Chapter 4: Recruiting Troops (New Book for Onlookers)

Chen Feng knows that surviving in this era is like dancing on a landmine, whether it is an official, a soldier, or a flat-headed ordinary person, it is not easy for everyone. Needless to say, the poet Zhang Yanghao's sentence "Xing, the people suffer, death, the people suffer" shows the difficulty of the people's survival.

Besides, it is not easy to be an official in this era, this era is a world of guns, and no one will take you seriously without military power, so a large number of large and small warlords have been born. These great warlords such as Zhang Xueliang of the Feng lineage, Li Zongren of the Gui lineage, Yan Xishan of the Jin line, and Feng Yuxiang of the northwest lineage. There are so many small warlords that there are warlords in as small as a township and as large as a county.

It is not easy for those politicians who do not have military power to live in front of these warlords, large and small, and it is common for them to be unable to make government orders in front of the barrel of a gun, and sometimes they will lose their heads.

Speaking of the privileged group warlords of this era, this big warlord is good to say, as long as they don't make trouble themselves, others may not be able to do anything to them, if they are thicker-skinned, then they will be more worry-free. But the lives of those little warlords are not as nourishing as imagined, and they are also a group that survives in the cracks.

Why do you say that, because in the eyes of the big warlords, these small warlords are both their own subordinates and their potential threats. I have to rely on them to do things, and I have to be on guard against them at all times, in case suddenly one day the end of the day is too big. Therefore, this small warlord must have his own way of survival, this army can neither be less nor more, if there is less, the local squire clan will not be afraid of you, and if there is more, it will be remembered by the bigger warlord.

Chen Feng has now become the head of the security regiment and the commander of the city defense in Xinghe County, it can be said that Chen Feng is already the highest military governor in Xinghe County, and he is already a small warlord, so Chen Feng must think of his own way of survival.

In this era, there are only two ways for warlords to want someone to have a gun and not be coveted, the first is of course to hold your thighs, as long as there is someone above you to speak for you, then you are not afraid. But Chen Feng is now only the head of a small county security regiment, and the officer he knows the most is only Li Jingyuan, the director of the provincial security department.

Moreover, Chen Feng also knew that the war was about to break out, and whoever he hugged would be in vain, so he might have become someone else's cannon fodder.

In addition, this hugging of the thighs is exquisite, which is equivalent to standing in the officialdom, once you stand up, you will completely put yourself into a certain camp, and you have nothing to say when the enemy strikes you, and like Chen Feng's current status, even if you really want to hug someone's thigh, people are not necessarily rare him.

This second way is the bandits, what are the bandits? Bandits, lawless and chaotic people, they burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil, and they trample on party discipline and state law, which is not tolerated by the people of the country.

As long as there are bandits on your territory, then both the people in the jurisdiction and the leaders at the higher level will have to rely on you, and it will be much easier to ask for guns, money, and numbers when the time comes. Judging from the current situation, if Chen Feng wants to have greater development, there is only this road that can be taken. Besides, it's only a few months, and after a few months, the Japanese invade in a big way, who can take care of him as a little shrimp.

However, there are also many kinds of bandits, in addition to the common bandits, there are more difficult horse bandits and more difficult red bandits. As the name suggests, this horse bandit is a bandit on a horse, and the reason why this kind of bandit is difficult is because they have good mobility, they can fight if they can fight, and if they can't beat it, they will flee, and the security regiments in various places are often mainly infantry, and they often have to suffer big losses when they encounter horse bandits. In the propaganda of the national government, the red bandits are all red-haired and red-eyed, and they will kill and rob people when they see them, and there is no distinction between men and women, which is extremely terrifying. However, the vast majority of intellectuals knew that these Red Bandits were nothing more than the vilified Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

Two of these three kinds of bandits can be touched, and one cannot be touched. This bandit and horse bandit can be touched, and there are few strongmen who occupy the mountains and reign in that place in this year, and they are commonplace. However, red bandits are not common, and the Nationalist Government regards them as tigers and wolves. Once there are red bandits in that place, the local military governor will be held accountable, and a large number of regular troops will be driven over, and it will not necessarily be a good thing for the local military governor at that time, so the red bandits cannot be touched in any way.

There is no doubt that there are indeed horse bandits on Chen Feng's territory now, after all, Li Deguang, the former head of the security regiment, proved this with his own life and the lives of hundreds of regiments.

But Chen Feng knew that this horse bandit had come and gone without a trace, and no one dared to guarantee that they would stay in Xinghe County all the time, and it was obviously not safe to use them as an excuse. Besides, if such a powerful horse bandit was really stationed in the jurisdiction, Chen Feng himself might not be happy.

