Eight hundred and ninetieth nine chapters dark rule
A mess of shabby shacks was built in the leeward depression on the flank of the Japanese position. Although these shacks made of wood and wormwood and reed poles were leaking from all directions, they were the places where the young men slept at night.
Driven here from their warm homes by Japanese bayonets, the young men not only did not have enough to eat, but also had to complete heavy hard labor tasks. Sleeping in such shacks, the cold wind that poured in through the cracks often woke them up in the middle of the night.
.
But for these unarmed people, what can be done? Although China has not yet been destroyed and the Chinese Communist Party is still resisting, for them living in the occupied areas, it seems that they are no longer any different from the subjugated slaves.
.
The bayonets were in the hands of the little devils, and important materials such as grain and salt were also in the hands of the little devils. They had to work when the devils asked them to work, and they had to hand over food when they were asked to do so. Once they resisted, they would only die.
Many villages that resisted were massacred. Not only were the houses set on fire, but not even the men, women, and children in the village survived.
However, these surviving villages and people were forced to live a life of walking on thin ice due to the fierceness of the Japanese. They prayed for peace and survival.
In order to survive, there are even times when they hate the guerrillas. They think that if the guerrillas hadn't launched attacks everywhere, irritating the little devils, the little devils wouldn't have turned on them, making them fearful.
It is a pity that even if the guerrillas were wiped out by the Japanese, their lives were not much better. On the contrary, under the pressure of the maintenance committee and the plainclothes team, their situation deteriorated and became more and more difficult.
Most of the people living in the enemy-occupied areas now live with fear and caution. Their hearts are like the gray sky. Only the darkness cannot see the sun. They don't know when such days will end.
.
They used to scold the Chinese who only knew how to bully the people and eat freeloaders, but now the Chinese Communists have not been seen for a long time, and the guerrillas have also disappeared, as if they have disappeared, and they have begun to miss them.
Every time they hear news about the Chinese Communist Party and the guerrillas, they always feel sincerely excited. After all, they are the Chinese army and they are Chinese.
They now also hope that the Chinese *** team can fight back and regain the occupied land, but every time the news comes is the news of the Chinese *** team's defeat and the victory of the Japanese.
The Japanese will block the news of their failure in the occupied areas. They will only spread the news of the failure of the Chinese *** team, hoping to make the people in the occupied areas completely give up and let them know that the Chinese *** team is no longer able to counterattack. They can feel at ease
take over their rule.
In fact, this is indeed the case. In the era of backward communication methods, as soon as the Japs blocked the news, the people in the occupied areas were really blinded. Many people even thought that the country was subjugated.
Even many people who had the will to resist at the beginning stopped resisting because the country was destroyed, and the resistance of one or two people could not change anything.
But this time, the first guerrilla force in the Sulu theater led by General Ma Yuren unexpectedly attacked Gaoyou City, which really inspired the people of Gaoyou City.
It was like being in darkness for a long time and suddenly seeing the dawn of hope. Although the devils were still in the city, the people secretly were excited.
Many people even sewed a simple blue sky and white sun flag overnight, preparing to hang it up when the Chinese army entered the city to celebrate the victory.
Unfortunately, the first line of guerrilla troops fought bloody battles with the Japanese outside the city for more than a week. Despite the ardent expectations of the people in the city, they never entered the city.
Later, the sound of gunfire suddenly died down, and soon news came that the guerrilla troops had been strangled by the Japanese and puppet troops together. They had been completely defeated and were fleeing in all directions.
The people in Gaoyou City fell from the peak of excitement to the trough of disappointment. The huge emotional gap was difficult for them to accept. Many people cried and quietly burned the blue sky and white sun flag sewn in secret.
The Japs were victorious and retreated to the city to rest. The little Japs who showed off their power began to move around in restaurants and brothels. They drank heavily and excitedly announced their victory.
However, the smell of gunpowder smoke in Gaoyou City has not dissipated, and the sky above the entire city is still shrouded in dark black smoke. Although the war did not cause much damage to the city, the city is still lifeless.
Countless people in Gaoyou City were wailing in their hearts. When they were taken by the Sustainers to collect and bury the corpses on the battlefield outside the city, their hearts were weeping when they saw the Chinese officers and soldiers who had been blown to pieces.
The guerrillas were defeated by the Japs, and Gaoyou City was still in the hands of the Japs. All the people's hopes were shattered like bubbles, and they had to continue to live under a cruel and gloomy rule. Only they themselves knew this uncomfortable feeling.
The city was lifeless. Except for the traitors who maintained the association and praised the Japanese for their virtues, most of the people were silent and miserable.
Instead of the festive atmosphere of a victorious battle, the whole city fell into a dead silence, like a ruined and dead city.
The situation outside the city was not much better. Those young men who repaired fortifications and dug trenches for the Japanese were equally miserable. Especially when they dug up the buried corpses of guerrilla officers and soldiers, their faces were filled with sadness.
The Japanese defeated the guerrillas who came to attack in Gaoyou City. They won. After the victory, there was a bloody massacre.
In addition to the captured wounded guerrillas, the target of the Japanese killings was also many civilians in the city.
Many people in Gaoyou thought that the Chinese Communist Army would destroy the Japanese and recover Gaoyou City, so they were excited and prepared to welcome their own troops into the city.
Unfortunately, the guerrilla forces failed. Under the informants of traitors and plainclothes teams, the puppet military and police in the city were dispatched everywhere and arrested a large number of people who supported the Chinese Communist Party.
Because of their excitement, these people inadvertently exposed their patriotic thoughts hidden in their hearts and expressed their dissatisfaction and disgust towards the little devils, which brought them disaster.
In the eyes of the little devil, these common people who try to welcome the guerrillas into the city are not good citizens, they are saboteurs, and may even be internal agents of the guerrillas, so they must be severely punished.
The fate of these captured civilians was even more miserable than that of the captured guerrilla officers and soldiers. The Japanese would be happy to catch the guerrilla officers and soldiers and kill them in public.
But for the captured people, the Japs did not kill them. Instead, they hoped to achieve the effect of knocking mountains and shaking tigers, and instead tortured them slowly.
At the gates of the north and south gates of Gaoyou, a large number of wooden stakes were erected, and the people who were tortured and tortured until they were covered in blood were nailed to the wooden stakes.
Iron nails connected their bodies to the wooden stakes, so they were exposed to the cold wind. Many of them had died, but there were still others who were still living in a life worse than death.
The little devils just hope to use such brutal methods to scare the people who are still loyal to China and tell them that if they resist, this will be the fate.
All the people in Gaoyou City were immersed in great grief. They could only watch their compatriots slowly bleed to death on the wooden stakes and slowly starve to death, but they did not dare to come forward to save them.
Because if anyone comes close, the Japs will arrest them, convict them as accomplices, and then torture them in the same way. The Japs want to establish their power.
