It was almost evening before Li Jin and the others rushed back to Sunjiacun.
As soon as they returned to Sunjiacun, they immediately asked people to put cotton-padded clothes and trousers in the village warehouse, and then asked the soldiers to pick up a quilt and return to their base.
Around seven o'clock.
In Wu Meng’s room.
The charcoal in the brazier was red, reflecting the faces of Wu Meng, Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng.
They have all put on cotton-padded clothes and trousers at this moment.
"Battle Commander Li, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known where to find quilts to cover the soldiers. Now it's better. Not only are quilts available, but also cotton-padded clothes and trousers." Yes." Wu Meng smiled happily.
He has been almost annoyed to death because of the cotton issue these days, but now that all the problems have been solved, how can he be unhappy?
"Nothing." Li Jin also smiled.
He was also very happy to be able to help Wu Meng.
"Battle Commander Li, I found that your men seem to be very powerful. Do you have any special training methods?" Wu Meng asked.
When they were ambushing in the canyon, most of his men fired, but on Li Jin's side, only a dozen or twenty people fired. The key is that their marksmanship is very accurate. The dead Japs are dead. Most of them were killed by soldiers from the special operations battalion.
Hearing this, Li Jin smiled and said, "There are indeed special training methods, but they are not suitable for you."
"Yes, I feel that your people are stronger than the Japanese." ." Wu Meng said.
When he first saw the soldiers in the special operations camp, he thought they were Japanese disguised as Japanese soldiers. If not for the fact that the soldiers in the special operations camp were all taller than Japanese soldiers, he really thought they were Japanese soldiers.
"By the way, you sent people over to Wangjia Village?" Li Jin asked. It would be better to resolve the issue of establishing a base as soon as possible.
"I have sent people over. There is no news yet, but I estimate that it can be done." Wu Meng said.
If it failed, the people from the Wu Meng faction would have come back long ago. After all, their people were kicked out by the village chief without even talking to each other.
After hearing this, Li Jin nodded. Although the main purpose of coming here this time was to help establish more base areas, it would also be good to deal with those villages that did not agree with the establishment of base areas by the Eighth Route Army. .
After all, only by building a good relationship with the people can the Eighth Route Army develop better, which is why the Eighth Route Army won in the end.
Although the national army also resisted Japan, it was extremely corrupt internally, with corruption and bribery everywhere. Not to mention having a good relationship with the people, it would be nice not to exploit them.
Of course, you can't kill a whole boat of people with one stick. Many senior officers also think about the people, such as General Xue, who created the Tianlu warfare method.
"Old Wu, I'm back." Just when Wu Meng wanted to speak, a voice came from outside, and then he heard hurried footsteps in the yard.
"Hey, this kid is back." Wu Meng was happy, and he quickly stood up and went to open the door. As a result, the door was pushed open before he could reach the door.
A young soldier wearing a gray military uniform walked in. He shook the snowflakes off his body, and when he saw Uncle Wu, he quickly said, "The matter is done."
"Haha Haha, okay, good job." Uncle Wu laughed and stepped forward, hugged the young soldier, and then let go. He looked at the young man up and down and said, "Nothing happened."
"No." The young man smiled.
"Stop standing, sit down quickly." Li Jin said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, sit down quickly." Wu Meng quickly pulled the young man to sit down, and then said, "Tell me everything about the situation."
"Okay." The young warrior nodded and said, "It went very well this time. The reason why I came back so late this time was because I was stayed by the village chiefs of several villages for dinner.
At the dinner table, they all agreed that we should be here They have established a base in the village."
After saying this, the young man smiled. He did not expect it to be so smooth this time. Wu Meng told him that the matter was resolved.
Let He hurriedly went to talk to the village chiefs of those villages about establishing base areas. He thought Uncle Wu was trying to trick him.
Unexpectedly, wherever he went, the village chiefs of several villages expressed He was very enthusiastic and immediately agreed to the Eighth Route Army establishing a base in the village.
"However, they also have a request." The young man said, hesitantly.
"What are the requirements?" Uncle Wu asked.
"They gave us some guns, and then asked us to help them train some villagers to prevent the Eighth Route Army from being in the village in the future.
The villagers in their village can also protect the village. I haven't Answer them." the young man said.
