Three days later.
Xu Qingfeng took a piece of data and went to Li Jin's room to find Li Jin.
"Company Commander, I did some calculations recently. If we recruit troops in the future, our training volume will not be the same as when training a special operations company.
In that case, we will need The amount of materials and money consumed is an astronomical figure," Xu Qingfeng said slowly.
If they want to train all the 1,500 people they recruit later to be as powerful as a special operations company, they can't afford it.
They cannot afford not to mention more than a thousand people, even five hundred people.
“Well, I know, so I’ll try to reduce the amount of training as much as possible, and I don’t want to make them as powerful as a special operations company.
But they must at least reach the level of special operations. Even one-third of the combat power." Li Jin nodded.
If the amount of training is reduced, the combat effectiveness of the new recruits will not be as good as that of the veterans, but as long as they have one-third of the combat effectiveness of the veterans, they will be much better than the Japanese.
In this way, commanding them to fight will not lead to heavy casualties. Of course, it is also necessary for them to cooperate well with each other, which is very important.
So, to reduce the amount of training, we need to make the cooperation between recruits more tacit.
"I think so too, so I think that the recruits' stabbing ability does not need to reach the level of veterans.
Reduce the training in this area so that they can improve their stabbing ability. At this time, it is enough to deal with two Japs at the same time and kill them. In this way, we can reduce the use of a lot of materials," Xu Qingfeng said.
Lunging training requires a lot of physical strength, which means they need to supplement enough nutrition and buy more meat.
As a result, the burden will be too great, so training in this area should be reduced and other abilities of the recruits should be increased.
"We must focus on the recruits' marksmanship. More accurate marksmanship can also reduce the casualties of the recruits." Li Jin said.
He wants the recruits to fight with bayonets as little as possible and avoid close combat unless the number of Japanese is greater than theirs.
"Yes." Xu Qingfeng nodded and continued, "The subsequent recruitment is actually very difficult for us. We have recruited all the soldiers that can be recruited from nearby villages.
p>Unless the recruitment age is lowered to fourteen, we will basically not be able to recruit suitable recruits nearby."
"No, I don't care about other armies, but our army. , You can't lower your age to such a low level." Li Jin directly denied it.
In his opinion, fourteen-year-old soldiers are just children. It is not appropriate for them to carry guns and fight. In fact, let alone fourteen-year-olds, even sixteen-year-olds feel young to him.
But there is no way. Most of the soldiers in the special operations battalion are in this age group and have to be recruited. Otherwise, there will not be enough people.
"Then we will have to go to villages further away to recruit troops. I am wondering whether we should go to the country to recruit troops.The army still held the place where troops were recruited. "Xu Qingfeng hesitated and said.
It is relatively safer to recruit troops in the territory of the national army, but if so, he is worried that the two sides will conflict over the recruitment, which will make the matter worse. At that time, for Li Jin, There will also be trouble.
"If you go there to recruit troops, you will easily get into trouble. After all, we have a cooperative relationship with the other party. If there is a dispute over the recruitment of troops,
even both sides will fight. Get up, it will be very troublesome then. "Li Jin said.
He is not afraid of a fight. After all, even the devils can't defeat him. But the problem is that the national army is not the devil, and it is possible that they will kill him.
Moreover, if he ran to the National Army's defensive territory without saying hello, he would be more likely to get into trouble if he was discovered. Therefore, Li Jin did not want to go to the National Army's territory to recruit troops unless he had to.
"If this doesn't work, we can only recruit troops to the Japanese defense area, but the risk is also a bit high, and it is more troublesome. "Xu Qingfeng said.
No one in the village over the Japs defense zone dares to join the army. Once discovered by the Japs, the entire village will probably be massacred.
Even if If someone agrees to join the army, it is also a problem to bring the recruits back safely. At least dozens of soldiers must be dispatched to escort them. Otherwise, the number of soldiers will be small and they will not be able to protect the recruits.
"His, this mission seems to be really real. It’s not easy to handle. "Li Jin took a breath. This was the first time that he felt that recruiting soldiers here was so troublesome.
When recruiting soldiers in Wujia Village before, the villagers were quite willing to let their children join the army, even from afar. Some villages are also willing to let their children join the army.
But the problem is that the villages that can recruit soldiers have all been recruited by them, and there are no more soldiers. Is it really necessary to lower the recruitment age?
The conscription age cannot be lowered to 16 years old. This is his bottom line.
