Chapter 30: In the noisy Eastern Ocean Late December 1945, Hainan Island, Sanya, Ya County, Sanya Port At this moment, the sea outside Sanya Port is covered with masts and ships, but the buildings on the shore are empty and silent.
When the calendar turned to the end of 1945, six years had passed since Hainan Island fell to the Japanese army.
However, what is special is that the driving force behind the Hainan Island attack was not the aggressive Japanese Army, but the seemingly rational Japanese Navy.
In the early days of the war, the Japanese Empire's iron ore supply basically came from North Korea and Northeast China, but these two places were areas controlled by the Army, which meant that the iron ore was in the hands of the Army.
At that time, Japan's army and navy were life-and-death enemies.
Factory workshops that also produced munitions would never produce for the navy and army at the same time in the same workshop.
Instead, they built two workshops and hung a sign on the door of one door "Production Site Designated by the Minister of the Army." , and a sign "Designated Production Site by the Lord Admiralty" was hung on the other door for production.
If the Japanese Navy wants steel, it can only look at the Army's eyes.
This kind of iron ore distribution matter can be coordinated through the civilian cabinet in peacetime, and the navy can barely tolerate it.
During the war, the War Department dominated the iron mines and refused to share profits with the Navy.
And the navy is a big consumer of iron.
The amount of steel used by any warship can equal that of a tank brigade of the army.
As a result, even several half-built battleships soon began to run out of materials, were in constant emergency, and were almost on the verge of stopping work.
Therefore, two years after the full-scale Sino-Japanese war broke out, the Japanese Navy was thinking about taking matters into its own hands, having enough food and clothing, and finding ways to find iron from China.
Then a group of naval staff officers from the Military Command looked at the map and found that Hainan Island has both rice and iron ore.
It is also an island and seems to be very suitable to be taken as a source of resources, so they put forward an ambitious slogan. , to turn Hainan Island into "Naval Manchukuo" Next, in February 1939, the Imperial Japanese Navy launched a large-scale attack on Hainan Island: due to the fall of Guangzhou at that time, the logistics supply line was cut off, and basically all the Kuomintang regular troops on the island had withdrawn, and the Nationalist government's navy had already been withdrawn.
The Yangtze River and the Pearl River are sinking and sinking, and there are only a few security groups left in the entire Hainan Island and the famous Red Detachment of Women of the Qiongya Red Army guerrillas in the Wuzhishan base area.
Facing the large ships and artillery of the United Fleet, such a weak anti-Japanese force on the island could not resist the Japanese army.
In a very short period of time, except for Baisha County, which is located inland and far away from the coast, all important harbors and towns in Hainan Island were occupied by the Japanese army and the sun flag was planted.
Bunkers, docks, and ports were also quickly built by the Japanese army.
They widened roads and built iron bridges to speed up the plunder of Hainan Island's natural resources.
After occupying Hainan Island, the situation was similar to that in Manchuria and North China.
The Japanese did not do any good things on this tropical island at the southernmost tip of China.
The main thing was to forcefully recruit laborers and develop the Shilu Iron Mine day and night.
Tiandu Iron Mine and Yinggehai Salt Field, plundering the rich local natural resources.
Among them, Tiandu Iron Mine has direct access to the port area, but Shilu Iron Mine is not close to the sea or river, making it very difficult to transport ore.
For this purpose, the Japanese army built a railway from Shilu to Basho Port, and then transported ore to the sea from Basho Port.
In order to lay this 55-kilometer railway line, the Japanese army recruited tens of thousands of workers from China, North Korea and Taiwan, and it took five months to complete.
Then, Hachisho Port was originally a small fishing village with no modern port equipment at all.
In order to accommodate ore ships of more than 10,000 tons to load and unload cargo, it must be expanded into an artificial port.
The entire Shilu development, including mines, railways, ports and power plants, employed a total of 140,000 workers, and tens of thousands of workers were killed or injured.
After the completion of the two major mining areas, the misfortune of the workers did not end.
They were forced into the mines as hard labor, and each person was required to pick eight tons of ore per day.
If they failed to complete the task, they would not be given food, and they would be beaten severely.
The workers ate insufficient amounts of sweet potatoes, corn, and pumpkin soup; lived in simple thatched shacks; slept in two-story bunks made of bamboo slats; and wore broken sacks or cement paper bags.
Many Chinese workers were exhausted or tortured to death.
