On the Zhongtiao Mountain position, soldiers from all over China speak dialects from all over the world, which should be a family of the people of the world, but on this occasion, there is a strong * flavor.

No soldier can say for sure how long this will last, no one can be sure which direction things will go next, maybe with the order, the group of soldiers who have been with them all day and night and are in different camps will fight against them, or the commanders of both sides are already communicating with each other, and things will melt like a glacier in spring.

Although Liu Chundao did not prevent the soldiers of a division of the national army from entering their position, Liu Chundao did not relax at all, and the patrol on the position was twice as much as usual, as long as there was any change in the position, he must grasp the initiative on the battlefield and firmly control this division, otherwise their division would roll out of Zhongtiao Mountain.

He Yingqin, who was in Luoyang, was not happy that one of his divisions could be stationed in the Zhongtiao Mountain position. On that day, a division entered Zhongtiao Mountain and was not blocked by Liu Chundao's department, and He Yingqin was the happiest person, because after they had evacuated Zhongtiao Mountain for so long, they stepped into Zhongtiao Mountain again, and the humiliation they had borne on him could finally be washed away.

However, the troops who entered Zhongtiao Mountain came with uneasy news, He Yingqin's division that entered Zhongtiao Mountain only had 7,000 troops, while the strength of Liu Chundao's division was conservatively estimated to be about 30,000 people, which was more than the strength of an army under his command.

Of course, the strength of Liu Chundao's division is not limited to 30,000 people, since the recovery of Zhongtiao Mountain and a large number of abandoned materials and equipment by the Japanese army, he began to expand the army frantically, in this vast land, there has never been a shortage of people, and Liu Chundao They have been stationed in the Shimen area before, and the troops that can be recruited are limited.

After He Yingqin learned of Liu Chundao's strength, he felt that one of his divisions entering Zhongtiao Mountain was simply a sheep's mouth, and it could become Liu Chundao's troops at any time, and Chairman Jiang sent him a telegram, explicitly prohibiting it without his order, no, he couldn't clash with Liu Chundao's department, after all, now they want to separate the new 33rd Army, maybe Liu Chundao will become the mainstay of their national army in the future, and now it's really a big flood that washes the Longwangmiao family and doesn't know the family.

He also thought about sending more wrong troops into the position in Zhongtiao Mountain, but He Yingqin considered his wrong combat effectiveness, and he had to arrange at least three times more troops to deal with Liu Chun's knife department. He Yingqin had 200,000 troops in his hands, but these troops still needed to maintain law and order in various localities, and they were scattered all over the defense area and at important traffic intersections in the defense area, and it was impossible to press all the troops to Zhongtiao Mountain.

At the suggestion of the chief of staff, He Yingqin also figured out that even if they sent all their troops to Zhongtiao Mountain, they would not be able to give Liu Chundao anything for the time being, and the strength of one division would be enough, since there would be no conflict, it would be good if this division was responsible for monitoring them.

Since they are connected, He Yinqin should not be unhappy, but today there is information from Zhongtiao Mountain that the strength of Liu Chundao's division has suddenly increased to more than 40,000 people, which can frighten Lao He.

The last time the news came was five days ago, which means that in just five days, they have increased their strength by 10,000 men. If this continues, it won't take a few days, and they really won't have any way to take Liu Chundao.

"Where did they recruit so many people? And where did they get so many weapons and equipment? ”

He Yingqin and his commanders couldn't figure it out, recruiting 2,000 people in one day, even if they sent all the people in the army to catch the strong men, they couldn't catch so many people, and so many people needed weapons and food, where did Liu Chundao go, relying on the weapons and equipment left by the little devils alone was not enough at all.

"Sir, according to intelligence, one out of every three people in Liu Chundao's division is publicizing their recruitment conditions in various places, and some of the soldiers of their division have gone to our defense area to publicize!" A lieutenant colonel reported to He Yingqin.

"Then it is impossible for a regiment of people to be soldiers in a day!" He Yingqin didn't believe that even if they gave up their defense area to Liu Chundao, it would be impossible for two thousand people to join the army a day, could it be that they went in a group?

"Sir, this is the condition for the recruitment of the new 33rd Army, take a look first!" The lieutenant colonel handed over the recruitment advertisement of the New 33rd Army to He Yingqin.

He Yingqin took the recruitment advertisement of the New 33rd Army suspiciously, and after he read it, he couldn't believe it, because the conditions offered by the New 33rd Army were almost twice as high as the regular army of the National Army.

"Sir, a large part of the people who went to join the army were the puppet army originally stationed in Shanxi, after Shanxi was recovered, the puppet army and militia groups that were originally in Shanxi were disbanded by the New 33rd Army, and they had nothing to do after they went back, no source of income, and after seeing the recruitment propaganda of the New 33rd Army, they ......"

