At more than 2 o'clock in the evening, Hu Bin's convoy finally arrived in Linxiang, but those transport convoys had to go to other places, Hu Bin did not dare to store those materials in Linxiang, if the devil knew, a plane could blow up the warehouse, so these materials must be dispersed.

At this time, Li Tianxing and Wang Changhe arranged the warehouse, and now that Li Nian is back, the affairs of these warehouses will be handed over to him to do.

"Xiaobin, it's good to be back, we learned that it will be expanded into 8 divisions, I don't know how happy we are!" Li Tianxing said to Hu Bin with a smile.

At this time, they lived in a peasant family outside Linxiang City, and the family had already fled, so Li Tianxing sorted it out here and used it as the headquarters of the division, which should now be said to be the headquarters of the army.

"Well, there are still a lot of things, 8 divisions, we are now a division of troops, the remaining 7 divisions of troops are to be recruited, there are not many people in Hunan at all, we have to continue to move forward, recruit soldiers from Hubei, by the way, when will the cadres from Yan'an arrive!" After Hu Bin arrived at the headquarters, he sat down, looked at Li Tianxing and asked.

"They have come in batches, the fastest is tomorrow night, the slowest may be a week, they are all from different places, so the time is different, and this time Yan'an has supported us with more than 3,000 cadres, and on our side, I picked it, there is still a shortage of middle-level cadres on our side, especially battalion-level cadres!" Li Tianxing looked at Hu Bin and said.

"Well, the captains of the battalion-level cadre special regiment can do it, and there are excellent platoon commanders, who can also be promoted to battalion commanders, and we will have a meeting tomorrow on this matter. Discuss the appointment and dismissal of grassroots cadres in the entire division, above the regimental level, now that it has been decided, there are basically no major variables, but it is still those battalion-level cadres who really lead the officers and men on the front line. Therefore, these cadres must be selected well, and they must not be sloppy! Hu Bin sat there and said.

They talked until dawn, and only after Li Nian came back from the warehouse did they go to rest, but Li Nian couldn't rest yet, he still had to prepare for the recruitment and propaganda work, and the appointment and dismissal of new cadres, all of which were for him to carry out.

Although he is the deputy commander, he is also the political commissar appointed and dismissed from Yan'an. In fact, Li Nian's level is half a level higher than Hu Bin.

Two days later, some cadres came, Hu Bin received them, this time Hu Bin's more than 20 million oceans, the commander did not take a penny, and told Hu Bin that he spent the money himself. He can spend as much as he wants, and he can use it himself. It is okay for the troops to use it, and Hu Bin is in charge.

Because this money was originally brought back by Hu Bin, it is considered Hu Bin's personal, and the commander has already asked for more than 10 million, so he is embarrassed to ask for it again.

And Hu Bin saw those cadres coming over and paid for it himself. After inviting those cadres to eat and then talking to them, Hu Bin and they had already sent a small force to Honghu. The Jingzhou area approached, and the recruiting team also began to move.

Yesterday day, less than 500 people were recruited, and today is estimated to be this number a day, there are too many people fleeing, and there are not many young people staying at home at all, but fortunately, Hu Bin is now hanging in the national Jun sequence, and Hu Bin is also a famous anti-Japanese general, so many young people know that it is Hu Bin's troops after recruitment, not only not disgusted but also actively join the army.

After Hu Bin had invited those cadres to dinner at noon, he began to hold a meeting of the military headquarters in the evening, and Ning Ze, deputy chief of staff and deputy political commissar who had just arrived, also arrived.

"The people who have built the military department have arrived, today is the first party meeting of our military department, there are many things, we have to determine them one by one, the first, the recruitment of the army, and the second, training.

The third is the training and promotion of cadres, the fourth is the selection of the station, the fifth is the training and combat situation of the troops in the next three to six months, and the sixth is the problem of getting along with the local people! At present, these are the few questions, and you can also talk about them if you have something to add! This time, because it was a party meeting, Li Nian presided over the meeting, so he was the first to say.

According to our current estimates, the entire recruitment process may take 2 months, 8 divisions, plus the reserve force we originally wanted to form, it is expected to recruit 160,000 soldiers.

To be honest, it is very difficult, there are not many civilians here at all, we can only go deep into the north to be able to recruit soldiers, and this has to be coordinated with military operations, depending on the combat situation of our special regiment! After Li Nian finished speaking, he looked at Hu Bin.

"In the past few days, our troops have been operating in Jingzhou, and there is currently a wing of troops on the Jingzhou side, according to Xiang Feng's report last night, last night, we annihilated all the checkpoints outside Jingzhou, maybe the devils know that I am going to fight them, so they have now concentrated their troops in Jingzhou City, and they dare not go out of the city to fight.

