Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

It was almost evening when Li Jin and the others rushed back to Sunjiacun.

As soon as they returned to Sunjia Village, they immediately asked people to put cotton-padded clothes and trousers in the village warehouse, and then let the soldiers take a quilt by themselves 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 clothes and trousers at the moment.

"Li Battalion Commander, it's thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to find quilts to cover the soldiers. Now it's all over. Not only the quilts, but also the cotton clothes and trousers." Wu Meng smiled. Very happy.

These days, he is almost annoyed by the cotton thing, but now that all problems have been solved, how could he not be happy.

"Nothing." Li Jin also smiled.

He was also very happy to be able to help Wu Meng.

"Li Battalion Commander, I found that your subordinates seem to be very powerful. Do you have any special training methods?" Wu Meng asked.

When ambushing in the canyon, most of his men fired, but on Li Jin's side, only a dozen or 20 people shot. The key is that their marksmanship is very accurate. Most of the devils who died were soldiers from the Special Operations Battalion. killed.

Hearing this, Li Jin said with a smile: "There are indeed special training methods, but they are not suitable for you."

"Yes, I feel that your people are stronger than devils." Wu Meng said.

When he first saw the soldiers of the special warfare battalion, he thought they were ghosts in disguise. If not for the fact that the soldiers of the special warfare battalion were taller than the devils, he really thought they were devils.

"By the way, did you send someone over to Wang's Village?" Li Jin asked. It's better to settle the establishment of the base as soon as possible.

"I've already sent someone over, and there's no news yet, but I guess it should be done," Wu Meng said.

If it didn't work out, the people from Wu Meng's faction would have returned long ago. After all, before, their people were kicked out by the village chief without even talking about it.

After Li Jin heard this, he nodded. Although the main purpose of coming here this time is to help establish more base areas, it is also very good to be able to settle the few villages that disagree with the establishment of base areas by the Eighth Route.

After all, only by building a good relationship with the common people can Eight Roads develop better, which is why Eight Roads won in the end.

Although the national army also resisted the Japanese, it was extremely corrupt internally. Corruption and bribery abounded, not to mention building a good relationship with the common people.

Of course, one can't kill a whole boat of people with one stick. Many high-ranking military officers are also considerate of the common people. For example, General Xue, who created the Tianlu method of warfare.

"Old Wu, I'm back." Just as Wu Meng was about to speak, a voice came from outside, and then hurried footsteps came from the yard.

"Hey, this kid is back." Wu Meng was delighted, got up quickly, and was about to open the door, but before he reached the door, the door was pushed open.

A young soldier in a gray military uniform walked in. He shook the snowflakes off his body, and when he saw Uncle Wu, he quickly said, "It's done."

"Hahaha, good, good job." Uncle Wu laughed and stepped forward, hugged the young soldier, and then let go. He looked the young man up and down, and said, "No accident, right?"

"No." The young man smiled.

"Stop standing, sit down quickly." Li Jin said with a smile.

"Yes yes yes, sit down quickly." Wu Meng hurriedly pulled the young man to sit down, and then said: "Tell me about the situation."

"Okay." The young soldier nodded and said, "This time, it went well. I came back so late this time because I was stayed by the village chiefs for dinner.
At the dinner table, they all agreed that we should establish a base in their village. "

Speaking of this, the young man smiled. He didn't expect it to be so smooth this time. Wu Meng told him that the matter was resolved.
Tell him to hurry up and talk to the village heads of those villages about the establishment of base areas. He thought that Uncle Wu was framing him.

Unexpectedly, wherever he went, the village chiefs of several villages were very enthusiastic, and immediately agreed with Balu to establish a base in the village.

"However, they also have a request." The young man hesitated when he said this.

"What request?" Uncle Wu asked.

"They asked us to provide some guns, and then asked us to help them train some villagers to prevent Balu from leaving the village in the future,

The villagers in their village can also protect the village, I haven't answered them yet. " said the young man.

Although they have established a base in the village, it does not mean that they will be protected in the village in the future. After all, the revolutionary bricks are moved wherever they are needed.

Therefore, several village chiefs made this request.

"However, even if we disagree, they will let us establish a base. This request is only incidental." The young man continued.

When Uncle Wu heard this, he frowned. He was not a soldier of the Eighth Route, but he had to allocate guns to them. This was not in compliance with 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 distribute more guns.

"Li Battalion Commander, 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 of the brazier was burning red, and wisps of white smoke slowly rose, and the smell was a bit pungent.

When Wu Meng looked at Li Jin, the others also looked at Li Jin.

Li Jin touched his nose and frowned. Obviously, he was also thinking about distributing guns to the villagers.

To be honest, those who are not under the name of Eight Roads have to ask them to distribute guns to the villagers. If they leave in the future, what if the villagers who get the guns use it to bully men and women?
It may even evolve into a third-party force on the Chinese battlefield. Although the probability is very small, it does not rule out that capable people can do it.

This kind of risk is too great, but the old man Wang said that they are not allowed to recruit soldiers in the village, even the militia, so they have no reason to distribute guns.

Unless the villagers in those villages are willing to join the militia.

Thinking of this, Li Jin said slowly: "I'd better refuse, and tell the village chiefs of those villages at the same time, saying that there are regulations in the Eighth Route Army that guns cannot be distributed to troops that do not belong to the Eighth Route Army.
If they are willing to join the militia, or the Eighth Route, then they can be assigned guns, so that they can refuse without talking too much. "

"Well, just do as you said." Uncle Wu nodded. After all, Li Jin said before that the village chiefs of those villages didn't want Balu to recruit soldiers in the village. In this way, they can't be blamed for not distributing guns.