Although they have established a base in the village, it does not mean that they will protect them in the village in the future. After all, the revolutionary bricks will be moved wherever they are needed.
So, several village chiefs made this request.
"However, even if we don't agree, they will let us establish a base. This requirement is only incidental." The young man continued.
When Uncle Wu heard this, he frowned. He was not a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, but he had to distribute guns. This was against the rules.
Moreover, regardless of whether they agreed or not, the village chiefs of those villages agreed to let them establish base areas, so there was no need to allocate more guns.
"Captain Li, what do you think?" Uncle Wu looked at Li Jin. He wanted to hear what Li Jin had to say.
In the room, the charcoal in the brazier burned red, and wisps of white smoke rose slowly, and the smell was a bit pungent.
When Wu Meng looked at Li Jin, everyone else also looked at Li Jin.
Li Jin touched his nose and frowned. Apparently, he was also thinking about whether to distribute guns to the villagers.
To be honest, people who are not under the name of the Eighth Route Army should be asked to distribute guns to the villagers. If heThey left, what if the villagers who got the guns used it to bully men and dominate women?
It may even evolve into a third-party force on the Chinese battlefield. Although the chance is very small, it is not ruled out. A capable person can do it.
Such a risk is too great, but Mr. Wang said that they are not allowed to recruit soldiers in the village, even militiamen. In this way, they have no reason to distribute guns.
Unless the villagers in those villages are willing to join the militia. < /p>
If they are willing to join the militia or the Eighth Route Army, they can be assigned guns, so that they can refuse without going too far."
"Yes. , Just do as you say." Uncle Wu nodded. After all, Li Jin had said before that the village chiefs of those villages did not want the Eighth Route Army to recruit troops in the village. In this case, they could not be blamed for not allocating guns.
“Speaking of which, what on earth is going on? Why did the village chiefs of those villages agree to us establishing a base there?
I don’t know where to go. How many times have we tried, but they were kicked out every time? Why did they agree this time?
Old Wu, how did you do it?" the young soldier asked.
He was worried about those villages that did not agree with the establishment of the Eighth Route Army's base area. Unexpectedly, Uncle Wu solved the problem directly, which of course made him feel strange.
"Tang Xuan, this has nothing to do with me. It was Battalion Commander Li who solved this problem. Just ask Company Commander Lin how to solve it." Wu Meng smiled and said to the young soldier, and then He looked at Li Jin again and said.
"Ah, Battalion Commander Li." The young soldier was a little confused. To be honest, he had wanted to ask who Li Jin was since he first came in.
He knew Xu Qingfeng and Liu Changshun, but he had never met Li Jin.
After all, when Li Jin was in the village, he happened to go out on a mission, and When he came back, Li Jin had left, so he didn't know Li Jin at all.
Moreover, he always thought that Xu Qingfeng was the commander of the special operations battalion, but he did not expect that the battalion commander was someone else.
"Haha, yes, this matter was solved by Battalion Commander Li. You were not here when he came. When you came back, he went out to solve the matter." Uncle Wu said with a smile.
"So that's it." Tang Xuan nodded, he stood up and stretched out his hand to Li Jin, and at the same time said, "My name is Tang Xuan, I am a company commander."
Li Jin Seeing this, he quickly stood up, stretched out his hand to hold Tang Xuan's hand, and said, "My name is Li Jin, commander of the special operations battalion. Nice to meet you."
After the two exchanged a few words, they sat down again. When he got down, Tang Xuan asked, "Captain Li, can you tell me how you solved this problem and what the problem was?"
"How can I say that I solved this problem by luck?" All right."Li Jin then told everything about his trip to Wangjiacun.
At the end of the sentence, he sighed softly and said, "Mr. Wang is also a poor man. His eldest son died fighting the Japanese, but his two younger sons are fighting for his eldest son's inheritance. Alas."
p>"Hmph, if I were such a son, I would have to beat them to death." Liu Changshun snorted coldly.
As soon as the words came out, several people nodded in agreement.
"I estimate that Mr. Wang may not want his son to go to war.
That's why he won't let us establish a base area because he is worried that we will recruit his son. Go fight." Wu Meng said.
Losing a son in old age is indeed very sad, so much so that Mr. Wang no longer wants to experience it.
