The commando team was divided into two groups and rushed to the west and south of Shanxi.
What happens next.
Kong Jie could completely predict that there would be another big wave.
"Monk, I heard that the second battalion commander has led his team and captured several new villages and towns in the past few days. Let's go and take a look at the situation."
While waiting for this wave, Kong Jie naturally would not be idle and asked the monk to set off together.
When leaving the regiment headquarters, the monk suggested: "Captain, I will lead another platoon of guards!"
The monk was worried about Kong Jie's safety. After all, along the way, there were villages and towns newly conquered by the Second Battalion. They were at the outermost edge of the guerrilla zone and were prone to danger.
Kong Jie shook his head and said: "It's enough for us to go. If you talk nonsense, I won't even take you with me. The security company has their own mission, so why are you always following me? Besides, we're just going. Take a look."
"Yes!" the monk responded.
The two of them packed up casually. For convenience, they just strapped two shell guns to their bodies, wore military uniforms, and rushed to Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village, which were newly captured by the Second Battalion.
After arriving at the place, in Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village, Kong Jie met the two cadres left in the village by Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan.
"Captain!"
"Captain, why are you here?"
Wang Yuan, the seventh squad leader of the fifth company, and Song Tian, the eighth squad leader, rushed over to greet them, saluted and greeted them.
"I heard that your Second Battalion recently captured Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village. I came over to take a look at the situation. You two just came over and wanted to talk about it," Kong Jie said.
"Old Wang, it's up to you to say it!" Song Tian, the eighth squad leader, laughed.
Wang Yuan nodded and reported: "Report to the leader, we captured Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village two days ago under the leadership of the Second Battalion Commander. A squad of Japs and a platoon of puppet troops were originally stationed nearby. , were repulsed by us."
"After the Japanese and puppet troops retreated, the battalion commander sent the two of us to stay and form a militia team in the village."
Kong Jie nodded and asked: "How is the formation of the militia now?"
Wang Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village, one is in the south and the other is in the north, and there is only a creek separating the two villages.
The two small villages are far different in size than Niukou Village. There are 32 households living in Xiaonan Village and 30 households living in Xiaobei Village. The two villages combined have only about 130 villagers. . "
Kong Jie frowned and said, "If you think about it this way, one family can't even accommodate three people?"
Wang Yuandao: "Who says otherwise! Although Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village are two small villages, they are in an awkward position. They are at the outermost edge of our guerrilla zone and close to the area controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan. some.
The little devils have no humanity. Such a small village doesn't look down on it at all, so they didn't plan the village into their jurisdiction, which means it is in a no-no-no zone.
There are often bandits, white dogs, and Japanese and puppet troops in the village. They come here to fight against the autumn wind, recruit troops, or collect food.
All the villagers in the village suffered a lot.
Originally there were five or six people in one household, so the two villages together had more than 300 people.
But in the past few years, most of the young people in the village have been forcibly recruited by the Japanese and puppet troops or the national army.
The only people left in the village are some old people and children. "
Kong Jie said: "In this case, there should not be many militia teams formed."
"Yes, this is almost the smallest scale since our independent regiment arranged cadres in each village and formed a militia team. Three people were found in Xiaonan Village on my side, and three people were found in Xiaobei Village on Lao Song's side. This is our entire militia team, including me and Lao Song, there are eight people in total." Wang Yuandao.
Kong Jie smiled and patted Wang Yuan on the shoulder and said: "Don't be dissatisfied, kid. After all, there are still a few militiamen! I happen to have nothing to do. The monk and I are here too. You two have two All the militia comrades from every village have gathered here, let’s meet.”
"yes!"
Wang Yuan responded, and Song Tian returned to Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village respectively to assemble their own militia teams. Not long after, they each arrived with three civilians behind them and reported to Kong Jie.
"When you meet the leader later, you must salute first. I have taught you this salute, don't forget it!"
While walking on the road, Wang Yuan asked the three militiamen behind him.
"Xiao Min, you are the captain of the militia team. You will set an example for everyone in a while. You will take the lead in saluting the leader and saying hello."
"Hey!" Chen Xiaomin responded. Thinking of Kong Jie, his heart was full of admiration, "Squad leader, I heard that our leader is very good at fighting. Is it true?"
Wang Yuan said proudly: "That's for sure. Let me tell you, I have never seen a general who is better at fighting than our captain."
"Squad leader, tell us!"
"Tell me?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Then I'll tell you about it."
Wang Yuan, who was walking on the road, explained how Kong Jie had developed the Independent Regiment into a strong army and strong horses in a short period of time since Kong Jie took over, and how he had fought all the way from the Battle of Cangyunling to Niukou Village in front of him, and the battles he had experienced in between. He said some things vividly.
When they finally saw Kong Jie, with full admiration, the three militia comrades from Xiaonan Village, led by squad leader Chen Xiaomin, quickly saluted Kong Jie.
Kong Jie looked at the three militiamen in Xiaonan Village.
Team leader Chen Xiaomin should be a little older, probably in his early twenties.
Behind him are two underage children. The children in the village are much poorer in nutrition, so they look thinner. They look like children of fourteen or fifteen years old. In terms of actual age, they should be a year older. Two years old.
"Hello, comrade leader, Chen Xiaomin, the leader of Xiaonan Village Soldiers, is reporting to you!"
As an example, Chen Xiaomin saluted Kong Jie with a military salute and looked at Kong Jie with eyes full of reverence.
"Hello, Captain!" The two children behind him also shouted quickly. They were obviously a little timid. They did not dare to look at Kong Jie and looked at Kong Jie secretly.
Kong Jie smiled kindly and said, "Hello, young comrades, Comrade Chen Xiaomin is acting very energetic! Let me guess the two young comrades behind you. The one on the left should be Comrade Luo Siwa, and the one on the right is Comrade Luo Siwa. Comrade Zheng Gui, right?"
Sure enough, Kong Jie guessed it right.
Chen Xiaomin said in surprise: "Captain, do you know us?"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "I heard the introduction from the seventh squad leader. The squad leader said that although Captain Chen Xiaomin is not old, he is very energetic. Comrade Luo Siwa has bigger eyes. Comrade Zheng Gui always has a bright face. I like to laugh, so when I see you, I know you."
The approachable Kong Jie made the three of Chen Xiaomin full of joy, and their original restraints became much better.
Then, Kong Jie and Chen Xiaomin chatted casually, and then they realized that Chen Xiaomin was twenty-two years old this year, and Luo Siwa was the same age as Zheng Gui, and was only sixteen years old this year.
"Fourth baby, he should be the fourth in the family. There should be three brothers and sisters above him. Where are they?"
Kong Jie asked while waiting for Song Tian to arrive with the militiamen from Xiaobei Village.
Luo Siwa, who answered Kong Jie's doubts, had a somewhat lonely look in her eyes, "The eldest brother died not long after he was born. The second sister later gave it to people in the city in exchange for food. The third brother was captured by the Japanese Japs not long ago. He said he was going to be a member of the Imperial Alliance Army, but the third brother said he was a traitor and I was not the one to do it, and then he was severely beaten by those two devils and taken away."
"These bastards, you beasts!" The monk on the side couldn't help but cursed and clenched his iron fists.
Kong Jie also sighed deeply, touched the head of Luo Siwa, who was half a head shorter than him, and said, "Siwa, what about you? What do you want to do in the future, or what kind of person do you want to be?"
"Captain, I want to fight the Japanese and avenge my brothers and sisters..."
Siwa swallowed even harder as he spoke, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes. After all, he was still a child.
He was a thin man, not much taller than a rifle.
