In the camp of the teaching brigade that was about to be established, Zhang Wei and the officers and men gathered together, holding light weapons, ready to go, and before the establishment of the teaching brigade was approved, they received the first task to assist the regiments in accepting new recruits, and the recruits replenished by the new 22nd Division were about to arrive, and the troops lacked manpower, so the teaching brigade was pulled to help.

In addition to Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, and Zheng Yiqun, he was accompanied by He Jinhai, the future engineer platoon commander of the teaching brigade, and Zhang Wei asked for a veteran platoon of the special service company from Qiu Maniac, and was about to change it to the engineer platoon of the teaching brigade, and the platoon commander He Jinhai also followed.

This person is also a Huangpu student, graduated from the 11th engineering section, and entered the army after graduating from the Songhu Battle urgently, and was originally the platoon commander of the special service company of the new 22nd Division.

Zhang Wei's teaching brigade, needless to say, the three infantry squadron leaders under him, Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, Zheng Yiqun, and the squadron leaders of the other heavy firepower squadrons have not yet been dispatched, and the requirements for this position are not particularly high, because there is almost no need to command, and the heavy firearms of the subordinates are basically to be distributed, and the squadron leader usually carries and manages some of them.

The platoon leader, Zhang Wei planned to transfer He Kun over, He Kun has been helping Zhang Wei get a small treasury, which is closer to the nature of the replatoon, and he will be transferred to teach the treasury of the brigade to be easy to manage, and the treasury will be directly managed by the baggage platoon.

The entire teaching brigade, except for the newly joined engineer platoon commander He Jinhai, the rest are Zhang Wei's old team, and there is no inconvenience in commanding. After the assembly was completed, all the soldiers put on steel helmets, held rifles and light machine guns, and drove out of the camp under the command of Zhang Wei.

At the gate of the barracks, dozens of colonel-level officers and captains of the new 22nd Division stood at the door, and there were only a few soldiers from the special service company around.

The work of receiving recruits and guarding has to be done by Zhang Wei, a teaching brigade that has not been established.

Zhang Wei led his troops to the front of the battalion gate, and Deng Junlin, the commander of the 65th Regiment, was already waiting at the door.

"Hello sir!"

After Zhang Wei saw Deng Junlin, he first saluted a military salute.

Deng Junlin also gave Zhang Wei a salute back.

"Sir, how long do the recruits have to arrive?" Zhang Wei asked straight to the point.

Deng Junlin didn't speak, raised his finger and pointed, Zhang Wei looked over, and there were already figures outside the station, and there were still chattering voices.

Recruits are coming.

Seeing the recruits coming, Deng Junlin ordered Zhang Wei to prepare for the reception, and then walked forward with dozens of officers.

A large number of recruits appeared in front of the new 22nd Division's station.

It's just that this scene is really not good-looking.

Most of the recruits for the new 22 nd Division came from the divisional area in Hunan, and the other part was added from the Jiangxi Military Region.

Walking in front is naturally the Hunan Division Management District, which is close.

As a result, there were many officers and men in the ranks who were escorted by the divisional districts, and these people were armed with rifles and leather whips, and from time to time they shouted and cursed.

There were more recruits who had been drafted, thousands of them, the recruits were weak, their faces were yellow and thin, and all of them had their hands tied up with hemp rope, and the rope on the former and the rope of the latter were tied together, and a dozen people were strung together with ropes.

Others wore iron shackles on their feet, and most of them were barefoot, and their clothes were all coarse cloth of the common people.

These people were the recruits who were replenished to the new 22nd Division.

Zhang Wei sighed and began to order: "Pick up the troops!"

As soon as the order was issued, hundreds of his brothers ran forward quickly, and the guard outside the garrison was unfurled, forming a siege of the approaching recruits.

Zhang Wei followed Deng Junlin alone and walked forward to meet the team of recruits.

"Sir, how many soldiers are there?" Zhang Wei asked, looking at the strings of recruits.

"This is the first batch, which, according to the telegram, should be two thousand."

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

Deng Junlin took Zhang Wei and the officers to meet the escort officers, the escort troops were about a company, and the leader was a captain, chubby, with his stomach turned his military uniform turned out, and a German-style M35 steel helmet on his head.

As soon as he was close to these recruits, Zhang Wei found that many of these people couldn't even earn their eyes, their faces were pale, and they were staggering when they walked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the captain of the recruit brigade of the Xiangbei Division, you are polite!" The fat captain said flatteringly.

He was a captain, an officer from the New 22nd Division who came to pick up the troops, and the lowest rank was also a captain.

Zhang Wei was beside Deng Junlin, and after the captain saluted, a trace of disgust appeared on Deng Junlin's face, but he quickly returned to normal.

Disgust is certain, a soldier is fat like that, and his speech is full of flattery, how can he still have a military style?

Deng Junlin smiled and nodded.

"It's hard work, it's not easy to escort two thousand recruits from afar, hurry up and rest in the barracks! I'll also arrange for a spot check to receive it. ”

The fat captain said hesitantly, "This...... Sir, the number of people, not two thousand. ”

"Huh?" When Deng Junlin heard that there were no two thousand, he immediately hummed.

"What's going on?"

When the fat captain saw Deng Junlin asking, he stood up first, and his face was a little bad.

"Sir, what's the matter with the recruits in our military divisional district, I'm afraid you also know that these are all arrested, and there are impostors."

"The time of departure is indeed two thousand, but on the way to your part, the news of the war with the Japanese came, and these recruits knelt on the ground and cried for mercy."

"There are people running away along the road, even if they are tied up with ropes, there are always those who break free, those who escape, those who don't run to death, and those who are tired add up to more than five hundred, and it is estimated that there are more than 1,500 now."

With these 2,000 recruits, 500 will be spent on the road.

Deng Junlin also knew that it was impossible to send it in full, but he didn't expect that a quarter of the recruits would be gone if this fat man said a few words.

Deng Junlin's face was black at that time.

Zhang Wei looked at the recruits who were brought in, they were basically half-dead, giving people the feeling that they were going to fall next, and in the short process of driving to the camp, there were indeed many people who passed out on the ground.

The fat captain's words are seven points true and three points false.

These recruits actually had food expenses, but they were all swallowed up by the personnel of the divisional management area where the corpses were fed.

Therefore, these strong men who were forcibly pulled can only go on the road hungry, and it is strange that they do not starve to death on the road.

Of the 500 people who were lost, not all of them fled, were shot and starved to death.

Some of them were taken away by people in the division area and secretly sold to people who were in the human flesh business.

When they reported to the receiving troops, they said that these people were missing on the road.

There is no proof of death, and the receiving troops can only suffer dumb losses.
