A few days after the July 7 Incident, Wanping City was unexpectedly peaceful.
It seemed that both sides had formed some kind of tacit understanding.
Ever since the night raid by the security guards.
These days, the Japanese troops did not organize another attack.
Even the frontlines had retreated to a distance of nearly one kilometer away from the defenders.
The only exception was that the Japanese artillery didn't just fire a few shots at the city walls or city defense positions.
The biggest exchange of fire was the sniping of both sides.
The exchange of fire at such a distance was more of a demonstration to the other party. The actual result was not much.
Even the snipers of the security regiment who wandered around the city wall all day had 98K equipped with 8x scope. As they had not undergone systematic sniper training, they did not cause much damage to the Japanese these days.
At most, he would only create a few corpses and a few injured people for the other party.
On the other hand, in the sky, there would be Japanese planes coming every day or two.
Chen Li knew that it was a reconnaissance plane, so he did not let the air defense position open fire.
This kind of aircraft was small, light and flexible, and it was not easy to hit. It would not be worth it to expose the air defense position.
Ji Changwen had also come to find him a few times. He believed that the temporary peace was due to the peace talks, that the war would not continue, and that the situation in Pingjin would definitely change.
Chen Li was too lazy to argue with him at this time.
The situation in Pinjin would definitely change, but the 29th division was chased out by the Japanese.
Chen Li was still planning his future. He had even secretly made plans to take over the 3rd Battalion when the 29th Division retreated.
This army was brave enough and could fight. It would definitely be a great help if they took it in.
After all, Chen Li was very lacking in talent. Even his own army was in a mess.
However, at this time, even if they knew where there were talents, they wouldn't be able to invite Wanping City even if they used eight palanquins to carry them.
Ever since the two sides stopped large-scale crossfire, the order in the city began to slowly recover.
Some people began to crawl out of the tunnel and return to their homes to search for the belongings that they could not take away in time. Some even began to tidy up their homes.
Chen Li didn't stop him. The sky was going to rain, and the mother was going to get married.
He only told everyone that it was not the time to rebuild their homes. At the same time, he sent some soldiers to patrol to prevent people from stealing other people's things.
They also issued the strictest ban, which was that no one was allowed to leave the city.
There was nothing they could do about it. If the Japanese found out that there was a large-scale tunnel in Wanping City, heavy bombs would fall on them in minutes if they fought again.
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, they caught a few people who stole and robbed other people's things.
Looking at those honest people, and even an old man, Chen Li did not think that they would be such thieves.
However, Chen Li was clear that the system officer was very strict and would never defile anyone.
If it was during normal times, Chen Li would just beat him up or fine him a little. After all, he had only stolen something from someone else's house. He was not guilty of death.
However, this was a critical period. Moreover, these people did not have to worry about starving or freezing in the tunnel.
Those who were willing to work were given work points, which would be paid in food or money in the future. Those who were unwilling or unable to work were also given food.
Under such conditions, stealing and robbing could only be said to be insatiable.
Chen Li did not pay attention to these criminals who were begging for mercy or standing there as if nothing had happened. He directly ordered, After a public trial, he would be executed.
The trial was held at noon, in the largest square in Wanping.
A simple wooden platform was set up temporarily. Chen Li even got someone to install a loudspeaker system for this.
It was the kind that Taizu used at the founding ceremony.
Most of the commoners in the tunnel had come out. For the sake of this public judgment meeting, Chen Li did not hesitate to stop work.
Chinese people loved to watch the show, so it was not an exaggeration to say that the square was filled with people.
The judge was Yong Wang.
Therefore, the process of the trial was very simple. It was just to read out the crimes of these people and then sentence them.
The execution was very simple. The criminals were blindfolded. It was not that they were afraid of the system officers, but they did not want the civilians to be too frightened.
Bang, bang, bang. After a few shots, the criminals fell into a pool of blood.
At this moment, many commoners had yet to react.
"Those who collude with the enemy and betray the country will die. Those who make money from the country's troubles will die. Those who steal and rob during the chaos will die."
Yong Wang's voice was still echoing in the square, but the people below the stage were already in a mess.
At first, no one realized that they would be shot for stealing so little.
Now, they understood that those soldiers dressed in colorful clothes usually looked harmless and would even help everyone.
However, if they really committed a crime, they would kill someone.
——————，
Chen Li didn't go to the public adjudication meeting. There were many things that could be arranged by others. Doing everything personally would exhaust him to death.
He had been making many plans. Because he did not know much about military affairs, he could only anticipate what might happen.
In the beginning, Chen Li would go to the telegram room every day. After all, that was his mouth. He had to send something every day to announce his existence.
He also got to know the two girls who sent the telegram. They were just like their names. The quiet one was called Jing, but he couldn't remember her name. She was Xiao Jing, and the lively one was called Xiao Li.
After that, Chen Li did not go. He only arranged for someone who was a little cultured to write down the situation in Wanping City and send it to the telegram room.
