Chapter 500: Mining and Brainwashing

A few days later, the Heihe base welcomed a large number of "distinguished guests", and more than 2,300 devil captives with their hands tied were escorted to this fortress.

These little devils have dull eyes and dejected heads, as if they are only left with a pair of rotten skins to survive, except that the marching team is relatively neat, and the spirit is not visible at all.

Liao Mingyu didn't say anything polite to them, he pulled all of them to the mine with a wave of his hand, and each person sent a hand-cranked crusher or a pickaxe to finish the job, and the future work was to work in the mining area for free, and two meals a day were the greatest gift to them.

Along with more than 1,000 local laborers and thousands of recruits selected from the POW camps to rejoin the army, the main base was filled in such a way that the Guard Regiment had to set up several camps around it for them to be stationed temporarily.

The laborers also have to work in the mines, but their treatment is much better, with clean houses, clothes, daily necessities, three meals a day, and most importantly, monthly wages.

In addition to accepting military management and restricting a certain amount of freedom, the treatment is much better than those little devils who work for nothing.

Of course, the Japanese prisoners of war and local laborers were managed separately, and the food and housing conditions were very different, the former not only had a greater workload, but also had to do dangerous and tiring tasks such as going down to the mine pit and carrying them, and a little laziness would lead to punches, kicks, or gun butts.

In any case, Liao Mingyu's mine can finally start operating, counting the workers at the base, where there are more than 3,000 miners in total, and the former has also transferred dozens of trucks from the army to facilitate his transportation.

In addition, the guard regiment also sent a battalion of troops to guard over to manage the work of these miners and the devil prisoners of war, so as to avoid incidents such as resistance and escape.

Although there is no large-scale mining equipment now, but the abundant number of people has made up for a certain efficiency, on average, these thousands of people can mine about 35 tons of iron ore every day, which is still not full horsepower, if you don't care about the physical condition of the miners, the output will only be higher.

The truck continuously sends these iron ores back to the main base smelter, which is equivalent to earning about 6,000 points for Liao Mingyu in one day, so that the base station can be built in less than a month.

But there is one thing to say, the military discipline of the little devils really has nothing to say, although they are now prisoners, but their performance in discipline is really textbook, to work at the point to sleep, every time out of the camp the team is always a neat column, just like in the barracks, there is no need for too much management by the guards of the soldiers.

And when you run out of tools, you will be placed in a regular manner, and when you eat, you always sit quietly on the ground in your own area, never making any sound, which makes people who see it feel very surprised, I didn't expect the little devil's "consciousness" to be so high.

In fact, the reason why the prisoners of war were so disciplined was that in addition to being cleaned up a lot in the concentration camp, despair was the biggest weapon to break their inner defenses.

There is no preferential treatment of prisoners here, ideological transformation, etc., if it weren't for Liao Mingyu's order not to be killed, the number of devil prisoners of war would not be the current number.

The bitter and vengeful warriors are eager to drink their blood and eat their flesh... Scraped them alive with a knife to avenge the death of their loved ones and comrades.

Although it is not possible to kill a large number of people, some flesh and skin suffering is inevitable, so with the acquiescence of someone... Or to add fuel to the fire, the "depravity of human nature" is staged every day in the concentration camps.

Every day, the little devil has to be pulled up and stand in a military posture before dawn, and one stand is all morning, and the slightest disobedience is a fat beating on the spot, and then tied up and tied to a tree to bask in the sun.

The others had to stand until noon in exchange for a bowl of gruel and half a steamed bun, and the devils tied to the trees had nothing to eat.

In the afternoon, each of them was given a shovel to dig a big hole, and at first the Japanese refused to cooperate when they thought they were going to be buried alive, but they did so honestly under the threat of big scalp shoes and gun butts.

After digging a big pit, let the devils lie in it by themselves, cover their bodies with a thin layer of soil, and they are not allowed to get up for a while, the purpose is to let them feel the taste of being buried alive.

If anyone dares to resist without self-control, they will be taken directly to the small black house to sit on the tiger chair, what kind of soldering iron, thorn whip, hooded head and water... Learn about the ten tortures, so that if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

Arranged by such a set of procedures, almost every day, more than a dozen devil corpses were transported out of the camp, and the dark life was either tortured or on the way to torture, and the original number of 3,000 prisoners of war directly shrank to more than 2,000, making the hearts of every little devil full of despair.

But despair is despair, as the saying goes... It's better to die than to live, and after being "educated" for a while, the little devils finally became a lot more honest, and they all began to hold their tails and behave, and no one dared to do anything crooked.

Now, compared to the dark days in the concentration camp, life in the mining station is simply paradise, although the workload is very large, but they don't have to live in fear every day, and the amount of food has become more sufficient, and they can rest after working every day, at least they have a reason and hope to live.

Liao Mingyu was not idle, he first asked people to select the weak-willed from the devil captives, or the soldiers who were not firm in their minds and were less affected by the spirit of bushido, and acted as the leader of the self-management and leadership in the prisoners of war, and called these people together every day for unified brainwashing, and also gave them relatively good treatment and food, so that they could be grateful.

Then I picked out all those devil officers with flowers on their shoulders, and cleaned up when they had nothing to do, and threw all the dirty work to them to do, and let other Japanese soldiers bully and insult them.

To be placed in the former Japanese army, those selected "squad leaders" were big soldiers with no status at all, and now the "slaves" have turned over to become masters, and the officers who used to be powerful and powerful have become the targets of random beatings and scolding by their subordinates, coupled with Liao Mingyu's intentional or unintentional carrot stick policy, this change in status completely allows them to let themselves fly and gradually take on their own roles.

Originally... There is a strict distinction of status inherent in the Japanese army, and the subordinates can never go beyond the decisions of the superiors, and the officers who have always been arrogant and strict with their subordinates on weekdays have changed the situation the other way around... Something is going to happen.

These squad leaders gave full play to the role of dogs, not only managing the prisoner of war team in an orderly manner, but also suppressing those who had other ideas, and it is not an exaggeration to call them Japanese traitors.

In addition, Liao Mingyu also arranged for many soldiers who can speak Japanese to act as "instructors", using their free time at night to instill various anti-war ideas and the pain brought by the war to the people of the two countries, especially the current living conditions of the Japanese people, so that these little devils can clearly understand the ugliness of ****.

You must know that most of the Japanese soldiers who can accept surrender are new recruits who have only recently joined the army, or young people who have been lightly mutilated by the bushido spirit, at least they still have a certain chance of reform.

It may be that many prisoners of war are now honest because of high pressure and fear, but as long as this kind of brainwashing psychological offensive is carried out for a long time, some people can definitely become obedient puppets, and at that time, the role played by these people will be beyond imagination...