However, with the outbreak of the Pacific War, the situation on Hainan Island has undergone new changes.
Groups of American and British prisoners of war have been brought from the Philippines, Malaya and Australia to work in the mines, while the original Chinese workers have been We moved to Australia, as if we had exchanged jobs with each other.
At the same time, as the higher-quality Australian iron ore and South Pacific nickel ore were successively controlled by the Japanese army, the importance of these two iron ore mines on Hainan Island and the Yinggehai salt field in the eyes of the Tokyo wartime base camp was greatly reduced.
Faced with the harassment of the Qiongya anti-Japanese guerrillas, the Japanese troops defending the island became increasingly sluggish in their response.
At first, they organized raids in the countryside from time to time, but later they only guarded a few coastal counties, abandoning vast rural areas and land transportation.
Wire.
Later, the Japanese "Hainan Garrison Office" moved from Haikou to Ya County, continued to shrink its troops, and left Haikou and several other towns under the management of the puppet army.
Even though these small towns were successively captured by the anti-Japanese armed forces, it seemed that Hun didn't care, he just held on to the two iron mines.
Last year, in order to further mobilize troops from Hainan Island and reduce unnecessary consumption, the Japanese "Hainan Garrison Office" even transferred the Shilu Iron Mine and Basuo Port, which had previously spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build, as well as the Yingzhou Port further south.

Gehai salt field, also all They were abandoned one after another because the Shilu Iron Mine was deep inland.
In the areas along the mine railway, the Red Army anti-Japanese guerrillas carried out sabotage and harassment activities very frequently.
A loss of manpower and material resources.
Compared with the iron ore mines in Western Australia, which have higher quality and better security environment, they are surrounded by no-man's land.
Continuing to maintain mining production in Shilu, Hainan Island has outweighed the gains and losses, and is like useless.
The Tiandu Iron Mine in Sanya is close to the coast, and the ore can be easily transported directly to the port.
The transportation and mining costs are relatively low, and it is easier to defend against harassment and destruction by guerrillas.
Therefore, it relied on the free labor of a large number of American and British prisoners of war until the Fourth It was still operating at the end of five years.
In short, with the tenacious fighting of the guerrillas and the great retreat of the Japanese army, on the eve of the nuclear explosion in Tokyo in October this year, except for the southernmost Ya County and the northernmost Haikou, more than 80% of the entire Hainan Island has been destroyed by Commander Feng Baiju controlled by the Qiongya Anti-Japanese Democratic Government led by the Qiongya Anti-Japanese Democratic Government.
As for the remaining "party-state forces behind enemy lines" on Hainan Island, that is, the remnants of the original security regiments and some of the later "airborne special agents" who smuggled over, they had already been captured by the Qiongya Column after the second quarrel between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
After many fierce battles, they were completely wiped out.
When the news came about the nuclear explosion in Tokyo and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's "return of the capital to Nanjing", Commander Feng Baiju took advantage of the fact that the puppet troops on Hainan Island were in confusion, low morale and panic, while the national government had "accepted surrender" and the reinforcements had not yet arrived.
Concentrating all their forces, they launched a counterattack against Haikou and recaptured the largest city on Hainan Island in one fell swoop.
The last remaining puppet troops on the island either surrendered or fled to Hong Kong and Guangzhou on fishing boats.
At this point, the Qiongya Red Army led by Commander Feng Baiju has been fighting hard for more than ten years since raising the red flag in 1927.
It has to endure the difficult situation of being surrounded by powerful enemies, fighting on an isolated island, surrounded by seas, far away from the central government, facing difficulties in foreign aid, and backward weapons.
Under the predicament, it has withstood repeated encirclement and suppression campaigns by reactionary enemies from all walks of life, fought repeatedly and perseveredly in the southernmost part of China, and successfully established such a large-scale red base area.
By the end of 1945, the entire Qiongya Red Base Area had gradually developed from a mere 300 troops in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War to a territory spanning more than ten counties, with a population of 2 million, more than 10,000 armed militiamen, and 5,000 regular Red Army soldiers.
The above-mentioned considerable scale is second to none among the Red Army guerrillas behind enemy lines in the southern provinces of China.
Except for the southernmost coastal area of Ya County, almost the entire Hainan Island has been liberated by red armed forces.
However, although the situation of the Qiongya Column is developing so gratifyingly, Feng Baiju has no plans to gnaw on the last hard nut on Hainan Island in Yaxian County yet.
