But everything changed in an instant: artillery fire was flying, people were displaced, children were crying, people were being massacred, and the arrogant Japanese army.
This is a propaganda film promoting the brutality of the Japanese army.
When they saw the Japanese troops slowly entering the city with corpses everywhere, Yi Bang and Tian Jie burst into tears. As people who came from Peiping, they felt it the most. Their homes were destroyed in this way.
Destroyed. The warm home in the dream is gone.
After watching the movie, Yi Bang and Tian Jie came to a classroom. After sitting down, a Red Army soldier wearing a tattered military uniform walked in. Due to the limited military uniforms given by Chiang Kai-shek's agency, except for the expedition troops, everyone else is still wearing the old Red Army uniform. This Red Army is old
Gently, he took a large pile of paper and placed it on the table in front of him.
The young soldier said, "Hello, classmates, my name is Meng Tian. I believe that after watching the video just now, you have a new understanding of the fight against Japan. Resistance against Japan means fighting, but what is war? Fighting means fighting for resources, and these resources are guns and cannons.
, it is also manpower, it is also goods, it is the comprehensive strength of a country. Therefore, participating in the Anti-Japanese War is not just a way to join the army.
Everyone knows that our country is an agricultural country, and the country's income mainly comes from the countryside. Therefore, going to the countryside to teach the farmer brothers to increase production and transform the new countryside to provide sufficient funds and military rations for the anti-Japanese front line is to contribute to the anti-Japanese war. Go to the factory to work, manufacture
Industrial products and manufacturing weapons are a contribution to the anti-Japanese war. Going to hospitals to save lives and heal the wounded is a contribution to the anti-Japanese war. Going to schools to teach our next generation, enlighten the people's wisdom and make our next generation more powerful is also a contribution to the anti-Japanese war. Now we hope that everyone will do
Make a choice, how to resist Japan.
All of you students are people who have read books. Our army is in short supply of people like you who have read books. But our industry, agriculture, schools, hospitals and other places are even more in need of intellectuals like you. I can reveal some secrets to you.
As you all know, we in Yan'an have decided to set up a steel plant and a military factory. I hope you will seriously consider which department to go to. Next, we will send you a letter of application, which will determine your future work direction."
As he said that, he began to distribute volunteer books.
If someone had told them a few days ago that they would put down their guns and go to the rear to farm and work, they would have laughed at him as a coward. But now they can't help but think about which industry they can go to to exert their greatest strength in the fight against Japan.
Soon everyone got the application form, which contained some basic personal information and a volunteer choice.
I only saw that it said A Agriculture B Industry C Education D Military E Medical F Continuing Education G Research (only for university graduates)
Tian Jie patted Yi Bang gently and said, "Yibang, what are you going to do?"
Yi Bang thought for a while and said firmly, "I still want to be a soldier. In these troubled times, a man should carry a three-foot sword and make great achievements. Tian Jie, you come with me."
Tian Jie was hesitant. He didn't like being a soldier. He liked a stable life, reading, and art. This short one-month military career had already made him complain. If he hadn't grown up with Yi Bang, he would have been there long ago.
He called out and quit. Now that he had the opportunity, he didn't want to give up.
Tian Jie said hesitantly, "Yibang, I don't want to be a soldier anymore. I think it's good to be a worker. Look, didn't we lose in Peking because we didn't have tanks and planes? If we had 8,000
With artillery, tanks, and planes, how can we be afraid of the Japanese?"
Yi Bang frowned and said, "Tian Jie, don't be fooled just by watching their videos. Yan'an is just a tiny place, and Shaanxi is notoriously barren. Where will the Red Party get the money to engage in heavy industry? They
So-called steel factories can only produce farm tools 80% of the time, and military factories can’t even make guns, so what’s their use?”
Tian Jie was speechless by Yi Bang, but he really didn't want to join the army, so he said, "Then I will go to the countryside, and Yi Bang, I advise you to go with me. You are also an only son.
If there is anything wrong, how can I explain it to your parents?"
Yi Bang smiled and said, "Where do I need your help? A joke? Well, if you are really so timid, then let's go our separate ways." After saying that, Yi Bang turned his head and said that he would no longer care about him.
Meng Tian continued, "Dear students, you have one night to think. After filling it out, please put it into the big iron box set up on the playground. But I hope everyone will take it seriously. Because of the need to resist Japan, you will not be able to make your choice for a long time.
