"What are we going to do next?" Fang Xiaodong suddenly spoke.

After they crossed the Yangtze River, they gathered scattered troops all the way and came towards the Xuzhou area.

At present, although they have come to the vicinity of Xuzhou, they do not have a fixed place at this time, which is not conducive to the development of the army.

At present, although they have a full and mixed brigade establishment, they are extremely short of soldiers, and if there is no fixed camp to train soldiers, the formation of this brigade is useless.

And Chen Qingzhi is naturally thinking about this problem.

Chen Qingzhi doesn't have to think about the equipment of soldiers, he has more than 500,000 points, and he can completely pull up a unit.

The most important thing at the moment is the issue of soldiers, if there is no fixed camp, even if he is given a division structure, it will be a chicken rib.

What's more, after the Japanese army captured Nanjing, it was about to approach Xuzhou in the near future, and Chen Qingzhi had to recruit enough recruits in the shortest possible time, and then immediately put them into training.

Only in this way can his independent brigade kill devils fiercely in the next big war!

"We now have about 150 soldiers, plus more than 400 stragglers who have come all the way to collect them, adding up to about 600 people!" Chen Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said: "With these six hundred people as the foundation, we can build the shelf, and then we only need to recruit five or six thousand people and form enough soldiers for three reinforced regiments, which is enough!" ”

"Brigade seat, these paratroopers are people from other units, although they have been dispersed, but we rashly incorporated them, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate!" Hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, Fang Xiaodong frowned and said with some concern.

"Don't worry about this!"

Chen Qingzhi waved his hand and said indifferently: "No matter which unit they were in before, now our independent brigade wants it!" ”

"Although the combat quality of these people is not very reliable, after all, they are also veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield, and they are much better than new soldiers! With them, we will be able to build the framework of an independent brigade, let them all be squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, and train with new recruits, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will soon be pulled up! ”

At this time, the situation was urgent, and the Battle of Xuzhou was about to start, and there was not much time left for Chen Qingzhi, so Chen Qingzhi couldn't manage so much, and directly forcibly pulled all these gathered soldiers over.

If someone wants to ask for it later, just shirk it, and if it's a big deal, it's a big deal!

Anyway, the people have already arrived at their independent brigade, and Chen Qingzhi will not let them go no matter what!

Chen Qingzhi's approach is really a bit laid-back, but there is no way to do it.

In fact, if there was enough time left for him, Chen Qingzhi didn't want these stragglers at all.

After all, although these soldiers have been on the battlefield, who knows if there are some veterans or deserters in them, and this kind of people staying in the army is a scourge.

According to Chen Qingzhi's idea, he actually wants to recruit all the recruits, and then use his scientific training method to train the recruits, which has a great effect!

It's just that Chen Qingzhi doesn't have so many things!

I can only do it in a hurry!

At this time, it was already late December, and they had been in the Xuzhou area for a few days.

Originally, he planned to recruit troops from the garrisons, but Shangfeng's order never came down, and Chen Qingzhi did not dare to recruit troops rashly, so he could only find a random place and use it as a temporary station.

Now that the letter of appointment has also come down, and his unit has been expanded into an independent brigade, it is just right to arrange the recruitment of troops.

The matter of recruiting troops should be sooner rather than later, otherwise when the Japanese army comes, it will not be useful for his independent brigade to take these hundreds of people!

It's just that if you want to recruit troops, you still need to negotiate with the local government, otherwise it is easy to conflict.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhi said to Fang Xiaodong: "Xiaodong, you take people to stay here, take care of these collected stragglers, don't let them go!" As for Huzi, you come with me, let's go to the nearby county seat and negotiate with the local county magistrate! ”

"Yes!"

Telling Fang Xiaodong to take care of his home, Chen Qingzhi took Huzi and a few soldiers who accompanied him, rode a few fast horses, and after asking the way, he galloped straight towards the county seat.

……

Qingyuan County is located in the northeast of Xuzhou, less than 70 miles away from Xuzhou, Qingyuan County is only a small county town compared to Xuzhou.

But although the county seat is small, there are many people.

Around Qingyuan County, there are also many villages and towns, and the county is also bustling, and there are many people coming and going.

I didn't see a cold look.

In fact, it stands to reason that there are not so many people in Qingyuan County, but because all the troops of the Republic of China have withdrawn to the Xuzhou area, military disasters and bandits are rampant, and some people have no choice but to temporarily take refuge with their relatives in the county from the countryside.

I want to live in the county seat for a while, and when the GIs are gone, I am moving back.

This also makes the city a little more crowded than ever!

At this time, not far from the city, a group of seven or eight cavalry people was galloping towards the county seat of Qingyuan, led by a young man in military uniform, with a shining gold star on the collar, reflecting a dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.

Extraordinarily eye-catching!

It was Chen Qingzhi and Huzi and his party!

"Brigade, Qingyuan County is not far away, we are almost there!"

A cavalryman rushed over against them, and after arriving in front of Chen Qingzhi, he took a breath and said.

"Phew!"

Chen Qingyi pulled the reins, stopped his horse, took out his binoculars and looked at Qingyuan County in the distance, and saw that the county town was full of people, and there were a few soldiers with rifles guarding the door, which did not look the slightest abnormal.

He put down his binoculars and said to the soldier, "How is the situation in Qingyuan County?" Did you talk to the magistrate here? ”

"Brigade, after entering the county seat, I wanted to go to the county magistrate, but when I was talking to the county magistrate, the head of the security regiment here suddenly broke in, and the head of the security regiment is not a thing! I said that our brigade commander was going to come to see the county magistrate here, but the head of the security regiment scolded me and drove me out! ”

When he said this, there was still a look of resentment on the warrior's face.

"You didn't tell the county magistrate what we were here for?" Hearing this, Chen Qing was stunned, and then said.

"That's it! The county magistrate heard that the brigade was coming, and he was very cooperative, but after the head of the security regiment spoke, the county magistrate wanted to refute but was helpless! The warrior said.

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Chen Qing's heart suddenly understood.

The county magistrate who wants to come here should be overshadowed by the so-called head of the security regiment!

Although the county magistrate wanted to cooperate, because of the coercion of the head of the security regiment, he couldn't help it.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhi's face suddenly turned cold.

I really didn't expect that after being promoted to major general and brigade commander, I wanted to set up a recruiting point in the county, but even this thing was suppressed by a small security regiment commander.

This made Chen Qingzhi extremely angry!

"Let's go, let's take a look, I want to see what kind of person this so-called head of the security regiment is!"

Chen Qingzhi said coldly, and then the whip in his hand was raised, driving the war horse towards Qingyuan County.
