The base chosen by Wang Chun was surrounded by Taihang Mountains in the east and Luliang Mountains in the west. The area belonged to the Guancen Mountain area in the later Shuozhou City.

This is a barren mountainous area with not many densely populated towns and the land productivity is very low.

Therefore, neither the Japanese nor the preserved fruits paid much attention to this place. Only the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army established a base nearby.

However, they relied on the Daqing Mountains and northwestern Shanxi as their bases, mainly in the northwest of Shanxi Province and the southeast of Suiyuan.

Activities in the area were not very active, and the sudden influx of tens of thousands of people made the poor people in this barren area think that the sky was falling.

Some people hid the few grains they had at home for fear that they would be snatched away by these outsiders.

I waited anxiously at home for several days, but no one came into the village to steal food.

Instead, I received recruitment news. For one day's work, three meals would be provided, and also a pound of grain. Note that it was fine grain, not coarse grain.

Fortunately, summer is about to begin. If it were winter, Wang Chun would have to worry about accommodation for tens of thousands of people.

It is definitely unrealistic to grow rice and wheat on such mountains as the land is too barren. However, Wang Chun exchanged sweet potatoes from the system, which were high-yield sweet potatoes blessed by the system.

At the same time, there are high-yield grains such as corn produced by the system. Now we should solve the problem of having enough food first. As for eating well and having a balanced nutrition, we are not considering it for the time being.

The entire Guancenshan base is like a large construction site, with a large number of local people working together with these outsiders every day.

In the morning, there are yellow steamed buns and hot porridge, at noon there is rice or steamed buns, and each person can also have a bowl of broth with pork and other vegetables.

The white fat, as thick as a finger, was eaten by the people who could not eat meat once a year. Their mouths were full of oil and their wrinkled old faces were filled with all kinds of smiles.

Some people even save the steamed buns that they cannot finish or are reluctant to eat and bring them back to their families in the evening.

If it weren't for the hot weather that would have spoiled the broth by evening, and if they hadn't been unable to take the aluminum lunch boxes distributed from the construction site back home, they would have taken them home to let their children taste them.

More and more local people joined the construction army, and military doctors also provided free treatment to sick civilians.

This allowed the National Salvation Army, a foreign force, to quickly integrate into the local area. The local poor people had never encountered such officers and soldiers before.

They naturally support such troops from the bottom of their hearts, even though they are not local people here.

At the same time, some refugees also came here in groups of three or two, and the Eighth Route Army also sent a medical team to the Guancenshan base.

Wang Chun had enough medicines, but they did not have enough medical workers. As soon as the Eighth Route Army Headquarters learned the news, it organized a 60-person medical team to go to Guancen Mountain.

"Welcome! Welcome everyone! On behalf of the soldiers and civilians of our entire Guancen Mountain base, I would like to thank you all for your selfless dedication for coming to Guancen Mountain at this time!"

Wang Chun stepped forward and held the hands of the medical team leader Feng Changqing. The man in front of him was a thin middle-aged man with a pair of glasses whose frames were broken and tied with ropes.

You can tell at first glance that he is malnourished, and he also has very heavy dark circles under his eyes probably due to long-term overwork.

Behind him were dozens of young men and women in Eighth Route Army uniforms. Their faces were filled with youth and their eyes were different from those of most Chinese people of that era.

There is light and faith in their eyes. It is because of the selfless dedication of these old predecessors that the prosperous China of later generations was created.

Since they came to support him, Wang Chun naturally did his best and handed over to them a newly built three-story reinforced concrete building.

It was originally planned to be the headquarters of the National Salvation Army. Now with the arrival of these people, Wang Chun decided to build it into the first modern hospital of the National Salvation Army.

The weather was hot and in order to take better care of these seniors, Wang Chun exchanged eight gasoline generators and provided electricity to the entire hospital, which was named the First Military Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.

Although a thermal power plant had begun construction under the guidance of Eighth Route Army experts, it would take another three months before it was completed.

Now that the hospital has no electricity, some of the exchanged instruments cannot be used, and it is also very troublesome that there is no lighting in the operating room.

The entire First Military Hospital was the first place in the Guancenshan base to have electricity, and Wang Chun also equipped the dormitories of these medical workers with electric fans.

Electric fans are rare in this era. Even in developed countries in Europe and the United States, not every household has one.

Looking at the rich and delicious food every day, the electric fans that can blow cool air, and many unheard-of snacks and drinks.

This made the medical team members feel very embarrassed. They wanted to refuse but the other party would never agree.

Commander Wang also provided them with many professional medical books and sufficient medicines and equipment.

Several of them are doctors who have studied abroad and returned to China. They can guarantee that some medicines are not available even in foreign countries, especially some antibiotics.

In less than a month, almost all the members of the medical team gained weight, and some girls were dissatisfied and shouted that they wanted to settle the score with Commander Wang.

Among them, several young nurses were the loudest, because they were old acquaintances of Wang Chun, including the female student named Jiang Wei who was frightened unconscious by Wang Chun half a year ago.

They shouted that Wang Chun should give them back their former slim figures, and now he had spoiled their appetites. How would they live if he left them in the future?

As a result, Wang Chun doesn’t dare to show up in the hospital casually now, for fear of being caught by these little girls. He is really troubled. At that time, he just wanted to save you. His acting was more realistic.

Who knew you were so frightened? I am your savior. How can I chase after my savior to settle the score every day?

Dean Feng Changqing did not pay much attention to these young people below, as they were all young people who had just left university.

What's wrong with being more lively? This is what young people should have. Although Commander Wang is already a general commanding tens of thousands of troops, he is only in his twenties after all.

The National Salvation Army now has a formal organization, the 78th Army of the National Army, although the government gave it a second-class army with two divisions and one brigade.

But in reality, the 78th Army didn't care about these at all. They still called themselves the National Salvation Army internally.

With the completion of the first wave of construction work at the base, some of the basic structures have been completed, and the second phase will not begin until the weather is cooler.

The three divisions of the Japanese army finally got rid of the harassment of the National Army and returned to Shanxi Province, but they were exhausted and in urgent need of rest.

In addition to the changes in the top leadership of the First Army, the new commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu, has just arrived, and he also needs to prioritize control of the First Army.

So for a while no one cared about Wang Chun's army, and they seemed to have disappeared from the Japanese army's sight.

However, throughout the country, propaganda about the National Army's 78th Army (National Salvation Army) was still continuing, especially since Wang Chun accepted Guo Fu's appointment. Guo Fu naturally needed to publicize the impressive achievements of his army.

Almost most Chinese people know Wang Chun and the impressive achievements of the 78th Army.

Because the task was not triggered, there is no 14-day limit this time (only 14 days of valid experience will be given after completing the task).

This gave Wang Chun the confidence to start large-scale construction. Otherwise, he would not have dared to make such a big fuss about construction relying only on the attention gained in fourteen days.
