Hearing Sun Yumin's words, Liu Wenzhi couldn't help laughing: "Big brother, although this matter is difficult, it has been almost solved here." ”

"Really?" Sun Yumin was a little skeptical, he thought that the idea of recruiting soldiers from the flood refugees was actually correct, but he misjudged the time node of the refugee outbreak and the number of refugees, so in fact, there were not too many refugees left in Yangshupu and the victims who fled the famine, but compared to the small village of Yangshupu, it was still seriously overloaded.

"Of course it's true, from poplar paving to flat stones, we have found a total of 11 suitable places to build a village." Liu Wenzhi said this with a smile on his face, and when he saw Sun Yumin's face full of expectation, he continued: "I have visited the place with dozens of representatives of these refugees, and we have discussed the distribution method, so we are waiting for your nod and then start construction." ”

"We must not be able to afford a reconstruction of this scale like Yangshupu, can we build a home for them first, and then ...... it depending on our financial resources."

"Of course, if you build eleven more poplar shops, you can't stand it." Liu Wenzhi said: "I haven't told us about our difficulties, but those kind people have said that as long as they can have a place to live, as long as they can fill their stomachs, everyone is willing to make the conditions more difficult." And it's to help yourself build a new home, who wouldn't have the power to contribute. ”

When Liu Wenzhi talked about those refugees, the topic was a little uncontrollable, and without waiting for Sun Yumin to ask any more questions, he said: "They didn't let us make any more effort, and discussed on their own who lived in which villages, but they just needed some tools and food from our side, after all, they were all refugees who were forced to leave their hometowns because they were helpless." ”

"Of course, no problem, we will not only give them tools, food, but also send people to help them build their new homes."

Sun Yumin was completely moved by these words, moved by these people, the scarred face was still slightly red, and he said to Liu Wenzhi: "These eleven villages, thousands of refugees, you have to take care of them, people trust us so much, we can't lose our trust." Don't be stingy with money, take it from the people, and use it for the people. ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I don't dare to smear your face." Liu Wenzhi said with a smile, either because the busy work during this period was finally coming to an end, or maybe because Sun Yumin came to see him, in short, he was in a good mood.

"Big brother, the money spent during this period of time is recorded in these account books one by one, you can take a look."

Liu Wenzhi pushed a stack of account books on the table in front of Sun Yumin, but he refused, saying: "I am very relieved that you are doing things, you can keep the account books, I don't need to read them." ”

Sun Yumin really didn't want to look at the pile of boring numbers, and was worried that Liu Wenzhi would have to talk about letting him do these account books, so he hurriedly turned his head to Deng Dongping on the other side and said, "How is the situation on your side?" ”

"I'm not optimistic, I planned to recruit 500 recruits before, but after so long, so much food and money were used, but less than 200 people were recruited, and this still included more than a dozen young people in Yangshupu."

Deng Dongping spread his hands and said that he was helpless.

"Then I see that you are very busy these days, just for these less than 200 soldiers?"

Sun Yumin didn't blame him, but he just felt that he didn't understand.

"I'm busy building a barracks and a playground!" Deng Dongping was not unhappy because the recruitment did not go well, but smiled like Liu Wenzhi.

"I've seen the barracks you built, and they are estimated to be able to accommodate two battalions, but you only have a reinforced company, can you use such a large space?"

Sun Yumin glanced at Deng Dongping and then at Liu Wenzhi, and he finally realized that something was wrong with these two people today.

"Boss, we haven't recruited soldiers now, but it doesn't mean that we won't be able to recruit soldiers in the future, and besides, the barracks are built and placed here without getting in the way."

Deng Dongping replied, after he said these words, he looked at Liu Wenzhi, and the two seemed to be communicating something.

"Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"

Sun Yumin couldn't stand the two of them squirming and squirming, and went out directly.

"I'm going to hide it from you."

Liu Wenzhi and Deng Dongping were confused by this sentence, they were looking at each other, but now they asked softly, and they only replied after confirming it.

"Then you ......"

Sun Yumin pointed at the two, meaning to ask what the two of them were muttering.

