Battle of Changsha. Due to the great battle between hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops in the three provinces, countless villages and towns were affected wherever the war passed. In particular, the Japanese invaders burned, killed and looted along the way, and the people avoided them like the plague. Often, when they hear that the devil is coming, the local residents take their families to the countryside early to take refuge. Therefore, since the beginning of the war, the flow of refugees has not stopped.

The Chinese government's military, of course, will not embarrass its own people. Although these refugees often cause some trouble when they are deployed and transferred to the army, they are their own citizens after all, and the care that the national army should have at some times is still essential.

For example, providing some food to the victims, pointing out which way to go safer, or providing some convenience and help when crossing the river, these are all convenient things, and the army can help them. In any case, the displacement of civilians from their homes and the lack of protection by the army have always been inextricably linked. If the national army is strong, can the devil fight it? Do the people need to leave their homes and flee?

After crossing the Miluo River, the 500th Division stopped in the area of the Huangjiang River in Xinshi. This is a strategic retreat, and isn't it really a big rout, so you need to run all the way south? The "Heavenly Furnace Tactics" is based on the gradual consumption of the Japanese army's vital forces.

Gao Quan led the division headquarters and the troops directly under him to rest in a village more than ten miles southwest of Xinshi. The most important thing is that there is mud all over the body, wet muddy water, dry dust, clothes and pants, new and old layers, and the face and hands are black and white. These soldiers don't care, and Gao Quan doesn't care, but aren't there still ladies around him, of course these women are more concerned about this.

So, after finding an uninhabited village in the reconnaissance camp, and after Gao Quan settled the troops, the women went to wash up in a panic. As for Gao Quan himself, he rushed into the bedroom of the landlord's house with a body of mud, fell asleep on the bed. It's so tiring to walk so far.

I don't know how long I slept, Gao Quan was awakened by a strong urge to urinate, and after running to the toilet outside for a while, he returned to the room and washed his face, which was completely awake.

Hey? Hong Yingying is not here, Huiqin is not here, and even the Tang reporter who has been pestering him all the way is not there, where have these women gone? Are you tired of running and going to rest?

The guard brought over a cup of warm tea, Gao Quan took it and drank it in one gulp, "Jinhu, Yingying, where have they gone?" "Jin Hu is Gao Quan's personal guard, of course he should know Hong Yingying's whereabouts.

"Director Hong and Reporter Tang went to distribute food to the refugees." Jin Hu really lived up to the trust that the master placed in him, and he really knew the movements of these women.

Giving food to refugees? I'm afraid only Huiqin can think of doing this kind of charity, right? Tang Wenjuan may have followed to cover the news out of the professional needs of a reporter, as for Hong Yingying, it is estimated that she just saw that the two of them went, and she felt a little embarrassed to stay by herself, so she went with her.

This way to the south, Gao Quan's division headquarters also encountered many refugees. Gao Quan had long received such an education as "the army and the people are close to each other, and the army and the people are in love with each other," so the 500 Division did absolutely no worse than those ace troops in the Central Army in dealing with refugees.

Anyway, we are also a general now, a chief! The people have suffered a disaster, and as the chief, of course, they have to go to comfort and show their closeness to the people. Such a project of benefiting the people without spending money, Gao Quan will naturally not miss it. It doesn't take much effort to show a glorious image of loving the people like a son in front of the soldiers and the people, where can you find such a good thing in ordinary times?

The Ninth Theater is headed by Chief Xue, and there are many troops of the Central Army, and now it has become the main combat area in China at present, and all kinds of military supplies are of course generous. Gao Quan, not long after joining the Ninth War Zone, in terms of the food and ammunition received by the 500 Divisions, it was much stronger than when he was in the Fifth War Zone, and it was a trivial matter to take out some military rations to relieve the refugees. Anyway, it's not enough, and you can get it again.

At the entrance of the village, there was a black oppression, some squatting, some standing, some lying, and some sitting, all of whom were refugees. These refugees are not gathered together in a regular manner like the army, but in groups from east to west, and gangs and groups are huddled together. There was a big pot next to it, and rice was cooking in the pot.

After a while, someone shouted: The meal is ready! Refugees: "Boom! He rushed up and squeezed all kinds of rice containers to the side of the pot. The soldiers of the national army on the edge of the pot shouted loudly, maintained order, and took a lot of effort to make these refugees line up in several long lines and start serving porridge.

It's a soup kitchen. This kind of scene, which only exists in legends, actually appeared alive in front of him, in the station of the 500 divisions! Gao Quan, who saw this scene with his own eyes, was still shocked. The man in the apron took a big spoon and scooped out the hot porridge and rice from the pot and put it into various bowls and basins in front of him, while the soldiers next to him shouted loudly, trying to make the refugees who received the porridge line up and come one by one in order.

Huiqin held a large spoon and stood behind a large pot to serve porridge to the refugees. Hong Yingying put on a colonel uniform and shouted loudly, letting the refugees in front of the pot come one by one. Tang Wenjuan was holding a camera and snapping the camera. These three have their own duties and a clear division of labor. It's just that Huiqin, who is usually weak and cowardly, was able to show such composure in the face of the surging crowd at this time, which was beyond Gao Quan's expectations.

"Master's seat."

Liu Qi didn't know when he slipped to Gao Quan's side. Gao Quan glanced at the reconnaissance battalion commander in surprise. Is the reconnaissance battalion idle now? On this occasion of giving porridge to refugees, what is he, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, doing here? Even if it is to maintain order and protect Hong Yingying and the three of them, isn't it enough to have a special service battalion and a division headquarters guard company?

"Master, look over there." The Recon Battalion Commander quickly gave an answer as to why he was here, reaching out and pointing in a certain direction in the group of refugees.

Gao Quan looked in the direction of his finger and saw a few people over there who were no different from the refugees around him, crowded behind the crowd. These people did not go to any of the porridge queues to line up, nor did they find a place to fill their stomachs quickly after receiving the porridge rice. These boys just huddled together at the back of the crowd, as if they were waiting for someone or discussing something, and they looked like thieves. Is it a rogue, a thief?

Refugees who have left their homeland to hide from devils are not divided into good families and hooligan ruffians. Everyone escaped together, and naturally there were all kinds of people. For the people with bad conduct among these people, Gao Quan has no interest in acting as a policeman to help them change their ways, and he himself has a lot of things to do, so how can he be idle to care about these people?
