Volume III Chapter 17 Acquisition

At this time, in a vacant lot of the largest coal mine in Guangling County, a large group of people were standing, although there was no need to count how many, but it could probably be guessed that there were about 5,000 people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

These people were all in rags, some were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and some were dressed in the military uniform of GMD.

And everyone here is yellow-faced, and some are scarred, and you can tell from the surface that these people are in poor health and are still very weak.

Walking in front of this group of people, Xuan Er said loudly: "Hello everyone, we are the first column of the Eighth Route Army Black Mountain Anti-Japanese Resistance, and I am the detachment leader Xuan Er!" I heard that you want to see me, do you have a master? ā€

At this time, a man in his forties wearing a military uniform who wanted to think about the Northeast stepped forward and said: "Hello, my name is Zhao Hu, the brother here gives face, he is the person in charge here, sir, if you want to know anything, just ask me.!" ā€

"You're a soldier?"

"Well, the colonel of the 1st Division of the 15th Army of the 88th Theater of the National Revolutionary Army."

ā€œ88ļ¼Ÿā€ Xuanji didn't know, but he didn't ask again, and it was easy to cause disgust if he asked too much.

"How did you get captured?" Kenji asked again.

"I was wounded during the Battle of Datong, I was injured in the leg by a shell, and then I was captured!"

"Are all the people here from the 88th Division with you?"

"No, some of these people are from the Second War Zone, some are from the Central Army, and some are from the Jin Sui Army. Most of them are different, they were brought here after being captured, and here they are digging coal for the devils. ā€

Hearing that these people turned out to be not from the same army, but sporadic troops captured by the devils from various places on the battlefield, now Xuan Er knew that as long as it was not the same army, it would be easy to do.

"Are all the people here military?" Genji asked again.

"Not all, there are also some villagers nearby, after the devils captured here, they emptied all the nearby villages, all the old people and children were killed, and the young adults were escorted here to mine and mine."

"Bastard, brute!" Xuanji said angrily.

Xuan Er said loudly: "Hello everyone, my name is Xuan Er is the commander of this army, do you know?" In my eyes, you are not captives, but national heroes, iron-clad men. It is precisely because of you that the nation has hope! After the devils invaded China, they burned and looted all the way, and the villagers in many places were exterminated. We have to let the devils pay for the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese devils with their own blood, and if the devils kill one of us, we will kill 10 of them, and I know that our weapons are backward now, and we are not as good as the devils, but we have hands, and even if we don't have hands, we just use our mouths to gnaw off a piece of meat from the devils. ā€

Seeing that everyone's blood was boiling, Xuan Er continued: "We are all Chinese, don't our older generation have an old saying, break the bones and connect the tendons?" I don't care what everyone used to do, as long as you are bent on fighting devils, I welcome it, but if you become a traitor, I will go to the ends of the earth, and I will kill you, now, I hope you can join our army, of course, if you don't want to, I don't force it. If you want to go back, I can have someone give you money and money, and will anyone want to join us? ā€

"Yes!" Many people responded.

At this time, Zhao Hu suddenly asked, "Can I ask, what level of formation is this Black Mountain column of yours?" Can you take us all at once? We have nearly 5,000 men here, which is equivalent to a brigade. ā€

Xuan Er smiled faintly: "Our official unit number is the First Column of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to Resist Japanese Aggression in Montenegro, which has been established for less than half a year, and its level belongs to the brigade level!" But there is no limit to the number of people"

"You've only been around for such a short time?"

"Well, as for whether I can take you all in, you don't have to worry, there is absolutely no problem." Kenji said loudly.

"It's not impossible to co-opt us, but you have to show enough achievements to convince us, I, Zhao Hu, have already been a prisoner once, and I don't want to be a prisoner again in this life?"

Xuan Er smiled and said, "If you want to say anything else, our department may not be able to meet your requirements, but if you want to talk about the results, I promise that you will definitely be satisfied." ā€

"Oh, then please tell me sir! If you can really convince us, I guarantee that everyone will follow the chief to fight the devil! Zhao Hu said.

"Let's not talk about the previous results, and you won't believe it, just talk about the results of our southward journey this time! Our unit was ordered by the superior to go south to attack the devils, and arrived at the outskirts of Mazhuang County yesterday afternoon, and launched an attack on Mazhuang where the devils were heavily garrisoned that night. At the same time, on a mountain road between Datong and Mazhuang, he ambushed the devils who came to reinforce him, annihilated more than 3,000 devils, and killed a big Zuo of the captain of a wing of the devils. ā€

Then Xuanji continued: "You can see this command knife in my hand, this is that Dazuo's combat knife!" ā€

Saying that, Xuan Er threw the command knife in his hand to Zhao Hu, he believed that the colonel should be a knowledgeable person (since he could be the head of the regiment at that time, if he didn't even have a little eye, then he was still messing around with GMC).

Zhao Hu commanded the suspicious result of the sword, and then carefully observed. The more I looked at Zhao Hu, the more surprised I became, he had gone to a military school, and he naturally knew about the devil's command knife.

Although in the eyes of many people, the saber of the devil is the same, but for those who really have eyesight, there is still a big difference. The main thing is to look at the handle of the knife and the ornament on it, the captain's knife is generally a brass handle, and the "knife thread" (a spike-like ornament hanging from the tail of the sword) on it is also cyan. The adjutant's knife is a silver handle, and the blade is red. The handle of the general's knife is gilded, and the thread of the knife is also yellow. If it is a child of the royal family, it will also be engraved with a chrysanthemum pattern.

The devil sword in front of him is not only of excellent material, but also the handle of the silver knife is decorated with red knives, and at a glance you know that it is a standard adjutant knife.

After Zhao Hu handed the war knife back to Xuan Er, he asked in disbelief, "Is what the chief said true?" ā€

Xuan Er said loudly: "If it is fake, I swear by the honor of a soldier, these achievements are true, if you don't believe it, you will know when the time comes." ā€

Zhao Hu thought about it, saluted a standard military salute at the moment, and said loudly: "Zhao Hu is willing to join the commander's troops, and I hope the commander will take him in." ā€

"Welcome, you will be proud of this decision in the future!" Xuan Erdao.

What Xuan Er said made Zhao Hu a little confused.

It would have been easy for someone to take the lead, except for a part of the common people who were unwilling to leave their homes, everyone else joined the Black Mountain Column.

After counting, there were 4,352 people who were willing to stay. Although the composition of these people is complex, the vast majority of these people have undergone systematic military training, and as long as they are taught a little, they are also good soldiers.

And they all have actual combat experience against devils, and their military literacy is much stronger than that of the newly recruited recruits. Therefore, Xuan Er almost did not hesitate, and quickly temporarily reorganized these 4,000 people into a 4,000-person brigade, and distributed some of the weapons captured before.

Although the surplus weapons and equipment of Xuaner's department and the captured only 1,320 people this time can only be equipped, Xuanji is not in a hurry at all, and now he has not enough weapons and equipment in his hands, but the devil has it! When the time comes, it will be in the hands of the devil, and it will not be enough.

Besides, Xuan Er doesn't have it here, but what about Wang Long, don't say that there are more than 4,000 people at that time, and more than 4,000 people will be able to equip him neatly.

Besides, isn't it going to hit Wei County and Guangling County soon, as the closest county town to the front line of the devils, there will definitely be a lot of weapons and equipment in it, and if you are lucky, you can arm this group of people without having to know the base area.

So Genji is not afraid that there are many people who join.
