The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 506 Kong Jie: Why Do People Avoid Us (Part [-])
Huang Yu decided to cut off all connections between the Nanzhuang stronghold and the outside world before the main force arrived at Nanzhuang, and let them be blind and deaf for more than an hour and stick to the stronghold!
When the main force of the battalion reached Nanzhuang, the Japanese and puppet troops would have no chance to retreat.

The nine snipers of the Special Forces, wearing the uniforms of the little devils, arrived in the only way from the county town to Nanzhuang in just over half an hour in the car they had just seized.

Cut off the telephone line first, then set up a pocket formation, and ambush all the messengers that the county may send...

Kong Jie led Liu Sen in a hurry, and finally reached the Pingyang stronghold at around [-] o'clock in the morning.

The corpses of the Japanese and puppet soldiers on the battlefield have been cleaned up by the captives. The captured weapons and ammunition are piled up in a barracks. The three companies and one platoon leader staying here are shuttling through the weapons pile to count the results of the battle...

"The platoon leader...the regimental commander and the chief of staff are here, and they have arrived at the gate of the stronghold..." A subordinate rushed in to report.

"It came so quickly..." The platoon leader hurriedly put away the statistical list in his hand, and ran out while arranging the military uniforms that had been blackened by gunpowder.

Finally, I found Kong Jie on the ruins of the stronghold's gun tower: "Reporting regiment commander, chief of staff, I am Chen Jia, the leader of the first battalion, third company and first platoon. I was ordered to stay here to clean up the battlefield. Please give instructions!"

Kong Jie waved his hand: "There is nothing to instruct!"

"We've just arrived, and you haven't understood the situation here yet... Giving orders at this time is almost like commanding blindly. This is a taboo for military strategists!"

"Xiao Huang only told me that the troops had won the battle, but did not report the specific results!"

"You stay here to clean up the battlefield, you should be the clearest, tell us quickly."

Chief of Staff Liu Sen immediately answered: "After the last anti-sweeping battle was defeated, the troops have not won a battle for a long time..."

"Quickly tell the results of the battle to make everyone happy..."

Chen Jia immediately took out the seized list that he had just counted: "Including the Lizhuang ambush, we seized a total of two infantry artillery, six undamaged personnel carriers, a large number of auto parts, five mortars, and four heavy machine guns , 16 light machine guns, 318 rifles, 19 grenades, 13 pistols, [-] horses..."

"Also captured 58 second devils..."

"The battalion commander took away all the heavy weapons seized, and added some light machine guns, grenades, and supporting ammunition to the troops..."

"The rest here are basically rifles and ammunition..."

"By the way, we also found a lot of grain in the warehouse of the stronghold, all of which are white rice, white flour, and millet... the total is more than 15, and there is almost no miscellaneous grain!"

Speaking of this, Chen Jia suddenly thought of something, and continued to ask: "I heard from the captives that there are still two little devils and hardcore traitors in the town..."

"One is the mayor of Pingyang Town appointed by the devils, and the other is the director of the police station... There are more than 30 policemen and thugs under his command, equipped with a light machine gun, and more than 20 rifles... He does all kinds of evil, and he has several lives! "

"I wanted to take people to kill them, but there are too few troops left here, and the lightly wounded are less than a platoon. We have to divide the troops to protect the spoils, guard the prisoners of war, and we can't spare any troops to fight them. We can only deploy a few troops. A veteran staring at them!"

"Now that the main force of the regiment is here, I finally don't have to worry about these two traitors taking advantage of the chaos and escaping!"

Kong Jie immediately turned to look at the chief of staff.

Liu Sen understood it: "I asked the guard company to send two platoons over... Make a quick decision and try to end the battle within 5 minutes!"

Kong Jie nodded, and then ordered: "Let's go to the town to have a look..."

"I've been in Yizhong for so long, I haven't been to the enemy-occupied area, and I don't know how the people here are doing..."

Kong Jie frowned in less than 10 minutes. Looking at the people around him who were avoiding him like the plague, his mind was full of questions, so he asked immediately.

"Chief of Staff, what's going on?"

"This is next to our base area, and the troops should be active here frequently... Logically, the relationship with the masses should be pretty good... Why are the folks avoiding us..."

"Could it be that we are more terrifying than the Japanese puppet army!"

Liu Sen didn't show any surprise on his face. He obviously guessed that Kong Jie would ask this question a long time ago, so he explained with a wry smile!

"Regimental Commander, it's not that our Eighth Route Army is terrible, but that the Japanese and puppet troops are even more terrifying than we imagined!"

"In order to strengthen their control over the enemy-occupied areas, in addition to the county seat, they also set up town offices and police stations in every town, set up village offices and police sub-offices in the villages, and set up a Baojia system to closely monitor the people in the enemy-occupied areas. move."

"In the past, the people in the enemy-occupied areas had a very good relationship with us. The troops set up a maintenance meeting, and after the food was seized, they would share some with them!"

"As a result, as soon as we left, the Japanese puppet army snatched the food back!"

