In the deepest barren depression of the Yellow River estuary, the grass is green, the wilderness is vast, foxes and rabbits are infested, gulls and herons are gathered; Vast reeds, clusters of tamarisk forests, tall cattails, and dots of Luobuma are continuous, and the chirping waterfowl hover, take off, and frolic from time to time......

-- The Yellow River Delta, where rivers and seas meet, is reckless and vibrant.

On the humble beds of the field hospital of the Eighth Route Army Military Region, the Japanese devils who were wounded and captured in the breakthrough battle of Huangcaopo have undergone surgery and are dying tied to the hospital bed.

However, this stubborn fellow, who had been washed away by the spirit of bushido, was extremely stubborn in his mind, and although he had undergone a timely operation that saved his life, his resistance was still great. As a last resort, in order to prevent the ghost soldier from harming himself again, the doctors and nurses tied his limbs to the bed with strips of cloth.

“…… Die...... Die! ”

As soon as the devil soldier came to his senses, he immediately beat his spirits, stared at his blood-red eyes, and struggled hard, while gritting his teeth and screaming weakly.

At this time, Guo Jianping, chief of the enemy engineering section of the military region, walked into the ward in a flash, and because he knew a little Japanese, he was specially ordered to come to do the education and transformation work of the devil soldiers.

Guo Jianping seized every opportunity to constantly care for him in his daily life, and at the same time used the actual actions of our army to give preferential treatment to prisoners, and also listed the bloody facts of the burning, killing, and looting committed by the Japanese invaders against the Chinese people, and educated and persuaded him. After a period of time, in the face of the facts they had heard and witnessed, the captured devil soldiers were finally completely moved after deep reflection, and then their thinking also changed significantly. He confessed: His name is Ikeichiro, and he is a Japanese high-ranking soldier.

Not long after, our Eighth Route Army in northern Shandong captured two Japanese soldiers one after another: one was named Matsuki, a military Cao, and the other was named Nakano, who was also a first-class soldier.

When Matsuki and Nakano were first captured, they were also very hostile to Ikegami, just like the previous Ikegami. Gradually, through unremitting propaganda and education, their ideological consciousness has changed greatly: they resolutely expressed their determination to stand with the Chinese people and oppose the war of aggression launched by the Japanese militarists and chaebols.

Soon after, in the barracks of the military region's station, also during the most difficult period of the war, the Lubei Japanese People's Anti-War League branch was established in the northern district of Lijin Prefecture, Matsuki was elected as the branch chief, and Nakano was appointed as the deputy branch chief.

They solemnly swore that they would work with the Eighth Route Army with one heart and one mind, through thick and thin, through weal and woe, and resolutely fight to the end against the Japanese warlords, the common enemy of the Chinese and Japanese peoples, and never waver! The meeting also adopted the propaganda program of the Anti-War League branch and the "Letter to Japanese Soldiers."

After the establishment of the branch of the Japanese People's Anti-War League, it played an extremely special and positive role in the work of launching a political offensive and disintegrating the enemy army.

The branch of the Japanese People's Anti-War League compiled and produced all kinds of propaganda materials in a targeted manner to carry out propaganda against the enemy, shake the morale of the army, and weaken its fighting spirit. Since they are all written by the members of the branch themselves, all kinds of propaganda materials are not only pertinent and timely, but also the Japanese grammar standards are closely related to the current reality, which is vivid and powerful, and easy to understand and simple to understand.

The branch of the Anti-War League also took advantage of the homesickness and war-weariness of the Japanese soldiers, and focused on compiling hometown tunes such as "Homesick Song" to stimulate the soldiers' anti-war sentiment. Among them, members of the Anti-War League branch also used their personal experience to publicize the Eighth Route Army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, and exposed the so-called lie that "if the Eighth Route is caught, he will be killed"; In addition, by constantly sending Japanese condolence letters to the Japanese puppet strongholds, he warned the Japanese soldiers not to become enemies of the kind Chinese and not to bury their lives in vain for the interests of the Japanese warlords and chaebols. All these various forms of propaganda have achieved good results.

With the active participation of the branch of the Japanese People's Anti-War League, the work of the political department of the Lubei Military Region on the enemy army has opened up new fields, made it colorful, flexible, and diverse, and more fruitful.
