Chapter 97 Kong Jie's Ambition
Since the independent regiment moved its base to Yangcun, Kong Jie began to arrange the work of the regiment as usual. During this period, there were two very important issues.
The first issue is agricultural production, which is a commonplace, but the situation in Yangcun is special.
Before the independent regiment came here to garrison, Yangcun had just been looted by a wave of puppet troops.
If it were not for the food supported by the brigade and friendly forces, the common people might not be able to hold on to the next wave of wheat harvest.
The second problem that needs to be solved is bandits. The era of war and chaos is always the time when bandits are prevalent.
Banditry is one of the social problems facing the current base area. These inhuman beasts have seriously affected the consolidation of the anti-Japanese base area and the people's peace and happiness.
And for ordinary people, bandits are more terrible than the devils.
Although both do such unscrupulous things as murder, arson and rape, most of the little people only want valuables or things of strategic significance when robbing.
And the devils in Shanxi Province generally do not easily massacre the city unless they have any special political tasks.
These invaders are still fantasizing that they can rule here in the future and expand the influence of the bullshit East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere.
But the bandits are different. These people never leave empty-handed. Sometimes they even take the pickled vegetables in the kitchen of ordinary people.
The women in the families of ordinary people living under the shadow of bandits have to paint their faces black.
Their strongholds are basically built in dangerous places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, which has become the bandits' reliance. These bastards kill and set fires without caring whether they will be cleared out. They do evil according to their mood.
The Eighth Route Army has different attitudes towards different bandits.
Because someone said that we should unite all the forces that can be united, so that a spark can start a prairie fire.
When the troops are suppressing bandits, those stubborn elements who refuse to repent and commit heinous crimes are generally taken back for public trial and then executed on the spot.
Sometimes they will encounter ordinary bandits or "civilian armed forces" who are forced to surrender, but this is almost one in a hundred, and the treatment of these people will be relatively lenient.
If the other party is willing to go back to farming, the troops will give them travel expenses and even help them choose a place to settle down.
If you are willing to join the People's Army, you are welcome to join.
But you must first undergo ideological education, and only after meeting the standards can you be dispersed into various troops.
After Kong Jie arrived in Yang Village, he immediately started to investigate the banditry around him.
Because there was only one mountain stronghold within a hundred miles, he quickly got first-hand intelligence.
Looking at the complaints of the common people, Kong Jie had to admit that this was a group of unforgivable bandits.
It has been more than 20 years since the establishment of the Black Cloud Village. They dare to attack anyone without scruples.
Whether it is the little devils, the preserved fruit troops, the puppet army, the caravans or even the Eighth Route Army, they have robbed them, and they are very arrogant and claim to be the mountain kings in this area.
But being able to survive for so long also indirectly proves that this group of bandits has some skills.
The Black Cloud Village has repelled the preserved fruit troops that came to suppress the bandits many times, but because they were not the main force, this group of bandits continued to grow by fighting.
After reading these investigation results, Kong Jie knew without thinking that these people must be well-trained, and a group of rabble would never be able to make such a name.
If their independent regiment wanted to attack by force, it would definitely be more trouble than gain.
Because the troops lacked heavy weapons, it would cost a huge price just to break the door.
If they really rushed over, it would be a stupid command, and the boss would be angry to death.
But the bandit suppression must be done. This group of people not only harmed the local people, but also had weapons and equipment that the independent regiment coveted.
Kong Jie locked himself in the command room of the regiment headquarters, thinking about countermeasures for an entire afternoon, and finally found a way to break the deadlock.
Then he contacted the brigade commander as soon as possible, and while reporting the bandit suppression operation, he also borrowed a person from the other party.
This man is called Gao Jianwu, who was once a small leader of a certain blue organization in Shang H. He was seriously injured in a gunfight that year, and was later taken in by Mr. Wang.
This gangster knew the national justice very well, applied to become our underground worker, and later moved to various places and finally came to the current base.
Because he has too much of a gangster vibe, he is not suitable to stay in the army. He is now in charge of underground work in Shanxi Province.
Comrades have mixed opinions on Gao Jianwu, but they have never questioned his work ability. Generally speaking, he is a very reliable intelligence worker.
When Kong Jie wanted to wipe out Heiyun Village, Gao Jianwu was the first person he thought of. No matter how strong the fortress is, it cannot withstand the collapse from within.
When the brigade commander learned of Kong Jie's idea, he thought for a moment and thought it was very feasible.
He immediately contacted Gao Jianwu through special means, and the head of the special agent in Shanxi Province accepted this difficult task without hesitation.
After discussing with his capable subordinates, Gao Jianwu chose a small-scale village and successfully occupied the magpie's nest after a little trick.
In the next few months, they robbed the gang all the way. While strengthening themselves, they made a name for their mountain village.
In order to prevent their peers from doubting their identities, the independent regiment also specially sent soldiers to disguise themselves as ordinary people and caravans.
After several pretend robberies, Gao Jianwu successfully concealed the eyes and ears of local bandits.
Moreover, the supplies brought by the independent regiment attracted some gangsters who came here because of their reputation.
As an agent who has been in Shanxi Province for many years, Gao Jianwu has met all kinds of people. These people only know that he is from the Blue Organization and is generous.
After paying some price, he successfully found a qualified guarantor to recommend the newly established village.
Then Gao Jianwu brought his men directly to Heiyun Village, and successfully went undercover here after passing the court and worshipping incense. At first, Xie Baoqing did not trust this newly joined gang.
As a bandit who dominated one side, he has always been very cautious and has been constantly testing Gao Jianwu since the first day he came.
But the three heads of Heiyun Village, no matter how stable they are, can't beat the old fox who once dominated the world. With the cooperation of the independent regiment, Gao Jianwu only took one month to integrate into the group.
Coincidentally, one time when the second and third heads went out to scout the place, they encountered a squadron of Japanese cavalry.
Even though the brothers in the mountain village fought to the death to cover the rear, the third head Ma Liu still died under the Japanese saber.
Although Xie Baoqing was furious when he learned about this, he decided to first select a new third in command and then choose the time to take revenge.
Gao Jianwu has been using various means to win the hearts of the people through his interactions with the bandits during this period of time. In the end, the spy chief seized this opportunity and successfully took over.
Sorry, it's too late
