At this point, the battle in the mine came to an end. Kong Jie was relieved that only some national soldiers on his side were injured and no one died.
All the Japanese troops in the mine were killed and 27 puppet soldiers were captured.
When he ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield, Kong Jie stood in front of the puppet soldiers who were squatting together with their hands raised in surrender, and cursed: "What I hate most in my life are you weaklings. You usually show off your power and bully the people. Hands on, the battle broke out just now, damn, I didn’t even know where to put the gun.”
"Is there anyone who is an official? Stand up and let me see you!"
After Kong Jie finished speaking, many of the puppet soldiers holding their heads looked at one of them.
In desperation, the puppet platoon leader walked out of the team tremblingly, bent slightly, saluted Kong Jie, and said: "Eighth Route Commander, the younger one is the platoon leader of the Imperial Association Army. The battle just started At that time, we didn't dare to fight back. As soon as the commander opened his mouth, I immediately called on the brothers to throw down their guns and surrender, and asked the commander to be lenient and let the brothers go!"
Kong Jie sneered, "Whether you survive or not is not my decision."
After finishing speaking, Kong Jie said to the miners who were gradually gathering, "Compatriots, I know that there are prisoners of the national army who were captured by the Japanese as coolies, as well as civilians who were forcibly captured."
"Don't worry, our Eighth Route Army is here to save you."
"Brothers from the national army, you should know these companions behind me, right?"
Kong Jie said, and asked the monk, howitzer, Dong San and other Chinese soldiers behind him to stand up.
"It's me, Wei Dayong!" The monk smiled brightly.
"And me, Dong San!"
Monk, Howitzer and Dong San are old faces in this mine. Many workers in this mine know the three of them.
Seeing the three monks now, the workers trusted Kong Jie more and more.
Kong Jie asked the monks and others to distinguish the workers. The captured national soldiers stood on the left, and the common people captured by the Japanese stood on the right.
After making the distinction, Kong Jie pointed to the puppet platoon leader not far away and said to the people: "Folks, this guy, the traitor platoon leader, just knelt on the ground and begged me to spare his life. What about me? I want to ask everyone if this guy has ever done any bad things that harmed the lives of fellow villagers and made him unconscionable."
"We in the Eighth Route Army treat prisoners preferentially, but we have to look at the circumstances. If they are traitors who have committed many evil deeds, we will kill one of them. If there are two, we will kill a pair."
"Everyone should speak openly, especially those who are oppressed and mistreated by these puppet troops in daily life. Please single them out for me, and I will make the decision for you here."
After Kong Jie finished speaking, the more than fifty people were silent for a moment. A bolder middle-aged man was the first to speak, "Eighth Route Commander, can't you keep that bitch and traitor leader? How much blood of the villagers has been stained on his hands?" ! Many people who were forcibly captured by the little devils died of exhaustion, starvation and freezing in this mine. It was the traitor leader who ordered them to be dragged out and buried. Please ask comrades from the Eighth Route Army to make the decision for us people!"
"Comrade Eighth Route Army please make the decision for us!"
More and more people responded.
The puppet platoon leader's face turned pale for a moment, "Eighth Route Commander, I..."
A dead horse is treated as a living doctor. In order to survive, the puppet platoon leader wanted to argue something. Kong Jie didn't want to talk to him. He raised his hand and shot, which directly caused the puppet platoon leader's forehead to burst with blood. The puppet soldiers beside the puppet platoon leader trembled and quickly moved closer.
The common people were stunned. They did not expect that this Eighth Route comrade would be so decisive, and then they felt happy that their great revenge was avenged. Some of the bold ones even applauded.
With precedent, some traitors in the puppet army who had done many evil things and had too much blood of innocent people on their hands were discovered by the people again.
Without exception, they were all killed by Kong Jie's order.
The puppet squad leader who once made things difficult for the monk in the mine was also one of the members who committed many evil deeds. He was killed by the monk himself in revenge.
