162 Both soft and hard tactics
"How could these damned little devils do this?"
“They are not human beings, and human beings cannot do such things.
You see, they don’t even spare children and pregnant women.”
"Damn it! Men should stand up, pick up weapons and fight them.
Damn it, do you really think there are no men in Jinling City? "
As the survivors in the city tell their tragic experiences in person,
In addition, the bodies of innocent people published in the newspapers made countless people in Alice's shelter outraged.
Many gentlemen with conscience were so angry that they could not help but stand up.
"I, Ding Daqiu, signed up to join the militia.
Give me a gun, and I'll fight the devils!"
Soon, at the militia registration point, a man wearing a gray cotton jacket and with a stubble on his face was the first to come up to register.
"Boss, you really want to go fight the devils.
That would be fatal, you leave.
What should Xiaobao and I do?
No, you can't go.
If you dare to go, I will crash and die here today."
As a result, a fat woman rushed out from behind, holding a little boy, grabbed the man and started to make trouble.
A group of people were watching around.
Most of the people who enter the shelter come with their families.
Therefore, in the data that Ye Qingshan obtained from his third brother Ye Qinglan,
At this time, the number of people seeking refuge in Alice Shelter has reached over 70,000.
The shelter, which was only the size of a few football fields, was already packed with people.
Moreover, this number is still increasing.
In the urban area, more people were evacuated into the city, and many people have not yet arrived at the shelter.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan was very clear that as more people arrived at the shelter.
Alice's shelter will be overcrowded sooner or later.
In this way, Ye Qingshan would never let these adult men hide in the shelter like the old, weak, women and children.
According to Ye Qingshan's plan, only women, the elderly and children will be accommodated at the back of the shelter.
All adult males had to go out to fight the Japanese, or work in tunnels and arsenals, or serve as logistical laborers.
Anyway, these adult men have the responsibility to fulfill their due responsibilities at this time when the city is broken.
Letting the propaganda team carry out the propaganda is just the appetizer for Ye Qingshan's subsequent series of policies.
First courtesy, then force. Ye Qingshan will have tougher policies later as a combination of punches.
"Don't mess around, woman.
How can I, a grown man, hide in the shelter with women like you?
The other men were outside fighting the Japanese.
What's the point of me hiding like this?
I am already very satisfied that you and your daughter can hide in the shelter and avoid being bombed by the Japanese artillery shells.
We have received so much kindness from Chief Ye and Ms. Alice.
We can't be the kind of person who doesn't repay a favor.
Otherwise, all of us gentlemen would hide in the shelter and no one would go to fight the Japanese.
When the Japanese come, are you going to be killed like the people in the south of the city?
In the past, I would listen to you about anything at home.
But I am still the head of the family, and I have the final say on such important matters."
It was rare for Ding Daqiu to show his toughness.
"But, my dear, if you were gone, what would happen to my mother and me?"
The woman was still crying.
The man helped her up, wiped her tears, then looked at the little boy in the woman's arms and said, "If I die.
At least you and your daughter have a chance to survive.
Moreover, I believe that Commander Ye and Ms. Alice will definitely find a way to get you out of Jinling.
When the time comes, you can take the child back to your hometown and raise him well."
Then, Ding Daqiu turned around and walked to the registration point and said to a soldier, "I'll sign up."
Ding Daqiu was the first to do so, and soon other adult men in the shelter also came out to sign up.
Next, I went back to say goodbye to my family.
“We also want to sign up.
Why don't we sign up? We also want to fight the devils."
"No, you are still a child,
Officer Ye has issued an order that no one under the age of sixteen will be admitted.
Go, go, if you want to work, go help out in other places in the shelter."
Some students in the shelter also came in groups to sign up, but were driven away.
Just two hours later, the number of people who signed up for the militia at Alice Shelter exceeded 10,000.
But there are still many adult men in many families who have not signed up.
Some of them were timid and unwilling to go, while others were stopped by their families from going.
"Hey, Sister Qin, Brother Qin hasn't signed up yet.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself, a grown man, staying with us women every day?"
In the shelter, adult men who have not registered will be ridiculed wherever they go.
Soon, a soldier came to the shelter and shouted, "Commander Ye is very pleased to learn that the men in the shelter are willing to pick up guns and fight the devils.
Therefore, Commander Ye gave a special order.
Starting tonight, we will select 500 children from the shelter every night and send them to the other side."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the people in the shelter were all excited.
At this time, the city of Jinling was surrounded by the Japanese on three sides, and the only access to the outside world was the ferry on the Yangtze River in the west.
However, the ferry at Xiaguan Ferry was requisitioned by the military to transport the wounded.
Their people had no chance to evacuate by ferry, so they were forced to flee to the shelters in the city.
And now, after Ye Qingshan seized power, he finally made a decision.
The ferry was used at night to transport the seriously wounded soldiers in the city to the other side of the river, while also transporting a group of children in the city.
This is also one of Ye Qingshan's ways of repaying the men in the shelter for being willing to take up guns and fight the Japanese.
“I’m not finished yet.
It is stipulated that when selecting children to be sent across the river, priority will be given to families with adult males who have signed up to join the militia.
Commander Ye said that their fathers and brothers had gone out to fight the Japanese.
Commander Ye will definitely protect their wives and children in the rear."
After the soldier finished shouting.
Many women cried with excitement. These were the men in their families who had signed up to join the militia.
Some women looked unhappy.
Because their men were stopped by them and did not sign up.
Now, they have lost the opportunity to send their children across the river.
After all, there are a lot of children in the city, and only 500 children can be sent across the river every night.
In families where there are men who sign up for the militia, their children will be given priority in selection.
There are so many children in these families alone.
Who knows when it will be the turn for those families who didn’t sign up to attend.
It is not known how long the defenders of Jinling City can hold out.
At this time, they felt completely relieved after sending the child across the river and ensuring his safety.
"Haha, Commander Ye is wise.
This time, even if I, Ding Daqiu, died in battle, it would be worth it in exchange for my son's life."
