Xu Rui and his Langya disguised themselves and came to the vicinity of Smolensk. Along the way, they saw that although Smolensk had many soldiers, it was not as heavily guarded as imagined. The mental outlook of these servants was different from that of Smolensk.
Morale is completely different from that of the German army.
Xu Rui observed with a telescope that there were not many indigenous residents in the entire Smolensk. Although the suburbs were controlled by these foreign soldiers, no foreign soldiers were found near the village. From a distance, Xu Rui
Rui saw a little boy walking from a distance carrying a torn sack. As he walked, he bent down by the railway to pick something up. The little boy looked about eight or nine years old. He was unkempt and staggered. He looked
He looked very thin.
"thump!"
The little boy fell to the ground and never got up again.
Seeing this scene, Xu Rui was startled, and immediately ran over and took the little boy into his arms. He saw that the little boy's face was pale, without a trace of blood, his lips were blue from the cold, and his pulse was very weak.
Xu Rui took the little boy back to the hidden house, lit a fire, and put snow in the helmet to burn. After a while, the water was boiled. Xu Rui poured the water into the little boy's mouth little by little.
The child opened his eyes weakly, without any trace of expression.
"I'm hungry..." the little boy said in a weak voice.
Xu Rui quickly took out a piece of chocolate and put it to the little boy's mouth. The little boy stuffed the whole piece of chocolate into his mouth in one bite without chewing.
"He's really hungry," Leng Tiefeng said.
Xu Rui nodded and said, "It's really hard for this child to go out to pick up coal in such a cold weather."
The little boy ate the chocolate and gained some energy. He struggled hard, sat up on his own, and said, "Uncle, thank you for saving me."
Xu Rui said: "Kid, it's so cold, why did you run out by yourself?"
The little boy said: "Uncle, I want to pick up a few coal lumps to keep myself warm."
"Where are your parents?" Leng Tiefeng asked.
"My father was taken away by those soldiers, and only my mother and I lived together. A few days ago, some foreign soldiers came to the house, and they took my mother away. My brother and I were the only ones left at home.
I was cold and hungry, so I went out to look for coal and see if I could find someone who was stuttering."
After hearing what the little boy said, Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng felt very uncomfortable. Such a little boy of eight or nine years old had suffered so much. In such a cold winter, he had no food, no water, and no way to stay warm.
, sooner or later he will die of cold and hunger, it is really pitiful.
Xu Rui asked: "What's your name?"
The little boy said: "My name is Yakov."
"Good name." Xu Rui touched Yakov's head with his hand. At this time, Leng Tiefeng handed another piece of chocolate to Yakov, but Yakov did not eat it, but put it in his pocket.
middle.
Leng Tiefeng asked in surprise: "Why don't you eat?"
Yakov said: "I want to give this to my brother. My brother has not eaten for two days."
After listening to Xiao Yakov's words, everyone including Xu Rui felt a little sad in their hearts. It is really pitiful for such a young child to be so sensible.
Xu Rui said: "Yakov, where is your home? Let's go with you to see your brother."
"It's just beside the village not far ahead." Yakov said.
Xu Rui asked Leng Tiefeng, the donkey and the mountain leopard to bring some food, and then followed little Yakov towards his house.
Little Yakov was very happy and jumped up and down in front. The group entered the village and saw that the village was lifeless and there was not even a person on the street.
He called the donkey and asked, "This village looks like a ghost town."
Young Yakov said: "Before the Germans came, most of the people in the village fled, and only a few people were left. After the Germans came, they captured all the remaining adults in the village, leaving only
A few old people and children."
Little Yakov pointed to a bluestone hut on the edge of the village and said, "Uncle, this is my home."
Several people entered the yard under the leadership of Yakov. They saw that the snow in the yard was enough to reach their knees. Little Yakov shouted: "Brother, I'm back!"
However, no one in the room responded to him, so Yakov said: "My brother must be asleep."
Opening the door, a group of people entered the house. Since there was no fire, the temperature inside and outside was not much different, and the walls were covered with thick frost.
I saw a child of only five or six years old lying on a bed, and there was no movement at all.
"Brother! Brother!"
Yakov went to shake the child on the bed, and Yakov said: "Ah, why is my brother so cold and so hard?"
Xu Rui quickly came to the bed and saw that the child on the bed was frozen stiff and had stopped breathing.
"Brother, wake up quickly, wake up quickly, we have something to eat!" Yakov put the piece of chocolate given to him by Leng Tiefeng to his brother's mouth.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt uncomfortable. Their tears fell down and they said, "Damn, this is too torturous!"
