Chapter 763: Lack of People

Li Feng has carefully inspected the arsenal, and I think they are now able to produce grenades, and they are also able to reload bullets.

In addition, their steel production has now gone up, and Li Feng is already wondering whether it is time to produce some steel helmets!

Many of their warriors only have a broken hat on their heads, and no matter how good the broken hat is, there is no steel helmet.

Although the steel helmet can never block the bullets of the 38 cover at close range, the role of the steel helmet is not to block bullets, but to prevent bullets.

Half of the casualties in the battle with the devil are caused by explosions, and the steel helmet can greatly reduce the casualties as long as the head is protected.

"I'll draw you the shape of the helmet tomorrow, and I hope you will make some of the helmets within two months, even if the quality is poor."

It's better to have a first-class head than a bare head!

It is impossible to wear a green hat, even if you take him, you have to wear a black first-class head, and I don't know if Zhang Guoqiang can make it.

There is no big problem in the arsenal, except for the technicians who are a little tired, everything else is fine, so Li Feng is ready to add food to them, chicken soup is indispensable, especially chicken soup with ginseng, which should allow these technicians to make up for it.

In the end, Li Feng went to the mine, and the big bald head worked very hard, so his slippery bald head was now unusually black, and it was full of soot.

Li Feng admired the enthusiasm of the bald head to work, but the old god stick looked very lazy, and the overseer said that he had rested several times.

After inspecting various places, Li Feng returned to the headquarters and threw Er Fat onto his own broken blanket, and then Li Feng sat on the recliner.

Xiao Wen finally caught this dead fat man, she felt that she needed to talk to Li Feng well, and she couldn't push everything to her.

"I said dead fatty, why are you recruiting more than 500 recruits if you have nothing to do? Can't we wait until after the beginning of spring to recruit troops? ”

Xiao Wen slammed the document in her hand on the table, looking very annoyed.

Li Feng is a man with a very strong desire to survive, not a fool like Ma Laosan, knowing that the old sister wants to coax at this time, and wants to kiss and hug and hold high, so Li Feng quickly stood up and said with a flattering smile:

"Sister, this matter is indeed something I asked me to do, if it weren't for the lack of time, I would be ready to recruit a few more soldiers."

The annoyance on Xiao Wen's face dissipated partially, and she turned to look at Li Feng in surprise and asked:

"You can also recruit troops in the spring of next year, why are you in such a hurry? And now there is a lot of food in the army, do you know how much food more than 500 recruits have to eat in a month? ”

Li Feng shook his head, he didn't want to take care of this kind of thing, he only needed to be responsible for grabbing food, and the other self-owned elder sisters and Song Yi were responsible.

"Then you should tell me why you want to recruit soldiers in advance!"

"That's ......"

Li Feng began to slowly explain to Xiao Wen that it was actually the intelligence brought by Luo Hong, he said that the development of the troops in the south has not been very good recently, and after they left Jiangnan, Chongqing directly broke with the Eighth Route Army, which also caused the New Fourth Army to face great pressure.

In the end, Li Feng understood one thing, it was nothing more than that the New Fourth Army in Anhui had suffered heavy losses, and they had many national government troops south of the Yellow River and in North China.

Therefore, he is ready to recruit and train people in advance, and by the way, he will grab the people that the Central Army will recruit next year.

"So, you don't think there's enough time?" Xiao Wen raised her head and looked at her brother and asked.

"Yes, if I can have an extra half a year, Lao Tzu will not be afraid of them, last time I heard that a division of the Central Army defected to the enemy, and I just wanted to eat them, if it wasn't for the fact that the matter in hand was too tight, I would have killed them all."

The group of Central Army that surrendered to the enemy was the border of Henan, and it was very close to them, and even the two sides had exchanged fire!

Now that Xiao Wen has figured out what happened, it is natural to support her brother and solve the problem of food, but Xiao Wen has raised several new questions.

"First of all, there is still a big gap in our weapons and equipment, according to what you said before, all our soldiers who want to play must have qualified rifles in their hands.

There are now more than 500 rifles in our warehouse, more than 300 Chinese and formal rifles, more than 200 Hanyang-made rifles with good performance, and the rest are some shoddy or somewhat damaged rifles.

That is to say, we will be able to equip more than 1,000 people at most in the future, and according to the tasks assigned to us by the superiors, this number of people is far from enough.

My new local administration will also have to recruit a lot of people, as well as the new regiment and the independent battalion.

In addition, our artillery company is now extremely short of manpower, and their manpower is not the same as that of ordinary big-headed soldiers.

Have you figured out how to solve it? ”

Hearing these questions from the elder sister, Li Feng's head is a little big, and the problem of weapons and equipment is easy to solve, so they will rob it, Li Feng has long coveted the Central Military Division that has surrendered to the enemy in the east of them, and believes that there is no big problem in robbing them of the weapons and ammunition of the regiment.

But there aren't too many people around here, who went to farm when they were all soldiers? And one move is a few thousand people, and the sum of their dozen villages is less than 10,000 people.

If it weren't for the recent recruitment of many refugees, the factory would not have been able to open, and the coal mine would have been in dire need of manpower.

"Damn, now that there are more guns than people, we must continue to expand our territory.

I think it is necessary to develop to the south, but if it doesn't work, we will cross the Yellow River, anyway, there are large areas of base areas on the border of Henan, waiting for us to develop. ”

Li Feng had long wanted to cross the Yellow River in the south, and when the time came, he would directly open up a base area in Henan, and there were a lot of people in Henan now, as long as Li Feng raised his arms and told those who did not have enough to eat to serve as soldiers that they could eat enough, I believe that there would not be too many problems if he found a few thousand people.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for them to cross the Yellow River south now, so they can only delay it temporarily.

"Sister, recently you went to the neighborhood to take a look and find a way to recruit some refugees, what we have is food, what we lack is people and horses, so now as long as it is an individual, we all want to work.

The people of the spy platoon are handed over to you, there are people among them who can screen spies, don't let the spies take advantage of the loopholes. ”

"Okay, as long as you give me people and money, I promise to recruit those refugees for you, but you must arrange their lives for the rest of your life." The elder sister is also a local administrative cadre, so she is very worried about the emergence of refugees in her territory, and now Li Feng wants to help her solve it, of course Xiao Wen is very happy.
