It is said that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own doghouse. After several days of being frightened and sleeping in the open air in the mountains, Gao Dashuan's family can finally return to their home.
The dog and the little flower were jumping all the way, shouting happily:
"Go home, go home! There are hot dumplings to eat!"
After eating cold and hard pancakes in the mountains, the adults were better off, but the children were really tired, so Da Shuan's wife comforted the children with hot dumplings more than once.
"When you get home, mom will make you hot dumplings, filled with meat!"
This sentence is not only what children look forward to, but also what adults think about.
"The Japanese are finally gone, go home!"
"go home!"
The old and young men in Gaojia Village wiped away their tears and looked forward to returning to their homes that were leaky but could bring warmth to themselves and their families.
During this counter-mopping up, the Gaojiacun armed workers team and militia fought fiercely with the Japanese. Although all the Japanese invaders were wiped out, the Gaojiacun armed workers and militia company also suffered more than 60 casualties, including 19 sacrifices and 12 serious injuries. People, these are the backbone of every household!
This is war. Kill three thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses. This is already the best result. If the enemy is victorious, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
Like the Gaodashuan family, the folks in Gaojia Village are in urgent need of the comfort of home;
Home can not only give them warmth and peace, but also soothe the pain in their hearts!
When the folks in Gaojia Village returned to their homes with unlimited expectations, they were dumbfounded...
"Mom, where is our home?"
The dog looked at the home that was almost burned to the ground, and asked a question that the dog couldn't answer.
"Damn you little devil, how are you going to live from now on?"
"Mom, I want our home!"
…
The people in Gaojia Village who survived the disaster were in mourning. Their homes were burned down by the Japanese!
Yang Zhijun's eyes were full of tears. This steely man from the Dabie Mountains couldn't help but shed tears of guilt when faced with the devastation after the Japanese left. He was blaming himself for failing to protect the homes of his fellow villagers.
The Japs are so powerful now. Not to mention a small Gaojia Village, even the city of Jinling has been burned to rubble, and the whole of China is in chaos.
The Chinese people will not be intimidated by the atrocities of the Japs. As long as they live, they will fight the Japs. They would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed!
Yang Zhijun knew that now was not the time to shed tears. The Eighth Route Army should be the backbone of the people. If their homes were destroyed, they would lead the people to rebuild their homes!
He knew that at this time, the armed workers team would stand up and give the people confidence, so he said loudly:
"Folks, don't cry, we can't let the devils see our cowardice! The devils burned one of our homes, and we will build a new home on the ruins!"
"We have hands, feet, food, land, but no home. Let's build it!"
Yang Zhijun's emotional words reawakened the enthusiasm of the villagers to rebuild their homes. Gao Da Shuan, who usually couldn't hit a word with three sticks in front of others, actually stood up and spoke:
"I think what Captain Yang said is reasonable. The Japanese have been beaten away. Life must not only be lived, but also better! We will start laying bricks, cutting down trees, and building houses today! I want to give dogs and little flowers, give me Nanny, let me build a better home!"
"Shuanzi is right. We have hands and feet, food, and a house. We can build it ourselves!"
"Yes! If the Japanese burn one of our buildings, we will build one. With the Eighth Route Army here, Gaojiacun's good days will always be there!"
…
Yang Zhijun was completely moved by the words of the villagers. What a good people!
"Folks, let me tell you some good news. Battalion Commander Chu said that Gaojia Village suffered the greatest losses during this anti-sweep operation and eliminated the most Japs. In order to help everyone rebuild their homes, the battalion will support the whole village with 5,000 yuan!"
The enthusiasm of the people was completely ignited and they were full of expectations for the future!
Chu Xiong attached great importance to the reconstruction of Liu Town and the destroyed villages, making it the top priority of the independent battalion's current work. For this purpose, a committee for rebuilding homes was set up, and he himself served as the president.
Chu Xiong is responsible for overall planning, controlling direction, supervising effects, etc.;
Gao Wancheng and Yang Wei serve as vice presidents, and the village commanders of each company serve as members;
Gao Wancheng is responsible for allocating supplies, Yang Wei is responsible for mobilizing the masses, and the village and soldier company commanders are responsible for organizing the masses to rebuild their homes;
Reconstruction must have an overall plan, so as to maximize the collective strength and improve the efficiency of reconstruction work. In this regard, Chuxiong did his best to put forward a plan:
"Comrades, the reconstruction work is urgent. If it is completed one day earlier, the villagers will be spared from having to live in the open for a day. Here I will talk about my plan first, and others will add."
"First, regarding the reconstruction of Liu Town, Liu Town currently has a permanent population of more than 30,000 people and more than 8,000 households. If one household builds one house, it will require more than 8,000 houses. It is too time-consuming! My opinion is to build prefabricated houses. It means to build unified standard houses along both sides of the official road, with shops in the front and people living in the back, one house per house, and the people can be accommodated first."
"All the bricks used to build the house are adobe bricks that can be dried in large quantities. Clay is everywhere and easy to collect. Use fired clay tiles for the roof. While building the house, the clay tiles are fired at the same time..."
"In terms of personnel deployment, except for the two platoons left to look after the house, the rest of the garrison company will support Liuzhen; the main first company will support Gaojia Village, and the second, third, and fourth companies will support other severely damaged villages."
"The instructor is responsible for mobilizing other villages that have not suffered losses to support the brother villages nearby. We have people and materials to build a home together!"
Chu Xiong's plan was recognized by most people, and he also put forward his own suggestions. After all, Chu Xiong was not a god. He could think of everything. One person's wisdom is short, but everyone's wisdom is long.
After several hours of discussion and improvement, the base area reconstruction plan was officially released. Hundreds of thousands of people in the entire base area will invest in the reconstruction of Liu Town and several burned villages.
The power of the masses is infinite. Chu Xiong and his comrades believe that as long as everyone is united and united, it won't be long before a new base area will be rebuilt on the ruins.
The hard-working, intelligent and strong Chinese people will not be intimidated by the atrocities of the invaders!
