Chapter 23: Prisoners of War Regained Life
Not long after Wang Chun returned to Xiulin Town, the order to expand the staff came down.
The Model 1st Division will be built according to the standards of the Class A division of the North China Security Army.
At the same time, a large number of students from the occupied areas will be sent to this division. The Japanese are willing to take the risk in order to set an example.
All the troops that were fighting poorly were disbanded and disorganized, and nearly 3000 soldiers were selected from them and sent to Wang Chun.
These soldiers are the same as most of the soldiers of the Third Regiment when they first came here.
They just eat and wait for death all day long. Don't expect them to train well. Look at these guys who can't even stand or sit properly.
Wang Chun and the other officers of the Third Regiment shook their heads after seeing these things being added in. Without a year or half a year of training, there would be almost no combat effectiveness to speak of.
It is possible that these guys will lead the new recruits of the Third Regiment, who have just gotten on the right track, astray.
Wang Chun did not want these disbanded Imperial Army troops. His target was several war criminal camps located in Shimen (the capital of Hebei Province in later generations).
The people there were soldiers who were captured by the Japanese army in the battles in previous years, most of whom were from the former Northeast Army and Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Now Yan Laoxi and the Japanese were flirting with each other (of course no agreement was reached in the end), and many Shanxi Suiyuan Army prisoners of war had begun to return to the areas controlled by the Shanxi Suiyuan Army in batches.
It can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to Yan Laoxi, and it is also an intentional or unintentional disclosure of the secret cooperation between the two parties to the outside world.
Appropriate exposure forced the hesitant Yan Laoxi to make a decision as soon as possible.
The Japanese army is now at the height of its power, although it has become quiet on the battlefield in Zhonghua.
In Southeast Asia and in the vast Pacific battlefield, the Japanese army was indeed making rapid progress, invincible and victorious in every battle!
The Western forces led by Britain and the United States were beaten and fled in panic. Large numbers of soldiers laid down their weapons and chose to enter the Japanese prisoner-of-war camps.
Now with the intensified activities of the Wang Puppet Government, although the United States has also joined the war, how many people in the Flower-Growing Family understand the significance of the United States joining the war for this war?
They only saw the Japanese propaganda and how the Japanese beat the arrogant Westerners in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean.
Those Westerners who had been showing off their power in the Flower-Growing Concession were dragged out by the Japanese like dead dogs.
These Westerners were sent to the prisoner-of-war camps just like the flower-growing people. They worked with them and ate the same food that even dogs wouldn't even look at.
This caused many of the flower-growing family members who had originally persisted to begin to waver, as those Westerners were no match for the Japanese devils.
Is there still hope for us flower growers if we persist?
During this period, many people with weak positions and wills gradually began to side with the Japanese and joined the Wang Puppet Government.
A large number of soldiers who were still fighting in the prisoner-of-war camps began to waver. Of course, more people, seeing no hope, planned to die for their country.
At this moment, people came to the prisoner-of-war camp and changed their fate.
In the current prisoner-of-war camps, except for a few Japanese devils who serve as the main managers, the rest are under the charge of the Imperial Army.
When Wang Chun got the order from the Japanese First Army Headquarters, he took away all the nearly 4500 prisoners of war below the rank of company commander.
As for the captured middle and senior officers, they were all detained in special places, and the Japanese would not release them easily.
The Japanese didn't pay much attention to ordinary soldiers and low-level company and platoon officers. After all, there were too many such people in the prisoner-of-war camps.
Today, the Imperial Army's Model 1st Division has a new base in Yangquan County.
Yangquan is also a mining area, but the control of the mining area is firmly in the hands of the Japanese.
Although the Model First Division was highly valued by the Japanese, they did not completely trust them.
Therefore, some important areas were still guarded by the Japanese troops themselves, and a large group of Japanese troops were also stationed in the county town.
This forced Wang Chun to act more cautiously, as the area surrounding Yangquan had actually been completely invaded by the Eighth Route Army.
As long as you are a dozen miles out of the city, it is basically the Eighth Route Army guerrillas' world. The Japanese are too lazy to go out now, they just want to stay in the county town.
The suppression of bandits outside the city was generally the responsibility of the Imperial Army. After the Model 1st Division arrived here, the equipment and supplies allocated to them by the Japanese army had already been piled up in the warehouse in Yangquan County.
With the First Army Command's call, no one cared about the things stored in the city.
Qi Xieyuan, Chief of Public Security and Commander of the North China Security Army, saw that the little man who had once defected to him actually shined in this mopping-up operation.
He felt that he had a keen eye and discovered this talented general of the North China Security Army. Moreover, this Li Dalong, like Zhou Paopi, had long been branded by his Qi Xieyuan faction.
Seeing that his younger brother has made great progress, he naturally feels proud and takes good care of his younger brother.
According to general regulations, of all the supplies and weapons, only 80% at most will reach the hands of the combat troops. This is an unwritten rule that everyone tacitly accepts.
But this did not happen to the Model 1st Division. Instead, more funds were allocated than requested from above. It was also seen that the big traitor Qi Xieyuan felt that Wang Chun's division was his own direct force.
When encountering such a good thing, how could Wang Chun and the Imitation Master 1 object? After all, it is better to benefit themselves than to let others benefit.
Although they may not be interested in these equipment, the excellent weapons they exchanged now (only equipped to those old subordinates whom they trust)
These troops have been stationed and training in areas frequented by the Eighth Route Army under the pretext of clearing out the surrounding Eighth Route Army bases.
The Japanese army felt very surprised, and then very surprised.
Wherever the troops of these model divisions are stationed, the activities of the Eighth Route Army there will be greatly reduced.
Those guerrillas did think about attacking more troops of the Model Division, but they were eventually repelled.
After this happened several times, the Eighth Route Army no longer launched attacks on the soldiers of the Model Division stationed in their base.
This made the Japanese First Army and even the entire North China Political Affairs Committee take notice of this model First Division.
Qi Xieyuan even announced loudly on many occasions that the powerful combat capability of the Model Division was absolutely incomparable to those of the Eighth Route Army and the miscellaneous security forces.
They are a powerful army that was personally selected and trained under his supervision, and their division commander, Li Dalong, is his trusted general.
Anyway, now the whole North China knows that Li Dalong (Wang Chun) represents the trusted subordinates of the top military figure in the North China puppet government.
When a large number of prisoners of war came out of the prisoner-of-war camps, they thought they would be taken to some mountain valley to do hard labor or work in miners.
Many of the previous prisoners of war had suffered the same fate. They had been in the prisoner-of-war camps for the past two years and their bodies had already been severely overdrawn.
They had originally prepared themselves for death, but when they really arrived at the garrison, some Northeast Army soldiers, in particular, actually saw their former comrades there.
This was not what surprised them the most. These prisoners of war were specially selected and sent to a training ground in a remote area (near the Eighth Route Army base).
I actually saw some Eighth Route Army soldiers here!
What is going on? Who are they?
In this remote place, a strange scene of the Eighth Route Army and the Imperial Army living in harmony appeared.
However, there were not many personnel from the Eighth Route Army, and most of them came here to provide ideological and political education to these prisoners of war who were carefully selected to join the model division.
These Northeast Army soldiers who had suffered greatly in the prisoner-of-war camps found that what greeted them here was not guns and butcher knives.
Instead, it was the care from comrades, the clean barracks, the adequate supplies, and the many doctors in white coats walking around the barracks, helping each comrade who needed treatment, checking their physical condition, and formulating appropriate treatments.
