Chapter 581: Demonstration of Common People's Confidence
Anyway, in the last few strongholds occupied by the Japanese army, except for traitors, there were no ordinary people at all. As for those traitors, since they were determined to follow the Japanese, what way was left for them to survive? As for the retreat to the power plant in the north of the city, they were worried about the power plant equipment.
It is safe, but the more than 100 Japanese troops who cannot be solved for the time being are besieged for the time being, and we will wait until the bulk of them are solved.
Wang Jun mobilized heavy artillery troops to enter the city to participate in the battle. Another function was to strengthen those who, although they were not yet involved in the war, were frightened by the previous intensive gunfire and explosions. But in addition to worrying about being accidentally injured by artillery fire and bullets,
And being captured by the Japanese and used as human shields. The people who were more worried that the Anti-Japanese Alliance would not be able to stand in Tongliao and would be driven out by the Japanese had a little confidence.
The common people had no confidence in the Anti-League and were worried that even if the Anti-League could capture Tongliao City, they would not be able to stand and would be driven away by the Japanese and would be retaliated against. They also did not understand the Anti-League and thought they were really just like the propaganda in the Japanese and puppet newspapers.
Red Beard. Although the Anti-Japanese Alliance has uniforms, but no heavy weapons, no one would believe that you are an army.
Besides, what you are talking about is the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and it is not the National Army or the Northeastern Army of the Marshal. Who knows who you are? Northern Manchuria is too far away from Tongliao, and coupled with the long-term information blockade by the Japanese and puppets, even if
The Anti-Japanese Alliance reached Nanxing'an, and the people did not have any understanding of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
They didn't understand each other, which led to a estrangement. In addition, the Anti-Japanese Alliance did not bring any heavy equipment into the city except for tanks and some small-caliber direct-aimed artillery in order not to accidentally injure the people. This gave the people in Tongliao the same impression as the volunteers.
.So no matter how many political workers are mobilized, they just refuse to contribute, even to lead the way.
The few young students who knew something about the Anti-Japanese War and wanted to lead the way were prevented from doing so by their parents. After the troops entered the city, not only did the wounded have to be placed in the open air until the battle was over, they were even given hot water to drink.
They can't drink, let alone other things. And the reason why this happens to ordinary people cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
At that time, hundreds of thousands of well-equipped Northeastern troops were running away and falling. The rising volunteer army seemed to be huge, but it was dispersed within a few days. The Japanese army also strictly implemented the continuous defeats in recent years.
Secrecy. In newspapers throughout the Japanese-occupied Northeast, there was only news about the so-called bandit suppression campaign in North Manchuria promoted by the Japanese army, and how many glorious victories they had achieved, and there was absolutely no news about any failures.
In addition, although Tongliao City has developed transportation, it is not one of those big cities with good information and is still relatively remote. Therefore, except for a few caring people, most people generally lack trust in these anti-Japanese forces who suddenly entered the city.
Many people even directly regarded them as the red-bearded men who looted the communist wives in the Japanese and puppet propaganda.
The most important thing is that you keep saying that you are the people's own team, the Chinese people's own team, and you are here to save the people. But you either lost the battle or, like the previous teams that claimed to be anti-Japanese, after you raised enough food and wages,
, pat your butt and leave, can the people whose families and property are here escape?
After the Japanese come back, will they be able to spare the people who helped you? And those guys in your hands, who don't even have a cannon, can they really defeat the Japanese? Wasn't the volunteer army huge in those days? There were tens of thousands of people at every turn, but
The little devil fired two cannons on the railway and was wiped out in a few days.
Even though the tanks of the Anti-Japanese Alliance have entered the city, the common people do not know what a tank is. At most, they think it is nothing but an iron lump that can run. What they recognize is how many guns you have, whether you have a cannon, and whether you have a cannon.
To some extent, these are things that ordinary people still understand and recognize. Tanks, high-tech gadgets like airplanes, are too unfamiliar to ordinary Chinese people.
What Guo Jie said was right. After the September 18th Incident, the people in the city had long lost confidence in driving away the Japanese. They could even be said to have become numb. In addition, after the Anti-Japanese Alliance invaded the city,
Artillery has never been used in combat. In the eyes of ordinary people, your equipment is useless without artillery.
Back then, the equipment was so good that even the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the Northeastern Army stationed in Kailu surrendered without a fight. How could you, with your few guns from the Anti-Japanese Alliance, be able to defeat the Japanese? I'm afraid it's still like the Volunteer Army back then.
In the pass, it didn't take long for the heads of the leaders to be hung on the city wall. If you can't fight and run away, what will the common people do? The little devils don't look good at killing people. If you leave, the common people will be unlucky.
As for the previous battles on the north bank of the West Liao River, for the Chinese people who have always believed that hearing is false and seeing is believing, as long as they have not seen it with their own eyes, they will naturally not know that the Chinese equipment will be superior to the Kwantung Army. They can defeat them.
He was so powerful in his eyes that he boasted in the Puppet Manchukuo newspaper all day long about how many Japanese troops he had defeated and beat them to pieces.
If the Chinese really have the ability to defeat the Japanese, why are most of China occupied by others? They have been disappointed for too long, and people's hearts have become cold. Compared with the strength that the Anti-Japanese Alliance has not yet shown, the common people
What is even more worrying is the ensuing Japanese retaliation.
Under the tight blockade of the Japanese, the people in Tongliao City did not know how powerful the Anti-Japanese Alliance was. But they knew how many methods the Japanese used to kill people. In the wolf-dog pen of the Japanese Gendarmerie at the South Gate, that
How many people are you going to throw into the moon? Those Japanese wolves and dogs eat human food. When you see Chinese people on the street, their eyes will turn red.
