Chapter 219: Food Issues
The brothers were so tired that they slept until the afternoon, saving even lunch. ●⌒,
After several reconnaissances, it was confirmed that the Japanese army still set up camp in Shangcun and increased its troops, with the visual number of no less than 500.
Obviously, since the "Yasha" has appeared in Shangcun, it is very likely that they are their hidden place nearby, and it is normal to garrison more troops here.
If there is less than one squadron's strength, isn't that equivalent to giving "Yasha" another chance?
Masao Ikeda now has strong troops, so naturally he will not make such low-level mistakes because of insufficient troops.
"Boss, we have reconnaissance. Qiligang and Wild Wolf Valley have increased their troops, at least doubled their troops, as well as cavalry and artillery. It seems that the Japanese want to solve us in Qinglong Mountain." All three reconnaissance teams have returned and brought back the latest reconnaissance results.
"More than twice the strength, as well as cavalry and artillery, how can we say, the Japanese troops besieging Qinglong Mountain have almost 3,000?" Leng Feng was a little surprised.
A brigade of Japanese troops was stationed in Nanjing City, with less than 10,000 troops. One third of the troops were transferred.
It seems that the Japanese really want to get rid of themselves and get out of here.
"Wake everyone up and go back first." Leng Feng ordered, and he would go to meet with Fang Xiaoyang and the brothers of Chuan Jun first.
After more than three hours of difficult journey, Leng Feng led the team back to the original cave.
After almost two days of rest, many people from the Sichuan Army who received food supplements were able to stand up and stand on their own, and even help others.
This greatly relieved the hard work of Song Yunfeng and others.
Song Yunfeng has been very tired these two days. The condition of these Sichuan troops is really bad.
Liang Dong and the others brought some dry food and medicines themselves. Although the quantity was not large, they could at least solve the problem of coal burning.
Although the amount of food and some medicine was seized from the Kikuchi Squadron, the Sichuan Army, which was gradually recovering its strength, was not enough for a few days.
There is even shortage of medicines.
what to do?
This is a big problem. It is a hurdle that must be passed in front of the cold front.
"Brother Wu, I will use the captured Japanese guns and ammunition to equip you, but the number is currently limited. I can only equip half of the people first." No matter what, I can't stop what I should do.
"Too, it's great." Wu Xinhua was very excited. After all, these weapons and ammunition were seized by others. How to distribute them? It's all their affairs. Moreover, their lives are saved by others. Food, drink, and medical treatment are all their own. No matter how shameless they are, it is not suitable to ask for things.
"You guys should hurry up and restore your physical strength and restore your combat effectiveness. Next, we need Brother Wu to cooperate with us to fight together!" Leng Feng said solemnly.
"Brother Leng, don't worry, as long as you fight the Japanese, there is no coward in our Sichuan Army!" Wu Xinhua said with a flash of fire in his eyes.
If he hadn't had good equipment and had all the bullets fired, he wouldn't have taken the whole regiment to burrow the ravine, and he would have almost wiped out the entire army.
This was a huge shame for him and he had to be retrieved from the Japanese.
"Okay, it's too dark and wet, we're dry, and we can take care of each other when we're together. So I plan to move to wherever we are."
"Okay, okay!" Wu Xinhua nodded immediately to agree. Anyway, they have broken kites and children without parents. Now someone is willing to accept them, so why would he not be willing?
Even if Leng Feng said he wanted to incorporate them, Wu Xinhua would not have a second thought.
Under Leng Feng's direct arrangement, Liang Dong led his men to help the Sichuan Army to start moving. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that all the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army were resettled.
All the Sichuan Army officers and soldiers wore warm cotton coats, and many of them shed tears of emotion.
After the re-count, there were only 463 people left. In this day, the forty-four brothers of Sichuan Army could not survive and fell asleep forever.
However, there are more than 60 Sichuan Army brothers with good physical fitness who have recovered quickly and are able to walk around freely and even do some simple work.
For example, boiling water, cooking rice, etc.
"Boss, the problem is still very serious. Today, four Sichuan Army brothers have high fevers. There are not many antipyres left. Now we can only use physical fever reduction methods. However, the Sichuan Army brothers are weak and have weak resistance. I am afraid that if there is no medicine, they will not be able to hold on." Song Yunfeng looked sad.
"Where is Chinese medicine? Can you use Chinese medicine?"
"We are stuck here, how can we buy Chinese medicine?"
"Let's find a way to increase nutrition with the brothers of the Sichuan Army. All the Japanese canned foods we seized are given to the brothers of the Sichuan Army. It doesn't matter if we eat them ourselves." Leng Feng ordered.
"Boss, even if we contribute all of this, it will be a drop in the bucket." Liang Dong said.
"This season, it's not easy to hunt, otherwise you can hunt, get some hares, pheasants, etc., which is much better than eating canned food." Leng Feng shook his head.
"Sir, we can catch fish. I know some ponds have fish and there are big fish!" The honest Lin Benqin suggested.
"It's such a cold day, if you go to the river to catch fish, won't you freeze to death?"
"If only there was a fishing net..."
"Fishing net?" Leng Feng's eyes lit up. Didn't the ropes of the three of them take back? Can the ropes of the parachute be woven into a fishing net?
