Yes, the real situation is that the Japanese captain was just testing this comrade who was lurking in the puppet army organization from beginning to end.
Just when you thought you had gained the Japs' trust.
The little devil might suddenly jump out and deceive you at some point.
If you infiltrate into the enemy's interior and lurk there, if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of no return.
After hearing the true story, Kong Jie was silent for a moment and said, "Wang An, I want you to convey a new order to the enemy's engineering department and the comrades in the enemy's engineering department."
"Yes, Commander, please say it!"
"Tell the comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry that our frontline combat troops are fighting the Japanese behind enemy lines. The combat environment is already extremely difficult, but compared to the comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry who have penetrated into the enemy's interior, they are even better."
"Please believe in the Independent Regiment and their leader. At any time, I, Kong Jie, and the Independent Regiment are the biggest backers of the comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry."
"You must be cautious and cautious when working within the enemy. But if it comes to the last resort and you are exposed and arrested, tell your comrades not to rush to make blind sacrifices."
"If you are arrested, as long as you can keep important secrets, it will be considered a victory and your life will be saved. Life is the capital of the revolution. It is the most precious at all times. Don't give it up easily.
The regiment headquarters will definitely find a way to launch a rescue operation in the shortest possible time. Our independent regiment will never leave a brother behind at any time! "
"Yes!" the reply sounded almost like a roar.
...When Wang An left the regiment headquarters, Kong Jie's last words were still echoing in his mind.
When he turned and walked away, there were even tears in the corners of his eyes.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
It was a great blessing for Wang An to meet a regiment leader like Kong Jie who understood the hardships of the enemy's work.
As for what Kong Jie just said, Wang An was sure that when he brought the regimental commander's original words to the comrades in the enemy's Ministry of Industry, he probably cried a lot.
The regimental commander and the independent regiment are the biggest backing for the comrades in the enemy's Ministry of Industry. With this backing, what else is there to be afraid of?
Kong Jie's last words gave hope to the comrades who had penetrated into the enemy.
These brave comrades fighting bravely within the enemy are not afraid of sacrifice or death, but what they fear most is despair.
Once arrested, imprisoned, and tortured, no matter how hard you persist, the despair of not being able to see the light of day is the easiest thing to break a person's will.
This is why it is relatively rare for a warrior to be tortured but never reveal any information after being captured by the enemy.
But if there is hope, that's a different matter.
If a comrade breaks into the enemy and is accidentally exposed, he knows that he will be rescued sooner or later.
With this hope, they will not be able to withstand the torture, and the possibility of revealing information will be much smaller.
If there are unfortunately captured soldiers of the Independent Regiment enemy of the Ministry of Industry, when they are brutally tortured, the soldiers should think:
The regiment commander will come to rescue me sooner or later. I am being tortured for now. When I return to the regiment, this will be the best proof of our bravery in fighting. It is also the backbone and honor that a soldier should have. Since I can't die, why should I be afraid of him? What are the Japanese little devils doing?
"Come on, you naughty little devil, why the hell are you tickling grandpa?"
Of course, this is a story for another day.
…
From Wang An, Kong Jie learned about the current basic development situation of the enemy's Ministry of Industry.
In the surrounding areas where the Independent Regiment is stationed, in Yangshou County, Ping'an County, Yangquan County, and even in Taigu, the enemy's Ministry of Industry's internal lines have successfully penetrated.
Now only Taiyuan is left.
The little devils were really guarding it like an iron barrel. In addition, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi was stationed in Taiyuan City. Compared with other counties, the security in Taiyuan City was much tighter.
In addition, the little devil's secret service agencies are also relatively concentrated in Taiyuan City.
The Independent Regiment's enemy's Ministry of Industry has not yet found a chance to infiltrate.
Even the operation of armed commandos to seize cash flow was only tried once in Taiyuan City, and it was in a relatively peripheral direction. It is not that easy for the Japanese and puppet banks in the central area to seize the cash with arms and then escape unscathed. .
Kong Jie could only wait for the opportunity to penetrate Taiyuan City.
…
After sorting out the issues that the regiment had to think about at the moment, Kong Jie walked out of the earthen house and prepared to walk around and stretch his body.
The monk, who was a security guard, naturally accompanied him.
When he arrived in the yard, he felt the cold weather and shivered a few times. Kong Jie almost couldn't help it and went back into the house. It was indeed a bit colder today.
The monk, who was obviously much thinner than Kong Jie, grabbed the stone lock placed in the corner of the yard and practiced for a while.
He is worthy of being a warrior monk from the Shaolin Temple. His physique is beyond praise.
"Monk, you are really not afraid of the cold!"
The monk said: "Hey, leader, practice more. This body will no longer feel cold when it gets hot. I'm not afraid of the cold. It's probably because of my youth. This person must be afraid of the cold easily as he gets older."
Kong Jie: "..."
"Bullshit, I'm not even 30 this year, and that guy Li Yunlong is one year older than me!" Kong Jie scolded with a dark face.
Thinking of his unyielding force value.
Kong Jie, who was looking at the monk, suddenly smiled evilly and said, "Monk, it's really cold today. Let's warm up by exchanging ideas."
Monk: "???"
The smile that followed was very bright, "Hey!"
Kong Jie: "Practice your hands. I'll attack and you'll defend. As we agreed, you're not allowed to take the initiative to attack. If you throw me down, I'll have to keep up with you when you sneak into my house to drink." You settle the score."
Monk: "..."
