What probably happened is the brake shoe got heat glazed (maybe?) and now your hearing the squeak from the "hardened" shoe material.

It might go away on it's own and if not take drums off and sand shoe surface to get rid of the glaze surface of the shoe. You don't have to take the shoes off, just sand them still installed.

I'm no mechanic and of course this is just my worth.
Yes, it was enough to hold the car still. What do you mean the brake shoe got heat glazed? I dont really know what you mean by the shoes, so coud you please explain it further?
