Chapter Seventy-Four: Jiujiang

Qianshan County, which is close to the war, is naturally not prosperous, and many people have hid in the countryside or gone to relatives and friends when they saw the war coming, and Su Jin, who had just sold a batch of arms, had a very bulging pocket, so the militia found a place to settle down soon after entering the county.

After entering the county seat, the first thing Su Jin did was to send someone to set up a table in the center of the county with the largest flow of people, what are you doing...... There was only one answer, and that was conscription, and his actions quickly reached Ling Lixi's ears.

"This kid is really stunned, such an open recruitment, his courage is not ordinary!" Listening to the report of his subordinates, Ling Zhuxi, who was commanding the troops to build trench fortifications, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Master, should we send someone to warn him?" The chief of staff on the side looked at Ling Qianxi's face and asked cautiously.

"No need, after all, people came all the way from Shandong to help us fight the Japanese, let's not give him new recruit equipment, forget it, now that people recruit their own troops, if we stop it, it won't be enough." Ling Qianxi shook his head and said helplessly: "You go and tell the commander of the garrison in Qianshan County, and this matter will be treated as if you haven't seen it." ”

"Yes...... I'll do it right away. The chief of staff quickly turned and left.

Under Ling Jinxi's indulgence intentionally or unintentionally, Su Jin's recruitment work was not hindered too much. The conscription work in this year is not as difficult as imagined, due to the difficulties in life, the life of many families is very difficult, plus Su Jin gave a settling-in allowance of five oceans per person, many young people in order to earn a few settling-in fees for their families to line up to sign up for the army, in less than three days, Su Jin recruited more than 600 young people, making the number of the militia swelled rapidly like a snowball.

But although there were many people, Su Jin was not too happy, because now the militia group has encountered a new problem, that is, there are not enough grassroots officers in the army, especially the serious shortage of company and platoon-level officers, this situation almost made Su Jin sad to death. You must know that what supports the combat effectiveness of a unit is to look at the quality of the officers at the grassroots level, and now that the number of troops has increased so many at once, it is also very fatal that there are no qualified officers to manage them.

In order to solve this problem, Su Jin specially brought everyone to negotiate and discuss this problem, but everyone had no good way except for you to look at me and me to look at you, and seeing this situation, Su Jin knew that he couldn't count on these guys.

After driving these guys away, Su Jin found Mi Xiaoya, who was indulging in the study of penicillin, which had just arrived, and asked bluntly: "Doctor Mi, do you know where the wounded soldiers of the national army in this area are transported for treatment?" ”

"Wounded soldiers?" Mi Xiaoya asked a little puzzled, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you just say you know it, right?" Su Jin looked very anxious.

After getting the treasure penicillin, Mi Xiaoya's temper has obviously become much better, and she is no longer so picky at Su Jin.

"Well...... Mi Xiaoya thought for a while before saying: "The average wounded soldier is sent to Jiujiang, where there is a large wounded soldier reception center, if it is a middle and senior officer, it has to be sent to Nanchang or even Wuhan, because the medical conditions there are the best." ”

"Jiujiang!" Su Jin screamed suddenly.

"What's wrong with Jiujiang?" Mi Xiaoya gave him a fierce look, this guy is always startled, if she hadn't been in a good mood recently, she would have scolded him a long time ago.

Su Jin smiled bitterly, if he remembered correctly, Jiujiang would be captured by the Japanese army in half a month, and going to Jiujiang at this time would fall into a fire pit.

Do you want to go or not, Su Jin's heart hesitated. At present, the shortage of grass-roots officers in the troops has reached a very serious level, and if we do not replenish the grass-roots officers and veterans in a timely manner, the combat effectiveness of the troops will not be guaranteed at all.

Looking at Su Jin, whose face was uncertain, Mi Xiaoya raised her eyebrows, "What, do you want to go to Jiujiang?" ”

Su Jin nodded: "Yes, now that there is a serious shortage of troops, I want to go to Jiujiang to get a group of veterans to supplement the troops." By the way, you prepare, and tomorrow the troops will depart. ”

Hearing this, Mi Xiaoya's face sank: "Did I say I would go to Jiujiang with you?" The things I promised you have been done, we don't owe each other, you can go by yourself, and I will stay here. ”

"Really?" Facing Mi Xiaoya's refusal, Su Jin was not in a hurry, but smiled lightly: "Doctor Mi, if I remember correctly, you don't have much penicillin in your hand, if you want more medicine to treat the patient, no one can provide this medicine except me." ”

"Shame on you!" Facing Su Jin, who had put on a look of being stunned, Doctor Mi, who had clenched his silver teeth, could only scold him in this way.

"Doctor Mi, don't look at me like that, I'm good for you." Su Jin looked like he was stunned: "Do you think, who else can provide you with so many medical supplies and medicines now besides me, isn't your ability to nest in this small county town equal to waste, if so, what is the use of those skills you have learned." I don't want to press you with those big truths, I just want to say that we are fighting a national war now, and the soldiers are even risking their lives, do you really bear to risk the lives of the injured soldiers for the sake of a little prejudice against me? ”

"You bastard, you're so bad." Although Dr. Mi has excellent medical skills, he has no attainment in scolding, so he can only use these words to express his anger over and over again.

On July 26, Su Jin led his militia to finally arrive at their destination after several days of travel.

Jiujiang belongs to the south of the Yangtze River, known as Chaisang, Jiangzhou, Xunyang in ancient times, is a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 2,200 years, and is also a shipping hub in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. However, despite this, their troops were not allowed to enter the city, and could only be stationed outside the city.

Su Jin didn't mind this, he began the intense reorganization work after stationing the troops, due to the expansion of more than 600 recruits, so that the number of troops reached nearly 900 people, and then the original establishment was no longer suitable, so Su Jin changed the three squadrons into three battalions, with Huang Weiguo, Li Wei and Zhang Danian as battalion commanders. In addition, there is a baggage company, a health team, and in addition, Su Jin also cashed out two radio stations, allowing Zhang Xiuniang to try to fiddle with them, after all, with the expansion of the army, the radio station will definitely be used.

After getting the organization ready, Su Jin asked the people below to hurry up and train, and he took a few guards into Jiujiang City......