After all, the weapons, equipment and combat effectiveness of the genuine Japanese troops in Yaxian County are not comparable to those of the miscellaneous puppet troops in Haikou.
Moreover, the Japanese army has been carrying out extensive construction since they invaded Yaxian County.
They established the Fourth South China Navy Base in Sanya Port and the Thirteenth South China Aviation Base in Huangliu, west of Yaxian County.
The entire Yaxian County was built into a base for the Japanese Navy.
The military fortress is permanently stationed with a destroyer fleet and a torpedo boat fleet, plus more than 50 combat aircraft, as well as nearly a hundred transport ships, supply ships and other small ships.
For the Qiongya Column, which is extremely short of heavy artillery and technical weapons and has extremely weak firepower, it is basically an impossible task to conquer such a fortress-like port from land with both land, sea and air forces.
In fact, if the Japanese Marine Corps in Sanya Port had not had an extremely negative combat attitude in recent years and basically no longer dispatched to raid the countryside, but only stayed in the county seat, Tiandu Iron Mine and port fortress, the Qiongya Column would have been unable to move across the entire island.
It won't be as easy as it is now.
At the same time, we have to guard against the Kuomintang troops crossing the sea from the north: the puppet troops in Guangzhou, Qinzhou and Leizhou Peninsula have now "changed their skins" one after another.
Although those "state officials" who were parachuted in are now busy "receiving enemy products," no one can say for sure when Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who was just expelled from Nanjing again, will think of Hainan Island.
This group of red heads, and then ordered people to organize a new campaign.
Therefore, even after regaining Haikou, Commander Feng Baiju was not dazzled by the joy of victory and rashly pushed the newly formed team into a head-on collision with the Japanese fortress.
Instead, he prepared to fight with Sanya Port The Japanese Navy, a bad neighbor, is mentally prepared to continue a long-term confrontation.
However, just in the last few days of the Gregorian calendar this year, Commander Feng Baiju found that he suddenly received a gift package from heaven.
"You said that all the Japanese Japs in Yaxian County are gone.
Even the Japs Navy in Sanya Bay are retreating.
Are you sure you read that right?"
With an expression of disbelief on his face, Feng Baiju, who had just returned to the base in triumph from Haikou, asked the scout who came to report the situation.
After receiving a positive answer from the other party and being informed that the frontline reconnaissance sentries had taken over the county seat of Yaxian County and seized a large amount of equipment and materials and many intact factories and workshops, Feng Baiju could no longer hold back and hurriedly pulled out a company and additional reinforcements.
The security squad rushed over to Sanya.
Although what the Japanese army has done since they invaded Hainan Island can be described as extremely cruel and brutal, it has caused the people of all ethnic groups on Hainan Island to shed blood and tears.
But it also has to be admitted that it was the Japanese invasion and development that gave Hainan Island, which had been lagging behind for a long time, a little industrial foundation.
Today, the arsenal of the anti-Japanese government in Hainan Island relies on the industrial equipment that the Japanese army did not have time to destroy after abandoning the Shilu Iron Mine and Basuo Port, as well as a few Taiwanese engineers who surrendered, trying to piece it together, repair and supply it. .
In this way, the traffic officers of the New Fourth Army who sneaked across the sea were envious: there is actually a power grid in the Qiongya Column Arsenal, and there are railways that are available in several bases across the country.

Therefore, when he heard that there was another opportunity to "pick up foreign goods" in Yaxian County, Feng Baiju couldn't help but jump three feet high and run as if he had wings.
His feelings were really similar to those of the "receipt officials" in the government today.
I was in a similar mood, fearing that the guerrillas who went to receive me would be ignorant and break things.
I hurried all the way to Yaxian County and saw that the Japanese troops stationed in the county had disappeared without a trace.
Even the shops and Japanese language schools opened by Japanese expatriates were all empty.
The local pseudo-policemen either disarmed themselves and waited to be dealt with, or they took off their uniforms and hid at home.
Only a few toothless old men from the local maintenance committee stood tremblingly at the city gate, "warmly welcoming" the leader of the Qiongya column into the city.
However, Commander Feng Baiju had just walked into the pseudo county government of Ya County.
Before he could count the trophies captured by the guerrillas, he received another piece of great news: the Japanese at the Sanya Military Port had also escaped and left behind all kinds of weapons.
All kinds of materials and equipment were piled up like mountains, so Feng Bai Ju only had time to instruct the guerrillas not to destroy anything they couldn't figure out.
