With a day or two of preparation, all the victims who came to the Independence Regiment base area were well fed.
The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has completely established its credibility in the hearts of the victims and has become a golden brand.
In less than two days, the independent group brought out enough food to entertain the victims that they could almost pile up a mountain.
The news has long spread among the people. It is said that not long ago, Commander Kong led the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to intercept three Japanese transportation lines to Yangquan, directly ambush three Japanese trains, and intercepted
thousands of tons of grain.
The common people no longer have the worry of not having enough food to eat, and they are increasingly cooperating with the soldiers' work.
We are waiting in an orderly manner at Dafengzhuang for the final commendation meeting, celebration party and welcome party.
……
……
The other side.
The news in the Dafengzhuang area, whatever Kong Jie wanted the Japanese to know, has basically reached the ears of the little Japanese.
"Thousands of victims brought out a large amount of food every day to feed the victims. The food brought out almost piled up in hills, at least dozens of tons."
"Your Excellency, Commander, according to intelligence investigation, there is definitely a large amount of food stored by the Eighth Route Army in Dafengzhuang. Perhaps it is the military food that our Empire of Japan intercepted and stored here."
The Japanese intelligence officer said when reporting to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.
Shinozuka Yoshio's teeth were itching with anger. The situation in front of him made it impossible for him to determine whether Kong Jie was using Dafengzhuang as bait in an attempt to set a trap again.
Or is it true that the Eighth Route Army hoarded intercepted military rations in Dafengzhuang?
After calming down, Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Chief of Staff Kitagawa: "How are the preparations for the troops responsible for this surprise attack and sweep plan?"
Kitagawa replied: "Please rest assured, general, all preparations have been completed and we are waiting for the general's final order to be issued at any time. The Yamauchi Regiment and the Kawakami Regiment will set off at the same time, closing in on the Dafengzhuang area from the left and right wings respectively."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "Xingxi, continue to explore the relevant information of Dafengzhuang, call the Yamauchi team and the Kawakami team to keep their troops ready at any time."
"Hi!"
……
……
Time passed quietly, and the conference held in Dafengzhuang, led by the Independent Group, officially kicked off.
A total of four meeting points have been set up throughout Dafengzhuang, as well as in some nearby villages.
At the same time, a general meeting was held, including a welcome party to welcome the victims to the base area of the Independence Regiment; a farewell party for the victims who returned to their hometowns to farm; and a commendation party to praise their active and diligent work during their stay in the base area; and the interception of Japanese soldiers.
Military Food’s Independence Regiment Celebration Party.
On the banner that was pulled up, there were bamboo poles on both sides, with big words written on it, indicating the content of the conference theme.
On the stage where Kong Jie appeared at the moment, a banner was pulled up with four big words written on it - "Welcome to the Conference".
Captain Kong showed up in person, and the people were excited when they learned of Kong Jie's identity.
Thunderous applause came and went, and it took a long time before it gradually subsided.
In order to hear Commander Kong's speech clearly, the people tacitly kept quiet. Even though there were nearly a thousand people sitting, the venue was completely quiet.
Kong Jie raised his voice very loudly, and his tone carried the aura of killing a general with an armed force and an iron horse.
His voice was powerful and spread far across the entire venue:
"Fellows, fellow countrymen, we are holding a welcome meeting here today. Who are we welcoming? Of course, we welcome everyone. I am here to represent all of our Eighth Route Army and welcome all the folks who come to our Eighth Route Army base area!" After another burst of thunderous applause.
Kong Jie continued:
"Folks, it's not easy for us people! We are at the bottom of society, and we do the hardest and most tiring farm work, but in the end, what we get to eat is the least and worst.
When there is a famine, the whole family has to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and chew the bark of trees. Some of them don't even have to chew the bark of the wild vegetables. This time, there is a drought in many provinces, and the people are displaced and they really can't survive.
, we can only escape and find a way to survive.
Why are we living so sad and miserable lives?
Isn’t the most important reason the corrupt people at the top ruthlessly exploiting and squeezing our people?
...From the chief security officer of Beiyang, to the mayor of the Republic of China, and then to the maintaining president of the Japs.
Which of these damn bastards are not bastards, vampires, parasites, people who do all kinds of evil in the land of fish and meat?
But why can we folks just grit our teeth, shed tears, and endure it silently?
Isn’t it because we folks have no one to support us!
The Japanese bully everyone because they have no guns, no weapons, and no strength to resist... But what I want to say is that this will never happen again in the future.
Because of the thunderbolt on this sunny day, our Eighth Route Army, the people's army composed of the lowest common people, our own children, and our own compatriots, was born!"
"We the people have our own army, our people's army, we have guns, we also have cannons, and we have the determination and courage to fight to the death against those oppressors and invaders."
"Are you still going to let them bully you?"
“Fuck the invaders, the little devils, the exploiters, the oppressors, all the bastards who dare to hinder the survival of our 40 million people in China will surely become rubble on our road of resistance and revolution.
That’s it!”
The thought-provoking speech gradually spread in Kong Jie's ups and downs. The people who were aroused could not help clenching their fists and even started shouting.
Kong Jie had a panoramic view of the different emotions of the people, and then changed the subject:
"Fellows, our brigade commander is invited to take the stage to speak!"
Bang bang bang bang——
Amidst the waves of applause, the brigade commander, wearing glasses and showing no anger or self-respect, strode onto the stage in a calm manner.
The brigade commander's reputation has long spread far and wide.
The entire venue became quiet again.
The brigade commander said loudly: "Folks, what Kong Jie said just now is very good! It can be said that it speaks to our hearts."
"Today the bandits are raging and attacking our mountains and rivers, the reactionaries are running rampant and persecuting all directions, droughts are spreading, natural and man-made disasters are coming all at once, and the Chinese nation can be said to be at its most dangerous time."
"But we must believe that the bright future will eventually come. Even if it is temporarily obscured by dark clouds, sooner or later we will see the light again."
"We, the Eighth Route Army, have the most solid backing from the villagers, and we, the villagers, have the Eighth Route Army troops as the most loyal backers. If both sides work together, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. All Japanese aggressors and revolutionary reactionaries are just a blow.
It's just a paper tiger.
China cannot be destroyed, and the Chinese nation will prosper again sooner or later...
This time our fellow villagers came to ask for help from our Eighth Route Army troops when they have difficulties. As soldiers of the people, our Eighth Route Army has this obligation and the responsibility to help everyone. Please rest assured... As long as you are here and have a place to live,
If you have food to eat, your hard-working hands will not deceive yourself. As long as you are willing to put in your efforts and we, the military and the people, work together, your life will not be short of..."
Seeing the victims looking at him with eyes full of trust and kindness, the brigade commander was also very generous and couldn't help but say more.
The identity of the brigade commander and the words of the brigade commander represent the Eighth Route Army troops.
What he said was touching and felt like a reassurance to the people.
From this, the people completely believed that the Eighth Route Army, the army of the people, was sincere and willing to tide over the difficulties with the victims, help each other, and help each other.
What the people want and what they hope for.
As the meeting continued, the image of the Eighth Route Army troops was once again pushed to its peak...
