Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

"I'll send a telegram to the organization right away. You're doing great."

Now, during the transfer, there are no telephones available, but wireless telegraphs can rely on hand-cranked power generation to report the situation to the central government.

Captain Bai had only a limited understanding of Shen Jinzhen before, but now seeing her strength, he couldn't help but feel more admiration for her, but also some doubts.

He thought to himself: "Such an outstanding talent is actually a doctor?

Could it be that her extraordinary shooting skills are just the tip of the iceberg, and healing is her real forte?"

Although Captain Bai had doubts, it was important to report the situation to the organization.

Everyone hid again, quietly waiting for movement in the sky. Time passed by, and after finally confirming that there were no enemy planes hovering above, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and resumed their journey.

At this moment, they were in Yuxi area of ​​Guanyang County, and in front of them was Shitang Village of Quanzhou County. They needed to reach Jieshou Ferry and cross the Xiangjiang River to escape the danger of being besieged by the enemy.

Although the road was not long, progress was extremely slow because the team carried a lot of supplies and the road was rugged and difficult.

As night fell, everyone had to stop and rest for a while, but at this time they had only traveled a few kilometers.

The sound of fire was heard in the distance. The Red Fifth Army, which was cut off from the rest, had encountered enemy bombers and a rumbling sound could be heard.

In order to prevent the enemy from discovering the whereabouts of the large force, the central government issued an order prohibiting the use of fires when eating to prevent the smoke from exposing the whereabouts.

After days of running around, the dry rations and fried rice had been eaten up, and the battalion commander gave each person a piece of sweet potato and potato.

“Eat it quickly! Don’t worry about whether it’s raw or cooked, as long as it fills your stomach.”

The sweet potatoes and potatoes were washed, but they were all raw. It was winter, and they were so greasy that they hurt when I held them in my hands.

Many soldiers looked at it and put it down again.

Although most people's family conditions are not very good, no matter how poor they are, no one is so poor that they don't have a fire at home and eat raw food all day long.

"Why don't I just hold on a little longer. Once we get over this mountain and across the Xiang River, we can start cooking."

Zhen Youqian held the raw potatoes with a look of disgust.

When he was a child, his father told him that he should not eat raw food because it would make him sick.

He is still in the growing stage now. What if he gets sick and doesn't grow taller?

Lei Ming looked at the potatoes in his hand. They were frozen hard in winter and even covered with frost. But it would take more than a day or two to walk from here to the Xiangjiang River.

"Eat. According to our current load-bearing capacity, it will take two days to reach the Jieshou Ferry, not to mention crossing the Xiangjiang River."

He took the potato in his hand and tried to peel it, but the raw potato was very hard and there was no way to peel it, so Lei Ming simply put it in his mouth and ate it raw.

Freshly cooked potatoes are soft and delicious, but raw ones are bitter and icy and not tasty at all.

Even so, Lei Ming didn't even frown, and ate with big mouthfuls as if he was eating steamed buns or corn bread on weekdays.

Shen Jinzhen hesitated between sweet potatoes and potatoes, but decided to eat the sweet potatoes raw.

There is still some sugar in sweet potatoes, so potatoes are really hard to eat.

Shen Jinzhen broke the long sweet potato in his hand into two halves, picked up one piece and started eating.

It shouldn't be as bitter as potatoes, but sweet potatoes are very astringent and cold, and she almost wanted to vomit after putting them in her mouth.

But there was really nothing to eat right now. Although she still had some chocolate, it couldn't be eaten as a meal.

They should have settled down according to the original plan, but they have been delayed for so long and still haven't found a place for the troops to stay. Shen Jinzhen didn't dare to take out more chocolates to consume.

Eat a little when you can't hold on, it can replenish sugar. Forget about it on weekdays, the more you can save, the better.
