I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 109 Persuasion
The puppet army surrendered, and Zhang Dabiao took over Wanjia Town with a battalion of soldiers.

However, considering that the first battalion would not stay in Wanjia Town for a long time, Kong Jie ordered Zhang Dabiao to restrain the soldiers so as not to affect the lives of the residents of Wanjia Town.

Some soldiers took out ammunition, firearms, and various supplies from the warehouse of the puppet army in Wanjia Town, and tied them to the horses.Hundreds of war horses were enough for the soldiers to take away all the spoils captured in Wanjia Town, and the bullets in the hands of the puppet soldiers were also confiscated. The independent regiment was so poor that they didn't want to leave any bullets for the puppet troops.

"Boss, Boss, hello, I'm the battalion commander here. Boss, if you have anything to do, our brothers will fully cooperate. I hope you will show mercy." Said.

The battalion commander of the puppet army was a little worried. As a cavalry battalion under the Eighth Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, they thought they were much stronger than other puppet troops.On weekdays, many of them have bullied ordinary people. Now that the Eighth Route Army has arrived, he is still very worried that he will be killed by the Eighth Route Army.Facing a battalion of soldiers guarding them with guns around them, the puppet battalion commander was full of worries.

"As long as you haven't done anything bad, don't worry, our Eighth Route Army won't touch you." Kong Jie glanced at the puppet battalion commander, and said in a deep voice.

The puppet battalion commander's face was ugly. He was worried about this matter, "Boss, I have something to discuss. How much do you want to buy my dog's life? As long as I can survive, I am willing to donate a certain amount of money to your army as a ransom." capital!"

"Keep your money for yourself." Kong Jie understood that this puppet battalion commander must have done nothing good.

It can be said that Kong Jie didn't have any good feelings for such a puppet army. Looking at the other puppet troops who were captured, Kong Jie persuaded these puppet troops to join the ranks of the independent regiment and fight devils together with the independent regiment.After all, these puppet troops lost so many war horses, and they would definitely be punished by the Japanese devils. It may not be a good thing to stay here and continue to be a puppet army.

But looking at the puppet army that didn't fluctuate much, Kong Jie was a little helpless. These puppet troops were a bit recalcitrant, and they believed that the Eighth Route Army would not kill them all.Many of the puppet soldiers are thankful that they have no chance to bully ordinary people due to their relatively low positions on weekdays. Now that they have never done such a thing, it means that they are safe.

Many officers of the puppet army looked ugly. They wanted to survive, but they had no weapons in their hands. Facing a battalion of soldiers with guns around them, they had no chance of escaping at all.As for inciting the surrounding puppet troops to rebel, it is naturally impossible. The other puppet troops are not fools, knowing that their lives are not in danger, naturally they will not follow these officers to die.

"Captain Kong, can I say a few words?" Seeing that Kong Jie's persuasion had no effect, Liu Gen stepped forward and said.

Liu Gen didn't know whether his own persuasion would be effective, but he was willing to try it. He didn't have anything to do, and it wouldn't waste much time to try it.

"Okay! Then you can try it." Kong Jie was a little surprised, but still said.

Although Kong Jie didn't think Liu Gen's words would be effective, he was still willing to let Liu Gen try.Now that the establishment of the independent regiment is being compressed, a large number of soldiers need to be added.The combat effectiveness of these imperial association troops is very weak, that's because there is very little training on weekdays. If these people can be absorbed into the independent regiment, then Kong Jie has a way to make these puppet troops no longer have any other thoughts.

"Brothers in the puppet army, the deputy head of our regiment who spoke to you just now, let me say a few words to you now."

"We are all Chinese, and this is undeniable. I know that many of you chose to become puppet soldiers because you couldn't get enough to eat. The Japanese devils are also very powerful in fighting. You chose to join the Japanese army and help them fight. Imperial Association Army! But now is not the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. In the past few years, has everyone not seen that the Japanese devils are not so powerful in combat? Let alone the distance, let’s talk about the nearness. The devils are the base of our Eighth Route Army The encirclement and suppression did not have any effect, but many devils died under the guns of our Eighth Route Army!"

"..."

In the face of these puppet troops, Liu Gen understood reason and emotion, mainly because the combat effectiveness of catching the Japanese devils was not that strong, and the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was also getting stronger.The most important thing is that if they don't join the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely be punished when the devils come.In addition, Liu Gen promised that after joining the independent group, these people would be able to eat enough every day, and after a certain monthly allowance, many people were tempted and chose to join the independent group.

Soon, most of the puppet army made a decision and they chose to join the independent regiment.The rest of the puppet army who have not made a decision are mostly officers in the puppet army. They have done a lot of evil on weekdays and know that they will not end well.As for the other puppet troops, they wanted to leave, to find a place to hide, and not to participate in any battles.

Regarding the decisions made by these puppet troops, Liu Gen and others did not choose to interfere. After most of the puppet troops made the decision to join the independent regiment, other people were in charge of this matter.

"Genzi, it's yours. I didn't expect you to take down these puppet soldiers in a few sentences." Kong Jie looked at Liu Gen and said with admiration.

Liu Gen shook his head hastily, not daring to accept Kong Jie's praise, "Commander Kong, these people chose to join our independent regiment because they saw that our Eighth Route Army could win battles and dared to fight the devils! Besides, some time ago we opposed The victory of the encirclement and suppression also played a big role. The devils have become weaker, and these puppet troops are not fools, so they naturally know how to choose."

"What you said is true. Many people know this, but you are the only one who said it. When I go back, I will tell Lao Li about your performance and let him take credit for you." Kong Jie patted Liu Root's shoulder, said with a smile.

There were less than 200 puppet troops who chose to join the independent regiment, and the cavalry battalion of the puppet army was originally small, with less than 300 cavalry battalions. This is why Li Yunlong was confident that he could easily take down this cavalry battalion.If these puppet troops are brought back, as long as they undergo sufficient training, they will surely be able to quickly form combat effectiveness.It's just that with so many puppet troops joining the independent regiment, it will have a little impact, but let Li Yunlong, the regiment leader, have a headache for these things.

At six or seven o'clock in the morning, Kong Jie left Wanjia Town with Liu Gen and others. There were nearly 500 soldiers in the first battalion plus the puppet army preparing to join the independent regiment.Coupled with the horses brought, the size of the team seemed a bit huge.Different from when he came, when he went back, Kong Jie sent many soldiers to investigate to avoid any attack.

More than 300 horses are still quite precious, and I am afraid that many people will have ideas.