Immediately afterwards, there was a dull sound of fists and feet clashing in the courtyard, and then the courtyard door was opened. Kong Jie, breathing heavily, with steam even coming from his forehead, walked out with the monk.
It's really not cold at all now.
"Monk, it's not bad. We have a tie now. Let's continue next time."
Kong Jie said without changing his expression.
The actual situation is that in the nearly ten minutes of battle just now, the monk who was only passively defensive was still not broken by Kong Jie.
"By the way, monk, let me ask you to keep an eye on young man Xu during the few days he has been staying at the residence. What has he been doing?"
Suddenly, he thought of Xu Qingnian, the president of the Tan County Branch of the Japanese Central Reserve Bank, who was kidnapped from Tan County by the commando team.
This guy has been at the station for almost a week.
Kong Jie asked.
The monk replied: "I didn't do much, I just wandered around our station. Because it's been cold these days, I spent most of the time in the house, warming up around the coal stove you ordered to send to me, Commander!"
"Interesting, this guy is quite talented, let's go take a look." Kong Jie said.
"Why!"
Kong Jie and the monk rushed all the way to Xu Qingnian's residence.
Dong dong dong——
"Please come in!"
The monk opened the door and Kong Jie strode in.
"President Xu, the team has been busy with work these past two days and I didn't take time to come see you. It's too late." Kong Jie said. As soon as he walked into the room, he noticed that young man Xu was indeed gathered around the coal stove to keep warm. .
Seeing Kong Jie, Xu young man stood up quickly and made a gesture of asking for permission, "Captain Kong, why are you here? Please sit down!"
There were only two stools in the room. Once Kong Jie and Xu Qingnian sat down, the monk could only squat beside them to warm themselves by the fire.
The three of them were warming themselves by the fire. The room couldn't remain silent forever, so the chatter naturally started. Kong Jie asked with a smile: "President Xu, how do you feel about being in the base of our independent regiment these days?"
Young Xu Qing thought for a while and replied: "How should I put it? The biggest emotion is that in this war-torn era with heavy artillery fire, in the area surrounded by enemy-occupied areas, there can still be base areas opened up by your Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines. Protecting the safety of the people of one place is really touching and admirable."
"I have seen a lot of things in the past few days. The people's lives may not be so prosperous, but their faces are really full of smiles. I saw many soldiers helping the people with farm work or repairing quilts. Roof damaged by heavy snow.”
"You Eighth Route Army soldiers are either training or having fun after training. The whole team is harmonious and like a big family. I have never seen such a team."
"Captain Kong, having said this, I'm actually quite curious. What kind of belief brings an army like yours together? And allows you to sustain your current situation in the arduous struggle?"
Kong Jie didn't reply immediately. He suddenly got addicted to smoking. He wanted to smoke a cigarette but couldn't bear it.
He took out his old pipe, stuffed it with some homemade tobacco, and then tilted the mouth of the pipe slightly towards the coal fire of the coal stove. After a while, the tobacco was lit, and Kong Jie took a puff, followed by the turbid smoke. Breathing it out, smoke soon rose in the room.
Cough cough cough——
Xu Qingnian suddenly coughed.
Kong Jie said hurriedly: "Hey, Mr. Xu, you are not used to the smell of cigarettes. You don't smoke, right?"
Xu Qingnian smiled bitterly and nodded, "I don't know how to smoke."
"Then I'd better put out the cigarette!" Kong Jie said and was about to take action.
Xu Qingnian smiled and said: "It's okay, Commander Kong, you can smoke it!"
"Then I'm really pumped."
Kong Jie smiled and continued to smoke, while saying: "Let's continue the previous topic. The Japanese came in and initially clamored to destroy our country in three months. Facts have proved that the little devils are wishful thinking. They are not that Good appetite."
"But China still lost nearly half of its territory, and I don't know how many people have become slaves to the subjugation of the country."
"During this period, there were all kinds of people. There were warriors who rose up to resist without fear of sacrifice, and there were traitors who were greedy for life and afraid of death. Some were passionate and some were numb."
"Some people choose to submit to the situation and become obedient citizens in the areas occupied by the Japanese. As long as the little devil doesn't put a gun to their heads, they can live one day at a time."
"Some people don't want to be obedient citizens, so they take up arms to resist."
"To sum it up in one sentence, we all have different hearts and minds, and we have all kinds of choices."
"But after all, we need some people who will risk everything to fight against the little devils and fate. Even if they know that their power is limited, they will never want to be slaves to the subjugation of the country. It is this group of people who have gathered here."
"If there is still hope for China, then I believe that hope must appear among such a group of people."
"Because we have hope, faith, the direction and goal of working together, and persistence, no matter how difficult the environment is, we will be able to persevere. No matter how bad the situation is, we will definitely be able to create a better situation. First of all."
"So, even behind enemy lines, which is extremely dangerous, the situation you see before you still occurs."
"Everyone in the base area is working hard, not only us Eighth Route Army soldiers, but also the surrounding villagers, even the elderly and children."
"If we have to say that there is a belief that supports us, it is actually very simple. We are just a group of Chinese people who do not want to be slaves to the subjugation of the country, that's all."
"Freedom, independence, unyielding, bravery, kindness, resistance, unity...aren't these the fundamental spirits that enable our Chinese nation to stand firm across thousands of years?"
"Do you need any special explanation?"
Kong Jie asked slowly in calmness, clicking his lips, and the smoke inhaled from the mouth of the pipe was exhaled again.
The room fell into dead silence for a moment...
