Chapter 1181: The Prisoner of War Economy
Because of the lack of food, the Japanese troops stationed in various places almost cut off contact, because what they were most worried about was that once they made contact, the other side began to ask for food, as if they were asking for food.
The little devil also tried to find a way to get food from the Chinese army, but after sending troops out several times, the result was nothing!
Of course, most of the little devils who were sent out now have food and drink, but they don't have freedom!
Hu Guoshan also knew that the Japanese army was almost out of food, and he deliberately set a trap for the little devils! This routine of using food as a trap has been successful repeatedly!
In fact, the little devil has no other choice, people die for money, birds die for food, and now the little devil dies for food! Knowing that there are traps, but they only have food in their eyes, where can they care about what traps are not traps, as long as there is food, there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, and they will also jump in.
The little devils who are responsible for going out of the city to find food are like beggars, as long as they can satisfy their hunger, they will first stuff them into their mouths! As for how much you can get back, it all depends on destiny.
Hu Guoshan also aimed at the problem of the Japanese army's lack of food, constantly seduced the little devils, and today revealed the news that somewhere, in order to supply the troops on the front line, a granary was set up, with more than a dozen tons of rice and white flour!
The little devil never took the time to confirm the truth of the news, and his eyes were green when he heard that there was food!
Using grain as bait, Hu Guoshan received a lot of prisoners here! In fact, the Japanese army has not many options, although the troops are very sufficient, there is no food and no supplies, and no matter how many troops there are, the faster they will be consumed.
Especially the Japanese army in the South Manchurian region, originally their material supply was dependent on the North Manchurian region! Since the occupation of Tonghua, South Manchuria and North Manchuria have been completely separated.
The Japanese troops entrenched in Lushun and Mukden were able to hold out for a while, but the Fushun area was too close to the front line of the Chinese army! There is no need for a plane at all, every move of the little devil is under Hu Guoshan's nose.
Moreover, small units of the Chinese army also frequently appeared in the Fushun area, and Japanese patrols were repeatedly attacked!
In the Fushun area, the Japanese patrols could no longer distinguish which place was a safe area and which was an area patrolled by the Chinese army.
Every few days, the patrol gets into a military clash over something patrolling! A dozen encounters are fought on the merits of firepower.
The Japanese army in Fushun suffered one after another, hoping to get support from Lushun and Mukden! Although the little devils of Lushun and Mukden have a good time, they will also have occasional interruptions.
Let one beggar help another beggar, what will be helped? If you don't rob each other, you can even burn high incense.
Soon after the onset of winter, the Japanese army began to expose all kinds of problems! It's not that they don't want to store grain in advance, it's mainly that the time of the general offensive launched by the Chinese army is in the autumn, and they only care about defense, where can they take care of storing grain!
Moreover, when their commander disappeared, they had always thought that they had a chance to win this war, and just a month ago, many would have thought that by the winter everything would be the same as before, and even they would be able to rise to the next rank by virtue of their exploits.
No one would have thought that now they are being beaten all over the ground by the Chinese army, and even those who stutter are begging everywhere like beggars.
It was very fortunate for the Japanese troops in the city, and the troops defending the positions outside the city were lying on their positions in the cold, and it took a lot of effort to go to the toilet.
Especially at night, the little cold wind blowing in the whirring makes people drip a lot of tears! There can't be a spark on the position yet, once it is seen by the sharp-eyed people in the Chinese army, it is a big meal to greet.
This feast is not the Chinese army inviting you to eat noodles, it is their artillery of various calibers! With the development of the past two years, the caliber of China's artillery has become larger and larger, and even cannons with a caliber of more than 300 millimeters are very common in the troops.
Not to mention the power of the explosion, the sound of these cannons can deafen them!
The little devils don't want to eat such a big meal, their positions are papier-mâché in front of the artillery of the Chinese army, and they can't withstand the blow at all!
However, the cold outside was almost unbearable, and although there were cotton clothes and cotton clothes, the Japanese army still had a lot of frostbite.
The Japanese army, which was coming to an end, began to have problems one after another, especially the problem of internal unity! The troops on the perimeter defense could not stand the cold winter nights and repeatedly asked for a change of defense, but where were the Japanese troops in the city willing?
When some people are enjoying happiness and some are suffering, inequality begins, and where there is oppression, there is resistance, which is also very applicable to little devils.
