The sleeping baby suddenly reached out and kicked and started crying. A Xiu quickly put down the work in his hand, reached out and touched the quilt. There was no feeling of wetness, so he picked up the child, untied the collar, and stuffed the milk into the child's mouth. Smelling the familiar smell of the mother and sucking the sweet milk, the baby stopped crying and calmed down.

Although she is a daughter, there is a little bit of beauty, this little man adds joy and vitality to the family. Arida Niang finally has grandchildren, and her face is full of happiness. Whenever she has time, she holds her granddaughter and doesn't want to. She hasn't been tolerant of her baby for many years, and she seems to remember when she was a mother. What are you afraid of when you have a daughter? One is the second one, and the old man is looking forward to the prospect of a family of children.

Ah Xiu fed her daughter, looked at her lovingly, humming softly, and her face showed the great glory of motherhood. Isn’t this the happy life she hoped for when she was experiencing difficulties and hardships? Having a family, marrying a good man, and giving birth to a fat baby. This is all God is blessing. If she hadn’t met Meng Youtian in the mountains, she and Xiao Man would have turned into wolf dung.

The more satisfied she felt, the more she focused on her own man. Meng Youtian was all about her. With him, her family's life would get better and better. If there were any storms, her own man could support her.

With the sound of kicking footsteps, Meng Youtian walked into the house, smiled at his wife, sat by the kang, staring at the baby's fat face and his little arm like a lotus root. This is his own child. Meng Youtian still remembers that when the child was just born, he hugged the pink baby and opened his mouth and cried. He actually felt a sense of confusion. He felt at a loss.

"This girl is so tightly guarding her." Meng Youtian reached out and touched her daughter's fat white calves. He said with a smile: "I'm eating one in my mouth and covering one in my hands. Who is still snatching her?"

A Xiu looked at Meng Youtian and thought about the shameful scene. Her face turned red and she spat lightly. "You have the nerve to say, is it embarrassing?"

Meng Youtian looked embarrassed at all. He stretched out his hand to the baby's face and wiped A Xiu's oil beside his hand, which made the child hum. He arched into his mother's arms to express his dissatisfaction.

A Xiu angrily hit Meng Youtian's hand and said, "Tomorrow, I will only buy what can be used by the buyers, so don't spend money randomly."

Meng Youtian nodded slightly and said, "That's natural. Besides, whoever buys and sells now uses paper money, it's all real money and silver. We can't bear to leave it alone, so it's more convenient to barter it."

A Xiu nodded and said, "You should take Xiao Man with you. You are a little famous now. I'm afraid you feel a little embarrassed to set up a stall to shout, right?"

"What's fame and shame, I never thought so." Meng Youtian smiled and touched Axiu's hair, stood up and said, "I'm going to clean up. There are many people going to our village. I have to set a time to go together to take care of me."

…………

The sky was just a little bright, and it was a wonderful and vast moment. The white sky was still scattered with a few stars. It was shrouded in the mysterious Bo Ming everywhere.

Meng Youtian got up early, and Xiao Man and A Xiu were also earlier than him. They prepared hot soup and water meals. After eating, they drove the livestock cart to the entrance of the village. Many people in the village had to buy things, but they didn't go all of them. This was also the right thing for Meng Youtian to plan. He registered the company for selling something and what products to exchange for. This would save manpower and do more things.

More than a dozen livestock cars gathered at the entrance of the village, and the traded items from each company were also delivered to load into the car. Meng Youtian commanded the cart to start.

The air was filled with the cold air at dawn, and the sun finally poked its head out from the distant mountain top. The huge glittering disc gradually lifted up on the sleepy earth, awakening external things in the world.

Xiao Man sat on the shaft of the car, pressing her gun on her shoulder from time to time, aiming at the target of the four fields. The fields after the busy farming show a desolate scene. The sides of the ditch are full of bare crop fields, and piles of sorghum stems, bean straws, and wheat stems are scattered.

