After a while, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman, carrying a pot of tea and several teacups with a slightly reserved face, walked out of her room and walked towards the soldiers.
Walking up to several busy soldiers, the middle-aged woman said enthusiastically: "Brothers, let's take a break and drink some tea first!"
Some of the soldiers were thirsty and were drinking heavily with teacups in their hands. This woman, who was a little reserved at first, immediately laughed when she saw this. It was obvious that she was smiling sincerely.
On the streets of Guisui, with the end of the battle, some ordinary people who walked out of their homes gradually let down their guard and timidity as they got to know the soldiers of the 36th Group Army, and slowly integrated with the soldiers.
¡°On some streets, some ordinary people also took the initiative to help the soldiers clean the battlefield, help the soldiers collect weapons, carry the bodies of the little devils onto large trucks, clean the blood stains on the ground, etc.
Gradually, more and more people joined in, and a large truckload of weapons and ammunition was filled and transported outside the city. The soldiers carefully searched the little devil's body and collected all useful things. Then, together with the common people, they carried the little devil's body to a large truck nearby.
¡° Some common people may have been oppressed by the Japs before. When they saw the bodies of the Japs, they would either kick them a few times or spit on them severely. More common people seemed very happy to see the soldiers killing so many little devils.
An old man who was nearly 70 years old saw many ordinary people on the street taking the initiative to help the soldiers, and the soldiers were also very enthusiastic. As the old man looked at it, his eyes became a little wet, and he sighed: "I have lived so long. I have never seen such a good team. This is truly the team of our people. .¡±
With the help of ordinary people, the battlefield will be cleaned up much faster. Some streets have been cleaned, and a few businesses have begun to open for business. Some people are also preparing to go to the countryside to inform those who have taken refuge that they can come back.
In Guisui City, with the participation of the common people, the battlefield cleaning is proceeding in an orderly manner. Daping Town, about fifty kilometers away from Zhangjiakou, is also in full swing at this time.
Since Zhang Yunfei ordered that Daping Town will be used as the base of the Second Infantry Division, the transportation team has dozens of large trucks. In the morning, truckloads of cement and steel bars were transported to the officers and soldiers of the Second Infantry Division. We plan to select several flat and open wastelands outside Daping Town and build barracks there.
The common people of Daping Town, since they saw many, many soldiers coming yesterday afternoon, they were so frightened that they quickly closed the door. Some people are planning to flee to the nearby countryside early tomorrow morning.
The sound of gunfire outside started last night and lasted until ten o'clock in the evening. After ten o'clock, although the sound of gunfire outside suddenly stopped, many people were still a little scared and couldn't sleep all night.
Early this morning, Mayor Gao of Daping Town brought a few respectable squires from the town, and a few followers behind them also carried a large box. Mayor Gao and everyone finally found the Second Infantry Division. Teacher Chen Erwa.
Mayor Gao's purpose was obvious, he wanted to waste money and eliminate disasters. He hoped that by sending these 5,000 yuan, the troops outside the town could withdraw. On the way, Mayor Gao saw that the dark troops yesterday seemed to be about to It was less, maybe part of it was withdrawn, but Mayor Gao was still worried.
Last night, after the Japs retreated, the 4th and 5th Infantry Divisions withdrew overnight. Currently, there are only more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Division outside Daping Town. Everyone is camping in field tents and has not entered. It disturbed the people in the town.
When Mayor Gao brought people to find him, Chen Erwa, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, was looking at the nearby terrain from a distance and finalizing several places to build barracks in the future. He had just returned to a temporary tent consisting of several field tents. In the headquarters, the security guard said that there were several people outside who wanted to see him.
Chen Erwa was a little confused and thought, her troops just arrived here yesterday afternoon, why are there people who want to see her now? Although she was a little confused, Chen Erwa still ordered the guards to lead these people in.
Mayor Gao led several squires, and two attendants behind him carried a large box. The group entered the field tent where Chen Erwa was very uneasy. Seeing everyone coming in, Chen Erwa took the initiative and said enthusiastically: "Folks, please take a seat quickly."
Mayor Gao looked around, carefully sat down on the stool with half of his buttocks, and said very humbly: "Sir, hello, I am the mayor of this town, and my surname is Gao. This is something that is unique to the folks in our town. I hope you accept it."
In the past, Daping TownThey had been stationed there, but after Little Japan came, these soldiers ran away, and two to three hundred little Japs stationed in Daping Town. In the past, whether it was a gangster or a kid, Mayor Gao would always give him a large sum of money, hoping that these gangsters or kiddos would not bully the people.
