Du Aiguo's statement and surrender saved Kong Jie a lot of trouble.
Having such a puppet army leader taking the lead can set a good example for other surrendering puppet armies.
Kong Jie smiled, this was an unexpected surprise, and the more than 500 puppet troops who surrendered together were another big help.
"Sir..."
"Sir, please stop calling me. Our Eighth Route Army doesn't like this. Lao Du, just like everyone else, call him Captain!"
Lao Du...
It would be a lie to say that I am not touched by such an intimate title. According to Du Aiguo's age, he is indeed one or two years older than Kong Jie.
"Yes, leader!" Du Aiguo responded.
Kong Jie said: "That's right, Lao Du, but I have to make something clear to you. If you join our independent group, I will only be the group leader, but I can't give you an official position as big as the group leader."
Du Aiguo said with emotion: "Captain, what are you talking about? I have lived for so many years, and it is only today that I finally understand that I am on the right path. Even if you ask me to be a soldier who charges into battle, I will not hesitate. "
Kong Jie said with a smile: "The soldiers have naturally wronged you. In this way, the brothers who surrendered with you will temporarily form a new military battalion, and you will be the acting battalion commander. Whether you can be promoted to a regular officer depends on your performance."
"Yes, thank you very much, leader!"
Du Aiguo responded quickly, feeling quite excited. Although he was demoted from regimental commander to battalion commander, what kind of regiment was that? That's a traitor group!
Suddenly, he became the battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army, and he was also the battalion commander of a welding brigade such as the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
Although he was the acting battalion commander, Du Aiguo still felt like he was dreaming.
At the same time, I admired the rumored Captain Kong even more for his personal charm of knowing people and making good use of them.
After dealing with the puppet army, Kong Jie turned around and ordered the first and fourth battalion commanders: "These five hundred and twenty-one comrades who have surrendered, oh, and also the commander Du in front of us, take all the captured weapons. Give it back to them.”
"Ah? Captain, this..."
Wang Leihu didn't finish his words. Is this a little too hasty?
Du Aiguo was also a little confused. What's going on? Weapons were issued as soon as he surrendered?
Kong Jie's expression was very calm. These words were by no means random. He said loudly to Du Aiguo and the more than 500 puppet soldiers who surrendered:
"Since you chose to stay in our independent regiment and kill the Japanese with me, you are no longer puppet soldiers or traitors in my eyes. What are you? You are my brothers, Kong Jie, and my independent regiment. brother."
"I, Kong Jie, have always been suspicious of those who don't use them, but I don't trust those who employ them. If I can't even trust my own brothers, then how can I win the battle?"
"First battalion commander, fire the gun!"
"Yes!" Wang Leihu responded.
After guns and ammunition were quickly distributed to the more than 500 soldiers, Kong Jie suddenly smiled brightly:
"Brothers in the new camp, I congratulate you. You have just joined our independent regiment, and there is a war in front of you. I heard that your Third Army of the North China Security Army has done a good job in internal construction. It has its own independent field hospital and a It’s a small arsenal, so there’s nothing to say. Comrades have come to our independent regiment. It’s time for this arsenal of yours to move. Wouldn’t it be great to merge into our independent regiment together?”
"After all, our family has become a big business after the Independence Regiment, and I still have to provide everyone with enough guns and ammunition!"
"The next combat mission is very simple. I need everyone to lead the way and fight back. My brothers from the independent regiment will be like you, pretending to be a puppet army."
Only then did Du Aiguo react and said with some surprise: "Commander, you don't want to take over the arsenal within the Third Army, right?"
Kong Jie said: "Why not?"
"The Third Army does have a light weapons production arsenal, but it is located in the hinterland of the North China Security Army. It will not be easy for us to defeat it with just a few troops."
Du Aiguo couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and persuaded him that his regimental leader was too courageous.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "That's why we need the cooperation of your new barracks. We disguised ourselves as the North China Security Army and sneaked in, and then attacked the arsenal in one fell swoop.
In addition, the Japanese and puppet forces are currently focusing their attention on Li Jiapo. Even if you come here this time, I think it is to quickly support Li Jiapo's Yamazaki Brigade, right?
The Japanese and puppet troops are mobilized on a large scale this time, and the rear area is in a state of empty troops. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. If we suddenly disguise ourselves as the North China Security Army and fight back at this time, I don’t think the little Japanese and puppet troops will have time to react.
Previously, the Japanese squadron was destroyed quickly, and the news was not passed back.
You, the Third Regiment of the Puppet Army, didn't pass the news back, did you? "
Du Aiguo hurriedly said: "Regiment commander, don't worry, the third puppet regiment is not equipped with a radio station at all when it comes out this time. It mainly relies on the communication link with the Japanese squadron."
"That's right, this is the perfect opportunity for us to raid the puppet army's lair and seize the arsenal in one fell swoop!" Kong Jie said.
While we were talking, the battlefield on the Japanese squadron's side had also been quickly cleared.
Kong Jie arranged: "Fourth Battalion Commander."
"arrive!"
"Send a company of brothers to keep an eye on these more than a thousand puppet soldiers. Although I promised to let them leave and pay them travel expenses, if I let them run away now, some accidents will inevitably happen. Watch them here for two hours. , and then let me go."
"yes!"
"By the way, lend me their clothes and let the soldiers put on the clothes of the puppet army. After we finish the disguise, we will set off immediately."
…
Kong Jie was very courageous, and he made up his mind to take advantage of the empty troops of the puppet army to attack Huanglong.
All the several infantry artillery pieces that were pulled were left behind, and the 12th Company was in charge. After guarding these puppet prisoners for two hours, they pulled these artillery pieces back to their base.
The others quickly disguised themselves as three teams of the Third Army of the North China Security Army, set the direction, and headed quickly towards the home base of the North China Security Army.
On the way, he was one of his own people in front of him. In addition, Kong Jie was approachable and trusted Du Aiguo.
Du Aiguo didn't pay that much attention anymore. He had doubts in his heart, so he asked: "Captain, it seems that you know the plan of Yamazaki Brigade?"
Kong Jie said disdainfully: "It's just a bait sent out by the Japanese army. They deliberately went deep alone in an attempt to attract the main force of our Eighth Route Army. Then they held tight and waited for the Japanese army to encircle them and eliminate the main force of our Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop."
Du Aiguo said: "That's indeed what happened. I've heard a little bit about it, but, Commander, looking at you, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all."
Kong Jie smiled and said: "What should I be anxious about? Aren't you curious as to why our independent group appears here?"
Du Aiguo said: "I do have this doubt. Commander, it stands to reason that the independent regiment should be on the way to besiege Yamazaki Brigade now."
"So, our independent regiment can also be counted as the fish that the Yamazaki Brigade uses as bait to catch. But, Lao Du, let me ask you, if the bait that the Japanese used to catch the main force of our Eighth Route Army has been taken out by a bite at this moment. Did you swallow it?"
"How can this be?"
Du Aiguo was surprised. He naturally understood what Kong Jie meant. Could it be that the Yamazaki Brigade had been destroyed in Lijiapo?
