The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 622 How did the migrant labor group become a military force?

Open up Zhongtiaoshan Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base.

Follow the original process.

Until January 17, according to the instructions of the headquarters, the 18th Division marched southward in Taiyue, composed of the No.57, No.[-] and [-]th regiments of the No. detachment.

A total of more than [-] people from the Henan-Shanxi District Party Committee went south to carry out the task of opening up the Zhongtiaoshan Anti-Japanese Base Area.

But right now, due to Kong Jie's first prediction of the situation in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

Even before the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain broke out, Kong Jie sent a mountain company to the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

So far, due to the existence of the three mountain companies, Zhongtiao Mountain has established a considerable foundation for the anti-Japanese revolutionary base.

After successfully arriving in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, Han Feng and the other three mountain companies were not just fighting guerrillas.

At the same time, according to the rich experience of the Eighth Route Army in opening up base areas in the past, it contacted and mobilized the masses everywhere, attacked bandits and diehard armed forces, and assisted the localities in establishing an anti-Japanese regime and armed forces.

And achieved considerable results.

Because of this, Kong Jie believed that it was extremely necessary to break the original process and send troops to the Zhongtiao Mountain area to open up the Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base as soon as possible.

Just when Captain Kong was thinking about these things, checking for omissions and making up for vacancies.

the other side.

After Kong Jie discussed with Dong San, Director of the Logistics Department of the Independent Mission, and Xu Qingnian, Director of the Finance Department, the base area development plan for the demographic dividend.

According to Kong Jie's plan, Dong San and Xu Qingnian began to gradually accept refugees to settle in the independent regiment's roots and arrange these refugees one by one.

Either enter a factory, or farm, or join a migrant labor group, step by step towards the blueprint of the demographic dividend.

In less than a month, the Independent Group actually expanded into five migrant labor groups, with a total of more than [-] migrant labor groups.

According to the plan discussed by Kong Jie, Li Wenjie and other cadres, the migrant labor groups formed were divided into three types of migrant labor groups according to different tasks.

The first category is the front-line army standing migrant labor corps.

To put it simply, this kind of migrant labor group is directly used by the independent group and assigned to the command.

In addition to not distributing weapons to the front line to fight against the little devils, whether it is during combat or non-combat, the transportation in the regiment, where labor is required, the front-line standing migrant workers can always be on top of the army.

The second category is the transfer of migrant workers from the second line, who are responsible for the transportation between the troops behind the base area.

The third category is temporary migrant workers, which need to be quickly formed in time, and the local government is responsible for assisting the transportation of combat troops.

Most of these migrant workers are composed of some local villagers who provide labor temporarily. After completing the tasks, they will return to their villages to continue farming and working.

Kong Jie's independent group currently has five migrant labor groups.

The first, second, and third regiments are all standing migrant workers on the front line, and most of their members are refugees who have escaped.

Since these members have no family burden in the base area, they can work with the army for a long time. The logistics department even arranged accommodation for them in the root of the independent regiment, and provided them with clothing, food, housing, and wages.

The fourth and fifth regiments are second-line transfer migrant workers.

As for temporary migrant workers, of course there are, but they are not counted right now.

If we add the temporary migrant workers who can be quickly organized in the local area, the independent group can even pull out nearly eight migrant worker groups at one time.

In other words, if Kong Jie needs it, he can quickly pull out a team of nearly 6000 migrant workers around the Independence Group.

There are more than 5000 soldiers in the independent regiment, and each soldier can even be assigned a militiaman to be responsible for transportation.

To be honest, it is indeed a bit extravagant.

But who gave Captain Kong the capital?

After the migrant labor group was quickly formed, it followed the plan discussed by Kong Jie and Li Wenjie.

Let the members take the lead in investing in the various economic constructions of the independent regiment base.

Kong Jie said this when talking to members of the labor union:

"Comrades, what is the nature of our labor group? What is it for? I think the cadres in the group should have told you."

"In a word, apart from not fighting, you can basically be said to be a militarized organization."

"On a bigger scale, everyone is here to make a contribution to our anti-Japanese cause, and also because we don't want to be subjugated slaves, and we want to drive the invaders, little devils, out of China!"

"But I, Kong Jie, like to tell the truth, except for the big principle of serving the country and the people."

"I think everyone came here to work, to earn wages, to support their families, and to live a prosperous life."

"Here, on behalf of the entire independent group, I, Kong Jie, can assure everyone that as long as you come here in good health, I will definitely find jobs for all of you, so that you can work and earn money."

"But there is one thing I have to tell you. If you join the migrant labor group, you will belong to an organization with militarized management. You must obey the command and obey the arrangements and orders of your superiors."

……

Director Kong gave a speech from the bottom of his heart.

The local people are grateful to Kong Jie for finding jobs for everyone so that everyone can earn money.

Not to mention the refugees who escaped from the disaster, Director Kong, who not only provided food for everyone, but also provided shelter for their families and paid wages, is simply a living bodhisattva in everyone's hearts.

