Lost and Spy

Chapter 959 Encountering the enemy halfway
This was the strangest team Meng Shaoyuan had ever led.

A servant boy, two foreign women, a guide, ten guards, plus, thirty children!
Dangerous.

Damn, less is the same.

What about the support expenses for these [-] children after they arrive in Shanghai?
That's a lot of money.

Don't worry about handing it over to charity.

Looking for someone to adopt?Even more worried.

No, as soon as I return to Shanghai, I have to find trouble with those traitors.

They have to pay for this money!
The traitors in Shanghai, big and small, never dreamed that after a few days of silence, that greedy Young Master Meng would return to Shanghai again.

They couldn't cover their wallets again.

It's the same sentence repeated countless times:

It's not easy being a traitor.

Shi Erzi was very familiar with the road.

Along the way, he specifically looked for a path that could avoid the Japanese.

Just with these children, there is really no way to go fast.

There is no place to get a car.

Young Master Meng, who has always been pampered and pampered in Shanghai, has suffered a lot this time.

It takes a lot of effort to take care of one child, let alone thirty.

And along the way, although there were so many adults, except for Shi Erzi, who was married and had a son, no one had any experience in taking care of children.

There is also eating, drinking, and lassing, which makes me have a headache just thinking about it.

The dry food has been prepared long ago. The problem is that many children are growing up, and it is not nutritious to eat these dry food all the time.

In order to appease these children, Meng Shaoyuan has been painting a beautiful picture for them:

After arriving in Shanghai, they can eat whatever they want.

There is everything delicious.

People need spiritual support, and children are no exception.

Most of these children were spoiled and raised since childhood, where did they suffer so much?

Many children were unable to walk after walking a short distance.

You can't beat it, you can't beat it, you can't scold it.

How to do?
Sophia and Alison fully showed the soft side of women, they tried their best to comfort and encourage these children.

There are quite a few children who understand English more or less, and some can even communicate with them directly.

But just relying on two women can't take care of so many children.

At the critical moment, Shang Heng, the oldest child, stepped forward.

He kicked and lay on the ground, refusing to leave. A child about his age said, "Let's go, let's go."

"Brother Shang Heng, I can't walk anymore, the soles of my feet are almost blistering."

"Let's go!" Shang Heng raised his voice: "Do you still want to go to Shanghai, do you want to avenge our parents? Get up, let's go!"

The child struggled to stand up, glaring at Shang Heng angrily: "Who doesn't want revenge? Go, go!"

More and more children stood up, gritted their teeth and walked forward.

Xiaodie suddenly cried out with a "wow": "I miss my mother, I miss my mother."

As soon as she finished crying like this, more children started crying too.

"Don't cry, Xiaodie!"

Meng Shaoyuan quickly picked her up: "My brother will take you to Shanghai, go to Shanghai."

That's all he can say over and over again.

Being a parent is hard.

Just stop and go like this, coaxing and cheating for a while, and finally approached Huangshi.

"Mr. Meng."

Taking advantage of another break, Shi Erzi walked up to him and said, "After passing this town, you will be Huangshi. The problem is that there is a Japanese detachment stationed there, plus about twenty puppet troops."

Meng Shaoyuan called Li Zhifeng over: "How about it, are you sure?"

"I'm not sure." Li Zhifeng said without hesitation: "With just a dozen of our guns, breaking through the defense of a Japanese detachment will turn into a bitter battle if the raid fails, let alone the assistance of the puppet army. Reinforcements can come up at any time. Another point, even if you break out successfully, it will also arouse the vigilance of the Japanese troops in other places.”

Damn it, there are only thirteen people in a Japanese army unit, right?With twenty or so puppet troops, you won't be able to fight three with one?
Hey, think about it carefully, an ordinary Japanese army unit, with one machine gun, and eight riflemen, if the machine gun is placed on one of them, the battle will be difficult to fight.

Meng Shaoyuan frowned and thought for a while: "Second son, is there another way?"

"Yes, we will go around the town at night." Shi Erzi said immediately, "It will take about twenty miles more. The key is that the children should not make too much noise."

"No way, go around."

Meng Shaoyuan thought about it, this is the safest way: "Go, call me all the children."

Thirty children were called over, and Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "Kids, shall we play a game?"

"Okay, okay." After all, he was still a child, completely forgetting the danger he was in.

"Listen, this game is like this." Meng Shaoyuan explained carefully: "We will sleep in a while, and at night, we have to walk a lot of roads, but whoever is the quietest and arrives in Shanghai, I will give her the most beautiful one." toys."

"What do you want?"

"Yes, no matter what toy you fancy, I will give it to you!"

"well!"

The children cheered.

"Shh!"

Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly silenced them: "The game is about to begin now!"

