Chapter 26 26 [The best skill of the Eighth Route Army]

If you want to ask what the Eighth Route Army is best at, Chairman Jiang knows best.

One is good at fighting guerrilla warfare, accumulating small victories into big victories, constantly bleeding the enemy, and finally winning.

The other one is recruiting troops.According to the force establishment list of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, the Eighth Route Army is only a force with three divisions and six brigades, with tens of thousands of people.

But when it came to the Hundred Regiment War in 1940, an army of 40 suddenly appeared.

This speed is unprecedented!
How can the independent group let go of this fine tradition!The same is true for the second battalion.

Therefore, with the approval of the regiment headquarters, the Second Battalion will also expand aggressively.This time, Shuwa Village will become the base camp for the battalion to recruit troops. Yuan Pengfei's slogan is that by next winter, the second battalion must become a reinforced battalion with 600 people, and become the most powerful battalion of the independent regiment.

In the early morning of the next day, the cadres of the battalion were like industrious little bees, coming in and out to discuss recruitment matters.

Two propaganda officers took a few soldiers across the entire Shuwa Village. Their goal was to let everyone in the village know that the Eighth Route Army was recruiting troops.

"Ms. Zhang, our Eighth Route Army is about to recruit troops. It's at the entrance of the village. I can ask your son to come and have a look."

"Uncle, the soldiers recruited this time are personally led by our Battalion Commander Yuan. He is a well-known figure in our independent regiment. He has won all battles. This is a rare opportunity."

I don't know how many similar words have been said, and the lips are almost worn out, but the effect is also great. When they returned to the village entrance, almost everyone in the village who could act was already here.

A few soldiers were helping to maintain order. Some young and middle-aged boys wanted to queue up to sign up for the army, while some aunts and uncles were unavoidably worried, holding the hands of the soldiers and asking questions.

It's nothing more than whether the food is good, whether the clothes are warm, whether the training is hard, and how many little devils have been killed in battle?

The soldiers also answered patiently one by one, but there were too many people asking questions, and the number of soldiers recruited by the battalion was limited, so they couldn't satisfy everyone's curiosity for a while.In this recruiting office, there was a lot of chatter, which affected the normal order of recruiting soldiers.

At this time, a person who can control the situation is needed. The chief secretary is black-faced and old-fashioned, just like a black bread policeman, and he is particularly intimidating when he stands there.

Standing at the highest point, he shouted to the surrounding villagers: "Folks, be quiet, if you have any questions, ask them one by one, it will satisfy everyone's curiosity."

The security chief of Shuwa Village also stood nearby and echoed: "Folks, the Eighth Route Army is the army of our common people and the army that fights the Japanese.

All this is for us ordinary people. Everyone should enthusiastically support joining the army. Great young men, boldly join! "

The two sang together, which not only stabilized the situation, but also dispelled some of the doubts in people's hearts, at least they would not ask some stupid questions.

Baochang picked an old man to ask questions first, and he asked angrily: "Commander of the Eighth Route Army, do you recruit soldiers of any age?"

The black-faced old man took a look at him and asked, "How old is this year, sir?"

The old man laughed and said happily: "I am 55 this year, and my grandson is 15 years old. Maybe he will be a great-grandson in two years."

It can be seen that the old man is still very satisfied with the aspect of breeding offspring. If more children, more blessings, the family will become more and more prosperous.

However, the young man standing behind the uncle was a little dissatisfied.He raised his hand and said, "Sir, I want to sign up for the Eighth Route Army, and I don't want to find my mother-in-law to have children. The little devil is so rampant, I want to take up a gun to protect my family."

The black-faced old man said with a smile on his face: "I am so lucky to have such a wonderful grandson. The young man is full of energy and ambition. However, our Eighth Route Army has a policy and there is an age limit for recruiting soldiers, over 16 years old and under 45 years old. The uncle is There is no chance. The young man can join the army again next year and we will give him a warm welcome."

The young man was full of disappointment after hearing this. How could he be dismissed because of his age? He wished he had been born a year earlier so that he could become a glorious Eighth Route Army soldier.

The old man felt a little pity in his heart, but he didn't feel anything.He is just such a grandson, and it depends on him to continue the family line!As for participating in the Eighth Route Army, they were old and young, but his son was in his prime, and his age of less than 40 happened to be enough.It is enough for a family to have one member of the Eighth Route Army.

After answering the family's question, the security chief has already selected the second candidate, an old lady with three children.

She said: "Commander of the Eighth Route Army, I know that Captain Li of your independent regiment is the most powerful. All three of my children want to join the Eighth Route Army. I just want to ask if I can serve under Captain Li."

The old lady is also eager to love her son, and there is no doubt that she enrolls her child in the Eighth Route Army to fight devils.But it also depends on the officer. Under the leadership of a powerful officer, he can always win the battle, and the chance of surviving is also very high.

