Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 264 Militia (Second update!)
Recruitment went smoothly. The independent regiment fought against a brigade of the Japanese army with one regiment, and finally made the Japanese army retreat from the battlefield.Although there are reasons for the reinforcement of the military division, ordinary people don't know it.

Therefore, the people of Laiyuan City directly put all the military achievements against a brigade of the Japanese army on the independent regiment.

Although the Independence Regiment suffered heavy casualties in this war, after the huge casualties, there was a situation of filial piety in every village in Laiyuan.However, the common people all know that it is perfectly normal for soldiers to beat devils to death.Moreover, after joining the Eighth Route Army and sacrificed, the pension and food sent by the Eighth Route Army are real things.It's better than being pulled by some army and dying on the battlefield without even finding a body.

Therefore, after the order to recruit troops from the Independence Regiment was issued, the people in Laiyuan were still scrambling to join the army.

"Head, the enthusiasm of the common people is so high, I think we should do something?" Cheng Xiao found Wang Ping just two days after the recruiting started.

"In just two days, we have received nearly [-] qualified recruits at our recruiting points scattered around the country. At this rate, it won't take long for the independent regiment to be full. The common people help us so unconditionally, and we It’s definitely not enough to give them a little settling allowance. We must find a way to compensate everyone in other ways, and we can’t let them just send their husbands and children to our Eighth Route Army!”

After all, Wang Ping's soul came from later generations. Apart from the most common economic and material compensation, he really didn't think of other ways.

He frowned and asked, "Political Commissar, did you hear something?"

Cheng Xiao shook his head and replied: "The [-]st and [-]nd regiments of the military division were ordered to expand their base areas. They gained more around us than we did. Not only did they harvest a large number of recruits, but they also gained the support of the local people. In this regard, our independent regiment Incomparable!"

"Although there are many people joining our independent regiment, many of them are for fighting the devils, or for the little compensation we give them, and some are for the sake of having a meal in the army so that they won't starve to death at home. As for the people who really support us, there are, but not many. I think we must change this situation. Calm down the gap when the Japanese army has no strength to go out of the city to attack us, and gather the hearts of the people in Laiyuan to us, and truly support Let's fight devils!"

"So, I think we should learn to divide into two main groups and establish a base area in the Everbright countryside, the travel notes area. Gather the common people together to fight devils and engage in production, so that everyone will not be hungry and sincerely support us!"

"Then do it, do what you have to do. You are the political commissar, and the establishment of the base area is your business, and you don't need to report to me!" Wang Ping came to his senses, then stared at Cheng Xiao and asked.

Cheng Xiao smiled wryly and said, "It's my job to build a base, but I don't have enough people!"

"Also, this time when the Japanese army attacked us, the snobbery of the Japanese and puppet troops who had been quiet in various villages jumped up again, and many villages were once again controlled by the traitor landlords who gave their lives to the devil. I need the support of the army to eliminate the armed forces of these landlords, and by the way The land controlled by the traitors is distributed to the people without compensation, so that we can receive food taxes during the autumn harvest and reduce the logistical pressure on the troops.”

"Also, there is another advantage of allocating land to ordinary people and then collecting taxes on them. That is to force the local landlords and gentry to reduce rent and interest. If we collect lower taxes, ordinary people will grow the land we distribute to them. Instead of being tenants for landlords and gentry with high grain rents. Without tenants, their fields will be left unused, but the taxes that should be handed over to us must be paid. They can only lower the grain rent, and then someone will farm for them , they will gain.”

"Also, after the base area is established, each village must form guerrilla units, district squadrons, and district squads to protect their own property and then fight the devils. This also requires the support of you, the regiment leader, to send troops to help the villages form and train guerrillas. If possible, it is best to send some military backbones to directly join the district squadrons and district squadrons as commanders, and train and command them to fight.”

Wang Ping quickly understood, and agreed to send troops without much thought.

The three battalions attacked together in a company with mortars and heavy machine guns. In a few days, half of the traitors in Laiyuan were devastated.

The remaining traitors finally knew they were afraid, and all hid in the county town to seek asylum from the Japanese.

Although Ono is very divided, but also very unwilling.

But it is very difficult for him to even defend Laiyuan City, so how could he send troops out of the city to protect these villages that are definitely impossible to defend.

As a result, these people had no choice but to give up their property and land outside the city, and Ono could only watch in frustration as the Eighth Route Army turned the countryside around the county town into their base.

"Head, you need to give orders to establish local guerrilla units, district squadrons, district squadrons, and county brigades. You also need to decide the commanders of these units. After all, after the formation of guerrilla units, there will also be combat missions, and To cooperate with the main force to fight?" A few days later, political commissar Cheng Xiao found Wang Ping again.

"How is the formation of the guerrillas going?" Wang Pingmei answered directly.

"The effect is very good!" Cheng Xiao replied happily.

"After eradicating the traitors and tyrants in the villages, every household is divided into fields and food. Although there are not many fields, it is still not a problem to support the family after deducting the grain tax."

"In order to defend these lands, everyone is very motivated to join the guerrillas. In smaller villages, the size of the guerrillas is one platoon, and in larger villages, the size of the guerrillas exceeds a company. All the guerrillas in Laiyuan are all There are more than 6000 people in total!"

When Wang Ping came to this world, these few days were his most leisurely time.

After hearing about Cheng Xiao's establishment of the base a few days ago, Wang Ping realized that although he was reborn, although he brought a lot of advanced military ideas and concepts, he also forgot the fundamental reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to defeat the Japanese invaders in this era. Cause, People's War!

Don't want to know, just want to startle.

No force can replace the use of the People's War in the eight-year war of resistance.

Just a simple statistic, during the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the main force of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area grew from a few thousand people at that time to more than 30 people later, and its strength expanded more than 100 times.However, the militia troops in the base area not only started from scratch, but also directly grew to a scale of more than 90 people.

The soldiers who joined the main force were basically from the militia.

Moreover, the base area has fought countless battles in eight years, almost all of which cannot do without the support or help of the militia.

Since the militia is so important, Wang Ping must pay attention to it.Among other things, the day that the militiamen can provide the main force with trained and qualified soldiers is enough for Wang Ping to value him.

Therefore, before Cheng Xiao came, Wang Ping thought about how to develop the militia well.

However, after hearing that the size of Laiyuan's militia had exceeded 6000 in a few days, Wang Ping not only didn't have any smile on his face, but instead wrinkled into a big pucker!
