Qinggang Village belongs to Chongguan Town, and there are six or seven villages in the surrounding area.
Chongguan Town is a town with a large population. Although it is during the war, it still has a population of nearly 40,000, 30% of which are strong young people.
However, due to years of war, many families have moved away.
At this moment, at the entrance of Datian Village next to Qinggang Village, all the young and old in the village gathered together.
After all, the Eighth Route Army has a good reputation in the eyes of the people, so when they heard that the Eighth Route Army leader was coming to the village to give a speech, everyone who could be there came.
Shen Quan stood on the stage, cleared his throat and said: "Fellow folks in Datian Village, hello everyone, I am Shen Quan, the commander of the new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."
New group?
Chenquan?
The battle at Cangyunling has long been spread throughout northwest Shanxi, and many people have heard of the name of the New Regiment.
“Today I am gathering you all here despite my busy schedule, in the hope that the brothers and sisters in our village can join our team and work together to fight against the Japanese.
The little devils invaded us again and again, committing murder, arson, rape, murder and robbery. If these things happened to you one day, would you still be able to sleep?
The country is broken, the mountains and rivers are there, the city is springy and the vegetation is deep!
Will the 40 million Chinese people in our vast land of China be unable to defeat the little Japanese? Are we born to be the target of killing the Japanese?
No! I believe this will never be the case. We Chinese are not even half a head lower than others wherever we go. "
Chen Quan knew very well what words to say to mobilize the passion and blood of the people.
"A country has a home. We can't just stay numb and retreat. Only by taking up guns and driving the little devils out of China can everyone live a good life."
"That's all I'm going to say. Next, let's talk about the benefits. All soldiers who join our new regiment will receive two pieces of ocean per person per month, three meals, and meat once every five days."
"Isn't it more comfortable for everyone to be together, drink wine, eat meat, and fight the Japanese together than to stay in Sangadari?"
People's hearts are like this. It's useless to listen to too many theories. It's better to take practical actions.
At first, few people were interested, but after Shen Quan finished explaining the benefits of joining the new group, half of the people present were eager to give it a try.
Even aunts in their fifties want to raise their hands to sign up!
"Sir, I'm done with you!" the first person in the crowd said, raising his hand.
"Tie Zhu, are you usually so cowardly that you dare to fight the Japanese? I'll go too!"
"Hey, you are all gone, so there is no need for me to stay in the village. Sir, I will also join you on the Eighth Route Army."
"Sir, I am forty-five this year, can I still participate?"
"Sir, I am an Orion and I know how to use a gun. I sign up!"
Suddenly, the crowd surged.
Seeing this, Shen Quan couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, and quickly greeted him: "Those who want to sign up, line up and register with our publicity officer."
Two hours later, Shen Quan returned home with more than two hundred recruits recruited from Datian Village and headed to Qinggang Village, where the regiment headquarters was located.
These new recruits were enthusiastic and talked non-stop along the way.
When we were still about five kilometers away from Qinggang Village, a reconnaissance soldier ran back quickly to report the situation: "Captain, there are puppet troops ahead!"
"Puppet army? Did you see clearly? This place is not far from our regiment headquarters." Shen Quan said suspiciously.
"Captain, I can see clearly. There is a group of puppet soldiers in front of us. There are about 20 people. They are chasing a woman."
If there were no reconnaissance soldiers to investigate first, Shen Quan would lead this group of new recruits who knew nothing and collide with the puppet army at this moment.
Once the two sides open fire, many unarmed recruits will definitely be killed by the puppet troops.
After stopping to think for a moment, Shen Quan quickly made up his mind, then turned to look at Hu Zehai, the recruitment propaganda officer, and said: "Old Hu, you take everyone to find a place to hide first, and I'll take a few people to check out the situation. .”
"Captain, why don't I take someone with me!" Hu Zehai knew the importance of Shen Quan in the new regiment and didn't want him to make any mistakes.
"I am the leader, listen to me!" After simply saying something, Shen Quan picked up three experienced soldiers and quickly touched it.
If he really saw the puppet soldiers arresting women, Shen Quan would naturally take action.
Shen Quan would not take the twenty puppet troops seriously at all.
After running wildly for three miles, Shen Quan looked up and saw twenty puppet soldiers chasing a woman.
The woman was wearing a national army uniform, with a ponytail and a well-proportioned figure. She was running and retreating, and at the same time, she was shooting.
Behind him were the twenty puppet soldiers, one of whom carried the rank of platoon leader on his shoulders.
"Girl, why are you running away? Go back to the county with your employer and I will make you feel great."
The puppet platoon leader spoke in a yellow accent and leisurely rode up to catch up.
"boom!"
The woman turned around again and fired quickly, directly hitting a puppet soldier on the head.
Her name is Xue Min, and she is the captain of the women's special operations team under the military command.
At this moment, the system voice suddenly sounded:
"Ding, the combat sign-in mission has been released: Please rescue the leader of the female bomb squad and annihilate the puppet army!"
