Rise from the sword

Chapter 251 It is no longer the domineering imperial army that used to be
"The little devil has re-occupied Jiazhuang?"

Walking into the regiment headquarters, Zhang Dabiao knew why the regiment leader asked him to come to the meeting.

The new kid finally made his move.

It's just that the way the little devil did it was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Yes, the little devil reoccupied Jiazhuang yesterday."

Seeing the last Zhang Dabiao walk in, an investigative intelligence officer in charge of reporting introduced the information he had inquired in an orderly manner, but his tone was full of worry, as if he was very pessimistic about the situation:

"However, this time the little devil did not send people to force labor to build a blockhouse in Jiazhuang, send some troops to station, and then find a traitor landlord to search for the people."

"Instead, we sent a few traitorous administrators from North China to form a so-called vigilante association with some former bully landlords. They spread the word that the little devils are here to help us all day long, so that the common people should not resist. Still entangled A group of ruffians and rascals were recruited, and the devils issued weapons to form a new security brigade."

"Jia Zhuang was handed over to this group of people by the little devil."

"This group of people registered all the people in several villages near Jiazhuang, and implemented the previous Baojia system. Anyone who entered or left the village had to report to them and register. People in the village must explain why they leave the village, and they regularly send people to check, and they even stipulate that no traffic at night is allowed.”

"In addition, this group of bastards also require the common people to report all transactions and pay taxes according to their share. If they are found to have concealed and failed to report, they will be shot immediately."

"The security brigade is also constantly recruiting new bullies and hooligans. Some of the family members of the Jiazhuang Liu traitor who we wiped out last year joined the security brigade."

After hearing one piece of news, everyone frowned.

As a cadre of the regiment, battalion and company level, he has dealt with the common people in various villages in the base area for a long time, and everyone still has some insight, and they are very clear about the consequences of the little devil's actions.

Once the little devil spreads this trick in various villages, the people in the village will be completely controlled by the devil, and the independent group will completely lose contact with these villages occupied by the devil, and no news will be sent back.

Even the intelligence personnel sent out could not get close to the village.

In the past, the devils were short of manpower and could not completely control the occupied area, and the puppet army just dawdled around, turning a blind eye. At that time, the devils occupied the area, and the independent regiment was free to enter and leave.

But this time the devils specially recruited a group of local ruffians to control the village. This group of people did all kinds of evil, most of them were hardcore traitors, and they were very difficult to deal with the Eighth Route Army. Because it was the independent regiment who killed their master, Liu Da's traitorous family.

Moreover, this time the devils used the puppet army and traitors to control the various villages, and the troops were liberated, and there was no longer the weakness of the previous large territory that caused the troops to be dispersed.

"The little devil's hand..."

"nice."

Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes, and his tone was indescribably calm:

"Use traitors to alleviate the shortage of manpower, use traitors to strengthen the ability to rule, use various means to strengthen the control of the people, and cut off our connection with the people in the devil-occupied areas."

"It seems that the little devil has also realized the source of our real power."

In the last sentence, Zhao Gang sneered.

Commissar Zhao understood the reason for the devil's move better than anyone else.

In the past few years, the little devil has actually felt very aggrieved.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army has an absolute advantage in military strength. After all, there is only one independent regiment, and the weapons and ammunition provided by Boss Chen are far from enough to equip the entire army. The overall strength of the Japanese army is far stronger than our own.

But in the past few years, instead of destroying the Eighth Route Army, the army has expanded to tens of thousands of people, and its strength has increased by nearly ten times. The territory it has already occupied has been opened up by others, and it is getting bigger and bigger .

Presumably, the little devil was also puzzled by this matter.

Now, the little devil finally understands that the reason why the army is getting stronger and stronger, and the reason why there are more and more base areas, is precisely because of the support of hundreds of millions of ordinary people.So began to strengthen the control of the people.

"Then what should we do?"

Zhang Dabiao thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a good solution for a while.

Before defeating the new devils in Shou County, they had no choice but to watch the devils strengthen their control over the occupied area, and after strengthening the control area, the devils would inevitably extend it further and invade the independent regiment step by step. base.

This is a conspiracy to force the independent regiment to fight the devils.