“Let’s try it first. Go to the villages over the Japanese defense zone and escort anyone there who is willing to join the army. , If not,
then we can only recruit troops from the territory of the national army. I don’t know if they still have soldiers of sufficient age. "Li Jin sighed.
It is expected that the villagers in the defense area are unwilling to join the army. After all, no one wants to bring disaster to the entire village.
And even if there are some who want to join the army, I am afraid that people in the same village will report him to the Japanese. There is no way. Human nature is like this. He will do anything for himself.
But Li Jin has no intention of blaming them if he puts himself in their shoes. , I’m afraid they will do this.
It’s none of my business. I just want my family to be safe. If you want to harm us, I’ll kill you first.
“I can only try. Tried it. "Xu Qingfeng said.
"By the way, during the recruitment, those who join the army must not tell anyone when they leave the village, so as not to cause trouble. "Li Jin warned.
"Don't worry, I will tell them. "Xu Qingfeng nodded. For the sake of safety, he had to be cautious.It's better to do this, after all, if you are not careful, the whole village will be affected.
"How about we ask the regiment leader for some soldiers?" Xu Qingfeng said. Don't the regiment commander still have many recruits with no combat experience?
"It's not like you don't know the situation of the New Regiment. When we went to Wuhan, the total number of casualties was 700 to 800. This is already a huge casualty.
If it were another The new regiment we formed before was immediately abolished. Let’s go to the regiment leader and ask for soldiers. Do you think it’s appropriate?” Li Jin sighed.
If he could find someone from Li Yunlong, he would have done so long ago. The key is that Li Yunlong’s side is also difficult.
There are a lot fewer soldiers with combat experience. Now we are counting on those new soldiers to grow up and fill the gap.
If he asks for people, Li Yunlong will definitely give them to him, but it will become more difficult to form a new regiment, and then it will be difficult to recruit soldiers.
"That's true." Xu Qingfeng sighed. Their position was somewhat awkward and there were not enough soldiers.
"That's not right, our company commander, no, there seems to be some villages in the base area where the battalion commander has not recruited soldiers." Xu Qingfeng suddenly reacted.
The location of Zhang Dabiao's side is very good. Many villages are not in the Japanese defense zone, so when the first battalion recruits troops, it is always faster than others.
"Tsk, that's not appropriate." Li Jin shook his head. The First Battalion also lost a lot of people when they went to Wuhan this time. It is estimated that the villages that did not recruit soldiers have already been recruited, and it will not be their turn. .
"Oh, it's really difficult." Xu Qingfeng sighed, why is this soldier so difficult to recruit?
"Let's recruit troops as far away as possible from a safer village. Although it will take a long time, at least it will be safer and we can recruit people." Li Jin thought for a while and said.
This is the only way now. If you waste time, waste time. The most important thing is to recruit troops.
The special operations battalion is now an officer. How can it be done without a single soldier? How can it be done without soldiers?
"Yeah" Xu Qingfeng nodded and then asked, "Have you come up with a new training method?"
He knew that Li Jin had been doing this these days, so he wanted to Do you know if Li Jin has done it?
"There is a lot to write, and it will probably take another day and a half." Li Jin said.
The main reason is that the training method I wrote before is not suitable for the current one, and I have to do it again, which is very difficult.
Moreover, the number of companies in the special operations battalion cannot be counted as a company. They are almost catching up with the battalion. Instead of two or three companies, there are nine companies, so there are more things to get. .
"Well, then you go ahead. I have to see how the materials are distributed so that the subsequent recruit training can keep up." Xu Qingfeng nodded and then left the room.
Two days later, at around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jin finally figured out the training method.
"Finally done, I'm exhausted." Li Jin rubbed his sore neck. He hadn't raised his head much in the past few days. Apart from eating, drinking, and sleeping, he basically didn't do anything.Bendu sat on the chair.
Writing these things is much more tiring than fighting the Japanese. Fighting the Japanese is not that tiring, but it is worth all the hard work.
As long as the recruits are recruited and trained according to the plan, there will be no big problem. Although the new recruits cannot be as strong as the special operations company, it is enough.
At this time, in the meeting room of the brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander is looking at the application note from the 771st Regiment.
The 771st Regiment is full and needs more military uniforms.
"Everyone regards me as a rich man, and they ask for five hundred sets of military uniforms." The brigade commander became helpless.
"The 771st Regiment is indeed a bit difficult. It was difficult to recruit all the people before, but in the blink of an eye, it received a combat mission, with many casualties, and it had to recruit people again." The political commissar on the side said.
