The puppet army surrendered, and Zhang Dabiao took over Wanjia Town with a battalion of soldiers.

It's just that, considering that the first battalion will not stay in Wanjia Town for a long time, Kong Jie also ordered Zhang Dabiao to restrain the soldiers and not affect the lives of the residents of Wanjia Town.

Some soldiers brought out ammunition, firearms, and various supplies from the warehouse of the puppet army in Wanjia Town and tied them to the horses. Hundreds of war horses are enough for the soldiers to take away all the loot captured in Wanjia Town, and the bullets in the hands of the puppet army have also been collected, but the independent regiment is poor and afraid, and they don't want to leave any bullets for these puppet troops.

"Boss, boss, hello, I'm the battalion commander here, boss, if you have anything, our brothers will fully cooperate, and I hope your subordinates will be merciful, boss." When the puppet army battalion commander saw Kong Jie coming, he hurriedly said flatteringly.

The battalion commanders of the puppet army were a little worried, as a cavalry battalion under the Eighth Brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army, they thought they were much stronger than other puppet armies. On weekdays, many of them have bullied ordinary people, and now that the Eighth Route Army has arrived, he is still very worried that he will be killed by the Eighth Route Army. Facing the soldiers of the battalion guarding them with guns around them, the puppet battalion commander was full of worries.

"As long as you don't do anything bad, then you can rest assured that our Eighth Route Army will not touch you." Kong Jie glanced at the puppet battalion commander and said in a deep voice.

The puppet battalion commander's face was ugly, he was just worried about this matter, "Boss, there is something to discuss, how much do you say it will cost to buy my dog's life?" As long as I can survive, I am willing to give your army a certain amount of money as a ransom for my life! ”

"Keep your money for yourself." Kong Jie understood that this puppet army battalion commander must not have done anything good.

Kong Jie didn't have any good impression of such a puppet army, and looked at the other puppet soldiers who were captured, Kong Jie opened his mouth to persuade these puppet soldiers to join the team of the independent regiment and fight devils with the independent regiment. After all, these puppet soldiers have lost so many war horses, they will definitely be punished by the Japanese devils, and it is not necessarily a good thing to stay here and continue to be a puppet army.

But looking at the puppet army that did not fluctuate much, Kong Jie was a little helpless, these puppet armies were a little uninspired, they decided that the Eighth Route Army would not kill them. Many of them are glad in their hearts, because they have no chance to oppress the ordinary people on weekdays because of their relatively low positions, and now that they have not done such a thing, it means that they are safe.

Many of the officers of the puppet army had ugly faces, they wanted to survive, but they had no weapons in their hands, and they had no chance of escaping in the face of the soldiers of the battalion with guns around them. As for instigating the surrounding puppet army to rebel, it is naturally impossible, and the other puppet soldiers are not stupid, knowing that their lives are not in danger, they naturally will not be sent to death with these officers.

"Head Kong, can you say a few words?" Seeing that Kong Jie's persuasion had no effect, Liu Gen stepped forward and said.

Liu Gen didn't know if his persuasion would be effective, but he was willing to try, he didn't have anything to do, and he wouldn't waste much time if he tried.

"Good! Then you can give it a try. Kong Jie was a little surprised, but he still spoke.

Although Kong Jie didn't think that what Liu Gen said would make a difference, he was still willing to let Liu Gen try it. At present, the establishment of independent regiments is being reduced, and a large number of troops need to be replenished. The combat effectiveness of these Imperial Cooperative Army is very weak, that is due to the lack of training on weekdays, if these people can be absorbed into the independent regiment, then Kong Jie has a way to make these puppet troops not have any other thoughts.

"Comrades, the deputy head of our regiment who spoke to you just now, and now I would like to say a few words to you."

"Everyone is Chinese, there is no denying this, I know that many of you choose to become a puppet army, all because you can't eat enough, the Japanese devils are also very strong in combat, you choose to join the Japanese army and become the imperial allied army to assist them in fighting!" But now is not the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, in the past few years, has everyone not seen that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese devils is not so strong? Don't talk about the far, let's just talk about the near, the devils encircled and suppressed the base area of our Eighth Route Army, which did not play any role, but many devils died under the guns of our Eighth Route Army! ”

“……”

In the face of these puppet armies, Liu Genxiao reasoned and moved with emotion, mainly because the combat effectiveness of the Japanese devils was not so strong, and the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was also getting stronger. The most important thing is that if they don't join the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely be punished to a certain extent when the devils come. In addition, after Liu Gen made a guarantee that after these people joined the independent regiment, they would be able to eat enough every day and have a certain allowance every month, many people were tempted and chose to join the independent regiment.

Soon, most of the puppet army made a decision, and they chose to join the independent regiment. The remaining puppet soldiers who have not made a decision, most of them are officers in the puppet army, and they do not do less evil on weekdays, knowing that they will not end well. As for the rest of the puppet army, they want to leave, want to find a place to hide, and no longer participate in any battles.

Liu Gen and others did not choose to interfere in the decisions made by these puppet troops, and after most of the puppet soldiers made a decision to join the independent regiment, someone else was responsible for this matter.

"Genzi, I have you, I didn't expect you kid to take down these puppet troops in two or three sentences." Kong Jie looked at Liu Gen and said with appreciation.

Liu Gen hurriedly shook his head, not daring to accept Kong Jie's praise, "Commander Kong, these people chose to join our independent regiment, and they also saw that our Eighth Route Army could win the battle and dare to fight with devils!" What's more, our victory against encirclement and suppression some time ago also played a significant role. The devils have become weaker, these puppet armies are not fools, and naturally they know how to choose. ”

"You're right, a lot of people know that, but only you kid said it. When I go back, I will tell Lao Li about your performance and ask him to take credit for you. Kong Jie patted Liu Gen's shoulder and said with a smile.

The puppet army that chose to join the independent regiment was less than 200 people, and the number of cavalry battalions of the puppet army was not large, less than 300 cavalry battalions, which was the reason why Li Yunlong was confident that he could easily take down this cavalry battalion. These puppet troops are brought back, and as long as they are trained enough, they will inevitably be able to quickly form combat effectiveness. It's just that so many puppet soldiers joining the independent regiment will also have a little impact, but these things will be left to Li Yunlong, the head of the regiment, for a headache.

At six or seven o'clock in the morning, Kong Jie left Wanjia Town with Liu Gen and others, and the soldiers of the first battalion plus the puppet army who were preparing to join the independent regiment had nearly five hundred people. Combined with the horses on board, the size of the team seems to be a bit large. Unlike when he came, when he returned, Kong Jie sent a lot of soldiers to reconnoiter and avoid any attacks.

More than 300 horses are still quite valuable, and I'm afraid there will be many people who will have ideas.
