The news that the New 33rd Army had received the first batch of displaced people spread instantly, and all the displaced people began to approach Hu Guoshan's defense area.

"How did this happen?" Hu Guoshan had a black face in the headquarters, he did not expect that his order caused a chain reaction, and more and more displaced people poured to the periphery of their defense area, causing a lot of pressure on their troops.

In less than a week, nearly 100,000 people poured into the periphery of Hu Guoshan's defense area, and Hu Guoshan's division was in full array, and they did not want to treat these displaced people as enemies, but if they were really mixed with Japanese troops, the consequences would be unimaginable after pouring into their defense area.

"We have to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible, and it is estimated that a large number of people will approach our side in the next few days!" Zhao Caizhu said.

At first, they didn't realize that the situation could get so bad, and at first they only thought that there was only one place where there were displaced people, but now it seems that there is a wave of displaced people in the whole of Shanxi.

"Divisional Commander, Divisional Commander, I'm back!" It was an old squad leader of the reconnaissance battalion who returned.

Hu Guoshan pulled the squad leader of the reconnaissance battalion to sit down: "Tell me what happened?" ”

"Division commander, according to the situation we have detected, the Japanese army has withdrawn from the area they originally controlled, and now many county towns have become unmanaged, so large and small forces have sprung up in various places, and more than a dozen forces have appeared around some county towns under various banners, all of which are vying for control of the county and the region, and those forces do not have a good thing, they all started by plundering the common people, and many county towns have been destroyed by them!"

"But the Japanese organized it?"

"No, we have encountered a force that says that they are bandits, not like bandits, and they are under the banner of the Central Army, and they don't even have a gun in their hands! The situation between them is like a gang on fire! Most of them were locals, but there were also bandits who had fled from other provinces. ”

The squad leader of the reconnaissance battalion made a detailed report to Hu Guoshan on the situation they had reconnoitred along the way.

"Can these people do it to their own fathers and fellow villagers?" Hu Guoshan was angry, he thought that this wave of displaced people was a little devil doing nonsense, but he didn't expect that the final result would be that his compatriots would attack their own compatriots, without law and no moral constraints, human nature was exposed, they only had their own interests in their eyes, and they didn't care about the life or death of their fathers and fellow villagers.

"This is also something that can't be helped, China is in turmoil, the social structure and system are on the verge of collapse, if I had to choose between filling my stomach and abiding by the program, I would also choose to fill my stomach!" Zhao Caizhu seems to have become accustomed to this situation, and as Mr. Lu Xun said, I have never been afraid to speculate on Chinese with the worst malice.

"It's not just a matter of filling their stomachs, they're exterminating their own people, so how can people deserve to live in the world? It's worse than a little devil! ”

Gangchang collapses, there is no law, there is no morality, only ugly human nature, killing, plundering, destroying the homeland on which they depend, 100,000 people become outcasts, 100,000 people fall into the grass, in fact, they were just a simple Chinese people, but they struggled in the dark for too long, they did not see the light of day for too long, and at the moment of losing their restraint, everything they endured in the darkness was exposed.

They were once ants and they were used to the death of ants around them, and they didn't want to be ants who didn't even care about dying.

"Division Commander, if we don't take measures immediately, more and more people will definitely be displaced!" The squad leader of the reconnaissance battalion had seen those terrible things, and it could be said that they were more cruel than the little devils in some way, and he couldn't figure out why these people did what they did.

"Why don't we arrange for a few companies to clean up the situation?" Zhao Caizhu suggested.

"Treat the symptoms but not the root cause, once our troops are withdrawn, these forces will definitely resurge!"

"Commander, if we can sustain it for a while, don't we have two more months? As long as we can deter them for two months, we can set things right! Zhao Caizhu also knew that a situation like this was definitely not a sudden outbreak, some things were originally hidden in the darkest places, but they were suppressed for too long, and finally broke out, in order to completely solve this situation, in addition to strong laws, it is necessary to re-establish the most basic general morality, and this kind of thing cannot be solved in a short time.

Now there are still more than two months before they attack Taiyuan, as long as they maintain these two months first, and when they successfully recover Taiyuan, the local authorities will have reasonable management, and they will naturally calm down.

"Well, just do as you say, but you can't spare them, take the lead and kill a few important people first, if you can't deter them, then kill a few more until you can deter them!"

