"Conscription? You are crazy, there is no order from above, where does our second company have the power to dare to pull Zhuang Ding casually. Liu Goat didn't know the news that Xie Bo wanted to recruit troops in Qiandeng Town until it was almost dinner time. As the successor who is about to succeed Xie Bo in commanding the second company, Liu Goat hopes that the second company will be strong and strong, but the second company belongs to the 88th Division, and it is a violation of military discipline to recruit soldiers privately, and if the above does not agree with the private recruitment of the second company, these soldiers recruited in Qiandeng Town will not even have to get military salaries.

Liu Goat has always been a passable mess in the 88th Division, if he hadn't looked at Xie Bo quite well, I'm afraid that when Xie Bo was seriously injured and fell to the ground, Liu Goat would have left Xie Bo and the wounded soldiers of the second company and ran away. The 88th Division is a well-equipped German Mechanic Division, and it is also a descendant unit that the chairman regards as the treasure in his palm, and the troops next to him have long been eyeing their German Mechanic Division and can't bite off a piece of meat, Qiandeng Town is located in a transportation hub, and Xie Bo is simply taking the initiative to give the handle to those who are staring at the 88th Division.

It's okay to say that Xie Bo is in control of a unit above the regimental level, but now he is only a departing captain, and his command is only an infantry company. It was okay to be arrested and locked up for a few days, Liu Goat was afraid that Xie Bo's military position would be demoted above, Xie Bo had already been injured like this, if it weren't for the help of his Huangpu classmates at the same time, I am afraid that it would not be his turn to go to Chongqing for this idle errand, but if Xie Bo was demoted to a military position, Chongqing's affairs would be in vain.

"The order given by the regiment is to garrison Qiandeng Town, and by the way, to ensure the smoothness of that avenue, do you understand? Our main task is to garrison Qiandeng Town to rest, and the road is only secondary, secondary. Brothers, you have just settled down, which soldier you recruited, you knew that Lu Dao was like this, then we might as well stay in Shanghai. This was the first time Tang Cheng had seen Liu Goat yelling at Xie Bo, and no one else, including Nian Zi and Niu Wazi, dared to come up to persuade him, so everyone could only hide on the side and watch silently, watching the fierce quarrel that broke out between Liu Goat and Xie Bo.

"Hey, I've learned how to write words, I think I taught you." Looking at Xie Bo, who was weak, was actually the one with the most aura among the two, in the face of Liu Goat's insistence, Xie Bo just snorted and smiled, "What is the main and secondary, we are soldiers, I can't understand those foreign words, I will only tell you one sentence, this soldier must be recruited, and it will start recruiting tomorrow, and it will not be able to catch up if it is too late, if you are not willing to do this, then I will let the mill take Tang Cheng to go." ”

"Can you let the donkey kick that brain? The mill is a gourd with a sawed mouth, three sticks can't make a fart, and that kid in Tangcheng is a young man, don't you look at what he did to shoot that Niu Ah Si and two shots, you let these two boys go to the army, then it is better to let Niu Wazi bring a rope and go directly to catch the strong man. Liu Goat and Xie Bo have not been together for a day or two, and naturally know that Xie Bo will not suddenly want to recruit for no reason, after the first hesitation appeared in his mind, Liu Goat has unconsciously changed his tone.

"There are only more than 30 people left in our company, and half of them are wounded, and there are only you and the mill in the people, and a few of them are okay, then you don't go, I can only send the mill to go, and the cow can only stay here to help the kitchen burn." Hearing the hesitation in Liu Goat's words, Xie Bo showed a very embarrassed face, Liu Goat has always been a master who eats soft rather than hard, arguing with him will only make things more troublesome, and he will be dumbfounded if he can choke on words.

"Then I'll go, you tell me why you have to recruit soldiers in Qiandeng Town?" Liu Goat turned around and blasted back the lively guys, and only asked quietly after closing the door of Xie Bo's room. The location of Qiandeng Town is really not suitable for the second company to recruit, but Xie Bo is so insistent, Liu Shanyang wants to know why Xie Bo is so anxious to recruit soldiers?

"Have you forgotten those corpses we buried outside of Thousand Lights?" Xie Bo's one-eyed eyes looked particularly bright under the oil lamp, "Since the Japanese army can send such a small group of troops to disguise themselves as national troops and blend among the refugees, then they can also blend into Qiandeng Town or Suzhou City." This Qiandeng Town is the only way for our 88th Division to retreat to Suzhou, once it is occupied by the Japanese army, then there will be no way for our division to retreat. ”

"I know this, but what does this have to do with you having to recruit here?" Liu Goat still didn't understand.

"Are you stupid? We can fight with guns now only a dozen of you, no conscription, what do you use to fight the Japanese army, only one infantry squad of the Japanese army is enough to clean up us. As he spoke, the breath that Xie Bo had been holding on finally weakened. It is an indisputable fact that the Nationalist Army was defeated by the Japanese Army. It's okay to deal with a few lone Japanese troops, but once the Japanese army is dispatched in a squad unit, if it wants to deal with them, it must use more than double the number of national troops, because the national army is inferior to the Japanese army in terms of cooperative operations.

