Chapter 78
"Name?"
"Yan Laosi."
"age?"
“Twenty-nine.”
The officer in charge of the registration looked up at Yan Laosi, and then asked expressionlessly: "Why are you a soldier?"
Yan Laosi scratched his head. He knew why he came to join the army. He just wanted to protect the acres of irrigated land that his family had just redeemed. He came to join the army just to protect his wife and children. However, he was not good at expressing words. He replied in a muffled voice: "No, I just wanted to join the army and fight against the Japanese."
The officer nodded and asked again: "Do you know that you may die in battle when you join the army?"
"I know." Yan Laosi nodded honestly. Of course he knew that there were no immortals when he was in the army and fought.
The officer asked again: "It's too late to regret it now. If you wait until I write your name on the list and you will regret it again, you will be a deserter. If you are caught, you will be shot."
"Don't regret it." Yan Laosi shook his head without hesitation.
As for the same thing, Yan Laosi would never want to go back to the past. In order to allow his wife and children to have food, clothes, and live a hopeful life, he died without any complaints.
The officer registered Yan Laosi's name and gave him two pieces of ocean, while saying, "This is your military pay this month. After receiving the military pay, hurry up and report to the opposite military camp."
"What, more, there is still military pay?" Yan Laosi was dull and did not dare to reach out to take it.
The officer scattered Dayang to the fourth brother of Yan without saying a word, and then shouted impatiently: "Next."
A strong man with a big waist and round waist squeezed forward and pushed Yan Laosi to the side. Yan Laosi walked into the opposite military camp with two pieces of ocean in his arms.
(Split Line)
Not far away, Xu Shijiu, Gao Shenxing, Shu Tongwen, Li Zihan, Niu Sigen and others were watching coldly.
According to the letter of appointment issued by the Third War Zone of the National Government, Xu Shijiu has officially served as the commander of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and the captain of the 19th Detachment. At present, the entire Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army only has one detachment of the 19th Detachment, which is a division-level organization. The 19th Detachment has four infantry regiments under its jurisdiction.
Li Zihan's Longkou Independence Group was adapted into the Lth Regiment.
The Longkou Security Brigade of Niu Sigen was adapted into the First Regiment.
Li Shuangqin's remnants of Sichuan Army and the bandits in Erlongshan were reorganized into the 3rd Regiment, with Li Shuangqin as the regiment commander, and Leng Er and Scar Er as the deputy regiment commander. The battalions, companies, platoons and squad commanders under them were all veterans of Sichuan Army. The leaders of Erlongshan were only deputy commanders, and the bandit leaders basically stood aside.
Of course, Chou Er was dissatisfied with this situation, and the leaders below were even more complaining. However, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui is no longer the previous anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui. With Li Zihan's two infantry companies, if the bandits in Erlongshan want to blow up the thorns, they have to consider the consequences.
The 4th Regiment is the newly established regiment, and the regiment commander is the Lu Jianbang. This group of new recruits in Yanjia Town will become the basis of the 4th Regiment.
Although Yin Shangwen is young, he has extremely rich work experience. In just over a dozen days, he has completely opened up the situation in Yanjia Town. The hot recruitment scene in front of him is the best proof. Yanjia Town has nearly 4,000 entourages, and the number of strong men is only about a thousand. Even if there are four or eight villages, there are only two thousand people. Now, there are four or five hundred people in the whole family.
Looking at the enthusiastic scene in front of you, Li Zihan was also very moved and turned his head to ask Shu Tongwen: "Awen, are the common people enrolled in the various anti-establishments of your Communist Party so enthusiastic?"
Shu Tongwen nodded and said, "This is basically the case in the base area. The situation in the guerrilla area is worse. As for the consolidation area mentioned by the Japanese, the people are very cold."
Li Zihan was secretly frightened when he heard this. Even if only the people in the base areas join the army enthusiastically, it was quite terrible. According to the information provided by the Military Affairs Bureau, the number of anti-Japanese bases led by the Communist Party has reached 18, and the total population controlled by the control may have exceeded 50 million, which means that the Communist Party will easily obtain millions of troops.
