Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Chapter 504 Recruitment

Ye Feng, who was standing on the stage, pointed at a person and asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhao Gang."

Ye Feng said, "The Japanese devils came and invaded our homeland. What happened at your home?"

"I hate the Japanese devils. Before they came, my family had a small business and could make a living, but the damn Japanese rushed into the city, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil. My parents were shot to death by the Japanese just because of a quarrel. That's not all. The Japanese targeted my sister. In order not to be defiled, my sister jumped off the building and committed suicide. The Japanese burned down my house to vent their anger."

Ye Feng asked, "Have you ever thought about resisting?"

"Have!"

The young man lifted his clothes and saw shocking scars all over his body. He said angrily, "I planned to gather a group of people to kill the devils secretly, but I was betrayed by a traitor and was thrown into a cell. After being tortured by the Japanese, I was forced to do heavy work every day, and I was not well fed or well dressed. If I was not careful, I would be beaten."

"Want to fight the devils?"

Ye Feng raised the gun in his hand and said, "Join our underground party, fight against the Japanese together, and kill the devils together."

The young man strode forward, caught the gun, his eyes lighting up.

Ye Feng can be sure that as long as this young man undergoes some training, he will definitely be an outstanding fighter when facing the Japanese on the battlefield in the future.

He looked at a dark-skinned middle-aged man again, "Brother, how is the situation at home?"

The man put his fist in his pocket and said with a miserable expression on his face, "It's hard, too hard. The Japanese came and raped and looted everywhere as soon as they entered the city. For the sake of my wife and daughter, I had to leave my home and hide in the mountains and forests. Sometimes I had no food to eat. Even when they were sick, I had to endure it. I didn't dare to take them to the city for medical treatment. This life was too hard!"

Ye Feng asked, "In order to protect your wife and daughter, are you willing to pick up a gun and fight the Japanese to the death?"

"willing!"

This man, who had suffered countless hardships, agreed to join the underground party's armed forces on the spot without even a frown.

"This is our homeland. We are the masters of this land. All of them, the Japanese, should die and be killed!"

The man's words aroused the common hatred of countless people.

Looking at the excited people, Ye Feng raised his voice and continued, "The country is in danger now. As the saying goes, every citizen has a share of responsibility when the country is in danger. Do you still want to be enslaved by the Japanese? Do you still want the Japanese to trample on our heads? Do you still want our loved ones to face the threat of being killed by invaders at any time and anywhere?"

Don't want to!

Don't want to!

Don't want to!

The deafening voices of the people rose one after another, and the sound waves reached the sky.

Ye Feng raised his arms and shouted, "Fellow villagers, join the team led by our underground party, unite as one, and defeat the Japanese invaders!"

"Are all Chinese men cowards? Are all of us wimps? No, we are men of courage."

"Don't die in silence, explode in silence!"

"From today on, it is time for each of us to explode, accumulate our energy, kill all those Japanese beasts, defeat the invaders, and long live China!"

Countless people raised their arms high and followed Ye Feng, shouting the most inspiring cheers:

"Defeat the invaders, long live Shenzhou!!!"

From this moment on, people who were originally numb to life are no longer like bodies without souls.

Their spirit is back.

There was light in their eyes.

In the end, thousands of young and middle-aged people were willing to join the army and take up guns to protect their homes and loved ones.

Ye Feng also gave it a troop organization - the Eighth Regiment of the Independent Reorganized Division.

Li Aiguo was appointed as the head of the Eighth Regiment.

Li Aiguo's background is not simple. He was a veteran of the party organization who had walked through the snow-capped mountains and grasslands. He was also one of the veterans who supported Shanghai from the Yan'an headquarters. His command style was mainly steady, so it was not a problem for him to defend the Huainan area.

The cadres of each battalion and company are more than a dozen anti-Japanese veterans who had previously participated in the Battle of Shanghai.

Leaving behind two battalions of soldiers to protect Huainan County, Ye Feng led the remaining 8000 troops southward at night to deal with the Japanese troops from Hefei.

When they arrived at the border of Shou County and Hefei, Ye Feng asked Niu Chujun to lead this group of new recruits and start fighting.

Attack the artillery towers, eliminate the Japanese strongholds outside the city, and then attack the towns.

Because it was necessary to train the troops, Ye Feng was not in a hurry. He was responsible for strategy formulation in the rear, while Niu Chujun, the new regiment commander, was responsible for the specific command of the attack at the front line.

As for the supply of weapons and ammunition, Ye Feng’s plan was also very simple: replenish them from wherever they fought.

After fighting for nearly half a month, they finally reached the vicinity of Hefei City.

The 8000-man army grew larger and larger as the battle went on, and had now expanded to a force of 1 people.

Fortunately, during this period, Ye Feng used the scanning system to discover an enemy material transfer point and took his men to destroy it in advance.

Otherwise, feeding so many people would be a headache.

On the eve of the battle to recapture Hefei.

The troops set up camp and rested in a wilderness ten kilometers away, and Ye Feng suddenly found something wrong.

"Xiao Lu, has Commander Ye sent any information?" Ye Feng asked.

Xiaolu, who was in charge of the radio station, shook his head and said, "Three days ago, Commander Ye and his troops had their radio stations in silent mode and could not be contacted."

Ye Feng called out again, "Let Luo Daqian come over."

"Commander, the situation is a bit strange right now. A few days ago, for some unknown reason, Commander Ye and his men lost contact. Even the several waves of scouts we sent out did not send back any news."

Luo Daqian continued, "However, it is said that a Shancheng troop entered Anhui, but the details are unknown."

The army of Shancheng?

They secretly entered Anhui at this time. What war intentions could they have? They came to seize the base!

Ye Feng asked, "What about the Japanese troops?"

Luo Daqian said, "According to the intelligence we have, the main force in Hefei City currently has about one infantry regiment and four infantry squadrons, with a total of more than 7000 people. If we add their military police, the police department, and the detective team of the traitor team, the total number exceeds 1 people."

Ye Feng said, "Our troops are sweeping their various artillery towers, towns, etc. on the periphery. Why don't the main forces of the Japanese come out to support us?"

Luo Daqian said, "Perhaps the Japanese intention is to fight us in Hefei City."

is it possible?

In Anhui today, the Japanese have absolute advantages in terms of numbers, weapons, etc.

The anti-Japanese armed forces have reached their doorstep, but people remain indifferent. Do they really think the Japanese commander is a fool?

There must be something strange about Hefei city.

Before launching the Battle of Hefei, Ye Feng took a squad of soldiers to investigate the situation.

After returning, Ye Feng immediately issued an order:

"Dispatch two regiments and immediately return to support Shou County. Send a message to Song Yu, asking him to guard against the surprise attack from the mountain city troops in the southwest while repelling the Japanese in Yingshang. No matter what the cost, Shou County must be defended."

"Send another company of messengers to find General Ye and his troops and have them lead their troops to support the Battle of Hefei."

"The remaining 6000 people were organized into the Ninth and Tenth Regiments. The Ninth Regiment set out under cover of darkness and headed towards Huainan City. They were under the command of Regiment Commander Li Aiguo, and their main mission was to defend Huainan City."

……

Ye Feng’s strategic plan is very simple, to keep the two basic bases of Shou County and Huainan.

Then use a small number of troops to capture the city of Hefei.

As long as this battle is won.

Half of Anhui was recovered and became controlled by the underground party troops.

By then, it will be connected with Jiangsu in the north and Shanghai in the east, forming a strategically deep area.
