After Marshal Pershing's troops retreated, instead of immediately occupying the eastern shore of Wudalianhu, the Chinese army used local insecurity as an excuse to send troops to clear up the occupied areas, while the front-line troops only held on to their own territory and ignored the wounded and sick on the other side of the lake, citing the lack of troops.

It was not useless for Su Zhizhen to send troops to clear the occupied area, and after taking control of the growing territory of the Boston Empire, the 20 million Bostonians living on this land became a big problem. For a long time, within the Boston Empire, the Chinese Empire was a country that was advertised as an evil state, an enemy of the Boston Empire, and their army was a group of crazy people who killed people and plundered everywhere without blinking.

People's ideology is difficult to change in a short period of time, and for these aliens, Su Zhizhen does not want to change their thinking. The two Wehrmacht armies sent out to clear the area split into two routes, and along the way they gathered all the Boston residents and gathered them together to form a concentration camp.

Fang Ruijun also attached great importance to the clean-up work, and he specially transferred the recruits of the six group armies who had not yet completed training from China to the Boston Empire. These recruits were not well trained, and it would be difficult to go into battle, but if they were to maintain law and order in the rear, they would be able to take care of the concentration camps.

The Wehrmacht, having gathered the Bostonians, placed them on the guard of the reserves, making it much less likely that the Bostonians would resist. The guerrillas that had already been formed lacked a popular base, and not only did they find it difficult to evade the purge but also became more and more difficult to obtain provisions.

The partisans who surrendered were specially gathered, who were to engage in very dangerous mining work during their captivity, and the ordinary Bostonians who entered the concentration camps were naturally not idle. After providing a large amount of seeds and tools at home, these people began to cultivate arable land around the concentration camps and grow food in large quantities under the supervision of reserve soldiers.

The vast plains of the vast plains that stretched far as the eye could see in the northern part of the Boston Empire were ideal for growing grain and vegetables, and under the guidance of some rural soldiers in the Wehrmacht, grain cultivation soon began without a hitch. The food grown would not only feed themselves, but also feed the troops in the Chicago Industrial District and at the front.

For these ordinary people, the Chinese Empire still takes care of them quite a lot, and although their daily work is tiring, they will not be abused by the soldiers of the Chinese Army. Their accommodation is also quite comfortable, and daily necessities such as clothes and bedding are distributed every year.

After the situation stabilized, in addition to growing food, these camps also raised all kinds of livestock, which made Bostonians have meat to eat during the festival, and even some Chinese soldiers who could cook would teach them how to make delicious Chinese food, which greatly improved the impression of Bostonians of the Chinese Empire, and they began to cooperate with the supervision of the Chinese army.

For a long time, the Boston Empire has attached great importance to heavy industry, and has not paid much attention to light industry and agriculture related to people's livelihood, which has caused the Boston Empire to be quite powerful, but the life of its domestic people is not good, especially the inefficiency of food production, so that many people are in a state of hunger.

When these people were sent to the concentration camps, they were still somewhat resistant, but soon they found that the crops they had begun to grow were growing very fast, and there was a good harvest of grain, which was absolutely impossible before, and soon they were well fed, and the quality of life was gradually improving, and even with the permission and support of the Wehrmacht, some light industry workshops were established, and people were eating better and dressing more and more decently.

The Bostonians who lived here suddenly found that they were living better than before in the camp, except that they did not have the freedom to leave the camp. After the quality of life improved, how many people would worry about illusory ideals and so-called world affairs, so the situation in the occupied areas was quickly stabilized.

The establishment of the concentration camp was still in progress, and the stability of the Boston people was also a matter of hindsight, and Su Zhizhen was finally ready to move on at this time, and it was already two months after Marshal Pershing's retreat.

It was already December at the end of the year, and the temperature in the north of Boston, near the cold zone, had plummeted, and the outside temperature soon reached below -10 degrees. Although the temperature here is far from the winter in the north of the Cossack Empire and the Chinese Empire, the soldiers who fought there were soldiers who had lived in the north for a long time, and they were quite accustomed to the low temperatures of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius.

