Just when Ye Min and the commando team members were holding Chen An, they were discussing how to carry out the first step of the plan to seize cash flow and material flow with arms.
On the other side, Kong Jie called Li Wenjie.
After the conversation between Kong Jie and Li Wenjie last time, Li Wenjie stayed in the fifth battalion of new recruits and served as a temporary instructor.
"Captain, are you looking for me?"
"Well, sit down!"
"Hey!"
Li Wenjie responded and sat down on the kang very naturally. A fire had been lit in the cooking class to prepare lunch for the regiment soldiers. The earthen kang connected to the kitchen quickly warmed up, so at this moment the earthen kang in the regiment headquarters
The Kang is very warm, and the temperature in the room has risen a lot compared to the cold outside.
"How do you feel during these few days in the recruit camp?" Kong Jie asked with a smile.
Li Wenjie replied: "Commander, it's not bad. There are three new battalions, the fifth battalion, the sixth battalion and the seventh battalion. In fact, the situation is similar. There are a total of more than 1,300 troops, of which more than 800 are from our local army."
Comrades, there are also militia comrades, and the other more than 500 people are puppet soldiers who surrendered."
"It has been nearly two weeks since the new camp was established. Whether it is the original local comrades, the militia comrades, or the puppet soldiers who surrendered later, everyone has been training very actively."
Speaking of this, Li Wenjie smiled and said: "I still remember that the fifth battalion of new recruits had just been established, and the commander of the first battalion said this when he spoke to the comrades of the fifth battalion of new recruits."
"My name is Wang Leihu, and I am the battalion commander of the first battalion of our independent regiment. During the military training of new recruits, I will temporarily serve as your acting battalion commander."
"From now on, I don't care what your previous status was, whether you were farmers, businessmen, militiamen, local army troops, or surrendered puppet soldiers."
"From today on, you only have one identity. Remember it all for me. This is the only identity.
"What's your identity?"
"Recruit egg!"
"In the next one month or even longer military training for new recruits, you will suffer a lot, sweat a lot, and some may even get injured, but I would rather you get injured in training than on the battlefield.
Those who can persevere even if they risk their lives are those who are strong in iron, and those who are soldiers with backbone."
"If you can't persevere, let me tell you, listen to my advice and go home and take your children as soon as possible. This army is not the place you should be."
……
"Captain, don't look at the battalion commander's straightforward character. Sometimes he is rough and subtle. After saying this, all the recruits seemed to be standing on the same starting point. The identities that originally made everyone feel uneasy were all removed.
Forgot, now everyone is a recruit, this is a team of recruits."
"In the following recruit training, everyone was divided into training teams according to companies, platoons, and even classes. They compared, competed, and helped and collaborated with each other. Soon there was a sense of collectiveness."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "These soldiers are all good soldiers regardless of their previous status. What they lack is just a commander who can lead them on the right path. What they lack is only a good atmosphere and effective military training."
”
"The establishment of the new recruit battalion is not only to allow them to adapt to all aspects of the environment of our independent regiment's regular combat troops, but more importantly, to allow them to develop a sense of obedience, a sense of collective honor, and a sense of collective cooperation and cooperation." p>
"So I repeatedly emphasized to the three battalion commanders that after the establishment of the recruit camp, queue training should be given top priority. Regardless of this simple queue training, it can exactly achieve the goals I mentioned above."
Li Wenjie said: "Yes, Commander, since the establishment of the new recruit camp, the recruits have made great progress. A temporary recruit establishment like this can indeed play an excellent role in the collective growth of the recruits."
"What about ideological aspects? You are an instructor, and you should have been in contact with the comrades in the recruit camp. How do you understand them?" Kong Jie asked.
Li Wenjie said: "Fortunately, the local army and militia comrades have always been formed under the influence of our Eighth Route Army, so their goals are very clear, at least they are clear that they are to fight the Japanese, resist aggression, and protect their homeland.
."
"The soldiers who surrendered to the puppet army are slightly less ideologically aware. Some are used to the life in the army. If they don't stay in the puppet army, they stay in the Eighth Route Army. They always want to fill their stomachs; others
I don’t want to bear the reputation of being a traitor anymore, and I feel that the Eighth Route Army is at least a fighting force.”
Kong Jie said with a smile: "The ideological consciousness is low, but these reasons are more real. This is why they deserve our trust."
Li Wenjie nodded and said: "The regiment leader is right. As for higher ideological understanding, I have already discussed it with the commander of the first battalion in the fifth battalion. After training the soldiers, we will give them some ideological education classes.
."
"In addition, I found that many times it is up to us political cadres to instill ideas into the soldiers, but it is not as profound as for them to summarize their thoughts themselves."
"So the grievance meeting, or story-telling meeting, is very practical at this time, allowing the recruits to talk about their previous experiences, whether it is the experience of being a common people or the experience of being a puppet army."
"They have completely opened their hearts, and the things buried deep in their hearts have been spoken out, and they have been accepted, sympathized, cared and empathized by the comrades around them. This will allow them to fully integrate into this big family, and there will no longer be anything to hide in their hearts.
The lingering haze."
Kong Jie praised: "Well done, Wenjie, it seems that you are getting more and more aware of how to do a good job as an instructor."
Li Wenjie said: "Commander, please don't laugh at me. The instructors of the sixth and seventh battalions of new recruits all do better than me."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Humility is a good thing, but you should also be more confident. They are veteran instructors and naturally have more experience. But you are better in knowledge, younger, and more flexible in thinking."
"By the way, I called you here this time because I want to discuss something with you."
Li Wenjie said: "Commander, please tell me."
Kong Jie said: "Let me ask you, how many soldiers do we have in the Niukou Village base area?"
Li Wenjie was stunned for a moment and replied: "Currently, our team has three veteran combat battalions and three new battalions, with a total strength of 2,538 troops."
Kong Jie nodded and asked: "I heard that you have done some research on the villages around us, including Niukou Village, Xicun, Zhangjiazhuang, including the larger and larger villages farther away. What is the situation of the people in the villages?
Like?"
Li Wenjie replied: "The larger villages have hundreds of households, and the smaller ones have less than a hundred households. The number of villagers is even more than a thousand, and the number of villagers is only about a hundred. In addition,
The proportion of young people is relatively small, only about 20 to 30%."
"Although the average number of people in each village is not large, there are quite a few villages around our base area. If added together, the number of people is no less than 10,000."
"Based on the fact that 20% to 30% of young people are young, the total number of young people in all villages is about 3,000."
Li Wenjie has made detailed statistics on these data and recorded them in books, so when Kong Jie asked about it, Li Wenjie gave a very detailed answer.
Kong Jie asked again: "So what is the enemy situation of the Japanese and puppet troops in the area around us? Let's mainly talk about the strength of the Japanese army."
