Chapter 233 Araki's Thoughts

Liu Ergui only felt the buzzing in his ears, and his self-consciousness in his mind was constantly telling him: Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard is chanting scriptures.

He didn't know what Xiao Huzi said before he left Dry Tree Village. He only knew that Brother Xiao, who had worshiped at the pier, didn't want to fight against the national army. , I can't afford to offend the national army no matter what.

Three days later, Jian Yongjiang, the commander of the Second Battalion, brought the whole Second Battalion to Anfengjian. Unlike the other two battalions who brought some people up the mountain for construction, Anfengjian has houses and houses, so all the Second Battalion can move in with their bags. .

Before the second battalion set off, Li Chong called all the cadres at the first level of the battalion and company together, and reorganized the numbers of each company. The naming method has changed from one to nine to be named sequentially. From then on, the first battalion has jurisdiction over one to three companies, the second battalion has jurisdiction over four to six companies, and the third battalion has jurisdiction over seven to nine companies.

At the same time, the re-declaration of the numbers of each company was also held, which represented a new beginning for the whole regiment. How the battalions and companies will grow in the future depends on the ability of these battalion and company commanders to develop and lead the team.

"Master Liu, we must remember the righteousness of contributing to the cottage for the country's resistance against Japan."

At the foot of Anfengjian Mountain, folded the anti-Japanese declaration handed over by Liu Ergui, Jian Yongjiang looked at Liu Ergui with a lonely expression and said.The tone of Jian Yongjiang's words did not take advantage of the humility at all. In his opinion, it is the kindness of the head of the regiment that these bandits were not wiped out.

"Why, Master Liu, your number seems to be much smaller?" I heard that there are more than 50 bandits in Anfengjian, but now it seems that there are only a small half of them standing at the foot of the mountain with their bags on their backs.

However, this question is a bit of a question of which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted. After returning from the dry tree village in Yangjiao Mountain, in the past three days, there have been incidents of people running away one after another.The more important thing is that when I heard that the head Xiao of Kushuzhai opened the mountain gate to accept brothers, he ran over ahead of time.Those who don't pay attention to it will disappear after going down the mountain.

"Arrange them to go down the mountain in advance." Liu Ergui said with a very sour heart.Seeing the soldiers of the national army densely packed at the foot of the mountain with spears in front of them, he was saddened by the loss of his homeland. At the same time, he was a little terrified at the moment. Only when he was in the situation did he know why Brother Xiao, who had worshiped the pier, must not fight against the national army up.

Countless muzzles of dark guns pointed directly at the sky, and his big sword would definitely not be able to withstand even one round of attacks.

The meeting at the foot of the mountain was only for a moment. After submitting the Declaration of Resistance Against Japan, Liu Ergui walked in the direction of Yangjiao Mountain without looking back.

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain." Regardless of the bandits that Xiao Suo left, Jian Yongjiang called the whole battalion to go up the mountain.

On this day, with the second battalion stationed in Anfengjian, the three battalions have all left the regiment headquarters on the main peak of Meiling, and set up camp in three easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack places in Meiling according to the arrangement, and develop independently.

In the early morning, the main peak of Meiling Mountain was covered with mist and mist. According to the living habits of no combat operations, when Li Chong got up in the morning, he climbed from the middle of the mountain to the mountain. , the sometimes steep and sometimes slow terrain meanders upwards, standing on the top of the main peak, with the sea of ​​clouds first opening, and the rising sun, the feeling of who is in charge of the vast land arises spontaneously.

I practiced a set of boxing and kicking at the top of the mountain, and then went down the mountain and returned to the yard to take a shower.

After the morning exercise, after breakfast, I sat in the regiment headquarters at eight o'clock and studied the devil's every move based on the information sent.

Meiling is changing every day, and so is Changbu Town, which was destroyed.

The devils, the stronghold in Changbu Town, have been repaired and formed. The three-foot-high masonry wall is surrounded by barbed wire, and four high platforms have been built at the corners, which can sweep every move around.In front of the four bunkers, ditches were dug for water injection, and barbed wire was also surrounded.The little devil made great efforts to turn Changbu Town into a military frontier stronghold.On the opposite side of the Changbu Bridge, the same blockhouse rises from the ground, echoing the bridgehead blockhouse on the Changbu Town side.

During the week of reconstruction, a squadron of devils who came to support never left, but stationed in Changbu Town to guard against another sneak attack by the national army. At the same time, a large number of civilians were cruelly recruited to repair fortifications in Changbu Town.

The brutal day and night work caused many young people in the surrounding villages to flee after hearing the news, which made the third battalion stationed in Muma Ridge recruit a hundred recruits without making any noise.

At the same time, the first battalion and the second battalion after the division also sent out conscription news, and the guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route also recruited more soldiers.

The anti-Japanese declaration signed and pledged by the twelve major bandits in Meiling, or to be more precise, is now spread under the deliberate propaganda instructed by Li Chong.

For a while, Meiling became a holy place for anti-Japanese war, and young people who did not want to be subjugated slaves heard the news and went there.

"Baga Road!" In Anyi County, Araki was a little out of breath when he received the news about the sharp decrease in the youth population from below.Although the lives of Chinese people are worthless, these ants are still needed to build bunkers and fortifications.And if this continues, it will undoubtedly increase the strength to resist the imperial army.

Araki paced back and forth in front of the table, thinking about countermeasures against population loss.House-to-house population registration, regular and fixed-point inventory is available, but it can only be effectively implemented in county towns. Who knows how many Chinese people there are in the villages who always feel that they can't be killed?It is also impossible for the imperial army to have the time and energy to check the population in the villages everywhere.

Thinking about it, Araki walked out of the dimly lit office all the way, without any response to the constant salutes and greetings, until a team of Imperial Association troops came to assist in the defense.

Araki thought that it was easy for Chinese people to know Chinese people. It should be feasible for the Imperial Association Army to go down to check the population on a regular basis. These local Chinese people should know how many people there should be in which household.

"Morning Araki, have you eaten yet? This is a freshly filled meat bun."

On the way, I met a big brother from Taijunli. Zhu Keming, the captain of the Royal Association Army in Anyi County, hurriedly bowed down and nodded to say hello, and then offered the delicious meat buns that he had just "bought". Bow down.

Araki nodded, very satisfied with Zhu Keming's attitude, "Zhu Sang, you should be careful when patrolling."

Suddenly, looking at the groveling and loyal Zhu Sang, Araki's mind twitched. He was thinking why Zhu Sang and his men could be controlled by the imperial army?Why are the same Chinese people, some want to resist and others are willing to lick their feet? Araki doesn't think it can be explained by the simple word "spine". To lure other Chinese people to join, now he wants to dig out the psychological reasons why people like Zhu Sang are willing to serve the imperial army.

"Zhu Sang, come with me."

"Ai! Ai!" Zhu Keming felt extremely honored, walking beside him, although his waist was bent, his head was already raised high.

"Zhu Sang, recently, many people's consciences have been greatly broken, and they ran to Meiling to work against the imperial army."

"Taijun, those troublemakers are stubborn."

Araki stopped and looked at Zhu Keming and asked, "Zhu Sang, can you tell me why you are willing to work for the imperial army?"

This question made Zhu Keming a little flustered, he thought he was going to be distrusted by the prince.
