Chapter 345 Watching Movies

Chongqing, a quiet and peaceful mountain city
In 1937, Chongqing's population was only 47, but since the national government moved the capital to Chongqing, the population has skyrocketed. By 1941, Chongqing's population had skyrocketed to nearly 70.

While the boom in population brought prosperity, it also brought a series of problems, the most serious being inflation.

In another time and space, during the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, prices in Chongqing rose more than 1560 times.Mr. Lao She, a famous writer who lived in Chongqing at the time, recalled that things in Sichuan were really cheap at the beginning, "ten big biscuits can be bought for a dime, and a bunch of fresh longan can be bought for a copper coin", but since 1940, it has stopped being cheap. Prices are almost doubling every day.

Not only that, since Chongqing became the accompanying capital, Chongqing has also become a thorn in the side of the Japanese army. Since 38, the Japanese Army Air Force has launched a large-scale bombing of Chongqing. As of 41, nearly half of Chongqing’s urban area has been bombed by the Japanese army. It exploded into ruins.

Although the anti-Japanese situation was extremely severe, the Chinese people did not give in. With tears in their eyes, countless people dug up the remains of their relatives from the ruins and buried them, and then they still devoted themselves to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War.

Today's Chongqing is extremely lively. A newsboy keeps shuttling through the streets and alleys, smiling excitedly on his little face, which has become disheveled due to malnutrition.

"Extraordinary title... Zhongtiaoshan great victory... The Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the Eighth Route Army and the Liantai militia teamed up to wipe out the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese Army near Qiuyang County, and killed its brigade commander Shigeyasu Suzuki."

"Extraordinary, the Japanese army was brutally defeated by Waterloo in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the entire Ninth Brigade was wiped out."

"Outside the title, Shigeyasu Suzuki, the commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese Army, arrived in Chongqing. After inspection, he was indeed Shigeyasu Suzuki himself, but he was dead without a whole body!"

Today's Chongqing has been bombarded by a piece of shocking news. Everyone is discussing two issues. In addition to the Ninth Brigade being wiped out, the other is that the government will broadcast it simultaneously on the four most prosperous streets in Chongqing. Movie.

As of 1941, although movies had entered China for more than ten years, the vast majority of ordinary people had never seen movies. Therefore, when they heard that there were free public movies to watch, many people became excited.

It was originally scheduled to be played at 07:30 in the evening, but in fact, people started to occupy seats before [-]:[-] in the afternoon. Come.

As night fell, the four large screens that were pulled up were turned on almost at the same time, followed by bursts of cheers, mixed with sharp whistles, and there was a burst of noise one after another.

But soon, with the sound of the four large speakers placed around, people began to quiet down.

At the beginning of the picture, a group of planes appeared on the huge curtain, and then a thick male baritone sounded.

"On July 1937, 7, the Japanese army launched a brazen attack on the Huaxia garrison at Lugou Bridge in Beiping, and the 7th Army of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army rose up to resist. From this, China began a comprehensive and arduous war against the invaders. "

Accompanied by the explanation of the voice, pictures began to appear in front of everyone, planes painted with ointment flags appeared in the sky, the cabin door opened slowly, and bombs fell from the cabin to the ground.

Thick black smoke shot straight into the sky, houses collapsed, and people rushed for their lives. There were dead bodies everywhere on the road, and many people even died in disheveled clothes.

"Accompanied by the fall of Nanjing, the Japanese invaders carried out a brutal massacre in Nanjing. According to statistics, in this massacre that lasted more than 40 days, a total of 34 soldiers and civilians in NJ died under the butcher knife of the Japanese invaders."

In the movie, a ragged child who can't walk sits on a street full of ruins and cries, surrounded by dead bodies.

Narrator: This is a boy who is less than one year old. His parents have died tragically under the bayonet of the Japanese invaders. Fortunately, the cruel Japanese invaders were busy chasing him and did not notice him, so they were rescued by kind people. down, but other children were not so lucky.

Accompanied by the voice, outrageous images began to appear on the screen of the movie.A boy sitting on the ground weeping struggled to crawl towards a body lying on the ground, but soon a Japanese soldier appeared, and he was seen holding a grenade and stuffing it into the boy's arms, pulling After the fuse was sounded, he quickly ran away. With a loud noise, the boy disappeared in the same place.

Not only that, but there was also a heinous scene on the screen. A group of Japanese soldiers stuffed a Chinese man into a sack, tied up the mouth of the sack, poured gasoline on it and set it on fire. laughter.

"brute……"

"These damned beasts!"

"How dare they do that?"

The simple and kind people have never seen such a cruel scene. Many children were so frightened that they cried. The mother on the side quickly covered their eyes, while the men were so angry that they opened their eyes and cursed. The burst of cursing even covered the sound of the speakers.

Somewhere in an unobtrusive place, a man wearing a long mandarin jacket and sunglasses looked at the movie screen with a livid face, and couldn't help but cursed: "Mother Xipi, it's unreasonable, the Japanese bully you!" It's too much... It's just too deceiving!"

A man in a Chinese tunic suit next to him looked at the emotional people around him and advised him worriedly: "Principal, there are all kinds of people here. It's too unsafe for you to be here. Why don't the staff send you back?"

"I'm not going, I'm here! No matter how bad it is, it's safer than Nanjing, right? I want to finish watching the movie, and I want to watch it. What else is in that Gao Hongming movie?"

Seeing that his boss was determined to stay, the man could only helplessly wink at the people wearing the same tunic suit around him, signaling them to be more vigilant.

In the movie, the scenes of various Japanese massacres lasted for more than ten minutes. During this time, people's emotions were suppressed to the extreme. Looking at the men in Chinese tunic suits around them were frightened. You must know that there are seven or eight thousand people around if not ten thousand.

This place is like a pile of dry firewood. Once a spark falls, it will explode immediately, not to mention the man they want to protect. If there is any mistake, it will be a big deal.

However, what the man in the tunic suit was worried about did not happen, and the voice of the narration on the screen sounded again.

"The cruel atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders did not frighten the children of China, and countless people began to resist.

In May 1941, the Japanese invaders began to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Shanxi Liantai militia, under the command of its head Gao Hongming, was ordered to approach Zhongtiao Mountain and began to counterattack the invading Japanese invaders..."