Therefore, no member is unwilling to obey Kong Jie's arrangement.

Kong Jie also did what he said, and quickly provided corresponding positions for the members of the five migrant labor groups.

Those who work in agriculture work in agriculture, those who raise livestock maintain health, those who enter factories enter factories, and those who engage in transportation engage in transportation...

The cadres of the independent regiment were extremely efficient. It took less than two days to arrange for all five militia regiments and more than [-] migrant workers to work.

The people have jobs to do, and they still get paid. They feel the steadiness of life and the realization of self-worth, not to mention how happy they are.

Li Wenjie rushed to the regiment headquarters and reported to Kong Jiehui:

"Head, I now understand what you mean by the demographic dividend."

"The injection of more than [-] laborers can be regarded as replacing all the soldiers we used in these positions at once."

"And the members of the migrant labor group who came here with the purpose of working have a strong learning ability. They will be proficient in some simple positions in a few days."

"Our soldiers can be regarded as able to free up their hands and focus on military operations and training."

But having said that, Li Wenjie said from another angle:
"However... Regimental Commander, we are still preparing to improve our troops and streamline our administration. In this way, the strength of our regiment has even exceeded [-]."

"If this is misunderstood by the superior..."

Kong Jiele said: "The superiors have nothing to misunderstand. We have a better army and a simpler administration. This migrant labor group is neither a soldier nor involved in politics. It is not among them."

"Wenjie, you just report the matter of the migrant workers' group to the headquarters according to the facts, and also send the documents we have prepared for the establishment of the militia group, including the preparations, systems, and methods, to the headquarters."

"Hey!" Li Wenjie responded.

But the subsequent development around the migrant workers' group greatly exceeded the expectations of Head Kong.

But it is said that the head of the first migrant worker group of the independent group is Xie Baoqing.

Since joining the labor union, Xie Baoqing has performed quite well with his construction team.

In addition, Xie Baoqing managed the Heiyun village in Nuoda back then, and the bandits had their own ideas, and they managed it in an orderly manner.

In terms of organization and management, Xie Baoqing is very skilled.

This group of migrant workers is also a standing migrant worker on the front line of the army, directly commanded, appointed, and formed by the independent group.

When Kong Jie thought about it later, he wanted to give Xie Baoqing a try, and first let him be the first battalion commander of the migrant workers' regiment.

The head of the group is temporarily held by Kong Jie.

As a result, Xie Baoqing did a good job. Every time Kong Jie assigned a task to a regiment, he quickly completed it under Xie Baoqing's efficient organization.

After the first group of migrant workers was formally established, Kong Jie also appointed Xie Baoqing as the head of the first group.

Of course, for the political commissar and the director of the political department of the first regiment, Kong Jie arranged for other suitable cadres in the regiment.

Not afraid but just in case, always be on guard, don't let Xie Baoqing lead the militia astray.

Xie Baoqing is mainly responsible for the organization and management.

to July.

Xie Baoqing arranged for the Second Battalion of the First Migrant Workers Regiment to transport a batch of supplies from the Independent Regiment to the Fifth Regiment of Head Feng.

As a result, on the way, this batch of supplies was robbed by a group of bandits entrenched in the mountainous area.

When the news reached the independent regiment, Kong Jie was furious.

This group of brigands who don't have eyes, dare to offend Commander Kong, but they really don't know how many eyes Prince Ma has.

Kong Jie immediately prepared to give an order to directly encircle and suppress these bandits, leaving no one behind.

Xie Baoqing, who heard about this, hurried to the independent group and said to Kong Jie:
"Leader, let me try it!
I will bring two brothers over there, and promise to get back our batch of supplies. In addition, if all goes well, I can even recruit the bandits from that mountain area to the independent regiment for you. "

Kong Jie thought about it, Xie Baoqing had been a bandit for many years, and he knew the way of bandits, so he simply nodded.

It would be much better if we could fight without bloodshed, than to waste manpower and material resources in suppressing bandits.

Xie Baoqing really took a few members of the migrant labor group, and based on his familiarity with the bandits, he found the group of bandits in the mountainous area.

The specific way!

Xie Baoqing pretended to be a bandit first, and used all kinds of slang words that came at his fingertips, just saying that the bandit minions who came to meet were stunned.

"It's terrible, master, the chief gunner of Heiyunzhai, thank you master for coming!"

"Xie Baoqing? I heard that his Heiyunzhai was not surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and even the village was set on fire?"

The bandit leader Yao Hu was very puzzled.

However, it is not uncommon for a bandit leader like Xie Baoqing to escape from the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Yao Hu didn't suspect anything either.

"Are you sure it's really Xie Baoqing?"

Minoru said: "It's not wrong, the thieves who talk in black talk, the little things in our village, all let others talk about it in one sentence."

Yao Hu didn't know Xie Baoqing's reason for visiting.

But the power of Heiyunzhai back then was much greater than that of his hilltop.

Yao Hu chose to meet Xie Baoqing even out of respect for the bandit elders.

