The reason for recruiting troops in the Central Army is because it is necessary to fill the strength of the troops, and they used to be paid empty salaries, and the strength of the troops has always been in a state of shortage.

But now it's different, I heard that there is an inspection team that is going to come up to check, and Shangfeng asked them to make up for these people as soon as possible.

In the past, there was no need to recruit troops with such fanfare, and they only needed to go down and arrest the strong men, and when the people from the inspection team left, they would put these strong men back.

But this trick doesn't work now, because there is a big demon king Li Feng nearby, if anyone dares to catch a strong man, it is estimated that this fat man really dares to beat people.

Just kidding, the Eighth Route Army is a poor man's army, and once the poor encounter any trouble, Li Feng will definitely directly block the front, so that he can also capture the hearts of the people.

Because the recruitment time of the two sides collided together, and then a competition began, saying that it was competition, but in fact, the situation was also one-sided.

The common people on the border of Henan can be said to have a deep hatred for the Central Army, and even think that they hate it more than devils, so those who are willing to serve as soldiers are some ruffians and hooligans, or they dare to enter only when there are acquaintances in the family.

The Eighth Route Army is different, the previous battles have made a reputation, and now the devils dare not provoke, the most important thing is that the Eighth Route Army is very good to the people, so there are many people who are willing to participate in the Eighth Route Army.

Xiao Wen is very happy, in the past, the recruitment was basically accepted by anyone, but now it is different, because there are many people in the territory of Henan, so it needs to be screened when recruiting.

And Li Feng also knew that a considerable number of those who were willing to come to serve as soldiers came here knowing that Li Feng could eat well.

The little fat man did not feel any shame in this reason, on the contrary, he felt that only such soldiers were malleable.

In these years, there are many ordinary people who can't eat enough to serve in the army, and the focus is on what they will do in the future.

If you can't even eat enough, you ask people to be patriotic and fight devils, which is a bit nonsense, after all, ordinary people can't even take care of food and clothing, where can they take care of this kind of righteousness.

On the first day of recruitment, Xiao Wen was attacked by more than 1,000 people, and then he was robbed by several battalions, and more than 100 people were distributed to the station.

Gu Tongfang also has Xiao Jing on his side helping to recruit people, he borders the Central Army, and it is the place where the recruitment competition between the two sides is the most intense.

It's a pity that this group of Central Army finally lost to the Eighth Route Army, and Gu Tongfang recruited less than 1,000 people out of more than 2,000 people.

Since the scale of the recruitment this time was a bit large, Li Feng needed to recruit people in every vicinity, and then scatter them in various battalions.

Now they are the Yudong Guerrilla Regiment, although they look like a miscellaneous card in terms of formation, but this combat effectiveness is not even underestimated by the nearby devils.

Therefore, no one thinks that Li Feng's combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is really miscellaneous, on the contrary, they have been trying to find a way to contact Li Feng, thinking that they will help in the future.

For this kind of wall grass, the little fat man did not explicitly refuse, if he clearly refused, how could he take advantage of it.

"Fatty, you see we have recruited a lot of recruits in the past few days, when will we be able to put them into training?"

It's been two weeks since the Lantern Festival, and it's almost February, and if they don't start training again, when the ice and snow melt, if the little devils come again, they won't have more troops in their hands.

"Don't worry, there's nothing too big a problem with this, I've already asked people to do it, and I'll start training in a few days!

The logistics department must prepare the food supply, and the weapons and equipment must also be deployed, there are so many more people at one time, our weapons and equipment will definitely not be enough for the time being, let's take out those dilapidated guns and ammunition first! ”

"Good!"

Xiao Wen is already familiar with these things, and Song Yi has already negotiated with the arsenal, believing that new weapons and equipment will be sent in the next few weeks.

In addition, Li Feng also asked people to go to the North Soviet Union to buy weapons, this process is relatively slow, and it needs to go through many blockade lines, maybe they will be robbed by the brigade commander once on the way.

But none of this matters, the important thing is that they can spend their money, and if they can't buy weapons, no amount of gold in their hands is useless.

"Oh yes, what happened to the two new battalion fighters? Have you fully integrated into our group? ”

"You've all integrated into our regiment, and now you're smoking with some veterans, so you don't have to worry about it!

The problem now is that we have more than ten battalion-level units in our hands alone, and this is not counting the guard company and special agent company of the regimental headquarters, and the artillery is not counted!

If you think about it, how does such a huge system work?

To tell you the truth, we are seriously short of cadres now, and they are all grassroots cadres, for the sake of our troops, I have already pulled out some of the people in the logistics department, but unfortunately it is not enough now!

In addition, the cultural literacy of the commander of the unit, the demand is getting higher and higher, and we need to recruit some recruits who can write and fight! ”

To tell the truth, although the mud legs can be quickly exercised, but the commander still needs to have a certain cultural background, and recently all units have been holding night shifts, just to let those mud legs commanders know a few words.

There's no way, sometimes you still need to look at the telegram or something, you don't know how to read, and there are a lot of restrictions when fighting on the battlefield.

"I also know about this matter, I have asked the people of the underground to find a way, and now the students everywhere have a strong enthusiasm for our Eighth Route Army.

I believe that as long as the underground party members let out the wind, there will be many young students willing to join us, and there should not be too many cadres at that time! ”

The fat man has already thought about it, the most enthusiastic people in these years are students, and there is no problem of recruiting them.

Xiao Wen nodded, it's good that my brother has a bottom in his heart.

"Oh yes, I heard that you are going to set up several brigades, and a few more battalion-level units below, have you figured out the list of captains?"

Under the regiment should be directly the battalion, but because there are too many battalion-level units in their regiment, Li Feng thought of a compromise method and set up a sub-regiment-level unit in the middle, that is, the brigade!

"I'm really a little distressed about this matter, Gu Tongfang must be a captain over there, let's help here, I personally serve as the captain!

Zhou Da is also a captain, and the remaining two captains can only be chosen among He Sheng and others! ”

There are too many veterans who follow them, and almost all of the original battalion commanders are in the same period, but now they suddenly find that their former comrades-in-arms have become a brigade, and they are still a battalion, and the chief will inevitably have opinions in his heart, which is what Li Feng is worried about.
