When the cooks followed out of the house, everyone in the shed was speculating about what was going on today, but no one dared to go out to see it.

After they entered their respective kitchens, they were confused and cut green onions, poured oil pancakes, carried buckets of potato stew, cabbage stew, sauerkraut stew, and carried a large pot of fragrant scallion pancakes into their respective sheds.

Looking at the steaming vegetables and the burnt scallion pancakes, the laborers were stupid one by one, and no one did anything for a long time.

It's all so unreal. Even if the early years are good, it is difficult to eat scallion pancakes luxuriously! Not to mention iron, this is on the same mine as the palace of Hades.

"Oh yes! Damn it, hang it up alive!! ”

A laborer cursed, reached out and grabbed a piece of oil cake, rolled it and took a bite of it, and before he could swallow it, he scooped up a piece of meat with a large spoon in a wooden barrel and filled it into his mouth.

"Delicious ......"

He mumbled, stretched his neck and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"! Even if you die, be a full ghost!! ”

Another laborer stretched out his dark hand, grabbed the oil cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

At this moment, there was an immediate uproar in the shed. The laborers did not speak, and there was only one sound in the room under the dim horseshoe lamp, that is, the same as the movement of pigs when they grabbed food, the sound of humming, chirping, chewing, and enjoying became the main theme in the shed.

While he was eating desperately, the door of a shed was suddenly opened.

The room fell silent for a moment, and everyone was staring at the doorway with bulging cheeks.

The man at the door didn't enter the house, he stood directly outside the door and said, "I'll go to the house to carry the soup in a while, the little devil's seaweed soup." ”

"And soup ......"

An uncanny word popped up in the minds of the laborers.

The man was about to close the door after speaking, and he suddenly saw a dark face with bulging cheeks under the horseshoe lamp, so he stopped and said: "Eat slowly, there will be tomorrow, take care of enough, don't break the intestines, and no one will collect your corpse when the time comes." ”

"Gollum ......"

The man's voice fell, and a clear swallowing sound sounded in the shed, apparently the moment the door opened, most of the food had been swallowed.

As they closed it, the shed remained silent. The workers are completely confused, what are the little devils doing?

"Lao Xing, you see that he is not wearing the military uniform of a little devil, with all the bells and whistles."

The first voice sounded, and everyone began to talk about it.

"That's right! He still has a black mouth accent. ”

"They're not Japanese devils."

"When I cook, I give whatever I want, I take it myself, and the room is full of things that can only be eaten by little devils."

A miner shook his hand, and when everyone's voice was quiet, he whispered: "Lao Xing, go and take a look, your eyes are poisonous, see what's going on." ”

"Okay, I'll take a look." The miner named Lao Xing put down the oil cake in his hand, said that, got up and opened the door and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out, his gaze fell first on the bunkers in the distance. The moment his gaze was realized, his heart was clear. The bunker was still lit, but the weapons of mass destruction were gone. There was no one watching here, only people constantly busy in the distance.

What's going on?

Lao Xing was puzzled, so he was ready to take two more steps to see if there was really no one watching.

Before he could lift his feet, the guys on the side opened, and then a thick Liaoning accent shouted: "Gentlemen, come in and carry the soup yourself, use the bucket for vegetables, the bucket is not enough!" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Lao Xing agreed, took two steps forward, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, let me ask about something, ...... are you?"

"Don't be a sir, I'm just a cook, we are the anti-Manchurian anti-Japanese advance army, and we will warm the house after drinking the soup, so don't run away without anything."

"Anti-Manchu anti-Japanese Chinese advance army?"

Lao Xing was taken aback after repeating it, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, ...... that Taijun?"

The chubby veteran of the Northeast Army said with a grin: "It's all said, don't sir, how awkward, the little devil you said, all the hell is going to burn the old man's head." When you are full, warm the house, put your heart in your stomach, and sleep peacefully. ”

"Both...... No ......."

Lao Xing was stunned by this sudden surprise and muttered.

As Lao Xing returned to the shed, the news that the Japanese devil was gone quickly spread to more than two dozen sheds. Eat and drink enough, the earth fire dragon is hot, and even the skylight has to be opened to breathe, but everyone has no intention of sleeping, standing boldly at the door of the shed, looking at the busy figures in the distance, as if in another world.

They were rescued! Out of the sea of suffering!

That's what everyone in the shed is saying. But everyone was not in a mess, and they all stayed quietly in their area.

A comfortable night's sleep ended with the neighing of war horses. The laborers got up early, ate the freshly baked oil cakes, drank the soup stewed with sea vegetables from last night's cakes, and discussed the information they had received.

"I woke up in the middle of the night last night, you don't know what to do, there are a lot of people over there! Old nose! A young student who wiped his face fairly clean with snow exaggerated and gestured.

"This is our team, and people can be harmonious."

"Yes, just say that there are a lot of people over there, don't walk around and make trouble, no one cares about us, a few of us are on the edge of the turret!"

What kind of team is this? They actually quietly broke through the heavily defended military camp and cage, and they didn't even hear the sound of gunfire, they were so close that they didn't even hear the sound of battle, and the most important thing was that they didn't have the habits of the warlord team, and they were very kind.

Everyone talked in a whisper, and slowly, they stopped talking. Only then did they remember that once the Japanese army came back, they would ......

"Lao Xing, you go and ask, see if we can lead the army in their team and pay ......."

Several veterans of the Northeast Army looked expectantly at Lao Xing, who seemed to be very prestigious.

"Good! I'll ask! ”

Lao Xing stood up without hesitation, came to the door in a few steps, pondered for a while, and walked directly to the turret at the gate of the shed.

