I want to be a good person

At the seat of the Restoration Government, a five-color flag was flying on the flagpole.

The Japanese soldiers went crazy and lone ones were often attacked. Many Kuomintang soldiers laid down their guns and hid in the crowd.

"stop."

The Japanese and traitors searched the streets, mainly checking two points: one was the calluses on the hands, and the other was the shoulder-to-shoulder position.

"Good citizen certificate!"

Zhang Aiguo took out his identity card, which was stamped with an official inspection seal.

His hands were carefully examined and he was treated the same as a rickshaw driver.

"you"

All pedestrians were randomly checked, blocking the road from end to end.

"Don't run, stop."

"clap clap"

A man fell in a pool of blood, and a Japanese soldier stepped forward to stab him with a bayonet.

Gunshots rang out and many people squatted down, not knowing what to do. The Japs and traitors were staring at the reactions of the people in the crowd. Their professional dodging movements must have been from soldiers.

It's so damn smart. In a random test, people will subconsciously perform the actions they are most familiar with.

"You, you, and you, stand up."

The traitor pointed at suspicious people one after another, and the Japanese soldiers, holding rifles with bayonets on, had gloomy faces and stared at them like vicious dogs.

There will be no trial, no evidence will be found, and no need to defend yourself. What are human rights?

The Japanese repeatedly advertised that they would treat prisoners well and would not fight against unarmed civilians. This was a typical case of saying one thing and doing another.

"what"

A new recruit was forced by an old soldier to raise his gun, and with trembling hands, he thrust his bayonet into the abdomen of a Chinese soldier.

With a scream, intestines and blood flowed out. Violence was used to create fear and suppress the people's resistance. Some people would succumb to this pressure and even cooperate with the Japanese.

"Yoshi, very good."

The younger Japanese soldier's face turned pale, and the older Japanese soldier patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to continue.

As the second Chinese soldier fell, the Japanese's face turned red and he became much more excited.

"energetic!"

The Japanese sergeant's interest grew even more.

The evil thoughts in their hearts were released, and the new Japanese soldiers turned into beasts. Seeing blood could help the new recruits grow quickly.

When can we step on Mount Fuji? Let our young soldiers satisfy their desire to kill animals and stroke the bow legs of Japanese women!

The Japs blocked a street in sections, like locusts.

"My compatriots! Let go of your resentment. It is the government that has abandoned you. Do not try to resist anymore. For you, the war is over. The Locust Army treats the prisoners well!"

"The locust army promised that as long as the refugees were willing to stay, they would be given jobs, and those who returned home would be given travel expenses. Officials at all levels of the reformist government were willing to act as guarantors."

"My compatriots! Believe in the Chinese! Please believe us! The Locust Army is here for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and our promise is valid!"

Several trucks turned on their loudspeakers and played music non-stop, tempting the soldiers who had laid down their weapons to stand up.

There were a few Japanese soldiers on the truck, smiling and greeting the people passing by.

Chinese people are still willing to trust other Chinese people and the government. Success studies, pyramid schemes, fraud and other means are constantly challenging the bottom line. Anyone who believes in them will be fooled, and it will all be the same.

Several soldiers stood up so as not to implicate ordinary people.

Zhang Aiguo watched them register and get on the truck. They were just pretending. The Japanese devils were more vicious than the Chinese people could imagine.

"Jia Bisheng, Gao Deli?"

Zhang Aiguo saw two familiar people, who seemed to be injured.

We can't just sit there and watch them die. What credibility does a traitorous government have?

Those who believed in it are dead, and the collapsed credibility is worse than having no credibility at all.

"If you gain, you will rise."

Zhang Aiguo walked past the two of them and muttered twice in a low voice.

The two of them paused. The voice was familiar. They had always wanted to follow the leader, but it was a pity.

The machine guns did not even have the chance to be blown up. The trucks were pulled by the officers to transport other supplies, and were carried away by the fleeing soldiers, moving a thousand meters away.

The two men reached out their hands and grabbed a soldier each, without saying a word, motioning for them to follow.

