"Lao Zhang, do you think this is how these people should be dealt with?" Chen Youquan asked with a frown.

The sight of hundreds of people snoring and wolfing down porridge was spectacular, but Zhang Yunfei had trouble with their arrangement.

These people are divided into three parts, one part is the Kuomintang, one part is the Eighth Route Army, and one part is divided into young and strong laborers, plus the captured puppet troops, there will be nearly 200 people to deal with at once, if they don't solve their problems

, it will seriously slow down the marching speed.

"Let's do this. Give those Kuomintang soldiers some dry food and let them leave on their own."

Chen Youquan thought about it for a while and decided that this was the best arrangement under the current situation. He would have sent them back to his army to save them some trouble.

"As for those arrested workers, you can figure it out and mobilize them. If they are willing to stay and join the Eighth Route Army, we welcome them. If they want to leave, that's up to them. We will also give them dry food and travel expenses."

In fact, Zhang Yunfei valued these eighty workers very much. The Japanese would not be too gentle when arresting them, and would even burn, kill, and loot their hometowns. Perhaps many of their families, wives, and children were killed by the Japanese butcher knives.

Therefore, they have the basis to join the Eighth Route Army, and the chance of success in mobilizing them to join the Eighth Route Army is still very high.

They were fighting guerrillas in a core area heavily guarded by Japanese troops. The situation was very complicated and their development had been unsatisfactory. Although Zhang Yunfei had always advertised that he was on the path of elite soldiers, there were only a few people who joined the team. Even if he wanted to become an elite soldier, he could not actually become elite.

Woke up.

Their detachment is considered to be a battalion-level organization, but its personnel are less than one company for a long time. Although the number of guerrillas is smaller than that of the regular main force of the same level, they are still too small.

These eighty-odd laborers look a little frail now, but there is one good thing. Their bodies are all very strong. They were tortured and abused by the Japanese and survived without breaking down. There is nothing to say about their health.

As for those puppet troops, there is nothing to say. They can only cut the knot quickly and carry out surprise inspections separately. Those who commit many evil acts will naturally be executed, while others who do not do any serious evil can only be let go.

As for whether the death penalty is enough, Zhang Yunfei is not a legal practitioner, so this is not something he can consider. Moreover, in these war-torn times, the Eighth Route Army has been moved everywhere, so there are no cells for these traitors to stay.

Therefore, there can only be two outcomes of the judgment, one is execution, the other is release. There is no possibility of the third outcome. There is no such condition.

As for the last captured Eighth Route Army personnel, it would be easy to handle. As rescuers, they naturally had to accept the arrangements of themselves and others. They were also the smallest in number, only thirteen.

The fighting habits of the Eighth Route Army are all small-scale, mobile and flexible operations. The chance of being caught on the spot for those engaged in guerrilla warfare is still very small, unless they are injured.

However, the Japanese generally did not leave injured prisoners behind, so it is understandable that the Eighth Route Army had few prisoners.

"Old Chen, now is not the time for mother-in-law and mother-in-law. You also know the habits of the little devils. They have suffered a heavy loss and are bound to look for us everywhere to take revenge. We must straighten out the team members as soon as possible so that we can resume our mobile and flexible operations.

ability."

Now the Japanese are raiding everywhere. As for whether the people who left will fall into the enemy's hands again, this is not what Zhang Yunfei should consider. There is no such thing as mercy on the battlefield. They risked to save each other once, and they have already exhausted their benevolence.

This time they eliminated almost a small group of Japs. Based on the Japs' desire for revenge, if they were caught by the Japs again, they would probably not even be prisoners, but would be picked directly by the Japs.

As for whether they can escape the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops, it is up to everyone to accept their destiny, and everyone has to blame the other.

They sorted it out in the shortest time, and found that forty-five laborers were willing to stay. Together with the thirteen captured Eighth Route soldiers, they formed a temporary unarmed supplementary team.

Zhang Yunfei distributed the captured 38 rifles and some of the puppet army's guns to the rescued Eighth Route Army. As for the young men, well, let them carry them on their backs.

He also gave some guns and ammunition to the Kuomintang soldiers. He could not really let them march unarmed. If that happened, they would not even be able to fight back if they encountered the enemy again. He was not so ruthless as he was.

"Boss Zhang, it seems to me that they intend to follow us. Why not take them with us? There is strength in numbers." Looking at the group of Kuomintang soldiers going away, Li Ergou said a little puzzled

.

"You are the only one who talks too much." Zhang Yunfei glared dissatisfied at this coward who was full of energy again, and sighed, "War matters are ultimately political matters, and you don't understand this thing even if I tell you about it.

"

It is easy to recruit them, but the subsequent troubles are too great for him as a small acting detachment leader. During this sensitive period, he would rather recruit young workers without any military experience than fight those batches.

A veteran's idea.

After seeing off the friendly forces, examining and dealing with the puppet troops, and having grown in strength, the Pingchuan detachment embarked on the journey again.

Although their team has grown in size, their combat effectiveness has not improved substantially, and there are many more wounded in their team.

Those who are not willing to join their Eighth Route Army can find their own way out, and they can ignore them, but they cannot ignore the wounded and have to take them on the road.

Fortunately, they have an unarmed team composed of young and strong workers. Although they don't expect to have any combat effectiveness, it is still possible for them to carry the wounded and so on. At least it can save some physical strength for their combatants.

Considering that there are now more non-combatants in his team, including some wounded, Zhang Yunfei decided that his troops should continue to go south and find local organizations to at least send away these wounded.

In New Taipei, the only people who can contact local organizations are guerrillas who are familiar with the local conditions, and the troops operating here are Qi Dajiu's independent squadron.

Although their independent squadron was covered by Japanese artillery fire in the last blocking battle and was almost wiped out, the squadron is a bit unworthy of its name. Now it is at most the level of a district squad.

But after all, they are local snakes and know the local situation better, so they still need their help.

To be honest, Zhang Yunfei really didn't want to meet that reckless man Qi Dajiu, but the situation forced him to ask them for help, but he didn't know what their current situation was like.
