Lin Fan had to admit that during the war, the Eighth Route Army was very tough.
As long as there was a little breathing time, even the smallest spark of the Eighth Route Army would gradually appear like a prairie fire.
After taking on the task of publicity, Lin Fan also shifted the focus of his work to mobilize the masses.
In this era, the hatred towards Japan was national. Regardless of whether it was an honest farmer or a local ruffian, as long as the Japanese were mentioned, everyone would be filled with righteous indignation and would want to immediately go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese.
"I, Chen Ba, have nothing else but a rotten life! As long as the Eighth Route Army wants it, I will report to the barracks today!”
"I still have quite a few brothers. When they heard that they could join the Eighth Route Army, they were all overjoyed.”
Even the usually black-hearted squire now understood that if the Japanese didn't fall, even if he was the richest in the village, it would be useless.
"Sir, I can't go to the battlefield with my old body, but there's a lot of food in my granary.”
Although there was a saying that one shouldn't take a needle or a thread from the masses, one couldn't be completely detached from the actual situation. Now was a good time for the independent regiment to flourish. Lin Fan would definitely not miss this opportunity.
In less than three months, Lin Fan's 3rd Battalion had more than 1,000 people. This expansion really shocked Li Yun Long.
One had to know that a normal group only had a thousand people. Lin Fan's 3rd Battalion alone was almost comparable to the original group.
"Battalion Commander, our 3rd Battalion has so many people, shouldn't we slow down?”Sun Desheng only had Lin Fan as his leader, but when he saw the 3rd Battalion expanding crazily, he felt a little nervous.
Although it was a good thing to have more people, if the number of people was uneven, their combat strength might only be inflated. When it came to fighting against the elite troops of the Japanese, it might cause a disaster.
"No, this number is not enough.”Lin Fan thought for a while and slowly but firmly shook his head. It was not because he was blindly arrogant, but because the Battle of Peace was about to break out. At that time, each battalion of the Independent Regiment would have more than a thousand people, and the number of people in the first battalion would exceed his imagination and reach more than two thousand people. His third battalion could not possibly only have this little bit of wealth.
"However, we can temporarily delay the number of people. Now, we have to hurry up and train them. Don't become weaklings on the battlefield.”
Lin Fan finally said," Moreover, letting them enter the real battlefield earlier will also allow them to familiarize themselves earlier and grow better.”
"The next time you rob a Japanese convoy, bring a portion of the new recruits. I'll leave this portion to you!”
Lin Fan said to Sun Desheng seriously.
Sun Desheng agreed and rushed out to train without any nonsense.
However, Lin Fan might not have thought that because he had robbed too many Japanese transport vehicles, he was already " famous " on the Japanese side. Shinozuka Yoshio and the others wanted to swallow him alive.
"Baka! The batch of important resources from yesterday was snatched away by the Independent Regiment again?!”
Shinozuka Yoshio slammed his palm on the table, causing the teacups on the table to topple over. However, the others did not even dare to breathe loudly. They lowered their heads and looked nervously at the furious Shinozuka Yoshio.
"They are hidden in the mountains, so it is difficult for us to detect them!”
"Your Excellency Yoshio Shinozuka! There's definitely a traitor among us! Otherwise, the 8th Route Army wouldn't have been able to find out our transportation information every time!”
"You have to know that even the Americans can't crack the encrypted telegram. The Chinese people with backward technology can't crack our intelligence every time!”
Shinozuka Yoshio took a few deep breaths and suppressed the urge to pull out his katana.
"There's a batch of important supplies being flown over from America tonight. If there's any more problems, all of you have to commit hara-kiri to apologize to the emperor!”Shinozuka Yoshio flew into a rage. Tonight's batch of weapons was a part of the weapons that the commander-in-chief had spent a lot of effort to get from the shrewd Americans. If anything were to go wrong, even he would not be able to escape punishment.
"Ha Yi! Ha Yi!"
The people below nodded repeatedly.
However, no matter how careful the Japanese were, Lin Fan could easily grasp their movements.
This batch of goods that had been personally handed over by Shinozaka Yoshio also did not escape Lin Fan's hands. They were almost robbed clean. In the end, only a small number of Japanese soldiers escaped, but those supplies could not be returned.
Although Shinozuka Yoshio was furious, he was still helpless. He only continued to strengthen their counter-intelligence work in secret, but the gains were very small, far less than the energy and financial resources they had invested in this.
Lin Fan was like a greedy wolf. As long as there was any movement in the Japanese army, he would come as promised. The entire Japanese army was like a great enemy. The name of the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment gradually spread to Shinozuka Yoshio's ears.
"Lin Fan? Independent Regiment, former Cavalry Battalion Commander?" Shinozuka Yoshio carefully read through the information in front of him." Yukishi, this person is a thorn in the side of our Empire of Japan. The losses he has brought to our army are incalculable. It's really unimaginable!”
(P.S. Flowers! Collect it! The tickets were thrown over! A 10-point evaluation was thrown at him! Watch the main character kill the devils, help Li Yunlong to enter the list, and be a true man!!!）