The lieutenant colonel did not finish all his words, presumably He Yingqin had already understood, Shanxi was the front line of the war between the Japanese army and the Chinese army, and the Japanese army dropped a large number of puppet troops in Shanxi in order to reduce the casualties of its own troops, and Shanxi is rich in mineral resources, and there are a large number of prisoners of war engaged in mining work in Shanxi.

Although in a country, it is sad for the country to enlist in the army in order to have something to eat, but in the current national conditions, this is also the most realistic part, and the new 33rd Army has also seized the current situation in Shanxi, so the number of people who sign up for the army every day is growing wildly.

In the face of the high welfare of the new 33rd Army's recruitment, not many people can resist such a temptation, and even some ordinary soldiers in the national army are talking about these things, presumably their superiors are not deducting some military salaries, the new 33rd Army is really too good to the soldiers.

After reading the recruitment propaganda of the New 33rd Army, He Yingqin realized that they would definitely not be able to adopt the same military salary and welfare as the New 33rd Army, because there were more than 5 million people in the entire Chinese National Army, and even if Chairman Chiang was sold to the Japanese, they would not be able to exchange so much military salary. But he also knew the consequences of this, and after the recruitment of the new 33rd Army was thoroughly publicized, they would have no troops to recruit in this place.

"Commander He, I'm worried about that division on the Zhongtiao Mountain position!" A staff officer beside He Yingqin cautioned.

On the Zhongtiao Mountain position, their soldiers got along with the soldiers of the New 33rd Army day and night, and I am afraid that they already knew the favorable conditions offered by the New 33rd Army.

"Tell Division Commander Qian that the deserters were found in the army, and one person in a platoon escaped, and the squad leader and platoon commander were shot on the spot, and three people fled, and the company commander was shot on the spot!"

In order to deal with the soldiers fleeing and going to the New 33rd Army, He Yingqin had to take countermeasures. However, the fact is that most of the veterans who have been on the battlefield will not care about He Yingqin's continuous sitting at all. Because they know that after a battle with the little devil, it is like a company, that is, a few people left in the regiment, and everyone still doesn't know each other, so they have no affection for each other, since there is no affection, why care about sitting together.

Of course, recruits are best fooled, not to mention sitting together, as long as you tell them that being a deserter is to be shot, many recruits will tremble with fear. And the veteran oils who survived from the battlefield, no matter what the rules are useless to them, and there are only two of them who crawl out of the pile of dead people who ask to live and have money to spend. And the recruitment policy of the New 33rd Army really made them very excited.

However, Liu Chundao didn't care at all about his recruitment propaganda to give the troops on the front line the national character to draw salaries, and at this time he was worried about limiting the number of people in their division to the appropriate number.

One day the strength of one regiment is increased, and things are becoming more and more troublesome, food, clothing, housing and transportation, Liu Chundao has become a nanny, and these things can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket in the army.

"Division commander, today our ten recruitment offices have exceeded the upper line, do we still want to recruit soldiers?" One of the recruiters of Liu Chundao's division waited for Liu Chundao's order.

"That's it for today, I'll ask my family for their opinions!" Liu Chundao also lost his attention, so many people would become a burden to them if they were not transformed into combat power as soon as possible.

Liu Chundao sent a telegram to Taihang Mountain and Taiyuan, the first reply to Liu Chundao was Hu Guoshan, Hu Guoshan and they also encountered the same problem, the displaced people incident that occurred some time ago has caused great damage to the local productive forces, and many people have lost the foundation of their own survival, in order to find a way to eat, they can only join the army as soldiers. Hu Guoshan's current strength has grown even crazier than Liu Chundao's growth in the past few days.

In the end, in desperation, Hu Guoshan could only train them as militia first.

"Division commander, telegram from the command!"

"The signal corps has given the order, and each regiment will recruit for another day tomorrow! Then hurry up and train the troops! After reading the telegram, Liu Chundao immediately ordered.

The slogan of the training of the soldiers of Zhongtiao Mountain resounded all over the world, and the two sides seemed to be very calm, and the soldiers occasionally exchanged fires or chatted about what they ate today, and the relationship eased a lot, but they were still on guard against each other, after all, maybe one day the fight would start.

However, after thoroughly understanding the New 33rd Army, the soldiers of the National Army also felt more and more that the New 33rd Army was good, and in terms of food alone, although the New 33rd Army did not say that it was good to manage it every day, it was absolutely full, on the other hand, they had two thin meals a day, only at noon, and they were not at all, and they were hungry before dinner. Therefore, at a glance on the position, it is possible to distinguish which side is the national army and which side is the soldiers of the new 33rd Army.

PS: Happy New Year, strive for three more today!
