The martial arts team's attack in Qinghe Village sneaked into Tangyuan Town and eradicated the traitor leader Wang Erquan, which was regarded as the beginning of the independent group's anti-Japanese encroachment.
Of course, things don't end that easily.
In addition to Qinghe Village, in Changliu Village, Shangyou Village and other villages around Qinghe Village, after the armed workers team also launched anti-traitor campaigns, the traitors sent by the Japanese army to manage the villages became much more honest.
But the Japanese are not stupid either. Saburo Aoki, the Japanese captain in charge of the Qinghe Village area, knows even more clearly that Wang Erquan's death was definitely not an accident, but something secretly done by the Eighth Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army will secretly coerce, induce, and win over the puppet police, puppet soldiers, and traitors to surrender. Naturally, the little devils also know this kind of thing.
After Wang Erquan suddenly committed suicide by hanging from a beam, Aoki Saburo realized that the armor chiefs and security chiefs he had placed in Qinghe Village and other villages might have rebelled.
The calm Saburo Aoki also took corresponding measures. He secretly controlled some of the traitors in the village who were more afraid of death.
Anyway, these traitors were just helpless people in order to survive. With a little pressure from the Japanese, they revealed the fact that they were instigated by the Eighth Route Army.
The cunning Saburo Aoki did not deal with all the traitors who had been instigated by the Eighth Route Army. Instead, he secretly drew some traitors back into the arms of the Japanese army, planted them among the traitors, and placed them in the village as a means of ventilation at any time. Internal response to the report.
In this way, in order to compete for the village, the Japanese army and the armed workers team began a battle of wits and courage.
…
Niukou Village.
Independent regiment, regimental headquarters.
After Li Wenjie served as the acting political commissar of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie actually handed over more matters to Li Wenjie.
The greater significance of the existence of the armed workers' team is to go deep behind enemy lines, propagandize, organize, and arm the masses, and secretly form a revolutionary political power. The political significance is greater than the military significance.
After Li Wenjie became the acting political commissar of the Independence Regiment, this work mainly fell on his shoulders.
In the past two days, after receiving news about how the armed workers battled wits and courage with the Japanese army in Qinghe Village, Changliu Village, and Shangyou Village, secretly formed the anti-Japanese regime, and encountered difficulties, Li Wenjie sorted it out and rushed to the regiment headquarters to report to the group headquarters. Kong Jie reported the situation.
Of course, this is more of a discussion than a report.
After all, in terms of rank, Li Wenjie, who is now the acting political commissar of the Independent Regiment, is the same commander as Kong Jie.
In addition to Kong Jie's main focus on the military aspects of the independent regiment's work, other tasks include all aspects of political work, base area construction, economic development, personnel appointment, and even the development of the enemy's Ministry of Industry and Armed Forces. , Kong Jiedu was gradually transferred to Li Wenjie.
Political commissars are meant to do these things.
Wouldn’t it be foolish to not work for others when we have a political commissar?
After Li Wenjie took care of these things, Kong Jie felt a lot more relaxed.
However, the fact is:
Firstly, after more than a year, he has become accustomed to it. Secondly, out of respect for revolutionary predecessors like Kong Jie, Li Wenjie will still report the situation to Kong Jie after sorting and analyzing every time he handles the work at hand. .
"Captain!" Li Wenjie entered the room and shouted, "I'm here to report to you on the recent situation of the armed workers team."
Kong Jie couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Wenjie, I told you earlier that we are all revolutionary comrades, so there is no need to be so arrogant. Besides, you are Wenying's brother. Wenying and I are brothers, so we are also brothers to each other. You can just call me That’s Lao Kong.”
"In addition, you are also an acting political commissar now. When will you become a full-time official? How can any political commissar report to the head of the regiment?"
"If this independent group wants to grow and develop in the future, you and I must cooperate with each other and work together."
Li Wenjie just smiled and said: "Captain, you also said that we are comrades, it's just a title. I'm used to calling myself captain, so I'm too lazy to change my words."
