Chapter 136: It's Time to Have a Base
Zhou He had mentioned this 10,000 years to Liu Cheng before, but at that time, Liu Cheng was busy going to Xinjing to get diesel and had no time, so he forgot about it later.
If it weren't for Wan Danian today, Liu Cheng would really be capsized in the gutter.
After the Japanese occupied the northeast, they built many of these turrets, all of which were cement masonry structures with strong defensive power, and the guerrilla fighters who died in those years in order to attack the turrets can be described by the words "countless".
The reason why Liu Cheng chose these two turrets as targets this time was also to be able to find an effective method, after all, this kind of turret will be their preferred target for a long time in the future.
The devil's turret is generally divided into two floors, and there will be a kang on the first floor, as well as a stove, which is where the devil eats and sleeps.
There are generally no stairs in the turrets, and most of them are made of steel embedded in the walls for people to climb up and down, (similar to the ladders on the exterior walls of the old buildings).
There is a circle of wings about half a meter at the top, and there is a firing port, which can be used as a fire point for the third layer, and it is also an absolute commanding height.
Therefore, this kind of fortification was definitely a nightmare for the guerrillas with backward weapons and low combat effectiveness during the Anti-Japanese War years.
But in order to get the food and weapons inside, they had to choose such an almost suicidal attack method to attack the devil's turret again and again.
Taking these two turrets means controlling Wudou Township, which is also a happy event for Liu Cheng and the Youth Battalion.
A Japanese detachment, more than 20 puppet troops, and in the end, only seven puppet troops surrendered alive.
Liu Cheng didn't want to kill them, after all, they were also Chinese, and they were just soldiers, which was not a great crime.
However, in this situation, Liu Cheng couldn't let them go, so he had to let them be locked up first, and wait for the situation in Wudou Township to stabilize.
ended the turret and killed the devil, even if he controlled Wudou Township, but it was not so simple to stabilize the situation.
The Japanese have been in Wudou Township for nearly two years, and there will inevitably be their eyeliner among the people in the township, which family has relatives from other countries, which family has sharpened their knives, and which family has hidden a shotgun, all of which are the "tasks" that these people need to report to the devils.
In addition, the popularity of the "Red Party" and "Guerrillas" at that time was not so high.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Cheng took Wang Qingshan and several soldiers into the township, and went door to door to inform the people that the devils had been eliminated by them, and at the same time to understand who were the devils' eyes, and the relationship between those landlords and old wealth in the township and the devils.
But after walking around, Liu Cheng felt a little angry in his heart.
Only about 30% of the people have a friendly attitude towards them, and the rest are either indifferent or simply scolded:
"When the devil sends someone again, don't you fucking want to run?!"
What's more, they simply didn't even let the door in, pointing their noses and telling them to roll.
Liu Cheng had experienced a similar situation in his previous life, but when he faced it again, his heart was even more uncomfortable and sad than in his previous life.
Although he knew that the reason why these people did this, most of them were cowardly and ignorant, thinking that if they were obedient, they would be able to live well.
In the face of this situation, language has no big effect, either to defeat the Japanese completely, or to wait for them to wake up after they really realize the cruelty and tyranny of the devils.
Liu Cheng chose the latter.
He doesn't have that ability now, and he won't have it in the future.
This war belongs to all the Chinese people, not his own Liu Cheng, even if he has three heads and six arms plus a white possession, he can't kill all the Japanese.
Although the attitude of most of the people is not very friendly, Liu Cheng still has to do what needs to be done.
Excluding the sacrificed soldiers, there were still eighty-three people left in the three platoons, and Liu Cheng ordered them to take turns to stand guard in the turret, and when they were not standing guard, they would go to the people's homes to help do some work and improve the relationship with the people.
Of course, the most important thing is to let the people know about the Red Party and understand what these fighters are fighting for!
Whose life is life, which soldier is born and raised by his parents, the one who pops out of the crack in the stone is called Sun Wukong, don't always have an expression of "you owe Lao Tzu".
In this era, life and death are not up to oneself, and the common people have no guns in their hands, and even if they do, few people dare to stand up and resist.
Greed for life and fear of death is a very demeaning term for soldiers, but for ordinary people, it is called instinct.
Except for those with psychological or spiritual problems, no one wants to die no matter how miserable they are, so Liu Cheng will not look down on anyone because of this.
It's just that he hopes that these people can understand that they are now taking their lives to fight with devils, not for themselves, but for the 40,000,000 ordinary people in China to live like people, instead of being enslaved like livestock like now!
In fact, Liu Cheng is not a person who is not good at words, on the contrary, the tongue and lotus are a little inappropriate to describe him.
Otherwise, how could he drag a disabled body from a stall to a boss in his previous life?
But he didn't want to explain it to the people one by one, because they wouldn't believe it and wouldn't understand!
Of course, this is not to blame the people, it is the long-term turmoil and the ongoing war that have caused them to lose trust in the man with the gun in his hand.
In their opinion, the guerrillas are no different from those warlords, except that they are more worn and poorly fed, let alone relieve them, and even filling their stomachs is a problem.
Therefore, the common people naturally do not believe in them easily, not because they do not believe in their original intentions, but because they do not believe in their abilities.
The common people are thinking in their hearts: these people are just staying here temporarily, and when the Japanese find out about what is going on here, they send troops to fight, and these people pat their butts and run away, and they will suffer again.
Therefore, just saying it has no effect, and the most effective way to win the trust of the people is to show them!
Liu Cheng hadn't slept for a few days, and had been observing and surveying the geographical location and environmental conditions of Wudou Township everywhere.
Now they are no longer called guerrillas, but youth battalions, and Liu Cheng does not plan to run around the mountains with his troops anymore.
He wants to find a place to stabilize and establish his own small base area, and the most important point is the terrain advantage, which must be attacked, retreated, and defended, and must not run away as soon as the devils come, in that case, they will never be able to win the support of the people.
At the same time, some necessary means still need to be used, such as killing people!