In order to be safe, there must be a bandit on Chen Feng's territory, but there are no too strong bandits in Xinghe County, it turns out that there is one on Daqingshan, but it was secretly destroyed by Chen Feng half a year ago, but this matter is only known to the Chen family father and son, and others are not clear.

Therefore, Chen Feng put his mind on Daqing Mountain, isn't there no bandits, then I will give the whole bandit out, and I will also have the whole gang come out.

In the backyard of the Chen family, hundreds of men in black suits stood upright. Seeing Chen Feng walk in, a young man in his twenties trotted over, saluted Chen Feng and said loudly: "Report to the chief, the special brigade has been assembled, there should be 455 people, but there are 455 people, please instruct!" ”

Although there are only more than 400 people, in terms of combat effectiveness, Chen Feng believes that none of the more than a dozen units in the surrounding counties and cities of Xinghe County is the opponent of these more than 400 people.

These more than 400 people were trained by Chen Feng under the pretext of training the Chen family's grain protection team, and the training method completely complied with the training methods of the special forces of later generations, and Chen Feng selected them from the Chen family's more than 2,000 grain protection team members, and the elimination rate reached more than 75 percent, which was the first trump card that Chen Feng relied on to survive in this troubled era.

However, because the training time is still short, it is only the prototype of a special combat team, and it is not a real special combat team. In addition, this unit has not really been on the battlefield, and no one knows what the real combat effectiveness is.

"Take a break!"

"Stand upright!"

"Brothers, yesterday the province issued an official document, officially appointing Young Master Ben as the head of the Xinghe County Security Regiment and the commander of the city defense, now it is our brother's turn to show his skills, now listen to my orders, except for the first squadron, the others of the special combat team will immediately go to the Daqingshan base under the leadership of Xu Hu, and erect a banner for Tianxingdao there to develop openly, and I will send weapons and soldiers to you in the next few days." Chen Feng said loudly.

"Yes!"

The next morning, Chen Feng came to the barracks with more than 100 special combat personnel, and after a night's rest, these victims finally looked like some of them, and they were no longer as dying as yesterday, but everyone's complexion was still very poor, and their physical fitness was not good or bad.

With the addition of Zhou Tiedan's platoon, the entire security regiment has a total of 922 people, Chen Feng reorganized everyone into two 360-person infantry battalions, a 120-person guard company and an 80-person cavalry company, as for the more than 100 special combat personnel he brought, except for a 38-person special operations team, the others were sent to the newly established security regiment as officers.

Soon, a list of officers of the security regiment was sent by Chen Feng to the provincial security department for the record, and in addition to Chen Feng, the regiment commander and security commander, there were also regimental deputy Li Wensheng, chief of staff Yang Yi, first battalion commander Li Bin, second battalion commander Hu Tiesheng and others.

The troops have been reorganized, but the combat effectiveness of the entire army is negligible, because the entire force is almost entirely composed of disaster victims, who are basically on the verge of collapse after several months of fleeing, and their physical fitness is extremely poor. The other is that the fighting spirit is very low, or there is no fighting spirit at all.

It will take a while to solve these problems, considering that these people were still victims of the disaster yesterday, so Chen Feng did not dare to let these people let go of their stomachs to eat, if people are hungry for a long time, they are likely to eat support, so this recovery body can not be in a hurry.

This physical conditioning is not good, and training is naturally delayed. Therefore, Chen Feng did not rush to train after completing the appointment of the troops, but issued two sets of newly made military uniforms to each soldier, and asked them to immediately return to the barracks to take a hot bath, and then assemble at the university field.

This military uniform was customized by Chen Feng according to the camouflage training uniforms of the later troops, and it was very strange in the eyes of this era. But this era is a strange era, and the security regiments in various places are not regular troops in the first place, so there is no unified uniform.

Xinghe is a poor place, so the security regiment here does not have a uniform uniform, the original security regiment wears black coarse cloth clothes, and only the officers are issued a set of clothes worn by local police. It's already good to have a unified uniform, and the regiment is still two sets at a time, who hasn't had trouble finding something to pick out the style of clothes.

It's different when you change into a unified uniform, at least this momentum looks different. Chen Feng ordered the troops to immediately go to the streets to continue recruiting, this time not only to recruit those bachelors who have nothing to worry about, but also to recruit those who have families and mouths, and women to recruit, whether it is a yellow flower girl or a half-old, with Chen Feng's order, the entire security regiment quickly moved.
