Due to the strong momentum of the Japanese army, domestic traitor spies have swarmed, and it is very likely that they will infiltrate the loyal salvation army under various identities, which is a very dangerous thing.

So now, as long as the newly recruited players, whether local or foreign, the political review is very strict, even if it is superficially passed, there is still a long observation period.

Therefore, the future development will only become more and more difficult, and this Jiangbei squadron will be gone in one pot, and it will be troublesome to develop to this scale again.

Besides, the people in this Jiangbei squadron are all locals, and the locals like to work at their own doorstep, and they are not very willing to go far away.

To put it mildly, such things as resisting Japan are all work with their heads hanging in their crotches, ready to sacrifice at any time, and they would rather die in their own hometown than in another country, and the root cause of falling leaves is the deep-rooted thinking of the Chinese.

Moreover, the activities of the locals in their hometowns, especially those such as guerrilla spies, have many advantages, such as language, customs, relatives and friends, and familiarity with the environment, which are all natural advantages that are worth taking advantage of.

Therefore, Niu Gu thought about it for a while, and put forward this request with Bo Yuntian, Bo Yuntian did not dare to call the shots, and turned around and asked the captain General Yu, and General Yu also groaned slightly, and agreed to Niu Gu's request.

As middle-level high-ranking officials, they must not only serve the higher-level bosses well, but also take care of the requirements of the grassroots cadres below.

At the same time, General Yu gave Niu Gu one more favor, about Niu Gu himself, he can stay or leave according to his own wishes, of course, the opinion of the corps is to hope that he can stay and preside over the work of the Baohuashan Brigade.

First of all, Niu Gu is a talent, there is no doubt about it, otherwise, he would not have held it down and refused to let him go back to the 74th Army, such a talent naturally did not want him to go to other people's troops.

Some soldiers, as a favor to others is not much of a problem, even if they are merged and eaten by others, they can continue to recruit troops, only if they have money in their hands, they can pull up the troops at any time, and they have a lot of funds from the boss.

But a talent like Niu Gu, who can take charge on his own, can be said to be easy to find in a thousand armies, and it is the best that can stay, but he has already rejected him once before, and this time he will let him deal with this opportunity to return to the regular army.

Because it is not to return to the 74th Army, General Yu estimates that Niu Gu does not have such a big motivation, and besides, now the Baohuashan Brigade of the Loyal Salvation Army is a good stage for Niu Gu's development.

Even if he returns to the 74th Army, he may not have such a good room for growth, after all, he is not an officer who graduated from the Whampoa Department or a regular military academy.

Wild officers, it is not easy to reach the first level of the battalion, and it is even more difficult to go up than to ascend to the sky, unless you have a strong relationship above.

And Niu Gu has a fart relationship, so even if he returns to the 74th Army, he will almost end his life on this battalion-level cadre.

It is more likely that in the regular army, a battalion-level cadre, in a high-intensity war such as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, will be sacrificed every minute, since the start of the Sino-Japanese war, the army commander and division commander have sacrificed several.

Therefore, all things considered, General Yu decided that he would not go to the regular army again, of course, except for the 74th Army, if the 74th Army came to recall him, General Yu really didn't dare to pack the ticket.

After all, the original army has many familiar brothers who have passed their lives, and there are deep feelings that cannot be parted with. But there was no 74th Army in the Fifth War Zone, so General Yu confidently threw this empty favor to Niu Gu.

After Niu Gu got the news of the team's reply, he was really moved, and in response to General Yu's foresight, he still wanted to stay and continue to be the captain of Baohua Mountain.

So, Lao Dan's Jiangbei squadron stayed, and the three platoon commanders under him, Mu Tou, Xiao Dong, and Ning Guoyun, returned to Liuhe Lingyan Mountain with three squads.

It was Lao Shan and a few Northeast veterans who wanted to stay and go to the 51st Army, after all, it was the army of their hometown, but at Niu Gu's insistence, except for a few Northeast veterans, they could go to the 51st Army, and Lao Shan had to take the Jiangbei Squadron back to Lingyan Mountain.

In a company (squadron) brought by Niu Gu from Baohua Mountain, in addition to him, the company commander who also served as the company commander, stayed behind, Tan Yizhong, the commander of the first platoon, and Qin Guogang, the commander of the second platoon, were both veterans of the Northwest Army, and most of the veterans of the Northwest Army under his command stayed in the 51st Army.

Why is it not the 31st Army, the reason is very simple, because the 31st Army is the Gui Army, and the commander of the Fifth Theater, Chief Li, is also a Gui boss, and now in order to recruit troops everywhere, he must make a due posture.

It is just that the Gui army under his command can't annex other miscellaneous troops and make others feel cold, so when there are soldiers and ammunition and other supplements, they will give priority to troops other than the Gui army, so that they can lead by example and lead these miscellaneous troops across the country.

Therefore, the first and second platoons of Niu Gu were given to the 51st Army, which can be regarded as a small supplement after the 51st Army and the 31st Army cooperated with the loss of soldiers this time.

He Chaoxing, the commander of the third platoon, is a Sichuan veteran, and the large army under his command is also a Sichuan veteran, and the army building concept of the Baohuashan Brigade is very special, and he likes to pull the villagers together into a unit, even if it is a squad or a platoon.

He Chaoxing, a Sichuan Yankee, was originally a platoon commander of the Sichuan army, and on the retreat after the Battle of Songhu, the original troops were scattered, and there was no way out to go to Baohua Mountain.

Later, Baohuashan successively took in some of the Sichuan Army veterans who were scattered, and the cows were given to He Chaoxing in a swarm, and there was a squad of people, who became the squad leader, and gathered a platoon of people, and He Chaoxing became a platoon leader.

Therefore, the troops under Niu Gu are very strange, it is often this group of veterans who operate Sichuan dialect to quarrel, and that group of veterans of the Northwest Army who speak Shaanxi dialect are shouting.

This is related to Niu Gu's own experience as the commander of the Seventh Company in the original 51st Division, when he was in the old Seventh Company, almost all the people of Guangfeng, Jiangxi, spoke in local dialect, and others couldn't intervene at all.

But it is because of the fellow countrymen, like fathers, sons, brothers and soldiers on the battlefield, they are very united and strong, advancing and retreating in unison, and no one has two hearts.

Of course, once it reaches the regimental level or even the division level, unless there are very special reasons, the Ministry of Military Affairs does not like to see such a unit composed of pure villagers.

Very simply, the troops composed of pure villagers generally do not listen to the commands of others, they only listen to the old countryman and the big man, so that once they become bigger, they will naturally become new warlords, and the central government will not be able to control them, and it is easy to make a split.

Therefore, every few years, the Ministry of Military Affairs will exchange and transfer some division commanders and commanders, and they cannot stay in a unit for too long and cannot develop the unit into its own private armed forces.

However, the Ministry of Military Affairs will not take care of those below the regimental level, because first, there is no such energy, and there are too many troops below the regimental level in the country to manage it.

Second, even if it is a pure hometown unit, it is just such a small number of people, and it can't make any noise, and third, as mentioned earlier, such a combat unit, with its unusual unity and strength, is a very good thing for improving its combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the Ministry of Military Affairs also turned a blind eye and ignored it, which was regarded as acquiescence, special treatment in special periods, and now in this period, as long as it can fight the Japanese army, it can be accepted, even the Eighth Route Army can accept it, not to mention the small army of your fellow countrymen.
