Chapter 1422: Massive Expansion of the Army
As for Guo Zhuocheng, the acting company commander, who received 20 silver dollars for each person, these soldiers not only did not feel unbalanced in their hearts and felt that this was the right thing, but instead thought that Guo Zhuocheng was too kind and only took the share of two soldiers, and the Red Army was really talking about the equality of officers and soldiers, and did not brag.
The reason why Guo Zhuocheng wanted to accept these twenty silver dollars was to use this method to subtly increase his prestige, and to imply to others that he was the supreme commander of this unit and a well-deserved boss.
In addition to the silver dollars that were divided equally, Guo Zhuocheng also issued two more silver dollars to each of the Red Army soldiers who participated in the battle today, and also rewarded the prisoners who had just shot and killed the escort troops. Although he didn't kill many people, Guo Zhuocheng shot each one, and regardless of whether they killed the enemy or not, he gave two rewards.
What he wants is blood on their hands, what he wants is yellow mud falling in the crotch of his pants is not and, as long as he shoots and gets money, the people around him will think that he killed someone, and he himself can't justify not being hit. Especially now that they don't dare to defend themselves at all, they are afraid that Guo Shucheng will kill them in a fit of anger, and they don't want to push the silver dollars out of the white flowers.
Seeing the blood, with the silver dollar as a reward, many people began to really return to their hearts, although they may not want to be a red army in their hearts, but at least they can stay in this whole for the time being, willing to follow Guo Zhuocheng to kill people and grab things to fight for the future, for the time being, there is no heart to rebel and escape, and those who resist in their hearts also begin to have the mentality of trying it out.
Guo Zhuocheng knew that as long as he led them to win a few battles, as long as he showed his skills to let them know that it was good to follow him, they would be more united. Just do the necessary training. It may not be a strong army in the future.
In fact, both the current Red Army. In the future, the anti-Japanese contingent, or the future People's Liberation Army, all absorbed a large number of prisoners of war and turned them into soldiers on the spot, and never excluded prisoners of war from joining the troops.
At that time, it was because the PLA was so powerful that anyone who was not a fool knew that the Kuomintang-Party government was about to collapse. The Communist Party is going to sit in the world, because they are not disgusted in their hearts, and even look forward to it. And now it is true that when the Red Army is going downhill, it is at its lowest ebb, and these people are very reluctant to jump into the fire pit, so Guo Zhuocheng must do more work, and the pit and abduction are used to achieve this effect.
While Guo was arranging for personnel to count and compile a register of the seized materials, many soldiers were taking the initiative to help "persuade" the newly captured Gui soldiers and civilians to join the Red Army. These prisoners of war, who had just considered themselves to be Red Army, were much more active than the real Red Army, and learned Guo Zhuocheng's hand, that is, to ask each other with guns and bayonets: Would you rather be a headless corpse or a Red Army willing to be a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat. From time to time, he also punched those who hesitated, and made those who didn't want to be a red-soldier cry and call their mothers. The real Red Army soldiers really can't stand it, but they can't stop it.
Because Guo Zhuocheng heard a soldier say that he had found a fellow villager in the captives and "persuaded" eight people to join the Red Army, Guo Zhuocheng knew that he had taken the means of beating, scolding and threatening, but Guo Zhuocheng still praised him greatly, appointed him as the deputy squad leader, and rewarded him with four silver dollars on the spot.
Guo Zhuocheng's acquiescence and encouragement made these people even worse, and the screams were louder, and the speed of joining the Red Army was naturally faster.
The company instructor who had just woken up again saw such an impotent behavior, and knew from the mouths of the soldiers next to him that it was ordered by Guo Shucheng, and he couldn't help but fall unconscious again.
This time he was stunned: "My God, where is this the Red Army of the Civilized Division, this is more bandit than bandits." This is a violation of policy and discipline, and aren't you trapping our Red Army in injustice by doing so? If the superiors know about it, won't they kill us? ”
How did he know that Guo Zhuocheng was a guy who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and also knew that the Red Army was the most difficult period now, and those leaders were too busy to take care of themselves, where did they have time and leisure to investigate these things? Besides, the Red Army is on a long march of 10,000 miles, and if it wants to investigate, it will have to wait until the PLA has crossed the Yangtze River for more than ten years.
Now Guo Zhuocheng's contingent has expanded again, and its number has increased to more than 300 people, which is about the same as a battalion of a regular army, and it is more adequately armed. However, Guo Zhuocheng still claimed to be the acting company commander, but only increased the platoon-level units by three more to reach the super company of eight platoons.
After the clean-up, they seized 35,000 silver dollars, more than 300 rifles, 150,000 rounds of ammunition, 10,000 grenades, 20 light and heavy machine guns, five 60 mortars, and a quantity of food and clothing.
What makes Guo Zhuocheng happiest is that there are also two low-power radios inside.
