When the puppet army surrendered, Zhang Dabiao and the first battalion of soldiers took over Wanjia Town.

However, considering that the First Battalion would not be able to stay in Wanjia Town for long, Kong Jie ordered Zhang Dabiao to restrain the soldiers and not to affect the lives of the residents of Wanjia Town.

A soldier brought out ammunition and firearms, as well as various supplies from the warehouse of the puppet army in Wanjia Town and tied them to the war horses. Hundreds of war horses were enough for the soldiers to take away all the spoils seized in Wanjia Town. The bullets in the hands of the puppet army were also confiscated. The Independent Regiment was afraid of poverty and did not want to leave any bullets for these puppet army.

"General, CEO, hello, I am the battalion commander here. If you have any problems, our brothers will cooperate with you. I hope you will show mercy to your subordinates." The puppet army battalion commander saw Kong Jie coming and said quickly.

The battalion commander of the puppet army was a little worried. As the cavalry battalion under the 8th Brigade of the Imperial Army, they believed that they were much stronger than other puppet troops. On weekdays, many of them had bullied ordinary people. Now that the Eighth Route Army is coming, he is still worried that he will be killed by the Eighth Route Army. Faced with the first battalion of soldiers guarding them with guns around, the puppet army battalion commander was full of worries.

"As long as you haven't done anything bad, then you can rest assured that our Eighth Route Army will not touch you." Kong Jie glanced at the puppet army battalion commander and said in a deep voice.

The puppet army battalion commander looked ugly. He was just worried about this matter. "Boss, you can discuss something. How much do you think you can buy my life? As long as you can survive, I am willing to give your army a certain amount of money as a gift for redeem!"

"Let's keep your money yourself." Kong Jie understood that the puppet army battalion commander must have done nothing good.

Kong Jie had no good feelings for such a puppet army. Looking at the other captured puppet army, Kong Jie persuaded these puppet army to join the team of the independent regiment and fight the Japanese soldiers with the independent regiment. After all, these puppet army lost so many war horses and would definitely be punished by the Japanese devils. Staying here and continuing to be a puppet army is not necessarily a good thing.

But looking at the puppet army that did not have much fluctuation, Kong Jie was helpless. Some of these puppet army were unable to enter. They believed that the Eighth Route Army would not kill them completely. Many of them were glad that they had no chance to oppress the ordinary people because of their low positions. Now that they had not done such a thing before, it means that they were safe.

Many puppet army officers looked ugly. They wanted to survive, but they had no weapons in their hands. Facing the battalion of soldiers holding guns around them, they had no chance to escape. As for inciting the puppet army around them to resist, it was naturally impossible. The other puppet army was not fools. Knowing that they were not in danger of their lives, they naturally would not die with these officers.

"Captain Kong, can you ask me to say a few words?" Seeing that Kong Jie's persuasion was ineffective, Liu Gen stepped forward and said.

Liu Gen didn't know if it would be useful to persuade him, but he was willing to try it. He had nothing to do, and it wouldn't waste much time even if he tried it.

"Okay! Then you can try it." Kong Jie was a little surprised, but he still spoke.

Although Kong Jie did not think that Liu Gen could make any difference, he was willing to let Liu Gen try it out. Now the organization of the independent regiment is compressed and a large number of soldiers need to be supplemented. These Imperial Army troops have very weak combat effectiveness, because there is very little training on weekdays. If these people can be absorbed into the independent regiment, then Kong Jie has a way to prevent these puppet troops from having any other thoughts.

"Comrades, the one I just talked to you was the deputy leader of our delegation. Now I will say a few words to you."

"Everyone is Chinese, and this is undeniable. I know that many of you choose to become puppet troops because they cannot eat enough. The Japanese devils have strong combat effectiveness. You choose to surrender to the Japanese army and become the Imperial Army that assists their battles! But now is not the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan. In the past few years, have you not seen that the Japanese devils' combat effectiveness is not that strong? Not to mention the distance, just talk about the nearest ones, the devils have not played any role in encircling and suppressing our Eighth Route Army's base areas. Instead, many devils died under the guns of our Eighth Route Army!"

“…”

Faced with these puppet troops, Liu Gen was right and moved with emotion, mainly because he captured that the Japanese devils' combat effectiveness was not that strong, and the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness was also constantly getting stronger. The most important thing is that if they did not join the Eighth Route Army, they would definitely punish them when the Japanese arrived. In addition, Liu Gen made a guarantee that after joining the Independent Regiment, they would be able to eat enough every day and after a certain allowance every month, many people were moved and chose to join the Independent Regiment.

Soon, most of the puppet troops made a decision and they chose to join the independent regiment. Most of the puppet troops who did not make a decision were officers in the puppet troops. They did not do much evil in their daily lives and knew that they would not have a good end. As for the other puppet troops, they wanted to leave, find a place to hide, and no longer participate in any battles.

Liu Gen and others did not choose to interfere with the decisions made by these puppet troops. After most of the puppet troops decided to join the independent regiment, others were responsible for this matter.

"Genzi, you are the one who has you. I didn't expect you to take down these puppet troops in just a few words." Kong Jie looked at Liu Gen and said with appreciation.

Liu Gen shook his head quickly and did not dare to accept Kong Jie's praise. "Captain Kong, these people chose to join our independent regiment, and they also saw that our Eighth Route Army could win battles and dare to fight the Japanese! Moreover, our victory in the anti-encirclement and suppression some time ago also played a significant role. The Japanese have become weaker, and these puppet troops are not fools, so they naturally know how to choose."

"What you said is right. Many people know this, but only you boy said it. When you go back, I will tell Lao Li about your performance and ask him to ask for me." Kong Jie patted Liu Gen's shoulder and said with a smile.

The less than 200 puppet troops who chose to join the Independent Regiment were the cavalry battalion of the puppet army, which was not large in number, and less than 300 people. This is why Li Yunlong was confident that he could easily take down this cavalry battalion. As long as these puppet troops were brought back, they would inevitably be able to quickly form combat power. However, such a large number of puppet troops would also have some impact on joining the Independent Regiment, but let these things be left to the regiment commander Li Yunlong for a headache.

At six or seven o'clock in the morning, Kong Jie took Liu Gen and others to leave Wanjia Town. The soldiers of the first battalion and the puppet troops who were preparing to join the Independent Regiment had nearly 500 people. In addition to the horses he brought, the team seemed a bit huge. Unlike when he came, when he returned, Kong Jie sent many soldiers to investigate to avoid any attacks.
