Liujia Village was 50 kilometers away from the Shouyang Devils 'stronghold in the north. The mountains in the east and west were continuous, making it easy to attack and retreat. The Japanese troops in the east, west, and south were far away.
Li Yun Long's Independent Regiment was stationed here, preparing to establish a base.
At first, the villagers of Liu Village were not willing to let the independent regiment enter the village, but after the independent regiment took out a large amount of French coins, they let it go.
There were only a few hundred people in the Independent Regiment, so the first thing they did was to recruit people. However, for the next few days, there were very few villagers who came to join the army. Li Yunlong was puzzled, so he called a meeting to find a solution.
Wang Yuanliang had transmigrated from the future and had experienced an explosion of knowledge. This scene was nothing. He immediately thought of a few directions.
First, the Eighth Route Army had just arrived, and the people did not understand the policies of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, after this year, the war was chaotic. The national army was recruiting strong men, the warlords were fighting, and now the devils were joining in the fun. The people were very afraid of the soldiers.
Secondly, the situation in Shanxi had deteriorated in the past year. There was a vacuum in the local armed forces. Bandits ran amok and robbed the people. The people were in dire straits.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuanliang said at the meeting,"
"Everyone, think about it. If the commoners don't join the army, they definitely don't understand us. We can explain to you the policies of the Eighth Route Army, the Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight policies. Also, our Red Army has a fine tradition of equality between officers and soldiers. We eat, drink, wear, and treat our superiors and subordinates equally. There will be no unfair treatment. Joining the army meant giving out dividends and food. Not only could they learn military, but they could also eliminate illiterates, strengthen their bodies, fight against the Japanese army, and so on. These were all benefits.”
" Also, the Japanese invaded the rabbits and massacred civilians everywhere. There was the Blue Whale Massacre in the distance, and the villages near Niangzi Pass suffered the revenge of the Japanese. Many villages have disappeared without a trace. There must be relatives in the nearby villages who don't know what happened there. Moreover, many of our soldiers are from Niangzi Pass. We can find some people who have suffered deeply and tell the people nearby.”
"We have to let the people understand that if they don't join the army, how can they protect their families in peace? In addition, we can send out scouts to check the situation in the vicinity. We're new here. The Japanese, puppet troops, bandits, landlords, and hooligans might even have security guards exploiting the people and preventing them from joining our Eighth Route Army. The people dare to be angry but dare not say anything.”
"Well said."
"The logic is clear."
"Could this be the descent of the Civil Star?”
The soldiers had never seen such a scene before, and they all applauded.
"Quiet down." Seeing that no one had any objections and that Wang Yuanliang's explanation was simple and clear, Li Yunlong said,"
"Since everyone has agreed, then it's settled.”
A few days later, the soldiers had already spread the news to the surrounding villages, but there were still not many people who came to join the army. The number of people in the independent regiment was less than 500. The scouts had found more than 50 bandits of various sizes within 30 kilometers of the area. There were even three that had more than 400 people. They were Qinggou Stronghold, Coiling Dragon Stronghold, and Oolong Stronghold.
The independent regiment relied on the veterans of the Long March as the backbone and the recruits as backup. They went out for a week and trained the recruits. The small group of bandits had been wiped out. Green Ravine Village had requested to surrender and was reorganized and reformed by the Independent Regiment. The remaining fleeing bandits were gathered in Coiled Dragon Village and Dark Dragon Village.
Wang Yuanliang's system upgrade could only be obtained by killing the Japanese (foreigners). Killing the rabbit's own people could not be obtained, nor could the puppet army. Therefore, Wang Yuanliang was not interested in internal warfare and only wanted to kill the Japanese.
Coiled Dragon Stronghold had three cliffs. There was a large slope that allowed one to go up and down. There was a large stronghold gate in front of it. There were more than 800 bandits and more than 300 guns of all kinds. In his early years, the boss had participated in a warlord melee. After his failure, he established the Panlong Station and knew military knowledge.
Oolong Stronghold was also a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The boss had been persecuted by the landlord before. After killing the landlord, he went up the mountain to become a bandit. Now, he had more than 1000 people and more than 500 guns.
These two bandit strongholds were not something that the independent regiment could take down with a fierce attack. Although the independent regiment had wiped out the bandits for a week and had more than 900 members after reorganization, the quality of the personnel and the number of weapons had not kept up.
On the other hand, the elimination of many bandits nearby, the implementation of the new land reform policy, and the assistance of the devils (slaughtering villages) made the people continuously recognize the Eighth Route Army. The army and the people were one family.
Li Yunlong's headache was the weapons of the soldiers. The entire regiment had more than 300 guns, and 200 guns were collected from the bandits. They had lost 50 guns, and they were also facing a shortage of bullets. There was a Japanese brigade and a puppet squadron in the northern Japanese stronghold. The Wulong Stronghold in the west and the Coiling Dragon Stronghold in the northeast were all tough bones. One bite would break their teeth.
Li Yunlong immediately called Wang Yuanliang to the regiment headquarters.
"Yuan Liang, our regiment has fought a few battles before, but we lack clothes and ammunition. We don't have many guns either. It's almost the new year, so we have to think of a way.”
Wang Yuanliang replied," Regiment Commander, we can lure the Japanese. I will lead some soldiers who are fast and have good marksmanship to harass the rear of the Japanese. If the Japanese don't come, we will attack the Japanese logisticians. If a squadron of the Japanese came, I would lure them into our regiment's ambush zone. If a large team comes…"
"Kid, you have quite a lot of ideas.”"So what if we have a brigade?" Li Yunlong laughed and scolded.”
"Regiment Commander, if the Japanese send out a large group, I can't run even if I can't defeat them. There are mountains in the west. The soldiers and I will bring the Japanese to the mountains for a few rounds. We will make sure that they are out of breath. When they faint, our regiment will take a part of them or destroy their logistics team depending on the situation.”Wang Yuanliang said.
"Alright, your plan sounds good. Do you have any requests?”
"Regiment commander, you have to give me 50 bullets, a few days of rations, and 10 people with good legs. When the time comes, I promise to bring a squadron of Japanese.”
"Alright, I approve. Hurry up and prepare. We'll set off as soon as possible.”Li Yunlong said.
Wang Yuanliang was so confident mainly because of the Sniper's aiming skill (Level 2, 350 meters), the System Space Level 1, 1 cubic meter, and the Invincible Barrier. The Japanese would shoot from 350 meters away, and once the danger was eliminated within 300 meters, they would retreat. He believed that there should be no Japanese Snipers in a small Japanese stronghold.
Wang Yuanliang took 50 bullets and threw the rations and water into the system space. He took 10 soldiers and walked for a day. They arrived at a telephone line 3 kilometers away from Shouyang Stronghold. He ordered 10 soldiers to wait 1 kilometer behind. The Independent Regiment would set off a day later and would lie in ambush three kilometers behind them.
Seeing a soldier running to say that he was ready, Wang Yuanliang also went forward to cut off the telephone line and waited for the Japanese engineers to arrive at a small mound 300 meters away. He must make the Japanese fear the Eighth Route Army.
Sure enough, an hour later, two Japanese engineers rode over on bicycles and cursed.
