Chapter 41 Expansion of smoking cessation teams

The twenty people brought down by Zhang Hecun have been practicing alternately for the past two days, and they already have the shadow of the troops. It's just that the number of people is too small, and it's okay to make a small fight now, and it's not enough to really go to war with the Japanese. The equipment of more than 500 people was captured for the personal gain of the king last time, and it was completely possible to expand the army to a battalion.

Recruitment starts today, and a table is set up at the entrance of the smoking cessation center, and a wooden sign is written to indicate the recruitment conditions. Ogura himself sat in charge, and ten members of the smoking cessation team stood in a row behind him, and the crowd gathered around.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, what are you going to do with this recruitment?"

"yes, isn't there a quit team? Aren't there enough people? ”

"Folks, listen to me. What era is it now? It's troubled times! The Japanese devils are coming, what should we do? Relying on government forces that even bandits can't defeat? Can it be relied on? Of course not! We're on our own! Our town has to have its own team! Today, I am not talented in Kokura, and I have expanded the smoking cessation team to train a team to protect the villagers. When the devil didn't come, we assisted in quitting smoking and exercising diligently. Once the devil comes, we will rush up and fight the devil, at least for a while, to buy everyone time to escape. I don't know if you've heard of it, in the places where the devils in Shanxi have passed, there are murders in the whole village, and many of them have become uninhabited villages. Therefore, a good man must stand up to protect his family and protect his fellow villagers, and the homeland where our ancestors have lived for several lifetimes cannot be harmed by little devils! Ogura said passionately!

"That's right, but who knows when the devil will call? Besides, everyone else is paid to be a soldier, do we have it? ”

"That's right, when you are a soldier, you have to pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, and it's not worth it if you don't get paid!"

"Everyone quietly listened to me, it is appropriate to be paid as a soldier, and I set everyone a piece of ocean per month. It's not too much, but I don't add a burden to the villagers, and the money is paid by me! Ogura said.

"Okay, don't worry about it and get paid, I'll be a soldier!" A strong man said excitedly.

"Count me in!"

……

One after another, people began to sign up, and there were more than 70 people in one day. After a simple assembly, the camp was recognized, and they were asked to go back and prepare for a report three days later.

In this way, for three consecutive days, three hundred and four people have been recruited, plus the original twenty and the Ogura brothers, a total of three hundred and thirty people. That's enough for a battalion. There are too many people to live in a quit-smoking place. set up the military camp in the small courtyard of the White Moon River. The yard is small, so the house is increased, and the team is not sure of talents, and in a few days, the small courtyard is expanded tenfold on the basis of the earthen wall thatched house surrounded into a large courtyard, and a vacant land is also set out at the gate of the courtyard as a playground, which has begun to take on the appearance of a military camp.

"Brothers, the barracks have been completed, and the next two months will be devoted to intensive military training, and no one is allowed to take leave and stay in the barracks at night. Go home today and say goodbye, you have to work hard from tomorrow, don't hide whether it's a mule or a horse to pull it out! Ogura said.

The next day the training began, the first item was, of course, the formation of the queue, the training of military recruits in the previous life was a must, and the discipline of the army was practiced in the formation.

"Before the formal training, I will talk about the military regulations of our smoking cessation team, first of all, we are all from the common people, so our first rule is not to bully the common people! Those who rely on their own guns to bully the market and rob the people will be twenty military sticks! Kill those who rob women from good families! Have the ability to rob corrupt officials, rob traitors, and rob Japanese devils! The second is absolute obedience, that is, obedience, listening to the words of the commander, and doing whatever you want to do without any reason. At the end of the two-month training, the team will be divided according to your expertise, and the squad leader and captain will be selected from among you! The third is loyalty, loyalty to me, loyalty to the superiors, and loyalty to the goal of protecting the common people. Those who deceive and conceal their superiors and subordinates to deal with errands will be 30 military sticks! There are betrayers who will not be forgiven! Ogura glanced at everyone and continued, "Of course, we are not worthy of punishment, but also have awards, according to the completion of everyone's task and the difficulty of the task, we will set one, two, three and special military merits. Depending on the size of the military exploits, there are rewards that make everyone's heart beat! Gold bar promotions are included. ……”

Ogura said a lot, and it is difficult to form a belief if the current conditions do not allow it. Only clear rewards and punishments can arouse everyone's enthusiasm.
