"Name?"

"Fourth."

"Age?"

"Twenty-nine."

The officer in charge of registration raised his head and looked at Yan Laosi, and then asked expressionlessly: "Weishenme is a soldier."

Yan Laosi scratched his head, he knew that he was coming to be a soldier, he was to protect the few acres of watered land that his family had just redeemed, and he came to be a soldier to protect his wife and children, but he was not good at expressing himself, and replied in a muffled voice at the moment: "Not for what, I just want to be a soldier and fight Little Japan." ”

The officer nodded, and then asked, "Do you know that you can die in battle when you become a soldier?" ”

"Yes." Yan Laosi nodded honestly, of course he knew this, how could there be immortals in a war

The officer asked, "It's too late for you to regret it now, if you wait for me to put your name on the roster, and then you do it, you will be a deserter, and if you are caught, you will be shot." ”

"No repentance." Yan Laosi shook his head without hesitation.

is still the same sentence, Yan Lao Si never wants to go back to the old days, in order to let his wife and children have food, clothes to wear, and hope, he died, and he did not complain.

The officer registered Yan Laosi's name, and then gave him two pieces of ocean, while saying: "This is your military salary this month, take the military salary and hurry to the opposite military camp to report." ”

"What, also, and military pay?" Yan Lao Si sneered, not daring to reach out to pick it up.

The officer couldn't help but put Dayang in his hand, and then shouted impatiently: "Next." ”

A strong guy with a big waist and a round waist squeezed forward and squeezed Yan Laosi to the side, Yan Laosi carried two pieces of ocean and entered the military camp opposite in a daze.

(Dividing Line)

Not far away, Xu Shijiu, Gao Shenxing, Shu Tongwen, Li Zihan, Niu Sigen and others were watching coldly.

According to the letter of appointment issued by the Third Theater of the Nationalist Government, Xu 19 has officially served as the commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui and the head of the 19th Detachment, and at present, the entire Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui has only one detachment under the jurisdiction of the 19th Detachment, which is a division-level establishment, and the 19th Detachment has four infantry regiments under its jurisdiction.

Li Zihan's Longkou Independent Regiment was reorganized into the L Regiment.

Niu Sigen's Longkou Garrison Brigade was reorganized into the first regiment.

The remnants of Li Shuanggun's Sichuan Army and the bandits of Erlongshan were reorganized into the 3rd Regiment, with Li Shuanggun as the commander, Leng Er and Scar Er, the two old bandits as deputy regiment commanders, and the leaders of the battalions, companies, platoons, and squads under them were all served by veterans of the Sichuan Army.

Of course, Leng Er and Scar Er are dissatisfied with this situation, and the big and small leaders below are even more complaining, but the current Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is no longer the previous Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, with Li Zihan's two infantry companies, if the bandits in Erlongshan want to blow up the stab, then they have to consider the consequences.

The 4th Regiment is a newly built regiment, the regiment commander is Lu Jianbang, and this batch of recruits in Yanjiazhen will become the basis of the 4th Regiment.

Although Yin Shangwen is young, his work experience is extremely rich, only a few days, has completely opened the situation in Yanjia Town, the hot conscription scene in front of him is the best proof, Yanjia Town is nearly 4,000 Dingkou, Zhuang Ding is full of about 1,000 people, even if it is four miles and eight townships, there are only 2,000 people, and now there are four or five hundred people in one guy

Looking at the enthusiastic scene in front of him, Li Zihan also sighed in his heart, turned his head and asked Shu Tongwen: "Ah Wen, in the various anti-Japanese bases of your Communist Party, are the common people so enthusiastic to sign up to join the army?" ”

Shu Tongwen nodded and said: "The situation in the base areas is basically like this, the situation in the guerrilla areas is worse, and as for the consolidation areas mentioned by Little Japan, the common people are very cold. ”

According to the information provided by the Military Command Bureau, the number of anti-Japanese base areas under the leadership of the Communist Party has reached 18, and the total population under its control is likely to have exceeded 50 million, which means that the Communist Party will easily obtain millions of soldiers.

