The War of Resistance

"I'm not familiar with Shuiquan Town, I just passed by it once, but the town is quite big.

If our Queer Town is a small home, Shuiquan Town must be a big eagle. "On the bumpy carriage, Qian Chuan'er began to introduce the situation in Shuiquan Town.

As Qian Chuan'er himself said, he was really not familiar with Shuiquan Town, because Shuiquan Town was not in their guerrilla zone, and he only knew the general situation there.

There are more than 300 households in Queer Town, but there are nearly a thousand households in Shuiquan Town.

How can the population of each household in rural China be so small nowadays?

As long as the female lead in the family can give birth, she will continue to give birth.

If a family has seven or eight children, it is considered a large number; if a family has five or six children, it is considered normal; if a family has three or four children, it is considered a small number.

As for families with only one or two children, either the hero and heroine of that family are sick, or the hero and heroine are too young to have children!

The reason for this is nothing more than an agricultural society. The number of men in the family determines the number of laborers in the family, and indirectly determines the wealth of the family.

Of course, it’s another thing to say that it’s a different story for Xiaodanzi to have more wives. But if the family can become rich without labor, it’s basically impossible!

Furthermore, how many Chinese people nowadays, let alone farmers, are educated people who know how to use contraception?

One of the young marshal’s younger brothers is from the Eighth Route Army, and the younger brother’s sister-in-law mentioned in her memoirs that she didn’t even know about contraception, let alone ordinary people. She gave birth to a child with the young marshal’s younger brother. Both of his first two children died in that war.

Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China and the implementation of family planning, administrative means were used to distribute condoms throughout the country.

It's just that the children didn't understand, but they all used their mouths to blow up the condoms and play with them as balloons. This was not the case across the country, but it was similar. It became a unique scene of that era.

Okay, I’m going too far.

On average, even if there are seven people in a household in Shuiquan Town, there are tens of thousands of people in the entire Shuiquan Town. This scale is by no means small in rural China today.

What Qian Chuan'er also knew was that the richest owner in Shuiquan Town was called "Chen Laocai". Chen Laocai had an armored team under him and had more than a hundred guns in his hands. In addition, The long-term workers who work for his family, plus big swords, red tassels and spears, are said to have five or six hundred men, horses, swords and spears.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a village protection team that Shuiquan Town has long been the target of various armed forces.

That Chen Laocai was also an old man, but he struggled to survive in the cracks of various armed forces, and he managed to save his family's land, which no one could tell how much.

The carriage was still running, but Qian Chuan'er had closed his mouth.

"Say, why don't you stop?" Shang Zhen urged.

Shang Zhen has never been to Shuiquan Town. Now that the Japanese advance team has gone to Shuiquan Town, we cannot rule out the possibility of a war between the enemy and us there. As a commander, Shang Zhen certainly hopes to have first-hand knowledge of the situation as much as possible. Information about Shuiquan Town.

"That's all I know, what else can I say?" Qian Chuan'er replied.

"Ah?" Shang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily, "I even doubt whether it was a mistake to ask you to collect information."

"Hehe." Qian Chuan'er smiled awkwardly, then slapped his thigh and said, "I remembered that I have a spy's second uncle in Shuiquan Town, and he told me that he mentioned it in front of the second uncle. Pass me, and I’ll go find his second uncle when the time comes!”

"You are blind and bluffing!" Hu Zhuzhu, who was sitting at the back of the carriage, said, "You have never seen this person, where can you find his second uncle?"

Naturally, Qian Chuan'er was not as knowledgeable as Hu Zhuzi, but he added: "I have never met his second uncle, but his second uncle is a water tofu maker in the town. Do you think I can find him?"

"That's pretty much it." Hu Zhuzhu snorted.

"Is the surname of the tofu maker you're talking about Zhang?" At this time, the stubborn cow who came with Shang Zhen and the others took the initiative to chat.

"Yes, do you know him?" Qian Chuan'er heard something when he heard what Jian Niu said.

"I worked part-time for Chen Laocai in the town and bought water tofu from his house. The old man was in his fifties and his left leg was lame, so everyone called him 'Cripple Zhang.'" Jianniu really knew that.

"Yes, that's what my spy said." Qian Chuan'er said hurriedly.

"That's what you said? Damn it! Who's nephew can tell outsiders that his second uncle is a lame!" At this time, Ma Erhuzi said without saying a word but just listening.

"Hey, Ma Erhuzi, why are you so stubborn? People just say that his second uncle's legs and feet are not very good." Qian Chuan'er said angrily.

"Okay, you all shut up. Daniel, tell me what you know about the situation in Shuiquan Town." Shang Zhen spoke in time. He could not let his group of people talk like this.

If this group of people continues to say this, it will be a waste of time. They are searching for the Japanese advancing team, and maybe a battle will happen soon.

Now that the officer Shang Zhen had spoken, the soldiers shut up, and the stubborn man talked about what he knew about the situation in Shuiquan Town.

It turns out that Chen Laocai's family has a lot of fields. When the harvest season comes and his family doesn't have enough manpower, people from the surrounding villages will come to do part-time work for his family. The stubborn cow will come to work every year during this season.

According to Jian Niu, the terrain of Shuiquan Town is divided into two parts. One part is with a large wall, which is the village of Chen Laocai's family. The high-walled courtyard has turrets, and there are village men with guns at the gate.

If outsiders want to enter that Zhuangzi, it will be impossible unless Zhuangzi agrees.

Just to the north of Chen Laocai's Village are ordinary people's houses. There are good, bad, tall, short, shabby, and all kinds of houses.

Especially in this season, there are many people looking for work in Shuiquan Town, and people from dozens of miles around will rush here.

In addition to looking for work, these people come here from all walks of life, including entertainers, street vendors, thieves, beggars, and even bandits who believe that horses are not fattened by night, and grass is not fattened. There are all kinds of things, so it’s almost time to catch up with the big gathering.

As we all know, crops mature from south to north. Shuiquan Town is still sixty or seventy miles north of the village where Shang Zhen and the others first arrived, so this should be the time when Chen Laocai's family hires day laborers. There must be quite a few of them!

Listening to Jian Niu's story along the way, Shang Zhen frowned. He really didn't expect that Shuiquan Town would be like this.

If Shuiquan Town is compared to the maps in later games, Shang Zhen really did not expect that this map would be so large and complex.

According to what Jian Niu told about the advancing team of Japanese and puppet troops he saw, the so-called advancing team did not fire immediately at the beginning, and the common people did not recognize it.

When Jianniu discovered that the group of people spoke Northeastern dialect in addition to their local dialect, Shandong dialect, and some of them were short and silent. Now I think those people must be Japanese devils.

At this point, Shang Zhen suddenly discovered that the advancing team they came out to destroy the Japanese army was not as simple as he had imagined before coming out.

Just imagine, with a population of tens of thousands, there are people of all kinds from all religions and streams, and it would be fine if the Japanese and puppet troops' advance team did not stop in Shuiquan Town. But if they really got into Shuiquan Town, how should they identify themselves?

The battle map is so complicated. Where can your own people fight against the Japanese and puppet troops? This way you can protect your own camp and eliminate the enemy without harming the common people!

As for this battle, according to Northeastern dialect, it is called - it is not easy to deal with!