Change your volunteer work type.”
Many people thought about it until very late that night before making a decision. Tian Jie and Yi Bang also thought about it for a long time. Tian Jie thought to himself, "Yibang is my best friend. I can't watch him die in vain."
Yi Bang stood at the window and looked at the moon. "That fool Tian Jie will only be laughed at by hiding in the back. I won't let you regret it in the future."
The next day, Yi Bang woke up Tian Jie fiercely, "Tian Jie, where is my application letter?"
Tian Jie looked around in panic and said, "I - I don't want you to become a soldier, so I'll do it for you."
Yi Bang was stunned and said, "You paid it for me too?"
Tian Jie immediately said, "Yes? What do you mean by this? Do you mean it?"
Yi Bang said a little embarrassedly, "I paid it for you too."
The two looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and shouted together, "You idiot!!"
The students are struggling with the future direction, while the experts and scholars are shocked by everything in front of them.
After watching the film, these people were organized to Yan'an, where a large number of experimental equipment and scientific and technological books brought by Jiang Cheng from later generations were stored. Although the original books were in simplified Chinese and contained a lot of sensitive information, during this period
It has been secretly dealt with once by Chairman Mao's order, and now the version presented to everyone is ready for the public. As for the instruments, it is even more dazzling for everyone.
The person in charge of receiving them was He Changgong. He Changgong smiled and said to everyone, "Dear teachers, these are our experimental equipment and technical books in Yan'an. Take a look. If you need anything else, please make a list and provide it to me.
"
Those experts looked at the rows of books and the neatly arranged equipment and couldn't believe that this was Yan'an.
A young scholar asked, "Can you really give us what we want?"
He Changgong actually had no idea, but he still said, "Yes, our party will solve it as soon as possible. Also, we can only provide books and equipment, so life may be difficult."
The young man said, "As long as I don't starve to death, I won't say anything anymore. I'll go take a look first."
Others also rushed to the bookshelf to find the books they needed. Soon it turned into a study room. I saw these people looking at the books in their hands one by one, nodding, shaking their heads, and
Others laughed wildly, "I knew it was like this. I was right. I should do this."
Looking at the people who were going crazy, He Changgong felt like he was a redundant person, but he still said, "I don't know what you think about running a school?"
An old professor smiled and said, "You can really provide us with such a good environment. Even if you drive us away, we won't leave."
Others also smiled and said yes.
He Changgong was relieved. After all, he was in charge of school affairs.
Jiang Cheng on the other side watched the 115th Division move into the distance, chatted with several other division chiefs, and then rushed back to Yan'an, ready to listen to the advice of experts and scholars.
When Jiang Cheng returned to Yan'an, he received a thick stack of papers containing the requirements of the experts.
Jiang Cheng scratched his head and asked He Changgong, "Why are there so many? What did the experts say?"
He Changgong laughed and said, "We are almost going crazy. Everyone is reading and taking notes crazily. Many people cry and laugh sometimes. Many problems that have been thought about for many years were answered in one day.
, but it’s just theoretical, and there should still be a lot of people who are doubtful about it. These are some devices designed to confirm those theories.”
Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "I think we really need to reorganize those books. We can't just let everyone see those books. They must be classified according to the confidentiality level. Some more sensitive knowledge must have enough
Only at the level of
He Changgong nodded and said, "The chairman also told me this before I came here. This work has already begun."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "That's good. I wonder if those students have made their choice."
He Changgong smiled and said, "It's a good thing you gave them a multiple-choice question. I don't know how troubled they are."
Jiang Cheng stuck out his tongue and said, "It's not that I won't let them change it, it's just that there are restrictions on the change. Only those who choose to be in the army can change it. After all, if I guess correctly, the army still has the largest number of people."
--extend
Tian Jie saw Yi Bang coming back and asked, "How is it? Can it be changed?"
Yi Bang sat down on the stool helplessly and said, "No, it says it can't be changed once it's confirmed."
Tian Jie said with a sad face, "Look at the good things you have done. I am too lazy to ask. Now I have to be a soldier again. What should I do? I don't want to go to the battlefield."
Seeing Tian Jie's unsatisfactory look, Yi Bang almost wanted to hit someone. Finally, he endured it and said, "Be careful in the army. You also know the fate of deserters." He thought to himself, "I'm unlucky. I can't go to the battlefield. Come on."
