Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Kong Jie's impassioned speech resulted in the addition of a special team dedicated to construction at the independent regiment's base.

There were nearly 500 puppet soldiers captured!

Kong Jie gave them a special external title - the Glorious Labor Team of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

What is the slogan?

"I work, I am glorious!"

"Work hard to get rich, build for the country!"

No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, or extreme cold or scorching heat, just do it!

As for the captain of the Glorious Labor Team, it was none other than Liu Gui, the puppet army platoon leader captured by the special forces after they captured the No. 7 stronghold.

At that time, with the cooperation of Liu Gui, the soldiers successfully killed the Muramasa Squadron that escaped to the No. 7 stronghold.

Liu Gui was the first to fire, shooting Muramasa to death, thus showing the Eighth Route Army his willingness to surrender and his determination to kill the devils.

In order to win the hearts of the puppet army prisoners, it is best for their leaders to be their own people, so that they can better understand the minds of these puppet soldiers.

Kong Jie then handed over the glorious task of labor construction to Liu Gui.

Of course, in addition to the team leader Liu Gui, there is also an instructor specially arranged by Kong Jie.

The instructor holds real power and uses it to correct, monitor, and teach the team members' thoughts at any time to ensure the practicality of labor reform.

Regiment Headquarters.

When Kong Jie patted Liu Gui's shoulder encouragingly and said earnestly: "The construction of the base is a significant and glorious task. Liu Gui, I will leave this job to you, including the entire glorious labor team. I will leave it to you. Don't let me down!"

As for how far Liu Gui can lead this team in the future, or even whether he can build an infrastructure maniac for the future country, it is still unknown.

That depends on his own luck.

Encouraged by this, Liu Gui had no other words to say. He responded with a determination to fight to the death: "Captain, you have given me a new life. I, Liu Gui, will never forget it. Please rest assured, I promise to complete the mission!"

Walking out of the regiment compound and looking up at the sky, Liu Gui saw that it was clear and cloudless. He still felt like he was dreaming.

I thought that I had become a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army and that a nightmare would be waiting for me.

Who would have thought that Captain Kong not only treated me well, but also valued me.

Originally, he was just a small platoon leader, who had to live under the watchful eyes of the Japanese all day long and had only 20 to 30 troops under his command.

But now it has changed dramatically.

A neatly-organized team of nearly 500 people stood before us.

It's almost as big as a regiment in their puppet army system.

What is the most important thing?

——Liu Gui was watching this puppet army team grow rapidly like a snowball, from the initial 20-odd people to nearly 500 people in front of him.

Who knows how many puppet soldiers the regiment commander will capture in the future?

Maybe in the future Liu Gui will have tens of thousands of men and horses under his command, and will be more powerful than his mother's commander!

Thinking of this, Liu Gui suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, and he was even more motivated.

If I don't lead this team and build the base, how can I be worthy of the trust that Captain Kong has placed in me?

Liu Gui suddenly had a goal in life. He was no longer like a headless fly. Instead, he took firm steps and strode away.

When Li Yunlong arrived at the regiment headquarters, he said to Kong Jie in surprise:

"Damn it, this is really weird. Was it Liu Gui who just walked out of the yard? He was walking with big strides and his head tilted up. I thought it was some leader coming!

This kid has become quite clever now!"

As Li Yunlong spoke, he sat down on the kang and brought Kong Jie the latest news - news about the expansion of the troops and the recruitment of new soldiers.

"Lao Kong, guess what happened when we pulled our recruitment office out this time?

My goodness! The young and strong men who came to join the army almost broke down the threshold of our independent regiment. Almost all the villagers from all over the country came, including some people in the enemy-occupied areas who heard the news and secretly slipped out of the territory controlled by the Japanese and rushed to join the army.

In less than three days, we already had more than 800 new recruits on the list.

If this trend continues, it won’t be long before our independent regiment becomes an independent brigade or even an independent division.”

Although the independent regiment was not a regular part of the National Army's combat sequence, it was still the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Not long ago, we captured the No. 7 stronghold and destroyed the Japanese mechanized combat squadron in one fell swoop.

The reputation of the independent regiment quickly rose in Shouyang area.

During this period, they successively destroyed the enemy's strongholds and artillery towers, and dispatched troops to garrison in the strongholds, in order to confront the Japanese army in Shouyang.

At the same time, we opened up anti-Japanese revolutionary bases behind enemy lines, resettled the people who came to seek refuge, and safeguarded the stability of the areas surrounding the bases.

In this chaotic world, it provides some rare safe places for the people who live in fear.

His reputation has been completely established.

So, when they heard that the independent regiment was recruiting soldiers, young and strong men from all over the country naturally rushed to join the army.

The independent regiment led by Kong Jie suffered more than 300 casualties after the surprise attack on Yangcun by Yamamoto's special forces, and the number of troops was less than .

At present, the base of the independent regiment is getting bigger and bigger.

A force of more than a thousand people is obviously not enough.

Only then did Kong Jie order the expansion and recruitment of new soldiers.

However, the army expanded too quickly, and the large number of new recruits naturally led to new problems.

For example, Lao Zhang, the head of the independent regiment’s logistics department, was the first to rush to the regiment headquarters to complain.

"Captain, there are some things I must make clear to you in advance. During this period of time, the comrades of the special operations team have been attacking strongholds and seizing items everywhere, and they have indeed accumulated a lot of supplies, including food, vegetables, and various daily necessities.

But our entire group already has more than 1000 people, and the daily consumption is terrifying.

Nearly 500 more puppet soldiers were captured these days.

If the army expands rapidly further, a large number of new soldiers will be recruited.

With so many mouths to feed, our independent regiment will eventually go bankrupt."

This was an expected problem, and Kong Jie had actually considered this aspect a long time ago.

So the solution he gave was also very practical: "Lao Zhang, just go back and take care of your logistics work!

Don't worry, there will always be supplies and food.

I have already issued an order to the Glorious Labor Team to help the villagers with farming. In addition, a large amount of wasteland near the base area should be reclaimed to grow some vegetables that can be eaten in the short term, which can at least solve the urgent need.

In addition, not all the new recruits for the expansion of the army will be sent to our independent regiment at once."

In this regard, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong discussed a plan.

The newly recruited comrades will first be arranged to form militias in various villages to undertake village security and protection work. Some of them can be incorporated into local military units, such as district squadrons, district companies, county brigades, etc.

In this way, on the one hand, the pressure of food for this large population can be shared.

On the other hand, new recruits can also start from the militia and local military forces, integrate with the masses, lay a solid foundation, and hone their skills from the grassroots level.

The independent regiment also dispatched cadres to guide training and further consolidate military qualities.

With these additional places, the original militia soldiers and comrades from the local military forces can be directly incorporated into the independent regiment.

Even the recruit training period is saved!

After all, these militia comrades and local military comrades still have a certain military foundation.

After a little integration, you will be able to quickly integrate into the independent group.

in this way.

By mid-June, with the addition of local military and militia forces, excluding the non-combat personnel of the Glorious Labor Team, the strength of the Independent Regiment was further expanded, and the number of combat personnel alone was about 1500.

The vacancies left by more than 300 soldiers who died in the Yangcun encounter were completely filled.

The Independent Group is larger than ever before...
