After a while, a middle-aged woman dressed plainly, carrying a pot of tea, holding several teacups, and a little restraint on her face, walked out of her room and walked towards the soldiers.

Walking in front of several busy soldiers, the middle-aged woman said enthusiastically: "Big brothers, let's rest first and drink some tea first!" ”

Some of the soldiers were also thirsty, and they drank heavily with their teacups, and the woman, who was a little reserved at first, immediately laughed when she saw this, and 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, with the understanding of the soldiers of the 36th Group Army, gradually let down their guard and timidity, and slowly integrated with the soldiers.

On some streets, some ordinary people also took the initiative to help the soldiers clean up the battlefield, help the soldiers collect weapons, carry the bodies of the little devils to the big trucks, wash the blood stains on the ground, and so on.

Gradually, more and more civilians joined in, and a large truckload, a large truckload of weapons and ammunition was filled and transported outside the city. The corpse of the little devil was carefully searched by the soldiers, and all the useful things were collected, and then, together with the common people, the body of the little devil was carried to the big truck next to it.

Some ordinary people may have been oppressed by little devils before, and when they saw the corpse of the little devil, they either kicked a few times or spat on a mouthful of saliva. More ordinary people were very happy to see the soldiers kill so many little devils.

An old man who is almost old, seeing that many people on the street take the initiative to help the soldiers, and the soldiers are also very enthusiastic, the old man looked at it, his eyes were a little moist, and he sighed: "The old man has lived so much, and he has never seen such a good team, this is really our people's team." ”

With the help of the common people, the battlefield was cleaned up much faster, some streets had been cleaned, a small number of businesses had begun to open their doors to do business, and some ordinary people were also preparing to go to the countryside to inform those who had taken refuge that they could come back.

In Guisui City, with the participation of the common people, the battlefield cleaning is being carried out in an orderly manner, and Daping Town, which is about 50 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou, is also in full swing at this time.

Since Zhang Yunfei ordered that Daping Town would be used as the station of the Second Infantry Division, the transport team consisted of dozens of large trucks, and in the morning, a whole vehicle of cement and steel bars was transported, and the officers and men of the Second Infantry Division were preparing to select several flat and open wastelands outside Daping Town and build barracks there.

The common people of Daping Town, since yesterday afternoon, saw a lot of soldiers coming, and the common people were so frightened that they hurriedly closed the gates, and some of them were ready to flee to the nearby countryside early tomorrow morning.

The gunfire outside began yesterday evening and continued to sound until 10 o'clock in the evening, and after 10 o'clock, although the gunfire outside suddenly stopped, many people were still a little frightened and couldn't sleep all night.

Early this morning, Mayor Gao of Daping Town took a few squires in the town who were a little faceless, and a few followers in the back were carrying a large box.

Mayor Gao's purpose is obvious, that is, he wants to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, hoping that he will send the five thousand oceans, and the army outside the town can be withdrawn.

Last night, after the little devils retreated, the Fourth and Fifth Infantry Divisions had already withdrawn overnight, and at present, there were only more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Second Infantry Division outside Daping Town, and everyone camped in field tents, and did not enter the town to disturb the people.

When Mayor Gao brought people to find him, Chen Erwa, the commander of the Second Infantry Division, was looking at the nearby terrain from a distance and finalizing a few places to build barracks in the future.

Chen Erwa was a little puzzled in her heart, thinking, her troops had just arrived here yesterday afternoon, why did some people want to see her now. Although she couldn't figure it out in her heart, Chen Erwa still ordered the guards to lead these ordinary people in.

Mayor Gao took a few squires, and the two entourages behind him carried a large box, and the group was very nervous and entered the field tent where Chen Erwa was, and when they saw everyone coming in, Chen Erwa took the initiative to say enthusiastically: "Fellow villagers, please sit down." ”

Mayor Gao looked around, sat down next to the stool with half of his buttocks, and said very humbly: "Hello, sir, I am the mayor of this town, my surname is Gao, this is a little bit of the heart of the villagers in our town, please smile." ”

In the past, Daping Town was stationed in [***], but after Xiao Yue was originally here, these [***] ran away, and two or three hundred little devils were stationed in Daping Town. In the past, whether it was [***] or a little devil, Mayor Gao would send a lot of money every time, hoping that these [***] or little devils would not oppress the people.