"Then do you know that Lu Dao's private conscription will bring trouble to you and the second company? The key is that we don't have a conscription order from the division headquarters or the regiment, and we still need a name to catch the strong men. This Thousand Lights Town is full of people, but no one is stupid enough to follow you to carry a gun to fight, if it weren't for the fear of death, would they come to this Thousand Lights Town from Shanghai? You expect to find the master who dares to kill from a group of death-fearing ghosts, I think enough is enough. Liu Goat, who found the answer, began to try his best to get Xie Bo to dispel the idea of conscription, because there was no suitable source of soldiers here.

Xie Bo nodded with deep sympathy, and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, I have already asked Niu Wazi to go out to see it in the afternoon, and the people of Qiandeng Town are now panicking, and they are all asking Niu Wazi how the battle in Shanghai is, and it can be seen that they still want to go back to Shanghai, but they are afraid that the national army will be defeated in Shanghai and attract the retaliation of the Japanese soldiers." No matter what purpose Liu Goat was in to prevent himself from recruiting troops in Qiandeng Town, Xie Bo admitted that Liu Goat's words were very reasonable, the people of Qiandeng Town were indeed not suitable to go into battle, because they were afraid of death, otherwise Niu Ah Si and a few of their regiments would be able to force thousands of people to pay the toll money to enter Qiandeng Town.

Seeing that Xie Bo's attitude had loosened, Liu Goat didn't say anything anymore, but just sat there looking at Xie Bo with straight eyebrows. He himself is a soft eater, not hard, Xie Bo is not a donkey, Liu Goat believes that Xie Bo can make the right judgment, and continuing to quarrel with Xie Bo at this time will only make things worse, and this is not what Liu Goat wants to see. "In any case, we still have a little less manpower now, and we need to add at least 30 people, so that we have 3 squads of manpower, and even if we encounter a small infiltration force of the Japanese army, we can fight them."

"What the hell are you thinking? You haven't listened to a word of what I've said for a long time, and conscription without permission is a violation of military discipline, and I don't think you, the captain, want to do it. Seeing that Xie Bo had made up his mind to recruit troops in Qiandeng Town, Liu Goat finally couldn't sit still and jumped. Recruits are not trained and you can pull them up and fight to the death with the Japanese? How many can there be like Tang Cheng? Once these recruits slip away during the firefight, they will take our own people away, do you know the road? ”

"Calm down first, you have to listen to me finish speaking." Xie Bo smiled and threw a cigarette to Liu Goat, and then smoked the cigarette in his mouth with the match that Liu Goat was drawing, "This conscription is like what you said is a violation of military discipline, I am also a captain and officer who graduated from Huangpu, how can I do anything that violates military discipline." ”

"We are not recruiting soldiers for the second company, but helping Qiandeng Town recruit regiments, this Qiandeng Town is full of refugees, and the security is naturally much worse, and there are still many black sheep like Niu Ah Si here, so we have to help Qiandeng Town recruit their own regiments. If the Japanese don't come, the regiment will guard this thousand lamps town, if the Japanese touch it, isn't it justifiable for our regular army to command them? ”

"Where's the money? Qiandeng Town will not pay this money, what kind of conscription will we take, there is no military salary, and no one wants to be this regiment. Liu Goat, who lowered his head and smoked, moved a little, but when he thought of the military rank, he turned his head and shook his eyes at Xie Bo. Before we went with the group, I went to get some food money, but today I used it for you at the town clinic. Thanks to Niu Ah Si, the money they collected to buy the road was quietly collected by Niu Wazi, otherwise it would be difficult for the brothers to even eat, where would there be money for you to conscript. ”

"Don't we have extra rifles? You have a lot of roads, find someone to sell it, and if you sell the gun, you will have money, you will have money for conscription, and you will have money to buy our own belongings. Xie Bo leaned over with a cigarette in his mouth and discussed with Liu Goat in a low voice, but as soon as the latter heard that he was going to sell guns, he immediately shook his head and said that he would not do it.

"I think you're a magic barrier, our rifles are all authentic Mauser rifles, not Hanyang-made and old sleeves, this sells guns and recruits, I think you're tired of living." Liu Goat was very noisy, and he didn't agree with Xie Bo's proposal, but after Xie Bo whispered a few more words, Liu Goat, who was full of displeasure, still took a few of them out of the gang and went around for a while.

"There are too few rich people in this small local area, and guns and bullets can't be sold at a high price, Lao Tzu sold 100 oceans for 8 Hanyang with 100 bullets, and this half of the pork is still exchanged for a watch." After a full meal of braised pork and flatbread, Liu Goat couldn't help but sigh for a while, Xie Bo asked him to sell 8 Hanyang made in the afternoon from Tuan Ding's hands, if it is placed in Shandong and Henan bandits, these 8 Hanyang made can be sold for at least 150 yuan.
