If you want to ask what the Eighth Route Army is best at, the Chairman will know the best.

One is good at fighting guerrilla warfare, accumulating small victories into big victories, constantly bleeding the enemy, and finally winning.

Another is recruiting troops. In terms of the establishment of the military committee of the National Government, the Eighth Route Army was only a unit with tens of thousands of people under the Third Division and Sixth Brigade.

But in 1940, a 400,000 army suddenly popped up.

This speed is unprecedented!

How can the Independent Group let go of this fine tradition? The same is true for the Second Battalion.

Therefore, with the approval of the regiment headquarters, the Second Battalion will also expand greatly. This time Shuwa Village will become the base camp for the battalion headquarters to recruit soldiers and horses. Yuan Pengfei's slogan is that by next winter, the Second Battalion must become a strengthening battalion of 600 people and become the strongest battalion in the independent regiment.

The next morning, the cadres of the battalion were like hardworking little bees, going in and out, organizing recruitment matters.

Two propaganda officers walked across Shuwa Village with several soldiers. Their goal was to let everyone in the village know that the Eighth Route Army was going to recruit soldiers.

"Aunt Zhang, our Eighth Route Army is going to recruit soldiers. It's right at the entrance of the village. You can let your son come and have a look."

"Uncle, the soldiers we recruited this time were led by our Battalion Commander Yuan. He is a well-known figure in our Independent Regiment. He has won a battle and is a rare opportunity."

I don’t know how many similar words have been said, and my mouth is almost worn out, but the effect is also great. By the time they return to the entrance of the village, almost everyone in the village who can move is already here.

Several soldiers were helping to maintain order. Some young and middle-aged men wanted to line up to sign up for the army, while some aunts and uncles couldn't help but feel a little worried, and they held the soldiers' hands and asked questions.

It’s just whether the food is good, whether the clothes are warm, whether the training is hard, how many Japanese soldiers have been killed in battle?

The soldiers also answered the questions patiently, but there were too many people asking questions, and the soldiers recruiting soldiers in the battalion were limited, which could not satisfy everyone's curiosity for a while. At this recruitment place, the noise of talking and talking was all affected, which affected the normal order of recruitment.

At this time, someone needs to be able to suppress the scene. The chief officer always stings like a black bread, and it is particularly deterrent when he stands there.

He stood at the highest point and shouted to the villagers around him: "Friends, be quiet, if you have any questions, you will satisfy everyone's curiosity."

The custodian of Shuwa Village also stood beside him and echoed: "Friends, the Eighth Route Army is the army of our people and the army to fight the Japanese.

All this is for the sake of our people. Everyone should actively support joining the army. The young men, please join us boldly!”

The two of them sang together and not only stabilized the situation, but also dispelled some of the doubts in people's hearts. At least they would not ask some stupid questions.

The chief of security picked an old man and asked first. He asked with great pride: "Chief of the Eighth Route Army, do you recruit soldiers of all ages?"

The black-faced old man looked at him and asked, "How old is this year?"

The old man laughed and said happily: "The old man is 55 years old this year, and his grandson is 15 years old. Maybe he will be able to report his great-grandson in two years."

It can be seen that the old man is still very satisfied with raising descendants. If there are more children and more blessings, the family will become more prosperous and prosperous.

However, the young man standing behind the old man was a little dissatisfied. He raised his master and said, "Sir, I want to sign up for the Eighth Route Army, but I don't want to have a baby with my wife. The Japanese are so rampant, I want to pick up a gun to protect my family."

The black-faced old man said with a smile: "The uncle is so lucky, he has such a good grandson. The young man is full of spirit and ambition. However, our Eighth Route Army has policies and there are age restrictions for recruiting soldiers. He is over 16 years old and under 45 years old. The uncle has no chance. The young man can come to join the army again next year. We will definitely welcome him warmly."

The young man was disappointed when he heard this. How could he be defeated because of his age? He wished he could become a glorious Eighth Route Army soldier one year earlier.

The old man felt a little regretful, but he didn't think anything. He was just a grandson, and he had to rely on him to continue the incense and inherit the family line! As for joining the Eighth Route Army, they were not as old as young as they were, but his son was in his prime, and it was enough to be less than 40 years old. One of them joined the Eighth Route Army, which was enough.

After answering the question of this family, the security chief has chosen the second person, an old lady with three children.

She said: "Captain of the Eighth Route Army, I know that Commander Li of your Independent Regiment is the most powerful. My three children want to join the Eighth Route Army. I want to ask if I can join the army with the commander Li."

The old lady is also very loving to her son. It is beyond doubt that she can sign up for the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese. However, this is also divided into the commander of the superior. Under the leadership of the powerful commander, she can always win the battle and the chance of survival is also very high.