"Sir, I want to ask something, are you fighting devils?" Lao Xing stood straight in front of a hunter who followed the communication soldiers, showing his military temperament.

The hunter glanced at Lao Xing from top to bottom in surprise, and said, "Yes, we are fighting devils, and we have killed tens of thousands!" ”

"Are you still recruiting? What age group are recruited? ”

"Move!"

The hunter looked at Lao Xing, who was not squinting, and said: "As long as we are all panting, we can't carry guns and fight devils, we can always cook and feed the horses, and no matter how bad it is, we can also burn the fire and chop wood for the camp." ”

"Huh!?"

Lao Xing was stunned. He didn't expect that such a strong team on the other side would recruit any soldiers, which was a bit of a ragged thing.

"You don't have to doubt that as long as it is Chinese, as long as it fights devils and does not betray the nation, this team will recruit."

Lao Xing turned his head in surprise, and he saw a soldier who smelled of iron and blood. Right! It's a soldier! This feeling can only be felt by those who have been in the army for a long time, experienced life and death, and experienced the baptism of war.

"Captain!"

The Orion stood upright and saluted a standard military salute.

"Take a break!"

Dong Ku waved his hand and said: "Third regiment leader, you gather the civilian personnel of your regiment, and today you have to arrange the affairs of these miners, go to Shunzi to lead the ocean, and each person who walks three oceans as the travel fee, and leave the files well." ”

"Yes!"

The hunter turned and walked away.

Lao Xing didn't move, he was very strange, a regiment commander was not small, but he called him the captain in a regular manner, could it be a wing?

"Veteran, take a break!"

Just when his mind was full of thoughts and analysis, Dong Ku spoke.

Lao Xing's eyes do not squint, and he crosses his legs and backs his hands.

Dong Ku looked at Lao Xing and said in a deep voice: "Veteran, I don't care if you are Zhang Shuai's subordinate or Ma Shuai's subordinate, as long as you still think about resisting Japan, thinking about fighting small Japan, thinking about recovering lost territory, and thinking about shame, the Huaxia Advance Army will welcome you." ”

"It's sir! I want to resist Japan, I want to be ashamed, we are not a bad seed! ”

Lao Xing shouted loudly.

"Good!"

Dong Ku said with satisfaction: "It can be seen that you have a good military education, how many brothers are there here?" ”

"Report sir, there are three thousand four hundred and twelve!"

"Oh?"

Dong Ku looked at Lao Xing with interest. can clearly know how many people are still in the Dao, obviously this Lao Xing is a caring person.

"Veteran, there is no actual position to join the recruit company, but I will assign all the brothers here to you, and temporarily set up an independent brigade." Dong Ku looked at Lao Xing and said solemnly, "From now on, you are the brigade commander, your brother has no recruit period, he directly enters the battle and receives his salary directly, can you command?" ”

"Yes!"

Lao Xing's blood surged, and he roared loudly: "Sir, Xingyuan is the brigade commander in the Northeast Army, although most of the brothers here are not my subordinates, but we have been together for more than a year, give me a month, I can make them elite soldiers!" ”

"Xingyuan?"

Dong Ku looked at the veteran and repeated.

"Here! Sir! ”

Dong Ku waved his hand and ordered: "Xingyuan listens to the order!" Now you gather all the brothers of the Northeast Army, and the brothers who have touched the guns and received salaries, and cooperate with the commander of the third regiment to do a good job of registering information and receiving guns, from now on, you will temporarily become the commander of the first independent brigade of the Chinese Advance Army! ”

"Yes! Sir! Give me a month and I can take off my hat temporarily! ”

"Good! I'm sure you can do it! ”

Dong Ku nodded with satisfaction.

When Xing Yuan walked to the shed, he no longer shrank his neck and hands, his back was straight, and he entered the shed area with extremely standard steps.

Soon, the total number of laborers in the shack was counted, and to Dong Ku's surprise, there were more than 8,000 laborers here.

With the propaganda, the laborers who had broken free from the death line were willing to join the advance army, regardless of their age. As for the reason, in this season of heavy snow and mountain closure, even if they want to go home, it is very difficult for one or two hundred kilometers, and besides, they do not have a good citizen certificate, even if they return to Jixi, Mishan, and Hulin, they will still be caught by the Japanese, and there is only one way to catch them, and that is death. Anyway, it's all death, follow the advance army, get weapons, maybe there is a way to live. At the very least, you can eat scallion pancakes.

Dong Ku didn't worry too much about these problems, and after arranging these, he began to call for support by radio according to the telecommunications records he found.

Soon, the telegram that the Qitaihe mining area was attacked by tens of thousands of enemies reached the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

Unable to contact the Third Division, unable to contact all the reinforcements, 'Ueda Kenkichi' was wandering around the headquarters like ants on a hot pot, and had not slept for two days, and after receiving a telegram from Qitaihe asking for help, he urgently ordered the 11th Division, which had just arrived in Harbin from Qiqihar, to rush to the Qitai River, join the Sixth Division on the road, break through the heavy snow, rush to the Mudanjiang River, and reinforce the Qitai River. The reinforcements who rushed to Shuangyashan were ordered to continue to reinforce Baoqing. Jiamusi and Huanan then dispatched brigades and regiments to rush to Qitai River.

At the same time, he ordered the four puppet Manchurian divisions in Xinjing plus the 12th Division to rush to Harbin to prepare for a decisive battle to encircle and annihilate the enemy's main force. The newly formed 16th Division and the 9th veteran elite division that had just arrived in Fengtian rushed to Heilongjiang, striving to pull out the flesh thorns of this Soviet Russian squad in one fell swoop!

The army began to assemble in the small field of projectiles in the heavy snow. The Great War will also take place there.
