Chapter 25 Public Trial Conference and Recruitment
Chapter 25 Public Trial Meeting and Recruitment
Within a few days, the New Second Regiment attacked everywhere. The bandits and bandits led by Yamawangshan and Daheishan ranged from dozens of people to as many as seven or eight hundred people in Daheishan.
However, they all fell apart under the offensive of the New Second Regiment's artillery and machine guns. Except for a few of the dozen or so waves of bandits, they escaped early, and the rest were captured en masse.
Each unit of the New Second Regiment experienced a series of battles and grew rapidly.
The amount of materials seized was so much that even Ding's abacus could not count it, and a baggage company of dozens of people simply couldn't handle the task of transporting the materials.
Fortunately, Zhou Weihan promptly ordered to recruit local people to help transport money, grain and materials. Each person received 20 kilograms of stick noodles and carried 30 kilograms of transport vehicles. Thousands of people were successively recruited on various hills to transport money, grain and materials.
Originally, Zhou Weihan wanted to conduct a public trial after all the bandits were eliminated.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. First, there were too many bandits who needed to be put on public trial after trial. There were more than 200 people in Daheishan alone. Second, the bandits caused harm to the countryside and caused serious harm to the people.
There was an example where he was beaten to death by local people, which almost triggered a civil uprising.
Therefore, Zhou Weihan decided to hold a public trial on the spot. More than 4,000 people from the surrounding areas of the Yamawang Mountain public trial alone came.
"Folks, don't get excited," Li Ziwen, a political cadre of the New Second Regiment at the foot of Yanwang Mountain, shouted loudly from a high place: "Now, I would like to ask Comrade Zhou Weihan, the leader of the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army's Ninth Column, to say a few words. Everyone applauds and welcomes
."
When the people who were deeply poisoned by Yan Batian heard that the Eighth Route Army was going to make the decision for themselves, the people immediately burst into fierce applause from the bottom of their hearts.
"Fellow fellows! I, Zhou Weihan, am a straight-tempered person. I will not write down the truth. Kill people to pay debts and pay back money. These are the words left by our ancestors. Today we will avenge those who have grievances and hold those who have grievances. We will not let anyone go.
Pass, we will be shot on the spot." Zhou Weihan said loudly while looking at the expectant people below.
Zhou Weihan understood that it was useless for you to talk a lot of big principles to the people. Instead, it was better to be straightforward and do something practical.
When the people at the foot of the mountain heard what Zhou Weihan said, they immediately became excited and wanted to go up and kill these bandits.
When Zhou Weihan saw this situation, he quickly stopped him and said, "Folks, don't get excited. Comrade Li Ziwen will be presiding over the public trial next."
Li Ziwen was one of the three political cadres sent by the headquarters. Originally, everyone in the New Second Regiment wanted Zhou Weihan to preside over the public trial.
Zhou Weihan refused without thinking. If you let Zhou Weihan face thousands of little devils, Zhou Weihan would definitely not show any fear.
But facing thousands of ordinary people, Zhou Weihan's scalp went numb just thinking about it, and he couldn't beat him again and again, or scold him again and again.
The three political cadres Li Ziwen were of great use, and Li Ziwen presided over the Yamawang Mountain Public Trial Conference.
"I am the regiment leader, a military officer, not a political commissar. Aren't you a political cadre? This is your old profession, and this is the task assigned to you by the organization. You must do your job well for the folks, and don't let good things go to you.
It turned into a bad thing." Zhou Weihan patted Li Ziwen on the shoulder and said.
Don't mention it, Zhou Weihan's lazy words are quite good. When there is nothing wrong, the leader and political commissar shoulder the responsibility. When there is something wrong, I am not the political commissar.
"Folks, I will preside over the public trial next," Li Ziwen said in a loud voice, holding an iron trumpet in his hand.
The voice spread far away, and Li Ziwen's energetic voice could be heard at the foot of the mountain: "Fellow fellows, these people kneeling above are bandits from Yamawang Mountain. They usually cause trouble, robbing homes and selling opium, but now they are
You must take refuge with the little devil and become a traitor."
"These people are carrying a lot of blood debt. I believe that many people here have been harmed by them. I won't say more nonsense to avoid waiting impatiently. Now I will pronounce the fate of these traitors."
This time after Li Ziwen finished speaking, the people did not say anything, but looked at the high platform expectantly to see what would happen to these bandits.
Li Ziwen read aloud in front of all the people: "Yan Batian, the head of the Yama Mountain, has gathered people to cause chaos, took human lives, oppressed the people, raped women, and sold opium for twenty years. Now he has turned to the little devil and became a traitor. He is on the spot."
Shot."
Li Ziwen read out Yan Batian's crimes one by one, and Yan Batian's whole body trembled every time he read one.
The common people below, who had suffered greatly from the bandits, looked at Ding Desheng with even more fierce eyes, wishing they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Yan Batian was not the only one on the high platform, there were more than 100 Yan Batian's accomplices and lackeys, kneeling on it in rows.
After Li Ziwen read out the bandits' crimes one by one, he loudly said to everyone: "I announce that they will be executed immediately."
"good!"
"Papa...!" The ones who executed the execution were soldiers from the recruit brigade of the New Second Regiment. Zhou Weihan followed the principle of recycling waste and let the recruits practice their courage.
"Long live the Eighth Route Army!"
After Li Ziwen announced the verdict of being a traitor, the people below instantly burst into deafening applause and roars.
If there were ordinary people just now who were afraid of the majesty of the Eighth Route Army and were pretending, then now they are full of gratitude and sincere.
"These stupid bandits are finally dead."
"Daughter, have you seen the spirit in heaven? Someone has made the decision for you."
"My father, you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs. The bandit who killed you was beaten to death in front of us people today."
"Folks, our Eighth Route Army is the people's armed force. We will never let anyone dare to bully the people." Li Ziwen continued.
"Our area belongs to a mountainous area. Sooner or later, the little devils will come to our doorstep. Everyone has the responsibility to defend the land." Li Ziwen continued to talk about the truth.
Zhou Weihan couldn't stand it anymore and took the iron horn from Li Ziwen's hand.
"Folks, the little devil has already stretched out his dog's claws. Yan Batian is the best example. The little devil will not reason with you. He is worse than an animal."
"Burn them all, rob them all, kill them all."
"People are calling me right at the door of my house, what should I do? I'm sorry, it's such a stupid thing."
"Some people say, what should I do if I can't beat him? If I can't beat him, I still have to beat him. He has a scar as big as a bowl on his head. His mother's shoulders carry his head. Why is he so arrogant?"
"Haha, we are stupid and want to scold my mother whenever I get anxious." Zhou Weihan, a graduate of Yan University, said in a fake tone.
"We can't guarantee anything else. When the Japs come, every one of our new second regiment will definitely fight the Japs to the end."
"As long as we unite as one, we will deal with the little devil sooner or later."
"Everyone who joins our Eighth Route Army will receive thirty kilograms of fine grain and fifty kilograms of coarse grain." Zhou Weihan finally got to the point.
"Sir, I am willing to join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese."
"I would like it too."
The scene at Yamawang Mountain is just one of them. Several trial meetings were held one after another. The people's willingness to join the army increased, and the New Second Regiment won the hearts of the people.
