The sealed ditch stretched for more than 50 miles from Meixian to Xinglong Town.

The originally fertile land on both sides of the blockade ditch was as cracked as wrinkles on the face of the old man after experiencing wind and frost.

Clear and profound.

There are dry shrubs everywhere, and the hot wind brings gusts of wind and sand floating in the wilderness.

After years of severe drought, after the Japanese merged the villages and towns, many villages became unmanned villages.

There are no people in ten miles, and there are no roosters crowing and dogs barking.

The eighth day of the Chinese New Year attacked the artillery tower blocked by the edge of the ditch.

The Japanese followed the net-style sweep.

Since then, the Eighth Route Army outside the mountain seems to have disappeared.

After the national army in the mountains surrendered, there was almost no gunshot on the plains.

The puppet troops guarding the artillery tower could not even see a good citizen who had passed the blockade ditch all day long.

I basically do nothing on weekdays.

The most important task is to go to the water well in the unmanned village to carry water back to the artillery tower.

As a centralized demonstration site, Xinglong Town has achieved great results in management.

With the town as the center, all villagers within ten miles were concentrated in the town as big as a palm.

Every morning, hundreds of thousands of people came out of the town in batches and worked in the surrounding fields where there was a little water.

Logically speaking, if so many people gather together, they should prosper.

Even if it is a deformed prosperity... it should flourish.

But the town was in a state of depression.

Only the businessmen of Bird Country still open the door to do business in the town.

Bird people are very trustworthy and have clear and real price.

Their business is actually very single, so they accept land deeds!

One pound of millet is exchanged for one acre of land.

It seems to be a business that you love and I want to do!

The town does not sell grain, nor does it sell oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Everyone gathered together, and the Imperial Army was authentic and was in charge of food.

Unfortunately, two meals a day are all sparse and mixed noodles with porridge.

Porridge can be used as a mirror to look at people's shadows, and after taking a small sip, you can see the bottom of the bowl.

There is no mouse or cockroach in the town...

In the morning, we sing birds singing together, and in the evening, there is a troupe who can sing birds singing birds operas that are invited from Tianjin.

The newly opened primary schools are overcrowded.

Children over 10 years old have to go to school, wear kimonos, dance birds, learn birds, sing birds, and write bird words...

There was no stool in class, so I bowed when I saw someone, bowed when I saw the Imperial Army, and plaster flags were hung at the door of every household...

Men, women, young and old, all must fully receive Bird Country education...

It is said that it is for the sake of the common people. The imperial army still bans smoking in the town.

Half a month ago, the Bird Country Food Merchants had to move out.

There is no way. Two months earlier, the people had already used all the gold and silver in their hands for high-priced food...

There is no way, the people have no money, so who else can they sell the grain to?

There is another way for ordinary people to get food...

A hospital was opened in the town.

Of course, you don’t do anything to save people when you see a doctor.

People in the town must donate blood to the common people every three days...

The Imperial Army is considerate and can receive half a pound of millet even if you donate blood.

Later, the doctors were unwilling to draw blood because halfway through, the people might die in the hospital...

They are afraid that these blood cells and plasma will not be active...

The villagers who were gathered together lived a life worse than dogs...

At least the dog will not get blood drawn every now and then...

Can you live such a life?

The underground organization has also led many people's riots.

Unfortunately, I have no armed force and no strength. What can I use to fight against the Japanese puppet army?

Every time, he was quickly suppressed by the Japanese puppet army.

The guerrillas outside the town could only watch and there was no way.

The riot failed, and some people began to find ways to escape from the concentration camp.

However, most of the people who escaped were out of the town for three or five miles and then lost the energy to escape.

The Japanese puppet troops patrolling outside could catch up with the runners with their wolf dogs without any effort.

For the stubborn and unrealized elements who destroyed the communist and the glory, the Japanese shouted the fierce wolf dog and rushed forward and directly bit the fleeing people to death.

Even watching the wolf dog eat human flesh...

Even the traitors of the detective team were frightened.

Later, no one dared to escape.

Without food, even if you can escape, you will die.

Even though I knew the guerrillas were moving four or five miles away from the town.

But he was unable to escape to the place where the guerrillas were active.

I have to comfort myself, it’s better to live without a single life than to die!

Maybe one day the Emperor's Army will give me a favor and may let me go home...

Kondo Shinba is the highest commander of the concentration camp.

I once participated in the Battle of Jinling and my hands were covered with countless blood.

...

It's dawn.

sunrise.

Where the people work in a concentrated manner, there are traitors and puppet troops carrying guns and live ammunition.

Among the people working.

A middle-aged man whispered to the short middle-aged man next to him while hoeing the ground: "I have to find a way to send the news!"

"The second battalion instructor Lao Li is in the western village, but unfortunately there is not enough manpower now."

The skinny middle-aged man handed a brush tube to the younger middle-aged man: "Wait a moment, you lie in the ditch and breathe with the bamboo tube. We cover you with soil..."

"No, you lie in the ditch..."

"This is an order. You have good physical strength. After finding Lao Li, you will ask him to report this situation to his superiors. If this continues, everyone in the town will die!"

A middle-aged man next to him carefully took out more than ten black beans that had been half digested from his horse manure from his close-fitting pocket and handed them to the shorter middle-aged man: "Please take this, and when you leave in the evening, you can't run and put another one into your mouth..."

...

The second battalion instructor Lao Li hid in an abandoned village.

Before dawn, Hu Yi led the team to join the head.

After hearing Lao Li talk about the situation in the town, Hu Yi was shocked.

In just half a year, the situation in Xinglong Town was even more tragic than that of the Japanese in Heishan Baishui.

Finally I understood the reason why the leader was going to the plain for inspection.

He can only execute the orders of the enemy's Ministry of Works now.

After arranging a guard post in the village as required, he led a brigade of people to station in another village five miles south.

The leader stayed in the village behind and listened to Lao Li's report on his work.

The time was not long, and the head's face turned pale: "You can find a way to contact the comrades in the town, and you can't reveal that we have been here! But let them find a way to hold on for another three or four days..."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After saying that, he turned to the secretary who made the record and ordered: "Send a report to the headquarters immediately, and ask the Northern Bureau to convey the actual situation of the plain to northern Shaanxi. At the same time, ask the division to inform the delegations participating in this meeting that must be assembled within three days..."
