Lan Caiqin adjusted the deployment of troops on the coastline, which is equivalent to taking back his fists to accumulate liliang, which is in line with Bai Shujie's use of this time to improve the first-line main division and expand the artillery regiment.

If the enemy and us are always in tension as they are at present, there will be no room for the troops to maneuver, and even if an artillery regiment is added, it will not be able to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

If the bow and arrows are drawn too full, they will break sooner or later. One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs. The ancients had already "passed" thousands of years ago!

Both sides seem to be exhausted, and have no desire to continue the war, so there is a strange equilibrium around Rehe again, and I will not mention it for the time being.

It is said that after a night of chaotic fighting in Zhangwu County, all the facilities belonging to the little devils were in ruins. Above the ruins are layers of corpses, which is shocking.

And Chen Jie's unit opened the whole army the next night, and disappeared without a trace under the cover of night. Of course, to do this, it is definitely not possible to rely only on Chen Jie's own liliang.

It was also a telegram from Bai Shujie, ordering the cavalry battalion of Guan Xingguo's division of the Guards Division to send two companies to the front line of Tongliao and Tieling to "travel", which caused the enemies in Tongliao, Fengtian, Tieling, and Siping to panic. By the time the dust settled, Chen Jie's department was nowhere to be found.

Chen Jie's department naturally did not disappear, but took advantage of the favorable opportunity of Guan Xingguo's two cavalry companies to rush to the foot of the "Caiyun Villa" established by Lan Caiqin and the female soldier company that night.

Barely staying, Chen Jie organized three companies of the original task force to carry out a night attack from the cliff of the back mountain. Without alarming anyone, a squad of 47 little devils was killed, which was the first retaliation against the bloody incident in the Tower Hill position.

The large army then went up the mountain for a short rest, where Chen Jie had to complete an important task, that is, the examination work before entering the Donggou secret camp.

Because the core secrets of the task force are involved, if the team is not pure enough, and there is a storm and defects to the enemy, the task force is basically finished.

Chen Jie's intention was to organize these prisoners of war into a "recruit company" and then put them in other places for training and understanding. However, Bai Shujie sent a telegram the day before yesterday, asking Chen Jie to integrate the troops in the South Manchurian region and form an independent regiment to persist in the long-term struggle.

The so-called South Manchurian troops are the two seeds sown by Bai Shujie the year before last: one is the "Zhuang Xingguo Beggars Anti-Japanese Team" hidden in the secret camp of Xiong Yuling, and later continued to carry the signboard of the "Pingdingshan Revenge Team", and now it has grown to 447 people.

The other is the "guerrillas" of Tan Zhongping and Huang Suzhen in the southwest area of Lianshan Pass, and early reconnaissance found that there were 17 people.

Chen Jie felt that Tan Zhongping's guerrillas did not yet have the scale to be reorganized, so he would not consider it this time. Those who need to be screened are the 447 people in Zhuang Xingguo. Therefore, the ancient tomb camp is not a place to stay for a long time, and it is necessary to return to the Donggou secret camp as soon as possible to reorganize the team. Since the boss wants to form an independent regiment, it means that there must be big moves next.

After all, Zhangwu lost 57 people in this battle, and 21 people were lightly and seriously wounded and returned to the Sanxiandong base area. At the same time, 167 people and 637 war horses were added, and naturally a large number of strategic materials were brought back to be sorted out. As for the 26 cars and mountain artillery that were originally captured, they were all handed over to Guan Xingguo to take back.

The original special battalion was 517 people, this time 24 people were sacrificed, 8 were lightly and seriously wounded, a total of 32 people were reduced, and 485 people remained. Later, the newly formed independent battalion was 491 people, and after the First World War of Zhangwu, there are still 445 people left. The two battalions totaled 930 people, plus the 167 rescued "prisoners of war" who followed, for a total of 1,097 people.

What needs to be reviewed is the 445 members of the new independent battalion and the 167 prisoners of war who have been liberated. Because those secret camps are all very involved, once they are leaked out, the consequences will be very serious.

Especially after the infiltration of Luanping and Chengde spies, Chen Jie could not but be cautious about the link of "organizational review".

The first step was to convene the deputy company commander and above of Weng Shiming's independent battalion for a separate meeting, emphasizing the next work procedures, explaining the importance of internal security review, and dispelling the ideological concerns of the new members.

The second step is to emphasize the cruelty of the next step to the new members, and to mobilize the new members who are not mentally prepared to see themselves as dead.

The third step is to establish a file for each person's origins, recording all the experiences from the "918 Incident" to the present, and at least two people need to provide circumstantial evidence.

Bai Shujie never believed that through "meticulous ideological work", a coward could be turned into a predator. Therefore, he invented a set of "farewell measures" to eliminate complex members of the army as soon as possible.

When other units recruit new soldiers, they all emphasize how glorious their future deeds will be and how bright the future will be.