However, no matter how much money was given in the past, these people still accepted the money given by them whether they should bully or bully the people. Especially the little devils not only bullied the people, but also raped many girls and killed many people. , which made Mayor Gao very helpless.
Therefore, after Mayor Gao saw that the little devil had run away, another troop stationed in Daping Town. This made Mayor Gao very uneasy. Early in the morning, Mayor Gao came with a few squires and a box of oceans. Let's take some action and hope that the people in the town will be less bullied.
Chen Erwa saw the nervous expressions of Mayor Gao and others, and then looked at the box full of oceans. She immediately understood what was going on, so she said with a smile: "Mayor Gao, I think you have misunderstood. Yes, we are a team led by the Communist Party, a common people's army, and we are dedicated to fighting the Japanese."
Hearing what Master Chen said, Mayor Gao hesitated and said, "Sir, are you the Eighth Route Army?" As soon as he finished asking, Mayor Gao immediately denied it, because Mayor Gao had also seen the Eighth Route Army before. They were all wearing older gray cloth military uniforms, leggings, and carrying long guns.
The troops in front of them all wore relatively new military uniforms with colorful colors, but they looked very beautiful and elegant. No one was seen wearing leggings, and the weapons they held were all short guns.
Seeing that Mayor Gao was a little hesitant, Chen Erwa smiled faintly and said very kindly: "Mayor Gao, we are from the 36th Group Army, and our commander-in-chief is named Zhang Yunfei."
Hearing this, Mayor Gao immediately stood up, looking a little excited, and said in surprise: "You are all the team led by Commander-in-Chief Zhang. We have all heard of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, but we didn't expect that you are Commander-in-Chief Zhang's third team." Sixteenth Army."
After saying that, Mayor Gao felt relieved and let out a long breath. His nervous heart slowly calmed down. Many ordinary people knew about Zhang Yunfei's name and the reputation of the 36th Group Army, and of course Mayor Gao, as the mayor, also knew about it.
Knowing that this unit belonged to the 36th Group Army, Mayor Gao was in a good mood and relaxed. He also smiled and said: "Sir, what's your surname! It seems that you plan to stay here permanently."
Chen Erwa smiled slightly and said: "Mayor Gao, you can just call me Commander Chen from now on. Our division is going to be temporarily stationed outside Daping Town. Look over there, our convoy has transported a large amount of cement. We are We are preparing to select a site to build a barracks."
"Really, that's great. With you stationed around us, our lives will be stable, and we don't have to worry about being bullied by the little devils anymore."
Seeing what Mayor Gao said, Master Chen also said proudly: "People of Daping Town, please rest assured, as long as our division is here, the little devils will never even think of entering Daping Town."
Mayor Gao believed in the 36th Group Army very much. Now that Commander Chen said this, he felt completely relieved. The two chatted happily for more than ten minutes. During the conversation, Mayor Gao also proposed to mobilize the common people to help the infantry. The 2nd Division built barracks and defenses to the east.
On more than a dozen mountains to the east of Daping Town, Chen Erwa is preparing to build a strong defense fortification, including some strong cement fortresses. After the construction of these fortifications is completed, a strong defense line will be formed to prevent Zhangjiakou's Japs from advancing westward.
Seeing Mayor Gao's proposal to mobilize the common people to help the troops build barracks and fortifications, Commander Chen repeatedly declined, but in the end he was still too kind to refuse. Commander Chen reluctantly agreed, but he thought in his heart that for those common people who participated in the construction, they would definitely be allowed to do so. They had enough to eat three meals a day.
Originally, Mr. Chen wanted to decline politely, but according to the intelligence, Mayor Gao had a good reputation among the local people. He was not the kind of bully in a bad town, and he was usually good to the people. Therefore, Mr. Chen sold Gao. The mayor agreed to save his face.
Before leaving, Mayor Gao still pointed to the big box and said, "Mr. Chen, look, this is a little bit of kindness from the folks. I hope you can accept it."
Seeing what Mayor Gao said, Commander Chen immediately said seriously: "Mayor Gao, our army's policy does not allow us to collect people's money. You'd better take it back."
Mayor Gao suddenly became serious when he saw Mr. Chen who was still smiling just now. He immediately realized that Mr. Chen would not be able to accept these huge items, so he immediately smiled respectfully and led others to carry them. These oceans bid farewell to Mr. Chen.
Not long after Mayor Gao returned, he really mobilized a lot of ordinary people to help the soldiers build barracks.The people were also very happy, getting along well with the soldiers, and started building barracks and fortifications together.
