4th Infantry Division, 7th Infantry Brigade Refugee Battalion. The camp was originally a prisoner of war camp, but with the advance of the 7th and 8th Infantry Brigades. They found that the prisoners they captured were not prisoners of war at all, but a large number of refugees. Their homes have long since been robbed of food. They had no choice but to follow the Black Mountain thieves to escape. In such a situation, this is the only way for them. Don't look at Yang Fengbu's only 30,000 people, it doesn't seem to be a lot, but the number of refugees who follow them far exceeds the number.

The 7th Infantry Brigade had two infantry regiments, and they had built a large number of camps of various kinds in more than seven, and the 8th and Independent Brigades were in such a situation that they would have made their situation even more difficult.

"Sir. We have more than 27,000 refugees in our hands, which is more than the combined strength of our brigade, so many people, they eat, drink, and clothe, and there are many, many old people, women, children, these people need bedding. To tell you the truth, for the sake of eating and drinking these people, and not being frozen, my people have already given them all the new military uniforms that they have just arrived. It's for us. It's too difficult. "The commander of the Seventh Brigade is called Chen Xian. In the early days, he was a member of the Yellow Turban Army, but he had a quick brain, so he was promoted quickly. At the beginning, he was a regimental staff officer of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, and when he fought against the Northern Army, he led a unit to fight fiercely and fought bravely. The results were also great. So, he was promoted to chief of staff. Brigade.

"Don't tell me this, it's useless." Yang Lin waved his arm and said.

"The situation with the Independence Brigade is even worse than yours. They have more than 40,000 refugees there. How do they solve such a problem? Tell you, be told this to me. I don't want to see more refugees getting the plague and more of them getting the cold. Death from illness. This is the order given to me by the Commander. If you disobey such an order. I'll send you to the Judge Advocate General's Office. Yang Lin said angrily. They all knew that their commanders had fought bloody battles.

"But sir, we still lack some supplies. How to solve these problems for me above. Chen Xian knew that this was an order. But whatever the order. He had to have plenty of supplies.

"I know you have a problem, no, the chief sent you some dumplings, there are not many dumplings, if they are distributed to us, there will really not be much. Order other condiments, mainly some dry goods, so that they can solve the problem. In short, a lot of things have to be worked out. Let them have a hot dumpling soup, and then everything will be sorted out. Yang Lin said.

"Yes. Sir. Chen Xian said with a smile.

Refugees were the biggest obstacle to the republican army's military operations, and the number of refugees suddenly exceeded a staggering 80,000, in fact, there were many more, about 100,000 in this area. But the Black Mountain thieves are in such a mess, and many people die. Scattered, scattered. The two flanked forces of the Republican Army could not advance quickly, thinking that their advance was stopped by a large number of prisoners of war and refugees without much distance. They simply can't take a step forward.

In desperation, the headquarters, having learned of such a result, canceled the military operation. Because the slow military operations had already revealed their operational intentions, the enemy's command had long since fled. Yang Feng had already jumped out of the encirclement. There is simply no point in continuing to fight. Conversely, a large number of refugees will result in greater casualties as a result of military operations. The IRA found many deaths in the course of its advance. Some were frozen to death and died of disease, and some people were unable to endure such torture and ended up on their own. It's all a big disaster for them.

After the arrival of the Republican Army, the situation can be regarded as better, otherwise many things will continue.

Dumplings were delivered here quickly. Many convoys are sent in day and night. They didn't dare to rest for a single step. Some of them came, and in the process of running, they could even fall asleep. So, in such a situation. A lot of things are moving fast.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the new year." Jia Xu said after eating. Dumplings were supposed to be eaten on Chinese New Year's Eve, but they sent all the dumplings to the front. Even today, they sent away a large number of dumplings. Military cadets eat noodle soup. Despite the addition of a lot of meat. But the students still felt that it was a little unpleasant, but they thought that they could bring more people to life. They also felt better. Because their chief also eats noodle soup.

"Huh. The refugees eat dumpling soup. We're doing this, and the chief is drinking noodle soup. Let Mr. Jia work hard. Shang Wu said with a helpless smile.