"Speaking of which, what happened to this matter? Why did the village chiefs of those villages agree with us to establish a base there?

I don't know how many times I went there, but every time I was kicked out, why did they agree this time?

Old Wu, how did you do it? " asked the young soldier.

He was worried about those villages who disagreed with the establishment of the base of the Eighth Road, but he didn't expect that Uncle Wu would solve it directly, which of course made him feel strange.

"Tang Xuan, this has nothing to do with me. It is Battalion Commander Li who solved this matter. You can ask Company Commander Lin how to solve it." Wu Meng smiled and said to the young soldier, then looked at Li Jin and said.

"Huh? Battalion Commander Li?" The young soldier was a little confused. To be honest, he wanted to ask who Li Jin was when he first came in.

Xu Qingfeng and Liu Changshun, he knows these two, but he has never met Li Jin.

After all, when Li Jin was in the village, he just went out to perform a mission, and when he came back, Li Jin had already left, so he didn't know Li Jin at all.

Moreover, he always thought that Xu Qingfeng was the commander of the special warfare battalion, but he didn't expect that the battalion commander was someone else.

"Haha, yes, this matter was settled by Battalion Commander Li. You were not there when he came. When you came back, he went out to solve this matter." Uncle Wu laughed.

"So that's the case." Tang Xuan nodded, he stood up and stretched out his hand to Li Jin, and said at the same time: "My name is Tang Xuan, and I am a company commander."

Seeing this, Li Jin got up quickly, 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 pleasantries, they sat down again, and Tang Xuan asked: "Battlemaster Li, can you tell me how you solved this matter? What is the problem?"

"How should I say it? It's my luck to solve this matter." Li Jin then told all about his going to Wang's Village.

At the end, he sighed softly, and said: "This old man Wang is also a poor man. The eldest son died fighting a devil, but the two younger sons are fighting for the eldest son's inheritance. Sigh~~"

"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 guess, Mr. Wang may also not want his son to go to the battlefield.
That's why they didn't allow us to establish a base, because we were worried that we would recruit his son to fight. " Wu Meng said.

Losing a son in old age is indeed very sad, so that Mr. Wang doesn't want to go through it anymore.

"Oh, we can only help Mr. Wang more." Xu Qingfeng sighed softly.

Li Jin fell silent, thinking about a lot of things.

In 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 these days, and it is also where their headquarters is located.

At this time, the villagers of Liujia Village had already fallen asleep. When Li Jin and the others came over, they didn't dare to make any big noise except for alarming the sentry outside.

"Battalion 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 05:30 the next morning, Li Jin got up early. It was still dark at this time, and the sound of roosters crowing could be heard from the village from time to time.

He pushed open the door and walked into the yard. The yard was covered in white flowers and snow, and there was still a fire in the kitchen.

Li Jin pushed open the kitchen door and walked in.

Xu Qingfeng is sitting on a chair right now, adding firewood to the stove from time to time.

"Battalion Commander, wake up." Xu Qingfeng said after seeing Li Jin come in.

"En." Li Jin nodded, found a chair and sat down beside Xu Qingfeng.

"Battalion Commander, I have something to tell you." Xu Qingfeng said, because Li Jin was not around before, so he didn't talk about it.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Li Jin asked in confusion.

"I'm thinking about starting conscription in two days, what do you think?" Xu Qingfeng said, since he came here, he has always wanted to conscript.

There is no way, the special warfare battalion has too few people. Although the combat power is strong, but there are few people, every death means one less, of course he wants to strengthen his strength.

"It's up to you to decide." Li Jin said, Xu Qingfeng can handle the matter of conscription.

"That's fine, the conscription will start in two days." Xu Qingfeng said.

"By the way, it's the same sentence, people who can't find out the details, don't, do you understand?" Li Jin reminded 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 recruit people with great fanfare.

Several villagers in the base area knew that after Balu was recruited, they went to sign up without saying a word. 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 applicants were accepted, because among the 500 applicants,

There are dozens of people whose details cannot be found out, some of them are said to have fled, and dozens of people are only children.

.........

At night, around seven o'clock.

Xu Qingfeng, Liu Changshun, and Zhao Ming returned to the courtyard, and Li Jin had already poured water for them. After they sat down, they emptied the water in the bowl in just a few gulps.

"Well, the conscription is going well, right?" Li Jin said.

"Huh~, it went very well, more than 500 people were recruited, but there are many people who can't find out the details,

There are also many people who are only children, so 400 people were eventually recruited. " Xu Qingfeng took a deep breath and said.

"Well, under the current situation, 400 recruits are enough." Li Jin nodded, now is the first stage of conscription.

"Battalion Commander, in my opinion, we can continue to recruit people. We have stopped recruiting for the past few days.

But there are still many people who sign up. Didn’t you say before that the brigade commander asked us to recruit more than 1000 people? It’s only now. "Liu Changshun said.

In his opinion, the more recruits the better, otherwise when will his company be full of people, his company now only has 70 to 200 people, which is far from [-] people.

"Xiao Liu, your thinking is too simple. If I want to recruit people, it's not easy, but have you ever thought that our training level is much heavier than other eight-way fighters?

There are too many people, but it is not easy to train. What I want is a group of elite soldiers similar to special warfare battalions, not uneven soldiers, understand?

Only by training these 400 people well, and considering recruiting more people, we will never be able to become fat in one go. "Li Jin said.

Training is not that simple, supplies and so on are also a big problem, and buying supplies here is more troublesome than in the base area.

"Tsk, I didn't think about it that much." Liu Changshun rubbed his head. (end of this chapter)
