After the meeting, the vanguard soldiers began borrowing brooms from the locals.
The local brooms were quite simple, just a bunch of dried wheat stems tied together.
When sweeping, one had to hold the broom at an angle and press it hard against the ground, so the wheat stems would naturally adhere to the surface, and with a forceful sweep, most of the dirt could be collected.
The soldiers loaded all the borrowed brooms into the back of the Willis jeeps.
Although Wang Zhong had ordered everyone to rest well that night, most people simply could not sleep, and soldiers from the vanguard team could be seen chatting together all over the village.
Trinka Village was a relatively large one, but it couldn't accommodate a temporary infantry division plus a vanguard team all at once, so many from the vanguard team ended up sleeping outdoors.
Wang Zhong himself slept quite soundly, falling asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed provided by the commander of the 401 Division.