In this way, our recruitment team can go to the countryside to recruit soldiers, and now the devils in Jingzhou, our special regiment is targeting, and we can ensure the safety of our recruitment team! Hu Bin said.

"Well, it's taken too long to recruit soldiers, and training is a problem!" Li Tianxing opened his mouth and said.

"We have used the fastest speed to recruit, at least 2 months, not even enough, this is still what we expected the devil not to attack, if the devil comes to attack, we may not be enough for 3 months!" Li Nian opened his mouth and said.

"I know, is there any other way to get the people to support us quickly? I'm just proposing! Li Tianxing said.

"No, we are now a new base here, and the people here are not familiar with us before, and it will take time." Li Nian shook his head and said.

"In this way, no matter how you recruit, how much time it takes, how many troops you recruit, we will train as many troops, but when training, I have an idea, that is, first train the troops to use firearms, then train the troops in tactical movements, and finally physical fitness.

I thought, training firearms in the morning, tactical actions in the afternoon, digging trenches in the evening to train physical fitness, now we can only do this, we must do a good job of fortifications, who knows when the devils will come, in addition, I gave an order to the special regiment, kill the devils in Jingzhou within a month, we must control the entire Jingzhou.

At present, our place is too small, it is simply not enough to support the development of nearly 200,000 troops here, and it must be expanded, according to my speculation, the devil may mobilize troops within a month.

At that time, they would come and attack us at any time, but in a month's time, we had trained our soldiers in the use of guns and tactical movements, and the trenches had been dug, so we were less stressed.

I estimate that if the devil comes to attack us, it will be at least 3 divisions of troops, but as long as we kill one of the divisions, the devil will be stunned, and he will not dare to lose too many troops here, and he will enter a stalemate stage, which is also beneficial to us, so I plan to train the troops in this way, what is your opinion? Hu Bin asked.

"No opinion, we have to quickly get the fighters into combat effectiveness!" Li Tianxing shook his head and said.

"I don't have an opinion either, that's good!" Li Nian opened his mouth and said.

"I have no opinion, now we are short of time, we need to compress the time as much as possible, and improve the training level of the fighters!" Ning Ze also spoke.

"That's good, that's it, we don't have a problem with logistics now, and when we expand our base area, it is estimated that there will be no problem." Hu Bin said.

The others all nodded, and now Hu Bin has a large amount of supplies here, which is enough to support the consumption of the troops for more than half a year.

"Then what about the training of our cadres, now we are a unit of 8 divisions, and we need a large number of cadres, and the ones we have promoted now have been deployed from Yan'an, which is still not enough, but fortunately, the soldiers are not fully recruited now, so there is still time!" Li Nian opened his mouth and said.

"I think so, each division has set up a teaching group, and the meritorious soldiers will enter the teaching group first, and I have already applied to Yan'an, and the commander and commander-in-chief have agreed, and I will mobilize 100 instructors from all over the country, and I plan to assign them to each division.

However, what I need to make clear is that the teaching regiments of each division cannot be easily transferred to the front line to fight unless absolutely necessary, and this is a regiment for training cadres at the grassroots level.

Moreover, I also have a preliminary idea, that is, in the future, the training of recruits will be handed over to the teaching regiment to do, so that those cadres who have just been promoted will first be familiar with leading the troops, and they will also be familiar with those recruits. Hu Bin opened his mouth and said, and they all nodded when they heard it, thinking that it would work.

"So what are the requirements for entering the Teaching Corps?" Li Nian asked.

"If one of the three conditions is met, first, those who have education and no military merits can be trained as instructors and political commissars, and second, those who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield can have third-class merit or above, or those who have killed more than 2 enemies and can read 500 words.

Third, special talents, such as fighters who have special skills in a certain aspect, or who have not killed devils but have made meritorious contributions in key places, can also be promoted and entered into the cadres of the teaching regiment, and the training period at the grassroots level is three months.

That is to say, after going down, those who are deputy platoon commanders, platoon commanders, and deputy company commanders will stay in the teaching regiment for 3 months, and middle-level cadres, such as company commanders, deputy battalion commanders, battalion commanders, and deputy regiment commanders, will stay in the teaching regiment for more than 6 months, and cadres at the brigade commander and division commander level will be selected from those grassroots cadres, and if we can, we will also send them to Yan'an for training! Hu Bin looked at them and said.

According to statistics, throughout World War II, the average professional life of a company commander was about 15 days, that is, many company commanders died in less than 15 days, and sometimes a company, when fighting, sacrificed several company commanders a day, and promoted one to sacrifice one.
