything and led Shang Zhen to the river.

She didn't know that Shang Zhen already felt a trace of regret in his heart at this time. He was so clever and pretended! He also followed Bian Xiaolong's words and said, "I've been looking for you for a long time, so why did I see you?"

You shouldn't have said anything at all!

Because as soon as I say a word, my Northeastern bad smell comes out!

I have been squatting here for a long time and listened to the people talking. Although the people here do not speak soft-spoken nonnong dialect, and the accent may not sound any better than the Northeastern accent, their accent is definitely the same as the Northeastern accent. Different!

He had just stood up, and it was understandable that people passing by looked at him in surprise.

So just now I followed Bian Xiaolong's words, no matter what I said, it was wrong!

But now that the mistake had been made, Shang Zhen knew that it would be useless to make up for it, so he would not look around to see if there was anyone around who could be a spy for the Japanese army.

Although the possibility is a few tenths of a percent, the possibility of no possibility is a few ninety-nine percent.

Shang Zhen's reaction was always quick, and he was good at adapting to circumstances.

Even if there were really Japanese spies around who discovered something unusual about him, he didn't believe that just those few spies would dare to attack him here.

So, now Shang Zhen follows Bian Xiaolong without looking back.

And he only walked for a moment when he noticed that Ma Erhuzi and Bai Zhan were among the crowd.

I don’t know what the common people in that group of people are talking about. Anyway, looking at Ma Erhuzi’s expression, it looks like a countryman listening to books. He opens his mouth wide and looks like his eyeballs are about to fall to the ground. Oh, eh. Liang, look at how attentively he listens!

On the contrary, Bai Zhan seemed to have a tacit understanding at this time, and looked at him casually.

When it comes to reconnaissance and spying in disguise, soldiers like me are really not good at it. I really have to be a thief like Bai Zhan who has traveled all over the world!

Seeing that Bai Zhan noticed him, Shang Zhen tilted his head slightly and winked at the same time.

He knew that although his action was very small, Bai Zhan must have understood that he wanted to see if there was anything unusual behind him, or if he was following someone he shouldn't be following.
