Devil's Army

Soon it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and Huilang and Leng Feng went to pick up Mr. Zheng and the reporters to see the current situation in Chaoyang County first.

Chaoyang County had just been devastated by war, and many houses had collapsed. Soldiers from the First Army were helping the people move useful items out of their houses and clearing away the broken bricks and tiles.

Reporters quickly took photos from multiple angles of soldiers helping the people move things and clean up bricks and tiles. This was the best photo to promote the idea that their army and the people were one family.

Leng Feng and his men saw it but did not stop it, because their army has always regarded the interests of the people as the highest interests.

The Nanjing government reporters thought that it was good enough for soldiers not to bully the people, so they would never help the people. So they thought that these soldiers helping the people clean up the collapsed houses was just an occasional action, so they quickly took photos.

Who knew that as they walked along, they saw soldiers helping the people clean up their houses and move things. The soldiers and the people lived in harmony.

Then Gray Wolf brought the reporters to Fuxin City.

After nearly half a month of reconstruction and development, Fuxin no longer has the smell of war. The collapsed houses have been rebuilt, and the holes and dents left by bombs have been filled.

The cries of hawkers on the street and the bargaining of ordinary people who buy things can be heard one after another.

Ordinary people who have nothing to do gather together to chat, or lie outside on benches to bask in the warm winter sun.

There is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere here, and you can't tell that this place was devastated by war not long ago.

Only in the inconspicuous corners, the walls blackened by gunpowder smoke silently told reporters about the war that had taken place not long ago.

After seeing this, Mr. Zheng couldn't help but sigh to Leng Feng: "Captain Leng, your army is really efficient. It's only been about half a month since the end of the battle, and the place is already in good order. There is no trace of the destruction of the war at all."

Our troops are weak and we must stabilize the rear as soon as possible so that we can withdraw more soldiers to the front line to fight the Japanese.

"I heard that your army fights with the Japanese almost every month, and the casualties of the troops must be heavy."

"It's not almost but definitely. Moreover, in some months we had not just one battle with the Japanese but several. Does the Nanjing government have any subsidies of ammunition and other strategic resources?" Gray Wolf took over the topic and asked.

"I will try my best to apply for this from the government when I return, but if it cannot be reimbursed immediately, you should also understand the government, which is in a very difficult situation right now."

Gray Wolf snorted and stopped talking. Who doesn't know how to do Tai Chi? He knows how to fool people better than anyone else.

Some reporters looked at Leng Feng with admiration. It was not an ordinary person to lead such a team. At least the team led by their leader could not do this. Of course, these words could not be said.

At this time, a patrol team marched past the reporter in uniform steps.

Suddenly, a man carrying a basket in the distance came running after them, shouting, “Stop! Don’t go! Don’t go!”

The reporters immediately took out their cameras and wanted to take pictures of Yijun's embarrassing behavior.

The patrol stopped and stood there.

The civilian caught up with the patrol, grabbed the last patrolman by the clothes, handed him the egg and said, "You must accept it."

"My fellow villagers, our army has regulations that we cannot take anything from the masses. I took your eggs, which is a violation of discipline and I will be punished." The patrolman said to the people.

But the people did not listen to the patrolman and insisted that he take the basket of eggs.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Leng Feng and the reporters came over.

"Hello, Commander Leng!" When the patrol soldier saw Leng Feng coming over, he quickly raised his hand and saluted.

After Leng Feng returned the salute to the patrolman, he asked the old man, "Old fellow, what happened?"

"Oh, you are their superior, then you must make him accept my basket of eggs."

"You tell me what happened first?"

"That day we were cleaning up a house that had collapsed after being bombed by the Japanese. The house was not solid and collapsed, and I was buried under the mud. He dug me out with his bare hands. You can see that his fingers were still wrapped in gauze. After he dug me out, he sent me to the military hospital. After checking, the military hospital said that I was rescued in time and nothing was wrong. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago. Do you think he should have taken my life?"

"He saved you out of duty. He cannot take your eggs. It is a hard rule in our army. If he takes your eggs, he will be dismissed from the army immediately."

"Is it so serious?" The people were troubled.

"Well, you keep this dollar, and I'll buy these eggs for them. Just consider them as a token of your appreciation. Is that ok?"

"No, no, how can I take your money?"

Leng Feng forced a dollar into the commoner's hand and said, "Either you take the money and I'll give them this basket of eggs, or you take the eggs away."

The common people were in a dilemma holding that piece of money and didn't know what to do.

Leng Feng handed the basket of eggs to the soldier without thinking twice and said, "It's a snack at noon. Return the basket to the people when you have time."

"Yes, thank you, Commander!"

The reporters originally wanted to film Yijun's embarrassing behavior, but ended up capturing this heartwarming scene.

But Mr. Zheng next to him felt very uncomfortable listening to it.