This reporter named Zhang Yongliang was originally an accountant of a trading company in the city. When he came to the underground tunnel, he didn't have any suitable job.
After obtaining this long-term 'job' from Commander Zhao and the only 'city-wide pass' other than the city guards, he naturally worked extremely hard.
In addition, he was unmarried. When he saw the two telegram operators, he naturally wanted to get to know them more.
As a result, the style of electricity in Wanping City changed. It became a detailed report. Other than those things that Regiment Commander Zhao strictly forbade from writing, every trivial matter had to be reported.
Once the war had slowed down, the telegraphers who were still on duty in the telegram office had nothing to do. They could not send civil telegrams, so they could only send electricity every day. It was not easy to get a manuscript, so they naturally had to work seriously and send it out without missing a word.
" On the afternoon of July 10th, the enemy sent a plane over Wanping City and circled it for half an hour. Our soldiers were furious and even fired at the sky. Unfortunately, they missed."
" On the afternoon of the 11th of July, the enemy fired at Wanping City. A total of eight shots were fired. Three houses were destroyed, and a chicken nest was destroyed. The chickens were bleeding all over the place. It was too horrible to look at. Our soldiers fought back and injured an enemy soldier. According to the report from the observer, the enemy was shot in the arm and lost his ability to fight…"
" On the evening of July 11th, the Security Corps held a public hearing in the city square and sentenced five criminals to death for taking advantage of the chaos in the city to steal the property of the people. They were executed on the spot.'Those who collude with the enemy and betray the country will die. Those who make money from the country's disaster will die. Those who steal and rob during the chaos will die...'"
"Senior General Chen Liujin of the Security Corps complained bitterly that the world was apathetic. After drinking, he recited the poem created by the leader of the Security Corps, Chen Li: 'If we don't go to war and the enemy kills us with a rapier, they will point at our bodies and say,' Look, these are slaves!'”
"Today, the restaurant in Wanping City opened again. He was drinking with Bao Haiyan, a soldier from the security regiment. He was not good at drinking and always cheated when he drank." I've chased the devils away. I want to marry a wife who looks like her. The regiment commander's family is rich. He said that he'll give us a share of the money if we win. I wonder how much money he'll have left after buying guns and cannons. I wonder if it'll be enough for us brothers to get married…" He added,"There was a battle a few days ago, and enough brothers died. Once this battle starts, how can the bullets be divided? I'm afraid I won't be able to live until then. That's good. I can save some money for the group leader..."
All of this information, no matter how big or small, had already become the content of Wanping City's daily electricity.
However, it was also this information that the outside world wanted to know the most.
In this era, due to the lack of communication, many people had no way of getting timely news.
Ordinary people were still busy with their own survival and did not care about those national affairs at all.
The majority of patriots and scholars could only receive information from the newspapers, which were of poor effectiveness.
Therefore, even after the Wanping incident, almost the entire country was paying attention to this place, but there was no way to get the latest news.
However, at this time, the electricity appeared at the right time.
There was a newspaper company whose person in charge had a keen sense of smell. He specially set up a special column and published the contents of Wanping Electricity every day. In just one day of word of mouth, the sales of the newspaper soared, so the editors were willing to accept it.
This also caused many newspapers to follow suit. After all, anyone could receive electricity. They even added some celebrity comments to their columns.
As a result, Wanping's electricity was a beautiful talk at that time.
It was real, simple, without any embellishments, nor did it have too many heroic words.
It was about compatriots in the war, about ordinary soldiers and ordinary people. They didn't want to die, they wanted to live, to live with dignity.
Even in the eyes of historians, he was a figure that could not be ignored in the history of the War of Resistance. He played a huge role in the war.
There were even some people who sorted out all these electricity and published a book called " Wanping without War."
For a moment, the commander of the security team, Chen Li, the so-called high-ranking officers, Chen Liujin, Wang Yong, and others became the subject of everyone's discussion…
They were all living people. They had their own preferences and habits. They even had some very big shortcomings. At this moment, they were guarding the front line of the war.
They became heroes, heroes that were passed down by the people, heroes that were no different from ordinary people.
The people had been depressed for too long. From the Jiawu Sea War until now, there had been no good news that could make them feel relieved.
Even the tragic victory at Xifengkou could be praised by the people, let alone Wanping City, which had been defended under the iron hooves of the Japanese pirates.
In the eyes of countless people, a group of people who were no different from themselves were guarding that isolated city with inferior weapons and equipment. What kind of spirit did they have?
The spirit of facing death unflinchingly.
Everyone knew how terrifying death was, but they would face it happily and resist stubbornly, even if they knew that they would die in the end.
Perhaps in the future, because of the peaceful times, there was no need to promote the spirit of certain death, and many heroic deeds were erased from the textbooks.
However, in this era, there was an urgent need for a group of people who dared to die in front of others.
They were inferior to the other party in everything, but when the other party attacked, if they did not resist, they would only be destroyed.
Resist! Resist firmly! On the battlefield, you are a life, and I am also a life!
Wanping had set an example at this time.
