Two days later, all units were inspected. One of the most problematic is the issue of recruiting new soldiers. Due to the perennial war and the perennial bandits in Xiangxi, the people here are fierce, and many young and middle-aged people have run away from home to make a living in other places.

Although the Red Army occupied Xiangxi, many political cadres fought local tyrants, divided the land, and won the hearts of the people, but because there were no young and middle-aged people, in two days, the conscription offices of the three divisions did not recruit more than 100 soldiers.

In the evening, the three came to the headquarters to rendezvous.

"Commander, no, many of the young and middle-aged people here can't get by, some have fled to other places to make a living, some are local bandits, and there are basically no qualified soldiers to recruit in the entire countryside, what should you do?" The first was that the political commissar in charge of recruiting soldiers began to launch a crackdown.

"Yes, Legion Commander, I am here too, because of the rampant local bandits, we have the ocean, but the peasants here are really poor, there is no surplus grain to sell to us, and those landlords have no extra supplies. In the past two days, the most affected thing is the ocean. I interrogated it, and guess what they said? Director Li Qing also launched a jail against Liu Hua.

"What did they say?" Liu Hua asked with a smile.

"They said that after hoarding too much food at home, if the bandits came, they couldn't hide it at all, and it would be much easier to hide it if it was replaced by the ocean and gold, and I was so angry at that time." Li Qing replied with a wry smile.

"Well, it seems that the root of the two problems is that there are too many bandits, yes, think of a way!" The three of them fell into deep thought.

"By the way, there's a way!" Liu Hua slapped the table violently.

The two were startled and looked at Liu Hua with staring eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't have flowers on my face." Liu Hua waved his hand and said.

"Tell me quickly, you're going to kill us in a hurry!" Li Qing looked at the relaxed Liu Hua and couldn't help but ask.

The political commissar also showed expectant eyes.

"Political commissar, Director Li, the key to your two problems is the bandit problem here, the young and middle-aged are in the bandits, and the food is also in the bandits, let's heat the pot to get all those bandits, don't all the problems be solved?" Saying that, Liu Hua's right hand made a downward slashing motion.

This is the two of them smiled instantly.

"But, Legion Commander, we don't know where those people are, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is very poor now, how can we eliminate those bandits?" The commissar immediately asked again.

"Well, that's a problem, Commissar, Director Li, see if this works."

"I will release all the reconnaissance battalions of the corps headquarters, let them take the company as a unit, with the remaining radios of the legion, and scatter them all, and let them find the nest of those bandits according to the information of the masses, those scouts have the strongest combat effectiveness in the whole legion, so I believe that they will be able to complete the task and find the nest of those bandits." Liu Hua looked at the silent two people and said.

"Well, I agree, then which force do we use to eliminate those bandits, you know, although the weapons of those bandits are not very good, but the combat effectiveness is really strong." The commissar immediately questioned.

"Political Commissar, Director Li, you see if this will work. We have mobilized the strength of one regiment at a time, and now we have three regiments of troops in each division, and we have left one regiment as the task of guarding and protecting the base areas, one regiment to fight bandits, and the remaining regiment to conduct training, so that this rotation can not only eliminate bandits, but also strengthen the actual combat capability of the troops. ”

Hearing this, the two of them smiled at the same time.

Soon, the three of them made a decision, starting tomorrow, each regiment will begin to conduct rotation training, and each division will start with one regiment and follow the reconnaissance battalion of the corps headquarters to suppress bandits. At the same time, in order not to suffer too many casualties, it was required that the artillery company of the division headquarters must be brought with each operation to suppress bandits.

In this way, this time the memories have achieved good results.

Beginning the next day, in accordance with the order of the corps headquarters, the three divisions each sent a regiment of troops to follow the reconnaissance company to the mountains around the county seat

A month passed, and with the assistance of artillery, the bandits' dens, ranging from a few dozen to a hundred, were wiped out. After receiving accurate information from the reconnaissance company, the main regiments involved in the suppression of the bandits surrounded the hills, and with the assistance of mortars, the bandits were soon bombed everywhere, leaving the main regiment with the task of capturing prisoners

"Good news, Legion Commander! I really didn't expect those bandits to be so rich, no wonder they all wanted to be bandits. First of all, Director Li Qing, who was in charge of raising grain and grass, ran into the headquarters with a list and a smile.

Immediately afterwards, the political commissar also walked in with a smile, looking at the smile on the political commissar's face, Liu Hua knew that he must have achieved rich results.