The soldiers who entered the Boston Empire were different, as they were drawn from the well-nourished military districts, and a large proportion of the soldiers were from the South. In the south, the temperature is basically above zero in winter, so when they are at minus 10 degrees, they will feel very cold.

Knowing that most of the soldiers were not accustomed to the winter temperatures, Su Zhizhen decided to avoid this situation as much as possible, and he wanted to cross the Wudalianhu area before the harsh winter arrived, and try to control some territory, especially the intact urban areas, so that when the climate really became cold, the troops could spend the winter in the sturdy and warm barracks. Taking advantage of the fact that the lake had not yet frozen, the Chinese army dispatched all the transport ships, and under the cover of the Baishan-class river gunboats, which had reached thirty-seven, rushed to the various landing points and directly occupied the positions and military camps established by the Bostonians.

As the transports approached, the soldiers jumped ashore in quick steps, and they divided into small groups to search for the Bostonian barracks. At this time, the Boston barracks had long been empty, and there was no sound in the entire barracks.

"Didn't you say that a lot of Boston wounded and sick were left behind? How can there be no sound. A soldier looked at the barracks in amazement.

"I guess they picked it up, it seems that there is no one here." Another fighter said.

The first warrior nodded: "It should be so." ”

Although there was not a single figure in sight, the warriors had become accustomed to using various shelters to cover their bodies when marching through enemy-occupied territory. The soldiers who landed in small groups rushed towards the barracks in alternate cover. Kicking the door open, the two warriors who had just spoken dodged into the house, picking up their automatic rifles and looking for the enemy, but they were soon stunned.

In the barracks, there were dead bodies lying all over the place, these corpses had obviously been dead for some time, probably because the temperature in the last two months was relatively low, these corpses did not decompose, but after all, people were dead, after such a long time, they still had some changes. At this time, the skin of these corpses has turned black, and the whole body is shriveled after dehydration, but they still maintain the appearance of their lives, which makes people's scalps tingle when they are vivid.

"Did they die of disease, or did they freeze to death?" One of the warriors asked, stunned.

Another fighter shook his head: "Who knows? It's also possible that they will starve to death, but in any case they are now dead and will never be a threat to us again. ”

When Su Zhizhen received the report, his eyes turned to him: "Save the scene, don't move anyone, let the reporters with the army go over and take more photos." We're going to make a big deal about it, and it's a good opportunity to shake the morale of the Boston military. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Onkers sat in a beautiful Chinese car, his head tilted to look out the window, but his brain was contemplating. The driver was speeding down the highway in a sedan and they were heading towards the temporary marshal's palace at a very fast speed.

At this time in the morning, most of the people were still asleep, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and most of them were ready to go back to sleep after the night shift, but as Marshal Pershing's aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Colonel Ancks had to get up early every day to go to the headquarters to inquire about the night duty, and then return to the marshal's palace so that he could report to Marshal Pershing when he got up.

Lieutenant Colonel Onx was accustomed to this habit of Marshal Pershing, and today he was on his way back from the Marshal's Mansion after going to the headquarters to inquire, and he still had some official documents in his hand that needed to be brought to the marshal.

The sudden roar of a huge motor in the sky was apparently an airplane passing over the city. Lieutenant Colonel Onx poked his head out and carefully identified the planes, his face quickly changing. Although he couldn't see the insignia on the plane because of the distance, he could know the identity of the other party from the four jet engines on the wing.

"It's the Kunpeng 3 bomber, it's the Chinese Air Force, it's going to be hidden, they're going to bomb." Lieutenant Colonel Onx shouted, and hearing his shout, the driver quickly braked. High-end cars like them, which were obviously carried by big people, had always been the key targets of the Chinese Air Force's bombing, so after realizing that it was an enemy plane, the two did not dare to stop longer, and they rushed out of the car and hid on the side of the road.

Looking at the enemy planes that continued to hover in the sky, Lieutenant Colonel Onx was a little surprised. This time, they didn't rush down and drop the bomb at the first time, but flew lower and lower. In the continuous air battle, the Boston Air Force suffered heavy losses, and the air supremacy was gradually controlled by the Chinese Air Force, so the bombers of the Chinese Air Force dared to bomb everywhere with impunity, while the Boston Army could only rely more and more on anti-aircraft artillery with poor interception effect.
