Time returned to fifteen minutes before the gunshot.
Zhao Damin is a villager in Zhaojia Village. He is tall and tall. At this time, he is full of anger, and his dark face has almost condensed into a ball of fire, a fire of anger.
The war has come, and for the people in Zhaojiacun, they don't seem to be panicking, as if the war two hundred kilometers away has nothing to do with them.
In the past few days, many refugees have told them: move away quickly, the Japanese are about to attack. These Japanese are very cruel, killing and setting fire without blinking an eye.
But the villagers in Zhaojiacun always felt that even if these Japanese devils came to fight, they would not vent their anger on civilians like them. Just like the Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition and Sun Chuanfang's direct army also fought lively. What? Doesn't it have nothing to do with their Zhaojia Village? No matter how cruel this group of Japanese are, it's not too bad, right? Isn’t it similar to the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Zhili Army?
Therefore, when the war was approaching, the villagers in Zhaojiacun's first thought was not to escape from the land where they had lived for generations, but to collect grain. When the outcome of the two armies was almost decided, they would be able to do so. I can farm with peace of mind.
Due to their stubborn ideas and relatively limited information, the villagers in Zhaojia Village are not that concerned about this war.
So when soldiers came to buy food from them half an hour ago, they immediately refused: the food was for them to spend the winter. Besides, the army was in chaos, fighting everywhere, and they didn't have any food in their hands. How could they survive? survive this war?
Many people may still have enough food in their hands to survive this winter and this war, but they are stubborn and believe that the food in their hands can only be too much, not too little. What's the point of having money? use? No food could be bought.
That's right, the people who came to buy food were the dozen or so officers and soldiers of the First Regiment and the First Battalion led by Liu Houming. They had never been in such a mess - when these common people heard that they were here to buy food, they didn't say anything. He drove them away, saying something like "I will never sell food."
From the perspective of Liu Houming and his dozen officers and soldiers, starting from the Battle of Songhu, basically all the people passing by were welcomed, not to mention that they had to donate their entire family wealth, and they also donated a lot of materials. .
Liu Houming and others had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, but they didn't expect that they would get into trouble in this little-known place like Zhaojiacun.
In desperation, Liu Houming and others had to return to the open space in front of the village to gather and see what else they could do.
"Adjutant Liu, what should we do now? The order given by the regiment commander is a fatal order. If we can't even handle this little thing, what will the regiment commander think of us? We have returned to the regiment commander's army, and we still have a foothold. Land?" As soon as he sat down, Xiaobing Yuyang began to ask Liu Houming anxiously.
Liu Houming has never encountered this kind of situation, but it is an established fact that the army is short of food, and they must try their best to purchase food.
"When I think of a solution, the current situation is really very difficult. These people are unwilling to sell food to us. What should we do?" Liu Houming almost scratched his head and couldn't figure it out. A good idea.
"If there is no other way, we can only steal food." From the corner, a voice that was not too loud came out faintly, but everyone at the scene heard it clearly.
This person is none other than the veteran soldier Yu Yang followed before.
As soon as he heard this idea, Liu Houming shook his head like a rattle and said: "Stealing food?! It's impossible. The military discipline of our Central Army is so strict. If we really steal food and take it back, the regiment commander won't be able to take us back." Are they all shot? This is absolutely not possible, no, no, no."
The veteran raised his head slightly, but his words were full of endless desolation: "But, Adjutant Liu, what situation are we in now? We haven't eaten for a day and a night, and we have nothing to eat, so we are all We must all starve to death. You said, we brothers are working hard on the front line to protect this country and the people? But what are we getting in exchange for it now? We are paid. Don't we die? In the hands of the enemy, can you only die of this damn hunger?"
People's hearts are made of flesh, and Liu Houming was no exception. When he heard these words, his heart began to hurt: Could it be that he really wanted to watch this gang finally break out of Nanjing and kill many Japanese? Will our brothers succumb to this hunger, or eat roots and bark? They are all the bravest warriors...
After thinking about it, Liu Houming finally made a decision: just steal it, and run away if you are discovered. No matter what, the food must be obtained. Even if the regiment leader wants to be shot, let him be shot alone. Let’s take this responsibility!
"Let's go, brothers, let's do this. Remember to leave the money at the door of the people's houses after stealing. Remember, we have no choice this time, and we won't do it next time." Liu Houming said softly, but his words were extremely expressive. firm.
Among the people present, no one said a word and just nodded lightly - they were all brothers who had been through life and death together, and some things were tacitly understood.
…
As a result, Zhao Damin's family was attacked by thieves, and his family's food was stolen. Even the pigs in the pig pen that were to be killed for the New Year were stolen while they were sleeping.
I don’t know why, but that night, none of the dogs in the village barked...
When Zhao Damin got up to go to the toilet, he found that his dog had been tied up with a rope and struggling in a ditch full of weeds.
All of this is telling Zhao Damin: His home has been robbed!
So Zhao Damin quickly called his wife and mother to see what was missing, and found that the grain in the cellar was missing and the pigs in the pigsty were also missing.
Looking at the pieces of ocean placed in front of the door, could Zhao Damin not understand what was going on?
"Thousand-knife killers have been robbed!!!" Zhao Damin's furious voice echoed throughout Zhaojia Village.
Zhaojiacun has not suffered a thief in more than ten years. That is because the people in Zhaojiacun have always been very united. Once a family is robbed, the whole village will definitely go out to find trouble for those thieves, so there are no thieves. People who are willing to provoke them from Zhaojiacun.
But I didn't expect that this time, Zhaojiacun would recruit another thief in more than ten years, and this was no ordinary thief.
