Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Kong Jie was speechless.

It’s okay if you think about it, Captain.

Our independent regiment suddenly has nearly 8000 more mouths to feed.

How to do it?

Helpless Kong Jie quickly discussed countermeasures with Li Yunlong:

"Fortunately, it is just autumn and the weather has not yet completely cooled down. As long as we can settle the villagers down and give them a place to stay, we can get by for the time being.

There are many villages in the base where nine out of ten houses are empty. If we evenly distribute the population in each village, it can probably accommodate about two to three thousand people. If everyone squeezes in a little more, it might not be a problem to accommodate four to five thousand people.

If there is still not enough space to live in, we will mobilize the villagers and our soldiers to help, cut some wood in the mountains, and build some simple tents to temporarily deal with the situation.

In addition, we should contact the local government as soon as possible and ask them to help make arrangements.”

"The first thing we need to solve is the food problem. We have nearly 8000 more mouths to feed in our base area. This is no joke."

Fortunately, the villagers were very supportive.

When they rushed here from Huangyun Town and the surrounding towns and villages, they brought with them some food, as well as clothes and daily necessities, which were not much at home but would be enough to last for a while.

Some wealthy families even destroyed their homes and donated all their property and grain to help the people in need.

At least in the short term, Kong Jie doesn't have to worry about the villagers who are settled in the base going hungry.

In addition, the independent regiment gained a lot of spoils when they captured Huangyun Town.

Huangyun Town served as the transportation hub of the Japanese army, and its logistics warehouses stored a huge amount of supplies. Not to mention the many warehouses for storing grain alone, there were more than a dozen warehouses. This time, with the assistance of the villagers, the soldiers used large and small carts and transported back food in large and small packages.

According to preliminary estimates, there are at least 50 kilograms.

If it weren't for the nearly 8000 extra civilians, these 50 kilograms of food would be enough to provide military rations for the entire independent regiment for nearly a year if they were eaten frugally.

With these food supplies, Kong Jie has more confidence in settling 8,000 people smoothly in the base.

"After the villagers settle down, they can quickly start production according to the production model developed in our base area. Grain crops have a long growing period, but some vegetables can grow quickly.

As long as you endure for a period of time, the situation will get better. "

"In addition, there are two main points that I am worried about."

At the cadre military meeting held by the independent regiment, Kong Jie raised the issue of how to relocate these 8000 civilians.

He also clearly expressed his concerns:

“First, this is the most important and core safety issue.

In the battle of Huangyun Town, we seized a large amount of equipment and supplies stored by the devils, and even brought back a lot of the basic civilians of Huangyun Town.

The Japanese will never let it go. Given their nature, they will probably retaliate soon.

We must further strengthen the defense works and vigilance inside and outside the base area, and ensure that evacuation drills are carried out for the villagers in each village, especially those who have been newly relocated.

By the way, we secretly set up an internal warning system and security work in each village. Each village selected active civilians to form a militia, and our cadres personally trained them.

Be careful of the Japanese spies and traitors mixed in with the common people.

At the same time, he is responsible for the security and protection of the village. "

The cadres attending the meeting nodded one after another.

Kong Jie continued:

“The second problem is hygiene. You must not underestimate this problem, especially as the number of ordinary people in our base area increases.

Improve sanitary conditions, maintain personal hygiene awareness, and popularize and publicize science. Diseases come from the mouth. What should not be eaten, what kind of water should not be drunk, how to respond urgently if some discomfort occurs in the body, etc.

We need to come up with a set of rules for all of this.”

In this regard, Kong Jie's suggestion was to gather together some veteran Chinese medicine practitioners around the base, and even to capture some Japanese military doctors from major counties.

What are you doing?

Let them work together to compile a simple, practical medical manual that people can use to diagnose and diagnose themselves.

In fact, it was after the founding of New China that the barefoot doctor manual was compiled by veteran Chinese medicine practitioners from all over the country.

Throughout the meeting, Kong Jie explained every aspect he thought of in detail and asked the instructors and counselors attending the meeting to take notes.

At the end of the meeting, Kong Jie concluded:

"Comrades, everyone should remember that our independent regiment is growing stronger and stronger. Behind it are not only more than 1000 soldiers, but also tens of thousands of people in the base area.

Whether it is the development, training, fighting of the troops or the construction and expansion of the bases, we must be extra careful and consider everything carefully.

The independent regiment has already been used as a dough once.

Never be the second rising dough again! "

After the meeting, Kong Jie announced the adjournment of the meeting, and the cadres at the battalion and company levels left the regiment headquarters compound where the meeting was held. However, Li Yunlong sat on a long bench, staring blankly, as if in a daze.

Kong Jie came over and asked curiously, "Old Li, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"

Li Yunlong came back to his senses and said with emotion: "Old Kong, I suddenly feel that I don't know you anymore. Are you still the Kong Erlangzi in my impression who can't be stopped by anyone when he gets stupid and has to cut off two fingers to show others?

Old Li used to think that for a soldier, it’s enough for him to be able to fight. Is there anything more impressive than being able to fight?

Now I feel that being able to only fight wars is the most useless thing.

But you, Old Kong, are different. You can fight, take prisoners, and even establish bases behind enemy lines, resettle the people, and expand your troops.

Now think about it, if this independent regiment is really handed over to me, Li Yunlong, I don’t know what I will lead it to be like! ”

After hearing this, Kong Jie said happily: "Old Li, why are you saying this? This is not your character.

I just thought about it in a more complicated way.

In fact, we are soldiers. If we don’t fight wars and defend our country, what else can we do?

As for the base area, once the local government members are all confirmed, the local government will help manage it. Why should I worry about it?"

"Let's talk about the business at hand!"

Kong Jie changed the subject and pointed out immediately: "After the battle of Huangyun Town started, the Japanese field armies in major counties around Shouyang all surrounded Huangyun Town.

Later, our troops from various bases in southeastern Shanxi launched raids on the enemy's transportation lines.

The Japanese could not take care of our independent regiment for the time being, and most of the troops originally drawn from various counties retreated back.

However, a Japanese field battalion still arrived to reinforce Shouyang.

According to the intelligence we have gathered, it is the 4th Infantry Battalion of the so-called Namwon Battalion, which is affiliated to the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army.

During this period, we are reorganizing our troops and preparing supplies. Judging from the momentum, they are most likely coming for our independent regiment.

Whether we can completely stabilize our independent regiment's anti-Japanese revolutionary base behind enemy lines may depend on this battle!"
