Eastern Manchuria, Ivory Mountain Village
The Eighth Route Army's armed work team entered the villages and first confiscated the land in the hands of the pioneering group and the wealth they had plundered, leaving only ten days of rations for each of them. This was the most benevolent and righteous act;
Then they "escorted" these members of the pioneering group to a concentration area specially designated for them, and provided them with a meal of porridge every day to prevent them from starving to death. Yingjiang also sent reporters with the army to take photos.
As soon as this matter was reported, public opinion overwhelmingly praised the Chinese people for their benevolence and righteousness, for repaying evil with kindness, and for having the demeanor of a great country. Even the Chinese media gave it positive coverage.
After getting rid of the Foot Pot Chicken Development Group, the people of Ivory Mountain Village ushered in the most festive days.
"Uncle Seven, have you heard? The Eighth Route Army work team is going to allocate land to us and confiscate Mr. Nakata's houses and livestock—"
"Fourth brother, can you talk? Where did that bullshit Mr. Nakata come from? He is a Japanese! You still call him Mr. Nakata?"
The fourth child knew that he had let something slip, so he immediately gave himself a slap in the face, and then said:
"Seventh uncle, look at my mouth, it just needs a slap!
When the Eighth Route Army comes, the old devil Nakata will have to get out of here in despair. From now on, this Ivory Mountain Village will be the territory of our gentlemen! "
"Fourth brother, why are you still standing there? You fool, go to the ancestral hall to find a place. If you go late, you won't get a good place."
The fourth child followed his seventh uncle in a hurry and headed straight to the village ancestral hall.
His seventh uncle was right, he was not active in allocating fields, and there was something wrong with his head!
When the seventh uncle and the fourth son arrived in front of the ancestral hall, it was already crowded. The old and young men and young and old girls and wives in the village all came out early. Even the New Year market in the town was not so lively.
Everyone greeted each other with smiles on their faces. Although everyone was dressed like a beggar and their skinny bodies would fall over if the wind blew, everyone was in good spirits, at least there was a look in their eyes.
With fields and livestock, there is hope in life, and suffering is only temporary.
"Seventh uncle, you are finally here, everyone is waiting for you to be the first!"
"Yam Egg, what are you talking about in vain? The Eighth Route Army took the lead in dividing the land. I am just like you, waiting for the land to be divided;
I have promised you that this land was allocated to us by the Eighth Route Army, but we dare not forget the kindness of the Eighth Route Army;
The ground has been laid out, and more grain can be harvested to live a happy life. Don't wander around like a street kid all day long. The land does not deceive others. Only when you have taken care of it can you gather more grain. "
Seeing that Uncle Seven was once again lecturing him, Yaodan quickly patted his chest and said:
"Uncle Qi, isn't that all in the past? I worked for that goddamn farmer in Zhongtian. Every day I was so hungry that my eyesight was blurred. I walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. How could I have the strength to work? It was all in vain. All the food was gone. It’s from Zhongtian, and I can’t even have a full meal during the Chinese New Year.”
Others echoed one after another, and many people couldn't help but burst into tears when they thought of the difficult days in the past.
"My poor sheep girl!"
The third sister-in-law thought of the sheep girl who was starved to death again, and couldn't help shouting to the sky. The others also had sad faces. Since the Japanese came, who has not had some sad things? In Ivory Mountain Village, these days It is common for several children to starve to death every year.
"Young and old men and fellow villagers of Ivory Shantun, please be quiet. I am the captain of the armed work team of Ivory Shantun of the Eighth Route Army;
Let me tell you some good news, starting from today we will have our own fields and livestock! "
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd. It must be said that Gao Dashuan understands the thoughts of the fellow villagers. A bunch of nonsense is not as practical as a sentence of dividing the fields.
Gao Dashuan is a child of Gaojia Village in Liu Town. Gaojia Village is living a prosperous life now;
The more prosperous their lives are, the more they hope that farmers all over the world can live like them, with enough food, warm clothes, children, and education.