It’s really embarrassing to be a fucking worker.”
Tian Jie nodded and sighed, "I understand."
The next day, the students began to travel according to their own wishes. On the other side of Shanghai, Koike Akira from Nagoya ushered in the biggest change in his life.
After several days of turbulence, Koike Akira's troop transport finally arrived in Shanghai. Since it was the second wave of troops, Koike Akira did not risk landing on the beach, but went directly to the shore. For the first time, he stood where he had been from countless books.
, the land he saw in the newspaper felt so unreal to Akira Koike.
Koike Akira was suddenly photographed from behind, and it turned out to be Hikari Nakajima.
Nakajima Hikaru said with a smile, "Are you still thinking about your fiancée? Wake up, this is a battlefield."
Koike Akira said unhappily, "No, I'm just thinking about the next battle."
Nakajima Hikari squinted and said, "Oh~ Really, I don't believe it."
At this time, the rallying slogan was trumpeted. Koike Akira and Nakajima Hikari looked at each other, and they quickly ran to find the squad leader to assemble.
The two stood at attention. After the squad leader called their names, he said, "Gentlemen, we have arrived in Shanghai, but because we are an emergency rescue, we don't have enough military rations. We just received the order from the squad leader. Our squad will go to collect rations. Everyone."
Be careful, this is China, and there are many ignorant people who oppose the empire. You must be careful when collecting food. Okay, if there is no problem, the whole army will set off."
With that said, the team leader led everyone towards a village.
Koike Akira sighed and said to Hikari Nakajima next to him, "I didn't expect that our first task would be to collect food. It's really boring."
Nakajima Hikaru smiled and said, "Do you still feel bored with collecting food? This is a good job that the squad leader only got by drawing lots."
Koike Akira couldn't help but wonder, "Really? I still want to go to the battlefield seriously. I heard that our empire's navy was killed by the Chinese army some time ago. Damn the Chinese, I must be on the battlefield."
Teach him a lesson."
Nakajima Hikaru shook his head and said, "You'll know why I said collecting food is a good job later."
Soon we arrived at a place called Chenjiacun.
There were already two elderly-looking old men standing there at the entrance of the village. There were also a lot of things placed beside them.
I only saw the squad leader waving his hand, and the Japanese army quickly occupied the nearby commanding heights. The squad leader led several people and an interpreter to step forward, and pointed a few crooked weapons at the two people. If there was any abnormality, they would be
These two were torn apart.
I only saw these two old men saying with a smile, "Chenjiacun heard that the heavenly soldiers were coming to the local area and came here to greet them. They didn't have anything good. They could only prepare some wine, rice, vegetables and fruits to reward your troops."
Koike Akira excitedly said to Nakajima Hikaru, "It seems that there are still many people in China who have a good impression of the empire. Look, is this the legendary Tao eating pot of pulp to welcome the king's master?"
Nakajima Hikaru shook his head and said with a smile, "You can see it."
The squad leader nodded and looked through the things on the ground. He saw four or five jars of wine, two loads of rice and a large bag of meat.
The team leader nodded and said, "Yo Xi, not bad."
The two old men looked at each other and said with a smile, "Just take it if your army likes it."
But he saw the squad leader suddenly slapped him and cursed, "Baga, are you fooling the imperial army? Are you trying to fool the imperial army with these things that are only enough to fit between your teeth?"
The two old men knelt down quickly and said, "No, no, we don't dare? Imperial Army, we are really sincere ****."
At this time, several strong young men with hoes ran out of the village. One young man pulled an old man over and said, "What do you want to do? We have given you food, isn't it enough?"
The old man stamped his feet and shouted, "What are you doing out here? Didn't I tell you not to come out?"
I saw the squad leader pull out his samurai sword, and other Japanese soldiers immediately loaded their weapons. Several Japanese soldiers who were close to them simply put their bayonets on these people, and these young men also took hoes and started to confront the Japanese soldiers."
The squad leader shouted without being wordy, "Hand over all the food in your village, otherwise, they will all die."
After hearing the translation, the young man shouted, "How is it possible? I have left everything to you. What will we eat?"
The squad leader was probably bored, so he raised his knife and chopped off the young man's head with one blow. The other young men looked at it in stunned silence. As if it was a signal, other Japanese soldiers also stepped forward and raised their bayonets.
The young men shouted, "Fight them."
