Zheng Runcheng's words did not make the generals have any too surprised expressions, what is there in two hundred kilometers? Thousands of kilometers have come, what is 200 kilometers? No matter how difficult it is, is it still a few thousand kilometers difficult? No one knew what Mr. Cheng meant.

"Line one hundred and a half ninety. Brothers, the motherland is ahead, and we must muster up the courage to walk the last part of the road! The wolf meat that the Einsatzgruppen got back last time is now not much left, and the troops are likely to face the danger of running out of food again. ”

"You are the backbone of all the troops, and you must do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers after you go back. Tell everyone, we have persevered for thousands of miles, and now there are only a few days left, the big guy gritted his teeth and persevered, we must walk to Tacheng alive! ”

After saying what should be said, Zheng Runcheng specially asked a few generals who looked more excited to express their attitudes on the spot, and then let everyone leave.

After Hu Fei returned to the Einsatzgruppen, he immediately summoned all the generals of his lineage and informed the generals that the troops would return to China in three days. Since Zheng Runcheng has already announced it in public, even if Hu Fei does not hold a meeting to announce it, the officers and soldiers of the Einsatzgruppen will hear the news from others. Rather than making the officers and soldiers suspicious, it is better for him to personally tell everyone the good news.

The officers and men of the Einsatzgruppen are also human beings, and when they first heard the good news, they reacted like those senior generals in the headquarters, and they were so excited that they couldn't find the north. After the good news was announced, Hu Fei warned the generals: After going down, the troops must be restrained, and the military regulations and military discipline are three points stricter than usual! We have only one goal, and that is: we must bring these soldiers back to China alive!

Hu Fei's speech among the generals of the Einsatzgruppen was obviously more effective than what Zheng Runcheng said at the headquarters, and Gou Tianxiao, Ji Jinbiao and other generals immediately bowed down to receive the order after listening to it. Regardless of the specific effect, at least these people are still relatively satisfied with their attitude.

From the next day, while marching, Hu Fei was attentive to the feelings of the Einsatzgruppen soldiers. The soldiers who were originally a little strong in spirit all showed their energetic side on this day, and everyone had a smile on their faces, and some of the officers who were originally short-tempered had all become good-tempered today. The military song, which had not been seen for many days, was also sounded in the marching columns.

The soldiers have spirits, and the officers are naturally happier. Although the porridge became thinner and thinner, the enthusiasm of the warriors did not diminish in the slightest. The military song is loud, the military appearance is neat, and an energetic hundred battles is striding towards the country!

If you want to keep going at this pace, it was originally estimated that it would take three days to reach the border, but now it seems that it will only take two days!

The first day was spent in this state of extreme excitement by all the officers and men of the Volunteers. So much so that some fighters were so excited that they couldn't sleep after walking all day and night!

In the middle of the night, when Hu Fei patrolled the camp, he found that more than thirty percent of the soldiers were twelve o'clock at night, still chatting excitedly and not sleeping. That's not a good thing! People's energy is limited, and if you don't sleep enough at night, how can you have the spirit to march during the day?

After going to Zheng Runcheng to report his findings and concerns, Hu Fei went back and set a rule for all the officers and soldiers of the Einsatzgruppen: as long as they are not on duty, everyone must turn off the lights and go to sleep at nine o'clock at night! It is strictly forbidden for anyone who should go to bed to chat after nine o'clock and not sleep!

Although this order was a bit inexplicable, the officers and men of the Einsatzgruppen still obeyed it without discount.

In response to Hu Fei's report, Zheng Runcheng also gave similar orders to various troops, but it is unknown how General Zheng's orders were implemented. Just looking at the increasing dark circles in the troops, and the slower and slower pace of the march during the day, it can be seen that Commander-in-Chief Zheng's orders do not seem to be strictly carried out to the end.

On the first day, the soldiers were in good spirits; The next day is the beating spirit; On the third day, the number of sick people increased sharply, and there was even a phenomenon of death from fatigue due to not sleeping for two nights!

There are not many people who stay up all night and die without sleeping, and there are only a dozen cases in total among the nearly 30,000 volunteers, which is much less than the number of people who die of disease and starvation every day. Therefore, the death of these ten people did not attract too much attention from Zheng Yuncheng.

Towards dusk on the third day, the Spearhead Company found a boundary marker. Two Chinese characters are engraved on the boundary monument: China. Zheng Runcheng announced: We have now stepped into the country! We returned home victorious!

Tens of thousands of volunteers roared with joy! Returning home, we are victorious!

In order to celebrate his victorious return to China, Zheng Yuncheng ordered the troops to rest in place, and he had to rest on the side of the boundary monument for one night before leaving!

Usually, the team stopped and camped until it was dark and the road was out of sight, but today they entered the country and set up camp an hour in advance. The soldiers joked loudly with each other. When you return home, you can have a good rest!

Since yesterday, the troops have run out of food, and even the Einsatzgruppen, which has always seemed to be quite wealthy, has not had a single grain of food in their hands. The pack horses that pulled the baggage were slaughtered and stewed into horse broth, which allowed the soldiers and civilians to survive for two days, and today's dinner seems to have become a problem again.

Slaughter the last pack horses! He took out all the grain and wolf meat in the officer's hand, dug up the snow and made some grass roots, and put all the messy things in the pot, added water and salt, and boiled it into a pot of fresh soup. Today's dinner problem is finally solved. What to do tomorrow?

Zheng Runcheng has a small expectation in his heart, if he can meet the local people tomorrow, the food problem of the volunteers will be completely solved! When you go back to your own country, let the people lead the way, whether it is to find the local government or the local garrison, it is natural to ask for food! With food, his army will survive and will be able to continue to fight the Japanese army in the future!

The night was a restful night, neither harassed by wild beasts nor attacked by enemies, and the soldiers of the volunteers had a rare good night's sleep.

When the day dawned, the officers and men got up one after another to prepare for the start of a new day's journey. When the troops were assembled, something happened, and nearly a third of the officers and soldiers couldn't get out of bed! There are people who suffer from colds and fevers, vomiting and diarrhea, and some who have sore arms, legs, and heads, anyway, there are all kinds of problems, and it is as if all the illnesses have struck collectively overnight!

Is it not adaptable? Or was he poisoned and plotted by someone? It doesn't look like it. The officers and men did not suffer from one disease, most of them just committed old diseases again, and the only difference from ordinary people was that the number of people who fell ill was too large and the time was too concentrated.

The generals sat down together and carefully analyzed, and it was determined that during the dozens of days of marching in the Soviet Union, the officers and soldiers were tense from top to bottom. Now that I've returned to China, that string has been relaxed. As soon as the strength in people's hearts is slackened, all diseases will come out!

What to do? Cure! Cure the disease before you pull it out!
