This is a letter sent from Chongqing.

Chen Ruoyun has been in Chongqing for several months and has been accompanying his parents in Chongqing. He often has letter exchanges with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng smiled softly, opened the letter, pulled out the letter paper, and lined beautiful handwriting imprinted into Ye Feng's eyes. Between the lines, Chen Ruoyun's deep affection could be felt. After reading the letter, Chen Ruoyun's figure appeared in front of Ye Feng's eyes.

After reading the letter, Ye Feng gently and carefully put it in the drawer in his desk. Several letters he had received before were already placed here, all of which were written by Chen Ruoyun to Ye Feng.

"It seems that it takes time to pick up Chen Ruoyun from Chongqing."

...

Jiaxing area.

Since the restoration of Jiaxing, there have been heavy troops of the newly formed 6th Army stationed in this area, and more than 10,000 soldiers from the Third Infantry Division have been stationed in the Jiaxing area.

The railway from Jiaxing to Hangzhou is being repaired. There are already railways between the two places, but there are a few damages. Repairing and opening to traffic is not difficult. In addition to railways, highways are also widening and reinforced.

The more than 3,000 captured puppet troops, except for a small number of them being shot, were mostly undergoing labor reform, some were restoring railways, and some were building roads.

Jiaxing is a bridgehead, with the north being able to attack Suzhou and the east being able to attack Shanghai. The strategic position is very good. After the restoration of Jiaxing, Ye Feng considered to first repair the highways and railways, maintain smooth traffic, and with smooth traffic, the troops of the newly formed 6th Army could maneuver quickly.

On the railway from Hangzhou to Jiaxing, about hundreds of puppet troops were repairing the damaged railway under the surveillance of some soldiers.

These puppet soldiers seemed to have been working for a while. The military uniforms were covered with sweat and even mud, and they no longer looked like they used to be. They looked a bit cool, but the clothes were from the puppet soldiers' uniforms.

These puppet troops were laying sand, sluice, and rails. Several people who looked like technicians were guiding these puppet troops to restore this section of the railway.

On both sides, some soldiers from the newly formed 6th Army were holding Garland rifles or holding Thomson's submachine guns to monitor these puppet troops. The soldiers kept a certain distance from these puppet troops and monitored them from a distance.

"Squad leader. Are you tired?" A young puppet army who was working said to a middle-aged puppet army with a beard.

The middle-aged bearded man was obviously a puppet army squad leader. The bearded man said while working: "It's more tiring to be tired, but since he stopped helping the Japanese business, he feels much brighter and more at ease. I can still bear such labor."

The young puppet army nodded in agreement and said, "Squad leader, I feel the same way. Although I am a little tired, I feel at ease. In addition, the newly compiled 6th Army did not treat us as long as we are obedient. We basically don't beat us up or scold us, which is not like the little Japanese in the past. We didn't treat us as human beings at all, but we were a dog."

The middle-aged bearded man took over the conversation and said, "The new 6th Army is really good. We work hard and we will always have a day to make a comeback. The new 6th Army said, "Work hard and let us go after two years of work."

During the labor period, everyone could talk freely, and this was not stopped, and the soldiers of the newly compiled 6th Army in the distance didn't care about this.

Several puppet soldiers working around the two heard the conversation. A short puppet army came over and said, "I really don't know what to do in two years. Although I'm a little tired from working here, I can eat enough for every meal, at least I can make a full meal. After the labor period is over, it will be difficult to find such a job that can eat enough for a full meal."

A white puppet army next to him smiled and said, "You may not know. At present, a large number of factories have been established in the jurisdiction of the newly formed 6th Army. A large number of factories are recruiting workers. As long as you are strong, you are afraid that you will not be able to find something to do."

The words of this Baijing puppet army quickly aroused the interest of several puppet soldiers next to them. These people looked at the puppet army while working, and looked at the puppet army with great interest.

Seeing that everyone wanted to listen to their own words, the white puppet soldier smiled proudly and said with a thrust his chest: "I heard that when I entered these factories to work, work for 8 hours a day, rest for 4 days a month, have a meal at the factory at noon, and I will give out a few oceans at the end of the month, at least two or three oceans, and the most are five or six oceans."

"There is still some food for lunch!"

"Just work for 8 hours, and you will have 4 days off every month!"

"A few more oceans will be released at the end of the month!"

"There's such a good thing!"

“…”

The puppet troops around were surprised that there was such a good thing. Thinking about the fact that they were a puppet army and worked under Japanese hands, they only had a bite of food. As for the ocean, it was hard to see one or two pieces a year.