On the other hand, the situation of conscription and conscription in the national army is much worse.

Although Chairman Chiang has already issued a call for "every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops," and young students in various cities and colleges and universities have also shown great enthusiasm and have signed up to join the army one after another, there are not many colleges and universities under the Nationalist Government, and the number of young students is extremely limited, which is simply not enough to make up for the losses of the national army

Therefore, the Nationalist Government could only intensify the conscription of troops in the rear.

Zhuangding from Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guangxi are being sent to the front line in batches.

However, unlike the common people in the communist base areas who enthusiastically signed up to join the army, the strong men in the rear did not voluntarily join the army, but were forcibly recruited by the Nationalist government, and the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has lasted for two years now, and the losses of the national army have already been in the millions, and the officers in charge of conscription in the rear have long had no scruples.

What three out of one, two out of one, now all of them have become ornaments.

Now basically, when they see the strong men, they will catch them, and then use a hemp rope to tie them, and then drive them to the training camp in strings, and then often less than three months of intensive training, they will forcibly drive these strong men to the battlefield, due to the shortage of funds, the training conditions are bad, and many strong men are starved to death before they even go to the training camp.

Even the strong men who survived by luck didn't know why they were fighting.

When they went to the battlefield and died, they didn't know that they would die.

For these clay legs who have never left their hometown since they were born, and don't even know what the concept of the country is, what national righteousness and what country rises and falls are all false, they only know that they are forced to leave their hometown, they only know that they are forced to leave their wives and children, they only know that they are forced to take a gun and set foot on the battlefield

It is conceivable how much combat effectiveness such a group of soldiers can have in a unit.

As a knowledgeable and thoughtful officer, Li Zihan has already reached this kind of crisis, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the national army has been extremely seriously degraded, and now many troops, not to mention small Japanese field divisions, often encounter small Japanese garrison brigades, and they are often about to collapse at the touch of a button.

What is even more exaggerated is that some units will collapse as soon as they hear the sound of small Japanese artillery.

On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the guerrillas under the leadership of the Communist Party fought vigorously behind enemy lines, and there was a tendency to become stronger and stronger.

Looking at these township parties in Yanjia Town, Li Zihan roughly knows what is going on.

In a word, the soldiers of the Communist Party knew that Weishenme was fighting, so they died in battle, and they also knew that Weishenme was dying, while the soldiers of the National Army did not know that Weishenme was fighting at all, and they died in battle and did not know why.

However, it is precisely because of this realization that Li Zihan also has a sense of crisis more and more.

If the Communist Party is not able to reverse this situation as soon as possible, I am afraid that when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is won and little Japan is defeated, the whole of China will be the territory of the Communist Party.

Chairman Chiang must have realized this because he had made frequent moves recently.

Specific to Longkou, Li Zihan also believes that it is necessary for him to restrict the Communist Party's shili, the anti-Japanese democratic government was formed with the consent of Xu Jiujiu, and let the Communist Party seize the opportunity, it is too late for him to stop it, but the army, the group of high-morale mud legs in front of him, must no longer be controlled by the Communist Party

At that moment, Li Zihan made a suggestion to Xu Shijiu: "Commander, the 4th Regiment is all new recruits, I am afraid that it is not conducive to training, and it is not conducive to the formation of combat effectiveness, why don't we transfer some bones from our L Regiment to veterans and enter the 4th Regiment as grassroots officers?" After finishing speaking, Li Zihan turned his head and asked Lu Jianbang, "Old Lu, what do you think?" ”

"It's a good idea." Lu Jianbang had no partisan strife in his heart, of course, he was full of promises.

Xu Shijiu also just wanted to be a pure soldier, and it was indispensable, so he said at the moment: "It's okay." ”

Yin Shangwen's face changed drastically, and when he was about to express his objection, Shu Tongwen stopped him with a look.

Of course, Shu Tongwen knew that Li Zihan was taking the opportunity to control the 4th Regiment in order to prevent the Communist Party's Shili from continuing to infiltrate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but the general trend of history could not be reversed by manpower.
