At the new regiment headquarters, Huang Yuanqiang, holding a statistical table in his hand, had a smile on his face from the moment he entered the war room.
"Captain, the harvest has been calculated!"
"Chief Yan is stingy to us, but he is not stingy to the little Japs at all, and he is very generous. Perhaps in order to show his sincerity, he insisted on adding 20,000 jins of grain to the 3 million jins!"
"The weapons and ammunition provided by the Japanese to the Jinsui Army are very accurate. Four thousand rifles are just right, and not one rifle is much. In addition, there are 80 light and heavy machine guns, including 20 heavy machine guns and 60 light machine guns!"
"The number of ammunition is also the same as the commander of the Jinsui Army said, a total of 500,000 rounds of various bullets!"
"The last thing we captured from the Japanese and puppet troops was a total of 1,150 rifles, 29 light machine guns, four heavy machine guns, and six mortars, all of which looked like they had fired 150,000 rounds!"
"The only problem now is that the Jinsui Army you brought back, Commander, totals more than 1,400 people, which is exactly one regiment! They have exactly one regiment's equipment. It's up to you to decide what to do with it!"
"If it doesn't work, let's report it directly to the military region and see what the military region says?"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "There is no need to trouble the commander for such a small matter!"
"All the weapons brought by the Jinsui Army regiment will be disarmed and treated as trophies. Not only the weapons, but also the more than a thousand people in this regiment will be taken away. Send more political cadres over and mobilize them to join the Eighth Route Army."
Huang Yuanqiang replied with a worried look on his face: "Will this violate discipline? Our Commander Yan is famous for being stingy and calculating. We swallowed him whole in one go, and he didn't even fight for us!"
"I used to!" Wang Ping replied.
"But he definitely won't do it this time. Even if he knew that we had swallowed up one of his regiments and robbed 4,000 rifles and 80 light and heavy machine guns belonging to him, he could only endure it!
"Allowing the enemy is a serious crime. Even in Chongqing, once it is made public, it will range from investigation and punishment to death. Do you think that for us, Commander Yan, the title of commander of the World War II zone and his honor are important?
The troops of a regiment are still important!”
"The hat of the commander of the World War II zone must be important!" Huang Yuanqiang replied with a look of realization.
"As long as Chief Yan asks us for that batch of equipment and troops, his deal with the Japs will be made public. No matter how much Chongqing protects him, he will be punished. What's more, Chongqing may not protect him. So,
Commander Yan will never make this matter public, and he will not ask us if we hate this batch of equipment and troops!"
"Not bad!" Wang Ping affirmed.
"The Jinsui Army is different from the puppet army. At least there are no real traitors in it, and they are all good guys who fight the Japanese. So, my idea is to directly integrate this regiment into two battalions. Of course, the Jinsui Army regiment
All the mid-level and senior officers inside must be kicked out. If they are willing to join our Eighth Route Army, they must undergo comprehensive training before they can join the army!"
"Yes, leader!" Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang no longer hesitated.
Just as he was about to leave, Wei Yong, director of the Security Intelligence Division, rushed in.
"Captain, the urgent information just sent from Linfen City came from inside sources!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops in Linfen City changed their policy towards the common people! In order to obtain food, they decided to re-levy grain from the common people. Unless their family members joined the puppet army, each household would hand over fifty kilograms of grain, which could not be collected within the stipulated time.
If so, the Japanese and puppet troops will directly send troops to the countryside to collect food!"
Huang Yuanqiang immediately took back the steps he took. He was stunned for a moment, then stared at Wang Ping with his big eyes and sighed: "Captain, you are right!"
"For the sake of food, the little devil really changed his policy of being gentle towards the people!"
"Now it seems that you made the right move by leaving the guard camp in the area occupied by the Japs. As long as the Japs start to requisition food, the people will be forced to rebel. In addition, the Japs will tighten externally and loosen internally in the occupied areas."
With this policy, the guard battalion will definitely do a lot in the areas occupied by the Japanese!"
Wang Ping immediately replied: "Yes, that's what I thought at the beginning!"
"Hong Ruijun has three companies in his hands. I will give him half a year, at most half a year, to expand the three companies into three battalions!"
"Now give orders to Hong Ruijun and report the intelligence to him. All local armed forces and guerrillas in the Japanese-occupied areas will be under his command. I will expand the three companies into three battalions. Tell Hong Ruijun that the new regiment No.
The Eighth Battalion, the new Eighth Battalion, the independent Eighth Battalion, I will keep it for him!"
Xiangyan Village, twenty kilometers outside Linfen City, is a very large village.
Since yesterday, the atmosphere in the village has changed.
There were people at home who joined the Imperial Alliance Army, and the atmosphere was very good. People who did not join the Imperial Army Alliance shut themselves up at home, and then cursed the little devils in their hearts.
"Master, what are we going to do? The Japanese are so cruel. They can carry fifty kilograms of grain in one mouthful. All our family assets combined are less than one hundred and fifty kilograms of grain. We may not be able to live frugally just by eating wild vegetables.
Hold on until the autumn harvest. Now that the little devil has taken away fifty pounds of grain, the family will definitely run out of food!" The wife, whose age clearly did not match the traces of time left on her face, cried and asked.
"How do I know what to do?" the equally old husband frowned and cursed.
"The little devil asks us for food, can we not give it to him?"
"If you don't take the initiative to give it now, when they come to grab food from your house, it won't be fifty pounds, but everything!"
The wife cried and asked: "How can we survive without food?"
The husband frowned and smoked a choking native cigarette without saying anything.
"Bang bang bang~"
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded in their ears.
When he opened the door, the husband was startled at first, then let the person in, stretched out his head to take a look outside, and quickly closed the door with a sneaky expression.
"Zhang Tian, why are you back? Didn't you join the Eighth Route Army guerrillas? If you come back now, if the little devil and the second devil find out, you will be shot!"
"Second uncle, I know what you said...I came back this time on a mission!" The young man who flashed into the house quickly replied.
"Have you received the news that the Japanese are going to distribute food, and are you worried about what to do?"
The husband frowned and replied: "Your aunt and I are worried about this matter. There was a bad harvest last year and there was not much food. If you give the Japanese fifty kilograms of food, your second uncle's family will definitely live out of food shortage."
Not until the autumn harvest!”
"I have a way!" Zhang Tian replied confidently.
