When mankind has civilization, there will be wars and armies in the world.

The army needs to constantly replenish soldiers, so it needs to be conscripted, so the conscription system came into being!

A reasonable conscription system is the fundamental guarantee for the long-term strength of the army, and without a complete conscription system, no matter how powerful the army is, it is like water without roots!

Throughout the history of China, the conscription system has evolved with the times, and the conscription system, the world soldier system, the government soldier system, the guard post system, and the flag soldier system have all chosen the conscription system suitable for the national conditions.

In 1915, the Beiyang government enacted the "Provisional Army Recruitment Regulations (Draft)", which divided military service into four types: standing, renewal, reserve, and national.

In 1933, the Nationalist Government promulgated the "Military Service Law," which divided military service into two types: national defense and standing service, and standing service was divided into active service, regular service, and continued service, and it was formally implemented in 36 years.

By the time of the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the construction of the army was still stuck in the construction of active troops, and the construction of reserve forces was still blank. However, the frontal battlefield is so tragic, the number of casualties among the active troops is more than one million, and the huge shortage of soldiers cannot be solved in time!

At this time, there are no more than three sources of replenishment:

The first type is the enthusiastic young people and unemployed vagrants who voluntarily signed up for the Anti-Japanese War.

The second is the bandits of Zhao'an and the private armed forces of the landlord Lao Cai.

The third is local conscription.

Conscription is understandable because of the "Military Service Law," but as the war on the front line has become increasingly tense, the grassroots cadres in charge of conscription have no longer care about the rules, and eventually it has evolved into "grasping strong men."

Although the scene of "catching strong men" varies from place to place, it is roughly as follows:

The grassroots officer in charge of conscription entered the village and went straight to the village chief's house, kicked the door, rushed into the house, and slapped the table with his big hand, "I want ten people, you can make it up for me, if you can't make it up, I will arrest you to make up the number!" ”

At this time, the village chief will quickly take the roster in the village, point and find a few unlucky people to hand over, and then take the officer to the house of the circled person to pull people directly......

Since the big field, the 66th Regiment has also been reorganized several times, but the additional soldiers are either hot-blooded men and women recruited on the spot, or the poles of western Henan have not yet encountered the captured strong men, until this time......

In the valley where the cement was burned, Liao Heiniu followed Li Siwei all the way, his face was full of excitement, "Cannon, follow me to Lianjiagou!" ”

"Lao Tzu knows ......" Li Siwei shook his head with a smile, "Let's go!" ”

Go early and come back early!

"Don't worry," Liao Heiniu smiled, "I still have something to do!" ”

As he spoke, Liao looked at Li Siwei with bull's eyes.

Li Siwei's face was blank, "What's the matter?" ”

"Hehe," Liao Heiniu sneered, "Cannon, Qiansheng hasn't recognized his godfather yet, right?" ”

"No," Li Siwei shook his head, "What does it matter if Lao Tzu's baby recognizes his godfather or not......

As he spoke, Li Siwei's voice stopped abruptly, and his face was abrupt, "You ......"

"That's right," Liao Heiniu nodded hurriedly, with a serious look on his face, "I want to recognize Qiansheng as a godson!" ”

"No problem," Li Siwei nodded with a smile, "I don't think Rou'er will object!" ”

Ning Rou accompanied Li Siwei all the way from Yuhuatai, and naturally understood his relationship with Liao Heiniu!

"Okay," Liao Heiniu's big black face suddenly smiled, and he picked up Li Siwei and walked back, "Go back and see my godson!" ”

In this way, Qiansheng became Liao Heiniu's godson, and Li Siwei was also dragged to Lianjiagou by Liao Heiniu to help find mines and establish kilns.

When you are busy, you are fulfilled, and time flies.

After three or five busy days, the affairs of Lianjiagou were put on order, and Li Siwei rushed back to the 66th Regiment early in the morning and went straight to Yuejialing.

On Yuejialing, the second fortress has been completed, and the third fortress has also been built.

After reading it, chatting with the soldiers for a while, Li Siwei took Li Sanguang down to Yuejialing, and as soon as he arrived at the bottom of the ridge, he saw Zhao Xin coming in a hurry.

"Regiment leader," seeing Li Siwei, Zhao Xin hurriedly reined in his horse, his face full of joy, "The recruits have arrived...... There are nearly a thousand of them! ”

"A thousand?" Li Siwei perked up, but he was a little puzzled, "Why are there a thousand people?" ”

The 66th Regiment lacked no more than 500 men.

"I don't know," Zhao Xin hurriedly shook his head, "As soon as the recruits arrived, the platoon commander asked me to come to you......"