But a farmer holding a hoe was no match for a professional soldier, and soon these men fell into a pool of blood together.
The squad leader yelled, "Go into the village to collect food!"
Koike Akira couldn't believe what he saw before his eyes and asked Nakajima Hikaru, "Why? Why do we want to kill them?"
Nakajima Hikaru laughed loudly and said, "You'll find out later. Come on, follow me into the village and prepare some small gifts for your fiancée."
At this time, the entire team had dispersed in twos and threes, smashed the door and entered the house. After a while, bursts of crying, curses, fighting, and laughter came from the village. Only the Japanese were seen rushing into the door to see them.
They killed the men and robbed the women. Others who had not robbed the women would plunder the property from the house. Because it was around Shanghai, this village was quite wealthy. Many families had food, cloth and other materials. They were lucky.
Gold, silver and other precious metals were also found.
Akira Koike went crazy and said to Hikaru Nakajima, "Why? Why are we doing this?"
Nakajima Hikaru sighed and said, "We are here to collect food. You will know why we do this when you see the food we can receive. Don't treat these Chinese people as human beings."
As he said that, Hikaru Nakajima found a house and broke in. He saw Hikaru Nakajima kicking open the door first, then looked inside cautiously, and tested it with a helmet. He found that no one was there, and then waved to Koike.
Signing to go in, Koike followed him in numbly.
This is an ordinary house with two or three chickens in the yard. This is probably the family's largest source of extra income.
Suddenly there was a cry for mercy and a woman's cry from the house.
Xiaochi ran in, only to see a man kneeling on the ground and not knowing what he was saying, and a woman in the corner who seemed to be greatly frightened.
Before Koike Akira could speak, he saw Hikaru Nakajima stabbing the man. When the woman saw her husband dying in front of her, she screamed crazily. Listening to such a cry, Hikaru Nakajima seemed very...
He said "Yo Xi" as if satisfied.
"What are you doing? Why are you killing him?" Koike Akira asked. Nakajima Hikaru turned around and saw it was Koike Akira, with blood on his face. He smiled and said, "Koike Akira, I remember you haven't killed anyone before.
Come on, come on, try stabbing a living person with a bayonet. This person is still alive, so try it while he is still alive."
Koike Akira shouted, "Why, why do we kill civilians? Aren't we here to rescue them?"
Nakajima Hikaru frowned, slapped Koike Akira hard and said, "Koike Akira, you are the imperial army of the empire and the emperor's samurai, how can you be so cowardly?"
Then she grabbed his hand and said, "Quick, stab this man."
Koike Akira was still at a loss. Nakajima Hikaru was so angry that he slapped Koike Akira again and shouted, "Stab him down! Hurry up."
Koike Akira suddenly screamed like crazy and stabbed the dying man with a knife. The woman had almost lost her mind and just screamed crazily with her eyes closed.
Koike Akira may have been tired, so he lay on the ground, looking at the person he killed for the first time, his eyes still in a daze.
Nakajima Hikaru laughed loudly and said, "That's good. You see, it's always like this the first time. Come on, let's relax now." As he said this, Nakajima Hikaru pulled the woman over and slapped her twice hard.
He knocked the woman unconscious directly, then started to take off the woman's clothes, and said to Akira Koike next to him, "Come on, Akira Koike, come and enjoy it."
Koike Akira looked at the woman's stripped body, his eyes slowly widened, he called "Yumeko" and then rushed towards her like crazy.
Nakajima Hikari was laughing and cheering beside him. Scenes like this could be seen everywhere in the village.
After everything was over, Koike Akira and Nakajima Hikaru moved a cart of things to the village entrance. Koike Akira had recovered. When he saw the village entrance, he couldn't believe his eyes. Everyone was holding
Chickens, ducks, and food were piled up in mountains, and the team leader was drinking wine beside him.
Nakajima Hikaru smiled and said to Koike Akira, "Did you see it? The food collected now is enough for us. By the way, this was just found at that house. Take it back and give it to Yumeko."
Koike Akira lowered his head and saw a gold ring with blood stains on it. He looked at Hikaru Nakajima in surprise.
Nakajima Hikaru smiled and patted him and said, "Take it with peace of mind, it'll be fine. Okay, the battle behind it won't be so easy."
On the way back, Koike Akira looked at everyone's bulging bags, touched the ring in his jacket pocket and said with a smile, "Recruiting food is indeed the best job."
