A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan
Chapter 24 Return to Yang City
The next morning, Commander Wei ordered the troops to prepare for departure, and Cheng Ying also packed up her belongings.
Commander Wei said, "Xiao Zhang, get the wounded and all comrades on the vehicles and prepare to depart."
Indeed, the spoils of war included not only two large trucks, but also a batch of heavy weapons. It can be said that our army achieved a great victory and returned with a full load.
The villagers of Zhaojiazhuang also returned to the village. Before leaving, Cheng Ying left some grain for the villagers. The elders and folks of Zhaojiazhuang saw the soldiers off from afar, waving to them warmly.
Before long, the troops left Zhao Family Village and headed towards Yangcheng.
When Cheng Ying's troops passed through Zhoujiazhuang and Lijiacun, they saw the villagers guarding outside the villages. The vehicles immediately slowed down, and the villagers kept waving to them.
When Commander Wei got off the bus to visit the villagers, Cheng Ying also left some grain for the two villages.
Along the way, the soldiers were filled with joy and looked forward to the battles to come. The vehicles drove over the rugged mountain roads and finally arrived in Yangcheng.
The atmosphere in Yangcheng was tense and solemn. Anti-Japanese slogans were posted on the city walls, and the streets and alleys were filled with the smell of war.
Cheng Ying and her comrades quickly threw themselves into the defense of Yangcheng, using the captured heavy weapons to strengthen the city's defenses.
Cheng Ying was strolling around the city that day, because Yangcheng had been occupied by our army and the Japanese were not allowed to appear here.
The atmosphere here seemed quite good because everyone was Chinese and hated the Japanese army and traitors. Even the villagers in Yangcheng were vigilant and kept a close eye on the people coming and going. If they found any Japanese soldiers or strangers coming in, it would be very obvious.
Cheng Ying glanced up and saw a man in a Zhongshan suit not far away. He was wearing a hat with the brim pulled down so low that she couldn't see his face.
He was very tall and walked in a hurry, giving people a strange feeling. Out of curiosity, Cheng Ying was afraid that he was a spy, so she followed him cautiously.
They soon arrived at a deserted alley. The alley was desolate, and several houses seemed to be uninhabited. Cheng Ying quickened her pace to shorten the distance between herself and the man.
Suddenly, the man realized he was being followed and turned around abruptly. Cheng Ying was startled and immediately assumed a defensive stance.
The man sized up Cheng Ying, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He slowly removed his hat, revealing a resolute face.
"So it's you, Comrade Cheng Ying," the man said with a smile.
Cheng Ying was taken aback and looked at him in confusion, "How do you know me?"
The man introduced himself: "I am an agent sent by my superiors to assist you. My name is Li Zhengyuan, and I am in charge of intelligence work in Yangcheng."
In Yangcheng, I imagine your name is already very well-known; I've long admired you.
Cheng Ying thought to herself, "No wonder he works in intelligence; he recognized me at a glance!" Cheng Ying smiled and said, "Am I that famous?"
Li Zhengyuan said, "Of course, you really shouldn't disbelieve me. You're a well-known hero in Yangcheng, and a prominent leader in the team. You're a woman who's just as capable as any man, and many people admire you."
Cheng Ying breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she shook the man's hand. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they decided to work together to protect Yangcheng.
Cheng Ying: "By the way, what are you doing here? This place looks desolate, no one lives here? Is your workplace here?"
Li Zhengyuan said, “To do our job, we have to find a secluded work location. This place is relatively desolate with few people, so it’s convenient to do whatever we want.”
"Oh, right, there's something I just discussed with Commander Wei back at the regiment. We were thinking of getting a batch of grain from you. Commander Wei said to just come to you, and I hadn't even had a chance to look for you before I ran into you."
Cheng Ying thought to herself that this Commander Wei wasn't very reliable. He didn't talk to me about the grain he needed, but instead asked someone else to talk to me. He was really too careless!
Even if this person is on our side, Cheng Ying doesn't want more people to know her secret!
Sigh! Oh well, since I've already told one person, a second person will find out, and then everyone will probably know.
Let's not worry about those things for now and just take it one step at a time! If anyone dares to scheme against her, Cheng Ying won't back down.
Cheng Ying lost interest in shopping any further, so she went home.
As soon as Cheng Ying entered the gate, she ran into Hu Zi. "Hey, Cheng Ying, Commander Wei was just looking for you."
Cheng Ying: "Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
Commander Wei probably contacted her because he needed to procure food.
Cheng Ying arrived at the regimental commander's office and knocked on the door. "Report!"
Commander Wei said, "Come in!"
Cheng Ying pushed open the door and went in, and saw Commander Wei sitting on the table, staring at a topographic map.
Cheng Ying: "Commander, I heard you were looking for me."
Regiment Commander Wei looked up from the map and at Cheng Ying, saying, "Yes, it's a comrade who was just assigned here from above. He said he needs a batch of grain, the more the better, and asked me to ask you how much you can get."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying thought to herself, "So that's what it was all about."
Cheng Ying said, "Commander, we have food, but could you please tell one less person next time that I have food here? Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain later, and it will put me in a very difficult position."
Upon hearing this, Regiment Commander Wei said, "Hmm, Xiao Cheng, is this really not my fault? It's the other side. He's the captain of the information department. Their information sources are very accurate. They found out long ago that the grain came from you."
Cheng Ying was startled and said, "Are they really that resourceful? Did they find out where my food came from?"
Regiment Commander Wei replied, "No, because you are one of our own, so no matter how you obtained these grains and medicines, they are beneficial to our army."
In other words, the greater your ability, the more benefits you will bring to us.
Comrade Cheng Ying, I know your capabilities. Beyond what we see, we are comrades, we are one of us. None of us would do anything to harm you. Please rest assured on this point. You must believe that we are brothers and sisters fighting side-by-side, comrades who can entrust the next generation to each other.”
Commander Wei said sincerely and excitedly. Cheng Ying was also very moved when she heard this. She felt that the people of this era were very warm and sincere, and they were all very lovely.
Cheng Ying said, "Commander, rest assured, I trust you. I know that with great power comes great responsibility. I will do my best to help our people, and I hope that with our joint efforts, we can drive out the invading Japanese devils!"
Commander Wei said, "Cheng Ying, you're a good comrade. I'm entrusting the grain matter to you from now on."
Cheng Ying replied, "No problem, we'll have news in a couple of days."
Cheng Ying returned to her dormitory, closed the door, and then slipped into the space.
Inside the space, she first looked at the amount of grain stored in the warehouse. There were about 20,000 jin of rice alone, and 5,000 jin each of wheat and corn.
This doesn't even include sorghum, millet, peanuts, sesame seeds, and other grains that aren't considered staple foods.
There are many varieties of vegetables and fruits, but vegetables are rarely taken out. As for fruits, there's no question about what can and cannot be taken out; there's a clear bottom line in mind.
