Ye Feng smiled lightly, opened the letter, took out the letter inside, and the lines of beautiful handwriting were printed into Ye Feng's eyes, between the lines, he could feel Chen Ruoyun's strong affection, after reading the letter, Ye Feng couldn't help but see Chen Ruoyun's figure in front of him.
After reading the letter, Ye Feng gently and carefully put the letter away, and then put it into the drawer of his desk, where several letters received before were already placed, all of which were written by Chen Ruoyun to Ye Feng.
"It seems that we need to take some time to pick up Chen Ruoyun from Chongqing."
……
Jiaxing area.
Since the recovery of Jiaxing, there have been heavy troops of the newly formed 6th Army stationed in this area, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Third Infantry Division have been stationed in the Jiaxing area.
The railway from Jiaxing to Hangzhou is being repaired, there is a railway between the two places, but there are a few damages, it is not a difficult thing to repair and open to traffic, in addition to the railway, the highway is also widening and reinforced.
The more than 3,000 puppet soldiers who were captured, except for a small number who were shot, were mostly undergoing labor reform, some were repairing railways, and some were building roads.
Jiaxing is a bridgehead, which can attack Suzhou in the north and Shanghai in the east, and the strategic location is very good. After the recovery of Jiaxing, Ye Feng considered first repairing the roads and railways and maintaining smooth traffic, with smooth traffic, the units of the new 6th Army could quickly maneuver.
On the railway from Hangzhou to Jiaxing, about hundreds of puppet soldiers are repairing the damaged section of the railway under the watchful eye of some soldiers.
These puppet soldiers seem to have been working for some time. The military uniform on his body was covered with sweat and even mud, and he didn't look like it used to be. It looks like a bit of a coolie, but the clothes are the former puppet army uniforms.
These puppet soldiers are laying sand and gravel, laying sleepers, and erecting railroad tracks, and several people who look like skilled workers are guiding these puppet soldiers to repair this section of the railway.
On both sides, there were some soldiers of the newly formed 6th Army, armed with Garand rifles. Or with a Thomson submachine gun to monitor these puppet troops, the soldiers keep a certain distance from these puppet troops, watching from a distance.
"Squad leader. Are you tired? "A young puppet soldier who was working said to a bearded middle-aged puppet soldier.
The middle-aged bearded man was obviously a puppet army squad leader in the past, and the bearded man said while working: "Tired is more tired, but." Since I stopped helping Little Japan. My heart is much brighter and more down-to-earth. I can afford this kind of labor. ”
The young puppet soldier also nodded in agreement and said: "Squad leader, I feel the same way, although I am a little tired, but my heart is steady, in addition, the new 6th Army has not done anything to us, as long as we are obedient." Basically, they don't beat and scold us, which is like the little Japan in the past. They didn't treat us as human beings at all, they treated us like dogs. ”
The middle-aged bearded man took over the conversation and said: "The new 6th Army is really good, we work hard, there will always be a day, the new 6th Army said, work hard, and let us go after two years of labor." ”
The fact that everyone was free to talk during the labor period did not stop it, and the soldiers of the new 6th Army in the distance did not care about this.
The conversation between the two was heard by several puppet soldiers who were working, and a short puppet soldier came over and said: "After two years, I really don't know what to do in Ludao, although the labor here is a little tired, but I can eat enough at every meal, at least I can eat enough, after the labor period expires, it will be difficult to find such a job that can eat well." ”
A Baijing puppet soldier next to him smiled and said: "You may not know the way, at present, a large number of factories have been established in the jurisdiction of the new 6th Army, and a large number of factories are recruiting, as long as the body is strong, I am afraid that I will not be able to find something to do." ”
The words of this white puppet army quickly aroused the interest of several puppet soldiers next to him, and these people looked at this puppet army while working, showing great interest.
Seeing that everyone wanted to hear what they had to say, the white puppet soldier smiled proudly, puffed out his chest and said: "I heard that when I enter these factories to work, I work 8 hours a day, rest for 4 days every month, eat a meal in the factory at noon, and send a few oceans at the end of the month, as little as two or three oceans, and as many as five or six oceans." ”
"There's still food to eat at noon!"
"As long as you work 8 hours, you have 4 days off every month!"
"At the end of the month, I will send a few oceans!"
"There's such a good thing!"
“……”
The puppet army around was surprised, there was such a good thing, thinking about how he used to be a puppet army, working under Japan, and only mixing a mouthful of food, as for the ocean, it is difficult to see one or two pieces all year round.
The exclamations of these puppet soldiers, a captain and company commander of the newly formed 6th Army in the distance heard it, and couldn't help but smile, the words of this Baijing puppet army are basically true, and the situation is about the same.
