Major General Matsumoto was a very decisive person. Since he had made a judgment, he did not hesitate and started to issue orders directly.

"Telephone to the Special Forces Brigade: The Second Squadron stayed in Linfen North, cooperated with the Fourth Infantry Brigade to continue to annihilate the Eighth Route Army in Linfen North... The Third Squadron went to Linfen South and eliminated the Eighth Route Army special forces active in the Imperial Army controlled area... The First Squadron returned to Linfen City for supplement and training!"

Xiao Yunshan and Li Wen did not know about Matsumoto's order.

But there was one thing they felt: the Japanese army operating in Linfen North was not as arrogant as before.

The reconnaissance team, even the squad-scale field infantry, dared not come out casually.

The Second Camp, who had been struggling for more than ten days, can finally stop and have a good rest.

At the command center of the Tianjiazhuang New First Regiment, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong looked very good since he entered the command center.

"The regiment commander, the first battalion and the third battalion were both good. In a few days, both battalions destroyed many remnants of the Japanese and puppet army. Everyone knew that our new regiment was back!"

"However, even though I know, there are not many people who really stand up to support us. Many people are waiting and watching, and there are even many people who are hostile to us!"

Wang Ping's brow frowned suddenly: "The people are our roots. Without the support of the people, we cannot stand firm here. Even if we stand firm now, as long as the Japanese soldiers come here, they will still be driven into the mountains!"

"If you don't say anything else, without the support of the people, we don't even have the minimum food and soldiers to expand!"

"Do you know the specific reason?"

"There are two main reasons!" Zhong Chenggong replied with a frown.

"One is that the Japanese and puppet troops retaliated against everyone last time. It turns out that as long as the people who are related to our new regiment will be stolen by the Japanese and puppet troops, their families will be destroyed and their families will be destroyed. The more serious Japanese and puppet troops will directly arrest people and do their labor. If they are more serious, the Japanese and puppet troops will directly kill people!"

"The people are scared, afraid that once we leave in the future, we will be liquidated by the Japanese and puppet troops again!"

Wang Ping's face showed a helpless expression.

"We cannot solve this problem for the time being, so we can only use time to prove that our new regiment is capable of defending the base, blocking the Japanese and puppet troops' possible encirclement and suppressing our heavy troops, and protecting everyone!"

“What about another reason?”

"Food!" Zhong Chenggong answered without thinking.

"The autumn harvest is coming soon, and ordinary people's families are no longer able to get rid of their own. I just hope that the autumn harvest can collect some food!"

"They are worried that our Eighth Route Army will distribute food to them like other troops!"

Wang Ping's frown finally stretched.

He hesitated for a moment and answered: "This problem is easy to solve!"

"The public grain must be distributed, otherwise how our Eighth Route Army eats to fight the Japanese. However, we must strictly follow the policies of our Eighth Route Army. You should be clear about this. Since the people have concerns about this, we will dispel their concerns. Chief of Staff, you organize personnel and write our public grain policy in black and white, and post it to every village, so that all the people know our policies."

"Also, start the land distribution plan as soon as possible."

"When the troops wiped out the remnants of the Japanese and puppet army, each village should have seized a lot of land. Take out all these fertile fields and distribute them to everyone first, mobilize everyone's enthusiasm to fight the Japanese and protect the grain and land. But one thing to note is that these fertile fields are now planted with grain, and the grain cannot be given to them together. According to the agreement between the tenants and the original owner of the land, as much as they should be given to them, and we will save all the remaining grain. Maybe one day, these grains will become life-saving food for our base!"

Zhong Chenggong's eyes lit up, and he wanted to make arrangements now, and he was anxious to answer: "I'll make arrangements now!"

"Wait a minute!" Wang Ping suddenly thought of something, and then stopped Zhong Chenggong, who was anxious to leave.

"I thought about the first question you asked just now. In addition to using time to tell everyone that our New Group will not leave this time, and we have the ability to protect everyone, we also want to let everyone see the strength of our New Group and make everyone confident in us!"

"And what makes the people see most intuitively that our strength is equipment!"

"We seized a lot of heavy equipment by completely annihilated the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army, especially the battle of the third Japanese army. We took a lot of heavy equipment. Putting the weapons in the warehouse and rusted was not the style of our Eighth Route Army, so I decided to further strengthen the firepower of our new regiment!"

"The heavy machine gun company directly under the original battalion department has been expanded into a firepower company, with one mortar platoon and three mortars and two heavy machine guns platoons six heavy machine guns!"

"The firepower of the infantry company must also be strengthened, and the light machine guns will be increased to four, ensuring that each platoon has a light machine gun and a light machine gun in the company's guard squad."

"The organization of the small cannon squad remains unchanged, and three grenade launchers were equipped to seize the Japanese. However, everyone in the small cannon squad must be equipped with self-defense rifles!"

"The artillery company directly under the regiment headquarters has been expanded into a fire battalion. Chen Dong is the battalion commander and has a mountain artillery company, four mountain artillery companies. An infantry artillery company, three infantry cannons, and a mortar company. All the remaining mortars in the regiment headquarters are given to him!"

In the village where the First Battalion of Fengyun Town is located, early in the morning, a deafening bell sounded at the entrance of the village.

This is a maintenance meeting. As soon as the bell rings, all the young and old in the village must rush to the threshing ground at the entrance of the village for a meeting.

After the maintenance meeting was eliminated by the first battalion, the rules for summoning the people to meet through the bells did not change.

In less than half an hour, all three or four hundred people in the village gathered on the threshing ground!

Yesterday, there was still a threshing farm with nothing. I don’t know when, a platform more than one meter high appeared in front of everyone. Standing on it, you can clearly see everyone in the village!

The instructors of the first battalion who organized the conference stood on the rostrum and shouted at the top of their voice.

"My fellow villagers, there are two things to gather everyone here in a hurry."

"First, let everyone know that our own team, the Eighth Route Army, is back again. And this time we will not leave in the future. Now, please invite the Eighth Route Army soldiers to the venue!"

The first one that appeared in front of everyone was the battalion and company.

However, the common people gathered in front of the rostrum, watching the troops pass by themselves, their faces did not change much.

They have seen such troops too many times, so it is impossible to attract their attention.

But at this moment, the newly established firepower company of the first battalion appeared!

The heavy machine guns carrying three heavy machine guns were walking in the front one row, the gun platoon carrying the mortar barrel followed closely behind, and then the heavy machine gun platoon carrying three heavy machine guns were carrying the second row.

This time, the people's numb and calm faces finally showed movement.

Many people showed shock expressions on their faces.

A few months ago, the Eighth Route Army was also stationed in the village, but at that time the Eighth Route Army did not even have a few light machine guns, which was similar to the previous company. Finally, under the encirclement of the Japanese, the soldiers were damaged and the generals were lost, leaving everyone behind and ran away.

The Eighth Route Army in front of us not only has light machine guns, but also so many heavy machine guns, and even artillery!

Thinking of the Eighth Route Army's victory in eliminating more than 2,000 Japanese devils in order to capture Tianxin Town and Fengyun Town some time ago, they all had the same idea in their minds. With such a well-equipped Eighth Route Army stationed in the village, maybe it can really protect everyone and block the Japanese attack!