Meng Youtian looked up from a distance and saw the land that the villagers built dams with stones and flattened on the hillside. Although each piece of land was not big, irregular, pointed, semicircular, and trapezoidal, it accumulated a lot, and the total amount was no less than that of several or dozens of acres of land that had been reclaimed. The soil was ready-made and dug out from the ground; the farmer was hardworking and could endure hardships.

After hard work, people who are not afraid of hardship or fatigue build small and small terraces built with stones, some have to build high, and then fill the soil from the bottom of the mountain into flat ground in baskets. In these high and low terraces, sorghum, millet, beans, and corn are ripe. Green radish and vines grow on the slopes. In the ditch where crops cannot be planted, they are planted with persimmon trees, jujube trees and chestnut trees.

In fighting and producing at the same time, Meng Youtian pursed his lips proudly. This is his achievement, although it is not a huge change that changes history. People are too ambitious and often become losers or losers. When they travel to later generations, they say a few big words and a profound theory, and the heroes and heroes bow to their heads. The scenes that my brother loyally supported are just a fantasy. People in the past may have little knowledge, but they are not stupid, especially those elite figures, who are not frivolous and should have more thoughts.

"Brother-in-law." Xiao Man's call interrupted Meng Youtian's thoughts, "Let me go hunting next time I go to the mountain. I have to hurry up and practice. I will definitely win the first place next time in the militia competition."

Meng Youtian nodded with a smile. Since her sister-in-law won the third place in the militia competition, she has not only not been proud, but she is quite dissatisfied. Thinking about it, there are not many female militiamen at all, and she is holding a good gun, but she is really unable to hold on to the first place.

"Don't just nod, you have to teach me well." Xiao Man pouted with anger, "You are busy with this and that all day long, or you just go to the new village to find that-hum, you don't care at all."

"Stay and calm, snipers are not enough to be good at shooting skills." Meng Youtian gently waved his whip and said disrespectfully: "More shooting will certainly help improve. But some basic skills are also indispensable. Practice more aiming to enhance your eyesight, practice more guns to improve your arm strength, and breathing control, and the timing of pulling the plate machine. I will teach you these, but you have to take a step! As for you, your biggest problem now is frizz. Of course, this also has to do with your age."

"What else? If I learn it, can I catch up with you?" Xiao Man asked with her bright eyes blinking.

"And—" Meng Youtian pondered for a moment and said, "That is a murderous heart, a calm heart that is still in the face of blood. Hunting is indeed a good way to exercise. In some ways, killing a wild animal is not much different from killing a person."

"There is still a difference." Xiao Man shook her head in a vague way and said, "I dare to kill chickens and ducks, but if you really kill someone, you are still a little scared."

"Then you change your mind." Meng Youtian said: "You and your sister were almost eaten by wolves in the mountains. Do you hate wolves? Yes, you must hate. Wolves only eat people when they are hungry, but the Japanese devils regard killing as a pleasure, which is a hundred times worse than wolves. Killing a devil may save a person, save a family, or even save your relatives and friends. So, what's the fear of killing these devils who are not as good as animals? You should be happy."

Xiao Man thought about it, laughed, and said, "Brother-in-law, after you said that, I really want to kill a few Japanese soldiers early."

"The devils are not scary. You will still die if you are shot. You will still eliminate the harm for the people. Killing the enemy for the country is a hero." Meng Youtian continued to enlighten and said, "You just need to practice your skills well, don't be anxious."

"I understand." Xiao Man seemed to really understand this time, and her bright eyes were shining with excitement.

In addition to material equipment and training level, the combat effectiveness of an army or a soldier also depends on the psychology of killing people. In fact, people are born to be disgusted by killing similar people, and subconsciously they actually hate killing people. This is a psychological barrier, which is even more serious for militias who are not professional soldiers. But now it is a life-and-death war, and the enemy they face is cruel and violent. If you do not break this obstacle, hesitation and soft-heartedness in the fight will inevitably pay a heavy price.