Kong Jie said helplessly: "You intellectuals are so stubborn! If you call me Lao Kong, I won't eat you. For example, when does that kid Shen Quan jump in front of me and call me Lao Kong?" Can I still scold him?"
Kong Jie naturally spoke from his heart. Li Wenjie was a well-informed political commissar. Call him Lao Kong and he would not suffer any loss.
Look at the New Second Group, calling Old Li and Old Zhao, how friendly they are.
The monk who was also in the room whispered in a low voice:
"If the second battalion commander dares to jump out and call him "Lao Kong", you won't scold him. You'll probably just kick him..."
"Monk, what are you muttering about?" Kong Jie raised his eyes and asked.
The monk quickly replied: "You didn't say anything. Captain, you can talk to the political commissar. I'll go to the courtyard to exercise first."
After saying that, hurry up and run away.
In the room, the conversation between Kong Jie and Li Wenjie got to the point. Li Wenjie said:
"Captain, the Japs have changed their previous strategies. While controlling the major villages in the occupied areas, they have also added more elements of political co-optation. Judging from the results, it is indeed more difficult to deal with them."
"Before the Japs used political co-optation, our outward expansion was relatively smooth. We successfully established militia organizations and revolutionary regimes in each village without telling the Japs and puppet troops. In addition, we built many fortresses according to our plan. Village, nail village.”
"The plan to strengthen the defense layout in the village, dig tunnels, and fight against the Japanese at traffic stations has been smoothly implemented."
"Can……"
He sighed helplessly and continued: "After the Japanese used political methods to win over them during this period, they also implemented the Baojia Lianzu system in major villages. Villagers guaranteed each other, every household guaranteed each other, and even the village and the village Villages guarantee each other.”
"In addition, this little devil is also very ruthless. He also dug deep ditches between some villages to cut off the connections between villages. This also affected the movement and assembly of our troops in the villages to a considerable extent."
"The armed workers' teams responsible for each village have been taking action these days. They have eliminated many die-hard Japanese traitors and secretly instigated many traitors."
"But some rebelled again, which even led to the exposure of some villagers who were secretly in contact with us."
Kong Jie asked: "What happened to the exposed folks?"
Li Wenjie lowered his eyes: "The Japanese deliberately killed chickens and honored monkeys. They dragged these exposed comrades to the rice field, then gathered the whole village people there, and then slandered our Eighth Route Army in front of the whole village. In front of the common people, these exposed comrades... were brutally killed!"
"asshole!"
When Kong Jie heard this, he was furious and slapped the wooden table on the kang, almost breaking the wooden table into pieces.
"Why didn't you save anyone?"
Feeling the anger in Kong Jie's heart, Li Wenjie explained: "Captain, at that time the enemy was strong and we were weak. The comrades of the military work team had limited manpower. In addition, the little devils had been on guard. They set up machine guns around the dojo in advance and took a few Hundreds of fellow villagers as a threat.”
"The comrades of the armed workers team have no choice. If they could have ignored everything, they would have saved the people long ago, but we cannot harm the entire village just because of some comrades who were exposed."
"The little Japs have lost all their conscience, and they want to keep the Baojia Company in place. If we take action, it's not unusual for the Japs to massacre the village."
Kong Jie nodded, suppressed his anger, and said: "At present, individual comrades have been exposed and sacrificed, and it is not an option to continue like this.
The Japanese implemented the Baojia company system, which greatly increased the cost of the villagers secretly helping our Eighth Route Army.
If this continues, even if the Japanese pro-people policies appear clumsy, it will be inevitable that the villagers will gradually become disappointed with our Eighth Route Army troops. "
"In this case, we can't wait any longer and attack me immediately!"
Li Wenjie said in astonishment: "Commander, generally speaking, in the competition between us and the Japanese army for the villages, the Japanese have more advantages and are gradually strengthening their control over the villages and stripping us of our close ties with the people. The Japanese army is attacking!"
