After a period of investigation, Ma Zheng and others finally figured out the distribution of bandit dreadlocks around Hades Mountain. To be honest, Ma Zheng really didn't expect that there would be so many bandits in this place. Not counting the horse bandits who came and went without a trace, there were 44 handbags alone who took root in the local area and occupied the mountains as kings, and these bandits were hundreds or thousands of people as big as a pole, and twenty or thirty people as small as twenty or thirty people, almost all other places outside the county town were controlled.

Originally, this Chahar was originally a poor place, far away from the mountains, and the people were fierce! In addition, natural disasters have been frequent in recent years, and there are more people who have fallen into the grass.

Although each strand is under the banner of Tianxingdao, there are not many heroes and bandits. When you're in a good mood, it's already good not to kill or hurt people, but when you're in a bad mood, they're all thugs who do all kinds of evil, so there is no psychological burden at all on training these people to train Ma Zheng.

Besides, what are those bandits doing with their strong bodies, if they have to be bandits, instead of being poked in the backbone and scolded for being guts bandits, it is better to gather them all together and pull them to the battlefield to contribute to the country and the nation.

Besides, the war is coming, and it is necessary to clean the house and meet the enemy, otherwise it will not be beautiful to be mixed in by the Japanese and start a fire in the backyard.

On January 3, 1938, the third day of the lunar month, Ma Zheng issued a combat order against all bandit locks near Hades Mountain. Except for the 1st Company and the Women's Special Service Company that stayed at the base camp, the rest of the departments all received orders from the battalion headquarters to radiate to the surrounding areas with Yama Mountain as the center.

Ma Zheng demanded that all companies draw up detailed battle plans, regardless of whether they are big or small, and that the bandits can be absorbed as much as possible, and those who cannot be integrated will be eliminated on the spot.

Erlong Mountain. The Hall of Justice.

"The big boss, the big boss, no, it's not good, the people from Hades Mountain have called," a small minion ran in in a panic and reported.

"Little Liuzi, what kind of fucking system do you have, don't you sincerely lose your uncle's face? He Yun Batian ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and actually beat me Erlongshan, he was really impatient? A man with a scarred face scolded angrily.

"The big boss, it's really someone from Yama Mountain who called, and the little one who saw Wu Laosan from Yama Mountain!" The little minion said in a panic.

"You read that right?"

"The little one is absolutely not mistaken, you go and take a look!"

"You said that the people from Hades Mountain called, or the team led by Wu Laosan, we and their well water do not interfere with the river water, why do you want to beat me Erlong Mountain?" The Great Leader of Erlong Mountain, Xiaotian Tiger, hurriedly asked.

"I don't know if I don't have this little one." The little minion said with a pale face.

"Useless thing, let the brothers gather, and Lao Tzu will meet these bastards"

"Yes"

Little Montenegro. The lair of the bandit nine-tailed fox.

"Brother, the people of Hades Mountain have surrounded the mountain!" A woman in a power suit with clear eyebrows ran in from outside and said.

In the wooden attic on the top of the mountain, a rough-looking man asked in a deep voice: "Damn, what do you want to do with Yun Batian's son of a bitch, how many people are there?" ”

"There are more than two hundred of them, and I can see that they have set up small steel cannons, and they may attack us at any time."

"When did Yun Batian get the little steel cannon? It's not going to be a good fight! ”

"Brother, why don't we take someone to retreat from the back mountain?"

"No, this little black mountain is a treasure of feng shui, besides, we have more than a thousand brothers, and the army is several times more than them, so they may not be able to win us. Let the brothers gather immediately, and I will meet these soft bears."

"Yes"

Under Ma Zheng's full operation, the locks near Hades Mountain all moved. In the next half month, there were battles everywhere, guns were fought everywhere, bandit silks were eliminated every day, and captives were taken back to Hades Mountain every day, and for a time everyone in the nearby bandits was in danger.

By the middle of January 38, all the bandits near Mount Yama were wiped out by Ma Zheng's department, and the bandit suppression operation eliminated more than 40 bandit armies, eliminated and killed more than 820 bandits, captured more than 3,600 people, and seized a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and equipment, and of course some food, and the results were brilliant.

As a result of this anti-bandit operation, the troops not only captured a great deal of them, but more importantly, through battles large and small, the momentum of the entire unit was brought out, almost all the fighters had been on the battlefield, and the special combat units were even more frequently dispatched, and their actual combat experience was markedly enhanced.