"You did a good job in this militia competition." Meng Youtian smiled and encouraged: "The main problem is that you are not familiar with this weapon enough and your lack of experience in big scenes. Tell me, are you very nervous when you look at it so many people?"

Xiaolan tilted her head and nodded, "Well, brother-in-law, you're right. I was a little blushed at that time."

Meng Youtian smiled slightly and raised his hand and whipped it. Only by finding the problem can progress be rapid. Xiao Man's physical fitness is good, but her psychological quality still needs to be exercised. But with him, as a good teacher, Xiao Man is obedient and obedient, and her shooting skills are not far away than her peers.

…………

Opening a market and strengthening commodity circulation is also one of the measures of the base area. Faced with the difficulties in the base area caused by the Japanese economic blockade, the base area government has also adopted some flexible policies. On the one hand, it vigorously advocates self-reliance and hard work, and on the other hand, it also trades with speculative merchants.

Among the speculators, there are guys with complex backgrounds and great powers; there are also people who sacrifice their lives and smuggle from the occupied areas to make money; there are even more enemy and puppet officers who are blinded by profit and have two sides. Anyway, no matter who you are, as long as you can transport the urgently needed things in, the base government will not only not arrest them, but will instead encourage them.

Marx once said that as long as there is a few times the profit, merchants are not afraid of beheading, which means they will risk beheading. Moreover, some intimidating materials, such as Western medicine, will be several times or even dozens of times the profit once transported in, and the temptation is still quite great.

This big restaurant was the first time since the fall of Xingping Town. I put some effort into the district. After passing the village about seven or eight miles, the market was located next to the road.

The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. There is also "food is the most important thing for the people". After Meng Youtian came to the market, he remembered two such sentences.

Life is life, in order to be able to have a meal and to struggle to survive. Whether it is the people who work hard in the base area or the people who suffer in the occupied areas, they all make the most basic living conditions.

Meng Youtian directed the people in the village to set up stalls, and walked around the market with two people, got familiar with the prices, and only officially opened after he came back. But he was not optimistic because most of the stalls were local products from farmers and the business was not easy to do!

…………………

The base area faces difficulties due to the Japanese blockade. The Japanese in the county did not feel relaxed. Kono Hiroji and Takahei Daman were painstakingly pondering the next action plan and talking about the big event that just happened.

Kono Hiroji drank sake and sighed softly. He slapped the table with his hands and said, "The Chinese culture is profound and profound, but unfortunately it has declined since modern times. East Asia and even the entire Asia can now resist the invasion and rule of the white people under the leadership of the Yamato nation. Unfortunately, most Chinese people do not recognize this and insist on opposing the imperial army. They can only use steel and war to make them surrender."

"What you said is very true." Longping Daman half agreed and half expressed emotion: "The war against China is already a protracted war. Instead of blindly pursuing Chiang's regime with force, it is better to maintain the necessary combat power and move towards building a new China. However, Beizhi believes that supporting the Wang family to power is a bit too hasty, which may be counterproductive."

"Unfortunately, the upper-level officials believed that the Wang family had been following the Sun ZS revolution since the late Qing Dynasty, and had a high moral character, and had a high position in the ruling Kuomintang. They were very appealing to the middle and upper-level people in China. As soon as he took action to clean up the mess in China, the Chinese people would inevitably support it enthusiastically. Once a 'New China' headed by Wang Jingwei was established, Chiang Kai-shek's anti-Japanese government would be isolated, and Japan's great cause of conquering China would be successfully completed."

