Anti-Japanese War: My strategist joins the game and awakens the small map!

The headquarters of the New Second Regiment, Dashimen Village.

Outside the house, there was a strong wind and snow, and the wind was blowing constantly, but the headquarters of the New Second Regiment seemed a little quiet.

Until a voice slowly came...

"It would be too dangerous for Black Cloud Village to remain stuck here. Our regiment's communication with the outside world almost always has to pass through the road below Black Cloud Village."

Kong Jie put down the pipe in his hand and exhaled a puff of smoke. Listening to the words of Chief of Staff Xie Yulin, he frowned and stared at the map in the command room.

I was faced with such a problem when I was transferred from the independent regiment and became the commander of the newly expanded Second Regiment.

In his base, there was actually a group of bandits at the entrance of a major traffic artery!

Moreover, there were more than 400 bandits in this group, which was almost the same number as the new Second Regiment where he had just taken office.

"How much do you know about this Black Cloud Village?" Kong Jie said seriously.

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Xie Yulin's expression froze. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Black Cloud Village has been entrenched here for a long time. They have been attacking nearby villages for many years. The local people have suffered terribly from the Black Cloud Village."

"They once robbed a battalion of Nationalist troops of their rations. The Nationalist army sent two fully staffed battalions to encircle and suppress them, but they returned empty-handed. Later, because of the Japanese sweep, they had no time to deal with these bandits."

"..."

Xie Yulin told Kong Jie everything he knew.

When Kong Jie heard this, his brows furrowed, his expression becoming more serious as he smoked his cigarette. Even the two fully staffed battalions of the Nationalist Army had failed to capture the Black Cloud Village...

Kong Jie examined the location of Heiyun Village on the map, and the more he looked, the more difficult it became for him to calm down.

Some supplies for the New Second Regiment have to pass through Heiyun Village. We can't have to pay them tolls when passing through Heiyun Village, right?

This will only make things worse for them since they are not well-off, and will definitely not be beneficial to the development of the New Second Regiment.

More importantly, if we allow these bandits to harm the people, what is the point of having them stationed here?

"If we want to fight, it will be difficult with the few people and few guns we have now."

Kong Jie thought for a moment and asked again: "Is there any way to get in touch with these bandits?"

"Um."

"Try to recruit them first. If that doesn't work, we'll find another way. We absolutely cannot let the Black Cloud Village cause chaos in the New Second Regiment's base."

Kong Jie's eyes became firmer and he put away his pipe.

As for the Black Cloud Village, a frontal attack is unrealistic, so we have to try to recruit them. If the recruitment is successful, not only can these bandits be changed under the control of the New Second Regiment, but the strength of the New Second Regiment can also be enhanced.

The two of them talked for a while about the recruitment, and then focused on dealing with this matter...

......

A few miles away from Heiyun Village.

The wind and snow are still blowing, and many lakes have frozen over.

Everything on earth is covered with a layer of silver-white snow.

On a hilltop, Kong Jie was sitting on a wooden chair in military uniform, and sitting in front of him was Xie Baoqing, the leader of Heiyun Village.

After a few days of contact, it was not difficult to get in touch, and the two parties agreed to meet here.

However, Xie Baoqing brought more than 50 people this time, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to his own safety.

"Captain Kong, I've heard that Captain Kong has come to Dashimen Village, but now that winter is here, I don't have time to pay a visit. Please forgive me."

Xie Baoqing had a smile on his face, and the mink fur on his shoulders moved in the wind.

"Thank you, Boss, for your courtesy. You are well aware of the current situation. The Japanese raids in northwest Shanxi are becoming more frequent. I was suddenly ordered to come here."

Kong Jie looked at Xie Baoqing in front of him, and glanced at the more than 50 bandits behind him, who were armed with various weapons.

There are Type 38 rifles, Hanyang rifles... and three Type 99 rifles...

With the appearance of these weapons, Kong Jie must handle the Black Cloud Village with caution. These equipments are far superior to those of the New Second Regiment.

However, if he could use this power for his own benefit, Kong Jie's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

"I've also read Captain Kong's personal letter. It's not that I don't want to, but there are over 400 people in my Black Cloud Village who rely on me for their daily needs. If we are to join the Eighth Route Army, there are still many reasons."

Xie Baoqing also glanced at the platoon of soldiers behind Kong Jie. It was a cold winter, but they were wearing thin military uniforms. Those clothes were not even 30% thicker than those of the guards guarding the village.

However, Xie Baoqing also knew that there was no benefit in breaking off relations with the Eighth Route Army. It would be better to keep out of each other's way. This was also the purpose of his coming here. Although the number of people in this Eighth Route Army was small, he could not only consider this one. If he mobilized troops from other places, their Black Cloud Village would still be in danger of destruction.

The two battalions of the National Army last time had already made him realize the danger, but the Japanese devils helped him.

When Kong Jie heard this, his brows furrowed instantly. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"The country is in crisis. You and I both live on this land. Do you want to see the devils destroy the place where you were born and raised?"

Xie Baoqing smiled calmly, put his hand into the mink sleeve and warmed it:

"Captain Kong, now that you've mentioned that, we're actually quite willing to fight the Japs. We'd love for our Black Cloud Village brothers to join us, but I have three conditions."

"Tell me about it." Kong Jie thought for a moment and responded.

"First, you can join, but our Black Cloud Village can be considered an external organization of the Eighth Route Army, just like your organization in the National Army, it has a name."

"Secondly, if we join, Captain Kong can allow me to develop independently in Black Cloud Village. After all, we are more familiar with the surrounding area."

"Third, let's not hold our past against us. There are always some troublemakers under my command. If someone commits a crime, I have the final say."

Xie Baoqing spoke calmly and said that in the current situation, the Japanese were forcing the Eighth Route Army to retreat step by step.

Besides, you are already living happily in Heiyun Village, so why would you seek suffering?

Whoever is in charge in this world is the boss, no matter whether they are the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army, or the National Army. As long as I can burn firewood, hug my woman, and drink wine in this cold winter, I can be as happy as I want.

When Kong Jie heard the first one, he was in no mood to listen any further, and his pupils gradually became serious.

"Impossible!" Kong Jie's attitude became tough at this time. He was steady, but not cowardly.

Xie Baoqing said this, indicating that he had no intention of joining. Coming here to meet him was just a farce, as the saying goes, there is no need to talk too much if you don't agree.

Seeing Kong Jie's response, Xie Baoqing just smiled and said, "Captain Kong, since you've said so, I won't force you. Let's keep our distance and say goodbye."

Xie Baoqing still had a smile on his face. He clasped his fists and stood up with a smile.

This time he also gave way. It was cold now and he didn't want to waste time, so he took everyone away.

Kong Jie watched Xie Baoqing gradually walk away, holding his hands tightly.

The three ridiculous demands made were intentional.

However, with the current strength of the New Second Regiment, it is still difficult to attack the Black Cloud Village.

He also looked at the location of Heiyun Village. It was like a fortress. Not only was it built on the mountain, but it also had many hidden bunkers.

Even after Xie Baoqing left, Kong Jie still had a frown on his face.