When a captain and company commander of the newly formed 6th Army in the distance heard the exclamations of these puppet troops, he couldn't help but smile. The words of this Baijing puppet army were basically true, and the situation was almost the same.

The captain and company commander of the newly formed 6th Army was responsible for supervising the workers and monitoring the puppet troops to repair this damaged railway. The puppet troops were not unhappy when they saw the captain and company commander. Instead, they smiled, so a bold puppet army said loudly.

"Sir, can you tell me about the situation of these factories? Is this really the case?"

Seeing a lot of puppet soldiers looking at him, the captain company commander smiled proudly, took a few steps forward, stood on a pile of neatly arranged sleepers, cleared his throat, and spoke loudly.

"Brothers of the puppet army, although you are our prisoners, through our careful investigation, you have no bad records. You are also making a living by doing things under the Japanese. Some are even forced to make a living. Working here is a chance to be a new person and be a dignified Chinese in the future."

"For you, our military officers are tolerant. You just need to work honestly and reform, and you can be released and re-engaged after two years. Our newly formed 6th Army has built a large number of factories. After your labor period is over, you can go to these factories to find a suitable job."

"Our factories are all over Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo and other places. As far as I know, there are dozens of factories that have been built, requiring a large number of workers. Our military seats are sympathetic to the brothers of workers. Any brothers who work in these factories will be treated well."

"Just as this brother said just now, working in these factories, working for 8 hours a day, resting for 4 days a month, and having a free lunch at the factory at noon, the monthly wage is also quite large, at least several dollars. Everyone works in the factory for a few years and accumulates some of them. It is not a problem to get married and have children,..."

The captain's company commander was very eloquent and spoke in an orderly manner for more than ten minutes. For these puppet soldiers who were at the trough of their lives, a blueprint appeared in front of them, and they were full of hope for life. They knew that as long as they worked hard to reform, they would have a bright future.

"Is there such a good thing really?"

"This is great. I want to work hard and reform myself."

"Sir, thank you."

“…”

These puppet troops were exclaiming in surprise and looked incredibly shocked. Unexpectedly, there was such a good thing.

Some puppet soldiers slapped their heads in annoyance. They were really confused at the time and actually went to do things for the Japanese. If they hadn't been a puppet army, they might have been a worker now, and they would have taken a few dollars a month to get a few dollars. What a wonderful life.

A large number of puppet soldiers, while being upset and regretful, secretly made up their minds to work hard to reform, work honestly and behave properly for two years, and be a good person in the future.

After the captain and company commander said that everyone was more motivated and busy, and they could not believe that these puppet troops were working to transform.

At noon.

A soldier shouted loudly with an iron trumpet: "It's time to eat, everyone stop to have a meal first."

Hearing the shouts, the hundreds of puppet soldiers looked happy, put down their notes, and began to line up in a neatly long queue to receive their lunch today. From the neatly lined up, we can see that these puppet soldiers have improved a lot in terms of their mental outlook, discipline, etc.

"Two steamed buns per person and one bowl of porridge." The soldiers of the cooking squad shouted loudly, and then distributed lunches to the puppet soldiers.

The "Pangu" company transported a large amount of grain from overseas. The entire newly-edition 6th Army had very sufficient food reserves. These puppet troops who were transformed by labor have also benefited from it and could basically eat enough. Just like at noon today, they ate white flour steamed buns. The steamed buns are quite large. If not enough, they can still ask for one after eating.

After the puppet soldiers finished lunch, they took a short break for half an hour. During this half hour, these puppet soldiers were chatting and resting for a short while.

"I'm so full. I ate three white flour buns at noon today, which was enjoyable."

"I also ate three and drank two big bowls of porridge."

"The new 6th Army is amazing. I will give me a meal of fine grains. If it were before, I would never dare to think about it."

These puppet troops were all sighing that the richness of the newly formed 6th Army also made these puppet troops very envious. In the distance, the soldiers responsible for monitoring the hundreds of puppet troops' work had a meal.

The soldiers' food was very good, not only white rice, buns, noodles, etc., but also exquisite stir-fry dishes, three large wooden basins, two meat and one vegetable, which was very rich, and it was much better than these puppet soldiers.

Xiaoshan Airport.

When more than 3,000 puppet troops were working hard to transform their labor, one morning, the autumn was clear and the huge Xiaoshan Airport was docked neatly and on standby.

Teams of fully armed soldiers took agile steps and started boarding the plane one by one, boarding one by one C-47 transport plane.

The soldiers of transport planes, fully armed, began to slowly drive towards the runway, glide, accelerate, and jump into the gradually distant place of the blue sky.