The escaped little devils did not hesitate to flee in the direction of the Chinese army's position, and the Chinese soldiers were not polite, pinned them to the ground, checked them to make sure that there were no weapons that endangered their own safety, and then put them into custody.
The Japanese soldiers pretended to surrender, but in fact they were full of explosives and *, once they had the opportunity to get close to the Chinese soldiers, they did not hesitate to detonate the bombs on their bodies, and they died together.
In order to ensure their own safety, all units issued orders, and if there were really Japanese troops who voluntarily surrendered, they would not hesitate to strip them naked and inspect them!
Of course, the people who came to surrender were the kind of soldiers who looked like children, who had not experienced much suffering, and who were not as loyal to the Japanese emperor as Japanese veterans.
After a long time, the Chinese soldiers on the position were able to tell from the expressions of the little devils who surrendered whether the Japanese army really surrendered, or had * with another purpose on their bodies.
All those little devils who surrendered had immature expressions on their faces, and they hadn't experienced much! When they saw those Japanese veterans, the soldiers on the position shouted at them, told them to stop twenty meters away, and then asked them to take off their clothes.
For those little devils who shouted twice and did not obey the order, the Chinese soldiers would not hesitate to shoot them to death!
This method has been tried and tested, and although it can sometimes be killed by mistake, the life of a Chinese soldier is more valuable than that of a prisoner.
The Japanese army is also severely punishing deserters, as long as the deserters are caught! They would tie the deserter to a pole and strip him naked in the winter until he starved or froze to death.
The little devils treat anyone cruelly, it seems that there is no word for mercy in their hearts, they not only treat the Chinese people cruelly, but also use cruel means to deal with those thirteen or fourteen soldiers.
Although these half-grown children were crying from the cold, no one dared to persuade the commander to show mercy to their men!
Of course, desertion in any army will be regarded as a shame, but at this time, in the hearts of most little devils, there may really be a way to survive if they escape, and only perseverance is a real dead end.
In fact, the goal of the little devil is no longer just to live, but to be able to die in a warm place, and it is a luxury to have a full meal before death.
People will want some comfort, unless they are forced to be cornered! When the Chinese army was driven by little devils to flee in all directions, at that time, many people's purpose was to die with some dignity.
However, the little devils have never given them a chance to have dignity, and their butcher's knives do not distinguish between men and women, young and old! Now it's the turn of the little devils, they don't want to die with dignity, for those child soldiers, they just want to return to their homeland alive and see their mother.
On the side of the Chinese troops, they will not be given a chance to go back, even if they are only thirteen or fourteen years old! There is no such thing as a free lunch, they have food to eat, and they have to work.
The trains on the front line brought back not only the wounded, but also a large number of prisoners of war!
At this time, the country was building roads on a large scale, and of course there was still a lot of infrastructure that had not been built, and these captives were the best candidates, although they were not physically strong, but two people could still do the work of one person.
It's all free labor, it doesn't cost money, just a bite of food, and most of these foods are rough and stale grains.
Where the construction is dangerous, send a group of prisoners over, as for whether there is a death index, they don't care, Liao Fan's requirement is to repair the road within the specified time, and the quality is passed!
If they fail to meet the requirements, Liao Fan will pursue the person in charge of the project, not the responsibility of those captives! How to use the captives depends on what the person in charge does.
The country still maintains hatred for the little devils, and one out of every five families living in the world has fought with the little devils, and even died on the battlefield.
When faced with your own enemies, it is difficult to maintain your sanity for a long time! Therefore, for these captives, few people want to treat them well, so as long as they don't ask about many things, they can treat them as they want, and as for this kind of thing, it is only when they eat, it is considered a kind of kindness.
The hatred between the two nations has been sown, and no matter who wins or loses this war, the hatred has already crossed between the two peoples!
The sacrifice of tens of millions of nationals cannot be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war after decades of work! Liao Fan didn't plan to let them go back alive, millions of troops could catch up with the population of a small country, if these little devils were put back, it would be millions of laborers.
According to Liao Fan's idea, after this war is over, the little devil will not be given another chance to raise his head! Both economically and politically, the Japanese army must be confined to the island. Only then will they not pose a threat again.
It was also Liao Fan's plan to control the population of that island, and both the military and the economy relied on a large number of laborers.
Of course, this can also solve many problems on your side, such as national construction spending! The treasury is just a decoration, there is not much money in it, so there is not much expenditure, it is different with these prisoners of war, which saves Liao Fan a lot of money, which can be used in any way.
