Erhei, who had just been arrested and joined the national army this year, was only 17 years old. The thin little body was not able to support the military uniform on his body, and the steel helmet issued to him was not suitable, so Erhei had to stand guard with one hand on the steel helmet, otherwise the steel helmet would slide off his head and hit his feet. Erhei's unit is a garrison force on the periphery of Chongqing, which belongs to a temporary division, said to be a division, but in fact, there are only about 3,000 people, except for some of the veterans of the defeated army, the others are just captured like Erhei.

A month ago, a group of displaced people who were coerced by the rout attacked the temple, not only robbed the food and killed all the monks in the temple, but also scraped off the gold paint on the Buddha statue with a knife, and the valuable objects in the temple were gone, and this abandoned temple became the station of the temporary editor of the two blacks. Since they can eat enough to eat and live in a big house when they enter the army, they have come and gone, and these captured strong men have also lived a lot.

"Parking, which part of you guys are?" Holding his steel helmet in one hand and a rifle in the other, Erhei walked towards the jeep parked outside the barricade. What he stopped was two jeeps with blue sky and white sun flags, but the words written on both sides of the jeep were not recognized by Erhei.

"Don't talk nonsense, go and call your regiment commander to come out, and say that someone is coming from the Ministry of Military Affairs" An officer in a straight woolen national army uniform jumped out of the first jeep, and the rank on the officer's collar Erhei didn't know, but he knew the pistol pinned to the officer's waist, which was a horse brand, and Erhei had a pistol like that. Erhei, who had just wiped the gun for the regiment commander a few days ago, knew that only senior officials were qualified to wear such a pistol.

Without saying a word, Erhei ran back, and after a lot of effort, the out of breath head Zhang Dachu ran over with a drunken body. "We are from the Ministry of Military Affairs to select soldiers in your regiment, this is a warrant from the Ministry of Military Affairs" The impatient officer who had been waiting for a long time directly threw the warrant of the Ministry of Military Affairs to Zhang Dachu, as for whether Zhang Dachu could understand it, it was not his business.

"Pick troops? What kind of soldiers? Zhang Dachu's strength was still dissipated, and he took the warrant of the Ministry of Military Affairs in a daze, and there was no other word in the warrant, but it said that the Ministry of Military Affairs would transfer some veterans from the garrison troops around Chongqing to form a team directly under the Ministry of Military Affairs, but as for the number and standard of transfer, the warrant was not written. Zhang Dachu only remembered one thing after watching it for a long time, and the soldiers selected by the Ministry of Military Affairs this time must be veterans who have fought in battles for more than three years and seen blood.

"Turtle son's" Zhang Dachu couldn't help but curse in a low voice, there are not many veterans who have broken down from the north, and there are only about 50 veterans in his regiment of more than 400 people. "Sir, there are only about 30 veterans in my regiment, don't you choose it, if you get them all away, my regiment will fall apart" Zhang Dachu took out a cigarette with a smile on his face, and had a relationship with the colonel from the Ministry of Military Affairs.

"Commander Zhang, there are 54 veterans in your regiment, most of them are veterans who have fought and seen blood, these are all prepared in our military and political department, you still ask them all to come out and gather, maybe you can't choose it, we want the best this time" The colonel of the military and political department who took the cigarette still didn't let go, but just gave Zhang Dachu a look, implying that this elm head, the guys sitting in the jeep are the main ones, and he is just an idler who leads the way.

Zhang Dachu is a delicate guy in the end, and he can see the meaning from the colonel's eyes, but the guys who have been sitting in the jeep have never gotten out of the car, and Zhang Dachu can't find a chance to talk to him at all. For the sake of the veterans who his subordinates finally got in, Zhang Dachu had to lean over with a face, "A few brothers, smoke and smoke" When Zhang Dachu got closer, he found that there were two big-nosed foreigners sitting in the jeep, although they were both wearing the military uniforms of the national army, but the arrogance on their bodies was not something that ordinary lieutenants could have, and it was full of the appearance and style of a superior.

"Commander Zhang, let's get down to business first" A captain officer in the lead pushed away the cigarette that Zhang Dachu handed over, "This is an order personally given by the chairman, let's not prevaricate" The captain officer with a smile on his face got out of the jeep, and his words did not tend to be attached to the meeting because his military rank was lower than Zhang Dachu, but he kept saying that he was following the orders of the chairman of the committee, which made Zhang Dachu dumbfounded.

Although what Zhang Dachu was holding in his hand was a warrant from the Ministry of Military Affairs, it was also an order personally issued by Chairman Jiang, and he was just an unpopular regiment commander of a temporary division, so naturally he did not dare to go against the people of the Ministry of Military Affairs. After thinking about it again, Zhang Dachu gritted his teeth and called out all the veterans who were easy to get him, but he was looking forward to it in his heart, these guys from the Ministry of Military Affairs should not be too dark, how could they leave a few veterans for themselves, but they couldn't let their regiment break up.

Xu is these guys from the Ministry of Military Affairs heard Zhang Dachu's heart, and when they picked people, they didn't give them all the way, after shooting, running with weights, and assembling firearms, they only took 7 people from Zhang Dachu's 54 veterans. "Commander Zhang, don't be angry, your regiment is just our first stop, there are other groups that have gone to other regiments of your division, it is estimated that they will be almost finished picking people, tomorrow we will go to other troops, this time the entire Chongqing garrison will be picked again, but it is not one of your divisions" The captain who moved out of the committee just now pressed Zhang Dachu and threw Zhang Dachu a cigar when he left, which made Zhang Dachu's heart feel better.

The captain wearing the uniform of the national army is Yu Dazhi, and the mercenaries who stayed in Chongqing with Zhao Zhi were all divided into groups of three or five, with the warrants and guides of the Ministry of Military Affairs to pick troops everywhere, Zhao Zhi gave them three days, and within three days, 1,000 veterans who had seen blood on the battlefield or had special skills in the rivers and lakes must be selected. Yu Dazhi wanted to deal with those people in the rivers and lakes, but he was one step slower, and Yan Wudao snatched this opportunity, the reason is that Yan Wudao had been in Chongqing for a while when he was young, and Yu Dazhi was a northern Yankee at all, and he had been to the Zhili area as far as possible.
