Just like that, everyone discussed and decided on the personnel. At this time, people were simple and selfless, and always wanted to give priority to taking care of those in need.

That night, Village Chief Wu went door to door to notify the people who had agreed to gather at the designated location at 7 o'clock the next morning. Because Platoon Leader Huang specifically said that everyone who went to work would be provided with three meals a day, he also specifically emphasized that they should not eat breakfast.

The next morning, hundreds of people from Dayuan Village arrived at the designated location. Platoon Leader Huang had already prepared all the tools. He first familiarized themselves with the work site and then asked some people to prepare breakfast.

In fact, these tasks are very simple. They just need to bring back a lot of mud, sand and pebbles from the nearby river, fill up some potholes of different sizes on the road, and use some cement in some soft places to make the road suitable for tanks weighing more than ten tons.

Fortunately, we have developed a light tank, which does not have such high requirements for the road surface. If it were a heavy tank weighing dozens of tons, we would have to find a special way to solidify the ground, otherwise we would not be able to go far.

The villagers of Wujia Village are very familiar with filling pits. After all, they were the ones who dug many of the pits in the past in order to prevent the rapid advance of the Japanese mechanized troops.

Now they are trying every possible way to fill the holes they dug before and allow our own mechanized troops to pass through quickly.

Village chief Wu stood beside some big pits, looking at the previous masterpiece, and couldn't help but sigh that it was like a dream, and this dream was very short, so that everyone changed completely before they could react.

Next, everyone divided the work, some dug sand, some rammed earth, and some filled holes. Each process was well organized and everyone performed their duties.

Platoon Leader Huang also used diesel tricycles to transport a large amount of cement and other road construction materials, and there were several technicians responsible for acceptance. Only after passing the relevant instrument inspection could it pass the acceptance.

Otherwise, if the tank falls into a pit during operation, it will be in big trouble.

An hour passed quickly. Platoon Leader Huang led his men to survey the area and divided them into groups. They could start working after breakfast.

According to Kong Hao's travel plan, they don't have much time left, so they have to speed up the construction.

Of course, what Platoon Leader Huang did not expect was that our first mechanized combined battalion encountered big trouble just after leaving the base, and it was impossible to arrive at Dayuan Village as agreed.

Because they had to do physical work, the meal this morning was unusually rich. There was plenty of meat buns and soy milk, and some sugar was added to the soy milk, which made the people in Dayuan Village very satisfied with the meal.

Ever since Kong Hao sent people to bring back a large amount of low-priced sugar and soybeans from Southeast Asia, he set up a factory in Kangaroo Country specifically for the production of soy milk powder. Part of the soy milk powder produced will be shipped back to the country by transport ships, and then transported back to the base through secret transportation channels.

The other part was directly transported back through space and placed in a secret warehouse in the industrial area, so that both sides were taken into consideration.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Platoon Leader Huang specifically asked everyone to rest for half an hour. After all, their stomachs were a little full, and it would not be good for their health if they continued working at this time.

Wu Cunzi, who was watching, rubbed his round belly. The villagers who were sitting on the ground, unwilling to move, immediately scolded him in a tone of disappointment:

"Shame on you, you are such a disgrace, and you even lost people to the army."

"You are the reincarnation of starving ghosts. You have never eaten good food. You all have full bellies. I want to see how you can work later."

At this time, a young man argued quietly: "Village head, it's really not our fault this time. It's mainly because the food provided by the army is too good. I couldn't help but eat a few more."

A middle-aged man in his forties nearby also said, "Village, not to mention these young people who have never seen the world, even an old hand like me has been fed up with it."

"Oh my God, meat buns are so plentiful that even the landlords don't have the money to do so. Ordinary people like us can only eat such delicious food during the Chinese New Year. This is because prices are much cheaper now. If it were in the past, wanting to eat meat would be a dream."

"And this soy milk drink is incredibly delicious. I drank two large bowls. It's probably made from soybeans. The most outrageous thing is that they actually have a lot of sugar in it. This is pure wasteful behavior."

"To be honest, I've lived in this world for forty years, and I've only had the pleasure of eating something sweet no more than ten times. Today's breakfast is the most sumptuous one I've ever had."

"Since we're eating such good food in the army, we have to work hard later. Otherwise, it would be a bit disappointing for their kindness. If anyone tries to cheat, don't blame me for scolding them. The main thing is that we in Dawan Village can't afford to lose that person."

After hearing this, the other people present also promised that they would never be lazy later, otherwise they would feel guilty.

After hearing this, Village Chief Wu didn't know what to say. The main reason was that he had just eaten three big meat buns and drank two bowls of soy milk. If he hadn't been so proud of his status and resisted the temptation of the delicious food, he would probably have been too full. In that case, he wouldn't be able to do his job as village chief. It would be embarrassing.

Next, he found Platoon Leader Huang and expressed his apologies. After all, it was indeed their village that did something wrong, which affected the progress of the troops' project.

After hearing this, Platoon Leader Huang smiled and responded, "That's okay. The villagers have suffered so much for so many years, so it's understandable that they want to have something sweet now. With the great development of our industrial strength, life will get better and better in the future. Everyone will have food to eat and clothes to wear, and can walk in any city with dignity without being bullied by outsiders. All of this will come true."

Hearing this, Wu Cunzi was also deeply touched and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, this is the dream of all of us, and it is a dream that is being realized."

"In fact, life has become much better now. All kinds of goods on the market are very cheap. We no longer have the bad situation of three price increases a month like in previous years. On the contrary, various daily necessities have become much cheaper."

"In the past, most families in the village were very poor. No one could even afford a set of clothes. Sometimes children as young as seven or eight were naked. But now, every family has two sets of clothes. Unless you are a complete slacker, you can always find a job."

"I often tell my four children that all this was given to us by the Eighth Route Army. We should be grateful and never be ungrateful."

Platoon Leader Huang also nodded in agreement. Now everyone's life is getting visibly better, which is something everyone wants to see.