Before that, in Haikou, some clumsy soldiers smashed the captured remote radio and spare electronic components, which made several intellectuals in the base area feel distressed for a long time, so they hurriedly Set off again to Sanya.
As a result, the situation of Sanya Fortress was indeed as the scout said, and it had been completely abandoned by the Japanese army.
All the Japanese troops originally stationed there and the Japanese accompanying them had boarded the boats and left, while the locals were sent home.
Only more than a thousand Taiwanese military men, translators, laborers, traders, prostitutes and engineers who were unwilling to evacuate, as well as the "Takasago Volunteer Team" composed of 300 Taiwanese aborigines who were recruited, still stayed in the fortress of the military port, waiting to be surrendered and surrendered. placement.
Feng Baiju was very moved when he saw that the solid gun towers that the guerrillas once regarded as iron walls were now being put up with red flags without firing a single shot.
Next, in the headquarters building of the Sanya Police Mansion, Feng Baiju met a trembling Hong Kong maid again.
She spoke Cantonese that was not easy to understand.
There was a big difference between Cantonese and Hainan dialect, and she offered a speech.
"Letter from the Japanese Taijun to the Chinese Red Army".
Feng Baiju reached out to take the letter and took a look at it.
He found that the letter was very elegant.
The edges were actually decorated with gold patterns, and in the middle he wrote with a brush: "Since the 14th year of Showa, I have been occupying your land for mining for six years.
I have caused you a lot of trouble.
Please forgive me.
Now we are about to leave.
It is expected that I will never come to your land again in this life.
From now on, we will be separated forever.
The past Please put aside all grudges and grudges with a smile.
Also: There are still some Taiwanese people here who are unwilling to evacuate and hope to return home.
In addition, there are some Mi-Ying prisoners of war in the mining area.
I hope you can arrange them properly.
Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Rear Admiral Kami Shigetoku" Looking at the understatement in the letter, Commander Feng Baiju couldn't help but have the urge to tear the letter into pieces: "Troublesome eight years of war of resistance and so many bloody debts, in the eyes of you little devils, Just a little trouble ooxx all kinds of swear words” But after thinking about it carefully, he still collected the letter and prepared to take it back for everyone to take a look at.
After a while, the various troops reported on the takeover and confiscation situation, which quickly diluted the resentment accumulated in Commander Feng Baiju's heart.
The harvest of "picking up foreign land" this time was really too rich.
Before the evacuation, the Japanese did nothing but burn confidential documents.
In addition, almost the entire The military port and the associated industrial facilities have all remained intact: docks, power plants, water plants, hospitals, ship repair yards, oil depots, coal bunkers, anti-aircraft gun positions, barracks, office buildings, radio transmission stations, etc.
All base facilities are intact.
Even the several heavy guns on the coastal defense fortress were safe and unharmed.
The troops seized five trucks, three tractors, and four small locomotives that pulled ore from Tiandu to the dock at various places in the port base.
On the trestle were tied several gunboats, torpedo boats, a long motor sailboat made of fiberboard, and more hand-rowed sampans.
Then, the situation in various warehouses is also very gratifying: in the entire Sanya Military Port, only the oil depot is basically empty.
There are also very few rice, salted fish and canned food in the food depot, but the coal bunker is almost full.
There are also a lot of firearms and ammunition in the arsenal.
More than 8,000 rifles and nearly a hundred machine guns have been confiscated. .
In addition, there are some miscellaneous scattered materials, mainly labor tools and building materials such as steel and cement.

Next, there were actually a lot of good things hidden among the Taiwanese who surrendered.
Before retreating, the Japanese army seemed to have a rare human touch.
Yesterday evening, they gave them gifts in the form of ocean and physical objects. received a large severance package.
The guerrillas had a heated debate about whether to confiscate the personal belongings, cans, candies, clothes, quilts and other items from these Taiwanese people.
Some people who were frightened by poverty were very greedy for this, but more people felt that it would affect them.
Not so good.
In the end, Feng Baiju made the final decision: the prisoner policy must be strictly observed and their private property must be protected.
After a while, the seizure report from Yaxian County was also sent over.
Just like the situation at Sanya Military Port, the grain seized from Yaxian County was relatively small.
It seemed that the Japanese had moved as much as possible onto the ship.
At present, a total of more than 5,000 firearms of various types, seven vehicles, 35 mortars, 12 mountain guns, and countless bullets and artillery shells have been seized.
