Xu Tingyao returned from an inspection surrounded by Yin Jinan, Hu Zi and others, and when she saw the expression on Liu Zhi's face, she immediately knew that the matter was done.

Liu Zhi whispered a few words to An Yi, stood up and called Yang Bin to read out the letter of appointment of the military department in public: appoint Yang Bin as the colonel and staff officer of the supplementary regiment of the second division of the First Army. Liu Zhi added that the appointments of regimental deputy Hu Jialin and instructor and commander of the model battalion Yin Jinan had already been announced at the division headquarters meeting in the morning, saying that the model battalion had received a commendation from the general headquarters and a one-time surname reward of 10,000 yuan for its outstanding performance and outstanding achievements in the Nanchang Campaign.

After sending Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao away, the brothers of the model camp gathered around An Yi with the joy of being promoted to the next level, An Yi looked at the colonel's badge on the chest of Hu Zi and Yin Jinan, and laughed, and said loudly Lao Tzu didn't pay attention just now, the principal and the teacher favored it, and the two of you finally walked in front of Lao Tzu once.

After chatting for a while, An Yi ordered the whole battalion to add food, and asked the signal corps to call all the chief officers above the company level to have lunch and discuss personnel adjustments and other matters.

Dozens of brothers talked while eating, and from time to time you fought over issues such as personnel matching, and they were very happy, An Yi pretended not to see anyone and didn't help, and the brothers finally reached an agreement after more than an hour of bargaining, and the list of battalion and company-level commanders of the Second Division Supplementary Regiment was newly released:

An Yi threw down the last pheasant thigh bone in his hand, drank half a bowl of nourishing medicinal chicken soup, took the handkerchief handed by his subordinates and wiped his mouth and hands, and looked at Chen Zhibiao, Chen Kan and Yang Fei with sad faces and laughed: "What's wrong?" Is this little difficulty stumping you? ”

Chen Kan shouted bitterly: "Boss, let me go back and be the commander of the infantry company, although the military rank is promoted to one level and the official position is promoted to one level, but we don't have a single soldier under us, isn't this what is the commander of the light pole that you often joke about?" ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and An Yi knocked on the table and said loudly: "Are you a pig brain?" How can Lao Tzu let your men have no soldiers to bring? A few days later, more than 120 old brothers who were wounded in the Battle of Fengxin returned, including more than a dozen backbone engineers who were injured and treated after the transfer of the second company of Guangqing at that time, and their establishment was still our model battalion. Secondly, more than 100 brothers who were wounded in the Battle of Nanchang a few days ago will also return one after another, including 11 brave and good old platoon commanders. And most of them are old brothers who have entered my model battalion since Changsha, and they can pick out any one who can be qualified for the position of squad platoon leader, are you still not satisfied? ”

Chen Kan and the three of them suddenly realized, and suddenly turned their worries into joy, and picked up the remaining half of the bowl of rice for a while, causing a burst of laughter from the brothers, and it seemed that the good appetite of the three of them had returned.

Yin Jinan had a brief discussion with An Yi, Hu Zi, and Yang Bin, and then turned to the brothers and announced loudly: "Starting tomorrow morning, the instructors of all battalions and companies must go all out to complete the large-scale propaganda activities and conscription tasks of our regiment. The task of each battalion is that the target of recruiting 300 recruits must be fulfilled, and there is no forced recruitment and no disturbance to the people, and the regimental headquarters will give the battalions maximum support. For battalions and companies that exceed the recruitment task, the regimental headquarters will give an additional reward on the basis of the reward of 500 cash oceans, and if they recruit one more, they will be rewarded with two cash oceans, and they will be given priority in the next equipment exchange. If you don't complete the task, one less will deduct five oceans, and if you don't have money to deduct, you will deduct the military salary of the commanders of each battalion and company, understand? ”

"Understood!"

The brothers replied in unison, and a heated discussion ensued.

An Yi picked up a chicken bone on the table and threw it at the pensive Gu Laoer: "Tiger head, Lao Tzu's legs and feet are inconvenient, and there is no way to lead the brothers recruited by the regiment headquarters to the villages and towns of Gao'an to publicize, you can go for me, anyway, you have to make internal adjustments in the past few days, and your guards don't even have anything to do except normal reconnaissance and vigilance." ”

"Propaganda? I can't do it! As soon as Lao Tzu goes, maybe the villagers will shout that the bandits have entered the village, boss, you can choose another master. ”

Gu Lao Er refused, took out a cigarette and tilted his head to light it, causing the brothers to laugh.

