Chapter 166: Emotions?

The trick of disguise and penetration is simple to say, but difficult to do, but it is not something that can be easily made like in later novels or movies and TV. First of all, let’s talk about the problem of props. There is no unit that can gather hundreds of sets of clean Japanese military uniforms, steel helmets, guns, even horses, machine guns, grenade launchers, etc. You can’t carry Hanyang to pretend to be a Japanese devil, right? That’s not to stretch your head for a beating!

In addition, there are also talents who can speak Japanese fluently, adapt to changes, and be impeccable in their outfits. Of course, the performance effect can be fake and real, making the Imperial Army obedient.

It is already quite remarkable that the guerrillas can now gather twenty or thirty sets, and it is due to the accumulation over the years. In addition to Li Tie's expertise in intelligence work and the effective use of the resources of the enemy's Ministry of Works, the guerrillas are no less than a tiger's wings.

The surprise attack of the merchant shop gave the enemy a warning, even in the hinterland of the public security area, it was not absolutely safe, let alone the guerrilla area. Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, he would do the second-largest, and then steadily and piece by piece, which was also influenced by Meng Youtian. If he could promote his own methods and thinking without doing it himself, this was exactly the result that Meng Youtian hoped most.

It can be said that the efforts over the years have not been in vain. From mine warfare, tunnel warfare, to the improvement of militia quality, to the growth of guerrillas, Meng Youtian's influence is everywhere. It is precisely this influence, coupled with his deeds and numbers of bravely killing the enemy, which has formed an invisible layer of protection for him. As long as he does not kill or set fire, as long as he does not rebel or surrender to the enemy, some mistakes in the minor details can no longer do anything to him. Criticize and educate? Forget it, what can an ordinary person do to him?

As the snowflakes fell, the danger of drought that Meng Youtian was worried about seemed to have been reduced a lot. The Japanese's sweep would also end with the heavy snow. Although Xiaolouzhuang was still occupied by the enemy, retreating without fighting seemed to be the wise choice for the Japanese. Logistics pressure, instability in the security zone, road damage, and the decline in temperature... The Japanese faced more and more difficulties, and the motivation to persevere was weakening.

Even so, the degree of damage suffered by the North District during the sweeping raid was more serious than that of the South District. Longping Daman was ordered to mobilize more than 500 people to return to the security area to search and suppress the guerrillas, while the remaining troops joined forces with Kobayashi's brigade to carry out a new tactic exercise - the sweeping raid, which suffered great losses to the lives and property of the military and civilians in the North District.

"The snow was too small, and even the big stones were not covered." Meng Youtian looked at the clear sky again and stomped his feet gently, and his feet made a creaking sound. "If it had been several snowfalls in previous years, the roof would be thicker."

"As long as we don't miss the seeds in the next spring, it's good." The blind old man spewed out a thick white air, and his beard was covered with white frost. He squinted his one-eye and said, "God of China is still helping the Japanese? Let's not have enough food?"

"If God had eyes, wouldn't he have to kill all the beasts with lightning?" Meng Youtian teased: "It's useless to ask anyone, just rely on ourselves!"

"Depending on yourself, you can get things done in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month." The blind old man rolled his eyes and frowned and said, "Boy, where is your ability to seduce a big girl and a little wife? The matter with Zijuan has been dragged on endlessly?"

Meng Youtian smiled bitterly and didn't respond. It's hard to say this, but it's hard to say it, let it go!

The blind old man snorted and said, "No matter what you think, don't worry about throwing Zijuan away. Don't think I didn't see that, you are arranging your way back. Where did the fourth master in Jiulongtang go? There are also those two brothers named Xiao."

"Of course I have to take care of Zijuan." Meng Youtian nodded confidently at first, paused for a moment, and continued, "When I leave, I will tie up and let Zijuan follow me. This is not a place where the landlord's lady lives peacefully, nor is it where a guy with a problem with his lifestyle can always be safe."

The blind old Yuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's great that you can see this. Although I haven't seen it so long, I know that I can kill the donkey and settle the score in the autumn. Well, take good care of Zijuan and can't treat you badly."

