More than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade led by Yang Ling traveled through mountains and rivers and finally entered Hubei without any danger.
Since the Japanese captured Wuhan, they immediately dispatched a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the Chinese troops in Hubei, with Wuhan as the center.
Now that most of Hubei's army areas have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, the Japanese not only sent troops to guard the area, but also vigorously supported the traitors and assisted them in suppressing the Chinese patriotic people.
Yang Ling and the others had to go to the fifth theater to report, and they had to pass through the enemy-occupied areas. For safety reasons, after entering the enemy-occupied areas, they all pretended to be refugees.
The Japanese invaded China, resulting in the death of countless families. Thousands of refugees were scattered across the land of China. They slept in the open, with no clothes on, and struggled in dire straits.
The officers and soldiers of the Flame Special Operations Brigade dressed up as refugees and marched towards the fifth theater. Along the way, they saw the refugees who were so hungry that they were skin and bones, and the children who were so hungry that they howled. They were angry and helpless.
The country was poor and weak, and faced bullying from powerful enemies. The little devils not only occupied China's land, but also robbed food to support the war. The Chinese nation suffered heavy disasters.
As soldiers, Yang Ling and others faced the broken mountains and rivers and the suffering people, and their hearts were filled with guilt.
But they knew that unless the Japs were driven out of China, these displaced refugees would still live like this, which strengthened their determination to fight the Japs to the end.
The brothers moved forward full of anger. They had already sworn in their hearts that when they got to the front line, they would kill the little Japanese ruthlessly and avenge these suffering compatriots.
Because Yang Ling and the others were mixed in with the refugee group and had no means of transportation, their speed could not help but slow down.
When it got dark again, Yang Ling and the others found a hidden mountain forest to camp.
While the brothers were preparing to camp, several other brothers went to a town not far away to contact the military commander's agents and bring back the dry food they had prepared.
Along the way, Yang Ling and the others were assisted by agents and patriots from the Chinese Communist Party lurking in various places, who provided them with intelligence and food along the way.
It was precisely because of the help along the way that Yang Ling and the others made it this far without any danger, without revealing their identity.
Several brothers who were responsible for liaising with military intelligence agents disguised themselves as refugees. They were dressed in rags, unshaven, and exuded a sour smell.
Although there were some puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers stationed in the town next to the main road, they were not surprised by these refugees, so the few brothers in charge of liaison easily entered the town to take over.
They wrapped the route map and dry food provided to them by the local military agents in rotten packages, and then sneaked out of the town.
There were also many refugees camping in the fields and woods outside the town. Piles of bonfires were lit, but more refugees had hungry stomachs growling but could not find anything to eat.
When these brothers passed by a refugee pile with a bonfire burning, several children with dirty faces gathered around them.
"Uncle, uncle, give me something to eat."
"Uncle, we haven't eaten for a day and we are hungry."
...
Several children in ragged clothes opened their big eyes with longing, and their childish voices made people's noses sore, and several brothers couldn't help but stop.
Looking at these sallow and skinny children, these brothers of the Flame Special Warfare Brigade couldn't help but feel soft. In this era of war and chaos, these children really suffered.
"Captain, give them some food. See how hungry they are." A brother turned his questioning eyes to the officer leading the team.
"But we don't have much dry food, and there are still so many brothers waiting." The team leader hesitated.
After all, it is not easy for the local military agents to provide food for more than a hundred people at one time, so each of their brothers can get very little, and they have to rely on this dry food to travel.
"The children can eat as much as they want, but I really can't give out some of my share." Looking at the children looking at them eagerly, some brothers really couldn't bear it.
The officer leading the team hesitated again and again, then nodded: "We will share some of our dry food with them."
"How old are your children?" After receiving the agreement, a brother took out a piece of cake from the package and handed it to the hands of several children.
"I'm six years old..."
After taking the cake, several children ate it hungrily without waiting for them to finish their words.
"Slow down, kid, slow down and don't choke." Seeing how hungry the children were, several brothers had sore noses.
I saw several children devouring their food. Before these brothers could react, a large circle of children cheered and surrounded them.
"Uncle, uncle, I'm hungry too."
"Uncle, I also want to eat."
...
Faced with such a large group of children who were eager to eat, several brothers had to take out a few more cakes to share with them.
But there were so many children, and their own rations were just a drop in the bucket. In an instant, the children ate everything.
"Uncle, no, there is nothing to eat."
Although these brothers were full of pity for these children, they also knew that the brothers were still waiting and they could not give away all the food.
"Let's disperse, we have nothing to eat."
Looking at the children looking at them, the officer leading the team tried his best to be as friendly as possible, but the children seemed to know that they still had food to eat and refused to leave.
"I said don't give it, what should I do now?"
Facing such a large group of hungry, skinny children, these brothers were in a dilemma.
I couldn't bear to leave just like that, but if I gave it to them, the brothers would have nothing to eat.
"Whose children are these? Take them all back." A brother shouted several times to the refugees in the distance, but there was no response.
"Okay, stop yelling. If people know that we have something to eat and they swarm us, we won't be able to escape." A brother hurriedly stopped this brother from shouting.
"How about giving them some more cakes?" A brother looked at these immature children and couldn't turn a blind eye.
"But we don't have much. If the commander knows that we have brought back too little dry food, we will be punished."
"Just a few pancakes, give them to us and leave. If the officer wants to punish me, he will fine me one."
"What's the matter, you're the only one who's a good person, right? Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here? I'm afraid of getting upset. At worst, I'll be hungry by then." A brother said and took out a few more cakes and distributed them to the children.
After they distributed the food to these children, they did not dare to stay any longer, because the hungry refugees in the distance had already noticed the movement here and were ready to move.
If a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything. If he comes directly to grab food, this brother may have no choice but to run away.