"Oh!" Liu Wenzhi suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Dongping said that he now has enough personnel to form a company, and since Li Tianxi and Dai Cunxiang each have a company, he also wants to form a company first." ”

Before Sun Yumin could express his opinion, Liu Wenzhi said again: "Dongping consulted me first about this matter, I think since I can't recruit soldiers for the time being, it is better to let him form a company to train first, don't show off to Li Stuffy Oil Bottle and Dai Ji Gong in front of the brothers, 'Let Dongping, Wenbin and they can't raise their heads.'" ”

"yes, yes." A voice came from outside the door, it was Dong Wenbin, he was no longer the second lieutenant telegraph operator in Nanjing City, but instead learned the rudeness from Sun Yumin and Li Tiedan, and even his face had turned bronze, and according to the words of the little girl, he had become quite masculine.

Sun Yumin knew that it was Dong Wenbin who was here when he heard the voice, this guy has become low-key since he had a with the lieutenant colonel of the city defense army in Wuhan, even if he was the head of the guard regiment in the 20th Division, he didn't like to be in the limelight.

"I thought you had disappeared, like a big girl all this time, squatting in the room every day to embroider?"

Sun Yumin teased Dong Wenbin, it is true that this guy has been "disappearing" for a while, and he doesn't know what he is tossing all day long.

"Boss, you're just going to be embroidering for me, but now I think it's time to come out and breathe." Dong Wenbin said with a hippie smile: "It should be my turn to be the company commander of this newly formed company, so that the stupid bear will run in front of my house every day to laugh at me." ”

"Okay, you kid, you were beating me up on the idea of these recruits."

Hearing this, Deng Dongping immediately became cautious, and said unceremoniously: "It's in vain that I entertain you with good tea and wine every day, it turns out that your kid is also a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, don't come to your old man's house tomorrow, I can't afford to raise you." ”

Although these words were a little ugly, Deng Dongping said them in a joking tone, so it didn't sound disgusted and irritable.

"I said Brigade Commander Deng, don't go with us to rob these small company commanders, the boss is the regiment commander, how can you also be a battalion commander."

Dong Wenbin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he also returned the words with a smile. In fact, when he was in the 20th Division, Deng Dongping only served as the deputy brigade commander for a short time, and it didn't take long for him to fight the bloody battle with the Banhuan Division. Therefore, Dong Wenbin put a high hat on him, and he couldn't refute it.

Sun Yumin finally understood their inner thoughts from the words of these real hardcore brothers and confidants.

Although they are all willing to follow themselves to "fall into the grass", but in fact, they are all a group of hot-blooded men, in this war-torn years, in this crumbling country, where would they be willing to nest in this wilderness.

"Big brother, don't you want to form a three-company so soon? Or are you thinking anything else that you can tell us? ”

Liu Wenzhi noticed his contemplation and asked.

"No, no." Sun Yumin looked at Liu Wenzhi, who was asking, and said to him: "I'm just wondering if our pace is a little too slow." ”

In more than a month, it will be the end of the year, and it will be less than a year since Li Pinxian took over the 21st Group Army in an all-round way, and the peace between the Japanese army and the national army will also come to naught, and the idea of forming at least one regiment-level unit has been carried out in the first part, but the time span is too large, and it has taken nearly three months. If it does not meet its own requirements by then, will this force be pulled out or not? This is also a question that Sun Yumin does not dare to think about at all. Whenever he thinks about these problems, his mind will be particularly confused, the scene in Nanjing, the scene in Lanfeng is like a movie in his mind.

"So do you agree with me to form the Third Company of the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment?" Deng Dongping's tone was a little high, and he seemed very excited.

"Agreed, why not?" Sun Yumin asked rhetorically.

"Great, the competition between Li Stuffy Oil Bottle and Dai Sao Chicken Gong counts my share of the three consecutive companies, if you don't give them a little bit of Ma Wei, we will really lose to Bian Danzhai when we Yangshupu."

Deng Dongping stood up as he spoke, as if he was eager to go to the playground of recruit training immediately to say the good news.