Years of high pressure and a precarious life have completely numbed the people's nerves. They have given up hope that they can escape from the cruel rule of the Japanese. Year after year, Master Nanwang gets nothing.
It's a complete disappointment.
Apart from guns, which are familiar to them, what really convinces the common people are cannons. After all, the Northeastern Army also had cannons before, and although the common people don't know what it is about, they do.
None of them are unfamiliar.
As for the power, the thicker the barrel, the better. Isn’t it true that the thicker the barrel of the general cannon of the Qing Dynasty, the farther it can hit? Other tanks, airplanes, how powerful do ordinary people know how powerful those things are?
From the perspective of ordinary people, the more cannons you have and the thicker the barrels, the stronger your team will be.
Guns are familiar to most people in the Northeast. Before the September 18th Incident, the overall situation in the Northeast was relatively stable compared with the areas where warlords were fighting in Guan Nei. However, the number of bandits in the Northeast was almost the largest in the country.
Due to the influence of the crown, the number of private firearms in the entire Northeast is definitely one of the best in the country.
Not only the Northeast Army, police, rich people, and big landowners have guns, but also many ordinary people have guns at home. Even before the September 18th Incident, there was a specialized and very popular industry in Tongliao City, which was specialized in repairing guns.
Guns and those who make native guns. There used to be a Northeastern Army's armory in Tongliao City. People with good hands and eyes could buy guns there for a little money.
In the Northeast, bullets can be openly traded like opium, and can even be used as semi-circulating currency. Of course, this is the same throughout China, and the Northeast is just one of the more typical examples. But the guys in the hands of the Northeast people were not from the customs.
Those wealthy people can compare.
The ubiquity of guns and their familiarity with guns make the people here think that having more guns is nothing. No matter how many guns you have, how many guns do the Japanese have? Before the September 18th Incident, the guns circulated among the people in the Northeast, Japan
There are quite a few people who make golden hook rifles and 38 caps. Not only do they have the ability to arm themselves with a powerful army, but they also have the ability to export to China. Do you, the Anti-Japanese Alliance, have this ability?
These Japanese-made guns, along with water rifles and box guns, are the most numerous guns owned by civilians in the Northeast. On the contrary, Hanyang-made guns that are more circulated in the customs are not used by anyone in the wealthy Northeast. Only the most unlucky ones
Only bad bandits and poor hunters use these old gadgets.
For really wealthy families, those who care for their homes or care for their homes may use high-end goods made in the Czech Republic or Belgium. The last ones are Japanese-made golden hook rifles and 38-inch caps. Compared with the more expensive Czech and Belgian products,
The cheap Japanese-made golden hook rifles and 38-inch caps, as well as the water rifles flowing out of the hands of White Russians who retreated to the northeast, are more abundant because of their cheaper prices.
Before the Eighth Army of the Anti-Japanese Army launched the army, he had two pistols, four golden hook rifles, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at home, and he was just a landowner in Yilan. In terms of land area
His wealth and wealth are not even average in the Northeast. But just such a landowner has six guns in his hands.
The commander of the Anti-Japanese Army who first resisted Japan and then surrendered to the enemy relied on the collection of civilian guns collected in the Tulong Mountain area during the riots to arm thousands of troops in a short period of time. He also fought many victorious battles.
He also killed Colonel Iizuka Chaogo, known as the father of the Manchuria Pioneer Regiment.
And this is just the Tulong Mountain area in the eastern mountainous area of Yilan. So many guns and ammunition have been obtained. The number of guns in the entire Northeast can be imagined. At the beginning of the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance ministries, most of the sources of weapons came from collecting private guns. The Japanese
After the September 18th Incident, in order to suppress the resistance of the Chinese people and cut off the source of weapons and ammunition for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, private firearms were confiscated many times, numbering hundreds of thousands.
It is precisely because the number of civilian guns is too large and the people are familiar with it. Therefore, the people think that the number of guns you have does not mean anything, and it is no different from the powerful and bearded people who roamed the Northeast in the past. In the eyes of most people, the number of guns means nothing.
You are truly powerful. With cannons, you are an army, which truly represents your strength. If not, then you have a beard.
Although the common people's senses have lagged behind the trend of world weapons and equipment development, after all, this is China, which is poor, backward, and relatively closed in most areas. When looking at the strength of an army, one still relies on one's own feelings.
That is, what they can understand, what is most intuitive, and what they all understand.
Wang Jun, who was worried that it would cause innocent casualties to the people in the city and did not mobilize artillery into the city to join the battle, probably never thought about his decision at all. Coupled with the propaganda and threats of the Japanese and puppets, the people did not have much confidence in the resistance to the alliance.
.It also caused difficulties for the Anti-Japanese Alliance in finding guides and having no one to carry the wounded after entering the city, and even affected the troops' operations.
Wang Jun mobilized these two heavy artillery pieces into the city. Although they didn't know how powerful these two large-caliber artillery pieces were, looking at the thick barrels, the common people's understanding of the Anti-League Alliance was obviously improved. After all,
Those who have strength these days are the real masters.
The Northeastern Army was powerful, but Huzi did not dare to stay in one place, nor did he dare to attack larger counties. The Japanese were powerful, and they drove away the Northeastern Army and established Manchukuo. What you keep saying is the Anti-Alliance, is it?
You are here to save the people of Northeast China, so fine, show your strength and see.
