Battalion Commander Zhang Maocai
7 The end of the fierce battle

After this battle, on the second day in the camp, 350 new soldiers were transferred to Zhang Maocai's camp. Zhang Maocai had been counting the number of people alive from yesterday afternoon to the night before counting the number of deaths. The names of the new soldiers were recorded by Zhang Maocai on the register when they were reported the next day. Wang Amao's eyes were round, and he had the same hairy head. He had an indescribable curiosity about his new brothers.

The original number of people in the camp and the new people lived their lives as usual during the period of peace. They ran together, trained together, ate together, and talked together. Yin Yuanshuo, Jin Zhemin, Wang Chunbao, and a few other timid and weak soldiers gathered together. However, there was a quiet atmosphere among them. Of course, there were also some who were active and began to exaggerate. However, Kim Chol Min, Yin Yuan Shuo, and the other North Koreans believed that they had survived until now because they had stepped on a mountain of corpses. The number of people who had died because of them was enough to make people wonder why they had to live until now. Even though they did not say anything, they were the ones who had brought about the silent atmosphere.

Quan and the new soldiers gathered together to discuss some topics. These topics brought about some intelligence. With the death of their superiors, the soldiers began to move to other battalions. Sometimes, Zhang Maocai's battalion would have more or less people than before. This depended on the deployment of the soldiers.

Just like that, it was around January 11th, 2033. The rare peace and quiet during this period was enough for Zhang Maocai to feel that the people in the camp could rest and build up their strength during this period of time. It was very different from a war that lasted for days. At that time, many people would be exhausted, and their mental endurance, physical strength, and vitality would reach their limits. Some of the soldiers were even willing to die for this, and some were taken captive by the enemy. Some of them had unknowingly fainted or stopped moving. Some of them would do things that they would never do.

At this moment, Zhang Maocai suddenly received a sealed package. It was handed to him by some postmen in the team. Zhang Maocai wondered who would be so concerned about him. The postman only said, They said they were your in-laws. Zhang Maocai started to see the thick packages. After cutting open the kraft paper packaging with scissors, he then saw the containers.

Inside were a few sets of Chinese clothing that he had not brought along, as well as a few letters in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. Even his favorite snacks made by the young ladies had been prepared by someone else. The letters in Japanese were a piece of white paper that had been painted with a special material. Zhang Maocai had to destroy them in a brazier after they were looked at. After the material on the letter was wiped away, the name of the writer was suddenly reflected: Shizuka Sahashi and her mother, Sahashi Mie.

They had always been very concerned about his whereabouts, and they said that his in-laws did not want to easily reveal his whereabouts to them. As for snacks, they worked together with their in-laws, Miss Zheng Lianen, and a boy with slanted eyes. We didn't have time to collect the clothes that were abandoned by the new reclamation team. We washed the dirty ones, washed the torn ones, and repaired the torn ones. We worked with Zheng Lianen and the boy with the slanted eyes to repair them overnight. Of course, we've already collected the clothes and belongings of your relatives. Your in-laws are the same. There are many people from the reclamation team who want to live in your house. They even came first and said that we were allowed to live in. Several people from the reclamation team surrounded their house and said, Why are there so many rooms in this house, and only a few of you take up so much space? How many of us still live in some extremely small square meters? We must also go inside and strongly request that you let us live inside!! The people from the reclamation team behind also shouted the same strong request for you to let us live in!! Yes. In the end, when the patrolmen came to mediate, those who didn't live in the reclamation team surrounded the patrolmen and said, It's too unfair. They were the first to be allowed to live in this house. Why can't we? In the end, your house was squeezed into thirty people. Although these people had become living under the same roof, they still felt that it was a very happy thing to have a place to live inside…

Zhang Maocai felt a little pity for the lonely Japanese mother and daughter, but he immediately burned the letter in the brazier after reading it, even though he still wanted to read it again. When she was eating her snacks, she realized that she was starting to feel a little green. This was because the boy had put a lot of salt and gourmet powder in some places. Even the thread of the torn hole in his pants was twisted into a ball when he was repairing it.

It was good to have relatives. Suddenly, he heard Quan sigh in the open space not far from the house.

Quan, what's the matter? Zhang Maocai raised his head and asked.

Even my in-laws and parents have long been separated from each other. Ah Quan told Zhang Mao Cai.

This was really a very sad thing, Zhang Maocai said.

No, they were busy making a living when I was young, so they asked me to do this and that. Ah Quan said,"When other children go to play, I have to do what they say. If I don't do it, they will lose their temper." He even said that if he didn't do this, how would he have food to eat when he grew up? Now that she had nothing to worry about, she felt much more relaxed.

Are your parents the kind of people who would expect too much from you? Zhang Maocai asked.

Ah Quan said indifferently," They said that we don't have any in-laws here. We don't have any support or relationships. We only have ourselves. In the end, my survival skills were not complete in this world. After being separated from my parents, I could only come here.

After saying this to Ah Quan, Zhang Maocai felt that everyone in this world had different reasons, but resisting the Japanese was not necessarily a common enemy.