There are also three old biplanes and two jeeps parked at the airport in the west of the county.
The canneries, cement factories, textile factories, brick and tile factories, power stations, water plants, freezers, cement fish drying flats, and paper mills run by Japanese expatriates and military personnel are also intact.
In addition, there is even a long-term outage.
Experimental small ironworks.
Although these complex industrial equipment are only standard equipment in small and remote towns in Western countries, China, which is poor and weak, has become an extremely advanced industrial center.
In this era of China, even in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are known as the most developed, there is no guarantee that there will be telephone poles in every county.
Therefore, after receiving the enemy products left by the Japanese Navy, the Qiongya Column was almost equivalent to obtaining a mini, ultra-small Manchukuo
"Commander, there are so many good things in the base area now.
We are even richer now than the Eighth Route Army headquarters back then.
But why did the little devil be so kind this time and leave so many things for us even when he left?
Even the heavy artillery on the fort was not damaged.
Aren't the little devils afraid that after we take over these heavy artillery, we will immediately load up the shells and hit their ships?"
The little soldier who came to report happily reported the data on the list and asked with some confusion.
"Probably because they really don't plan to come back.
Besides, looking at so many armored ships, how dare we fire cannons casually?"
Feng Baiju looked down at the Japanese fleet on the distant sea with his telescope, and sighed in a low voice, "If we really fire artillery to attack it, I'm afraid that before we can sink a ship, we will attract overwhelming retaliatory artillery fire, leaving us to capture the All these good things have been smashed to pieces.
Hurry up and pass the order.
As long as the Japanese have no intention of re-landing, all troops are not allowed to fire at sea.
Anyone who violates the order will be dealt with according to military law."
From the balcony on the top floor of the military port headquarters building where the two of them were at this time, overlooking the vast and vast sea ahead, they saw a jaw-droppingly huge fleet moored grandly on the sunny sea, with the rising sun hanging on it.
The flags and the masts of various signal flags extend continuously from a few hundred meters away from the coast.
The farthest point exceeds the horizon of the visual limit, like a huge forest on the sea.
In the center of these ships, surrounded by stars like stars over the moon, are four huge battleships with similar appearance and extremely powerful and domineering.
Except for the slight difference in painting, each battleship has the same basic pattern.
The front of the ship's bow is decorated with a golden chrysanthemum pattern, the gun muzzle is covered with a golden chrysanthemum pattern cover, a low and thick triple giant turret, the superstructure is ten stories high, and there are many secondary guns on both sides, which looks full of arrogance. momentum.
And the legendary achievements of these four Yamato-class battleships are indeed worthy of such momentum.
Even in a remote place like Hainan Island, through radios and occasionally captured Japanese and puppet newspapers, Commander Feng Baiju had heard about the Yamato-class battleships.
A name that gave the Allies a nightmare.
Previously, when he learned through various indirect channels that the Japanese Yamato-class battleship had won another naval battle and sunk a certain British and French warship, Feng Baiju just sighed in his heart or complained about the Americans.
The navy is really invincible.
But now that he has witnessed these four super giant ships, which are like castles, no, they are as towering as mountains, Feng Baiju has truly felt for the first time how terrifying and oppressive these four Yamato-class battleships are.
All living beings, so shocking that people can’t help but have the urge to be obsessed with it.
The Yamato-class battleship is surrounded by more than a dozen aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, as well as a larger number of light cruisers, destroyers, floating submarines and various auxiliary ships, plus dozens of more Indistinct merchant ships, arranged in layers upon layers, almost filled the entire sea surface within sight.
Their number may have exceeded the imagination limit of the commanders and soldiers of the Qiongya Column on the shore.

In short, when Feng Baiju just saw this scene, he was really stunned and his mind went blank.
It took several minutes to come back to his senses.
And all kinds of indescribable and complicated thoughts made him even more emotional, and he thought a lot about the future prospects in his heart.
A moment later, in the conference room of the Hainan Guard Headquarters Building in Sanya Port, Commander Feng Baiju pointed at the huge fleet parked outside the window and said loudly to the frontline commanders and soldiers who had gathered for a meeting, "Comrades, a modern and powerful navy should You have all seen what it looks like today.
Although we do not have such a powerful navy now, even if the revolution is victorious, we may not have such a large navy as we see today for a long time to come.
Fleet.
