"Have you heard? The little devil said that as long as we pay the military rations in advance, we can reduce the share that should be paid by 30%! ”

"Have you heard? The Imperial Army has issued a notice......"

"The imperial army said that if you pay the military rations in advance, you will be obedient to the people, and you will get a lot of preferential treatment, but if you don't pay them, it will be regarded as stubborn resistance to the end - when the time comes, not only will we need to double the payment of military rations, but we will also be held accountable for the crime of forming a group with the detachment before and causing heavy casualties to the imperial army......

"What's the matter with you guys? The imperial army of the imperial army, the traitor is called the little devil imperial army...... No matter what tricks the little devil plays, we should unswervingly support the detachment, fight the little devil to the end, and we can't give in to death! ”

"What do you kid know? Do you think that as long as you are patriotic, you support the detachment? ”

"Yes, everyone is also patriotic and wants to support the detachment - but haven't you noticed that now that the little devils have captured Pingtongguan, the detachment's base has been completely blocked by the little devils...... We just can't win! ”

"As long as we can win, even if there is only one in 10,000 hope, we will definitely work with the detachment to fight to the end with the little devil, Lao Tzu is dead and there is a son, and the son is dead and the grandson is on top - but the key is that we can't win, there is no chance at all......"

"yes, you have to find a way to live, you can't all die with the detachment, right?"

"There is hope when you are alive, and when you die, then there is really nothing......"

As the Japanese army's notices were posted in various places, such rumors began to ferment continuously, from initially only being transmitted in the guerrilla areas, and finally gradually spreading to the base areas!

For a while, people were panicked!

Not to mention the ordinary people, even the activists who most firmly supported the detachment gradually began to feel uneasy, refuting the private discussions of the villagers, and constantly reiterating the belief that the detachment would win, but secretly, they were also thinking about whether to leave a way out for themselves first......

As the villagers discussed, the battle must be fought, but in the end, it is still necessary to live......

"Although there is panic among the people in the base areas, the overall situation is still under control, but the situation in the guerrilla areas is not so optimistic......

Ke Langzi Ren Haifang and others reported with ugly faces: "Although there has never been a situation of secretly colluding with the Japanese invaders, betraying the guerrillas, or underground liaisons, it has become a common phenomenon for the villagers to deliberately avoid or pretend not to know when they meet our personnel team......

"These damn guys!"

Hearing these situations, Wang Lao Gui Shiyuan Thin Monkey and the others smashed the table with hatred, and scolded angrily: "These people don't know what they think in their hearts - those written in the announcement of the little devils are clearly the divisive schemes that children understand, and they want to divide the relationship between our detachment and them, why can't they understand it?" ”

"That's it!"

Wang Changtian and others also said: "The fundamental purpose of the little devil doing this is to disintegrate the strength of our detachment, which is just an expedient measure - once our detachment is gone, do they still think that the little devil will really do what they said in the announcement?" Only when the detachment is there, the little devils don't dare to mess around too much, if there is no detachment, no one can have good fruit to eat...... Why can't they figure it out? ”

"Actually, the thoughts of the folks are understandable!"

Kang Ting waved his hand to make everyone quiet down a little, and then he spoke: "You have all seen that the chairman of the committee has worked hard for nearly two years, and the Pingtongguan with nearly 100,000 soldiers can't stop the attack of the little devils, how many people are there in our detachment?" More than 100,000 people can't hold Pingtongguan, so why should the detachment hold it?

Rather than hugging and dying with the detachment, it is better to leave a way back for yourself first, after all, the detachment was defeated, and the villagers still have to live and live...... So, what those folks are doing now, I think I can understand and accept ......," Kang said.

"Lao Kang, I don't like to hear what you say!"

Wang Changtian, Wang Laogui and everyone else refuted when they heard this: "According to what you say, it should be enough for both sides to curry favor with the wall?" If that's the case, we're still a fart in this battle, and whoever gives more benefits will end up with whom?

We are fighting this battle not for the sake of profit, but for the sake of the country and the nation!

If there is a benefit, we will fight, if there is no benefit, we will still fight, we must still not be afraid of bloodshed, not afraid of sacrifice, only in this way can our country and nation have a future! ”

A group of people were impassioned, and the three sentences did not leave the righteousness of the family and the country, and they were loud and clear.

If it weren't for everyone who knew the roots, I'm afraid it would be hard to believe that more than a year ago, these people were still a group of people who couldn't read a lot of big words, and they were all worried about their own one-third of an acre of land every day......

Listening to everyone's words, Zhang Ran was very pleased, because from the words of these people, he could be sure that they had truly changed from a common man to a group of patriotic soldiers!

No matter how difficult the environment is, they do not abandon it, do not give up, and stick to their beliefs!

But now, at the moment of the great enemy, it is far from enough to just insist!

"Everyone, be quiet, listen to me!"

Zhang Ran asked everyone to be quiet, and looked at Wang Lao and the thin monkey and the others: "I can understand your feelings - you must think that when our detachment was strong enough in the past, the villagers followed us, but now seeing that the situation of our detachment is not right, they ran to the little devil's side to curry favor in every way, so they feel like they have been deceived and betrayed, right?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Wang Laogui, Wang Changtian and others nodded, this is their truest thought.

"Can't say that!"

Zhang Ran said: "You must always remember that the villagers follow our detachment and follow the Eighth Route Army, what is the picture!"

The country, the nation, and the belief are understandable, because each of us has seen our comrades-in-arms fight for these and spill their blood on this land!

We live, we fight, not just to live for ourselves, but to live and fight with the unfulfilled legacy of the martyrs – so we know better than anyone the weight of these things in the faith of the country and the nation, and we are willing to do anything for it!

But not the folks!

They follow us and support us because they know that if they follow us and support us, they will have a good life!

If they are desperately supporting us, shedding blood and tears, only to usher in a worse outcome, then why should they support us? They have never seen their friends and relatives shed the same blood and sacrifice as our soldiers, so everything they want is to live a little better, even if it is just a little better than before, they do not have the persistence of us as long as they do not die, they must continue to move forward, nor do they have the foresight of ours...... Therefore, I agree with Vice Captain Kang's words and understand what those villagers are doing......"

Hearing this, Wang Lao Gui Skinny Monkey and the others were all silent.

They knew that what Zhang Ran said was right, so many people couldn't all be the same as themselves!

"Captain......

Li opened his mouth and said: "I know what you said is reasonable, but what we are discussing now is not a question of right or wrong at all, what we are discussing is how to do it - if we continue to tolerate those villagers who are not determined to continue to fight twice, I am afraid that the mass foundation that we have built with so much blood and life over the past year or so will be destroyed because of this......

"yes!"

Wang Laogui and others also said: "The reason why our detachment is strong is not because of how many people we have and how many guns, but because everyone around us is supporting our detachment......

Of course, Zhang Ran knows this in his heart!

It's just that he knows better that this matter must not be handled according to what everyone thinks!

Whether it's killing chickens and monkeys, or suppressing the villagers who secretly look at the little devils as traitors, it won't work!

This is a matter of life and death, and to deal with it by such simple and crude means, the detachment will not gain anything except to cause a greater backlash!

The greater the pressure, the stronger the resistance, and this is not just words!

This is a fact that has been proven by countless bloody histories!