"Fuck it," Li Sanguang smiled, "the more you come, the better!" ”

"That's right," Li Siwei hurriedly turned over and went straight to the regimental headquarters.

In the camp outside the village, Li Siwei saw the recruits, and when he saw the appearance of the new soldiers, the joy in his heart was swept away!

In the camp, thousands of recruits were already lined up, all skinny and ragged, some standing woodenly, some cautiously looking around, but most of them had numb or apprehensive expressions.

Where is this recruit?

It's clearly a refugee!

After looking at it for a while, Li Siwei couldn't help but sigh secretly, and turned his head to look at Officer Pu, who had sent the recruits.

Officer Pu also smiled wryly, "Head Li, you also know the situation on the south bank......

"Commander,"

Before Officer Pu's words fell, the generals had already hurriedly poured into the camp, their faces full of joy, "The recruits are coming, ......

Suddenly, the generals' voices stopped abruptly, and they looked at the recruits with stunned expressions.

"This ...... This is the recruit? ”

"I can't practice it at all in two or three months......"

It's hard for two or three months!

Li Siwei shook his head secretly.

However, people have already been sent, how can they pick the fat and the thin?

Secretly gritting his teeth, Li Siwei waved his hand at the generals, stopped the discussion, and strode onto the high platform in front of the formation.

"Brothers," Li Siwei stood still on the high platform, his eyes slowly swept over the group of recruits, his expression was solemn, "My name is Li Siwei, my nickname is Li Cannon, I am the commander of the 66th Regiment, from now on, you are my soldiers!" ”

The recruits looked at Li Siwei silently, some looked blank, some looked worried, and some were full of curiosity...... But there was no response.

"Brothers," Li Siwei looked around at everyone again, his expression softened slightly, "My hometown is in Sichuan, and when I was three or seven years old, I followed the troops out of Sichuan to fight devils, and this fight has been fought until now." ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei smiled, "Where are your hometowns?" ”

The recruits looked at each other, and finally they had the audacity to scream.

"Sir, I'm also a ...... from Sichuan"

"I am a ...... from Guizhou"

"I am a ...... from Yunnan"

……

"Oh, it's a long way off!" When the recruit's voice gradually dissipated, Li Siwei nodded with a smile, "You haven't suffered less along the way, right?" ”

The recruits walked thousands of miles in silence, and the suffering was naturally indescribable.

"Alas," Li Siwei sighed softly, "Which brother told me, why did you have to endure this hardship and come all the way to Zhongtiao Mountain?" ”

Still silent, someone had an angry look in their eyes.

After a good life, he was suddenly pulled to the front line, which one can handle it safely?

Li Siwei naturally understands that some people will not be able to figure it out and will be resentful, but as the saying goes, "it is better to be blocked than to be sparse"!

Guide them to transfer this grievance to the little devil's head...... Why not?

After a long time, a voice hesitated, "We're here to fight the little devils!" ”

"Well said!" Li Siwei praised loudly, closed his mouth again, and waited quietly.

"We're here to fight the little devils!" Seeing that Li Siwei avoided speaking, someone echoed him, although the voice was sparse, it was full of anger, "The little devil of the dog day threw a bomb at our hometown without anything, making people unhappy!" ”

"Well said!" Li Siwei perked up, praised again, and also showed an indignant look, "I often see little devils drop bombs, 'mmmmm...... the plane rushes down, and then drops the bomb like an egg, the house collapses, people die, and the home is gone......"

As he spoke, Li Siwei's voice paused, and all the recruits were silent, but many people already had angry looks on their faces.

"Who doesn't want to live in peace!" Li Siwei opened his mouth again, his voice was low and slow, but it was clearly audible in every corner of the camp, "However, the little devils don't want to let the old men live in peace!" From Songhu to Zhongtiao Mountain, I have seen too many tragedies...... The little devils of Dog Day don't treat Chinese as people! Everywhere he went, he grabbed money and grain, pulled pigs and cattle, and killed people and set fire to them after they finished robbing...... That's a miserable one! ”

There was silence in the camp, only Li Siwei's low and angry voice was echoing, and everyone who heard it was dissatisfied and indignant.

"Brothers!" Li Siwei's voice suddenly raised, "Although my hometown is far away in Sichuan, I know that if I don't take up arms and resist desperately now, then sooner or later, the little devils will also hit my hometown, and they will also rob my money, grain, pigs and cattle, burn my house, and kill my wife, children, and parents......"

As he spoke, Li Siwei roared, "Tell Lao Tzu, do you want the little devils to hit your hometown?" ”

"I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to ......"

The roars rang out, and finally converged into one voice, "I don't want to ......"

