Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

"By the way, how is the recruitment going? How many new recruits are in training now?"

"There are already 3000 new recruits in training. This time we have occupied Pu County, and the area within a radius of 30 kilometers is within our jurisdiction. In addition, the southern end of the Luliang Mountains is basically controlled by our army. The enthusiasm of the people to join the army is very high, and the subsequent recruitment is estimated to exceed .

Regarding the training of new recruits, I have set up a training camp in the mountain village. In case of any unexpected incidents, the geographical location of the mountain village can allow the new recruits to be ready for combat at any time and provide support to our entire jurisdiction.

Of course, it is almost impossible to send new soldiers to the battlefield, but this aspect must be taken into consideration.”

Xu Le nodded: "Indeed, it was fine when we were in Fanzhuang before, we didn't have to worry about that. Now our troops have been exposed to the devils, and we don't know what tricks the devils will play. It's good to be prepared. The location of the mountain village training camp is not bad!"

......

In the afternoon, Xu Le left Meidong Mountain and headed for Pu County. The 176th Division had several places for recruiting soldiers, and Pu County was the largest among them. After all, it was a county seat with a large population.

"Young Marshal, why are you here?"

Today, Guo Ditie has completely changed. Wearing the unique military uniform of the 176th Division, he looks very capable.

"I came to see how the recruitment is going. Brigade Commander Wang should have told you that we have certain requirements for recruiting soldiers. We won't accept everyone. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Guo Di Tie blinked his eyes. Some words were already considered as communication.

He is now the regiment commander, fully integrated into the 176th Division, and recognized by all senior officers. Naturally, he also knows the general direction of the future development of the troops.

If we say who is the happiest, if Guo Ditie is second, no one dares to say he is first.

The entire 664th Regiment was reorganized from captured puppet soldiers. Although they had not done anything evil, the stain on their lives could not be erased.

The people of the 176th Division didn't care, but the 176th Division was under the National Guard. In the future, the National Guard would definitely interfere in the affairs of the army, and then they would be very embarrassed when facing outsiders.

The best way is to have an independent force that is not subject to the control of any external forces and can make its own decisions.

"By the way, which regiment is responsible for the garrison of the county town now?"

"It's the 666th Regiment. In addition to being responsible for a few important towns in the surrounding area, the rest of our regiment is cooperating with the people from the Propaganda Department of the Political Department to recruit soldiers in the area."

"Okay, take me to the recruitment office in the city!"

A moment later, Xu Le and his group arrived outside an ancient and luxurious building.

Guo Di Tie introduced: "Young Marshal, this used to be the county government of the Shanxi Army. Later, the Japanese occupied it and turned it into the office area of ​​the puppet government. Now it is the headquarters of our army, and the conscription is done inside!"

"salute!"

At the door, the guard saluted when he saw Xu Le!

As soon as he entered the compound, Xu Le saw a group of people dressed in civilian clothes gathered in one place.

"What's going on? How can we recruit soldiers when there is such a mess?"

Guo Di Tie was also puzzled: "It was fine just now, how come it became such a mess? I'll go check it out!"

.....

"Make way, make way, what's going on!"

The person in charge of recruiting said, "Captain, this guy wants to join the army, but he says he won't touch a gun. I said, if you don't even touch a gun, why would you join the army? That's why we don't want him!"

"Okay, I got it. Let's evacuate the crowd first and continue recruiting soldiers!"

Xu Le also heard it more clearly, so he stepped forward and took a look at the person arguing. He was indeed big and strong, especially his neck.

He has a big head and thick neck. He is either a rich man or a cook.

"Brother, we are a unit that fights the Japanese. You said you want to join our unit, but if you don't have a gun, what can you use to fight?"

The sturdy man looked at Xu Le; "Who are you? Are you the commander?"

"I guess so. If you have any opinions about our troops, you can tell me. The same goes for the rest of you!"

The strong man still asked doubtfully: "If I tell you, can you decide?"

Guo Di Tie hurried forward to stop him: "What are you talking about? This is..."

"Wait!" Xu Le raised his hand to interrupt, for he was afraid that Guo Die would expose his identity.

Pu County is not like the Meidongshan headquarters. There are many people here and it is hard to even determine whether there are any Japanese spies around. If the Japanese know his identity, he will inevitably get into trouble.

This is not impossible. Just as Yamaguchi Keiko said, the Special High Police's people are omnipresent. They are in almost every county, guerrillas, National Guard, etc.

Although the Special High Police of Shanxi Province is now indirectly under his command because of Keiko Yamaguchi, who can determine whether there are people planted by the Special High Police headquarters among Keiko Yamaguchi's subordinates?

There aren’t many people who are double agents or even multiple agents, but there are definitely quite a few!

"I am the commander of the army. I have full authority over everything. Just say whatever you want to say!"

Seeing that a leader like Guo Di Tie didn't dare to speak in front of Xu Le, the strong man thought that Xu Le's status was higher, so he explained: "My family has been cooks for generations, so you can let me kill chickens and pigs, but I have never touched a gun, let alone kill anyone.

But my father said that when the country is in crisis, only a real man can join the army to defend the country, so I came to sign up for the army. I want to go to the place where you cook and make hot meals for the brothers who are fighting.

But this soldier didn't even listen to me finish my words and just said he didn't want me anymore!"

The words of the strong man resonated with some people, and many people also plucked up the courage to respond:

"Me too. I was a sheep herder on horseback. I wanted to be a cavalryman, but they said there were no cavalrymen and no need!"

"And me, I'm also afraid of killing people. I just said that, and the soldier said he didn't want me!"

.......

Xu Le listened to everyone's words. After a moment, he pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and asked the person in charge of recruiting soldiers: "Are they right?"

"Yes, but we don't lack people in the kitchen! And the shepherd, our army doesn't have cavalry, no horses for him to ride. The one who said he was afraid of killing people, I just said that it would be fine after training, and he got scared..."

The husband has his own reasons, and the wife has her own reasons. Xu Le knew that this would happen, so he came to see for himself.

With his future experience, he knew that there were many different kinds of talents in the world, and different people had their uses, so he climbed onto the recruiting table and shouted:

"The devils invaded our Tang Dynasty and killed tens of millions of our compatriots. I think you all remember this hatred. If it weren't for revenge, you wouldn't have come to me!

I believe that you all have your own strengths. Please believe me, I will never let your talents be overwhelmed. My army needs all kinds of talents. As long as you have some special skills, I will accept you.

Even if you don't have any special skills, you can become a soldier after receiving recruit training.

If you can't accept this, forgive me for being harsh, but people like this are just here to make a living, I don't need them!

I hope you think carefully. Serving as a soldier to defend our country is a manly thing to do. If you are afraid of death, the door is behind you. Please go back the way you came!"
