Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Chu Yunfei nodded after hearing this.

"This Zhao Si has been in contact with the Japanese since they occupied Northeast China. Over the years, he has been helping the Japanese sell opium in China and plundering our cultural relics."

"Now that the devils have occupied North China, Zhao Si has transformed himself into the president of the North China Chamber of Commerce."

"Relying on the support of the devils, they are even more unscrupulous."

"They are seizing our national enterprises and forcing all industries to hand over their secret recipes. Those who refuse to comply will be imprisoned at best and their entire family will be exterminated at worst."

"It can be said that his crimes are heinous and his deeds are full of evil!"

Chu Yunfei said hatefully.

"So there is such a thing. If it weren't for what Brother Yunfei said, I would have never heard of it. This kind of national scum is really hateful."

Lin Tian cursed.

There has never been a shortage of such people who betray their own country in China's history.

Even in Lin Tian's era in later generations, there were still many people who hated the country.

Whenever he sees his country getting better, he feels like a man who has eaten an old lady's foot binding, and his whole body becomes itchy.

Whenever he sees something happening in a foreign country, he jumps up and down and acts sarcastic, just like a maggot in a cesspool. It makes you sick to look at it, and it makes you dirty to hit it.

Little do they know that such people are criticized by their own people and looked down upon by outsiders, and are like living clowns.

"Zhao Si, huh? What a good name for courting death."

"Hey, didn't Hongshan just say that Zhao Si's son was here? Where is he?"

Lin Tian looked at Hong Shan and asked.

"Uh... Commander, Zhao Yuanren didn't run with us. When we ran away, he was still in the stable. I don't know where he is now."

"Sir, you can search."

Hong Shan recalled and said.

Lin Tian asked Fang Zheng to ask the communicator to go to the place they had just come from and notify the follow-up troops to search for Zhao Yuanren's whereabouts.

Hong Shan glanced at Lin Tian cautiously and said, "Well... well, sir, are you really an Eighth Route Army soldier?"

"If we are not the Eighth Route Army, then who else could we be? Can't we see the military uniforms?"

Lin Tian said in a deep voice.

"No...I didn't mean that."

"I've heard about it a long time ago. A few days ago, the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese was completely wiped out by a few hundred people of the Eighth Route Army. I was wondering at the time, when did the Eighth Route Army become so powerful?"

"Now that I've seen your troops, I understand everything. You must be the hero who wiped out the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese. How can you be so young..."

"I wonder... whether the commander can... take us in..."

Hong Shan asked tentatively. He didn't dare to make this request. After all, he was a traitor and was still someone else's prisoner.

It’s a good thing that Lin Tian didn’t kill him.

I can’t even imagine joining such an elite force…

Hong Shan regretted it right after he finished speaking. He was just daydreaming...

"Oh?"

"You can join us if you want. There are also former puppet soldiers in my army."

"But they have never harmed the common people, so their hands are relatively clean. I just listened for a long time, and your situation meets our requirements."

Lin Tian thought for a moment and said.

When Hong Shan heard this, his lost eyes suddenly became clear, and a hint of excitement flashed across them.

"However, there are too many of you. I cannot recruit so many Locust Alliance troops. This is a huge challenge to our combat effectiveness and stability."

"I can agree with you to select 3000 trustworthy people with clean hands who can follow us to fight the Japanese and have them join us temporarily."

"But joining us doesn't mean we approve of you, understand?"

“You must pass our test before you can truly become one of us.”

Lin Tian said lightly.

Except for those who were just killed, there are now nearly 9000 locust soldiers left.

9000 people. If they were ordinary people, Lin Tian would definitely be ecstatic and open the door to welcome them to join.

But as for the Locust Army, we still need to think twice.

There are many people like Zhang Laoer in the Locust Association Army, but most of them are spineless. They are so scared that they pee their pants when they see the Japs and help them bully us Chinese.

As for Hongshan, the situation is acceptable. After all, they had fought a bloody battle with the Japanese. They only surrendered to the Japanese when they were left with no other options. They have not harmed the common people over the years.

acceptable.

