Rebirth of the National Marshal

It took Lao Wang about half an hour to familiarize himself with the surrounding situation. It turned out that the army that saved him was indeed the army of the Republic of China in the south. They were indeed the army from his hometown, and they were all Han people. Although he had no national concept, he had been bullied to death by these people on the Mongolian grasslands for so many years. We were the ones who did all the heavy work and all the rough work.

We were the ones who were beaten and scolded. Now that the army that can make decisions for ourselves has finally arrived, we must beat all the Soviets and Mongolians to death. This is what Lao Wang was thinking at this time. He has been so wronged in the past few years. He is a man, but he actually started crying after he regained his strength.

The soldiers around were a little at a loss. They certainly didn't know how Lao Wang had survived the past few years. It was simply not a life for a human being. He was captured by Mongolian cavalry when he wanted to return to the Han area.

The Mongols believed that the population on their grasslands was too small, so they had to leave enough people. Anyone who wanted to escape to the south would be captured immediately and taken to the coal mines. This was used to deter those who wanted to return to the south. Those people had families in the south, so how could they not go back?

People come to the grassland just to do business, but these Mongolians don't care about that. You have to stay. Over the years, countless people have died on the way home.

Even those who were not dead were dragged to the coal mine like me. Most of the people who were captured that year are now dead. Like me, they were thrown out after catching a slight cold. Some of them froze to death in the Gobi Desert or were caught and eaten by wolves!

When he heard that these troops were going to the coal mine, Lao Wang felt as if he had a lot more strength all over his body, and he immediately led them there. Those poor people finally had hope, and after they got there, we were finally liberated!

The supervisors at the mine first discovered the convoy coming from the south. They originally thought that they were all Soviets. Although a few people felt something was wrong, they did not say anything.

Even if the Soviets had a convoy, there couldn't be so many. Each time, the Soviets would only send a dozen trucks to transport coal. This time, there were more than a hundred trucks, and they did not look empty. The main reason was that they were much larger than the Soviet cars, the noise was much louder, and they were equipped with machine guns.

Although the Soviet people brought guns and ammunition every time they came, they rarely brought things like machine guns. After all, for the Soviets, the Mongolian grassland was a very safe place. There had been no riots during the years of occupation of the Mongolian grassland. The people here were too docile. Could these people who came this time be Han people from the south?

While the supervisors didn't know what was going on, the trucks quickly rushed into the mining area, and more than a dozen trucks directly surrounded the place. Now they understood that these were not Soviets at all, but Han people from the south.

I don't know what happened, but these yellow-skinned and yellow-haired Mongolians felt that these Han people were their enemies, and they actually pointed their guns at their compatriots. It seemed that they had been ruled by the Soviets for too long. The company commander shot and killed the Mongolian who was about to shoot without saying a word. This was really lively, and the Mongolians inside quickly came out, but they all wilted when they saw the army armed with live ammunition.

They were good at bullying the Han miners, but they didn't have the guts to fight a real army. Look at these soldiers, they were armed to the teeth, the uniforms they wore were so beautiful, they even had submachine guns in their hands, and not just one. Some of the young men in the mine had been to the Soviet army and knew how rare submachine guns were. There weren't many of them in the entire Soviet army.

There are so many here? This means that the elite of this army is far beyond their imagination, even stronger than the Soviet army that was watching them before. Thinking of this, the captain here immediately ordered his soldiers to lay down their weapons. If they continue to fight, there will definitely be no good. These are just a few troops. They can travel a long distance from the grassland, so there must be a large force. Thinking of this, he felt that his decision was very correct.

"From now on, all the assets here belong to the Chahar Provincial Government of the Republic of China. No one is allowed to take anything here to anywhere. All supervisors here must stay. If you have killed anyone, you will be judged by the people. If you have not killed anyone, you will also have to undergo our investigation. From now on, I declare that all miners are free. If you want to go home, we can arrange the travel expenses and everything you need for the journey. If you continue to work here, we will pay you five dollars a month." The company commander in charge immediately announced the plan made above.

Although the higher-ups wanted these miners to stay, they could not force them. They had been away from home for more than ten years and were eager to return home. After hearing what the superior said, they all ran over to sign up. From their proficiency in writing Chinese characters, it could be seen that these people were all Han Chinese, while the Mongolian supervisors could not write Chinese characters at all.

In fact, there is nothing to investigate. The 39 Mongolian supervisors here basically have lives on their hands, so there is nothing much to say. Just drag these 39 people to the bottom of the mine. You should now experience the same feeling as you did for these Han miners in the past.

Sending you to the west with one bullet is a bargain for you, and it also gives you some hope. As long as everyone can dig 1 tons of coal, you can be liberated. Can you be liberated in your lifetime? It depends on whether you can keep doing it.

With the level of mechanization in this era, it is simply a pipe dream to want to dig 1 tons of coal. These people also know that it is impossible, but it is always better to have hope than no hope, so let's continue working here!