"You're three-in-a-row?" Sun Yumin asked with a smile: "No, no, no, I don't plan to let you take Sanlian, you can give up this position to Wen Bin." ”

"Ahh After hearing this, Deng Dongping sat down like a wilted rooster, his head hung down, and his eyes looked at Dong Wenbin who got this unexpected joy with a sad look, and his eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

"Thank you boss for your trust, I will definitely bring out a force that is far superior to the first and second companies, and give you a long face."

Dong Wenbin just wanted to make fun of Deng Dongping before, but he didn't expect that his dream would come true, so he actually stood up happily and gave Sun Yumin a standard military salute.

Sun Yumin didn't look at Deng Dongping, who was excited, but looked at Deng Dongping, who lowered his head and didn't speak, with a smile.

"Boss, why don't you bring me the three links?"

Deng Dongping lowered his head for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, his eyes were a little red, as if his treasure had been stolen.

"Because you will be the commander of the first battalion of the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment, the first, second and third companies will fight under your command."

Sun Yumin didn't tease him anymore, he made his decision, and seeing that he hadn't reacted for a while, he continued: "I hope you can bring out a battalion that is no worse than the second battalion, and I hope you can bring the first battalion into the backbone of the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment and the sharp knife of the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment." Do you dare to play this package ticket? Do you dare to shoot this chest? ”

Deng Dongping was completely stunned, a moment ago he was still sad about the fall of the commander of the third company, but at this moment he received such a big surprise, his brain didn't shake his mind for a while, or Liu Wenzhi pushed him, and then applauded with Dong Wenbin, he realized that Sun Yumin did not let him take the third company There was such an important arrangement. And Sun Yumin's words are all out of extreme trust and respect for himself, especially the last sentence "Do you dare to pack a ticket?" Do you dare to pat your chest? It aroused his pride even more.

"Boss, I Deng Dongping don't say anything else, you will come to inspect the one, two, and three companies in three months, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can only ask."

Sun Yumin didn't say anything to him again, just nodded.

"Wen Bin, when you form the third company, you should not have too many personnel, you select the soldiers first, and after the selection, hand over the remaining personnel to Yuan Ping, and let him organize these people into a logistics platoon, with him as the platoon leader, directly under the jurisdiction of Deputy Regiment Commander Liu."

Sun Yumin's words caught them off guard again, especially Liu Wenzhi, who didn't even understand who the deputy head of the regiment Liu was.

"What, don't you two congratulate our busy man, don't you congratulate your good brothers?"

Sun Yumin stood up, stretched out his hand to Liu Wenzhi, and said, "This is my idea, and I believe it is also the idea of all brothers. ”

Liu Wenzhi was very excited, tears even appeared in his eyes, both hands held Sun Yumin's outstretched hand tightly, and the sound in his throat made people unable to understand what he wanted to say, what he was saying.

"I want to hold a pledge meeting on the day of the New Year, and officially name our Yangshupu Volunteer Corps, what do you think?"

Before the three of them could digest the previous surprise, Sun Yumin threw another bombshell.

"Great." Liu Wenzhi was the first to speak: "There is still a little more than a month to go, just enough for a few of them to train the troops to look like soldiers, and the oath was just right years ago." ”

Deng Dongping and Dong Wenbin also agreed, and both of them had even begun to imagine the picture at that time.

"You're going to start preparing for this pledge meeting now." Sun Yumin said to Liu Wenzhi: "The location is in the newly repaired playground in Dongping, see if we can find a way to get a batch of military uniforms, whether it is the central army or the local army, when the time comes, we don't want the cockade and military ranks, etc., and dye the badge and armband into our Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment, which can be regarded as the difference between it and the rabble in Wang Degui's hands." ”

"It's a good idea, I told Brother Wen Zhi about it a long time ago, but he never agreed."

Deng Dongping couldn't help but slap his hands and applaud, being able to have a formal military uniform was something he dreamed of.

"I'll try my best to buy it, it may not be so easy to find." Liu Wenzhi was a little hesitant, he was a little disgusted by putting on the uniform of the National Army again.