For this group of prisoners, Ma Zheng gave them two choices, one was to join the Eighth Route Army and become a regular anti-Japanese force. Ma Zheng knew that except for a few people who were full of evil, they really deserved to be killed. But the essence of the vast majority of people is still good, but this world does not allow people to live, and they fell into the grass and embarked on this road of no return, and the incorporation of them also conforms to the regulations of the Eighth Route Army.

Another option, Ma Zheng did not say it explicitly, but let them guess for themselves. For the important things related to the life of the family, how dare the thieves guess at will, especially the more such things, the more cautious everyone is, and finally after some thought, all the people decided to join the Eighth Route Army.

However, Ma Zheng also said that it is not as easy as imagined to become a qualified soldier of the Eighth Route Army, not that they take off their bandit uniforms and change into the military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, that is the Eighth Route Army, it is not so simple.

If you want to become a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, or even an officer, you have to go through an assessment. As long as they can pass the assessment, Ma Zheng can not only exempt them from their crimes, but also change their household registration to military registration, and their families can enjoy the treatment of military dependents, and they can be upright people in the future. Even if they die in battle one day, their families will be treated favorably by the Eighth Route Army.

Ma Zheng knew that most of these people were ruthless characters, and most of them had fought with guns and even killed people, as long as they had undergone some rigorous training and made them realize that they were already regular soldiers, these people would definitely not let him down.

Ma Zheng used to be the commander of the most elite special forces in China, so he has his own understanding of elite soldiers. Many people like decent and obedient soldiers, but Ma Zheng is different, the more soldiers who understand the rules, the more they lack blood. It may be possible to resolutely carry out the order, but the combat effectiveness is generally not too strong. On the contrary, those thorny soldiers are different, most of them are really capable people.

In order to train these bandits and bandits into qualified soldiers, Ma Zheng reorganized these people into three supplementary brigades of 1,200 people, which did not have a number for the time being.

Ma Zheng said that they need to get the number back by themselves. In addition, Ma Zheng also told the new group of bandits that except for the instructors who trained them, he would not transfer any officers to the three brigades, and all the officers of the army would be selected from among them, and as for who could be the captain, it would depend on their own ability.

After listing all the training subjects, Ma Zheng told every soldier that the training subjects were there, and if he could get a good ranking in the comprehensive assessment, then he could be the captain, and the second place was the deputy captain, and so on.

With the incentive of the official position, without the supervision of Ma Zheng, the enthusiasm for training of all people will naturally be raised. In addition, the soldiers of these three brigades were originally from bandits, and everyone's physical fitness was originally good. In just over half a month, after these people learned the most basic common sense, the results of the training were quickly manifested, and their combat effectiveness tended to catch up.

Chahar is located in the northern Xinjiang of China, the people are fierce, and the physique of the common people is far stronger than that of the southerners, and nine of the ten people are tall and tall. To be able to become a high-risk profession like a bandit, the physical fitness is naturally not too bad, so after half a month, Ma Zheng once again increased the training tasks of the three brigades.

According to Ma Zheng's requirements, the troops get up at 5:30 every morning, and after warming up, they run 5,000 meters with a weight of 20 kilograms. After the run, breakfast, of course, the last fifty don't think about breakfast.

After breakfast, cross 500 meters of barbed wire and make 100 round-trips. 10 sets of push-ups of 60 each. 10 sets of 100 sit-ups. This is followed by sun resistance training, standing with a gun, hanging a brick with a rope at the muzzle, and drying motionless for 2 hours.

Combat training lasts for two hours, all of which are confrontational combat. Immediately followed by live firing, 10 rounds per person, 70 rings are considered qualified. Half an hour after dinner, continue to run 5000 meters with a weight of 20 kg. In addition, there is a weight-bearing cross-country every other week, covering a distance of 60 to 100 km.

Although the training intensity of the rest of the troops is not small, it is not like the three supplementary brigades that are in a high-pressure state at all times. Ma Zheng had previously said that if they could not successfully meet the standards in the final assessment, they would be assigned to the death squad. Under the threat of death, they can only tap the full potential of their bodies and train desperately.

In order to motivate this group of bandits who felt that they were first-class dwarves, Ma Zheng would appear on the training ground on time every day when they were training, and occasionally lead the team to train in person. And far from being less trained than ordinary soldiers, they are much more than them. With the stimulation of Ma Zheng's leading role and official position, everyone trained like crazy, and even one person died directly on the training ground.
