Chapter 3: Rebuilding the Security Corps

Even if there is no system for this mandatory task, this security regiment Chen Feng must be rebuilt. After all, if you want to mix up in Xinghe, you can't just rely on a letter of appointment from the province, everyone is afraid of those soldiers with loaded guns, not a bare-bones commander with an empty letter of appointment.

After the letter of appointment was in hand, the first thing Chen Feng had to do was to gather the broken group. In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Feng saw his soldiers in the large school field of the former security regiment.

Looking at the more than thirty guys in front of him who looked like Hanako more than soldiers, Chen Feng frowned. Not long ago, the battle was a complete defeat of the Xinghe County Security Corps, less than 100 people from more than 600 regiments fled back, and the 100 or so people who escaped back have also been knocked out of their souls, after Chen Feng issued a summoning order, only more than 30 homeless regiments returned to the security regiment, and the rest of the regiments were nowhere to be found.

"Do you have any officers among you, stand up and show the commander?" Chen Feng said with a frown.

After a while, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man finally stood up and said: "Report to the commander, Russia is the squad leader of the second company of the first battalion, the second platoon, and the third squad, and the Russian regiment commander, battalion commander, company commander, and platoon commander are all dead, and Russia is now the biggest officer here." ”

To be precise, this squad leader is not an officer, and he can barely be regarded as a non-commissioned officer. But now Chen Feng has something to ask him, so he doesn't care about this.

"Why is it just a few of you, where are the others?"

"Report to the commander, there are more than 90 Russians who have fled back, but they are all scared, and they would rather go home to farm than eat military rations, so a few Russians came." Zhou Tiedan replied.

"Then a few of you are not afraid, maybe the next time you go to the battlefield and die, a few of you will die?" Chen Feng continued to ask.

"Why don't you be afraid, those horse bandits are too powerful, the tall horse they are riding, hula and rush over, the formation that the Russians Li Tuan has arranged in advance is like the ball of papier-mâché, and it will be collapsed at once, the guns in the hands of the brothers are not as powerful as the sabers in the hands of the horse bandits, and they will be killed and dispersed after a while, and a few of the Russians will stand behind the most powerful of the troops, and they will escape quickly when they see the opportunity, otherwise they will now become dead people on the Yellowstone Cliff." Zhou Tie Dan said with palpitations.

Although Zhou Tiedan frowned when he heard the local dialect of Saibei, he still generally knew what happened at that time, that Li Tuan was also a pig's brain, and the cavalry actually set up a position to fight in the field, and the mother could think that in the absence of automatic firepower to effectively suppress the powerful impact of the cavalry, the security regiment was no different from sending them to death, and the whole few hundred people were over.

"Where's your gun?" Seeing that none of these guys had a gun in their hands, Chen Feng asked with a strong anger.

"Commander, who dared to hold a gun at that time, those horse bandits killed those who had guns, and the brothers threw their guns away in order to flee for their lives." Zhou Tiedan continued to answer.

"Waste, you have a gun in your hand, not a burning stick, why were you killed by a few bandits, it's a fucking shame." Chen Feng couldn't help but scold.

"Oh, commander, you don't know what to do, it's not a few bandits, but thousands of dense horse bandits, overwhelmingly rushing over, no matter how many people can't resist, and the guy we have in our hands is not as good as a burning stick, most of the rifling of the guns are smoothed, each gun is less than ten bullets, the brothers have done their best." Zhou Tiedan said.

"Fart, thousands of people are densely packed all over the world, if there were really so many horse bandits, they would have taken Xinghe County a long time ago, and they still need to fight a field battle with Li Tuanzong?" Chen Feng said angrily.

"Commander, Russia didn't coax you, there are really a lot of horse bandits, not to mention thousands of people, everyone has horses, and there are many Mongolians in it, which of their scimitars is powerful, the heads of the brothers have been cut off one by one, and the Russian Li Tuan has always been cut off by a female horse bandit. By the way, when the Russians fled, they heard the female horse bandit shouting to fight Xinghe! Zhou Tiedan continued.

"Are those horse bandits really shouting that they want to take down Xinghe County?"

"Commander, Russia didn't lie to you, if you don't believe it, just ask a few of them." Zhou Tiedan hurriedly said.

Chen Feng didn't worry that these remnants of the army would deceive him, because there was no need for that, but he didn't believe that there were thousands of horse bandits that Zhou Tiedan said, this was completely impossible, if there was really such a big horse gang Fu Zuoyi and Yan Laoxi in the northern part of the country, how could they be so leisurely, and the destructive power of thousands of cavalry should not be underestimated.

In terms of the number of cavalry, it does not take much to form a cavalry brigade of 3,000 people. In terms of combat effectiveness, a well-trained cavalry brigade outweighs two well-equipped infantry regiments. As far as Mu Chenglin knows, except for the troops of the provincial capital Guisui and Baotou, where there is an infantry division stationed in the provincial capital, the rest of the province is controlled by the security regiment.