Kameda Tomono said sarcastically, then gently waved his head, as if he was throwing these unhappiness behind his head, and continued: "In order to meet the need of Wang's nationwide pro-Japanese government in Nanjing, the Commander has decided to establish a new China Expeditionary Army General Headquarters in Nanjing. Lead the North China Front Army, the 11th Army (Wuhan), the 13th Army (Shanghai, Nanjing), the 21st Army (South China), and all the army units in China. In order to reflect the new strategic idea of ​​Prime Minister Abhi's specialization in dealing with China's war of resistance, the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army was held by two giants, including the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army, the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army, and the Director of Education, General Nishio Shozo, was appointed as the Chief of the General Staff, and General Seishiro Itagaki was appointed as the Chief of Staff."

"It seems that Wang's coming to power is a foregone conclusion." Takahira Daman pursed his lips, changed the subject, and said, "I heard that Mr. Kimura is about to be transferred. I think this is a good thing. If you are in charge of your master, you will be less restrictive. Shu Beizhi is rude, and Mr. Kimura's mind is a bit stiff, and he is just a rough man."

"Others say he is a rough man, so he has to inject fresh content into his lifestyle." Kono Hiroji did not hide his feelings in front of his heart and said with some amusement: "He learned some Chinese characters from others, tried to browse some Chinese poetry, calligraphy and painting, fiddled with some antiques, and wanted to dress himself up as more elegant and elegant."

"Haha, superficial skills, such art of being so elegant, if you don't know, you're just imitating me." Longping Daman shook his head and commented.

"Yes!" Kono nodded and agreed: "When he became angry when things went wrong, he forgot all his graceful and reserved demeanor. He would spit out any rough words from his mouth, and he would wish to swallow the other party in one bite. At this time, Chinese thread-bound books would be torn to pieces, antiques and treasures would fly into the air with an ancient mind, and everything would return to its originality."

Takapei Daman shook his head and smiled bitterly, complimenting: "For the general, lightning comes from the side but his eyes are not instant, and Mount Tai collapses in front but his expression remains unchanged. He plans in the tent and wins thousands of miles away to achieve extraordinary achievements and omnipotent power. You are irritable and angry, and you are hindering the war. Only you have the demeanor and qualities of a general and can you make greater contributions."

Kono Hiroji turned his eyes out the window and said with a reserved attitude: "National affairs are the priority. At the critical moment, you must give up your personal reputation and future. For the sake of the empire's East Asian hegemony, personal life and death are nothing. I have been thinking, what are the inappropriate and weaknesses of the leap forward and erosion a while ago? Takahira, what do you have to think about?"

Longping Daman pondered for a moment and said, "Bizhi believes that the main problem is the lack of military strength, which makes the rear empty. In addition, the enemy is too cunning and too despicable."

Kono Hiroji smiled faintly and said, "Takahiro, you don't have to hide anything. I am not the narrow-minded person who doesn't accept advice. The biggest problem is that I think it's because I'm a little eager to achieve success and the distance to leap forward is too large, which makes the enemy take advantage of loopholes. In addition, the defense of the highway is too weak, of course, this can also be attributed to the problem of insufficient troops. In short, we underestimate the enemy and are too arrogant."

Longping Daman lowered his head gently, apologized and agreed, and then said: "What you said is very true. We are too contemptuous of the enemy's ability to attack, unknown information on the enemy's movement, insufficient mobilization ability of the enemy, and too confident in our army's defensive ability. These are the reasons for the failure."

Kono nodded and said in a low voice: "I have asked the intelligence department to step up the infiltration and reconnaissance of the enemy. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can we not be defeated. I believe that valuable information will be transmitted soon. In addition, our policy of encroachment in the next stage should be changed to small steps, and the distance to set up a stronghold should be limited to the range of the rifle. Takahira, what do you think?"

"Limited to the range of the rifle?" Longping Daman hesitated and said, "If this happens, the troops may be insufficient, right?"

Kono Hiroji tapped the table gently and said with some regret: "Yes, it's hard to cook without rice. But I believe this situation will change. We should make a plan first, be prepared for any trouble!"