In contrast, the recruitment of the National Government and the National Army is much worse.
Although Chairman Jiang has issued a call for "one inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one inch of young people and one hundred thousand troops", young students from various cities and major universities have also shown great enthusiasm and signed up for the army, but there are not many colleges and universities in the National Government after all, and the number of young students is extremely limited, which is not enough to make up for the losses of the National Army.
Therefore, the National Government can only increase the recruitment efforts of the rear.
Zhuang men from Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangxi are transporting to the front line in batches.
But unlike the people in the Communist base areas who actively signed up for the army, the strong men in the rear did not voluntarily join the army, but were forced to recruit them by the National Government. The outbreak of the War of Resistance has lasted for two years. The losses of the national army have been in millions, and the officers in charge of the recruitment in the rear have long been without any scruples.
What are the three-digit draws one or two-digit draws one, now they all become decorations.
Now, they basically catch the strong men when they see them, then tie them with a hemp rope and then drive them into the training camp in a bunch of ways. In less than three months of training, these strong men were forcibly driven to the battlefield. Due to the tight funding and poor training conditions, many strong men starved to death before they even went to the training camp.
Even the strong man who survived by chance had no idea why he fought.
When they went to the battlefield and died in battle, they didn't know why they died.
For these mud legs who have never left their hometown since birth, and do not even know what the concept of the country is, what national justice and the rise and fall of the country are all false. They only know that they are forced to leave their hometown, they only know that they are forced to leave their wives, children, and children, and they only know that they are forced to take guns and embark on the battlefield.
It is easy to imagine how much combat effectiveness a group of soldiers can have.
As an experienced and thoughtful officer, Li Zihan had already foresaw this crisis. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the national army has undergone extremely serious deterioration. Now, many troops, not to mention the small Japanese field division, often collapse when they encounter small Japanese garrison brigades.
What's even more exaggerated is that some troops will collapse as soon as they hear the sound of Japanese artillery.
On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the guerrillas led by the Communist Party fought vividly behind the enemy, and they were quite trending to become stronger and stronger as they fought. Because of lack of contact, Li Zihan had never understood the reason, but today, Li Zihan had a preliminary understanding.
If you look at these villagers in Yanjia Town, Li Zihan will know a little bit about what's going on.
In a word, the Communist soldiers knew why they fought and died in battle, and they also knew why they died. However, the soldiers of the National Army had no idea why they fought and died in battle and they did not know why they died in battle.
However, it was precisely because of realizing this that Li Zihan also felt more and more crisis.
The Communist Party is so good at mobilizing local people and supporting them so much. In time, the Communist Party will become a big climate. If this situation cannot be reversed as soon as possible, I am afraid that by the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the entire China will be the territory of the Communist Party. This is by no means a terrifying statement.
Chairman Jiang must have realized this, so he has been doing things frequently recently.
Specifically in Longkou, Li Zihan also believes that it is necessary to limit the power of the Communist Party. The anti-Japanese democratic government was formed by Xu Shijiu, and the Communist Party seized the opportunity. It was too late to stop him. However, the army, the high morale mud legs in front of him, could never be controlled by the Communist Party.
At that moment, Li Zihan made a suggestion to Xu Shijiu: "Commander, the 4th Regiment is all new recruits, which is afraid it is not conducive to training and the formation of combat effectiveness. Why not draw some veterans from our 1st Regiment and enter the 4th Regiment to serve as grassroots officers?" After saying that, Li Zihan turned his head and asked Lu Jian Gang, "Old Lu, what do you think?"
"It's good." Lu Jianbang had no party dispute in his heart, so of course he agreed.
Xu Shijiu just wanted to be a pure soldier, and he said immediately: "Okay."
Yin Shangwen's face changed drastically. When he was about to express his objection, Shu Tongwen shook her eyes and stopped her.
Shu Tongwen certainly knew that Li Zihan wanted to take the opportunity to control the 4th Regiment to prevent the Communist Party from continuing to infiltrate the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui, but the historical trend is by no means reversed by manpower.