"What's so bad about that, the noodle soup is good. This shows that our base area has a good year. Jia Xu said with a smile. Shang Wu knew, Cao Cao was a little unbearable. Because they've been eating noodle soup for three days in a row. Most of the meat was sent to the front. Fortunately, there were some left on the last day, otherwise, Cao Cao really couldn't stand such a thing. It's for him. It's a big blow, because you can't drink alcohol during the Chinese New Year.

"Huh. You can think of it that way. Thank you so much for that. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"Nope. It should be me who thank you, it is people like you who give those who would have died hope and a chance to live. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how many people would die in the situation, and maybe I wouldn't be able to stand it myself. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. You're right. If the dumpling soup can give them hope, I really want to get them more, but there is no way, during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, many times some dry goods. Shang Wu said with a helpless smile.

"Don't blame yourself. You've done enough well. Compared with what the imperial court did, what we did was really good enough. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. When you say that, I feel better. But I'm sure it will be better in the future. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. Now that everyone is alive, some places can still eat dumpling soup. This shows that our results are not bad. In this case, we should do a good job and make some achievements, so that our affairs can become extremely advantageous. Jia Xu poured two bowls of water as he spoke, because some wine had also been sent to the front. Alcohol can be disinfected, and there is one to keep warm.

"Do we replace wine with water?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu with a smile.

"Yes, water instead of wine, dry." Jia Xu said with a bowl of water.

"." Shang Wu and Jia Xu drank dry after they met, although it was water, Jia Xu thought that this was the best wine. This kind of wine is the best wine.

Inside the refugee camp. Uncle Zhang finally got his own bowl of dumpling soup.

The smell is fragrant. It tastes even better and better.

"Delicious. It's delicious. A middle-aged man ate half a bowl in one go. The feeling of eating food was very good, and they felt that they were much warmer all of a sudden.

"It's dumpling soup. I heard that this was eaten after the Republican Army simply defeated the imperial court, and it was also called victory soup. Some people said as they ate. Good for the Republican Army. They all remembered. Today says Chinese New Year's Eve. Such a season, for them. It's a big day. Because it means that their situation will be more assured.

"It's delicious." Some children don't eat fast. But no one snatched their food, which allowed them to enjoy what they thought was the best food.

"Kids. What do you eat? After eating a few bites, Uncle Zhang suddenly felt that he should take a look at those Republican soldiers, without them, he would have died in an unknown place. The corpses may have been preserved. He hadn't eaten for two days and two nights. Cold and sleepy. Man has reached the most desperate time. It was the Republican Army that gave him hope of survival, and without them, he really couldn't have survived anything.

"Uncle, eat quickly. If that's not enough, here's a few more. A Republican private said.

"Kids. Tell you, what are you eating? Uncle Zhang asked. He had seen the IRA soldiers eating, and they had given them their dry rations. What they wear, what they use. It's all given by these soldiers.

"And, just like you." The private could not hide himself, because his saliva had already betrayed himself.

"Kids. Tell me. I don't tell anyone, if you don't. I'll tell someone else. "Uncle Zhang threatened like this.

"Don't, uncle, this is what the commander ordered us not to say." The other party said.

"I'm not eating." Uncle Zhang said and put the bowl in front of the other party.

"Uncle, let me tell you the truth, these dumplings are not enough, we don't have them at all, we eat dry food paste. That's all the chief bought dumplings from many nearby families, sir, cadets, they don't have such dumpling soup, you think, the chief doesn't have it, and we soldiers, let alone it. Private said.

"What do you say? Child? Uncle Zhang asked excitedly.

"We chiefs can't even eat. In order for you to eat the dumpling soup, all the dumplings are sent here. But that wasn't enough, and the commanders decided to give it to you first. Uncle, don't say it. In that case, I'll be punished. Private whispered.

Uncle Zhang looked at the child. As he spoke, he gave the dumplings in his hand to the other party.

"Kids. Uncle is full. You eat, it's the New Year. Uncle Zhang said.