If you meet a blind officer, like Cheng Xiazi from the [-]nd regiment, it is very possible that the three sons will fall in a battle.

But in this regard, the black-faced old picker is worthy of his words.He said very proudly: "Madam, fellow villagers, you all know that Captain Li of our independent regiment is a figure with great military exploits and awe-inspiring people everywhere.

And our battalion commander is Li Tuanchang's right-hand man, and he is one of the most famous figures in the independent regiment.The team he leads is the most elite in the whole regiment, and the victories he has won are too numerous to count, and the little devils he has killed can be piled up into a hill.

So if you follow our battalion commander, you will be able to win the battle just like Captain Li. "

After hearing this, the old lady said happily: "Okay, okay, I will definitely use my three sons to be with your battalion commander."

Other villagers were also discussing in whispers, and someone informed said: "I have seen their battalion commander Yuan. He is a figure with two guns on his back and a sword. A big knife with a ghost head cut off the heads of countless devils, and two pistols were drawn out. , with a crackling beating, the devil would have to fall down a lot, it's amazing!"

The others were amazed after hearing this, and thought that Yuan Pengfei was eight feet tall, with three heads and six arms, just like the generals in historical novels.

Yuan Pengfei stood behind, embarrassed to hear it.

He has only been here for the second day, and the villagers in this village have only visited the old lady of the landlord in the battalion department. The rest is the Shuwa village security chief whom he only met in the morning. over him.

This fellow, probably heard so many words from the soldiers' mouths, and added his own imagination, made up his image, and he can be regarded as a genius.

But it's fine if the effect can be achieved, and Yuan Pengfei doesn't care too much about his image being demonized.

The chief security officer quickly selected the third candidate, his 18-year-old daughter Liu Ruonan.

This is his youngest daughter, with the care of her three elder brothers, plus the love of their husband and wife, her living conditions are almost as good as those of the eldest daughter in the city. Her skin is fair and tender, and she has hardly done any work. .

This time, he couldn't stand his daughter's begging, so he ranked her third to give her a chance to ask questions.

Liu Ruonan pointed and asked: "Commander of the Eighth Route Army, is the fair-skinned commander behind you the Battalion Commander you call him?"

The little girl had sharp eyes, and she immediately selected Yuan Pengfei, the beauty in charge of the second battalion, while another Li Xiucai, who was comparable to him, stood behind the table in a daze and lost the election.

After being pointed out by others, Yuan Pengfei stopped watching the fun and went off in person: "Fellows, I am Yuan Pengfei, the new commander of the Second Battalion. The stationing of the Second Battalion here has caused a lot of trouble for the villagers. Thank you folks for your help and support.

I won't say much about anything else, our Eighth Route Army has always been an army to fight devils, and I can't guarantee anything else, I, Yuan, who fights devils, will never let you down.So young people who want to fight devils must actively participate. "

The little girl's beautiful eyes were wide open, almost starry.When his father secretly told her the news just now, she still couldn't believe it.

Unexpectedly, this handsome young man was the famous Battalion Commander Yuan.At this moment, she felt like she was already in love.

However, Yuan Pengfei didn't think so. After answering a few questions from fellow villagers, he started recruiting registration on the spot.

The newspaper came up, and Li Xian, the clerk, began to register: Li Xilie, 20 years old, has a strong physique, has some martial arts skills, and can be considered for the Broadsword Team.

Liu Xing, 19 years old, has a thin build. He was born herding sheep since he was a child. He has the ability to throw stones and can be trained as a bombardier.

One fighter after another was registered in the roster, thirty or forty people were recruited in a blink of an eye, and there were nearly a hundred people in the long line behind.Presumably, the recruitment task of the battalion headquarters will be successfully completed this time.

But at this moment, a young man caught Yuan Pengfei's attention.

"You said you came from Sanyuan Town, which is a Kuomintang-controlled area. Why didn't you sign up to join the Shanxi-Sui Army or the Central Army?!"

The young man sneered and explained: "Sir, the Central Army and the Jinsui Army are all of the same breed, that is, they are better than devils, and they will not kill people recklessly. But they grab food as well.

The millet that my family worked so hard to grow, they didn't give any money, and didn't keep any rations, they just took it all away like robbers.

My old lady was so pissed off, and I couldn't take revenge on them with my bare hands, so I also thought about joining the Eighth Route Army, fighting the devils first, and then calculating with them one by one. "

Yuan Pengfei was a little speechless. The nature of the Central Army has not changed. They forcibly recruit strong men and food, and there is also the logistical supplies given to them by the chairman.If they didn't have that little logistical supply, they might all have gone to the devils as puppet troops.

He patted the young man on the shoulder sympathetically, thinking: The young man did not come in vain, if he survived, he might be able to avenge himself.