But, The long coastline and vast territorial waters of the motherland still need our protection.
We can no longer allow the warships of the imperialist powers to run rampant in our ports and coasts.
Now, since we have liberated the entire Hainan Island and received the Japanese Navy in Sanya.
A small inheritance should be put to good use.
Even though there are only a few small gunboats abandoned by the Japanese, we must get them as soon as possible to resist possible cross-sea invasions by imperialism and the Kuomintang reactionaries in the future."
However, before the enthusiastic Commander Feng Baiju could finish speaking impassionedly to his comrades about the importance of building a navy and coastal defense, the platoon leader who was ordered to go to the Tiandu Iron Mine to take over the prisoner of war camp hurried over and interrupted the meeting. , told him a very bad news.
In fact, the Tiandu Iron Mine itself is in very good condition, and the mining equipment has not been damaged in any way.
There is no ambush by the Japanese or puppet troops there.
The Taiwanese guards waiting to surrender are very calm, and so are the American and British prisoners of war. , and there was no trouble caused by the retreat of the Japanese army.
The only problem was that there were so many prisoners of war that the guerrilla fighters who took over had no idea what to do.
"How many fifty thousand people?"
After hearing this number, Feng Baiju suddenly felt that he was almost fainting, "Damn little Japan, leaving so many foreign uncles behind, is to let them eat up our little family alive. "?"
Although he was in a remote place like Hainan Island and was not very well-informed, Feng Baiju also vaguely knew that the current anti-fascist alliance was close to collapse.
The relationship between the capitalist camp represented by the United States and Britain and the Chinese Bolsheviks like himself was quite subtle.
Now that the Americans are openly supporting Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, sending a large amount of aid materials to the Kuomintang reactionaries, and supporting this bald butcher's "big cause of suppressing bandits", it is difficult to say whether they will directly participate in the war and fully support the party and the Red Army. opposite.
Therefore, before receiving clear instructions from the central government, these American and British prisoners of war on Hainan Island must not be released.
Moreover, even if these foreigners are released, they have nowhere to go now and can only disturb public order.
However, if he really wants to keep them in the prisoner-of-war camp, Feng Baiju really can't afford to support them: the current population of the entire Hainan Island is only more than two million, and the people have always been very poor, and the base area alone can support less than 10,000 people.
With the number of retired cadres and soldiers, the financial situation of the anti-Japanese government was already tight.
If these more than 50,000 foreign devils are to continue to be imprisoned and eat for nothing, the Qiongya Anti-Japanese Government will have to be driven bankrupt.
Of course, these foreign devils do not just eat and do nothing, but the problem is that when the Japanese manage the Tiandu Iron Mine, they can transport the excavated iron ore overseas, and then transport rice and grains from places like Vietnam and Thailand.
Provide for these prisoners of war.
However, after the Qiongya Column, which was standing alone behind enemy lines, took over the Tiandu Iron Mine, the surrounding area was still blocked for the time being.
What was the use of continuing to mine so much iron ore just to smelt iron and make farm tools?
There isn’t that much coal in the world.
The little coal we captured is stored in stock.
We still have to save electricity.
Could it be that we have to burn charcoal?
However, no matter how difficult it is, this big burden must be shouldered.
We can't execute these American and British prisoners of war collectively and feed them to the sharks.
After silently calculating the amount of food seized, Commander Feng Baiju sadly discovered that this amount of food was not enough to feed 50,000 prisoners of war for three days.
"Commander, when those foreign prisoners of war saw us, they called out, saying that the Japanese had no one to give them food since yesterday morning.
They only gave them some biscuits and salted fish before leaving, and they have already distributed them.
We’ve all eaten it, and now everyone is clamoring for us to take care of the food.”
The platoon leader who came to report the situation said with a grimace, "Comrades have searched carefully there.
Except for radishes and taro grown in a vegetable field, there is nothing edible in the entire prisoner of war camp.
It seems that they were The few local supervisors who escaped were moved away together with the nearby villagers."
"Well, it is the discipline of the army to treat prisoners preferentially.
We can't let them starve to death like this.

Carry out the remaining rice in the Japanese warehouse in the military port.
Let's cook some rice porridge for these foreigners first.
Remember to put more water in it.
It needs to be thinner, but don’t eat it all in a few meals.”
Feng Baiju stretched out his hand to rub his temples and said distressedly, "Then quickly send a telegram to the central government and make sure to explain the difficulties we are facing." oshow7:
