"This tastes better than those Japanese canned beef!"

"Don't doubt our Sichuan Army's level of outdoor barbecue!"

"At this time, there is a lack of wine. I can't go home without getting drunk. I can only try something new. It's a pity."

"..."

A bonfire was lit in the cave, and the flames were kept extremely strong to prevent unnecessary smoke from rising.

Wang Jiantang and Ding Jiaguo were talking there.

The aroma of horse meat spread throughout the cave.

The team consisted of about a hundred people, each of them had a large bowl of horse meat and some coarse grains placed in front of them, as well as some captured wine, but the amount of wine was not much.

Wang Jiantang picked up a large piece of horse meat with a branch.

As soon as he picked it up, he found the meat soft and elastic, with a fragrant aroma. He took a bite, and although it was hot, Wang Jiantang still felt extremely satisfied.

From the time when I ate white flour and carried a rusty Hanyang-made rifle.

Now, eating hot horse meat, holding a submachine gun, killing Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, Wang Jiantang chewed the horse meat in his mouth for a long time...

"There's just too little fat, it's all lean meat. It would be better if there were more oil!" Ding Jiaguo said as he picked up a piece of horse meat.

"Be content! If you were in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, you would have a share of the captured things, right?" Li Weiguo retorted.

Li Weiguo then raised a simple cup made of bamboo and held up a glass of wine.

"Captain, I'll toast you." Li Weiguo raised his glass and toasted to Lin Tianchen who was sitting next to him.

"Cheers, Captain." Ding Jiaguo immediately picked up the cup in his hand.

"Cheers, Captain." Wang Jiantang said nothing more, and everyone raised their simple bamboo cups and toasted.

Lin Tianchen looked at the three people's actions, smiled, raised the cup in his hand and said, "Let's drink together.

After that, drink it all in one gulp.

"Captain, I will definitely bring you more wine next time." Ding Jiaguo said, patting his chest.

After drinking the water in the cup in one gulp, Ding Jiaguo spoke loudly beside him.

"Let's recruit more people first. Li Weiguo has already recruited more than 20 people."

"Platoon Leader Wang, why do you always undermine me? You've only recruited a few people, and they're almost the same as me."

"I didn't."

Wang Jiantang and Ding Jiaguo were arguing jokingly.

Waves of noise also began to come from here.

In the cave, Cheng Tingying was holding roasted horse meat in her hand and looking at it curiously.

......

The late autumn in northwest Shanxi is as cold as the winter in the south, with strong and bitter winds.

Compared with the south, northwest Shanxi has begun to see bursts of snowflakes, covering the earth with a light white silver layer.

In the cave, Cheng Tingying washed some bloody gauze in the underground river and began to clean up.

Dozens of days have passed since they arrived at the cave. During this time, Cheng Tingying also discovered that these people came from all over the country.

There are Shu, Nanguang, and some people from northwestern Shanxi.

Cheng Tingying knew about this team. It was originally formed by defeated troops.

But after spending some time together, Cheng Tingying found that this did not look like a defeated army at all.

Not only does every soldier always have a smile on his face, but each of them is also full of passion, and the fighting spirit in their eyes cannot be concealed at all.

The most common phrases I hear are: "Are there any missions recently?", "Have you spotted any traces of the Japanese?", "Why hasn't the regiment commander assigned any missions yet?" and so on.

It seemed as if they were full of excitement and anticipation for the war.

During the time in the cave, Cheng Tingying also discovered that the number of people in the cave was gradually increasing. From the original one hundred people, it was estimated that the number had reached about three hundred people now.

On a flat ground outside the cave, you can see some teams training every day.

However, Cheng Tingying had no specific arrangements during this period. Wang Jiantang seemed to have forgotten her since Wanjia Town and had not contacted her again, so she could only find something to do on her own in the team for the time being.

Just as she packed up the gauze and stood up, a voice sounded behind her.

"Girl."

"Platoon Leader Wang... Battalion Commander Wang." Cheng Tingying had also heard some Sichuan Army soldiers talking and they all started calling Wang Jiantang Battalion Commander, so she changed her words.

"The captain and I have been busy recently, and now the captain wants to see you." Wang Jiantang said with a smile.

If it weren't for Fang Bailu's reminder, Wang Jiantang would have almost forgotten that he brought back a female college student from Wanjia Town.

However, one cannot blame him. As the team expanded, he was busier than he had imagined. Not only did he have to consider recruiting soldiers, but he also had to consider ensuring the soldiers' combat effectiveness, which involved the competition for the first battalion.

In addition, Lin Tianchen and Xiao Shanzi went out much more frequently than before, which obviously meant they were looking for the opportunity for the next battle.

This means that the ownership of the first battalion will be confirmed after the next battle. Wang Jiantang believes that the position of the first battalion must be taken.

"Okay." Cheng Tingying responded and followed Wang Jiantang.

......

Inside the cave, there is a tent simply built with tree trunks and coarse cloth.

Lin Tianchen had just drawn a map and handed it to Xiao Shanzi. Now that the conditions were gradually complete, he finally found some paper to draw some maps of the nearby area. Although he didn't need to look at them when giving orders, a strategic map was definitely needed for a better understanding when executing the orders.

Even Lin Tianchen didn't expect that his surveying and mapping major would come in handy here.

Lin Tianchen was looking at the drawn map when he heard footsteps and looked towards the entrance of the tent.

I saw two figures walking in.

"Commander, the people are here." Wang Jiantang said with a military salute.

Lin Tianchen looked at Wang Jiantang's figure and nodded.

Cheng Tingying, who was following behind Wang Jiantang, also imitated Wang Jiantang and saluted.

"Please sit down." Lin Tianchen pointed to a small flat stool made of wood and stone.

"Where are you from?"

"Chengjia Lane, Wanjia Town."

"What's your name?"

"Cheng Tingying."

"I heard you're a student? Where are you from?"

"Yes, third term in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Pudong National University."

Hearing this, Lin Tianchen paused and looked at the graceful girl in front of him.

In this era, the Department of Chemical Engineering, and at Pudong National University, made Lin Tianchen stare at the girl in front of him as if he had seen a treasure.

However, Lin Tianchen calmed down and looked at the girl in front of him again.

"Why did you join the army?"

"I want to avenge my father." When she said this, Cheng Tingying's eyes dimmed a little, and she continued: "My father had some property in the town, and those devils targeted my father. They brought people directly into the house and blinded my father. Later, the devils grabbed my father and threw him into a hungry dog ​​cage, biting him to death... on the bones..."

When saying this, Cheng Tingying clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with hatred.

The scenes of returning home still appeared in her mind.

The once vibrant home is now dead silent.

Lin Tianchen was silent. This kind of thing was a normal thing during the Anti-Japanese War.

History is too painful to read in detail, but when he flips through it, he sees the bloody cruelty.