However, no matter how much money was sent in the past, these people should bully the people or bully the people, and the money they sent was still received, especially the little devils, who not only bullied the people, but also ruined a lot of girls and killed a lot of people, which made Mayor Gao very helpless.

Therefore, after Mayor Gao saw that the little devil ran away, another army was stationed in Daping Town, which made Mayor Gao very uneasy, and early in the morning he took a few squires and carried a box of oceans to come to take a look, hoping that the people in the town would be less bullied.

Chen Erwa saw Mayor Gao's nervous expressions, and looked at the box full of oceans, and immediately understood what was going on, so she said with a smile: "Mayor Gao, I think you have misunderstood, we are a team led by [***], a team of ordinary people, and we are specialized in fighting devils." ”

Hearing what Division Commander Chen said, Mayor Gao hesitated a little and said, "Sir, are you the Eighth Route Army?" As soon as he finished asking, Mayor Gao immediately denied it in his heart, because Mayor Gao had also seen the Eighth Route Army before, and the Eighth Route Army was wearing relatively old gray cloth military uniforms, leggings, and spears on their backs.

The troops in front of them are wearing relatively new uniforms, and the colors are also colorful, but they look very beautiful and generous, and they don't see anyone wearing leggings, and the weapons they are holding are 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 called Zhang Yunfei." ”

Hearing this, Mayor Gao immediately stood up, looked 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 I didn't expect you to be Commander-in-Chief Zhang's 36th Group Army." ”

After speaking, Mayor Gao was relieved, let out a long sigh, and a nervous heart slowly calmed down. Zhang Yunfei's name and the prestige of the 36th Group Army are known to many ordinary people, and Mayor Gao, who is the mayor of the town, certainly knows some of them.

Knowing that this unit belonged to the 36th Group Army, Mayor Gao was in a good mood, and his mood was relaxed, and he also smiled and said: "Sir, your surname!" Looks like you're planning to stay here permanently. ”

Chen Erwa smiled slightly and said: "Mayor Gao, you can call me Division Commander Chen in the future, our division is ready to be temporarily stationed outside Daping Town, you see over there, our convoy has transported a large amount of cement, and we are preparing to choose 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 little devils anymore."

Seeing Mayor Gao say this, Senior Commander Chen was also full of arrogance: "The people of Daping Town, please rest assured, as long as our division is here, the little devil will not want to enter Daping Town." ”

Commander Gao believed in the 36th Group Army very much, and now when he saw Division Commander Chen say this, his heart was completely relieved, and the two talked happily for more than ten minutes, during which Mayor Gao also proposed to mobilize the common people to help the Second Infantry Division build barracks and fortifications to the east.

On more than a dozen hills east of Daping Town, Chen Erwa plans to build a strong fortification, including some solid cement fortresses, which, after completion, will form a solid line of defense against the westward advance of the little devils in Zhangjiakou.

Seeing that Mayor Gao proposed to mobilize the common people to help the troops build barracks and fortifications, Division Commander Chen repeatedly shirked it, but in the end, it was still difficult to refuse, and Division Commander Chen reluctantly agreed, but he thought in his heart that for those ordinary people who participated in the construction, they would definitely be allowed to eat three meals a day.

Originally, Senior Chief Chen still wanted to refuse politely, but according to intelligence, this Mayor Gao still has a good reputation among the local people, and he is not the kind of bully in the evil township, and he is usually good to the people, so Senior Chief Chen sold Mayor Gao a face and agreed.

Before leaving, Mayor Gao still pointed to the big box and said, "Senior Chen, you see, this is a little bit of the villagers' thoughts, and I hope you can accept it." ”

When Division Commander Chen saw Mayor Gao say this, he immediately said solemnly: "Mayor Gao, the policy of our army does not allow us to accept money from the common people, so you should carry it back." ”

When Mayor Gao saw Master Chen, who was still smiling just now, he suddenly became serious, and immediately realized that it was impossible for Master Chen to accept these oceans, so he immediately smiled respectfully, took the others, carried these oceans, and said goodbye to Master Chen.

Not long after Mayor Gao went back, he really mobilized a lot of people to help the soldiers build barracks, and the people were also very happy, and they got along well with the soldiers, and started to build barracks and fortifications together......