Leng Tiefeng hugged Yakov directly and said, "Yakov, stop screaming, your brother is already dead."
"No! You lied to me! How could my brother die? He was still sleeping soundly in bed before I left..." Jacob couldn't say any more, and his tears kept rolling down like broken beads.
Leng Tiefeng looked at Xu Rui, wondering how Xu Rui would deal with this child.
He called the donkey and said: "Commander, please keep Yakov, otherwise he will die."
Xu Rui said: "We are on a mission, how can we take care of a child? In this way, Yakov, we will leave the food for you and pick you up when we return from the mission."
Yakov said: "Uncle, I'll wait for you to come back."
"Yes." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Keep all the food you have on your body and find some dry firewood for Yakov to keep warm."
Leng Tiefeng immediately started working with Barking Donkey and Mountain Leopard. In order to leave more firewood for Yakov, they even demolished a livestock shed.
Xu Rui said: "Yakov, stay here well and don't wander around. We will come back to pick you up in a few days."
"Uncle, please feel free to go. I will be obedient and wait for you here." Little Yakov said.
On the way back, several people felt very heavy and uncomfortable. The war had caused so much suffering to the people. Little Yakov was only eight or nine years old. At this age, he should have been a flower in the greenhouse and was influenced by his parents.
However, little Yakov had to run for survival, and his younger brother, that little boy, who was only five or six years old, died of cold and starvation. It was really uncomfortable.
Call the donkey and say: "Commander, the Germans are hateful, and these servants are even more hateful. We must make them pay with blood!"
Xu Rui said: "Well, these servants of the Japs are almost like Germans. They work for tigers and only bully the people. Don't be polite when you see them!"
"Yes!" The barking donkey responded, his teeth grinding loudly.
"Old Xu, we are about to enter Smolensk next, so we must be careful." Leng Tiefeng reminded.
Xu Rui said: "Veteran, when we come to Smolensk this time, we are going to turn him upside down..."
On the outskirts of Smolensk, many workers were cutting down trees. Seeing no one around, Yegor threw away his ax and ran towards the depths of the jungle.
I don't know how long it took, but Yegor ran out of energy and sat down on the ground with a plop, breathing heavily.
Finally escaped!
Yegor's eyes filled with excitement. It had been more than a month since he was caught here cutting down trees by the Romanians. During this period, many weak people died of exhaustion, and those who were sick were also taken away by these foreigners.
There has been no news since then, and I guess there will be no good outcome for them. I finally escaped alive, and my life was finally saved.
I don’t know what happened to my wife and children at home. I could finally go back to see them. Thinking of this, Yegor felt a little excited. At this moment, a black gun muzzle was pressed against Yegor’s head.
Yegor was startled, knelt directly on the ground, and said: "Please spare me, I still have a wife and children at home. If I don't go back, they won't be able to survive..."
"Stand up!" said a voice.
The voice was not harsh. Yegor turned his head and found a soldier wearing a German military uniform standing there. Yegor was so frightened that he was about to scream out when a plump and beautiful woman came out and said: "No need."
Afraid, we are the Red Army."
When Yegor heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, cried loudly, and said, "You are finally here!"
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Diana asked.
Yegor said: "I am a villager from a nearby village, my name is Yegor. More than a month ago, a group of Romanians broke into the village and took me away to chop down trees."
"What are you cutting down trees for?" Diana asked.
Yegor said: "The Romanians are building a warehouse near here, which requires a lot of wood. Apart from me, more than 3,000 people were captured to do hard labor together. They are tired and hungry. Now there are only about 2,000 people left."
.”
“What do the Romanians have in their warehouses?”
"It looks like wooden boxes..." Yegor gestured.
Leng Tiefeng on the side heard this and realized that the box Yegor was pointing at was not the box for arms. It seemed that there was a large arms depot guarded by Romanians nearby.
Thinking of this, Leng Tiefeng secretly rejoiced in his heart. He really couldn't find anything after wearing iron shoes, and it took no effort to get here. Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered the enemy's arsenal. This was an unexpected gain.
Leng Tiefeng said: "Tell us where the Romanian warehouse is, or take us there."
Yegor shook his head and said: "I will never go back to that ghost place. The warehouse is about three miles north of here. You can go there yourself."
Leng Tiefeng frowned, he didn't expect Yegor to be so timid and fearful, but he couldn't force him.
"If nothing happens, I will go home to see my Yakov." Yegor said.
"Who are you talking about?" Leng Tiefeng looked at Yegor...
