Sangou returned to his hometown again, looked for Mingcheng to guard the city and looked at the garment factory and farm, it was thriving, and he also saw the militia group, and more than 300 regiments were waiting for Sangou's arrival early.

Sangou has now become a well-known celebrity in the Luocheng area, and the villagers are simple, and they all think that Sangou has become a big official outside, but they don't know how much life and death Sangou has endured, and it is also surprisingly good luck to survive.

But these others can't see it, and they don't know it, they all know that Sangou's troops are good, they can not only eat well but also win battles, and their salaries are high and they are not in arrears, as long as they are lucky, they may become officials.

As the commander of the militia group, he also did a good job of defending the city, gathering strong men between the ages of 18 and 45 in Luocheng District, training regularly, and holding strong men competitions twice a year.

The strong men who participated in the martial arts competition could each get a bag of salt (provided by the county finance, and the salt was very precious at that time), and those who were good at the competition could also get two bags of salt.

Everywhere else is arresting strong men, and if there are three adult men in the family (one for three and two for five), one of them will be selected to serve as soldiers, causing many people to hide and flee everywhere.

But here, although everyone doesn't like to go to other troops to be soldiers, but when they heard that Sangou and their troops were going to recruit soldiers, they came over one after another, and they couldn't escape the fate of being soldiers anyway, so it was better to choose a good army.

In this case, Sangou is not easy to say anything, if according to the previous way of fighting and dying, Sangou will not dare to go back to his hometown to recruit soldiers.

If you recruit the soldiers of the villagers according to the death method of Songhu and Nanjing, you will not kill the villagers, and you will almost die as many as you recruit, and you will not recruit soldiers, but ghosts, and groups of ghosts.

Now it is different, and their 74 th Army has become a strategic reserve force directly under the Central Military Commission, and it is very different from before in terms of weapons, ammunition, and combat methods.

Although the 74th Army is now like a firefighting team, where there is trouble that other armies can't handle, they will send the 74th Army over, and almost all of them are tough battles.

However, whether it is a theater or a front line, all the commanders do not dare to overuse the 74th Army, for fear that it will be exhausted, and it will be difficult to explain to the Military Commission, as long as there is an opportunity, they will still send other troops to assist the 74th Army in combat.

Therefore, in this way, the status of the 74th Army is very high, and a lot of preferential treatment is given, but the battle losses are not very high, and this time to counterattack Nanchang and Gao'an, the battle losses are no longer the same as before, and each company always dies so that only a few dozen people remain.

Although the three battalions suffered nearly half of the 300 casualties, most of them were wounded, and more than 100 people were killed. Some seriously wounded people could not return to the unit for a while, so they came to recruit some new recruits to replenish them.

But despite this, as long as you go to the battlefield, sacrifice and injury are inevitable, and this risk is still very great.

Although it is the responsibility of the head of the national disaster, but in the face of these fellow villagers, Sangou is still a little reluctant in his heart, standing on the martial arts training ground, at a glance, there is a piece of darkness.

The strong men stood solemnly and sang the song of the strong men:

"A good iron must be nailed, and a good man must be a soldier. Defend your hometown, kill the enemy, and wage guerrilla warfare! One side is farming, the other side is holding a gun. Only when the common people go to war can they protect their hometown! ”……

Among these people, many of them are just adult children who don't know anything, and if they go with Sangou, maybe they won't be able to come back in this life, and they are likely to die on the battlefield.

Sangou stood on the command platform, and didn't know what to say for a while, feeling that everything he said was false, and he felt that he was very despicable, and he was here to deceive these simple and simple fellows to send them to death.

"Sangou, what do you want for everyone......" The defender next to him quietly reminded Sangou.

Sangou felt that he was standing in front of the five or six hundred people in the whole battalion, and he could talk freely and raise slogans, and he was speechless in front of these three hundred people, who were not even counting the eggs of the recruits.

However, at present, the country is broken to the point of no return, and the national disaster is like this, and all of us present are responsible, do we choose to sit and wait for death? Or rise up and fight?

We are all men of this country, we are all men of every family, the country is in trouble, the family is in trouble, the first to stand up, is not we? Isn't it?

Aren't we the first to sacrifice? Do we still have to be like the people who died in Nanjing? They all waited for someone to come forward, but as a result, no one came forward, and in the end, everyone died.

Now, men and women all over the country, even women, children, and the elderly, have come forward, do we, the old and young masters, still want to stay at home? Are you still stealing your life?

Sangou said his true thoughts just now to everyone in one breath, whether it was the sadness and despicable psychology that he couldn't say just now, he said it in one breath.

Maybe this is not a formal occasion, or maybe Sangou's words have been held back for too long, and finally got a chance to vent.

Regardless of whether these farmers and students at the bottom can understand or accept it, Sangou still said that there are not so lofty ideas and slogans, but these very realistic views and opinions.

In fact, there is no need for Sangou to say a big call or reason or anything, everyone still wants to go with Sangou, the reason is very simple, that is, to live a good life with a full meal, so that the family can also have a happy life.

Although they also know that when they go to the battlefield, life and death are up to them, and they are exchanging their lives for a mouthful of food and a mouthful of food for their families.

……

Those local security chiefs and armor chiefs, they don't care, in order to complete the recruitment task before, it was difficult to complete the task of changing bodies, and many people fled everywhere, just because they didn't want to be soldiers.

As long as there is a bite to eat, who is willing to be a soldier as cannon fodder, and let those children of the chief armor captain go, they are also very willing.

The little people, who do not have such a high consciousness, want to sacrifice their lives for the country, and most of them are just trying to survive for a few mouthfuls of food.

Well, now that Luo Zhicheng has become a senior official in the army, he has shown up to say the truth, and he has run a factory and a farm, and he has become prosperous, and no one is envious.

In the past, those who didn't want to be soldiers, and the fugitives came back one after another, that is, there was a request to enter Luo Zhicheng's army, so that at least the family could get some protection.

As long as you can complete the task of recruiting troops, it doesn't matter where you go, the chief guards breathed a sigh of relief, and this time I have to thank Luo Zhicheng and Zheng Shoucheng, the elites in the township.

Sangou didn't have so much time to socialize with them, so he asked them to defend the city, and he and the monk took three hundred recruits, hurriedly boarded the connected train, traveled day and night, and rushed all the way back to Shanggao.

These hundreds of recruits were mainly assigned to seven, eight, or nine infantry companies, and the machine gun company of bamboo poles also came to pick out some of them, and those who were literate and educated, tall and powerful, selected some according to these standards.

There is no way, the machine gun company is considered a technical branch, and the requirements are relatively high, and the three dogs also support this, and the other infantry companies will not say anything.

Otherwise, you must have to break the head, why did your machine gun company take away all the good seedlings, and the infantry company should use some leftovers.

Now these company commanders are not there, even if they are, they are all fellow countrymen, although everyone is a little selfish, but it is easier to talk.

This is why Sangou still decided to recruit more fellow soldiers.

Now that they have been recruited, they ordered several midshipmen to be promoted to platoon commanders, such as Wang Xinjia, Luo Xian, and Tao Wei, to serve as the company commanders of the recruits, and each of them took a group of recruits to train with the veterans.
