Bright Sword Military System

Objectively speaking, if we simply consider the risk of standing in line, the risk of the pseudo-North China security forces falling to the side of the devils is relatively low.

This is not only because the devils are powerful in China, but also because they threaten the family members of the Puppet North China Security Army.

For example, the 23rd Regiment of Ning Jie, most of the troops of this unit come from Datong and the villages around Datong.

This is easier for the devil to control.

If any soldier violated military regulations and became a deserter or "colluded" with the Eighth Route Army, the devils would directly arrest his family members using the continuous seat system.

In other words, the devils used the families of the puppet soldiers as hostages to make it easy for them not to surrender, escape or mutiny.

But at this time, the Eighth Route Army had already occupied Datong, which meant that the family members of the puppet army had escaped the control of the devils, and the devils could no longer threaten Ning Jie and the others with their families.

On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army can't do this, that is, the Eighth Route Army can't take the family members of the puppet army as hostages like the devils... just kidding, the Eighth Route Army is an army from the people, and they have strict discipline and special treatment even for prisoners. It also includes the captives of the devils who killed without blinking an eye, so how could it be possible to take the family members of the puppet army as hostages.

The puppet army of the 23rd Regiment also knew this, so they didn't worry about the safety of their families at all after they escaped.

During the break, Xiang Li'an, the deputy head of the regiment, walked up to Ning Jie who was sitting on the rock, squatted down while nibbling on a steamed bun, and said, "Boss, the Eighth Route Army is getting better and better..."

"Hush!" Ning Jie glared at Xiang Li'an, looked around vigilantly, and then said in a low voice, "You don't want to die? If the devil hears this, be careful to label you as a collaborator!"

Xiang Li'an was a little helpless, he didn't expect this, he just wanted to discuss the enemy's equipment and combat power normally.

But it’s right to think about it. If you say a few words to praise the Eighth Route Army or envy them, does it mean that you want to hang out with the Eighth Route Army?
This is the sadness of being a puppet army. They are always in fear, not only to see the devil's face, but also have to be careful when speaking.

Xiang Li'an gnawed the steamed buns hard, and said angrily: "I'm not afraid, anyway, Datong has already been defeated by the Eighth Route Army!"

Although the words were nonsense, Ning Jie understood the meaning.

If it is said that the 23rd regiment used to have to work for the devil because the family was in the hands of the devil, now there is no such worry at all.

If you don't have this worry and you still have a gun in your hand, what are you afraid of the devils doing?
As a result, many of the puppet soldiers who were used to being bullied by the devils changed their eyes when they looked at the devils.

Ning Jie sighed.

He thinks more comprehensively than others.

It can be said that it is a good thing or a bad thing for the family to escape the control of the devil.

The good thing is that the family is safe.

Bad thing... If there is no clue in the hands of the devil, will the devil suspect that the 23rd regiment is about to rebel?
Ning Jie's worries are not unreasonable. One of the important reasons why Japanese commanders such as Ning Okamura became suspicious of the 23rd Regiment so quickly was that they believed that the 23rd Regiment had a different plan. The handle (family) of the regiment is no longer in their hands, so it will be a matter of time before they lose control of the 23rd regiment.

But Ning Jie thought about it, and felt that it was not enough now, because the devils were in short supply of soldiers, and they still needed the 23rd Regiment to fight for them.

As for surrendering to the Eighth Route Army... Ning Jie didn't think about it, but he and the 23rd Regiment killed so many people in the Eighth Route Army. He also did many evil things with the devils before. Can the Eighth Route Army let it go?Can the people spare them?
Ning Jie mechanically ate the so-called "canned beef" in his hand, thinking that in the current situation, it is better to take one step at a time!
At this time, Ning Jie had a feeling that the world is so big but there is no place for him.

But if you regret it... Ning Jie shook his head slightly.

Ning Jie also didn't want to do things that would hurt his parents and fellow villagers, but in this troubled world, especially in the devil's controlled area, if he wanted to survive and support his family...he had no right to choose at all.

At this moment, a correspondent reported: "Tuan Zuo, Boss Qian from Lingxiu Villa wants to see you!"

"Boss Qian?" Ning Jie was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said, "Please!"

Boss Qian has businesses in several cities including Datong and Zhangjiakou, and usually does a lot of favors for Ning Jie and his group.

In Ning Jie's view, Boss Qian wanted to rely on their big tree to do business, so he felt at ease.

This time, he would run into Boss Qian on the road, which surprised him a bit.

But on second thought, maybe he escaped in a hurry because he was worried that his property would be confiscated by the Eighth Route Army.

It seems that the Eighth Route Army did not blockade the east, and this encirclement made them pay a smaller price to occupy Datong, but at the same time they lost a lot of wealth!

Boss Qian was in his forties, wearing a gray long gown, a round-brimmed hat that was popular at the moment, and a pair of round gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He was clearly a wealthy man.

"Hey! Tuan Zuo!" Boss Qian bowed his hands kindly to Ning Jie as soon as he saw Ning Jie.

Because Ning Jie was depressed, he didn't even answer when he stood up. He just cupped his hands and asked, "Boss Qian, why are you here?"

Boss Qian chuckled and said, "To tell the truth, Mr. Qian, this time I came here specially to find you!"

Ning Jie's expression froze, and he immediately realized what was going on.

In a state of war, a businessman would come to find him as the head of the regiment, especially when they were still on the way to escape...

Aren't you afraid of dying?
Aren't you afraid that your property will be expropriated under an excuse?

Aren't you afraid of being held hostage and asking for money?
Although Ning Jie didn't know how to do this himself, he couldn't control his subordinates.

Therefore, it was too late for ordinary businessmen to hide from such an army, and Boss Qian actually came to him on his own initiative?

unless……

Thinking of this, Ning Jie's heart sank. Boss Qian was probably an intelligence officer of the Eighth Route Army. He used to interact with him for the purpose of gathering information.

Ning Jie smiled wryly, and said, "Boss Qian, I can't see it! I, Ning, have misread it!"

Boss Qian knew that Ning Jie had seen through his identity, but he had no intention of hiding it from Ning Jie.

Boss Qian said to Ning Jie calmly: "Tuan Zuo, I'm here to tell you a piece of news based on our previous friendship. I wonder if Tuan Zuo is interested in knowing?"

Ning Jie squeezed out a word between his teeth blankly: "Say!"

Boss Qian looked at the devil more than ten meters away, then whispered a few words in his ear, and Ning Jie's face turned pale immediately.