"Also use their eyeliner lurking among the folks to single out those ordinary people who have a particularly good relationship with us!"

"Not only do we have to return the food we shared as a punishment, but we also have to hand over double the food, otherwise we will be caught by the Japanese puppet army and sent to the front line to dig fortifications and work as coolies, regardless of life or death..."

"Over time, the common people started avoiding us!"

"I'm afraid that once we leave, the Japanese and puppet troops will trouble them again!"

Kong Jie clenched his fists and cursed, "These bastards... are worse than little devils!"

As he spoke, he proposed to Liu Sen: "Can you find out these traitors and turn the Japanese and puppet soldiers into blind and deaf people!"

Liu Sen shook his head: "These ordinary people are not real traitors, they were all forced by little devils!"

"The devils forced them to be security chiefs, and killed their family members if they didn't do anything. In order to save their lives, they had to do things against their conscience!"

"Most of the security chiefs are focusing on the small and zooming in to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops, but they will still cause huge losses to the villagers!"

Kong Jie clenched his fists tighter, looked at the empty village in front of him and continued to ask: "There are many good fields in the Yizhong Plain, and the grain output is high. The life of the villagers should be better than other places, right?"

Liu Sen shook his head: "The yield of grain in the Yizhong Plain is indeed higher than that in Northwest Shanxi, but the taxes of the villagers are also very heavy. In addition, the Japanese and puppet troops at all levels are required to collect cards, and they are exploited layer by layer. The food left over from a year of hard work Still not enough rations!"

"Especially in the past two years...not only the food that the puppet army ate came from the common people...the Japanese also began to rely on the local people to support them, and they had to collect a large amount of food to send to other places as military rations, which caused the rations in the hands of the villagers to increase year by year. Young..."

"In two more months this year, many people will have to live on wild vegetables..."

When Kong Jie wanted to continue asking, the guard company commander suddenly ran towards them, and before he could stand still, he reported with a happy face: "Regimental Commander, Chief of Staff, we have taken down the town hall and the police station..."

"18 traitors were killed and 21 traitors were captured..."

"The chief of the police station is dead, and the mayor is a prisoner..."

"The warehouses of the police station and the town office are full of grain... visually, there are at least 20 catties... I've grown up so much... I've never seen so much grain at once!"

"No wonder the people in the town are pale and emaciated, and have to rely on wild vegetables to survive. It turns out that the food has been robbed by these dog traitors!"

"So much?" Kong Jie gasped.

Although I was prepared in my heart, I was still taken aback.

In the past in Northwest Shanxi, it might not be possible to seize so many county towns even if you took down a county town!

It's really surprising that so many have been seized after just laying down a town.

After the shock comes the surprise.

With food in hand, don't panic...

If the Yizhong Plain really had a steady supply of food, then it would not be a dream to expand the Duer Regiment to 5000 people. Maybe in the future there would be a chance to capture Tianjin Wharf and seize back all the weapons and ammunition that the Japanese hoarded there.

Liu Sen explained calmly: "Leader...the food seems to be a lot, but that's it!"

"Not counting the surrounding villages, there are more than 2000 people in Pingyang Town alone..."

"Five acres of land per capita can produce more than 200 million catties of grain a year... The Japanese and puppet troops took half of it, and the villagers kept 70 million catties as rations. Officials at all levels deducted and extorted part of it, and the rest went to the town hall. With the police station..."

"In addition to the town, the village offices will also provide some food to them..."

"I think 20 catties of grain is not enough... They must have sold a lot of grain in exchange for money, otherwise where would they get so much money to support the police and thugs..."

"I suggest that the troops search the town hall and the police station again...there must be oceans and gold hidden by the enemy, and we have to dig three feet to find them!"

"All the food was transported back to the base area..."

"The captives should be shot and released based on the crimes they have committed!"

"No!" Kong Jie shook his head and objected: "These grains are the rations of the villagers who were robbed by the traitors... I just watched them eat wild vegetables to survive, and I couldn't eat even if I brought them back to the base area!"

Liu Sen replied helplessly: "Then what should I do?"

"If it was distributed to the common people, we would be taken back by the Japanese puppet army as soon as we left... Isn't it just for nothing?"

Kong Jie thought for a moment and replied, "Is there anyone in the village?"

"Yes!" Liu Sen blurted out.

"There is a party group... in order not to expose the target, it has not been out for a long time!"

Kong Jie shook his head again: "I don't need them to come out for activities!"

"They are very familiar with the situation in the town and know which people in the town really support us and support us!"

"Let them make a list... After dark, send food according to the list, fifty catties per person, and send it quietly..."

"Tell the folks who got the food...we don't send food to every household, let them hide the food, it's better to bury it in the ground, and eat it when saving lives in the future!"

"If there are trustworthy neighbors who run out of food, I can give them some, but the amount must be controlled, and other people must not know that there is a lot of food hidden in the house!"

"Since there is no condition to feed all the common people, let the part of the people who support us have enough to eat first, so that they will no longer be hungry... and then slowly expand to every common people!"