But Bai Shujie has always "talked about it": how there are batches of dead people every day, how terrifying the scene of the dead is, and there may not be any corpses collected if they die in battle! In addition, two slogans for recruiting troops were proposed:

The first sentence: "To be a soldier is to send to death, and those who are not afraid of death will come in!" Come in, don't try to get out alive! ”

The second sentence: "Follow Lao Tzu as a soldier, you won't get anything!" No money! No official! No women! Nothing! If you want to do it, come in, and if you don't want to do it, get out! ”

These two slogans, every time the Rehe Front recruits new recruits, they use black characters on a white background to make billboards and erect them in the most eye-catching position on the square. All those who sign up to join the army must first memorize these two sentences and then register at the enlistment office.

Therefore, there is a saying in Rehe: "If you go to Bai Shujie's conscription office to register, it will be the same as going to Lord Yama, you must not have any other ideas!" ”

This person, especially young people, may have a rebellious mentality.

Luanping County recruits troops in spring and autumn every year, and the Military Management Office of the Northwest Army also recruits troops there. However, the good seedlings who were favored by the officers on both sides all ran over to recite Bai Shujie's slogan, and then registered with Lord Yan, so Rehe was able to complete the conscription task in advance every year!

This time, Chen Jie also made two such signboards to stand on the square, and then officially started the first retort content: everyone recited the "Commander-in-Chief's Quotations"!

Not to mention, after three days of work, a total of 27 people left automatically! Among them, 23 of the 167 new prisoners of war left, which was basically expected by everyone.

However, Weng Shiming's cavalry company of the independent battalion also left 4 people, which made Weng Shiming and several company commanders and deputy company commanders look very ugly!

The reason for this is very simple, because these four people have personally experienced the battlefield of blood and fire, and understand that "anti-Japanese" is not just with mouths, and they will die at any time!

One moment you're still laughing, the next you're probably going to be a corpse, that's the harsh reality! When attacking the dark fort of the railway station, 19 people were killed in three charges, and these 4 people were already frightened!

On the evening of the fourth day, Chen Jie gathered everyone together and said, "Brothers who choose to stay, you are good!" On behalf of the Rehe Front, I would now like to formally welcome you to this heroic unit! The glory of the future will definitely belong to you, because you really deserve the title of Chinese! ”

"No one will blame you for those who choose to leave. After all, there is only one life, and not anyone can take their life seriously. But I hope you will behave yourself, if one day I see you acting as a tiger, the eight military regulations and seven killing orders of the Rehe Front, you must have memorized them! ”

That night, the 27 people who chose to leave were quarantined because the next course of action was not what these people should know. When they woke up the next day, there were two oceans in front of everyone. As for the guns and ammunition, they are gone, and the large army is gone.

When he came to the Donggou secret camp, Chen Jie sent Li Bozhou to the Xiong Yuling secret camp in the south to meet with Zhuang Xingguo, announcing that the "Pingdingshan Revenge Team" was officially included in the establishment of the Rehe Front Army and immediately accepted the reorganization. Considering that Zhuang Xingguo's legs and feet are inconvenient, he will be arranged to return to Chengde to accept a new job.

After screening, among the 447 people in Zhuang Xingguo, a complete company of 230 people was selected. The other 217 were older enough to be guerrillas, but not able to cope with the complexities of combat. Including Xian Yu Tongwu and Wan Yiwen, because they were both over 35 years old, they were not selected.

Zuihou, Li Bozhou decided to form a reinforced platoon, and equip them all with war horses, and then arrange a combat platoon to escort them into the territory of Fuxin, so that Zhang Xiang's 1st Division could be sent back to Chengde. Bai Shujie has already said that these people are guerrilla tactics instructors of the supplementary brigade.

In particular, Zhuang Xingguo was born as a scholar, and if it weren't for the disability of his legs, he would have been a very good chief of staff of the division.

Sure enough, Zhuang Xingguo did not enter Chengde in the end, but was left in the First Division by Zhang Xiang, and then gave Bai Shujie a telegram and was appointed Chief of Staff of the First Division! This is all for later, so I won't mention it.

After all the people were concentrated in the Donggou secret camp, Chen Jie knew a total number: 1,300 people, plus his own words, it was 1,301 people.

In fact, Li Bozhou only asked for 230 people from Zhuang Xingguo after calculating this number, and the rest are actually backbone liliang, returning to Chengde can come in handy, and it is not worth sacrificing here!

After some calculations, Chen Jie found Weng Shiming, Zhang Minghan, Gao Jingxiang, and naturally the three company commanders of the original task force, Li Bozhou, Zheng Zhikuan, and Ma Chongde, to discuss Zuihou.

"If you are an old man of the Rehe Front, you will know that in our team, there is no distinction between high and low positions, only the division of labor. For we have no rulers here, and we have no people. Everyone is the same and belongs to the civilian armed forces, at least for now. ”

"Therefore, the next step in forming an independent regiment is mainly to take into account the strengths of each person and the need for future battles. There will certainly be a change in the positions of our people, at least in terms of titles. I hope that you will not have any thoughts that will affect the unity in the future. ”

"We are now 1,300 people, and according to the establishment of the Rehe Front, this is less than two battalions, and it cannot be organized into a regiment. The commander-in-chief gave us a regimental structure for the convenience of expanding our troops in the future. Next, I would like to announce the composition of our independent regiment. ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