In comparison, the 771st Regiment is considered the most difficult regiment of the 386th Brigade.
"There was nothing we could do at the time. Only the 771st Regiment could get to the designated location as quickly as possible, otherwise the besieging Japanese would escape." said the brigade commander.
At that time, other brigades were ambushing the Japanese, but due to some minor problems, they failed to block the Japanese and allowed the Japanese to escape.
Later, the 771st Regiment was asked to block the attack. The 771st Regiment simply arrived in time and blocked the Japanese again and prevented them from escaping.
But the newly recruited 771st Regiment also suffered heavy casualties.
"Yes, they did make great contributions at that time, so in terms of military uniforms, I will give you as many sets as you can." The political commissar said.
"Well, but five hundred military uniforms is still too many. I will change it a little." The brigade commander nodded and changed the number of military uniforms from five hundred to three hundred.
Then someone would take the approval slip and give it to the people from the 771st Regiment who were waiting outside to go to the logistics department to get their military uniforms.
At this moment, a communications soldier hurriedly ran in.
"Brigade Commander, the boss has called and wants you to go over and listen immediately." said the communications soldier.
As soon as the brigade commander heard the tone of the communications soldier, he immediately knew that the boss might be in a hurry. He immediately got up and ran to the communications room.
"Hey, boss, what happened?"
"There was a Japanese army of about 500 people who quietly ran into the territory of the Jinsui Army five days ago. , but the people of the Jinsui Army knew about it in advance and set up an ambush.
However, because they did not cooperate well, they did not eliminate this group of Japs. Instead, they allowed more than 200 Japs to escape.
Judging from the information they gave us, the Japs are most likely running towards Wujiacun, which is where Li Jin is based.
You should immediately ask Li Jin to lead the special battle company. Let's go and let them stop this group of devils. It's best to capture as many prisoners as possible." The boss told the situation in one breath.
"Understood, I will send a telegram to Li Jin immediately," the brigade commander said.
"Okay, go quickly, don't let these devils escape." The boss said.
"Yes" the brigade commander nodded, and then the boss hung up the phone.
At this time, the political commissar also walked in.
"Brigadier, what happened?" the political commissar asked.
"I don't have time to tell you now." The brigade commander came to the telegraph operator and then wrote a telegram asking Li Jin to set out to stop the enemy and capture prisoners.
"Send the telegram to Li Jin of the special operations company immediately." The brigade commander ordered.
"Yes" The telegraph operator did not dare to delay and immediately started sending the telegram.
"Political Commissar, let's go out and talk." The brigade commander walked out of the communications room, with the Political Commissar following behind him.
"What happened? What did the boss say?" the political commissar asked.
"The situation is like this." The brigade commander told the political commissar everything the boss said.
"Damn it, how could these devils come to the territory where the Jinsui Army is located? What do they want to do?" The political commissar looked confused.
Furthermore, judging from the information given by the boss, it seems that the Japs were attacked and did not ask for reinforcements. What happened?
"I don't know, but I don't know whether I should say they were lucky. Well, it's unlucky that he actually ran towards Li Jin," the brigade commander suddenly said happily.
This group of devils might be able to escape if they ran in another direction, but the other party was determined to run to Wujiacun.
That is Li Jin’s territory.
"Indeed, the Japanese will be in bad luck." The political commissar also smiled.
"Tsk, it's broken." The brigade commander suddenly thought of something. He forgot to tell Li Jin how many prisoners he had captured.
According to the boss's point of view, the more the better, even more for all prisoners, but capturing them all is risky, so the boss still wants Li Jin to capture as many as he can.
"What's wrong?" The political commissar was stunned.
"I have to tell Li Jin how many prisoners to capture, otherwise this guy will probably only capture a few prisoners." The brigade commander said, turned around and entered the communication room, and then asked the telegraph operator to supplement Li Jin's number. Send a telegram.
The brigade commander knew that with Li Jin’s temperament, it was impossible to capture too many prisoners, so he had to tell Li Jin clearly how many prisoners to capture.
With Li Jin's ability, he was absolutely sure to capture all the Japs, but the brigade commander didn't want so many prisoners, and it was the boss who asked for it.
After asking the telegraph operator to resend the telegram, the brigade commander breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, Brigadier, you were able to reissue it in time. If it had been issued later, Li Jin would probably have pretended not to see it." The political commissar said with a smile. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
