Fengjing Town was a typical water town.
It was drizzling gently, the water rippled, and the road was winding and green.
In Pei Zhan's line of sight, there were two-story buildings on both sides of the river. Under a stone bridge, ships occasionally came and went. Water ducks played on the river surface, and little ladies were washing clothes.
The houses on both sides of the river complemented the white clouds in the sky, extending to the end of their line of sight.
It was harmonious and picturesque.
"I really can't bear to ruin the beautiful scenery here!”
Pei Zhan took a deep breath to calm himself down.
This place was simply a paradise. There was no war or calamity.
Although there were not many people here, it seemed that no one was fleeing, as if they did not know about the disaster.
"Retreat ten miles."
" We'll set up camp outside the town."
"Le An, the mayor of Fengjing Town is here.”
After pondering for a while, Pei Zhan issued an order.
To be honest, he did not want to ruin the beautiful scenery here.
Once this place was used as a base, this quaint town would completely destroy its structure.
If it was a base, the river in the town was crisscrossed, hindering the flow of the base. It was necessary to fill up all the rivers, and this would not be a water town at all.
Moreover, the civilians here had not evacuated. It would be a hindrance if it became a base.
He might as well build a base in the periphery!
He really didn't want to ruin this beautiful water town.
……
Zhang Xueyun followed a guard and jogged all the way to Fengjing Town.
At this moment, the independent battalion had already begun to set up a temporary camp on the empty ground.
The soldiers were working hard with spades, digging trenches and building sandbags.
A flag embroidered with the blue sky and white sun fluttered in the wind. Beside this flag was another flag with the words " Independent Battalion " written in white on a black background!
Zhang Xueyun walked into the camp. The scene he saw made him feel a little emotional. These soldiers were doing their own things in an orderly manner. The military discipline was strict. It seemed that they were different from the national army that harassed the people.
Moreover, he saw machine guns and mortars. Every soldier was equipped with a steel helmet, and there were no less than ten grenades hanging on their waists. It seemed like a well-equipped army.
When he saw the people surrounding the commander of the independent battalion, Pei Zhan, and the submachine guns that each of them was equipped with, his guess was confirmed.
"Sir, this old man greets you.”
"I wonder why the commander is leading the troops here…"
Zhang Xueyun bowed and smiled apologetically.
"Are you the mayor here?"
"I'm sure you've seen the current situation. The Japanese are getting more and more aggressive.”
"I was ordered to lead the troops here to defend Fengjing Town, coordinate with Hangzhou Bay, and stabilize the defense line.”
Pei Zhan looked at the skinny old man in his sixties and nodded.
"What? The Japanese are coming?”
"What should we do?"
Zhang Xueyun turned pale with fright.
"You don't have to be nervous. It's no big deal. The national army will also send reinforcements to reinforce us.”
"Even if the Japanese attack here, I will let you all move and hide first.”
Pei Zhan walked forward, patted the other party's shoulder, and comforted him.
"That's right, that's right…With the commander here, this old man naturally can rest assured.”
Even though he said that, Zhang Xueyun still had a look of fear on his face. It was just that it was a little more relaxed than before.
Ordinary people, even the mayor, were still afraid of war.
"This old man has always lived in Fengjing Town and is very familiar with every household in the town.”
"Perhaps this old man can help this officer.”
"If you need anything, just tell me, sir. I still have the awareness to resist.”
Fortunately, this old man Zhang Xueyun was not afraid of trouble.
Pei Zhan nodded and said unhurriedly,"I need the young men to help us set up a camp. I want to set up a military camp here to protect Fengjing Town. I also need you to supply some food. Of course, we won't let you help us for free.”
He had already made up his mind to build a base in Fengjing Town, so he naturally had to build it well.
This was his first base, so he naturally wouldn't retreat so easily.
In the future, he would be like a nail stuck here to guard the defense line.
"Sir, you must be joking. You're here to protect us. We're more than happy. How dare we ask for any benefits?”
Zhang Xueyun quickly waved his hand and said.
Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials. How could he dare to make any requests? Even if he wanted to recruit able-bodied men, he did not dare to refute.
The War of Resistance was a national affair. If he refused, he would be sabotaging the war.
However, were the Japanese really going to attack?
I've never heard of it…
……
……
A ripple that no one else could see began to spread from the camp.
It only stopped after spreading for a full ten miles.
At this moment, in front of Pei Zhan was a screen that others could not see.
It was really a three-dimensional image of this ten-mile radius. With a thought, he could see any corner, puddle, flat ground, and slope.
However, he couldn't see anything within a ten-mile radius. He could only rely on the System Map.
Moreover, on this screen, one could see friendly parties, hostile parties, and even neutral parties.
Friendly was blue, hostile was red, and neutral was yellow.
" This feels like an infrastructure game…"
However, Pei Zhan knew that this was reality. It was just that it was digitized.
This was a real " infrastructure game " with no saving or loading function.