An Yi was also happy: "It's okay, you are very handsome after wearing the uniform of our revolutionary army, and your body is full of swords and guns, maybe as soon as you enter the village, which patriarch and the village chief's daughter will take a fancy to you, and then you only need to be wronged, and go to bed to deal with it for a while, maybe you can lead 1,800 young people back the next day." ”

The brothers burst into laughter, Gu Lao Er stood up suddenly, stared at An Yi for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Boss, can you give me four days?" ”

"Four days? No problem for eight days! This attack suffered heavy losses, and all friendly troops were healing and panting, licking their wounds, and there were no ten days or eight days of breathlessness, and I dare not guarantee any more. Tell me, what do you want to do? An Yi vaguely guessed Gu Laoer's thoughts.

Gu Lao Er smiled and did not answer, but made a request again: "Boss, can you let Lao Tzu take a platoon of brothers out for a walk, you can lend me another five thousand oceans, and I will pay you back in the future, let alone bring back five hundred brothers for you, and just follow me for a month, you can become an elite soldier." ”

An Yi was overjoyed: "Tiger head, as long as you kid can do it, Lao Tzu immediately asked the division to appoint you as the commander of the fourth battalion of my regiment!" Moreover, as soon as you see someone, Lao Tzu immediately goes to the principal and gets the best equipment back for you, which is completely doable! Because our supplementary regiment not only has to participate in battles, but also undertakes the heavy task of training recruits for each main regiment, it can be free from the restrictions of its establishment, even if it is a regular establishment, it is the number of 2,000 officers and soldiers in four battalions, and this is what the division clearly promised me just now. The division also said that the total number of officers and men in the Zhang Zhen Supplementary Regiment under the command of Commander He of the Fujian East Route Army is as high as more than 4,500 people, and it has just been expanded into a reading division of our First Army. ”

Gu Lao Er was greatly encouraged when he heard this, and whispered a few words to Wu Liheng, the deputy next to him, and turned around to leave, An Yi immediately ordered Chang Baofang, the head of the quartermaster logistics unit, to pretend to be the ocean, and Yin Jinan, who was densely thinking, whispered a few words to An Yi and strode towards the temple.

In less than ten minutes, Gu Lao Er led thirty-five strong brothers who had followed him for many years to ride to the high platform, took two heavy pockets from Lao Chang's hands and threw them to Lieutenant Platoon Commander Dou Fang, took the dispatch order from Yin Jinan's hand, saluted Yin Jinan, flew on his horse, raised his hand and bent his index finger to blow a sharp whistle, and led more than 30 elite men who had experienced the war and were being reborn to rush out of the camp gate.

Yang Bin withdrew his gaze from outside the camp gate and whispered to the beard beside him, "Where is Hutou going?" ”

The beard smiled rarely: "He went back to Tonggu to recruit troops." ”

"Brass drums? How many soldiers are there in that little place? Yang Bin asked suspiciously.

Hu Zi explained in Yang Bin's ear for a while, and Yang Bin suddenly realized: "No wonder...... I said, how can those bronze drum soldiers of the guard company and the infantry company be so powerful, they don't want to die in battle, and they can't even catch up with the hundreds of brothers I have brought for several years, it turns out that they are all mountain bandits, such soldiers only need a short training, and they are all elite soldiers in one or two battles! ”

Hu Zi smiled and said, "I was also surprised to see the performance of these soldiers at first, and quietly asked Tiger Head how the brothers he brought could run so well?" The tiger head helplessly told me that in order to prevent the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, the bandits' nests had to be built in the mountains with high dangers of water sources, and they often looked at the road under the mountain on the high mountains. You say, they have been running up and down the mountain for many years, can they not practice the ability to run? ”

Yang Bin's eyes widened, and after thinking about it, he turned to Lu Mingdi beside him to discuss in a low voice, and seeing Lu Mingdi nodding frequently in agreement, Yang Bin walked behind An Yi and Hu Zi and bent down and whispered:

"Xiao Yi, beard, Gao Zhihua, the head of the 37th Regiment of the Jiangxi Army stationed in Jinxian County, southwest of Nanchang, is my sworn brother, who entered the Zhejiang Army Middle School at the same time, and was admitted to the eighth phase of Baoding at the same time, he and Chen Cheng of the East Route Army are artillery brothers, I want to go to him for a trip, it is estimated that he also sees the general trend of the world at this time."

An Yi was ecstatic and forgot about the wound and stood up, half of the wound sat down and sat down, the wound hurt him so much that he grinned his teeth, and Hu Zi and Yang Bin and others hurriedly helped him sit down slowly.

The severe pain calmed down An Yi, and he motioned for Yang Bin to whisper in his ear, Yang Bin nodded and admired it very much, and immediately called Lu Mingdi to enter the General's Temple to pick up the pen.