Meng Youtian smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, don't tell me about the Song family's money. That's too much of apprehension. I'm not good to Zijuan for money. If it were for money, I would have given her a long time ago-"

"You have to be married to her, and there is no such trouble now, and I don't have to be so worried." The blind old man looked at Meng Youtian, looking very contemptuous.

Meng Youtian shook his head awkwardly and said, "I have to talk to Zijuan. Don't let outsiders take her badly. It will be a bad thing when I leave."

"Are you talking about the director of the woman's rescue meeting?" said the blind old man, touching his beard thoughtfully: "Zijuan seems to like her very much. She has been chatting with her for so long. You are right. If you don't stay at home, run around and show up in public, what's the point?"

"I am not the director of the Women's Rescue Association, but the deputy district mayor." Meng Youtian sighed softly, "It is not the biggest reason why I object to women's appearance in public, but..." He shook his head with a silence.

In fact, Meng Youtian admired the demeanor and talent of many cadres of the Eighth Route Army. Because of this, his sense of powerlessness became heavier and heavier. A group of idealists thought they had mastered the truth, and even sacrificed their lives to defend their truth, which eventually made the entire nation board the chariot of idealism and became their test subject for realizing the truth. But what makes people feel sad is that these idealists also possess excellent qualities and talents that ordinary people cannot reach.

This is God's arrangement. Meng Youtian looked up at the blue sky in confusion. Is there any better explanation besides this? Zijuan, simple and innocent, is the beautiful picture displayed by her mouth very attractive to young people who do not understand various theories and ideology. But it is exactly the same as that saying: Disappointment comes from excessive expectations.

From the Landlord's division of the land, to the theory of component only, the increasingly heavier shackles will firmly bind people like Zijuan. If they stay, they will be destined to struggle in the storm and whirlpool of politics, which is exactly what Meng Youtian doesn't want to see.

…………

As an official who investigated and counted after the sweep, Qin Lianfang had already gone to several villages. Relatively speaking, Tumen Village suffered a lot of losses, but the preparations were best. Although the people could not move into their original houses, they were not afraid of being frozen and hungry.

"The losses in each village in our district are large, mainly in terms of housing, which makes it difficult for the people in some villages to overwinter." Qin Lianfang looked at Meng Youtian, with a weak expression, as if he was not listening, and seemed not very concerned, "Brother Meng, are you listening to me?" 1 38Kanshu.com does not jump to the words.

Meng Youtian raised his head and looked at Qin Lianfang thoughtfully. After a while, he smiled and said, "Why don't I not listen carefully when the deputy district mayor speaks? Tell me, what do we need to do or support me? They are all from the villagers. If you have any difficulties, you should help each other."

Qin Lianfang lowered her eyelids. She guessed that Meng Youtian must have emotions. He even did not participate in the action of mobilizing basic militias to squeeze out the enemy in Xiaolouzhuang. But she could not plead with such a thing in front of the district chief with a strong principle. Of course, Meng Youtian did make mistakes. But Meng Youtian seemed to have a estrangement from her, which made her very sad.

"Fuel?Food?Manpower?" Meng Youtian counted one by one with his fingers, "After the district's order, we will do whatever we want."

"Brother Meng, don't do this." Qin Lianfang tried to say to Meng Youtian in a controversial tone: "I can't do anything at work, but will our personal relationship be affected? Don't be the deputy district mayor, just think I'm a friend?" 1 38Kanshu.com does not skip words.

Of course, Meng Youtian treated Qin Lianfang as a friend, otherwise he would not have lost his temper at her, because he knew that Qin Lianfang would not hate him and mess with him. Qin Lianfang's low attitude also changed Meng Youtian's attitude, and he also realized that he shouldn't be like this and shouldn't be sarcastic. After all, Qin Lianfang did not do anything to be sorry for him.

"It's just because you think you are a friend that makes you feel a little emotional." Meng Youtian slowly let out a long breath and said, "So too, come on with an official airs. We little people are the ones that are the most apt to do."

Qin Lianfang was a little amused, but Meng Youtian's words made her much happier, "Brother Meng, you are in a bad mood and I'm not angry, which means you didn't treat me as an outsider. As for support and mutual help, I want your village to take out some grain and charcoal to help other villages."

