Chapter 171 - Accepting Refugees
Yan Junliu, a general of the Japanese army, was born in a samurai family, experienced the Russo-Japanese War, his lungs were once hit by bullets, and then he always looked sick when he was small. On the one hand, the commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Taoichi, strongly encouraged him to send troops, and on the other hand, the Japanese base camp for invading China was not prepared, and asked the officers of the Front Army in China to suspend military operations. If they don't do anything, the Ogizhou soldiers are afraid that they will be surrounded by the Chinese people, to this point, Yan Junliu has no other choice, and at this time, due to the unauthorized actions of the officers in China, Li Zongren, the commander of the fifth theater of China, gathered a large number of Chinese troops in the area centered on Xuzhou, and the Japanese army base camp saw the opportunity to gather and annihilate the Chinese army, so it changed its original intention, and transferred troops from the country. Trying to eat the Chinese army near Xuzhou in one bite, in this context, Yan Junliu decided to mobilize the Anjin Brigade directly under the Central China Dispatch Army, the Zhishan Brigade and the Li Chun Brigade to take the train north from the Tianjin-Pudong Railway.
However, due to the continuous attack and destruction of a small group of troops sent by the Chinese army, the Japanese reinforcements from the north to Chuxian County, Anhui Province had to abandon the train and change to walking, because the Tianjin-Pudong Railway had been destroyed, the Japanese reinforcement speed was greatly slowed down, and the logistics supply could not keep up, so it could only rely on airdrops. However, it is not easy to supply tens of thousands of people with weapons, ammunition and food, and the airdrop is just a drop in the bucket.
Let's say that Liu Changfeng and the others woke up from sleep, had dinner, and were drinking red wine in Feiyun Cave, Lian Yi was so surprised that he almost couldn't believe his eyes, but he was born as a farmer and was not used to drinking red wine, so he smacked his lips and frowned slightly.
There was a fire burning in the cave, warm as spring, Liu Changfeng, Lu Shaohui and others were enjoying red wine comfortably, and Wang Feiyan, dressed in snow-white, hurriedly walked in.
''Feiyan, come over for a drink?'' Situ Ming said with a smile. Looking at Wang Feiyan who was in a hurry, she felt a slight sense of guilt in her heart, before she came to Feiyun Village, Wang Feiyan may have had troubles in her heart, but she definitely didn't have such a hard time now.
''Okay, Mei Xiang, give me a drink.'' Wang Feiyan thought about it and said with a smile.
''Miss, your wine. Mei Xiang smiled and handed Wang Feiyan a glass of red wine.
Wang Feiyan didn't have the slightest pretentiousness, and sat down next to Situ Ming generously, with neat movements, elegant and confident, took the red wine, and took a small sip gently.
''Miss Feiyan, you've worked hard these days. Liu Changfeng said apologetically.
''What is this saying by the commander-in-chief?'' Compared to everyone who is born and dies every day, what do I do?'' Wang Feiyan said with a smile.
''Miss Wang is getting better and better at talking, and can be inside and out, but this kid picked up a big bargain. Mo Haitao said teasingly.
Wang Feiyan is still a girl after all, and when she heard this, she glanced at Situ Ming slightly, and her face suddenly turned crimson. And Situ Ming looked proud, and said with a smile; ''Sichuan Yankee, you don't need to be envious, jealous and hateful, what is yours is yours, and you can't force it if it's not yours. ‘’
Mo Haitao rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile; ''Cantonese Aberdeen, are you still in trouble?'' Look at me, one day I'll find a girl who is more atmospheric than the sister of the Wang family, and I'll be angry with you. ‘’
''Okay, you look for it slowly, we'll see.'' Situ Ming Shi Ran said.
''Don't be poor. Wang Feiyan glanced at Situ Ming, said shyly, and then said formally; "Two chiefs, yesterday Bengbu City was broken by the Japanese devils, a large number of refugees have fled, in Feiyun Village outside Wangjiagou Village, today suddenly poured in two or three thousand people, I took it upon myself to give them a meal, originally I also had good intentions, but who knew this, they actually didn't want to go, but relied on us, now they are outside Feiyun Village, and they can't leave. ‘’
Liu Changfeng and Lu Shaohui glanced at each other, and fell into deep thought, the common people are the most direct victims of the war, especially the common people in this area during this period, because the logistics support of the Japanese army cannot keep up, most of their food is looted by the local people, these ordinary people are some poor people, they have a home but can't go back, and even their families are ruined.
According to Wang Feiyan, Feiyunzhai has hoarded some food, but it is beyond the power to relieve so many refugees. But seeing that they didn't care, Liu Changfeng couldn't do it anyway. Liu Changfeng thought again that his troops had to confront the Japanese, and it was obviously not enough to rely on these people at the moment, rather than this, it was better to recruit the young and middle-aged refugees to join the army, they had a personal experience of the pain brought to them by the war, and they undoubtedly hated the Japanese to the core, and after their own training, they might become a brave and good fighting force.
Having made up his mind, Liu Changfeng pondered for a moment and asked; ''Delphinium, is there any place to buy food around here?''
Wang Feiyan naturally knew what Liu Changfeng wanted to do, and said after thinking about it; "Yes, there is, but the road is a bit long, and the price of food is frighteningly high. ‘’
"That's good, it doesn't matter if it's far away, when we were cleaning up the battlefield, we also found a lot of money and things from the Japanese devils, and after accumulation, the amount is also very considerable, let's use this money to buy food, as for the refugees outside Feiyun Village, let them in, what do you think?" Liu Changfeng said in a deep voice.
Liu Changfeng consulted Wang Feiyan's opinion in a consultative tone, showing his respect for Wang Feiyan, Wang Feiyan couldn't help but be slightly moved in his heart, and was even more determined in his choice, and said without hesitation; "Okay, no problem, it's up to me to buy food, and as for how to appease those refugees, you should go out yourself." ‘’
''Okay, then it's decided, Lao Lu, let's go and see, brothers, gather troops and prepare to meet those refugees.'' Liu Changfeng immediately stood up and said loudly.
Everyone walked out of the Feiyun Cave, according to Liu Changfeng's order, except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else stood in a queue, with a mighty military posture to welcome the arrival of the refugees, although everyone did not know why Liu Changfeng did this, but they all did it one by one, and even Lian Yi pulled his troops out to strengthen his momentum.
In the huge valley outside the Feiyun Cave, although the cold wind was howling and the snowflakes were flying, there were still six or seven hundred heavily armed soldiers, who were standing tall and in good spirits.
At Liu Changfeng's behest, Deng Fei walked over with a large group of refugees from outside Feiyun Village and stopped in front of Liu Changfeng.
''Report to the commander-in-chief, fellows bring it, please instruct. Deng Feili saluted and said loudly.
''Very good, get in the ranks. Liu Changfeng shouted loudly, and then his eyes fell on the refugees, these refugees are men, women, and children, among which young and middle-aged people account for a large majority, and the total number is two or three thousand, and the black is oppressive.
The refugees looked at the people in front of them, who were fully armed and loaded with guns, and they couldn't help but look at each other, with different expressions on their faces, not knowing how they were going to treat themselves and others, and some of them were even thinking in their hearts, they knew that they were bandits, and they were blindfolded by lard, and they obediently threw themselves into the net, and immediately regretted it.