"Benqin, can you weave fishing nets?"
"Yes, sir, although I am not a fisherman, we have many rivers here. We often go down the river to catch fish. During the New Year, we also go down the river to catch fish, so it is not difficult to weave fishing nets." Lin Benqin said.
"That's great, let's weave nets to catch fish, haha, so we have our food, fish is rich in protein and nutritious. The Japanese want to sleep us to death, but there is no door." Leng Feng laughed.
"What are Captain Leng laughing about?" Zhang Fengxiang walked over and asked curiously when he heard the laughter here.
"I'm happy that our food problem can be solved for the time being.
"Has the food problem been solved?" Zhang Fengxiang was very surprised.
"We plan to weave a fishing net and go down the net to catch fish. The fish is delicious and it was thought of by the brothers Benqin." Leng Feng praised.
“Where are fish?”
"There are also rivers outside and our underground river, but the river water is too deep and people dare not go down. There is no problem with fishing nets." Leng Feng explained.
"Well. This is good." Everyone smiled happily when they heard this. The Sichuan Army had no conditions and could not find a rope to weave a net. Naturally, they sighed at the river.
Leng Feng and the others are different. They have ready-made materials. This is the most critical and difficult fishing tool to solve, so there will naturally be no problem.
The workload of crafting a fishing net is very large, and Lin Benqin will definitely not be able to complete it in a short time. Fortunately, there are many people, so knitting fishing nets is not a particularly difficult technique. Besides, Leng Feng’s requirements are not high, and he does not want to be too beautiful, but only to be strong and useful, so everyone works together. The speed of crafting will naturally increase faster.
Thank you for the hard work in the middle of the night, a fishing net made of parachute ropes was officially completed.
The next morning, everyone got up early and had already chosen an underground river. Someone saw fish jumping out under the water and splashing water. However, because the river water was too fast and the water was very deep, no one dared to go down to catch fish.
But now the fishing nets are different.
I went down the first website and had no experience. I didn’t get anything, so I came online.
With Leng Feng's encouragement, the second net was spread again, and this time it was discovered. There were indeed fish under the water, but the fish was too cunning, and the fish was lacking in fishing skills. When the net was closed, it actually let it run out and run away.
Although there was no harvest, it strengthened everyone's confidence because I saw the fish.
After going down the third network, everyone was calmer this time than before. They slowly dragged the fishing net, and when the water came out, the speed of closing the net was faster!
"Boss, look, what a fat fish!" In the middle of the fishing net, a large fish of hundreds of kilograms was tossing on the water, looking extremely fierce. The underground river was turbulent. The fish that could live here must not be a good person.
"Drag it up, hurry up, don't let it run away!"
"Benqin, what kind of fish is this?"
"Sir Leng, I've grown up so old, I've never seen such a big fish." Lin Benqin said dumbfounded.
"It's coming up, it's so fierce..."
The big fish left the water and was even more violent. Unfortunately, it was now trapped in the fishing net. No matter how fierce the fish was, it could not escape the fate of being captured and was dragged to the shore.
What a big guy, if you go down alone, you can't catch it.
It is conceivable that even if the water flows fast and the water is not deep, ordinary people can't get such a big guy when dealing with such a big fish.
"Niu Miao, I'll leave you with the work of slaughtering fish."
"Just look, brother, I, the old cow, are an expert in killing fish!" Niu Miao was already very excited when he was taking such a job.
The fish slaughtering operation officially began. On the other hand, under the command of Yao Heizi, he was about to spread the fourth net.
Not every net has a harvest, but the final harvest is still quite large. A total of ten nets were pulled down and seven fish were harvested, and the smallest one was about twenty kilograms.
Total total, there are four or five hundred kilograms.
This is enough for everyone in the cave to have a beautiful day of eating.
The food problem has been solved.
"Boss, there is a Japanese plane circling over our heads." Wang Bin walked over eagerly and whispered in the ear of Leng Feng, who was watching Niu Miao fighting with the big fish.
"Go out and take a look." Leng Feng's chest pain had become much lighter. As long as he did not exercise vigorously and took a deep breath, the pain was not so obvious. He was just a little swollen in his chest, which was a natural phenomenon after the injury.
More than twenty minutes later, Leng Feng and Wang Bin came out of an exit and heard the sound of a "buzzing" plane motor coming from the sky. They found a hidden height. Leng Feng picked up the telescope and pointed it at the Japanese plane hovering over Qinglong Mountain.
This is a Japanese Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft, specially developed for the Japanese Army Aviation Corps. The Guangdong Army troops in the National Army have also equipped this reconnaissance aircraft. It is an old-fashioned reconnaissance aircraft with average performance.
"Boss, can this Japanese plane find us?"
"It's hard to say, remember that when there are Japanese aircraft reconnaissance in the sky, especially when flying at low altitudes, do not use a telescope to observe enemy aircraft to avoid exposing their location." Leng Feng instructed.
"I understand, to prevent the telescope mirror from reflecting, and to be discovered by Japanese planes."
"Smart, it seems that we have to be careful about activities." Leng Feng said, "Count the time, Du Shan, Tian Yao and the others are coming soon. Tonight, let's go to Wild Wolf Valley to have a look." (To be continued.)