"Okay, there's nothing to say." Meng Youtian nodded readily, paused for a moment, and asked tentatively: "I heard that the situation is a bit complicated now, the Kuomintang side--"

"It has always been like this. The Kuomintang does not fight against Japan and specializes in friction." Qin Lianfang said angrily: "Lu Zhonglin, Yan Xishan, Pang Bingxun, Zhu Huaibing, and Shi Yousan in North China. Although he is not very capable in fighting Japan, he is all good at engaging in friction. Of course, we have not been affected yet, so you can rest assured."

During the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party united to unite to the outside world, which was the general trend, a historical necessity, and the thing that the whole Chinese people most wanted to see. From this point of view, Chiang Kai-shek could not blatantly **. Even if it was a **, he had to find a suitable excuse, and GCD would not allow him to provoke more reasons. Chiang Kai-shek could not ignore the domestic public opinion, which is an issue that must be paid attention to as the supreme leader of a country.

Even if it is **, it is often just about Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops - the Central Army. Of course, a few stubborn forces occasionally do something out of order. However, a large number of local troops, far from the central government, are in a three-legged situation with the Japanese. For the safety of their own defense zone, they still maintain a very friendly cooperative relationship with the nominal friendly forces.

In Meng Youtian's opinion, if a slap is not loud, both sides have a responsibility for this kind of thing. They are both experts in politics, and their reasons are high-sounding. You say that he wanders without fighting, annexes friendly forces, and does not obey political orders; he also says that you are not engaged in anti-Japanese war, specializes in friction, and undermines the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. After all, it is just that both groups are fighting for their own interests, and no one can say that they are glorious. Although what Meng Youtian doesn't want to see the most is that the Chinese are still intrigueing when fighting against the invaders, this is inevitable.

Meng Youtian didn't want to care about this matter, he just needed to get the answer he wanted. This place would not be affected, which means he could be invisible and unable to get along with the Japanese and traitors.

"The enemy of Xiaolouzhuang is still persisting, but under our squeeze and blockade, we are in great difficulty." Qin Lianfang changed the topic and tried to make Meng Youtian change his mind, "Brother Meng, it will be very helpful if you can go."

Meng Youtian smiled faintly and said, "One gun cannot determine the victory or defeat of the war. Don't praise me."

"Brother Meng, then don't belittle yourself?" Qin Lianfang continued to do her best. "The enemy is really afraid of you. The guerrillas often use your name to scare the enemy. The people in the occupied areas also use you to curse evil bad guys."

Meng Youtian shook his head gently and said, "Give others a chance. A sharpshooter is nothing. Thousands of people will make the enemy unable to sleep or eat. I want to ride a livestock and protect others. Specialization will make people criticize you. Let's not talk about this matter, okay?"

Qin Lianfang sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I won't force you. That, Zijuan can recover, I'm happy for you. She can write and calculate, and she wants to participate in anti-Japanese work more, I want to-"

"No, no, now." Meng Youtian interrupted Qin Lianfang's words, "I asked the doctor to show her. Although she seemed to have recovered, she was still unstable. She was afraid of being tired and stimulated. Let her raise her for a while and then look at the recovery situation!"

Qin Lianfang believed it, nodded and said, "So that's the case. I don't understand the situation. Brother Meng, don't care!"

"The wound on ** is nothing, it is the most difficult to heal mentally." Meng Youtian sighed a little accomplice and said, "Zijuan is a flower grown in a greenhouse, lacking exercise from wind and rain. In fact, you are the same, but you are more mentally stronger than her, and you have never experienced the pain and stimulation like her. You are more lucky than her."

Lucky? I love someone but can’t say it, so I can only be buried deep in my heart. Qin Lianfang opened her mouth and lowered her head with a wry smile.

"The enemy's sweeping storm-" Meng Youtian remembered another problem. He had to master the characteristics of the enemy's new tactics as much as possible to figure out the solution. "I want to know more detailed situations, and I hope you can help me."

"I will pay attention to collecting relevant information and documents." Qin Lianfang agreed happily, looked at her watch, got up and reached out to Meng Youtian, "The time is almost over, I have to rush back to report on my work. Brother Meng, see you again in the future."