The captain and company commander of the new 6th Army was in charge of supervising the work and supervising the repair of this damaged section of the railway by these puppet troops. These puppet soldiers did not show displeasure when they saw this captain and company commander, on the contrary, they smiled, so a bold puppet soldier said loudly.
"Sir, can you tell me a little bit about these factories? Is that really the case? ”
Seeing a lot of puppet soldiers looking at him, the captain and company commander smiled proudly, took a few steps forward, stood on a pile of neatly arranged sleepers, cleared his throat, and spoke loudly.
"Brothers of the puppet army, although you are our prisoners, through our careful investigation, you have no bad deeds, and the officials under the little Japanese are also mixed food, and some are even forced to make a living, and your work here is an opportunity to be a new person, and you can be an upright Chinese again in the future."
"For you, our military seat is tolerant, as long as you honestly work and reform, you can be released after two years and become a new person. Our new 6th Army has built a large number of factories, and you can go to these factories to find suitable jobs after your labor period has expired. ”
"Our factories are all over Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo and other places, and as far as I know, there are dozens of factories of various types that have been built, and they need a large number of workers. Our military seat is sympathetic to the workers' brothers, and all the brothers who enter these factories to work are treated well. ”
"Just like what the brother just said, working in these factories, working 8 hours a day, 4 days off a month, eating a free lunch at noon in the factory, and the monthly salary is also a lot, at least several oceans, everyone has worked in the factory for a few years, accumulating some oceans, marrying a wife and having children is not a problem,......
The captain's company commander was eloquent, and he spoke in an orderly manner for more than ten minutes, for these puppet soldiers who were at a low point in their lives, a blueprint appeared in front of them, and they were full of hope for life.
"Is there really such a good thing?"
"That's great, I'm going to do honest labor reform."
"Sir, thank you."
“”
These puppet soldiers all exclaimed in bursts of exclamation, looking incredulously shocked, but they didn't expect that there would be such a good thing.
Some puppet soldiers patted their heads in annoyance, they were really confused at the beginning, and they actually ran to do things for the Japanese, if they were not puppet soldiers at the beginning, they might have been a worker now, and they would have taken a few oceans a month, what a beautiful life this is.
A large number of puppet soldiers, in addition to being annoyed, but also regretting and secretly making up their minds, working hard to reform through labor, being honest and behaving in a proper manner for two years, and being good people in the future.
After the captain and company commander finished speaking, everyone was more motivated, and they were in full swing, and they couldn't believe that these puppet soldiers were reforming through labor.
Around noon.
A soldier shouted with a tin trumpet: "It's time to eat, everyone stop and eat first." ”
Hearing the shouts, these hundreds of puppet soldiers were overjoyed, put down their work notes one after another, and began to line up neatly and long, one by one to receive their lunch today, from the neat queue can be seen that the spirit of these puppet soldiers, discipline and other aspects are much better.
"Two steamed buns per person, a bowl of porridge." The soldiers of the cooking squad shouted loudly, and then handed out a lunch to the puppet soldiers.
The "Pangu" company has shipped a large amount of grain from overseas, and the grain reserves of the entire new 6th Army are very sufficient, and these puppet troops who have been reformed through labor are also wiped out, and they can basically eat enough, like today's noon, they eat white-flour steamed buns, which are not small, and if they are not enough, they can still ask for one after eating.
After eating lunch, the puppet soldiers took a short break for half an hour, and during this half an hour, these puppet soldiers were in small groups, chatting and resting for a short time.
"It's so filling. I ate three white-flour steamed buns at noon today, and I enjoyed it. ”
"I also ate three and drank two large bowls of porridge."
"The new 6th Army is really amazing, give me a meal of fine food, if it was before, I really wouldn't dare to think about it."
These puppet armies sighed one after another, and the generosity of the new 6th Army also made these puppet armies very envious. In the distance, the soldiers who were in charge of monitoring the work of the hundreds of puppet soldiers also had dinner.
The food of the soldiers is very good, not only white rice, steamed buns, noodles, etc., but also exquisite stir-fried vegetables, three large wooden basins, two meat and one vegetable, very rich, much better than these puppet soldiers.

Xiaoshan Airport.
When more than 3,000 puppet soldiers were working hard to carry out labor reform, one morning, on the huge Xiaoshan airfield, dozens of C-47 transport planes were docked neatly and on standby.
Groups of heavily armed fighters, with vigorous steps, began to board the plane and board one C-47 transport plane after another.
One transport plane after another, loaded with heavily armed soldiers, began to slowly drive towards the runway, taxiing, accelerating, and leaping into the blue sky and gradually into the distance.
