Two days later.

Ye Feng's letter of appointment has also arrived, and Gu Zhutong personally awarded it to Ye Feng. In order to reward Ye Feng's outstanding performance in the Puxi Warehouse, he specially rewarded 200,000 French currency.

Looking at the letter of appointment signed by the Chairman, Ye Feng felt happy. Now that he had a brigade organization, he would soon bring in a team of thousands of people.

After a few days of rest at the Third War Zone Command, the injuries of more than 20 wounded people were healed a lot, and Ye Feng began to say goodbye to Gu Zhutong.

Since it was an independent brigade, Gu Zhutong gave Ye Feng great freedom. Not only did he allow Ye Feng to report directly to him, but he also did not issue combat tasks to Ye Feng, allowing Ye Feng to develop freely.

Before leaving, Ye Feng did not ask Gu Zhutong to supplement his troops, but personally selected 500 veterans of the National Army. Ye Feng did not ask Gu Zhutong for his guns and ammunition, which made Gu Zhutong very happy.

At the end of September.

After several days of marching, Shannan County was already in sight.

"The boss, there is Shannan County in front of us. Should we go into the city or take a detour back to the mountain?"

"Return to Shizhu Village." Ye Feng waved his hand and immediately made a decision.

It's been a month since I left Shizhu Village. Let's go back and take a look first. As for Shannan County, Ye Feng will go sooner or later. Ye Feng is no longer the same now. He used to be a bandit leader, and he had to hide his feelings when he entered the city. Now he is a dignified major general of the National Army.

Shizhuzhai.

The second leader Liu Yongyan was at the training ground at the foot of the mountain and was watching more than 100 new subordinates training. These more than 100 people were already well-behaved under Qian Hu's training. Liu Yongyan looked very satisfied and thought to himself that when the boss came back, he would also have a satisfactory explanation.

Before leaving, Ye Feng handed over a lot of money to Liu Yongyan for management, and told Liu Yongyan to expand the scale of Shizhuzhai, and to keep Qian Hu to assist in the training of newly recruited personnel.

Within a month, Liu Yongyan did not disappoint Ye Feng. Not only did he expand the area of ​​the training ground at the foot of the mountain by two or three times, he built rows of barracks, and also recruited more than 100 newcomers, and these only cost more than 10,000 oceans.

"The second leader, the second leader..."

A brother carrying a spear ran all the way, his face full of joy, and shouted from afar, as if he had encountered a huge happy event.

Looking at his subordinate who was so panting and full of joy, Liu Yongyan couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? What makes you so happy."

"Report to the Second Head, the Master and the others have returned. Now they have passed Shannan County. It is estimated that it is less than ten miles away from here."

"Really!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yongyan immediately looked surprised. Soon, Liu Yongyan shouted happily: "Brothers, the boss and the others are back, let's go and greet him."

Hearing Liu Yongyan's shouts, everyone stopped training and hurriedly walked towards the county town.

The boss is back, it’s such a happy event!

This time, Ye Feng did not tell Liu Yongyan in advance in order to give everyone a surprise.

Liu Yongyan and his team met Ye Feng and the others before they walked a few miles away. Seeing Ye Feng and the others wearing brand new military uniforms, the stars shining on Ye Feng's shoulders, Liu Yongyan couldn't believe his eyes.

It took only a month since the boss went out to change his guns and cannons. He transformed himself into a transformation and almost didn't recognize Liu Yongyan.

"Boss, is it really you?" Liu Yongyan's voice trembled a little, and there was also surprise.

"Old Liu, we are back." Ye Feng was in a good mood. Seeing his old subordinates, he also returned to Shizhu Village.

"It's really the boss, the boss and the others..."

Many people around shouted excitedly, all of whom were Ye Feng's men before.

Liu Yongyan was so excited that he took a few steps forward, holding Ye Feng's hand tightly, and moved the corners of his mouth several times, trying to say a few words, but he didn't say it.

Ye Feng patted Liu Yongyan on the shoulder, comforted him, and then said loudly to everyone: "Thank you brothers for coming to greet us. We will go back to Shizhu Village to kill chickens and sheep, and celebrate the day well."

The group returned to Shizhu Village happily, celebrating the day with large pieces of meat and big bowls of wine.

The next morning.

Ye Feng convened all the leaders and backbones to hold an enlarged meeting. Not only did he briefly tell the situation of fighting the Japanese in Shanghai, but he also told everyone that in the future, everyone will be the National Army and belong to the Independent Brigade of the Third War Zone.

Everyone was very happy to transform from a bandit into a direct central army. Some people even thought that this was a glorious family and could be proud in the future.

"Brothers, from today on, you are all military officers in the National Army. I will draw a list to report to the Third War Zone. Most of the grassroots officers in our independent brigade will emerge from you."

"That's great. I will be an officer of the National Army from now on." Many people were so excited that they almost shouted.

At the meeting, Ye Feng not only announced that his team would be adapted into the Independent Brigade of the Third War Zone, but also deployed a series of work.

The first thing is to recruit soldiers. Now Ye Feng has only seven or eight hundred men under his command. Ye Feng brought back five hundred veterans of the National Army who were carefully selected. Otherwise, Ye Feng would have only two or three hundred men.

According to Ye Feng's plan, since it is a brigade, it must have five or six thousand people. Therefore, the first thing is to recruit soldiers and recruit a large number of new recruits.

The second thing is to determine officers at all levels and build the entire framework. However, this work may take several days. Officers at all levels must carefully select them, and then determine them according to the specific circumstances, and finally report to the third war zone.

The third thing is to build a series of barracks, and the site selection work will begin soon. Around the three counties near Shizhuzhai, several places may have to be selected as the garrisons of future troops, and a series of training grounds and barracks need to be built. Of course, the nearest Shannan County will be the focus.

In addition, we must speed up the construction of several recruit training camps. Ye Feng plans to complete the recruitment work in about ten days. Once the recruitment work is completed, the next step is the hot training of recruitment.

At the meeting, everyone naturally fully supported Ye Feng's work arrangements. As soon as the meeting ended, Liu Yongyan went all out to arrange various tasks. Now Liu Yongyan has almost become Ye Feng's right-hand assistant.

Shannan County.

Chen Xiong, the commander of the Shannan County Security Corps, has been unable to calm down these days. Don’t look at Chen Xiong who already has several concubines. However, since he met Wang Xueying, the daughter of County Magistrate Wang, he has been ready to move.

Wang Xueying is so beautiful. She needs temperament and temperament, figure and figure, and face. The key is that she is still very young. Chen Xiong feels that she has lived in vain over the years and has tried her best to marry several concubines in the house. She always thinks that these concubines are all beautiful women. However, compared with Wang Xueying, her concubine is simply a scumbag.

"It would be great if Wang Xueying could be married as the concubine of the seventh room." Thinking of Wang Xueying's amazing beauty, Chen Xiong almost drooled.