Kong Jie said: "Then counterattack. As long as our attack is strong enough, the Japanese attack will be forced to turn to defense."
"But what about the safety of the villagers?"
Li Wenjie said worriedly that as for Kong Jie's military orders, he had never had any doubts. The regiment commander was the first military commander of the independent regiment. The victory of every battle over the past year had already proven this truth. .
Kong Jie said: "The problem is not difficult to solve. This attack will be fought on two fronts, with the primary and secondary attacks at the same time."
"The main line is our independent regiment's active ambush attack on the Japanese army's major strongholds, gun towers and patrols. This is also the most important point. If we can make a big breakthrough in this aspect, the Japanese and puppet troops will win over the villages politically. Means will double the pressure."
"Under the general trend, the Japanese army is retreating steadily. Do those traitors who are already wavering in their political stance dare to persist in opposing our Eighth Route Army?"
"The people will also see more hope and will not be easily blinded by the hypocrisy of the Japanese army."
"At the same time, the main line's offensive can cover the secondary line's operations. After we launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese strongholds, the Japanese army will have no time to take care of themselves and there will definitely be deficiencies in the control of the villages."
"The armed workers took the opportunity to take action and launch secondary operations. I will also notify local comrades and militia comrades to cooperate on the front line."
At this point, Kong Jie's words revealed murderous intent, "Kill, after taking control of the village, kill all the Japanese and puppet traitors without leaving a single one behind."
"Captain, what about some of the traitors who have been incited to rebel?" Li Wenjie was shocked.
"kill!"
Kong Jie said flatly: "Wenjie, now is not the time to be merciful. These traitors are always wavering. Today we threatened them, and they surrendered. Another day, the Japanese threatened them again, and they secretly surrendered to the Japanese. Such people also Can they be counted as our own comrades?"
"Except for those who can be determined to have a firm stance, no one else will be left. I don't have the time, nor the mood, to find out which traitors have turned to the Japanese in the middle."
"This is also the attitude we have expressed to the Japanese military through practical actions. If they dare to hurt one of our comrades, we will kill a hundred of them."
"It takes enough cruelty to make those traitors realize the huge price they have to pay for being stubborn and wavering!"
"Only with blood can these invaders be completely feared!"
Li Wenjie was shocked and responded: "Captain, I understand!"
Kong Jie continued: "As for the safety of the villagers that you are worried about, it can be easily solved. In this regard, the old village chiefs of Xinghe Village, Dingjiaying and other villages have done very wise things."
"After we launch an attack on the surrounding villages, we can ask the village chief to send some villagers to the county seat to inform the Japanese army."
"We killed the Japanese and puppet troops, and the villagers reported the situation in advance. However, the reinforcements from the Japanese and puppet troops arrived late. It's no wonder that the villagers are responsible."
"For this period of time, the little devils have been committed to hypocritical pro-people policies. When the time comes, they will plan carefully and the expressions of the villagers who reported the news will be more realistic. Without actual evidence, the Japanese will not easily embarrass the villagers."
"If some villagers are really exposed, wouldn't the Japanese implement the Baojia system and find some villagers to report to the Japanese on their own initiative? Then we can transfer these exposed people to our base area. With the current material base of our base area, we can raise more people." Folks from several villages won’t be a problem.”
Commander Kong’s words were very clear.
Just so domineering.
The Independent Group has the wisdom and financial resources to solve all worries and start fighting directly.
"Okay, Commander, I'm going to make preparations right now."
Li Wenjie, who was suddenly enlightened by Kong Jie's domineering words, responded solemnly.
Kong Jie nodded and said: "Notify the news to the various military work teams. The time is set at dawn tomorrow morning. The preparations will be completed at night. We will either not take action or we will make a big splash."
"I will arrange several additional battalion commanders to cooperate in the operation. After the battle to attack the Japanese stronghold starts first, the battle of the armed workers to attack the village will follow closely."
"Yes!" Li Wenjie responded...