With this simplest wish, Gao Dachuan joined the Eighth Route Army more than a year ago. On the day he left home, Zhao Zhiqian personally put a big red flower on his head.
On his back he carried a pair of horse-drawn bottoms that he had personally collected for him. From Hedong to Dongman, he fought thousands of miles all the way, but he was reluctant to take them out and wear them. This was his mother's concern and expectation.
Now he could finally fulfill the joint mission of Zhao Zhiqian and Ma Fentian, so that thousands of villagers would have land to grow and food to eat. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Now I announce that we will start dividing the fields!"
His voice was instantly drowned out by the cheers...
The fellow villagers in Baishan and Heishui are busy dividing their fields, but the bandits who originally occupied these lands are in panic. Rumors are spreading in the concentration camp of the Pioneer Regiment, and various gossips are flying:
Some say that the Eighth Route Army wants to avenge the common people and will bury them alive soon. The pits have been dug;
There is talk of selling them to overseas desert islands as slaves;
There is also talk of killing them and using them as army rations...
There are various theories, so that they always feel that the Eighth Route Army guards look at them like they are looking at pieces of fat.
They started to get scared, and they were all so scared that they couldn't sleep, fearing that they would be eaten as military rations.
A few days later, there were rumors again that there was fertile land as far as the eye could see in the Far East, which was covered with potatoes. After the Black Bears withdrew, no one dug them, and they all rotted in the ground.
The warriors in the Far East needed them to dig potatoes, but the Eighth Route Army was unwilling and wanted to use them as military rations.
Fear made them angry, and hunger made them full of infinite longing to dig potatoes in the Far East!
Some of them, those with prestige and ideas, began to form a network and collectively spoke out, asking the Eighth Route Army to release them to the Far East. They were not prisoners of war and had basic human rights.
At this time, reporters from Yingjiang also came to stir up trouble, demanding that the Eighth Route Army grant basic human rights to civilians in the pioneering regiment;
He also threatened that if he could not meet the requirements of the pioneering group, he would announce it to the world through the media.
The momentum was getting bigger and bigger. In order not to affect the reputation of the Eighth Route Army, they had no choice but to agree to send them out of Manchuria as gifts and escort them to the Far East, the Japanese-controlled area.
In line with the humanitarian stance, the Eighth Route Army also distributed a dozen potatoes to each of them to prevent them from starving to death;
The benevolence and righteousness of the Eighth Route Army was highly praised by reporters from Yingjiang, and they praised the Chinese people's benevolence, righteousness and broad-mindedness in newspapers.
The accompanying picture is of thousands of members of the pioneering group, happily defecting to the Far East, each carrying a large bag of grain on their backs;
After being published in the newspapers, it was praised by people all over the world. Even Adolf expressed his position privately:
"Chinese people are extremely benevolent. After the Hans Cats unify the world, they will also give China a place to live. They are as outstanding as the Germanic people."
On the other hand, the government and the media have all lost their voices. They are suffering. There are hundreds of thousands of mouths, and the food provided by the Chinese people is only enough for them to reach the Japanese-controlled areas;
Nowadays, the Far East is frozen and snowy. Food for the army is a big problem. Hundreds of thousands more mouths are coming, which gives people a headache just thinking about it.
"Bagaya Road, this is a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, a plan to kill every family, it's cunning and cunning!"
He wanted to be scolded, but he had no choice. After all, those people were Japanese civilians. The Eighth Route Army had ensured their food. How dare the Far Eastern Front not let them enter the Far East?
Does the morale of the domestic people still need to be improved?
When he learned that hundreds of thousands of refugees from the pioneering group had crossed Khabarovsk and entered the Far East, Chu Xiong showed a strange smile on his face and muttered:
"You dig a sack of potatoes, you dig a sack of potatoes!"
Zhong Guoliang said he didn't understand, but he could feel the joy in Lao Chu's heart.