The current strength of the independent regiment is that it can fight a full brigade one-on-one, and even defeat it, but if it does not have a geographical advantage to fight the devils, it will inevitably pay a heavy price.

And there is more than one full-staffed brigade of devils.

As for the attack, it is absolutely impossible. Back then, the devils in Shou County suffered heavy losses, and they did not dare to come out of the suppressed city gates. The independent regiment had no choice but to take the county seat, let alone the full-staffed permanent division brigade in Shou County now. .

The independent regiment lacks the ability to attack tough problems.

"How to do?"

Leader Li also sneered, with a strong tone of disdain:
"We'll just watch."

"The little devil thinks too highly of those puppet troops and the common people too much. He wants to use this trick to compress our base area and force us to fight a decisive battle. His idea is quite beautiful."

"After so long, I still haven't learned my lesson."

"However, the little devil has learned to behave a little bit, so he won't take the initiative to attack this time."

"It seems that this imperial army is no longer the domineering imperial army of the past."

After staying with Chen Fan for a long time, Captain Li has also learned to be yin and yang.

Leader Li's words gave everyone confidence.

Following Li Yunlong's strange aura, several people also recalled the past years.

Sure enough, the old saying goes, if you don't get beaten, you won't be honest.

In the first two years of the Anti-Japanese War, the devils were so arrogant that a small team dared to jump around in the base area. After being beaten by the troops a few times, they calmed down a bit, but they were still very arrogant. After all, at that time, the combat effectiveness of the troops was not strong enough. Last year, the group of new devils from Yangquan split up their troops as soon as they arrived. Sixteen gun towers were built at the same time, and they didn't pay attention to the independent regiment at all.

But now, a full brigade of a permanent division didn't dare to directly attack the independent regiment's base, but the troops gathered firmly, looking for an opportunity to fight the independent regiment.

In the end, it was Zhao Gang who explained to everyone:
"The devil's hand, other bases have already been used by devils, and we have already prepared for it..."

······
afternoon.

Jia Zhuang.

Wang Daquan, who was dropped from Taiyuan and just took office as the president of the Shou County Maintenance Association and concurrently the captain of the security brigade, is cursing at a middle-pointed man:

"Why are there only so few people joining the security brigade?"

"There used to be more than 100 people in the Liu family compound? Where are those people?"

"You are like this, how can I let you be the team leader?"

The person he scolded was also a small captain of the security brigade, with a bastard box just distributed by the imperial army pinned to his waist. This person was the head of the guard of the Liu family compound before, and a well-known bully near Jiazhuang.

When Li Yunlong led a team to attack Liu's compound, this person escaped in the chaos and hid near Jiazhuang. This time, the little devil sent someone to find him.

"They all refused to come."

The squad leader with a split head looked at Wang Daquan, who also split his head in the middle, and responded weakly.

This little devil doesn't know what's going on, he forces all the captains of the security team to wear this kind of hairstyle. This hairstyle is so fucking ugly, and I don't know why the little devil likes this hairstyle.

"Everyone refuses to come?"

Wang Daquan frowned.

In the past, there were more than 120 nursing homes in the Liu family compound, a dozen of them were killed by that so-called Li Yunlong, and more than a hundred survived. This group of people met the requirements of the security team and were loyal to the imperial army. Like the original Huangxie Army in Shou County, it was full of the Eighth Route Army's eyeliner.

But this time, when he formed a security team, only three of them participated.

Moreover, he personally found these three one by one.

what's the situation?
what's the situation?
He came all the way from Taiyuan, and served as the captain of the security team in countless counties, but he had never encountered such a situation. Those guys who were wanted by the Eighth Route Army and hid themselves refused to join the Imperial Army?

Shouldn't you take the initiative?

"They dare not come."

The team leader of the middle branch answered honestly.

If it weren't for the fact that he was desperate and didn't even have a place to eat, he actually didn't want to come.

No, I dare not come.

Because this is Li Yunlong's territory.

Working for the little devil here, he really put his head on the waistband of his trousers. If he was not careful, his head would fall to the ground.