Lin Tian believes that after ideological education and high-intensity training, these 3000 people can still kill the enemy on the battlefield.

"Thank you sir..."

"Thank you sir..."

Hong Shan's face was full of excitement, and he clasped his fists towards Lin Tian and expressed his gratitude continuously.

"Also, let me ask you, what actions did the devils take this time?"

"Which direction will your troops attack?"

Lin Tian asked, the Japanese mobilized so many troops this time, even if it was a feint attack, they had to achieve some results.

Otherwise, once the cannon is fired, there will be a lot of gold. The Japanese have mobilized so many people, they are not here to clear out their inventory.

"Uh... this."

"Sir, we were supposed to operate together with the Japanese 8th Mixed Brigade this time."

"But the Japanese troops behind us are going to separate from our 11th Division and their destination is Fangcheng."

"Let us meet up with them in Fangcheng in ten days."

"I don't know any more details..."

"The devils didn't give us the Locust Army any clear combat missions this time. We were just following the devil's main force to do odd jobs..."

"We are still 80 kilometers away from Fangcheng. I don't want to destroy our own people, so I let the troops set up camp here and take their time."

Hong Shan said with a look of shame on his face.

I voted for Lin Tian but he couldn't even provide me with any information. Sigh... I feel so pathetic...

"It seems that the devils are really up to something this time."

"How about this, Hongshan, take your former radio soldiers and your communication equipment and follow me."

"No one from your place escaped. The devils probably don't know that you have surrendered yet."

"Perhaps, this is an opportunity..."

Lin Tian said thoughtfully.

Hong Shan went to do it immediately. If he couldn't handle such a small matter, how could he work under Lin Tian...

After making the arrangements, Hongshan called over a dozen of his former brothers and went to select people.

As he walked, he turned back to thank Lin Tian. This was a new life for Hong Shan...

After finishing the task, Lin Tian arranged two companies of soldiers to bring the people selected by Hongshan and the captives back to Laowangshan. They were to be kept under strict surveillance and no news should be leaked. Everything would be done after the battle was over.

Lin Tian immediately called Fang Zheng over and ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield quickly.

Although the equipment of the Locust Army was not as good as that of the Japanese, and some were old weapons discarded by the Japanese, but no matter what, anything that can draw out pus is a good plaster.

The equipment of a division of the Locust Army is still very heavy, and can be packaged together and shipped to the headquarters in the future.

Looking at Hong Shan's departing back, Chu Yunfei had a look of disdain on his face.

Soldiers must have backbone, and fight the enemy to the death even if they have run out of ammunition and food.

No matter what, if you surrender to the devil, you are no longer clean...

But Chu Yunfei still didn't say it, because after all, it was Lin Tian's decision and he couldn't interfere.

Lin Tian also saw what Chu Yunfei was thinking and asked, "Brother Yunfei, do you think I shouldn't recruit these locust soldiers..."

"That's right, Brother Lin. Soldiers must have backbone and the courage to sacrifice their lives for their country!"

"No matter what, anyone who surrenders to the devil is a coward!"

"But Chu is an outsider after all. This is Brother Lin's family affair. Chu can't interfere too much. I just want to remind Brother Lin not to be careless..."

Chu Yunfei heard this and thought that since Lin Tian had seen through it, it would be unkind of him not to say anything.

"Well, I have considered what Brother Yunfei said, which is why I only recruited 3000 people."

"People always make mistakes. As long as they haven't harmed the common people, it means they still have some conscience as Chinese people and are not hopeless."

"Give them a chance. The country is in danger now and we need people. As long as they can fight the devils, we can accept them."

Lin Tian explained that after all, Chu Yunfei still had to win over people and listen to the opinions that needed to be heard. He couldn't be a dictator.

As they were talking, two soldiers came over with a man with a slicked-back mustache and slicked-back clothes.

"Commander!"

"Commander!"

"We caught a big fish!"

"This is a big traitor..."

The two warriors shouted excitedly.
