Chapter 77: Absorbing Prisoners
At the cost of nearly 40 casualties, the People's Army killed more than 400 enemies and captured more than 500 people, and dozens of others took the initiative to defect to the People's Army.
In the small city, the crying continued, the pillars of the family were gone, and the families of the dead Ming soldiers did not know how to live.
Hearing the crying, Hu Zhuang's heart became uncomfortable for a while and then became hard again, ordinary Ming soldiers and soldiers are innocent, but they are enemies of the People's Army, only their death can more people get rid of the oppression and exploitation of the government and landlords.
Lai Fei and dozens of other Ming soldiers took the initiative to join the People's Army, Hu Zhuang already knew that because of the battle, these people had not been arranged, but now that the battle was over, Hu Zhuang arranged for a company instructor of the cold weapon unit to deal with this matter.
The instructor of this company is called Cheng Hou, who is less than 20 years old, and is one of the graduates of the three-year education, and his ability to command battles is not good, but Cheng Hou's ability in political work is very good.
After receiving Hu Zhuang's order, Cheng Hou quickly came to the resting place of Lai Fei and dozens of other Ming soldiers, these Ming soldiers had no weapons on them, and there were guarding People's Army soldiers around, and the treatment was better than that of prisoners.
The captives were either bound with ropes or several captives were strung together by ropes, and they had to squat honestly on the ground at all times except when they were walking, and they were not allowed to speak loudly.
Lai Fei and dozens of other Ming soldiers have a larger range of activities, as long as they don't walk around casually, they can do whatever they want.
Seeing Cheng Hou in a grass-green military uniform coming over, Lai Fei immediately understood that it was the "big man" who came over, and he wanted to arrange for them to take refuge in the Ming soldiers, Lai Fei quickly got up and walked forward to say hello to Cheng Hou, and seeing Lai Fei's movements, the others also quickly stood up, wanting to leave a good impression on the leader of the "thief" who took refuge in him.
Cheng Hou did not have much prejudice in his heart about Lai Fei and dozens of other Ming soldiers who took refuge, and like the vast majority of People's Army soldiers, Cheng Hou hated the landlords, Ming Dynasty officials and magnates, not these Ming army low-level soldiers.
"Welcome to join the People's Army, my name is Cheng Hou, my position in the People's Army is a company instructor, and it is similar to the deputy hundred households in the Ming Army, before arranging your whereabouts, I will explain to you the 'People's Army'.
The People's Army was founded by the great leader Comrade Fang Nan, and when the People's Army was founded, it set the goal of overthrowing the landlords and the old wealth and overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, hoping to let the poor people of the whole world live a good life......"
Under Cheng Hou's careful explanation, Lai Fei and dozens of other Ming soldiers who took refuge knew that the People's Army was not a chaotic bandit, but an army that overthrew the Ming Dynasty in order to live a good life for the poor people in the world.
"Is this People's Army crazy, and it is delusional to overthrow the Ming Dynasty." Lai Fei said in his heart, a little disdainful in his heart, as a member of the Ming army, Lai Fei clearly knew how powerful the Ming Dynasty was, and did not think that the People's Army could overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
However, Lai Fei also has some good feelings for the People's Army, Lai Fei is a soldier of the Ming Army, and in fact, his living standard is a little better than that of the poor people.
The poor people are oppressed and exploited by the government and landlords, and these low-level Ming soldiers are also oppressed and exploited by the superior officers, and the fixed salary is reduced again and again, and Lai Fei's family is similar to Han Yinian to thousands of households as tenants to landlords.
Although they don't think that the People's Army can overthrow the Ming Dynasty, they killed thousands of personal guards, which is like a rebellion, and under the influence of Cheng Hou's words, there is no change in the idea of joining the People's Army.
After Cheng Hou introduced the People's Army, Cheng Hou had to arrange a place for Lai Fei and dozens of other people to go, and there were three places to go, namely the first camp, the ordinary cold weapon unit, and going home to be an ordinary person.
The discipline of the People's Army is much stricter than that of the Ming Army, and there may be Ming soldiers who take refuge and can't bear it, so there is a third place to go.
As for the first and second places, the first camp is the unit that rushes to the front in battle, and the chance of dying in battle is greater, but there is an additional reward for killing the enemy; Ordinary cold weapon units have a small chance of dying in battle, but there is no additional reward for killing enemies.
In a short period of time, except for the first time in the camp, the soldiers of other units of the People's Army will not be paid, but they will be allocated military fields according to their ranks, and there will be additional military fields for meritorious service, and soldiers who are killed in battle or injured and discharged from the army will not take away military fields.
And the most important point is that when Lai Fei and others join the various departments of the People's Army, they will be dispersed into various teams and teams, and will not gather together, which Cheng Hou will not explicitly say.
After Cheng Hou finished speaking, he gave Lai Fei and the others time to think, Lai Fei and the others gathered together to discuss a little, and finally made a decision, Lai Fei and the other five people decided to enter the first camp, and the others entered the ordinary cold weapon army, and there was no one who wanted to go home to farm.
Before Lai Fei and others went to the ministries to report, Cheng Hou gave Lai Fei and others half a day off, their families all live in this small city, the previous battle will definitely make their families worry badly, let them go home to report their safety first, rest at home for one night, and report to the ministries tomorrow morning.
There is no need to worry about Lai Fei and the others choosing to flee after returning home, the small city has been controlled by the People's Army, and it is difficult to fly.
Soon, after a night passed, having breakfast at home, Lai Fei and the others walked to the area where the unit they wanted to join was located, and Cheng Hou also had a new task here, together with other company instructors and battalion instructors, to carry out ideological education for more than 500 soldiers and soldiers captured by the People's Army, and try to let them join the People's Army.
The process of uniting the captured Ming soldiers and soldiers is actually similar to uniting the ordinary people, first introducing them to the People's Army, and then complaining about the sufferings of the Ming soldiers or ordinary people in their previous lives.
In the end, the source of suffering is attributed to the Ming Dynasty, if you want to live a good life, if you want to let the poor people live a good life all day long, the only way is to overthrow the rotten Ming Dynasty.
Lai Fei and others, who had already joined various departments of the People's Army, also accepted the task at this time to tell their former colleagues why they wanted to join the People's Army, and also told them about their life of being oppressed and exploited by the military commanders.
"Brothers, are you going to continue to be bullied by those bastards? Manly husband, anyway, I Lai Fei is unwilling, I Lai Fei joined the People's Army just to let my family live a good life. ”
Soon, a number of prisoners changed their minds and chose to join the KPA.