As long as the other former Liu family nursing homes and servants could find work, no matter how bad it was, they would definitely not come to work for the Japanese, although working for the Japanese would definitely lead a comfortable life.

But it's better to die than to live.

Little life matters.

"Don't you dare?"

Wang Daquan from Taiyuan was at a loss.

it turns out····
Afraid to join the security team?

He has heard of not joining the security team for the sake of the so-called righteousness of the family and the country, and he has also heard that he doesn't like Juju and refuses to serve the imperial army, but he has never heard of people not joining the security team because of fear.

"Why not?"

Wang Daquan's eyes twitched.

Are these people idiots?
Can't understand the form?

The imperial army is so powerful, with machine guns, cannons, and even aircraft and tanks. The front line has beaten the national government to the ground and occupied most of the territory of the Republic of China. The rear has beaten the guerrillas into the mountains. The mighty, but also caused more than 1000 casualties of the imperial army (the locust army said it themselves).

Great common prosperity is just around the corner.

This group of people dare not do business for the imperial army?
Could it be that he was afraid that the conditions agreed by the imperial army would be empty words?
He seems to have thought of the reason.

"You tell those people."

Wang Daquan raised his tone:

"What the imperial army promised will definitely be done. You are the first small captain of my security team. When the time comes, I will let you take your security team to manage the wealthiest villages around Jiazhuang. Here is Your sphere of influence is your territory, as long as you pay taxes to the imperial army regularly, the imperial army will absolutely not care what you do."

"Moreover, the imperial army will protect your safety."

Wang Daquan's voice was full of temptation.

"Let Jiazhuang and the surrounding villages be managed by me?"

The leader of the middle branch team licked his lips, obviously a little moved.

If he could manage these big villages, he would definitely be able to eat well and drink spicy food every day, and become a master. As for the taxes that the little devil wants, these villages can easily collect them.

There is even a surplus to save a small treasury for yourself.

For a moment, he had an urge to persuade those in the Yang family compound one by one to join his security team, to take the identity of the security team leader and work for the Japanese.

only·····
This is Li Yunlong's territory...
Thinking of Li Yunlong who didn't know where he was, and thinking of the conversations he had with his former subordinates today, the heart of the squad leader in the middle branch became cold.

He still remembers the corpses of devils that were randomly discarded in the woods outside Shou County at the end of last summer.

Li Yunlong, who murdered without batting an eyelid and had hundreds of imperial soldiers' lives in his hands, was still near Shou County. Back then, the devils in Shou County were so powerful, so it was because Li Yunlong led the Eighth Route Army to surround the county and people dared not come out.

Although it is tempting to be the head of several villages, life is still a matter of life.

I'm afraid that the village on his side has not been obtained yet, and Li Yunlong has already ordered people to kill him.

"I'm still not the team leader."

Gritting his teeth, the team leader who split his head in the middle said: "The people under my command before, I really can't persuade them. You should find the team leader again. I'll just be a soldier."

After speaking, he put the bastard box in his hand on the table.

According to the conditions negotiated before, if he can recruit more than 30 players, let him be the team leader, and then take over the management of several villages around Jiazhuang according to the rules of Wang Daquanjiao.

"Go back and think about it again. You can tell your former subordinates what I said earlier. I miss them."

The corner of Wang Daquan's eyes twitched, and finally said helplessly.

After the team leader of Zhongfen left with the bastard box, he went to meet another person, who was also brought over from Taiyuan:

"How about it, have you recruited anyone to work for the imperial army?"

The visitor did not speak directly, but sighed deeply, then shook his head, and then said, his tone was full of helplessness: "No one is willing to join the security team."

"No one?"

"Well, not a single one."

"What the hell is going on here?"

After confirmation, the traitor who was in charge of training security teams for the counties was dumbfounded.

What's going on in Shou County?

After arriving in Shouxian County, apart from a group of bandits he recruited from several surrounding counties, and a few gentry who were wanted by the Eighth Route Army and had to hide in Shouxian County, he only recruited less than ten people in Shouxian County.

All together, there are less than a hundred people.

With the few people in his hands, he can control a few villages at most.

The task given to him by the imperial army was to recruit at least 700 people and control dozens of surrounding villages.
