Chapter Eleven Reflection

  Zhang Yun Tian took a sip of water and continued: "However, we still face enormous difficulties and have made many mistakes. The masses have not been deeply mobilized, and many people do not believe in our party or military. Many people are resentful of the Japanese devils, but more are afraid of them. They fear that the tragic cases of villages being slaughtered will be repeated on their own bodies. These people are still the majority, and many are unaware of the consequences of collaborating with the enemy. They think that becoming a traitor or a puppet soldier is just a job, and as long as they can eat meat and noodles every month, they are content. They have forgotten that their compatriots are still being bullied, and once they gain some benefits, they forget what country they belong to. Many people think our country has been lost, and the world below belongs to the Japanese. These thoughts are still deeply hidden among our masses. This kind of thinking is unacceptable. From now on, our main task is to shift from focusing on military attacks to deeply mobilizing the masses, making everyone understand the harm of losing one's country and the glory of being a citizen. This is also in line with the spirit of the Central Committee's document on uniting the people. I hope everyone will actively find reasons and think of ways to make our mass work reach every corner of each base area, creating a situation where the Japanese devils are trapped in a sea of war, making every village and every place a nightmare for them!" As soon as Zhang Yun Tian finished speaking, the crowd erupted into applause. Everyone was deeply inspired by the Central Committee's spirit, exchanging excited glances with one another.

  Zhang Yun Tian continued: "Next, we also need to talk about our mistakes. When it comes to mistakes, we must give serious criticism to Comrade Chen Jian. Previously, he had no organizational discipline and took unauthorized actions, killing the family members of a traitor without permission, which led to large-scale retaliation by the Japanese puppet army and seriously damaged the reputation of our People's Unity Party. Many people have serious doubts about our party's ability to establish a society without oppression or exploitation.

  Especially in his actions, he arbitrarily killed the partner of Lei Er Zhuang in Tongcheng, which was extremely vicious and irresponsible. Finally, we must also say that during the rescue action for the villagers of Tongluo Village, Comrade Chen Jian again acted impulsively and blindly, almost causing serious losses to our troops and our party's cause. This point also requires Comrade Chen Jian to have a clear understanding.

  Therefore, I represent the People's Unity Party Tongcheng Wu Gong Team Party Branch to give a warning punishment to Comrade Chen Jian for his mistakes. In past struggles, Comrade Chen Jian was able to correct his position in time and make timely corrections to his mistakes, and he also did a lot of solid work. We still need to fully trust Comrade Chen Jian, and everyone should not have doubts, but rather follow Comrade Chen Jian's command and believe that he can learn from his mistakes and continue to lead us in eliminating the Japanese devils."

  After finishing speaking, he looked deeply at Chen Jian for a moment, ending his speech.

  Chen Jian stood up, bowed deeply to everyone and said: "Thank the Party for criticizing me, thank Comrade Zhang Yun Tian for his help, thank comrades for trusting me. I will strive to correct my mistakes, learn from them in a timely manner, and work hard to regain the trust of comrades as soon as possible. With practical actions, I will gain everyone's support. Please wait and see, and please continue to cooperate with each other at work. Let us continue to fight for the cause of our Party together, striving to build a new society without oppression and exploitation." He ended his speech with a solemn military salute. The comrades responded with enthusiastic applause, encouragement, and trust.

  The Fisherman's Liuli Four People's Party guerrilla team is also making arrangements for their future activities. Hongwen Kuan and Qiong Wulong are explaining some issues to everyone while pointing at the map. This guerrilla team was specially selected by the Central Committee of the Four People's Party due to the Japanese devils' crazy attack, which gave them a headache. The team is led by personnel with rich combat experience, political work, and strong cadres who secretly carry out their work in civilian disguise. Their main task is to launch large-scale harassment against the Japanese devils' rear supply lines, important transportation lines, and concentrated sources of troops and materials, creating opportunities for the front line, striking at the enemy's support capabilities, and competing to tie up the enemy's forces, thereby reducing pressure on the front line. For this purpose, the Four People's Party sent out a large number of guerrilla teams to infiltrate the enemy's rear and carry out movements.

  So although Qiong Wu Long and Hong Wen Kuan had just led their troops to arrive here, the Tongcheng military station was actually destroyed, and the credit was recorded on the head of the Simin Party. In this situation, the Simin Party directly issued a commendation order in the form of a national announcement, giving people encouragement in the tense anti-Japanese work. It's not surprising then.

  Hongwen pointed to the map on the table: "Tongcheng is located at the junction of the northern plain and the central plain, with a very important geographical location, it is a strategic passage, and it is also an important material supply place for the ghost attack. There is a mountain range 100 kilometers behind it, which is a remnant of the Xuanwu Mountain Range, following the mountain trend can reach Xuanwu Mountain. This place is very suitable for us to carry out our work."

  Qiong Wu Long nodded in agreement, "That's right. Some time ago, the devils carried out a big massacre, and many ordinary people are deeply afraid of them. They day and night hope that the country's army can come to rescue them. And didn't we hear a few days ago that our Fourth People's Party guerrilla troops attacked the devil's military supply station? We can take advantage of this rumor, and it just so happens that we really are the Fourth People's Party's guerrilla troops - this is the real deal."

  "Haha" The surrounding team members burst into laughter, they are indeed genuine and authentic guerrillas, but the great credit mentioned earlier was not theirs. What the captain said is really true.

  Qiong Wu Long waved his hand and continued, "Since we've come all this way, we must strive to gain a foothold. We can't just do nothing and be chased away by the devils. First, let's find a place to settle down. Although the current Fisherman's Wharf is not bad, it's still a bit small. It would be difficult to fit in all of you strong dragons."

  Everyone burst out laughing, this captain was indeed very humorous and always managed to bring ease to everyone during battles, so it was rare to feel tense in front of him. Hong Wenkuang couldn't help but smile wryly, Captain Qiao always left people crying and laughing at the same time. Fortunately, he had earned everyone's trust, and during battles, he was extremely decisive, often able to exchange minimal losses for maximum victories, making him an outstanding commander. Being able to partner with him was a fortunate thing.
