The Eighth Route Army not only did not consign food to everyone, but also helped everyone kill Li Zengbing and distributed food to everyone.

This alone makes everyone affirm that the Eighth Route Army is a benevolent and righteous army different from other troops. After hearing that their predecessor was the Red Army that the Central Army had encircled and suppressed, the people who knew many stories about the Red Army directly developed a favorable impression of the Eighth Route Army in front of them.

Under such circumstances, the Eighth Route Army proposed to recruit soldiers here, and many people were moved.

In this chaotic era, instead of leaving young and strong men at home and waiting to be captured by the Japanese and other so-called anti-Japanese troops, it is better to join the benevolent and righteous Eighth Route Army.

Not to mention anything else, following the Eighth Route Army, your relatives will at least not be treated as cannon fodder and died on the battlefield in vain.

Besides, if someone in the family joins the Eighth Route Army, it will not only save one person’s rations, but the Eighth Route Army will also give 100 kilograms of white flour and three pieces of ocean to settle down. If you save some money, it will be enough for the family to stay hungry for a year. This is a chaotic world where wars are everywhere, and it is the result that everyone desires.

At this time, some people were concerned about whether their relatives would be retaliated against by the Japanese after joining the Eighth Route Army.

What they didn't expect was that Yang Xiong had thought of their worries long ago.

With the threat, and the seven or eight corpses still bleeding from the rostrum, everyone here believed that even if the Japanese occupied the place again, no one would betray everyone with the Eighth Route Army on their backs.

At this moment, a burst of excitement suddenly rang next to the rostrum.

"The grain is coming, and the Eighth Route Army has begun to share the food..."

More than a dozen large trucks filled with grain were pulled by the Eighth Route Army on mules and horses to the rostrum, and then several Eighth Route Army commanded the people next to them to line up to prepare to distribute the grain.

Soon, the first people received two bags of grain, one bag of coarse grain, and one bag of flour. The four people in the family carried the grain and were very happy to walk home, expressing their gratitude to the Eighth Route Army as they walked.

"The Eighth Route Army has really distributed food to everyone, and it is indeed a benevolent and righteous army!" Everyone began to sigh at the Eighth Route Army's kindness and keeping promises, and then lined up to receive food under the command of the Eighth Route Army.

It took two hours for nearly 300 households to receive all the food. Except for more than 20 households whose families died tragically at the hands of the Li family, the people received 150 kilograms of white flour and 50 kilograms of coarse grains, the others received all the food.

The public trial meeting ended and the distribution of food was also over. I thought that the people gathered at the entrance of the town would disperse. But what Yang Xiong and Kang Sheng did not expect was that after they sent the food back, they gathered around the rostrum.

Yang Xiong, who was unknown, found out after asking that they all sent their families to join the Eighth Route Army.

"Lao Kang, grain, please send food to you immediately and bring the ocean here!" Yang Xiong ordered with an excited look on his face.

In less than half an hour, the grain and the ocean were sent over.

After a family sent the boss to Yang Xiong and participated in the Eighth Route Army, the family members who received three pieces of ocean and one hundred kilograms of white flour from Kang Sheng, the people around the rostrum were in a state of excitement again.

These people have seen the scenes of the Japanese and other anti-Japanese troops catching strong men.

Often, they catch people as soon as they meet. Those with better luck will throw away one or two oceans, and those with worse luck will not leave anything behind.

This is not all. Any young and strong man who were captured by them would lose contact as soon as they left the village. As expected, these young and strong man would definitely be sent to the battlefield by the officers as cannon fodder, and after they died, they could not even find a body.

Compared with those people, the current behavior of the Eighth Route Army undoubtedly once again shows everyone what is a true teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

My family, who was still watching a show just now, was a little hesitant and decided to send their relatives to the Eighth Route Army on the spot.

For ordinary people who are unarmed, keeping them at home in troubled times may not necessarily save their lives. Instead of being captured by the Japanese and other troops one day, it is better to join the Eighth Route Army now.

It was not until dark that the people gathered at the entrance of the town dispersed.

Although Kang Sheng had lost more than 10,000 kilograms of white flour, there were 163 new recruits behind Yang Xiong. In Ligong Town, almost every two families chose to join the Eighth Route Army.

"Lao Kang, this is so exciting. We have recruited a company of new recruits in just two days, which is simply shocking!" Yang Xiong said since he was shocked and excited.

Kang Sheng obviously looked deeper and said helplessly: "This is also the helplessness of the people. As long as there is a little chance, they will not give the young and strong family to us for a hundred kilograms of white flour and three pieces of ocean!"

"This is all caused by the Japanese. Lao Kang, I won't say much nonsense. I mean, you bring a squad and send all the recruits and our seizures back to the base. In addition, I left me 20,000 kilograms of white flour and 600 yuan. I guess that the nearby villages should be able to recruit a lot of recruits. I plan to go to the surrounding villages to see!"

I originally thought that Yang Xiong, the former puppet army, did not understand political work, but I didn’t expect that when recruiting soldiers, when talking about the various policies of the Eighth Route Army, they were all more sophisticated than myself.

So, when Yang Xiong decided to stay, Kang Sheng agreed without any hesitation or concern.

And he had already done his job to recommend Yang Xiong to join the party to the battalion department.

In Kang Sheng's view, with Yang Xiong's current qualifications and skills, there is no problem with joining the party.

Yang Xiong didn't know Kang Sheng's idea. At this time, he was looking forward to a better reward for recruiting soldiers tomorrow.

It really goes with the saying that in troubled times, the least valuable thing is human life.

When I learned that it was the Eighth Route Army recruiting soldiers, and that it would have 100 kilograms of white flour and three pieces of ocean settlement fee to participate in the Eighth Route Army, several surrounding villages were in full swing.

At this time, even the people in towns like Li Gong Town were hungry, let alone the poorer villages around.

Therefore, Yang Xiong raised a sign of recruitment, and the young and strong men who wanted to participate in the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese were lined up in a long line.

In just two days, all 20,000 kilograms of white flour were gone. Yang Xiong also got two hundred strong guys, and then he hurried to the station with them!

Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng Quan had nearly 600 new recruits in his hands, half of which were captured Imperial Army. As long as he passed the running-in training, he could replenish his main force at any time.

When the three main companies returned from Laiyuan City, they brought back more than 600 prisoners to Cheng Xiao. After mobilization, Zeng Quan had more than 500 new recruits.

If all these people are supplemented to the main force, the total strength of the independent battalion can exceed 1,500 people at once, which can be said to be a strong force.

Both Cheng Xiao and Zeng Quan were very satisfied with the current expansion and development of the Independent Battalion. At this moment, six combat platoons who went out to recruit soldiers returned. Each platoon brought a large amount of supplies, and a large number of new recruits who almost collapsed the two people.
