Chapter Twenty-Four: The Volunteers Enter Tacheng

The enthusiastic herdsmen took out all the goat's milk stored at home and entertained the Einsatzgruppen cavalry. With more than 100 officers and soldiers, the herdsmen's goat's milk is obviously not enough for everyone to drink. The enthusiastic herdsman didn't want to treat the hero in his heart slowly, and the family's milk was not enough, so he directly asked his wife to carry the milk bucket and run to the flock to milk it.

Hu Fei is not a person who likes to slap a swollen face and become fat, if he is hungry, he is hungry, and if he is thirsty, he is thirsty, and there is nothing polite to be polite at this time. With a shout, the soldiers dismounted one after another, happily lining up to drink goat's milk. The herdsman's wife finally packed a bucket and brought it over, and the effort here was gone in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, the middle-aged woman milked fast enough, and their family produced enough sheep, and Hu Fei, a hundred or so cavalrymen, drank fresh goat milk. After drinking bucket after bucket, squeezing bucket after bucket, drinking bucket after bucket, and by the time all the officers and men of the Einsatzgruppen had drunk a bowl of goat's milk, it was already two hours later.

Hu Fei took out the money to pay the bill, but the herdsman's family said they didn't want anything. Not only that, but the enthusiastic herdsmen also wanted to slaughter a few sheep to entertain the Einsatzgruppen cavalry.

The time to slaughter the sheep and cook the meat is a bit long, Hu Fei can't wait, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the other side of the border can't wait! Hu Fei swallowed his saliva and refused the herdsmen's kindness, forcibly left a stack of silver dollars, and then remounted in the direction of this family's guidance, and quickly rode straight to Tacheng.

Tacheng is actually not far from here, Hu Fei got the guidance of the herdsmen, and after an hour of galloping on his prancing horse, he saw this small border city.

The entry of the cavalry into the city caused a huge sensation in this small border county! When the soldiers and civilians in the city learned that this cavalry had driven thousands of miles and returned from the Soviet Union to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteers, they were excited!

The anti-Japanese volunteers, the army that fought against the Japanese, this is a hero! It's the hero's troops who have come to our tower city! Excited people rushed to tell each other, and thousands of people rushed to the streets to watch the news.

The modest streets of the county seat were quickly blocked by the surging crowds, and Hu Fei and his special team were surrounded by onlookers from four directions: front, back, left, and right.

This is the anti-Japanese troops? This is the people's hero! The excited crowd pointed, discussed, and cheered, but did not let the cavalry advance.

Hu Fei waved his hand and greeted the people in the city, with a gentle smile on his face. Don't look at Hu Fei's ability, he really hasn't experienced this kind of scene! Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Hu Fei and his comrades-in-arms were deeply moved. Although Hu Fei basically didn't understand what the crowd was shouting, it didn't prevent him from feeling enthusiasm from his excited faces.

A Uyghur woman brought bottles of milk wine to her; The old Kazakh man held the golden roasted whole sheep in front of the volunteer horses; Girls dressed in white sang and danced around the cavalry; Folk musicians automatically stand on the side of the street and play folk music to cheer up.

The army and the masses are interacting: the crowds are cheering, and the heroes are saluting and thanking. The military and civilian family has been most perfectly embodied at this moment.

Now that they have returned to China, the Volunteers should have the appearance of an army! Hu Fei restrained the troops to maintain their formation as much as possible, and even when accepting gifts from the people along the way, they should first remember the proper appearance of a soldier. A military salute not only expressed gratitude, but also made the people feel the solemn military appearance of the volunteers.

The people of Tacheng respect and love the volunteers, so they welcome their own special cavalry, and we can't smash our own signboards!

For a majestic and polite heroic army, the people of Tacheng were obviously more satisfied, and the music, dance, and cheers were more enthusiastic. Today's Tacheng has become a sea of joy, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are enjoying this fiery atmosphere to the fullest.

After the officials of the Tacheng County Government got the news, all the civil servants of the county government, led by the county magistrate, poured out into the streets to greet the volunteers entering the city.

The crowd, which had been singing and laughing and noisy just a moment ago, suddenly fell silent. The crowd moved to both sides, revealing a passage in the middle. The narrow passage quickly widened and lengthened, and a group of people walked through the end of the passage.

When one person walked up to Hu Feima and introduced himself, he was the county magistrate of Tacheng County.

Dressed in robes and felt hats, the civil servants in Tacheng were dressed very differently from the government officials Hu Fei had seen in the northeast.

Hu Fei took out the letter of introduction handed to him by Commander-in-Chief Zheng, and told the county magistrate that his cavalry was only a front station, and there was an army of tens of thousands of people waiting there on the border. The Volunteers were now in trouble and needed food, medicine, and a large number of doctors. He came to Tacheng to ask for help.

After reading the letter of introduction, the county magistrate was convinced of Hu Fei's identity, and immediately separated the crowd and led Hu Fei and his cavalry team to the military camp in Tacheng County. The army can't be stationed in the county government, right? There are military camps in Tacheng County, and thousands of troops have been guarding this important border town since the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The barracks were large enough, and there were not many garrisons left, and the vacant barracks were just right for the Einsatzgruppen to be stationed temporarily. The county magistrate told Hu Fei that he was going to collect food, collect medicines, and find a doctor now.

It's enough to feed tens of thousands of people, and he, the county magistrate, can't take it out at all! Seeing that the enthusiasm of the people in the city is quite high today, the county magistrate thinks that he may be able to think of a way from these enthusiastic people.

Hu Fei knew that the arrival of so many volunteers would definitely bring certain difficulties to the local area. The border town was not a wealthy area in the first place, and it was difficult for the Volunteers to come so many people at once. It's not appropriate to urge, but Hu Fei still has to urge, tens of thousands of people over there are waiting on the line of life and death! Tomorrow, at most tomorrow, no matter how much personnel and materials are raised, the Einsatzgruppen will have to return to the border! The county magistrate knew the difficulties of the volunteers, and he understood Hu Fei's eagerness. Just today afternoon and tomorrow morning, he can make up as much as he can, and ensure that Hu Fei can go back with his things tomorrow afternoon to join the army!

Today, the big guys were so tired that they were not invited, and Hu Fei and his comrades-in-arms rested in the barracks in Tacheng after they were full of food and drink. Outside the barracks, there were still enthusiastic people surrounding the gate and were reluctant to leave for a long time, so the guards at the camp gate temporarily worked as part-time commentators.

The bloody struggle of the volunteers and the great transfer of the potential of the volunteers all affect the hearts of the people. The guards' explanations were not brilliant, but they provoked bursts of applause from the crowd. During this period, there were businessmen and wealthy families in Tacheng who donated money and materials. Hu Fei slept in the barracks, and handed over all the work of donating food and goods to Liu Dong, the chief of staff.

After a long day of work, the county magistrate took dozens of doctors and dozens of truckloads of medicines and food to the border with the Einsatzgruppen in the afternoon of the next day.

With food, people's spirit and body are well restored. The arrival of doctors and medicines has saved countless lives. However, due to the lack of food and clothing, and the long march, many people still overloaded their bodies. These people have completely overdrawn their lives in advance, and even if they have the best doctors and medicines, there is still no way to recover their lives that have been overdrawn.

For another three days, those who could recover were restored, and those who could not have been restored left their lives on the land of the motherland. It can be said that the living are full of hope again, and the dead have no regrets.

General Zheng Runcheng, the commander-in-chief of the volunteers, led more than 20,000 volunteers to Tacheng, where tens of thousands of welcoming crowds were waiting for them.