If you meet a blind leader, just like Cheng Xiaozi of the 772nd Regiment, it is very likely that his three sons will fall in a battle.

However, in this regard, it is worth it. He said proudly: "Old lady, fellow villagers, everyone in our Independent Group Commander Li knows that he is a person who has made great achievements and is a stunning figure in all directions.

Our battalion commander is the capable general of Commander Li, and he is a number of people in the independent regiment. The team he led is the most elite in the entire regiment. He can't count the number of victories he has won, and the Japanese killed can pile up into a hill.

So if we go with our battalion commander, just like Commander Li, you will definitely be able to win a battle."

After hearing this, the old lady said happily: "Okay, okay, I will definitely use my three sons to share with your battalion commander."

Other fellow villagers also whispered to each other, and some people said well-informed: "I have seen them, Battalion Commander Yuan, who was a figure with two guns on the back of the sword. A ghost-headed sword slashed countless Japanese heads. Two pistols were taken out, and they beat them up with a crackling sound. The Japanese would have to fall down a large area. It was amazing!"

After hearing this, the others were amazed and thought that Yuan Pengfei was eight feet tall, with three heads and six arms similar to the image of a military general in the Romance of History.

Yuan Pengfei stood behind and felt embarrassed to hear it.

The day after he arrived, the fellow villagers in the village visited the landlord of the camp department. The rest was the security chief of Shuwa Village whom he had only met in the morning. He had never seen anyone else, nor had anyone seen him.

This fellow villager probably heard a few words from the warrior, and combined with his own imagination, he made up his image and was considered a genius.

But if the effect can be achieved, it is enough. Yuan Pengfei doesn't care much about his image being demonized.

The chief quickly chose the third candidate, Liu Ruonan, who was only 18 years old.

This is his youngest daughter, with the care of three brothers on it, and the love between them and their husbands, their living conditions are almost as good as those of the young lady in the city. Her skin is white and tender, and she has almost never done any work.

This time, he couldn't stand his daughter's begging, so he ranked her third and gave her a chance to ask questions.

Liu Ruonan pointed and asked, "Eighth Route Army Commander, is the fair and innocent commander behind you the one you call Battalion Commander Yuan?"

The little girl was very sharp-eyed and immediately chose Yuan Pengfei, the beauty leader in the second camp. Another Li Xiucai, who was comparable to him, stood behind the table and was confused and lost.

After everyone pointed out, Yuan Pengfei stopped watching the fun and ended up in person: "My fellow villagers, I am Yuan Pengfei, the new Second Battalion Commander. The Second Battalion stationed here has caused a lot of trouble for the fellow villagers. I would like to thank the fellow villagers for their help and support.

I won’t say much about anything else. Our Eighth Route Army has always been a unit to fight the Japanese. I can’t guarantee anything else. I, Mr. Yuan, will definitely not disappoint you. So young people who want to fight the Japanese must participate enthusiastically."

The little girl's beautiful eyes were wide open, and stars were almost emerging. When his father secretly told her the news, she was still a little disbelief.

Unexpectedly, this handsome young man was the famous Captain Yuan. At this moment, she felt that she was in love.

However, Yuan Pengfei didn't think so. He answered several questions from his fellow villagers and started recruiting on the spot.

Reported over there, and the clerk Li Xian started to register: Li Xilie, 20 years old, strong in physical condition, and has a certain martial arts foundation. You can consider the Big Sword Team.

Liu Xing, 19 years old, is a thin person. He was born with a sheep and has the ability to throw stones with his hands and can be cultivated towards the bomber.

One soldier after another was registered in the roster, and in a blink of an eye, thirty or forty people were recruited, and nearly a hundred people were lined up behind him. I believe that the recruitment mission of the battalion department will be successfully completed this time.

And at this moment, a young man caught Yuan Pengfei's attention.

"You said you came from Sanyuan Town, which is the Kuomintang-controlled area. Why don't you sign up for the Jinsui Army or the Central Army?!"

The young man sneered and explained: "The chief, the Central Army, and the Shanxi-Sui Army are all birds of a feather, which is a little stronger than the Japanese and will not kill people unscrupulously. But they robbed the food as well.

They didn't give a single money or leave any food for the millet that my family had worked hard to grow, and they took it all away like a robber.

I was so angry that I couldn't seek revenge on them with bare hands, so I wanted to join the Eighth Route Army, fight the Japanese first, and then calculate with them one by one."

Yuan Pengfei was a little shocked. The nature of the Central Army had not changed yet. He forced the recruitment of strong men and forced the collection of food. There were also logistics supplies provided by the Chairman. If there was no such logistics supply, they might have all been puppet troops for the Japanese.

He patted the young man on the shoulder sympathetically, thinking to himself: The young man has not come in vain. If he can survive, he may be able to take revenge with his own hands.
Chapter completed!
