The first thing Xu Fei did when he returned to the cottage was to convene a meeting, he saw that a large number of people had increased in the cottage, and even the small cottage seemed crowded around, when everyone entered the conference hall and sat down, Xu Fei signaled Wu Hongtian, who was in charge of training in the cottage, to report the situation.

"Report to the commander that after three days of recruitment, a total of 685 healthy recruits between the ages of 15 and 30 have been recruited in Gushan Town and its surrounding villages, 352 people have been recruited in Chagou Town and its surrounding villages, and 466 people have been recruited in Biling Town and its surrounding villages;

In addition, 755 people from other neighboring towns and villages came to join the army, with a total of 2,258 recruits, 155 veterans of the Japanese army, and 162 people who took refuge in Baiyundong, bringing the total number of our army to 2,575. Wu Hongtian got up and directly reported the recruitment situation in the past few days in detail and loudly.

"How can you recruit so many qualified soldiers, don't you need people in the surrounding land?" Xu Fei looked at the several commanders present suspiciously and asked.

"Hey......

Chen Jian, who had been smiling all the time, smiled and signaled that he needed to speak, and after Xu Fei nodded, he stood up and said:

"Commander, didn't I say that day, in the current northeast, in addition to being collected by the landlord for rent, the common people also have to pay taxes, and their current life is like being in dire straits, and many people have a meal but not a meal;

Being able to come out as a soldier and eat food is a hundred times happier than working as a long-term worker in a landlord's house, not to mention that we have copied more than 20 landlords and old rich people in the surrounding towns and villages in the past few days, and most of the landlords have been cut off by us. They learned that our extermination of the Japanese army was an armed force for the welfare of the common people, and they all rolled up their sleeves and signed up desperately. Otherwise, the number of recruits this time is estimated to be much higher. ”

"Is that so, then all the settling-in allowances we have paid are in place, right?" Xu Fei asked with a wry smile.

He knew that although it was not very glorious to be a soldier in this era, countless young men had to join the army as a soldier in order to survive, and his own army is now gradually making a name for the welfare of the people, although there is no action yet, with the record of consecutive victories with the Japanese puppet army, as long as the people are unwilling to be traitors, they will definitely be willing to join their own team.

"It's in place. Each of them was given ten oceans, and although that little money didn't buy much, the recruits and their families were very grateful to the commander. It's just that we only have enough weapons for about 1,000 people at this time, and I hope the commander will think about it as soon as possible, otherwise more than half of the people will have no weapons to use. Wu Hongtian looked at Xu Fei and said.

weapon, I felt very depressed about this Xu Fei. This even went to buy and even rob once. The existing guns are only a thousand zero, originally thought that recruiting a thousand weapons would be enough to use, but now there are more than double the number of recruits, at least half of them can't get weapons at all, he shook his head and said with a smile:

"Hey...... In this way, I will continue to think of a way to deal with the weapon, Yu Shuaihu has already gained a foothold in Yingkou, as long as his contact with the outside is expanded. I told him to get more weapons from outside and come back, right Captain Ye Hao. What happened to the artillery squadron you formed? ”

"Report to the commander, the artillery squadron has now been formed, equipped with 12 Japanese-made 90 mortars, 2 90 mountain guns, 12,000 mortar shells, 2,000 70 mountain artillery shells, and 150 reserve artillery personnel are now in basic education. After joining the army, Ye Hao, who was even more dull than Wu Hongtian, stood up from his seat and replied loudly.

"Oh, sit down!" Xu Fei said with a light smile.

Xu Fei couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart when he saw Ye Hao's seemingly unusually calm face, although this kid had a calm expression and a calm face, the unbearable joy in his eyes estimated that even everyone present couldn't hide it;

An artillery commander who returned to China to study abroad, but after returning to China, he didn't even touch the artillery, and now he has the opportunity to train and command an artillery unit that can fight the invaders, for a hot-blooded young man like him, the degree of excitement in his heart can be imagined, and it is already commendable that Ye Hao can do it without showing his face.

Glancing at the commanders with hidden smiles on their faces, Xu Fei couldn't help but sigh, he had come to this world for three months of hard work, and with the help of the exchange system against the sky and the ability of cultivators, he had gathered more than 2,500 people;

For those who can easily subdue the regular army as soon as they appear, quickly pull up the mountain and raise the banner, there are countless followers, and finally subdue the whole country to occupy the world Xu Fei has always admired it, he has no ability, so he has to step by step.

The commanders are happy because they have people and weapons, and the growth of the Japanese army will not be a problem at all, and their thoughts are not the same as the decision in Xu Fei's heart, but the expansion of the army does give everyone some confidence in the future road.

"Hmm...... This time, we have done a good job of recruiting new soldiers, but 2,500 people are enough for two regiments, and we have no problem with the consumption of ammunition now, but we still need to find a way to use weapons, but we can still relax during training, and we can use up enough ammunition for as much time as we should, and I don't want the troops to slack off in training because of insufficient weapons. Xu Fei said in a deep voice.

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and after his heart suddenly moved, his eyes lit up, and he looked at his subordinates and said loudly:

"Since the number of our troops has far exceeded the two regiments, then we need to change the establishment next, we will not change the title of destroying the Japanese army, the original number of people was not large but the framework of a brigade was established, but now the name of the brigade is no longer good, we have more than 2,000 people, why don't we get a detachment or what brigade to call out, what do you all think?"

Xu Fei's abrupt question was actually very simple, he suddenly thought that his position in the system had not changed, just the commander of the Japanese army, and there was a note behind it (below the brigade and regimental level), this time the manpower was enough, and the regiment level and the brigade level should be satisfied;

When he looked down just now, he went in and took a look, and found that his remark had changed to the brigade and regimental level, and he didn't have time to see what changes had changed in the system, so he quickly withdrew to try the possibility of continuing to improve the level.

"The detachment doesn't seem to sound good, but when I hear it, it's like a team attached to someone, and as for the brigade-level units, two or three regiments are also fine, and seven or eight regiments are fine, and I personally think that the use of a brigade-level establishment is the most suitable for the current situation of our troops." Speaking of this, Chen Jigang, who was the most enthusiastic, immediately replied. (To be continued......)
