Chapter 717 How to Make the Old Family Live a Good Life

Many people behind enemy lines lived a very miserable life. It was better in the countryside because we had a large number of armed work teams guarding us, as well as a large number of guerrillas and village militias. Generally, small groups of enemies did not dare to leave the city at will. Once the enemy dared to step out of the city gate, they would probably not be able to return.

But the common people in the city were miserable. In order to obtain various resources from China, the Japanese invaders often adopted shameless means of plunder. Not only did they control all the daily necessities in the city, they also raised prices at every turn to plunder the common people's wealth, causing all industries in the city to fall into decline.

For example, the enemy exercised strict control over food, and shipped large amounts of newly harvested food back to their homeland. The people in the city could only spend a lot of money to buy some moldy old food to barely survive. The word "miserable" could not describe how miserable their situation was.

Since we recaptured several nearby counties, the first thing we did was to transport a large amount of grain, cloth and various daily necessities into the city to stabilize market prices.

After several days of fierce fighting, we were able to finally wipe out the remaining enemies in the city. This was thanks to the strong cooperation of the people in the city. Countless people were willing to risk their lives to guide the way for our troops, transport ammunition and wounded soldiers, and a large number of city residents naturally organized themselves to guard the streets in the city.

If there are a lot of enemies, send someone to notify the main force to send people to capture them, but if they are just a lone enemy, the big guys will not be polite to them.

The Japanese invaders at that time were like dogs that had lost their homes. They no longer had the arrogant look they usually had. Any ordinary citizen would be happy to give a drowning dog a beating.

After the city was completely liberated, the logistics department immediately sent people to transport a large amount of supplies into the city. They used specially made tricycles. One tricycle could carry about 500 kilograms of food, and we mobilized thousands of them at once, which could carry 500 tons of various supplies.

This situation does not end just after one trip. After the tricycle driver unloads the goods, he immediately rides away and continues to transport supplies outside the city, which makes it seem as if a constant supply of supplies is being transported in.

At this critical moment, confidence is extremely precious to ordinary people. Seeing the endless stream of convoys transporting huge amounts of supplies, the people are already fantasizing about a better future.

As expected, we posted a notice that afternoon that every citizen in the city could receive a week's worth of food rations for free. Based on the three kilograms of staple food per day for an adult, a total of 21 kilograms could be received, even for newborn babies.

Some families with larger populations can receive 200 kilograms of food at a time, which is enough for the whole family to eat for a month.

The benefit of doing this is not only that it can bring benefits to all the people in the city, but it can also help to find out the spy and traitor who is hiding in the city while registering to collect supplies, which is like killing two birds with one stone.

In addition to food, each person was also given two cans of food, allowing the city dwellers who had suffered for so many years to have some meat and a few nutritious meals.

At the same time, a large amount of cloth and industrial products for daily use quickly flooded the market, and prices were brought down on the same day. Ordinary people could buy various materials at 10% of the usual price.

In order to eliminate the damage caused to the city by the fierce fighting during the siege, we basically hired a large number of civilians to carry out repairs, giving priority to those with difficult families, and directly distributing food and canned food.

Only one person from each household needs to contribute, and the supplies obtained are enough for the whole family to survive.

In addition to these, a large number of young and middle-aged people were recruited to repair a large number of water conservancy facilities and roads outside the city, so that most people had a stable income and could survive in this chaotic world.

In addition to these, one or two main regiments will be mobilized to garrison outside the city, especially those troops that are eligible to receive animal blessings, which will open the eyes of the people in or near the city.

It turns out that the legend is true. There really is such a good thing that a large number of animals appear every once in a while. It seems that the rumors are true. It is really thanks to the blessings of their ancestors that they can now live a good life.

Because we calculated the date carefully, a large number of animals appeared in the entire area that night. In addition to hunting the large animals, the troops gave the remaining small animals to the nearby residents, which could be considered a kind of compensation.

By the next day, the city was filled with the sounds of people selling all kinds of animals, and some of our staff took out a lot of food and exchanged it for a lot of leftover meat from the people.

Through these measures, all ordinary people have basically been given a buffer period of one to two months. Later, we will find ways to provide everyone with jobs that can make money, so that everyone can survive in this chaotic world.

Of course, these measures are only aimed at ordinary people, except for hidden spies and people with ulterior motives.

This is the experience we have summed up during this period. It is also thanks to the large amount of food and cloth shipped back from abroad in the previous few months, which can ensure a good life for the people in these newly liberated areas.

After such a comparison, most people realized that their lives on the enemy's side were so miserable, but now under the leadership of our party, their lives are like falling into a happy nest.

This is what the people want. Whoever can make the people live a good life will gain their wholehearted support. Invaders like the Japanese invaders only kill and plunder, and are destined to fail and perish.

After things here were over, Song Qingfeng came to say goodbye to Commander Wang of the Military Sub-district:

"Commander, we have received the latest order and will be heading to another place to carry out a new mission. I came here specifically to say goodbye to you."

After hearing this, Commander Wang asked tentatively without hesitation, "Captain Song, honestly, fighting alongside you these past few days has taught me a lot. I never knew that battles could be fought this way, using a small, elite force deep behind enemy lines to achieve such significant results."

"I have to say, your small unit of less than fifty people has achieved results comparable to those of an entire main battalion, especially in urban street fighting. Your squad has played a vital role in our success this time. I truly cannot bear to let you go."

Although he really wanted to keep this extremely powerful squad in his military sub-district, it was just a thought. A force of this level was not something that a small military sub-district commander like him could even think about.

This battle against the enemy was a joint operation of several nearby military sub-districts and several main forces of the military region, with a total of more than 20,000 people deployed. This is how such brilliant results were achieved. Not only did a large number of Japanese and puppet troops' active forces be eliminated, but the opportunity was also taken to expand the scope of the base and rescue a large number of civilians.