Zhang Aiguo walked and stopped, and when he came to a ruin, four people followed him.

I was so excited that I subconsciously wanted to salute.

"Stop, stop, what time is it?"

While hiding under a gable, one has to pay attention to the movements around him.

"Commander, your face?"

"We'll talk later. Follow me first and find a safe place."

After walking a few steps, Zhang Aiguo noticed that the four people looked very weak, but they were not injured, and he felt relieved.

"Didn't you have dinner?"

"We mixed in with the refugees and only had a bowl of porridge a day."

"You have worked hard."

"There are only four of us left now. The rest of the brothers were killed in action."

"No one collected the bodies of our brothers, so they were left to lie exposed in the wilderness."

"Either we are thrown into the river or doused with gasoline and burned. The dead cannot be resurrected. We must live on for our dead brothers."

Listening to the brothers' helplessness and bitterness, no matter how much I said, I was in tears.

"Are there any more weapons?"

"I threw them all away when I blended in with the people. I didn't even keep the dagger."

If the commander-in-chief and senior generals had not fled in advance, the soldiers would have the confidence to complete a desperate fight with the enemy, even if it meant sacrificing their lives and blood. Unfortunately, there is no if.

The random large-scale inspections by the Japanese brought more pressure to the refugees in the city, and it was difficult for veterans to hide among ordinary people.

More and more officers and soldiers choose to come forward and actively reveal their military identities.

"You guys hide here first and stay out of the spotlight."

"Thank you, Commander!"

Back in the garden room, my tense heart finally relaxed.

Put food in the kitchen. Rice, flour and oil are enough. Food was a quasi-currency in the war years and a reference for prices. It was used in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the Japanese-occupied areas and the liberated areas.

"Commander, your face?"

"this?"

Gao Deli and Jia Bisheng looked at each other, nodded, and confirmed their glances with the other two people.

Gao Deli said, "Commander, the four of us have survived a great disaster, but the brothers still like to follow you and treat you as human beings."

Zhang Aiguo took out a box of Lao Dao cigarettes and threw them on the table along with the matches.

After a while, everyone was puffing out smoke.

"What are your plans? Are you going back to the army or back to your hometown?"

"Commander, I don't want to be a soldier anymore. After this battle, I've finally seen clearly that officers are afraid of death and don't treat the soldiers as human beings. It's meaningless."

"Yes, Commander. We didn't know when we were retreating. When we were running, even the trucks were taken away by them, and the machine guns couldn't be towed."

"They treat each other differently, and they all want to use others to fill the gap."

"Commander, we're going to do what you say."

Jia Bisheng finally expressed the four people's thoughts.

"I was transferred to a new position. My name is Zhen Renyi. On the way to take up my new position, I was ambushed and injured. I faked my death to escape."

"Commander, it's the man named Zhen who's here to pick peaches!"

"Do you want us to go back and find a chance to kill him?"

"No, our country suffered from internal strife. If it weren't for the Central Plains War, the parties would have suffered huge military and economic losses. Do you think that the little Japan dared to invade? It's because we exposed our weaknesses."

"Then let him go?"

"Now is the time to resist foreign aggression. This is what is important. As long as we fight the devils, personal grudges are nothing."

Gao Deli and Jia Bisheng are both professionally trained and know the ins and outs of this. None of the superiors are magnanimous enough, so faking death is the only way out.

It's not that the officers and soldiers of the National Army were afraid to die. The root cause was that their superiors had deep personal grudges, were self-centered, and behaved in a gangster manner, which made it difficult for military operations to succeed.

The public only sees the bright and shiny side but fails to see the sneaky deals going on behind the scenes.

"You guys take care of your health first, we still have to fight the devils next."

Four Type 94 pistols and bullets were placed on the table, along with five Type 97 grenades. It was a strange design that if you wanted to throw them, you would have to hit your head first.

Zhang Aiguo went out, hid in the dark and observed for a long time before leaving quietly.

If you are not careful, you may be easily counterattacked.

Hey, when did you start to distrust your compatriots? They are brothers and sisters!
