The next morning, Li Qing walked into the camp where the puppet army was imprisoned and brought the leader of the puppet army into the regiment headquarters.

"Sit down! I'm going to talk to you today! Li Qing said.

"Just ask, sir!" The leader of the puppet army replied, and sat down in his chair.

"How many years have you been a puppet soldier?" Li Qing asked.

"It's been two years!" The leader of the puppet army replied.

"You kid is so willing to help the devils beat us Chinese! This is unconscionable! As a Chinese, when a foreign enemy invaded, not only did not pick up a gun to fight against it, but also helped the Japanese and beat the Chinese! Think about it, you kid, I don't think you won't understand it! Li Qing said to the leader of the puppet army.

Hearing this, the leader of the puppet army burst into tears.

"Hehe, you kid are still crying? I feel wronged! Helping the Japanese fight the Chinese, are you still wronged? Li Qing asked with a sneer.

"If you had allowed me to tell my story, you wouldn't have said that!" The leader of the puppet army said.

"Your story? All right! I'm going to hear how you got on the path of a traitor! Li Qing said.

"Two years ago, I went to the market with my mother, and when I came back, I met a large group of devils, who were only 7 or 8 meters away at the time, and they were immediately targeted by the devils, who ran to me and told me to follow them and serve their imperial army. Who would want to do this! At that time, I didn't want to, the devil slapped me, but I still didn't want to. When the devil saw that I was unwilling, he threw the butt of his rifle at my mother's head, and my mother fainted and fell to the ground in no time. The devil continued to kick my mother. I slammed him into a fight, and then two more devils came and pushed me to the ground and slapped me several times. The devil I knocked out got up and continued to beat my mother, saying that if I didn't follow them, my mother would be killed! I was forced to agree! So he walked into the puppet barracks and became a puppet army. If it weren't for my mother, who would want to be a traitor to the devils! The leader of the puppet army replied, and as he spoke, tears came out of his eyes.

Li Qing listened, his eyes couldn't help but leave two lines of tears, reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then said calmly: "You kid is still a filial son!" Would you like to take your people with me? I'll take you to fight devils! ”

"Sir, are you telling the truth?" The leader of the puppet army said happily.

"Of course it's true, but your team must be split up and assigned to the battalions!" Li Qing said.

"Hehe, as long as I can fight devils and wash out the infamy of this traitor, then I am willing!" The leader of the puppet army said.

"It's just that you're going to be an ordinary warrior!" Li Qing said.

"As long as I can wash away the stigma of these brothers, I don't care about that!" The leader of the puppet army replied.

"That's good, but you can't go to the enemy again!" Li Qing said solemnly.

"Rest assured, I will never do anything against my conscience again! Because I don't want to be a traitor anymore! The leader of the puppet army replied.

Li Qing patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then said to him, "How good it would have been if you had done this earlier!" This is the right way! ”。

"How many more men do you have!" Li Qing then asked.

"I was ambushed by you, and now I only have 1,000 people left!" The leader of the puppet army replied.

So, Li Qing gathered all the puppet soldiers that afternoon.

When they all arrived, Li Qing said loudly: "You are all fucking Chinese, helping the devils fight the Chinese, don't you feel guilty?" ”

Hearing this, the puppet soldiers lowered their heads all of a sudden, and they were speechless one by one.

"Now, you have two choices, one is to die, the other is to stay, are you willing to stay in our team to fight devils?" Li Qing asked.

"I do! I do! Hearing this, they hurriedly shouted.

"Well, since you are willing to stay, then you must obey our arrangement, and you can no longer be as casual and free as when you were a puppet army for the devils. There is strict discipline in our team! Li Qing said sharply.

"Will you obey?" The leader of the puppet army asked.

"If you give us a way to live, we will obey!" A puppet soldier said.

"Okay, then I'll give you a way out, you are divided into 5 teams, each team has 200 people, and the battalion commanders of each battalion and the battalion commanders directly under the regiment will choose, are you willing?" Li Qing asked.

"Can you not split it!" The puppet soldier just now asked.

"Yes! Die! I just told you about the way of life, if you don't want to take this road, you choose to die, of course, if you take this road, I won't stop you! Are you really going to die? Li Qing asked.

"I'm ......" The puppet army was speechless for a moment.

Li Qing then asked to the other ** voices: "Do you have any objections?" ”

"No more!" The crowd said.

"Let's start choosing!" Li Qing commanded.

So Yonghang took the lead in rushing into the middle of this group of puppet soldiers and carefully selected them. The commanders of the other battalions also followed in, and after some selection, each battalion selected the soldiers they were satisfied with, and the puppet army was quickly separated.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Qing summoned the battalion commanders of each battalion and the battalion commanders directly under the regiment for a meeting.

After everyone arrived, Li Qing said to them: "After these puppet soldiers are assigned to your battalion, you have to tolerate their little mistakes, they are puppet soldiers before, and they are used to doing these bad things, if you find out, stop them immediately, I believe you can lead this group of soldiers!" ”

"Hey! To be honest, I really don't want these traitors! Yi Yang complained.

"Don't discriminate against them! Those who are traitors have a hard time! Who wants to be a traitor for no reason! As long as they want to change themselves, then we should give them a chance, you know, as long as it is an armed force, then we must find a way to absorb it! Strengthen our strength and use it as a bargaining chip against the devils! Li Qing said.

"That's what the big brother said! If we give these puppets a chance and don't kill them, then they will work for us, as the saying goes! The grace of not killing is a great grace! Yonghang said.

"Yes! Yi Yang, you should give these people a chance, I also believe that they can change themselves! Yan'er said.

"Well, since you all say so, then I'll take it! You are right, since they are Chinese, they should have a conscience! Yi Yang said.

"That's right, we've also received puppet soldiers before, didn't we also give them a chance! Do you have the confidence to lead these puppet soldiers this time, let them integrate into our ranks, and become a new force against Japan! Li Qing asked.

"Have faith!" Everyone responded in unison.

Sure enough, as Li Qing expected, this group of puppet soldiers finally got rid of some bad habits in the puppet barracks after many brainwashes by various battalion commanders, slowly adapted to the new way of life, and successfully integrated into the team of the three regiments after a few months, becoming a group of fresh blood of the three regiments.
