"I won't go anymore. I believe that the Eighth Route Army will definitely not disappoint us!" Lao Zhang replied unexpectedly!

"I thought about it seriously last night. If the Eighth Route Army had not transferred us to the hinterland of the base, now we would not have been burned, but we might not have even been able to save our lives!"

"We heard when we were in the hinterland of the base area that the Japanese who entered the base area this time were completely different from the Japanese in the past. They were killed when they saw people. Even if there were not tens of thousands of people, there would definitely be seven or eight thousand people. Moreover, there were still several villages with the people who were massacred in the whole village. If we were not transferred by the Eighth Route Army, many people would definitely be massacred by the Japanese!"

"Also, this year's severe drought has led to a reduction in grain production."

"The grain collected from the land can only be eaten for half a year. Even if there is no Japanese attack, even if we don't have the grain in our hands, we can only eat it for eight or nine months! At that time, without the grain, all of us will starve to death, and even if we have a house, it will be useless!"

"Although the house is burned now, the Eighth Route Army was responsible for our food and drink throughout the transfer period, and also asked us to do things and give us food as compensation!"

"The food saved during the transfer period, coupled with our work income, save some food, and maybe we can persevere until the autumn harvest!"

"And I also believe in the Eighth Route Army. They will definitely keep their promises and will not ignore us!"

Just as everyone was thinking about these words, an Eighth Route Army company commander came over!

"This fellow villager said it well!"

Old Zhang, who had just spoken, recognized it at a glance. The company commander was the one who arrested him last night.

The company commander walked up to everyone and replied with great certainty: "Our Eighth Route Army keeps their word and will never ignore everyone. Let everyone live in the shack in the cold winter!"

"According to the order of the superiors, the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion of the New First Regiment is responsible for restoring all burnt houses in Huangjia Village. Before the house repair is completed, each person will compensate one kilogram of food every day regardless of the elderly, weak, women and children!"

"However, because our new batch of grain reserves are also very effective, we need everyone's help when restoring the house!

"We will definitely help!" Lao Zhang, who had just spoken, immediately interjected.

"You Eighth Route Army saved our lives and gave us food. Now we are building houses for us. We are even more close than our own relatives. We need to help whatever we say!"

There is no doubt that Lao Zhang's words today were handed over to him last night, with the purpose of ease the bad impression of the Eighth Route Army because of their clamor in the past few days, and then help the Eighth Route Army win back the hearts of the people!

This method was successful. As soon as Lao Zhang finished speaking, he aroused the blockbusters of the people around him.

Because I have food in my hands, the base area recovers very quickly.

In less than ten days, more than 30% of the damaged houses were restored.

The wounded people placed in various field hospitals have also begun to be discharged one after another.

Because the military and civilian casualties were too great, the grief that enveloped the entire base area was also slowly dissipated after the Xinyi Regiment compensated the families of the soldiers and civilians who died in battle.

The entire base area directly presents a prosperous scene.

Scattered in recruiting places in various counties, the scene of ordinary people actively signing up for the Eighth Route Army again appeared.

"Captain, all the vacancies of the main forces have been filled, and they are veterans drawn from local garrison troops and guerrillas!" Zhong Chenggong, the chief of staff who rushed into the war room, reported when he saw Wang Ping, with a smile on his face from beginning to end!

"Also, so far yesterday, the recruitment offices in various places in the base area have recruited 3,568 qualified recruits. I plan to assign them all to the garrison troops!"

"The last are three garrison battalions that performed well in the anti-sweeping campaign. They are ready to expand into the main force according to the order. This requires the regiment commander to give them a organization..."

Wang Ping replied without thinking: "Give them the main sixth battalion, the newly formed sixth battalion, and the independent sixth battalion!"

"After the formation of the three battalions is completed, they will be stationed directly near the regiment headquarters and serve as the regiment headquarters' mobile unit!"

"This time, if the regiment headquarters had one or two battalions of mobile troops, even if the Japanese broke into our hinterland, we would not be so passive, with so many casualties and so many military and civilians, and so much loss!"

"Skills must be learned. No matter at any time, the regiment headquarters must have a certain number of mobile troops!"

"I agree!" Zhong Chenggong answered immediately.

Less than five minutes after leaving, the Security Department Wei Yong followed him and came over.

"Captain, I have two situations here... After this period of hard work, the security department's counter-espionage performance has been good. 128 spies and traitors who were placed in our base area were arrested. The two highest-level people were the company commander of the main force and the deputy county magistrate of the base area!"

"There are more than 100 people with definite evidence, and there are more than 200 suspects. Because there is no evidence, we did not take action, we just monitor!"

"There is another situation related to the Japanese army in Linfen City!"

"According to the report of our intelligence personnel entering Linfen City, the Japanese division commander has been replaced!"

"The former division commander Lieutenant General Ito committed suicide by separatism in his office! The new division commander is also a lieutenant general, and his name has taught Fujino a lesson. Although he has not really fought, I have already obtained some orders from Lieutenant General Fujino after he arrived in Linfen, and they are all in this information!"

"I saw it, I feel that this Fujino is much cunning than his old opponent Lieutenant General Ito!"

"Uh~" Wang Ping suddenly became interested.

After taking the information, I started browsing. After reading it once, my eyebrows were twisted into a big Sichuan character.

Then he sat on the chair and fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, he turned his attention to the information again, and then spoke: "This Lieutenant General Fujino is indeed cunning than Ito!"

"Ito encircled us and used the Japanese when he came up. As for the puppet army, he didn't believe it!"

"However, Fujino obviously attaches great importance to the puppet army. The first thing he did after taking office was to expand and form the puppet army!"

"Also, his eyes are also very vicious. Just like Lieutenant General Ito who has already seduced the stomach, he can see the disadvantages of our new group at a glance, and he will start to act directly against our disadvantages!"

"Ten thousand houses in the base area were destroyed, and the people were clamored by some people, asking us Eighth Route Army to compensate them for food. At that time, we guessed that there was a shadow of the Japanese inside, but we didn't expect that it was Fujino who came up with it!"

"After we consumed the food that was not much in our hands, we would have no food to support the troops."

"Then I had to learn from other Eighth Route Army units, and to reduce the logistics pressure, I would simplify my own government and weaken my own strength..."

Speaking of this, Wang Ping changed his speech and continued: "However, this Fujino obviously underestimated the strength of our new group!"

"This time, I want to let all his calculations go away!"