The shouts resounded through the camp and soared into the sky!

"I don't want to either!" Li Siwei pressed his hands, and the shouting stopped abruptly, leaving only Li Siwei's sad and angry voice, "So, Lao Tzu picked up the gun and has been fighting from three to seven years to now!" There are millions of soldiers fighting on a frontline of thousands of miles, and there are too many soldiers who have fallen on the battlefield...... Knowing that it was a death, they never flinched, the soldiers did not flinch, and the general did not flinch! ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei's expression became excited, and his eyes looked at the recruits with blazing eyes, "Now it's your turn, tell Lao Tzu, will you retreat?" ”

"Won't go back! No ...... refund"

Someone roared with an impassioned look.

"No ...... back"

Some hesitated to agree.

That's enough!

Seeing the reaction of the recruits, Li Siwei nodded secretly, raised his hands and pressed them, his face full of appreciation, "Okay!" Real men deserve that! ”

Saying that, Li Siwei's expression was solemn, "I don't care how you came to the front line, since you came to the front line, it means that the country has chosen you, the nation has chosen you, you are not fighting for me, nor are you fighting for yourself, you are fighting for this country and the nation, you are fighting for your wife and children at home and your hometown fathers and elders!" It's an honor...... Since you have come to the front line, you will fight like a man for Lao Tzu, so that when you return home, you can stubbornly say to your mother-in-law, 'Your man has never been cowardly', you can pat your chest and say to your own doll, 'You Lao Tzu has also been on the battlefield to kill devils and seen blood', so that you can say to your parents, relatives and friends and hometown fathers and elders with your head held high, 'I have contributed to defending the family and the country'......"

Li Siwei said "trumpet" on the high platform, his expression was excited, his mouth was like a river, the recruits listened attentively, the numb and anxious expression had long since disappeared, some people listened with excitement, some people looked moved, and some people still had a hesitant look on their faces, but their eyes had brightened a lot!

Officer Pu on the side was full of exclamation, "Head Li is not simple...... It's not easy! ”

"Officer Pu," Shi Meng patted Officer Pu on the shoulder with a grin, "That's how the regiment commander spoke...... Sounds exciting! ”

"That's right," Zhao Dezhu also smiled, "Officer Pu, Li Cannon's name is not called in vain!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Officer Pu was stunned and nodded again and again, "Li Cannon's name is indeed not in vain!" ”

"Brothers,"

As soon as Officer Pu's voice fell, Li Siwei's voice raised, "I think when I left Sichuan, I was just a big soldier, just like you now...... By now, he is already the colonel's regimental commander! ”

Saying that, Li Siwei smiled, "Of course, I can't guarantee that you can all become the head of the regiment in the future, nor can I guarantee that you can all be officials...... There is a saying that 'it is better to have a kind than to have a talent', if you want to be promoted on the battlefield, then you have to be more kind than others! ”

"It's better to have a talent than to have a species?"

Officer Pu repeated in a low voice, his face full of doubts, "I haven't heard anyone say it before......"

"I think it makes sense!" Wang Liugen on the side smiled implicitly, "Didn't you say, 'Dare to pull the emperor off the horse'!" The most talented person is just a prime minister or something, but there is a kind of emperor who can be an emperor! ”

"Uh......"

Director Pu was stunned for a moment, but he heard Li Siwei's voice suddenly rise, "Brothers, do you have a kind?" ”

"Yes! Yes! There was ......"

The recruits shouted at the top of their lungs.

If you don't have a seed, what kind of man can you be!

"Good! Remember Lao Tzu's words: When you go to the battlefield, you can't do anything! ”

Li Siwei praised and smiled, "Rush all the way over, you are all tired, let me say a few more words and let Staff Officer Zheng settle you and rest first!" Only two sentences! ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei's expression was solemn, and his gaze slowly swept over the recruits, as if he wanted to engrave every face into his mind, "Since you are here, you are my brother Li Cannon, and you are the brother of the 66th Regiment!" In the future, we will eat together, wear clothes together, and smoke together...... The little devil is here, shoulder to shoulder, if you don't retreat, my Li cannon will never retreat first! ”

Hearing this, many recruits were already excited, and their eyes were blazing.

Of course, there are also people who will be suspicious...... "If you don't retreat, my Li Cannon will never retreat first", sir, this is just talking, right?

"The second sentence," Li Siwei's voice sounded again, "In order to catch the wind for the brothers, add vegetables and stew meat at noon!" ”

"Good ......"

For a while, the applause rang out in every corner of the camp.

Seeing this, Li Siwei smiled slightly, turned around and got off the high platform, and Zheng Sanyang naturally took care of the rest!
