Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell!

The people living in Hutou Village have long been accustomed to the sound of striking iron, even the bandits who were captured by the People's Army as coolies.

The families of bandits and bandits are a very special group in Hutou Village, and the number of people accounts for more than half of the total population of Hutou Village.

Since the People's Army formed the first firearms unit, it has fought in the north and south in the mountains, exterminated many bandits, and captured a large number of bandits.

The day they become coolies, they will be judged according to the number of evils they have done, and the minimum is three years, and the maximum is thirty years.

The bandits are all adult males, and they mainly do hard work such as digging ores, carrying ores, and carrying steel on weekdays.

Most of the adult women of the bandits' families do laundry and cooking on weekdays, and they also do some farm work and other slightly easier chores.

Another group of adult women who had been forcibly taken to the cottage by the bandits and had no children joined the KPA and became part of the KPA women's units, their weapons were spears, and they hardly participated in combat, mainly to carry out tasks against women, and to assist the wounded KPA soldiers with paramedical teams.

The families of underage bandits are mainly educated.

After the bandits and their families were brought to Hutou Village, they lived separately, the bandits were centrally managed, and the People's Army arranged for some soldiers to guard the bandits to prevent the bandits from escaping.

The bandits became coolies, working very hard every day, even longer than the previously hired mountain people, with a break in between, and they were not allowed to be lazy and slippery outside of the rest time, and if they were found, they would be whipped.

As a thief who robbed his house and robbed his house, ate meat and drank wine, how could he accept such treatment, and soon some thieves wanted to resist or escape, and even put it into action.

However, the People's Army is very strict with the bandits, and it is impossible for the bandits to escape or riot at all, and all the bandits who escape or resist and are caught will be punished, and in serious cases, they will be directly executed, and the bandits who are punished will be put in heavy shackles, and it is impossible to walk fast, let alone escape.

Of course, the People's Army will not always force the bandits, the bandits' working time will not change, and this is the labor time they can bear, and it will not reach the point of exhaustion, on this basis, the bandits who perform badly will be punished, and the bandits who perform well can be rewarded.

There are various rewards for bandits, such as giving them the opportunity to visit their wives and children, even living with their wives and children, becoming a squad leader in the coolie to manage other coolies, increasing their meat consumption, directly rewarding them with silver taels, and so on.

Bandits are rewarded not only for their hard work, but also for their hard work, as long as there is enough evidence to prove it.

With the improvement of the reward and punishment system, the longer the bandits stay in Hutou Village, the less they can escape or resist, but the People's Army has been encircling and suppressing the bandits, and the new bandits are easier to escape or riot.

Thanks to the efforts of the bandits, the steel production of Hutou Village has been increasing, and at the same time, the output of weapons and equipment such as tiger head guns, tiger head cannons, and spears has been greatly increased, which are used to arm more People's Army soldiers.

There were still two months left before the autumn harvest, and watching the bandits work, Fang Nan had an idea in his mind: he could use coolies to form a death squad.

The People's Army is divided into firearms units and cold-weapon units, with firearms units mainly consisting of tiger-headed guns and tiger-headed guns, and cold-weapon units being dominated by spears.

Under normal conditions, firearms units crush the enemy at long distances, and cold-weapon units come forward to pursue the enemy in close combat.

Compared with the firearms unit, it is very difficult for the cold weapon unit to become an elite, and it needs to go through more battles, and at the same time, the casualties of the cold weapon unit itself will be very large.

The bandits already live a life of licking blood on their heads, and even the soldiers of the cold weapons unit of the People's Army who have been trained for a year are difficult to be the opponents of the bandits in a one-on-one situation.

If you use bandits to form a death squad, it can be of a lot of use in the battlefield and in siege warfare.

The only thing to worry about is that the bandits will resist the People's Army after obtaining weapons, and Fang Nan has several solutions in his mind, which can reduce the possibility of resisting.

After thinking about the death squad, Fang Nan immediately summoned Chen Kang, who was Hu Zhuang and managed coolies.

Chen Kang, twenty-seven years old, a native of Qingshanzhai, a non-three-year education graduate, was originally a member of the firearms unit, and then turned into an officer of the cold weapons unit, the number of coolies in the Hutou Village has exceeded 1,000, for which a battalion of cold weapons troops has been formed to guard the coolies, Chen Kang served as the battalion commander, managing all the coolies in the Hutou Village.

"I am ready to send a group of hard-fighting coolies to form a death squad and hand over the battle to the death squad to reduce the casualties of the People's Army soldiers." Fang Nan said to Hu Zhuang and Chen Kang.

"It's a good idea to use coolies to form death squads." Hu Zhuang thought about it and agreed.

Chen Kang said: "Governor, what kind of coolies do you want to transfer? ”

"Well, I want to think about it, first transfer the coolies who were originally poor people, they may also be because of the oppression of the government and landlords, so they will not be easily rebelled by the enemy, if the number of coolies in this identity is not enough, and then other coolies will be transferred to supplement, mainly voluntary, and the coolies who have violated discipline will be excluded, and a battalion and three companies will be formed first, and the name will be the first battalion."

The first to the camp, the first to the dead, the elite troops formed by Koyi during the Three Kingdoms period, the ancient siege of the city, the first to climb the city to the top of the credit is the greatest, said to "ascend first", and then to "ascend first" for the vanguard troops!

With the name of "Ascend First", it can be seen that Fang Nan's expectations for the first camp are not good, and on the contrary, the name "Death Squad" itself is not very good, with the word "death", it is easy to discourage people and be reluctant to join.

When the People's Army formed the Xiandeng Battalion, it could first tell the story of the Xiandeng Dead Soldiers to the qualified coolies during the Three Kingdoms Period, showing that the Xiandeng Battalion was unusual, such as Lu Yi leading 800 Xiandeng Dead Soldiers and defeating Gongsun Zhan's thousands of cavalry, including the elite White Horse Yicong.

After that, the treatment of coolies after joining the first camp is discussed, killing an enemy can reduce the body for one year of hard labor, and if the labor time is gone, continue to stay in the first camp after the labor time is gone, and after killing the enemy, you can get a field or silver reward, and the family of the war dead can get a sum of compensation.