Tong Guò had just been captured but had become a conversation among the Red Army soldiers, and Guo knew that this batch of supplies had been sent directly to the front line by the latest order, rather than the original to Guanyang County. Because the fighting on the front line did not go well, the Gui army suffered heavy casualties and continued to replenish ammunition.
This made Guo Zhuocheng's original plan to use this transportation team to infiltrate the county and make a big fuss in the county town failed. If they can make a big fuss in Guanyang County and kill those high-ranking officers who stay in the county seat, it will definitely make the Gui army shocked, and the command will be confused, and maybe they will be forced to transfer back troops from the front line to quell the chaos. In this way, the pressure on the main Red Army will be greatly reduced.
However, now that the county seat cannot be entered, it has to be rethought.
Guo Zhuocheng thought for a while, and to everyone's surprise, he ordered everyone to go to a nearby village to rest and sleep, and decided to act again tomorrow during the day. Whether it was the Red Army soldiers or the prisoners who had just joined the team, they were all shocked, and some people couldn't help but remind Guo Zhuocheng that even if others didn't know that there was a Red Army here, just by the gunshots just now, people would know that something was going on here. If the enemy heard the news, they had to be dumplings made by the other party. A soldier of the Red Army named Ma Jiankang was even more anxious and said that the troops should immediately go to the direction of the head of the boundary to break through the encirclement as soon as possible and help the Red Army to strike at the enemy.
Guo Zhuocheng explained to these people: "It is precisely because of the situation here that it may have attracted the attention of others. However, if we do not mess up, others will be reassured, thinking that a few of the Red Army troops who had fled had been killed by the escort troops, or that they had discovered Diao Min, and the escort troops opened fire.
If we disappear like this, not to mention that the Gui army will send someone to investigate, even the passers-by or the surrounding people will also report to the Gui army, then we will not be able to get away, and sooner or later we will be caught up. ......, now you are all busy for a day and a night, and you are too tired to do it, if you are chased by others, you will definitely not be able to escape their pursuit with your body. Only when you have rested, eaten enough, and have a body can you break through the enemy's obstruction and return to the large army in one go. ”
Although everyone was skeptical, they did feel too tired. If no one mentions it, they may be able to cheer up and hold on for a while, but now that Guo Zhuocheng said it, they really feel that their legs are as heavy as lead, and their eyelids are difficult to open. In particular, the Red Army soldiers were even more tired, and when they had not rested at all after two days and two nights of fighting, they were on the verge of collapse.
Guo Zhuocheng doesn't want these treasures in the team to be tired to death, now these Red Army are the seeds of the revolution in the future, as long as they can live until the liberation, no matter how low the position is, at least the level of battalion commander and regiment commander, especially in the future to fight against the Japanese invaders, relying on their backbone: they have combat skills, are not afraid of sacrifice, dare to stand alone, and can lead a group of people to fight with the Japanese devils wherever they are thrown, where can such people be tired to death and starve to death here?
Of course, Guo Zhuocheng did not recklessly put the troops in a random place to rest, but chose a small village with inconvenient transportation and surrounding mountains, and immediately blocked the road in and out of the village after entering. In this time of chaos, no one went out at night, and the common people stayed at home in fear, so that there was not much trouble in locking down the village.
In the early morning of the next day, that is, on December 1, 1934, the Red Army, the main force of the central government, crossed the Xiangjiang River.
Guo Shucheng got up from a pile of straw, walked outside to the creek to wash it briefly, and then had breakfast with the other soldiers. These breakfasts were cooked overnight by Guo Zhuocheng, Sun Xingguo and others, who called the villagers to help.
Last night, Guo Zhuocheng, Sun Xingguo and the others barely rested, because only they had the best body and spirit, and they were not worried about being warned by others, worried that others would shoot black guns, so the seven of them took turns in two shifts. For those of them who have been trained by the special forces and have come here since 1991, their health is far better than that of these people now, and there is nothing wrong with not resting for days and nights.
What they didn't know was that their actions had an unexpected effect, and for the first time the captives felt that the officers of the Red Army cared so much about the soldiers, that they did not only lead by example, but also did more than ordinary soldiers. If it is an officer of the Gui Army, he must be the first to occupy a house when he arrives at the camp, he eats meat and drinks wine, and he has to find a woman in the village to accompany him. I feel that following these officials may really have a future, at least it is much more comfortable than following other warlords.
Those Red Army soldiers watched Guo Zhuocheng's movements, and they no longer had the same suspicions as before, because only the officers of the Red Army would do this.
After eating and drinking, everyone changed into the captured new military uniforms, and just as Guo Zhuocheng's whole team was about to set off, a propeller biplane appeared in the sky, roaring and flying north.
Feeling the panic flashing in the eyes of the soldier in front of him, Guo Zhuocheng looked up at the plane swaggering low in the fog, and said sarcastically: "There are no tigers and monkeys in the damn mountains, and an old-fashioned broken plane can show off its might in the sky." When Lao Tzu gets an anti-aircraft machine gun, Lao Tzu will make you a fireball in the sky. ”
