Yin Chengfu didn't know why, why could the stones make the brigade commander excited like this?

Of course, they didn't understand the plan in Wu Xiaoliang's heart, this stone is the foundation of the city that will rise here in the future, but all the people present did not realize that this was a milestone-like moment. A hundred years later, the vicissitudes of life have changed dramatically, and it has also become a freedom square, where tourists are weaving, and there are countless people taking pictures, but the only thing that remains unchanged is this stone, which carries the hope and efforts of a whole generation.

The repair work was not completed until it was completely dark, but it was still able to block the wind and snow, so Wu Xiaoliang ordered all the troops to squeeze into the repaired shed, leaving two platoons to take turns to be on duty at night.

On the second day, Wu Xiaoliang gathered his troops next to the big rock he had erected last night and announced a decision that everyone was stunned by.

"Everyone must know that this land under our feet has belonged to us China since ancient times, and the incompetence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty allowed Tsarist Russia to steal it, and now that we have returned, there is a long way to go to recover the homeland, so only the garrison is far from enough, but also the people, only with the support of the broad masses of the people, we can achieve the final victory, so I declare that from today onwards, we will build a city here, a city that belongs entirely to the Chinese,"

After a few seconds of stunnedness, there was a burst of applause.

Next, the preparatory committee for the construction of the city was established, Wu Xiaoliang concurrently served as the director, Yin Chengfu and Wang Huaishi were the deputy directors, and the former section chiefs of the Frontier Defense Preparatory Office Qian Mingjun were completely excluded from the core of power.

The naming of the city was discussed several times by Wu Xiaoliang:

"Okay, it's called Suidong, the east of Suifenhe, this name is simple and domineering."

Regarding the mayoral candidate, Yin Chengfu said: "It is safer for me to appoint a non-military officer. Yin Chengfu is very safe in this intention, the city is just starting to build, there must be a lot of work involved, so there must be a competent full-time staff to preside over the daily work.

Wu Xiaoliang immediately agreed with him: "Okay, I think Brother Buchuan will be the first mayor of Suidong City." ”

Wang Huaishi quipped: "I think the village chief is about the same!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and after that, the name of the village chief spread among the army, and both officers and soldiers privately called him Wang Village Chief. When Wang Huaishi heard about it, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you say too much, you will lose!" Since then, every time there is a meeting, it really cherishes words like gold, and it has fallen into a reputation for being cautious and serious.

After the name of Suidong was named, Wu Xiaoliang also changed the name of the Suifenhe Security Army to the Suidong Frontier Army to encourage morale.

Because it was the cold winter season, it was impossible to carry out construction, so the daily task of nearly 1,000 people in the Suidong Military Headquarters was only to renovate the field and build fortifications. Especially the fortifications, they are deep in the enemy's territory, the perimeter is complex, bandits, Soviet Russian guerrillas, and the White Russian army are not fuel-efficient lamps, so consolidating the base area is the most important thing.

The night in the northeast is extremely cold, most of the soldiers of Wu Xiaoliang's department are from the south, there is no accurate concept of the severe cold, the protection is very inadequate, only a few days, more than ten people have been frostbitten, and the feet of the Yan zhòng people are necrotic. However, the Suifenhe Public Security Army was in an extremely bad environment, lacking medical treatment and medicine, and the medical staff were insufficient, and the wounded and sick could not receive good and timely treatment at all, so Wu Xiaoliang had no choice but to send someone to escort the seriously wounded to Fengtian.

For a large number of non-combat attrition that occurred on the first day. Wu Xiaoliang had a great headache, and he ordered a special study class on cold and frost prevention, with Ma Kaishan as a teacher, and in his spare time after work, he taught how to better protect oneself under the severe cold, so as to prevent the recurrence of large-scale frostbite.

The merchant Ma Kaishan runs in the old forests on the Sino-Russian border all the year round, and has its own set of rules and regulations for cold protection and survival in the wild in the harsh winter. Now Brigade Commander Wu asked him to serve as the instructor of the study class, he was complacent, and he was a little uneasy, afraid that these soldiers and officers would embarrass themselves, and unexpectedly the soldiers not only did not make a moth, but also had a very respectful attitude, saluted when they met, and said that they would call teachers and sir, which flattered him, and then he was faintly proud, how did he know that these soldiers were not ordinary Qiu Baxing Army, they were all patriotic young people in major schools in Beijing before joining the army, and it is needless to say that they respect teachers.

Wu Xiaoliang was very satisfied with Ma Kaishan, and with his experience, the soldiers not only improved their self-protection ability, but also improved their deficiencies in various construction processes. He was immediately praised at the commendation meeting on the seventh day of camping.

After Ma Kaishan was praised, he became more active in making suggestions, and during the routine evening summary meeting, he said:

"Brigade commander, the villain should not build a wooden fence around the camp first, but should replace it with a snow wall."

Wu Xiaoliang also felt that his eyes lit up when he heard it, this was indeed a good idea, to encourage him to continue.

"Old Ma still has a very good idea, just tell it." Over the years, as he became more familiar with Ma Kaishan, he felt that calling Lao Ma could bring him closer to him.

"It's still a harsh winter, and the wooden fence has to be planted in the snow, and when the snow clears, it has to be repaired, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Again, the heavy snow will have to wait until the end of April, and in these two months, we can use snow to make walls, saving time and effort......"

Ma Kaishan was verbose, but everyone still understood what he meant, this is indeed a good idea, eighty kilometers away is a whole brigade of White Russian garrison, must do their best to build effective fortifications, in a few days they get the news that the Beiyang Army has entered the White Stone Mat, they will inevitably take action, and then there will inevitably be a fierce battle.

However, under the current work intensity, all combatants and non-combatants are working at a high capacity, and the consumption of materials has intensified, and most of the necessities of life such as food and medicine have been consumed. Since it was the first time to enter the Russian border, all the supplies had to be transferred from Dongning, and the military supplies that had been agreed in advance should have arrived as early as yesterday, but it was already evening but there was still no rest.

Wu Xiaoliang was faintly worried, but he couldn't lightly talk about this worry and discuss it with everyone, his slightest change in sentiment could affect the morale of the entire army.

Wang Huaishi has recently been overwhelmed by the allocation of various materials, especially grain, especially since yesterday, there has been a situation of overstretching, if the materials do not arrive, the consequences will be unimaginable, so he raised Wu Xiaoliang's worries: "Brigade commander, if the grain is not transported again, I will have no food to adjust here." ”

Ma Kaishan heard that there was a faint ominous premonition in his heart, but when he saw Wu Xiaoliang's gloomy face, his mouth opened and finally he didn't speak.

Wu Xiaoliang was of course anxious, but he couldn't express himself, so he had to order the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the office in Dongning, urging him to speed up the transportation of military postures.

The guard suddenly walked into the conference room, walked quickly to Wu Xiaoliang's side and whispered a few words, he was shocked. On the side, Yin Chengfu's ears were pointed, and when he heard what the guards said, he blurted out:

"What? Military funds were robbed by bandits? ”
