This killer star of the War of Resistance Against Japan was only 9 years old.

After resting for about 20 minutes, Wang Wu checked his watch and said to Zhuang Pu.

"That's about enough, let's go."

"Yes, that's fine. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the soldiers are likely to catch a cold if they spend the night outdoors. When we get to the second rest stop, which was a bandit's hideout before, we can make some rest there and let the soldiers have a hot meal."

Without hesitation, Wang Wu gathered his men and set off as the assembly command was given.

When the team reached the second rest stop, it had started snowing. Although the snow wasn't heavy, it showed no signs of stopping.

Finally, around 9 p.m. on the third night, we arrived in Huai City, where the entire land was now covered in snow.

As far as the eye can see, everything is covered in a blanket of silver, with only a few scattered pine trees adding a touch of green to this world of white.

"Comrade Wang Wu, you have finally arrived. You must have had a long journey."

Bai Luo looked up at the sound and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and looking refined, walking briskly towards the group.

Wang Wu first saluted, then immediately extended both hands to shake hands.

"Secretary Wang, you're too kind. The journey was relatively uneventful."

"I have brought the team over. There are 203 people in total. They are ready to follow your orders at any time."

"What are our specific tasks here?"

"No rush, let's arrange for the comrades to rest first, and we'll talk later."

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li. Come here and arrange for the guerrillas to rest and have some hot water to warm themselves up."

Secretary Wang waved to a soldier behind him.

"Hey, Captain Wang, why are you bringing a child with you? Our mission is a long and dangerous one. What if we encounter danger while you're with a child?"

“Secretary Wang, this child is going to Shanghai to stay with relatives. There is no one left in his hometown. It is not safe for him to go alone.”

After hearing this, Secretary Wang hesitated for a moment.

"Can this child handle such a long journey?"

"Secretary Wang, don't worry, this kid is very resilient and not that delicate," Wang Wu assured him.

When Secretary Wang heard what Wang Wu said, he didn't say anything more. Originally, he was just escorting a group of doctors and nurses to the rear base to establish a logistics hospital.

Bringing another child wouldn't make much difference. Besides, judging from Wang Wu's tone, the child wouldn't slow down the group's journey.

Bai Luo didn't hear the conversation between Secretary Wang and Wang Wu. He was following Xiao Li ahead to find a place to rest and have some water. There was no global warming here now.

In November, it started snowing. Although the snow wasn't heavy, it was still quite cold.

Led by Xiao Li, the group arrived at a low-lying area deep in the forest. After turning a corner, Bai Luo discovered that there was a hidden world inside. The low-lying area was backed by a mountain on one side and had a natural cave on the other.

Once inside, I found that the space was very large, with many side passages around. People who are not familiar with the area would probably not be able to get out for a while.

After entering the cave, the soldiers were divided into two groups. Bai Luo followed behind the pillar and came to a cave on one side.

Inside, there were seven or eight people sitting. A fire had already been lit, and a large pot was hanging above. The temperature inside the cave was significantly warmer than outside.

The ground wasn't damp. Bai Luo looked around and chose a spot against the cave wall to put down his bag, then told Sha Niu to put her backpack down as well.

I opened my backpack, took out my water bottle, and walked towards the campfire in the center of the cave.

The soldiers who were tending the fire saw a child walking over with a water bottle, so they quickly went up to take the bottle from Bai Luo and helped him fetch water.

While hitting him, he said, "Young comrade, you must be freezing. Drink some water to warm yourself up. Someone will bring you some wild vegetable soup and flatbread soon."

Upon hearing this, Bai Luo quickly thanked her, took the water bottle, and walked towards the direction of the silly girl.

Meanwhile, Silly Girl had already taken out the lunchbox Bai Luo had given her from her backpack and was munching on the already cold steamed bun inside.

I walked over and opened the kettle to pour some hot water for her. This silly girl, not afraid of choking, just ate the rock-hard frozen steamed bun directly.

It's a good thing she has good teeth.

Secretary Wang and Wang Wu walked towards this side from outside the cave, talking as they went.

"Secretary, from what you've said, this mission is quite arduous. There are more than 40 doctors and nurses, and it's getting colder and colder. It's still more than 400 kilometers to Suzhou City."

"Can these doctors and nurses, who can't lift heavy objects, handle it?"

"Moreover, we will have to cross several blockade zones along the way. Secretary, have you sent people to make arrangements along the route?"

"Don't worry about that. Everything along the way has been arranged. It's getting colder now, so the Japanese patrols are less frequent. We've also assigned comrades to monitor the checkpoints in the blockade area."

“Originally, you weren’t needed to come. Although we don’t have many people here, our plans are quite thorough. It’s just that there’s an operation in Suzhou and we can’t send any more people, so we arranged for you to come along.” “That’s good.” Wang Wu nodded. “By the way, Secretary, how long will it take us to get to Suzhou?”

"Given the current weather, it will take at least half a month," Secretary Wang frowned. "And the further we go, the colder the weather will get, and the more difficulties we will face."

Wang Wu looked at the exhausted soldiers and felt a deep sense of worry. "I hope everyone can reach Suzhou safely."

At that moment, a guerrilla fighter walked in and said, "Reporting to the secretary, the food and hot water are ready."

Secretary Wang stood up. "Alright, Wang Wu, eat first and replenish your energy."

He glanced down at his watch again. "They'll arrive in about three hours. Once they get there, we'll rest tonight and set off at dawn tomorrow, heading from the other side of the mountains, where there are no Japanese outposts."

"Haven't they arrived yet?" Wang Wu asked in surprise.

"Not yet. There are too many people, and their physical strength is not up to par. The message sent back by the people who went to meet them said that the earliest they could get there would be around midnight."

"Hopefully they arrive safely."

Secretary Wang murmured to himself, then forced himself to cheer up and led Wang Wu toward the cave.

Upon seeing the cave before him, Wang Wu couldn't help but exclaim, "Secretary Wang, your base is truly amazing!"

Secretary Wang smiled but did not answer the question.

"Go get something to eat and rest. You've been marching for three days straight, you must be exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu also felt the fatigue creeping through him, and stopped talking, following Secretary Wang to eat and rest.

For the next two weeks or so, we'll have to be on high alert at all times. Today is the second year of the War of Resistance, and the entire Jiangsu province has fallen. I wonder when we'll be able to drive the Japanese devils back to their homeland.

Around 11:30 at night, more than 10 miles east of the guerrilla base in Huai City.

Two groups of people were engaged in a fierce firefight, one chasing and the other fleeing.

"Hurry, hurry, keep up! Keep up! Run towards that forest to the southeast, our team is there!"

Two hundred meters behind one of the retreating groups, dozens of men and women were seen fleeing in panic.
