In the afternoon, Shen Quan led the team to Gejia Town.
Gejia Town has thirteen villages under its jurisdiction and a total population of more than 20,000. It can be regarded as one of the largest towns.
Because it is located between the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army and the jurisdiction of the Jinsui Army, Gejia Town is rarely attacked by the Japanese.
As soon as they arrived in Gejia Town, the mayor took the lead and warmly greeted Shen Quan and others.
Knowing that the new regiment was here to recruit new soldiers, the mayor gathered the people from the thirteen villages under his jurisdiction in Gejia Town within two hours without saying a word.
After Shen Quan's fierce eloquent speech, many people who were working at home and farming were ignited and signed up to join the new group.
This time, Gejia Town and his party recruited a total of 130 recruits.
"Thank you all fellow villagers for your support!" Chen Quan bowed deeply to all the people, and then said: "You sent your sons and husbands to the new regiment. I, Shen Quan, will definitely live up to everyone's trust and will kill the Japanese as soon as possible. Get out."
The mayor smiled and said: "Captain Shen, if I weren't already in my sixties, I would carry a gun and go into battle with you to kill the enemy."
Chen Quan smiled and said: "Leave it to us young people to drive out the Tartars!"
Afterwards, Shen Quan left Gejia Town with a bang with one hundred and thirty new soldiers.
Forty minutes later, another Eighth Route Army team came to Gejia Town.
The mayor looked confused, didn't he just leave? Why are you here again?
Huh!
"Mayor, it seems he is not the eighth-level officer from before!" A commoner said next to the mayor.
Leaning slightly, an Eighth Route soldier in brand new clothes came forward and saluted: "Hello, I am the propaganda officer of the Independent Regiment. This time I came to Gejia Town hoping to recruit new soldiers in Guibao to fight against Japan and save the country."
The mayor said regretfully: "Sir, you are a step too late. A new group has just arrived."
The soldier was stunned: "Are you saying that a new group just came?"
"Yes, they left not long ago, and everyone in the town who is willing to join the army has followed them!"
Hearing this, the soldier couldn't help but be stunned, and had to go back home in despair.
After experiencing a large-scale raid by the Japanese, the independent regiment led by Kong Jie also suffered heavy losses.
In order to rebuild a new regiment, Kong Jie also sent officers everywhere to promote and recruit new soldiers.
…
Afterwards, Shen Quan sent several officers to rush back to Qinggang Village with the recruits recruited from Gejia Town, and then took the remaining officers to other places to recruit new soldiers.
After five hours of hard work, including the 130 recruits recruited in Gejia Town, Shenquan had recruited a total of 480 recruits this time.
After actually participating in the recruitment work, Shen Quan deeply realized the difficulty of the propaganda officers responsible for recruiting the new regiment.
"You'll have to give our officers extra food when you get back tonight!" Shen Quan secretly cursed.
After calculating the number of people, as long as we recruit twenty new soldiers, we can complete the mysterious mission of the system.
Then, Shen Quan took out a map, pointed to Yujiazhai, which was the closest to them, and said, "Monk, let's go to Yujiazhai to fish for some more."
"Er Gou, Chen Wei, the two of you will stay. The remaining officers will be responsible for taking the new recruits back to Qinggang Village and instructing the cooking team to kill the pigs and entertain our brothers."
"yes!"
Then the troops were divided into two groups. Shen Quan took Monk Wei and two propaganda officers to Yujiazhai, while the rest went back home.
…
Yujiazhai is a small village located among four mountains. It has a sparse population. Most of the people in the village are named Yu. It can be regarded as a clan village. The population of the village is only over 160, old and young.
At this time, before Shen Quan arrived at Yujiazhai, a Japs team of forty-three people had already arrived at the outskirts of Yujiazhai.
The Japanese leader was Second Lieutenant Aoi Toshijie.
Junjie Aoi looked at the sparsely populated Yujiazhai and said gloomily: "Warriors of the Japanese Empire, take out your butcher knives, rush in and kill them fiercely, let them see the power of my Imperial Japanese Army. .”
"Hayi!"
Following Aoi Junjie's order, all the little devils got their bayonets on and entered Yujiazhai to implement the three-guang policy.
"Bagaya road!"
Gunshots broke out everywhere, and many old people in the village were directly killed with bayonets. Those who turned around and tried to run were directly shot through their bodies by bullets.
Suddenly, rivers of blood flowed in Yujiazhai, and many young girls were carried into their rooms by the Japanese, wailing all over the place.
"Damn you devil!"
"My daughter!"
The screams continued.
A five-year-old child only cried twice before the Japanese stabbed his body with a bayonet and lifted the body high.
The men, women, and children in Yujiazhai are all simple farmers and have no strength to fight back.
Half an hour later, not a single person was left alive in Yujiazhai, and the women who had been defiled were all killed by the Japanese afterwards.
After moving away the food and belongings in the village, Aoi Junjie said with a sinister smile: "Oda-kun, set a fire for me and burn this place down!"
"Hayi!"
Then, a fire lit up the entire village, and everyone's bodies were shrouded in the fire.
At this time, in the mountains behind Yujiazhai, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit was walking quickly with a suitcase.
"I've been away from home for so long, and I can finally go back to my hometown!"
The man muttered to himself.
His name is Yu Zecheng, and his ancestral home is Yujiazhai.
