''Folks, everyone has worked hard, don't get me wrong, we don't mean anything else today, we just want to provide a safe place for everyone, and, as long as we have a bite to eat, we won't starve everyone, as for them, these soldiers with loaded guns, they are the same as you, they are ordinary people, but they are not willing to be bullied by the Japanese devils, they bravely picked up the guns in their hands, and vowed to fight with the Japanese devils to the end, we are all the people's soldiers, we will protect you, Our guns will never be pointed at you, so rest assured. Liu Changfeng said loudly.

As soon as Liu Changfeng's voice came, the refugees immediately exploded, and they had never even heard of such a unit, and for a while everyone was talking about each other.

''Sir, may I join your team?'' I also want to fight the Japs. One of the refugees said in a tower-like voice.

"Of course, as long as you have a gun and a lot of blood, we will not refuse." Liu Changfeng said awe-inspiringly.

''Sir, I'll go with you to kill devils, and my elderly father and young sister can stay here, and will you give them food too?'' A young man with a green face asked aloud with anticipation on his face.

''Your father is our father, your sister is our sister, and we will not let our warriors shed blood and tears. Liu Changfeng said sternly.

''Okay, count me in.'' The young boy said categorically.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

For a time, the refugees enthusiastically signed up to join the army, maybe they didn't believe Liu Changfeng's words too much, they hadn't even heard of the troops who joined the army and took care of their families, but they invariably chose to believe, maybe some of them just wanted to have a full meal, some people had no better choice, and some people were revenge because their relatives were killed.

And Liu Changfeng does not have such conditions now, but he still promised them, firstly, because the Japanese will soon occupy China on a large scale, and the result of their continued escape is likely to be a dead end, and the other reason is because he urgently needs to expand the team, and he believes that those old people, women and children will play their role sooner or later, as long as he works harder, they can still be fed.

According to statistics, the number of young and middle-aged people who have joined the army has reached an astonishing 1,200, and more than 100 girls have also volunteered to join the army, and the total number of other elderly women, women, and children has also reached 7 or 800.

Now that the decision has been made, the first problem is undoubtedly to solve the problem of their residence first, Feiyun Village inside and outside are tall trees, it is easy to simply make a temporary shelter from the wind and rain, there are many people, and it is easy to do twice the result with half the effort, and the problem of accommodation will be solved in a few days.

Liu Changfeng knew that within three months, the Battle of Xuzhou was in full swing, and the Japanese must not have time to take care of Feiyun Village, but he still took precautions and fully took into account the factors of air defense and anti-explosion when building the house, as well as the rationality of the layout of the house.

Lian Yi received an order from his boss the next day and left Feiyun Village, and Liu Changfeng and Lian Yi made an appointment to fight side by side in the future.

Under the leadership of Wang Feiyan, Deng Fei's troops went west to cities and counties that were not affected by the war to buy grain, which was not easy for them, after all, the amount of grain they had to buy was huge, and the situation along the way was very complicated.

Liu Changfeng remembered that he had a large amount of grain in Zhangjiawan, so he asked Li Jie to lead Zhang Hu and other people in Zhangjiawan to get the grain back.

Liu Changfeng conducted targeted training for the 1,200 newly recruited recruits, striving to form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, because now that a major war is imminent, there is no room for delay.

Liu Changfeng, Zhuo Wei, Situ Ming, and Mo Haitao became the busiest people, and they carried out mandatory training for these recruits like a marquee, from the most basic military appearance to the essentials of shooting, to the survival skills on the battlefield, all of which cost them a lot of scheming and painstaking efforts.

After discussing these complete recruits, Liu Changfeng and Lu Shaohui unanimously decided to transfer backbone cadres from the officers and men of the original 87 th Division to serve as important officers among these recruits, and after re-optimizing and combining, the entire unit was integrated into a regiment, and Li Jie, Du Yimin, and Gao Jun had already been promoted to battalion commanders.

The stockpiles of guns in Feiyunzhai's warehouse are not enough for each recruit to have a gun, and Liu Changfeng looks forward to solving this problem in the next operation.

Those girls who asked to join the army, Liu Changfeng did not disappoint them, according to their education level and expertise, they were also assigned corresponding positions, but they were all some medical personnel, radio translators and communicators, and even in the cooking class washing and cutting vegetables, of course, they had to go through strict training before they could take up their posts.

The next day, Li Jie and others retrieved the grain in Zhangjiawan without any danger, with a total of about thirteen tons, which is almost enough for ten days of food consumption for everyone in Feiyun Village. Things went well, Liu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and began to expect Wang Feiyan and others to bring good news, but Wang Feiyan and the others had a very complicated task, and Liu Changfeng and the others had to wait patiently.

Although Liu Changfeng and others were anxious, they did not wait, but stepped up the training of the recruits, Liu Changfeng placed great hopes on these recruits, and he hoped that the recruits would quickly grow into all-round soldiers who could perform complex tasks.

On the sixth day, Wang Feiyan finally returned to Feiyun Village, but Wang Feiyan and Deng Fei's faces were not good-looking, because they only bought back thirty tons of grain. Liu Changfeng was silent for a while, and comforted Wang Feiyan and Deng Fei, he knew that in this era of war and chaos, it was not easy to buy a large amount of grain. After comforting, Liu Changfeng began to have a headache, since he couldn't buy food, maybe he had only one way, and that was to "rob." ‘’

On February 9, 1938, the Japanese reinforcements finally arrived in Bengbu and took over the rear positions of the Japanese 13th Division in Chihe and Fengyang. (To be continued.) )
