When Li Junhao and others took over the lone military camp, in the military camp next to it, under the order of the military attache of the Italian Consulate General, 700 Italian soldiers could only follow the order and take their own things out of the camp and go to No. 256 Xiaoshadu Road, regardless of whether they had opinions or not; At this time, a company of the advance unit of the 2nd Squadron of the 4th Regiment of the US Navy and Army had already arrived here and quickly took over the barracks, leaving no gaps!

For the officers and soldiers of the Lone Barracks, what happened today was very strange, an American led a team of uniformed policemen suddenly appeared, killed the White Russians who were guarding, took over the management of the Lone Barracks, and assigned them a new task - to repair the runway!

The soldiers hadn't figured out what was going on, but the dozen or so principal officers who had been summoned by Xie Jinyuan for a meeting began to discuss.

Because when it was decided to transfer the first battalion of the 524th Regiment to the Sixing Warehouse, the 88th Division and the 524th Regiment specially strengthened it, so among the 414 people at that time, the proportion of officers was very high.

In addition to the three officers attached to the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jinyuan, Major Zhibiao, deputy Shangguan of the regiment, and Major Yang Ruifu, commander of the first battalion, Lei Xiong, commander of the machine gun company, Tao Xingchun, commander of the first company, Deng Ying, commander of the second company, Shi Meihao, commander of the third company, and 12 officers, including combat staff officers Tang Di, Wan Lianqing, Fu Huashu, Hu Pingsan, Fan Cheng, Li Dongxuan, Wu Zude, and Wang Bingsan, were all captains and officers, and there were even more lieutenants, second lieutenants, and warrant officers.

Some officers believed that the United States had always had a good relationship with the Nationalist Government, and that the American, who wore many hats, should have come to help them; The other part of the officers did not trust the foreigners, especially the disarming of the British army, the Italian army and the White Russians after entering the concession, and they believed that the foreigners were forcing them to do hard labor......

The two factions have different views, of course, they can't get any results from the discussion, and in the end, it was Xie Jinyuan, Shangguan Zhibiao, and Yang Ruifu who decided to take a look first.

——

At about nine o'clock, Wen Qiang, who was wearing makeup, came to the Lone Army Camp with a telegram from the headquarters and conveyed the orders of the State Military Commission to Xie Jinyuan and several other major officers, and all the existing 393 officers in the Lone Army were assigned to the management of the US Marine Corps. Lt. Col. Lee Panson.

At this time, Li Junhao, who had changed into a military uniform of a lieutenant colonel of Hailu and land, appeared in front of several people and met them again. Although it is not yet clear what happened, after confirming Wen Qiang's identity and the authenticity of the telegram, several school officers still followed the duty of a soldier and expressed their obedience to orders.

Immediately, several military trucks of the 4th Regiment of the Navy and Army drove into the camp, bringing new training uniforms, military blankets, food, daily necessities and other materials.

Li Junhao beckoned Xie Jinyuan and others to organize the unloading of the truck, and told them that these things were for the officers and soldiers......

At noon, nearly 400 officers and men who had taken a bath and changed their clothes were visibly in good spirits, and more than a dozen people in the cooking squad were happily stewing meat and cooking and steaming rice in a large pot......

Only then did everyone remember what Lieutenant Colonel Pan Sen said about the logistics standards of the US military, and they were both surprised and excited, if this kind of treatment is done every day, how can they still catch strong men, and the common people must not rush to become soldiers!

Li Junhao and his escort team also ate with everyone, and commented in their hearts: too much oil, too much meat, too much salt...... But seeing that the officers and soldiers were eating very happily, his mood improved!

After eating a full meal, the officers and men were full of energy and shouted to repair the runway, but Li Junhao told everyone that they should first recuperate their bodies in the past few days, and it would not be too late to repair the runway after their bodies were repaired.

In the afternoon, 20 doctors and nurses from various hospitals came to the camp to examine the officers and men. Originally, the honorarium had been agreed, but when the police department's car picked up the place, the medical staff found that it was for the officers and soldiers of the lonely military camp to be examined, and they did not need the honorarium at all, and they were enthusiastically busy.

After many years of combat career and nearly two years of captivity, the officers and men were more or less sick and wounded, and the medical personnel who did the examination could not help but shed tears, but the officers and soldiers comforted them in turn.

The engineer detachment transferred by Li Junhao began to repair the dilapidated barracks, and all the officers and men also stepped forward to help, and the first few houses that were repaired were arranged into wards for those officers and soldiers who were more seriously ill to recuperate......

By dark, the house was half repaired and the physical examination was half completed, but some of the officers and men in serious condition had already completed the examination and were placed in the ward.

Li Junhao told the medical staff to use the best treatment and the best medicine, and money is not a problem......

——

That night, all the male medical staff stayed behind, preparing to work overtime for physical examinations and take care of the patients; Li Junhao sent people to send all the female medical staff back to their homes or hospitals, so the fact that they went to check and treat the officers and soldiers of the lonely army camp today was exposed......

Early the next morning, more than 20 hospitals in the Huhai Public Concession and the French Concession sent medical personnel, ranging from a dozen to as many as 30, to the lonely military camp with medical supplies, all of whom were to participate in the examination and treatment of the officers and men, and claimed that all of them were free of charge......

The officers and soldiers were all moved, but there are too many doctors and nurses, and they are all about to be one-on-one!

The situation at the scene was a little chaotic, and Sergeant Jackie Siegel, who was left by Li Junhao to coordinate the Navy and the bodyguard of the officers and soldiers of the lone army camp (just promoted), hurriedly found Xie Jinyuan, and the two came forward together to persuade the medical staff who were a little excited, and finally after discussion, only forty people were left to continue to examine and treat the officers and soldiers, and the others left after condolences.

After that, more and more citizens came here to visit and comfort the officers and soldiers of the lonely military camp, and sent a large number of condolences such as food, clothing, and daily necessities, which were piled up in the camp!

The American marines who were responsible for maintaining order at the scene originally respected these outstanding soldiers who had fought bloody battles with the Japanese, and after the enthusiasm of the medical staff and civilians, they realized the status of these soldiers in the hearts of the Chinese - which laid a good foundation for the cooperation between the two sides in the future.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, when Li Junhao came here again, the entire lone barracks had a new look, and the spirit of the people was extremely invigorated, and they even strongly demanded that the sappers provide shovels, pickaxes, and other tools, and they were about to start building the runway!

Li Junhao came forward in person, claiming that there was a complete engineering plan, and then it would be arranged by the sappers, and it was important for everyone to recuperate first......

However, at the strong request of the officers and soldiers, he agreed to start work the next day.
