Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

When Yumiko Watanabe and the villagers reached their destination breathlessly, the scene before them made them stand there in a daze.

They thought they could find a peaceful and tranquil settlement, but what appeared before them was clearly a huge "human circle".

The settlement is surrounded by a wall made of tightly packed thick logs. Each log looks rough and solid, like an insurmountable barrier.

Next to the main gate, there is a three-story wooden bunker with soldiers standing guard with machine guns!

Outside the wall is a two-meter-deep trench with steep and smooth walls, as if cut by a sharp blade.

The accumulated water in the trench glowed with a faint green light and emitted a pungent smell that made people feel chilled.

Beside the trench, a cold barbed wire fence flickered dimly in the afterglow of the setting sun. The wires crisscrossed, forming a huge and tight net, with some sharp barbs hanging on it, as if warning anyone who tried to get close.

The entire settlement is like a cage of imprisonment, isolating the people inside from the outside world.

There was only one number painted on the door: 13! No other markings!

The heavy footsteps became clearer amidst the creaking sound of the wooden gate opening, and the villagers dragged their exhausted bodies and filed into the settlement.

What comes into view is a row of neatly arranged wooden houses, which emit a warm color in the afternoon sun and look sturdy and comfortable.

The windows of the wooden house are bright and clean, and there is a faint smoke rising from the chimney, as if silently telling of the comfort inside.

But when the villagers learned from the leader that this row of beautiful-looking wooden houses was specially prepared for the police, the fire of hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished.

Yumiko Watanabe and her family of four arrived at the place where they were assigned. It was just an empty lot covered with weeds, surrounded by rubble and dead branches and leaves.

The ground was bumpy and there were small puddles formed by accumulated water, which sparkled coldly in the sunlight.

The family looked at each other, their eyes filled with despair and helplessness. They had come here after a bumpy journey, but the reality was so cruel.

Soon, suppressed sobs were heard from the crowd. First, a woman squatted on the ground, holding her head with her hands, her shoulders shaking violently, and tears falling to the ground.

Soon, more and more people joined in, and the cries echoed in the empty settlement. It was an accusation against the unfairness of fate and a lament for the confused future.

Hearing the crying, several policemen ran over, waving sticks in their hands and shouting loudly!

Yumiko Watanabe saw that several Japanese policemen in front were waving thick and long wooden sticks and beating up several crying civilians!

The rest of the people were immediately frightened into silence and dared not say a word anymore.

"Hurry up and build your own house, don't waste time here!" Inoue Beiwei shouted loudly!

In the wooden house,

On the table, there is a bottle of white wine and two wine glasses.

There was also a pot of steaming hot stewed pork with radish and two opened cans of luncheon meat!

Guo Congmin and a policeman sat face to face, and they drank wine leisurely!

"Xiao Wang, you must never treat these Japanese devils as human beings. What they have suffered today is retribution!" When saying this, tears flashed in Guo Congmin's eyes, as if he remembered something!

This little Wang is called Wang Lei, and he is also Guo Congmin's subordinate. In the entire settlement No. 13, there are only two Haizhou policemen and six Filipino soldiers living in the bunker at the door!

"Director, are you thinking about the past again?"

Guo Congmin is the director of Residential Settlement No. 13, responsible for overall administration and police affairs!

"Hehe, I once lived in the Japanese circle for more than three years. It's a miracle that I can survive to this day!" Guo Congmin picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank it all!

"Captain, as the saying goes, things change over time. Today, the Japanese have also moved into the human circle. However, I am a little worried. People from three villages have already moved in here, a total of over 400 people. There are only six of us, plus those Japanese police, so there are only about ten people in total. What if they rebel?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Wang. Many violent rebels have been dealt with in advance. Think about it, no matter which village, when we move, there are always some people who oppose it. We dealt with them directly. Let me tell you something. People are malleable. We have killed a group of those who dared to resist. On weekdays, we kill another group of those who disobeyed discipline. Among the remaining people, most of them must be obedient!" Guo Congmin said confidently.

He took a few bites of food and continued,

"The fifteen settlements in Ibaraki Prefecture are all close together, only 1-2 kilometers apart. They're all on the road and connected by telephone. The city is only a 10-minute drive away. If there's any trouble, reinforcements will arrive quickly!"

Knock knock, there’s a knock on the door!

"Is the chief here?" A Japanese voice sounded. It was the voice of Inoue Bei. He was the police chief of this settlement and was specifically responsible for managing Japanese police officers!

Guo Congmin switched directly to Japanese and said,

"Come in!"

After Inoue Beiwei came in, he bowed deeply to Guo Congmin and said,

"The villagers are starting to build their tents now! I just gave a few of them a good beating for being dishonest!"

Guo Congmin said with satisfaction,

"Very good! After dawn tomorrow, confiscate all the livestock, meat, and other items brought by the residents and put them in the warehouse!"

"Hayi!"

Inoue Beiwei bowed again and turned away!

Guo Congmin said to Wang Lei,

"Let the devils take care of the devils. Haha, it's really fun to watch them fight each other!"

Wang Lei said,

“I didn’t expect that many Japanese people are afraid of death!”

"Xiao Wang, let me tell you, as long as you're human, you'll experience fear. Faced with prolonged hunger, cold, or life-or-death situations, human nature will become distorted! This is what my teacher specifically taught me when I was in the police academy!"

Inoue Beiwei is the kind of person who is afraid of death.

When Ibaraki Prefecture was first taken under the control of the Kaishu State, the regular army dealt with a group of resistance elements. After the establishment of the Security Command, another group of resistance elements were dealt with! After the establishment of the police station, more than 1000 resistance elements were arrested and eliminated!

After three waves of people cleaned up, the hard bones were gone, and most of the remaining ones were soft bones.

So when the police station expanded its recruitment, many Japanese signed up enthusiastically!

Because, at this time, facing the bloody suppression, the remaining Japanese knew that they had only two options left: either bow their heads and become slaves, or die!