Then Kong Jie ordered that some of the money and property seized from the Japanese and puppet soldiers should be taken out and distributed to the people.
"Everyone, take the money and go back early! Be careful when you go out in the future, and don't let the Japanese capture you for hard labor. If life in the enemy-occupied area is really unbearable, go live near our Eighth Route Army base area, where it is relatively stable. "
The people took the money, thanked Kong Jie and his party, and hurriedly fled the mine.
Looking at the people gradually disappearing, Kong Jie sighed sadly. He could only help the people so much. After that, he would lead his team to fight all the way out, trying to attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops. He hoped that We can successfully protect the people here and return home.
As for the remaining puppet troops, Kong Jie looked at them coldly and said: "I will save your lives for the time being. When you return to the team, tell those two devils that the bad things you did when you were lackeys for the devils are all here." The people are just pretending! Sooner or later, our Eighth Route Army will come to settle accounts with you, so think about what you can and cannot do."
"Who dares to keep the belongings on his body? Don't blame me for being rude. After you stay, just get out!"
The puppet soldiers who were lucky enough to survive didn't dare to say anything.
He quickly took out all his belongings and left them behind, and then left in fear.
To deal with these puppet troops, we cannot use the same methods as the Japanese.
If Kong Jie kills all these puppet troops today.
First, it violated the regulations of the Eighth Route Army on how to deal with prisoners.
Secondly, they were about to evacuate, and it was inconvenient to take these puppet prisoners with them.
Thirdly, once the news gets out, surrendering will mean death. On the contrary, it will cut off the puppet army's escape route. Will they have to resist desperately when encountering the Eighth Route Army in the future?
Therefore, it is better to let them go back, which can disintegrate the combat effectiveness of the puppet army and reduce the oppression of the puppet army on the people.
In addition, the enemy's Ministry of Industry, which mainly targets the puppet army, may also be able to make some articles based on this.
As for whether these puppet troops would reveal information, Kong Jie didn't care.
What he wanted was to make the little devil sleepless and uneasy. If he didn't know the name of Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, wouldn't this trip have been in vain?
After settling the people and dealing with the puppet troops, the next step was to arrange for the captured national soldiers in front of them.
The national soldiers who can stay here to do hard work and are unwilling to surrender and become traitors have some backbone and blood. This is what Kong Jie appreciates. Therefore, the way to deal with these national soldiers is similar to howitzers and Dong San. Almost waiting for others.
For those who are willing to stay, Kong Jie raises his hands in approval.
If you want to leave, after escaping from the area controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops this time, Kong Jie will not stop you.
Due to the current military emergency, Kong Jie had no doubts about the employment of these captured soldiers by the Chinese army. He temporarily organized all these soldiers into a commando combat team and ordered each of them to be assigned some guns and ammunition.
Considering that these national army soldiers had not had a full meal for a long time, Kong Jie set aside some time to prepare compressed biscuits and water for these soldiers to fill their stomachs.
This series of measures, coupled with the life-saving grace, naturally won Kong Jie the respect of these national army soldiers.
In addition, when Kong Jie arranged for the people to deal with the puppet troops, the commandos, howitzers and others were not idle.
Soon, Mu Mu came to report, "Reporting to the leader, we made a lot of money this time. We seized a lot of good things. I have never seen a lot of equipment. Dong San said that they can all be put to great use. If not Several trucks were also seized from this mine, and it is not easy for us to take away these equipment and tools."
Kong Jie nodded and said: "It's a good idea to seize the equipment. Let's fight out safely first! It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Tell your comrades to prepare to evacuate immediately."
"Captain, where is this mine?"
"Have all the workers in the mine been evacuated?" Kong Jie asked.
"They've all been pulled out."
"Then blow it up. These little naughty little devils are consuming our China's resources, but they are using it to develop their military industry, and then continue to invade us. If we don't blow it up, we will be sorry for our conscience."
"Yes!" Mu Mu responded, "Don't worry, captain, we will blow up this mine completely!"