When the two sides met, they exchanged pleasantries first.

Xie Baoqing deliberately led the topic, and the two talked about the difficulty of being a bandit in the current troubled times with emotion.

then:

Xie Baoqing changed the subject, and said in a dignified tone:
"Brother, my brother is here to rescue you this time. Do you know whose team was that transport team you robbed last time?"

"Isn't it just a group of ordinary people?"

"Common people? Let me tell you, that is the transportation team of Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. I said brother, how many brains do you have to dare to provoke Commander Kong?"

"Just this morning, Captain Kong was furious when he learned that you had robbed the transport team, and he was about to send troops to directly encircle you, brother!"

"With Commander Kong's temper, when the time comes, the entire mountain, let alone your brothers, not even a mouse in the ravine will be left alive!"

Yao Hu had heard of Kong Jie's prestige, he was a ruthless guy who would tremble when a little devil met him, and he was quite frightened.

If they are bandits, if they want to live a long life, they will find out in advance who they can mess with, who they can't mess with, and who they must never mess with.

And Kong Jie and the independent group are on the list that must not be messed with.

"Brother, you have caused a big disaster."

"But it's the same as the hero of the green forest. This time, I specifically asked Commander Kong to come to see you."

……

"What's wrong with surrendering to the Eighth Route Army? Commander Kong is in charge of food, drink, and wages.

We are working on the Eighth Road, which can be regarded as a career for the Anti-Japanese War. We can earn money, have enough food and shelter, and we don’t have to take risks on the front line. Isn’t this much more comfortable than being a bandit? "

"Brother, you are also the chief gunner, so you should have such an awareness."

"Which one of us who are big and powerful in the village dare to sleep peacefully for one night?"

"Defense day and night, live in fear all day long, what are you trying to do?"

"Instead of taking your brothers to eat and eat in this mountain, you still risk being surrounded by the Eighth Route Army at any time.

Why not follow me to the independent group to work for the head of the Kong group, not only to gain fame, but also to make money? "

"Don't worry, what kind of person is Captain Kong, who can accommodate you!"

Xie Baoqing, who is also a bandit, understands Yao Hu's thoughts too well.

After speaking like this, Yao Hu took the wealth accumulated in the bandit village for many years as a vote of honor and surrendered to the independent group.

However, the matter is far from over.

Then Xie Baoqing passed Yao Hu's line again, and persuaded many bandits from the surrounding mountains to surrender.

Who is Xie Baoqing?

At that time, he was the leader of Heiyunzhai, the largest bandit force in Northwest Shanxi.

Since surrendering Kong Jie, Xie Baoqing has taught the Eighth Route Army how to fight bandits.

What kind of route will the bandits usually choose to rob, where in the village will they place eyeliners, and some channels for selling their stolen goods...

Since then, how can the bandits have any secrets for the Eighth Route Army?

Or say traitors are the most hateful!
With Xie Baoqing, an old bandit, the various regiments in the Taihang base area even came to ask him for advice on the task of suppressing bandits.

From then on, the life of the bandits in the entire Taihang and Taiyue areas was miserable.

Like a mouse hiding in XZ, never dared to provoke the Eighth Route Army.

As long as there are villages where the Eighth Route is stationed, they dare not touch them.

In recent years, I have been simmering in the mountains, and I can hardly hold on anymore.

Just like that, Xie Baoqing spread the news through Yao Hu, offering an olive branch for Kong Jie, and all the bandits came to surrender one after another.

And what is Xie Baoqing's current identity?

The head of the First Migrant Workers Regiment of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

It didn't take long for the news to spread:
The Eighth Route Army Migrant Worker Regiment wiped out dozens of bandit forces in Taihang, Taiyue and surrounding mountainous areas in less than a week.

Once the news came out, all the little devils in the county were shocked.

The devils also hated those bandits who would harass the Japanese army even if they had nothing to do, but because of the existence of the mountains, the little devils were helpless against the bandits.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army Migrant Workers Group eliminated dozens of bandit forces one after another in such a short period of time.

What kind of combat power is this?

With the in-depth investigation by the Japanese intelligence agency, the devils were even more astonished.

According to the investigation by the Japanese military intelligence department, many military organizations called migrant labor groups appeared around the base of the Eighth Route Army.

In the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army alone, there are more than five migrant labor regiments under its jurisdiction.

The little devil couldn't sit still.

Some devil officers even believed that the Eighth Route Army was frantically expanding the size of its troops and preparing to expand its base areas outward on a large scale.

The emergence of the migrant workers group made the Japanese army even more afraid of the Eighth Route Army troops.

And with the development of the situation, with the establishment of the migrant labor group, soon after, news even came out from the headquarters:
Acknowledging the existence of the Eighth Route Army migrant workers' groups, the migrant workers' groups even gave back their serial numbers.

Now, Kong Jie planned to form a militarized management, but a real people's organization.

It was rumored to be a militarized armed force!

This is jumping into the Yellow River and you can't wash it off.