"Alas, we can only help Mr. Wang more." Xu Qingfeng sighed lightly.
Li Jin became silent and thought about many things.
At the back, when it was almost eight o'clock, Li Jin, Xu Qingfeng and the others left Sunjiacun.
Not long after, Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng went to Liujia Village, which was about seven or eight miles away from Sunjia Village.
This is one of the bases that Xu Qingfeng has established in the past few days, and it is also where their headquarters is located.
At this time, the villagers in Liujia Village had already fallen asleep. When Li Jin and others came over, they did not dare to make any big noise except for alerting the sentries who were watching outside.
"Batalion Commander, go this way." Xu Qingfeng walked in the village, turning around and whispering to Li Jin from time to time.
Soon, Xu Qingfeng led Li Jin into a courtyard to the west.
At half past five the next morning, Li Jin got up early. It was still dark, and the sound of roosters crowing came from the village from time to time.
He opened the door and walked into the yard. The yard was filled with white flowers and snow. At this time, there was still a fire in the kitchen.
Li Jin opened the kitchen door and walked in.
Xu Qingfeng was sitting on a chair and adding firewood to the stove from time to time.
"Batalion Commander, wake up." Xu Qingfeng said after seeing Li Jin coming in.
"Yes." Li Jin nodded, found a chair and sat down next to Xu Qingfeng.
"Batalion Commander, I have something to tell you." Xu Qingfeng said. He had not mentioned this matter before because Li Jin was not around.
"Hmm, what's the matter?" Li Jin asked doubtfully.
"I want to start recruiting soldiers in two days, what do you think?" Xu Qingfeng said. He has been wanting to recruit soldiers since he came here.
There is no way, there are too few people in the special operations camp. Although the combat power is strong, there are only a few people. If one dies, one will be missing. Of course he wants to increase his strength.
"This is your decision." Li Jin said, Xu Qingfeng can handle the matter of conscription.
"Okay, the recruitment will start in two days." Xu Qingfeng said.
"By the way, it's still the same sentence. People who can't find out the details don't want it. Do you understand?"Li Jin reminded me again.
Their troops are quite special, so it is better to recruit people who know the basics.
"Yes, I know." Xu Qingfeng nodded.
Two days later, Xu Qingfeng began to make a recruitment plan with great fanfare.
After several villagers in the base area learned that the Eighth Route Army was recruiting troops, they went to sign up without saying anything. In less than three days, more than 500 people signed up for Xu Qingfeng’s roster. .
It took another three days to check the information of the applicants. In the end, only 400 people were accepted, because among the 500 people, there were dozens of people who could not be checked. To be more specific, some are said to be refugees, and there are dozens of only children.
In the evening, around seven o'clock.
Xu Qingfeng, Liu Changshun and Zhao Ming returned to the yard, and Li Jin had already poured water for them. After they sat down, they poured the water in the bowl in a few mouthfuls without saying a word. Light.
"How about it? The recruitment went smoothly." Li Jin said.
"Huh, it went very smoothly. We recruited more than 500 people. However, there are many people whose details cannot be found out.
There are also many people who are only children, so , and finally recruited four hundred people," Xu Qingfeng took a deep breath and said.
"Well, under the current situation, recruiting four hundred people is enough." Li Jin nodded, now is the first phase of recruitment.
"Battal Commander, in my opinion, we can continue to recruit people. We have stopped recruiting these days.
But there are still many people signing up. You Didn't he say before that the brigade commander asked us to recruit more than a thousand people, but we have just arrived now?" Liu Changshun said.
In his opinion, the more troops the better, of course. Otherwise, when will his company be full? His company only has sixty or seventy people now, which is far from two hundred people.
"Xiao Liu, what you think is too simple. If I want to recruit people, it will not be simple. But have you ever thought about it? Our training level is much heavier than other Eighth Route fighters.
If there are too many people, it will be difficult to train. What I want is a group of elite soldiers similar to those of a special operations battalion, rather than uneven soldiers. Do you understand?
The only way is to train these soldiers. Four hundred people have been trained, and we are considering recruiting more people. We can't become fat in one go," Li Jin said.
Training is not that simple, and supplies are also a big problem. Buying supplies here is more troublesome than at the base.
"Tsk, I didn't think about it that much." Liu Changshun touched his head. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