Hu Guoshan does not believe that violence can solve all problems, but he believes that violence is still necessary in some things, and it is very effective, and it is natural to use tougher means to deal with the wicked.

"Let the guard battalion go, they don't have many tasks lately!" Zhao Caizhu suggested.

The guard battalion was a reinforced battalion, with more than 1,500 men, divided into several parts, and it was enough to exterminate those who were armed with "wooden sticks" to plague the people.

"Tell Camp Commander Tang to let him catch me back, I want to see what these people are made of, and whether they understand etiquette, righteousness and shame! I don't know the rules of my ancestors! Hu Guoshan agreed to let the guard battalion go.

The situation in Shanxi became more and more complicated, and the strength of the Japanese army in Shanxi was constantly weakened by the new 33rd Army, and Yan Laoxi's Jin Sui Army, the regular army of the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, bandits, and those emerging forces who planned to stir up the storm all wanted to get a piece of the pie when the Japanese army withdrew.

However, in the land of eastern Jindong, the influence of the New 33rd Army is still great, and the New 33rd Army is now a strong brand, and not many people dare to touch the brows of the New 33rd Army.

However, in other chaotic areas, out of the control of the New 33rd Army, various forces are mixed, except for the local people, those who only have some weapons in their hands do not buy the accounts of the New 33rd Army.

……

In an unknown small village in Jinzhong, the whole village is surrounding an altar, the bottom of the altar is full of firewood, the people are muttering some language that outsiders do not understand, in the middle of the firewood there are two pairs of boys and girls crying, but this group of people do not pay attention to these two children at all.

"The Jade Emperor sent me to the mortal world to save your poverty, as long as you worship under my door, you will definitely be protected by the Jade Emperor and 100,000 heavenly soldiers, and you don't have to worry about the little devils coming to harm us......"

A man in a black robe stood around the altar with a few men, with something in his mouth, in order to deceive these ignorant people, the black robe weaved a whole set of lies for himself, he was a civil servant of a certain cause in the heavenly court, he came on behalf of the Jade Emperor, and when he saw the suffering of the world, he would lead the people to warmth and light. However, in order to show their sincerity, two pairs of boys and girls had to be sacrificed to the Jade Emperor.

The black robe took the torch from his men, and he once again announced to the people that they were not dead, but had gone to serve the Jade Emperor.

After a moment of silence, the black robe threw the torch in his hand towards the fire, the firewood was lit, and the screams continued to be heard from the billowing smoke, and the people just looked at the scene in front of them indifferently, indifferent, they firmly believed that the four children were going to heaven.

"Bow down!"

Under the order of the black robe, hundreds of villagers knelt in front of him and kowtowed, as if the black robe was the master of everything in the world, and only the black robe could make them immune to all diseases, live a long life, and let them live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

The ashes dissipated in the wind, as if nothing had happened, only the afterglow confirmed that it was all true. After promising a lot of benefits to the villagers, the black-robed man took the only rations that the young people and people of the village had.

With this method, the black robe has recruited three or four hundred people, of course, in those places that are out of control, there are not only people like the black robe who are doing these things, sometimes a county can produce twenty or thirty such people who are confused by superstition.

They did not have the slightest judgment and simply followed their leader. Their leaders were under the banner of all kinds of fairy ghosts, and they were told to fight against other forces, and these young people had just put down their hoes, and they had never even trained before, and they began to kill for the first time.

Of course, there are people who can't do it, but such people will be hung up by their leader, and everyone under his command will be whipped as an example.

The small forces were swallowed up by the big forces, the big forces were swallowed up by the bigger forces, the ranks got bigger and bigger, and they needed more and more things, and they began to rob the shops, and such teams did not have any organizational discipline, and the things that the strong women did began to happen.

In the land of Jinzhong, there is only killing and fleeing, everything else has lost its meaning, this is not done by little devils, it is their own compatriots who attack those innocent people.

"How did this happen?"

A county town in Jinzhong is in a mess, the streets are full of things left behind after the people fled, the streets are depressed, there is no shadow of a person at all, the goods inside the shops on the street have already been emptied, only the empty houses are left, and they are more miserable than when the little devil came.

"Looking inside, I don't believe that there is not even a figure in one of the counties of Nuoda!" This person was a company commander of Hu Guoshan's guard battalion, and he came with three soldiers to reconnoiter the situation.
