Gao Cang naturally had no reason to hide it from the teacher, so he told the teacher everything about how they were surrounded and how they were rescued. The teacher just remembered the name Zhao Zhiguo, and then fell asleep again.

"Hey, it seems that I am really lucky!"

Zhao Zhiguo was relieved to learn that the division commander had woken up. If the division commander really didn't survive, let alone what the brothers in the security company would do to him. Even if he reached a safe area, Zhao Zhiguo would inevitably have to go to a military court.

After the soldiers got sufficient rest, their morale also improved a lot. Although the soldiers were still in tatters, their mental outlook was completely new. On the way back, many soldiers had gradually become accustomed to obeying Zhao Zhiguo's orders.

The troops lay dormant day and night, using the sky as quilts and the ground as beds. After seeing the cruelty of the Japs, the soldiers did not ask to enter the village to rest. There was no food, so they put on ordinary people's clothes and went to nearby villages to buy them.

grain.

Along the way, Zhao Zhiguo and the others encountered many of their own troops, and they were all defeated, including the Jinsui Army, the Central Army, and their Northwest Army.

"Brothers, would you like to join us and go back with us?"

During the daytime reconnaissance, Zhao Zhiguo encountered a group of thirty or forty soldiers, half of whom had lost their weapons.

These defeated soldiers had sad faces, hunched bodies, and hunger made them walk weakly. Many of them never had a full meal after going to the battlefield.

After the defeat, most of the soldiers did not eat one meal at a time, and some even did not eat a grain of rice for a whole day and just kept their heads down and hurried on.

"Brother, do you have food in your stomach? It's definitely not possible for you to walk like this. Even if you don't get caught up by the little devil, you will starve to death on the road."

The soldiers still kept their heads down and hurried on. They were not even willing to say a word to Zhao Zhiguo to avoid wasting their energy.

"Brothers, I am the same as you. We both came down from the front line of the Great Wall. If you follow me, we will have food."

At this time, nothing is more tempting than food. When they heard that there was food, the thirty-odd soldiers immediately stopped. Their originally dull eyes were filled with luster, like a walking zombie who suddenly saw something in front of them.

Like a living person, he wanted to treat Zhao Zhiguo as food.

Seeing their appearance, Zhao Zhiguo gave a wry smile and said to Dianhou beside him: "It seems that the food we just bought can't be saved."

Although the food was gone, at least the people remained. In this way, Zhao Zhiguo and the others marched at night, and during the day he took Dianhou out to "deceive and abduct" them, even using the title of division commander.

"Brothers, follow us and have something to eat."

"Brothers, do you want to go home? I can take you back."

It only took four days for Zhao Zhiguo to pull out half of the company's troops. However, the situation of this half of the company was not optimistic. Half of the people had no weapons, and the remaining half were beaten to death by the Japs.

For a unit like theirs, they would probably all run away once the Japs launched a charge.

"Zhiguo, look at these people, can they fight?" Zhao Ziming felt uneasy. After all, he was not as good as the brothers he got along with day and night.

The food was almost eaten by these people. They hurried when they wanted to go and rested when they wanted to. They were quite obedient. But when it came to fighting, except for the few old brothers they had left at the beginning and the guard company under Gao Cang,

As soon as the gunshot rang out, everyone else suddenly dispersed.

"Whether we can fight or not depends on how we lead them. Currently we have two problems, one is guns, and the other is food."

The little devils ate wherever they went and robbed villages and towns when they came across them. But they were Chinese troops, not bandits, and certainly not little devils, so they naturally had to choose more civilized methods.

It's okay if you don't have a gun, but at worst, you'll encounter little devils walking around. If there's no food, tomorrow these people will ask who Zhao Zhiguo is? They don't know him!

"Yes, it's not just them who need to eat. The division commander and the seriously injured soldiers especially need nutrition. We don't have much money in our hands, so we all have to buy food." Gao Cang said.

It doesn't matter whether the others eat or not. Gao Cang cares about the division commander and his brothers in the guard company.

"Is there a town nearby?" Zhao Zhiguo asked, "I need a guide now."

"You really found the right person!" Gao Cang said confidently, "I'm not familiar with other places, but I couldn't be more familiar with this place. When I followed the division commander to fight with the Northeast Army, I once passed by this place and talked with

The locals asked about the situation nearby.”

"It seems we have a living map!" Zhao Zhiguo said happily.

"It's not like a living map. Back then, when the warlords were fighting, I did go to many places with the troops on their expeditions to the north and south. The town is called Shunning Town, which is about twenty miles south of us."

"Okay, in that case, without further ado, we will go to the outskirts of Sunning Town tonight." Zhao Zhiguo made a decision immediately.

After dawn, Zhao Zhiguo and Gao Cang dressed up as ordinary people and entered the town.

After many inquiries, Zhao Zhiguo learned that there was a security group in Shunning Town with hundreds of people and ten guns. The leader of the security group was Sun Yuanhua. This person controlled Shunting Town with the help of the security group and was the local emperor of Shunning Town.

The largest compound in Shunning Town is Sun Yuanhua's home. According to people in the town, Sun Yuanhua's home contains tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and countless gold, silver and jewelry.

"You don't really want to rob the rich and give to the poor, do you?" Gao Cang asked.

"Robbing the rich and giving to the poor? No, no, no..." Zhao Zhiguo shook his head like a rattle, "We are educated people, we work hard with our brains and don't bleed!"

"Just you? Huan Wenren? When I saw you killing the last three soldiers of the Japs, I thought you were like an evil ghost who came from hell to seek life." Gao Cang thought of Zhao Zhiguo holding a machine gun just a few days ago.

The three little devils were shocked. They really didn't look like educated people.

"Even if Sun Yuanhua becomes rich and unkind, they are still our compatriots anyway. We just come to them to borrow some food."

Zhao Zhiguo was not a murderous person, and his knowledge of Sun Yuanhua was only hearsay. It was impossible for him to kill someone just because of the news he heard on the road.

"borrow?"

"Let's go, let's take a walk around Sun's house first and see the specific situation before we talk."

When he arrived near Sun's house, Zhao Zhiguo was really shocked by the scene in front of him. He thought those people were exaggerating, but now it seems that those people's description was far from enough.

The courtyard wall of the Sun family alone is as high as two people. There are twelve steps at the door. Two stone lions line both sides of the door. There are also people standing guard at the door.

"Hey, look, look! There is a patrol here." Gao Cang saw a patrol of twelve people passing by the main street. "If you say that this person has done nothing wrong, I really don't believe it.

How could a good family be so well-guarded and keep the door closed in broad daylight?"
