The Donghui Town stronghold has never been attacked since its establishment.

The gunfire and explosions that came out last night scared everyone in the town and kept their doors away to avoid causing harm to the fish pond.

It was not until 8 o'clock the next morning that some bold ordinary people walked out of their houses and touched the base to observe the situation.

Not long after, news of the crackdown of the stronghold quickly came from the town.

The mayor appointed by the Japanese brought dozens of strong men into the stronghold to check, and no less than forty corpses were cleared out.

On the brick wall that was not blown up, several large characters painted with Japanese blood were very conspicuous: The fate of the invaders... Eighth Route Army!

Therefore, everyone in Donghui Town knew that the stronghold was captured by the Eighth Route Army and had a new understanding of the unfamiliar unit of the Eighth Route Army.

At Jinshan Pass, Zhou Cheng and his troops arrived here just before dawn.

In addition to more than twenty soldiers and more than a dozen prisoners, they also pulled out a total of ten trucks of supplies.

Although the base reserves not much ammunition, it has a lot of food, more than 12,000 kilograms, which is enough for the base to eat for one month.

Zhou Cheng was not polite and accepted it all.

In the stronghold, as long as the things that could be moved away, including the Japanese military uniforms, were loaded into the car, the top ten cars in front of us were captured.

"Captain, something happened..."

Before she could be happy, Xiang Feng ran over from the mountain with a heavy expression.

He brought military doctor Hu Yiwen back at least three hours in advance, with the purpose of rescuing the wounded as soon as possible. Looking at the expression on his face, you will know that something happened. Some wounded must have not survived until he came back.

I asked quickly: "Is anyone unable to hold on?"

Xiang Feng nodded: "The two people couldn't hold on, and the remaining three were all given medicine. Dr. Hu said that if the rescue time was three hours earlier, the two people would be able to save it. It's too late now, and even the immortals could not return to the earth... He was only two of the three warriors who applied medicine, and he was only 50% sure of the remaining one."

"If he can survive tonight, he will survive. If he can't stand it, Dr. Hu can't do anything!"

Zhou Cheng suddenly felt bad.

This is the first time that the village protection team suffered casualties, and two people were sacrificed when they came up, and one of them could be sacrificed at any time.

For the village protection team, which has few troops, the price is not ordinary.

He raised his eyebrows and shouted: "No, our strength is still too weak. This time, he successfully used a strategy to eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops in Donghui Town. He would not have such good luck next time."

"I decided to adapt the village protection team to guerrillas, recruit soldiers outside the mountains, and expand our strength and influence."

"Otherwise, the casualties of a few people will cause us to get hurt and our combat effectiveness will be greatly affected."

"You go back immediately and tell Hu Yiwen that you can save the remaining three wounded people at all costs. The two soldiers who have already died will be buried in the mountains, but you must pass the news to their relatives and do this yourself."

"Tell his family that our guerrillas have limited strength and cannot give them enough compensation for the time being."

"When you set out, you took sixty oceans from the finances seized yesterday and temporarily compensated them for the pension of thirty oceans."

"When we build a base here in the future, we will continue to compensate them."

According to the current policy of the Eighth Route Army, the settlement fee and pension are definitely not as high as Zhou Cheng’s, and some troops with poor conditions do not even have one.

If the guerrillas continue to pay pensions and settlement fees according to this standard, they will go bankrupt if they fight at most two battles.

Zhou Cheng didn't want to give so much, but there was nothing he could do.

The troops have no mass base here. If they do not pay settlement fees and pensions to them according to the standards of the regular army, they will hide far away when they see the Eighth Route Army.

In their eyes, it is natural to serve as a soldier to eat food and get military pay.

If a unit has no military pay, no settlement fee, and no pension, it is a bandit.

If the guerrillas want to expand their strength in a short period of time, they can only recruit soldiers in the form of regular troops.

By the time we win more battles in the future, the troops have a mass base and are recognized by the villagers, so recruiting troops will not be so troublesome.

Of course, the pension and settlement fee should be paid will continue to be paid, but it must be determined according to the conditions of the troops at that time.

If the economic conditions are good, give more, and if the economic conditions are poor, give less, and compensate in other ways, such as the base area exempts the family from some public grain, allows children to go to school for free, and allocates more land to the family...

After Xiang Feng left, Zhou Chengru turned his attention to Li Yifang: "Squad Leader Li, you also have a very important task."

"If the guerrillas want to expand, they must have new recruits."

"You lead the remaining eight soldiers of the second squad, plus two machine gun teams of the firepower squad, two sharpshooters, a total of fifteen people, bringing all weapons and ammunition, and after it gets out of the mountain, before the Japanese army has returned to the east to the town to mobilize troops, take down all the traitors around who have been working hard for the Japanese to take down the surroundings."

"Picking the persimmons is soft. When you act, you must find out the opponent clearly. If the troops exceed ten, there are more than ten rifles, or if the traitors equipped with machine guns are not attacked for the time being. You are not an opponent yet. First, find those traitors with weak strength."

"If you take down a traitor, you will hold a public trial meeting in the village. If you need to be killed, you will kill them. Then take out some of them and return them to the villagers. If the traitor has land, they will be distributed to the villagers and finally recruit soldiers."

"Everyone who meets the conditions and voluntarily joins our guerrillas will compensate each family ten yuan of oceans and one hundred kilograms of grain as settlement expenses, and all of them will be paid out from the seizure. When the land is divided, as long as someone from the family joins the Eighth Route Army, each family will be divided into three acres of fertile land."

"I'll give you five days to act and strive to bring me back fifty innocent recruits."

Xiang Feng returned from Xiaoling Village that night.

When he learned that Li Yifang led his troops out of the mountain to fight independently, he became anxious on the spot and found Zhou Cheng in a hurry: "Captain, you are too partial. Why should I let Li Yifang go out to fight? I will stay in the mountains."

Zhou Cheng was taking a break from sleep. He had sex for a day and a night yesterday and was so tired.

Seeing Xiang Feng running over hurriedly, he thought something had happened. After hearing this, he realized that he was here to grab the task and was very happy.

If an army wants to make progress, it must have the spirit of not being willing to fall behind and competing with each other.

Looking at Xiang Feng, he comforted: "Don't worry. You have a task too."

"I counted it during the day today and reduced the prisoners we promised to let go, and there were 63 prisoners in my hands."

"After training, many of them were the former Jinsui Army, the Central Army, and fought the Japanese. It would be a pity if they just let them go."

"If they can be told to join us, the combat effectiveness of the guerrillas will definitely increase."

"Your mission is to mobilize prisoners with me to join the guerrillas and fight the Japanese with us."