There were a few clever children who fell asleep immediately.

As soon as they saw someone doing it first, all the children fell asleep on the ground.

Looking at these lovely children, Meng Shaoyuan ordered Li Zhifeng to strengthen his vigilance, while sighing softly.

"Your method is very good, the children listen to you very much." Sophia sat beside him.

"These children." Meng Shaoyuan sighed again: "At such a young age, their parents are gone, and now they all sleep on the ground. When did they suffer so much?"

"You did your best, Meng." Sophia comforted in a low voice: "When we get to Shanghai, we can compensate them properly."

Maybe, that's the only way to go.

"Someone?"

Suddenly, Li Zhifeng gave a low shout.

Everyone drew their weapons.

"The one on the opposite side is from Dayu Bay?"

The visitor also asked in a low voice.

"It's us, which part are you?" Li Zhifeng still held the weapon tightly.

"Fourth Route Army, Huangshi guerrillas, my name is Xiang Yan, I was ordered to meet you."

"Let him come over and be vigilant."

"Yes!"

Xiang Yan was in his thirties, and he was a capable person. He immediately asked, "Which one is the officer?"

"It's me." Meng Shaoyuan came to him: "How many of you are here?"

"Originally there were five, but four of them couldn't come here, and I was the only one." Xiang Yan quickly reported, "I'm still worried that I won't be able to keep up with you. A new Japanese army team has arrived in the town today. Passers-by will not leave until tomorrow. .”

Everyone took a breath.

Good guy, luckily I didn't rush in just now, otherwise it would be all over.

"We are going to go around the town." Meng Shaoyuan expressed his thoughts: "Do you think there is any possibility of success?"

"Yes, and it's the only way." Xiang Yan said without hesitation: "Go around and pass Jingxiang Town, and then you can join our guerrillas. Near Jingxiang Town, there is only a group stationed in Linshan County The puppet army, there is about one company, it is said that a company is actually about fifty people, and generally they will not go to Jingxiang Town. Unless our luck is really bad."

"No Japanese?"

"No." Xiang Yan quickly replied: "Linshan County was originally a small county, but it was almost destroyed by the Japanese bombing. The Japanese army thought it was too poor, so they didn't want to be stationed there. They were stationed very close to Linshan County. In Xin County, not to mention the Japanese army, even the puppet army often complained there, and the supplies they sent were not even a meal, and they had to find their own way in many cases."

"That works." Meng Shaoyuan also made up his mind: "At night, act!"

……

The night is quiet.

Thirty children started a "game".

In order to get the toy promised by Brother Meng, these children worked hard, covering their mouths and not making a sound.

After all, it is the children who have traveled so much.

Xiaodie was teary there, but she couldn't hold back her tears.

She was afraid that if she cried, the toy would be gone.

Sophia looked, good guy, Xiaodie's shoes are all broken, and there is a big blood blister on her foot.

She carried Xiaodie on her back indiscriminately.

"Everyone is responsible for carrying a child." Meng Shaoyuan ordered in a low voice: "Carry the younger ones first, and the ones with blisters on their feet."

This is just the beginning.

From here to Shanghai, there is still a long journey.

Meng Shaoyuan felt a headache again when he thought of this...

……

This night was safe and sound, bypassing the town safely.

When it was dawn, Jingxiang Town was not far from here.

Once it was safe, several children finally couldn't bear it and cried out with a "wow".

This is great, one cry, all cry.

After persuading this one, you have to appease that one.

"boom"!
At this moment, a gunshot rang out.

"Hidden, hidden!"

……

A large number of puppet troops appeared.

Meng Shaoyuan looked at Yan.

Xiang Yan looked innocent: "I said unless we are unlucky, it seems that our luck is really unlucky. It's the puppet army from Linshan County. The leader of the team is Fan Changliang. We have tried to win over him several times, but without success."

Crow mouth.

"Let's fight." Li Zhifeng looked at the terrain: "It is still possible to beat these puppet troops away."

"Fan Changliang used to be in the national army and knew how to fight." Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "We tried to fight Linshan several times, but this Fan Changliang has a good command, and he can persist until the Japanese reinforcements come every time. Can this place not be fought?" Try not to fight, if it starts, the Japanese army in Xinxian County and the town behind us will soon be reinforced, and we will be double-teamed by then."

Don't forget, there are thirty more children.

Everyone turned their attention to Meng Shaoyuan.

see what i do?
I am not a fairy.

What can I do?
Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "If you can't fight, then surrender."

"Huh?" Everyone blurted out.

surrender?

At this time, the voice of the puppet army on the opposite side came again:

"Come out, come out all of them, or we'll shoot!"

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm out!"

Holding something in his hand, Meng Shaoyuan came out from his hiding place, yelling!