Moreover, cavalry operations generally take group charges, without too many people, five or six hundred cavalry look mighty, plus the powerful momentum that comes directly when the cavalry charges does have a terrifying feeling, so it is still very possible for Zhou Tiedan and others to mistake them for thousands of troops.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, now your gang is organized into an infantry platoon, Zhou Tiedan is the platoon leader, and Zhou Tiedan, the squad leader of each squad, you can arrange it yourself, and hurry up to change into clean clothes, go to our old Chen's house to get a gun for each person, and recruit people for the commander on the street, the more the better." Chen Feng ordered loudly.

"Yes!"

Although Zhou Tiedan and his fellows were sloppy when they were fighting, their efficiency was still very fast, and when it was dark, they recruited nearly 2,000 people, which really surprised Chen Feng.

"Zhou Tiedan, you give an honest explanation to Commander Ben, where did you recruit so many people? If you are a native of your hometown, don't go door-to-door to arrest people for your commander, because your commander can't afford to lose that person. Chen Feng said loudly.

"Report to the commander, how dare you, these people are all victims from the south, they have no food or drink in the city, and they are rushing to come when they hear that someone is recruiting, and they can't stop them. As soon as Russia thought that the commander wanted soldiers, he kicked out those who had families. These are all without families, a total of 1,882 people, if it is not enough, Russia will recruit again tomorrow. Zhou Tiedan said proudly.

After Zhou Tiedan said this, Chen Feng suddenly remembered that his father Chen Binggong said yesterday that since North China had actually been controlled by the Japanese army after the North China Incident, a large number of victims poured into Suiyuan and other provinces close to Shanxi. Xinghe County is one of the counties closest to the disaster area, so a large number of victims pour into Xinghe County every day.

There are more people in the disaster, and the law and order seems to be chaotic, and the security team in Xinghe County was broken up some time ago, so the unrestrained victims are even more lawless under the persecution of hunger, and several grain stores in the city have been looted, including their Chen family's shop.

"Well, Zhou Tiedan, you kid did a good job. However, your kid has received a lot of people, and there is only one regiment in the province that gives the commander the number of the commander, with a maximum of 800 people. Now leave 800 people and reorganize them into two battalions, and the rest will go with the commander. Chen Feng ordered loudly.

"Commander, just take us, we haven't eaten for two days!" A middle-aged man said pleadingly.

"Yes, Commander, I beg you, you can accept us, we don't want military salaries, as long as we have enough to eat!"

"Commander, you can take us in and I will kowtow to you!"

Looking at the large group of people kneeling on the ground, Chen Feng's eyes moistened, the people of this era are too bitter, when there is no war, they are exploited by warlords of all sizes, and when the war comes, they are displaced and don't even have a mouthful of life-saving food.

"Everyone, get up, let you go with this commander is not because I don't want you, but because there are not so many people in the barracks. This commander is the eldest young master of the Chen family's grain store, our Chen family needs a large number of food protection teams, although they are not soldiers, but they can still eat food, as long as you follow this commander with peace of mind, this commander guarantees that if I have a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat. Chen Feng said loudly.

"Xie Lu Xie Commander, I Li Daniu, this hundred and ten catties will be handed over to the commander from now on!"

"Commander Xie Lu"

Chen Feng, who had more than 1,000 people, did bring them back to Chen's house, and they were soon incorporated into the food protection team.

At night, the Chen family's study was still lit, and the Chen family's father and son were still sitting across the table.

Father Chen closed the account book in his hand, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Feng'er, how are the recruits?" ”

"Almost, more than 1,800 people have been recruited today, all of them are young and strong laborers, and most of these people are victims who have fled from the south." Chen Feng replied.

"That's good, it's not easy for these people, it's even more difficult to escape here alive, let's recruit more if you can, even if you can find a way for them to live, and also accumulate some yin virtue for our ancestors and ancestors of the Chen family." Chen's father said.

"Well, the boy got it. Dad, how's the situation on the other side of the mountain? Chen Feng asked.

"It's been done, where are you really going to station troops, if someone knows about it, it will be a head-off thing." Chen Binggong asked worriedly.

"It's okay, Daqingshan has been a road since ancient times, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a good place to train soldiers. In addition, our Chen family has a big business, how can we not reserve a back road. Besides, I am now the city defense commander of Xinghe County, if the jurisdiction has always been safe and sound, how can I ask Chairman Fu for money, guns, and numbers. Chen Feng explained.

"What Feng'er said makes sense, but this matter must be kept secret."

"Don't worry, Dad. We just need to take advantage of this time when others are not paying attention, and send money, food, weapons, ammunition and soldiers to Daqingshan, and we don't need to take care of the rest of the matter, Xu Hu will take care of it. Chen Feng said.

"Well, Feng'er, you've grown up, you can do these things yourself!" Then the Chen family father and son ended the conversation.
