Chapter 546: Recruit Recruitment
Di Baiying's vigilance in the direction of Pingyang reached its highest level in the first few days, and he gathered a total of 80,000 troops in the northeast, and all the more than 300 cavalry he brought from the grassland province were scattered.
However, the news came back that the wind was calm, and except for the northeast along the highway to chase the troops who escaped from the Northeast and fled to Binh Duong, they did not meet the army of Binh Duong.
That is, Binh Duong's army, shrinking?
Whether it is the people in the city or the chief officer of the Northeast who has taken refuge, don't they say that Pingyang's style is tough and he never suffers?
Could it be a bluff? But that's impossible, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northeast were indeed wiped out by Pingyang.
There are trains in Pingyang, if you really want to launch an offensive against them, then you should have started it now, even if you transfer troops, the forward should arrive at this time, at least the hundreds of cavalry that once appeared under the northeast city should also appear.
But until October 10, they did not see a single soldier from Pingyang.
Is it a bluff?
Di Jiajun became suspicious, and began to send intelligence personnel to Liaozhong, let's talk about gathering momentum, if Pingyang really has loopholes to drill, maybe before the winter comes, it can earn greater benefits.
It can only be said that Di Baiying was lucky, the day he launched a surprise attack on Dongbie, it happened to be October 1, the triumphal day of Pingyang, a three-day holiday in a row, Li Yang for his own face, the majesty of his words, stubbornly did not assemble the army during this time, the assembly of the army takes time, the preparation of ammunition, the recruitment of the people, even Liaozhong, which has always been operating efficiently, also needs time, and most importantly, the strategy of Liaozhong now is to wait for the simultaneous launch with the navy that has already set off, To give the Navy time to bypass the Tsushima Strait, isn't it?
Therefore, Di Jiajun was given a short respite for a while.
But the days have to pass day by day, the whole city recruits food, so that Di Baiying quickly got enough food for him to squander, he began to recruit new troops, this is the practice of the Di family's army, has always maintained the highest ceiling of the army, how many soldiers can be fed, how many people are recruited, the army only cares about food and clothing, does not pay food, mainly relies on a belief, an ideal cohesion.
But they have always lost the hearts of the people in the Northeast this time, and whether it is beliefs and ideals, these Binh Duong emphasizes better and grander, how can they recruit the army.
Di Baiying originally expected to recruit 100,000 new troops, and then attack the zombies for a baptism, so that at least more than 60,000 soldiers who dared to fight could be saved, but they set up a pole to recruit troops, but only recruited more than 10,000 soldiers.
Staying is just empty food.
Xu Jiao and Di Baiying knew that this time the grain grabbing made them lose their hearts, and they originally grabbed half of the grain, so that even if they had grievances, they would not let these people fight to the death, but when the Di family army executed, they robbed everything they could, and the people were not resentful of them at all, but resentment.
But what can Di Baiying do? After all, he relied on the army that had fought with him until now, not these ordinary people who only knew how to eat dry food.
In the end, it was Murong Jia Xintong Guò Hu Baoxuan who gave Di Baiying an idea, that is, since he had robbed everything, he would simply be thorough, post a notice, and say who joined the army, and the rest of the people would be given half of the rations, so that in order to have enough to eat, people would have to join the army.
It's a good idea, and it's a bit vicious, but it's the only way to do it in order to be ready to deal with enemies from all sides.
The results were immediate, and within two days of the proclamation being posted, 100,000 troops were recruited, 70,000 men and 30,000 women, all of whom were in the prime of life between the ages of 18 and 40.
Now that the recruitment is in place, let's train.
However, it was a bit far-fetched to rearm 100,000 people with weapons, so one battalion was equipped with assault rifles, three percent with earthen guns, and the remaining fifty percent with knives, guns, clubs, and shields.
Among these recruits, the positions above the squad leader are basically held by people from the old base battalion of the Di family's army.
The establishment of the Di family army was very simple, ten people for a squad, fifty people for a small team, one hundred people for a squadron, five hundred people for a large team, and one thousand people for a battalion.
Although there are regiments, brigades, divisions, and even corps at and above the battalion commander, they are all temporary formations in wartime, and what one person can really control in peacetime is his own battalion head.
Therefore, although each battalion has a number, what is the 101st battalion, the 127th battalion and so on, but more like to put up a flag and privatize the battalion.
Chen Ziying, Yuezi Ying, Li Pingying and the like.
Therefore, the recruitment of 100,000 people this time means that a full hundred new battalion leaders have been established, although they are all new recruits, but these former brigades and even squadron leaders who have taken office are all excited.
At the end of the first day of training after the army was recruited, it was more about the sparring of cold weapons and the initial use of guns.
The soldiers each held a bowl and a soup mixed with mixed white noodles and shabu-shabu water mixed with something unknown.
And those commanders of the Di family's army, they are all the foundation of the old Di family's army, and they participated in the grain grabbing movement, and now they have hundreds of catties of grain in their waists? They all eat small stoves around the cook.
In their opinion, these recruits are not worthy of their deep friendship, and when they survive a battle with zombies, or even survive a battle with the people of Pingyang as Di Jiajun, they are worthy of their deep friendship, that is their Di Jiajun's people, and now, they can only be a group of interns.
This phenomenon is the same as the whole Di family army, and they treat the recruits with this attitude, and these recruits bite the steamed buns one by one and look at those commanders, with a look of anger and even hatred.
"If it weren't for eating, in order to survive in this world, whoever joins this **** Di Jiajun is this!" A twenty-six-seven-year-old man made an angry gesture to climb down.
A younger bite on the side bit the steamed bun in his mouth and said, "This is a steamed bun mixed with acorn noodles!" These damn bastards, Lao Tzu's house was robbed of more than 80 catties of grain, and a bottle of good wine, and now Lao Tzu is still here to give them his life and eat this terrible thing! ”
Such topics are everywhere, as long as they talk about their resentment against Di Jiajun, they can tell countless jokes, and a man in his early thirties said as a matter of course: "If the army in Liaozhong fights, Lao Tzu will immediately turn back!" ”
The man in his early thirties quickly pointed to the squad leaders gathered together and said, "Just these miscellaneous pieces, once the war starts, Lao Tzu will kill them all!" You can go and tell the truth, and I dare to say this to their faces! ”
"I don't have to say, Brother Song, who is going to tell the truth? If you look around, it's all this mind, what kind of people in Liaozhong treat us, what are these miscellaneous things! Don't worry, if there is a day, I will definitely help you! A young man took a look around and said.
"Yes, let me do it when the time comes! Look at the 258,000 that drags, the god horse thing! ”
The more he talked, the more intense he became, and when he saw those squad leaders, squad leaders or something looking over, a person in his forties in this place immediately shouted: "Shut up!" ”
Everyone found out that those Di Jiajun's old backgrounds looked over, so they all lowered their heads and didn't speak, and the forty-year-old elder said in a low voice to instruct the juniors: "Say less, do more!" This day is coming sooner or later, before coming, I want to live, don't give my life because of a stinky mouth! ”
Such a topic appeared in countless recruit camps, and an undercurrent surged, although there were also some people who made such topics were informed, and then hung on pillars for execution, or whipping, or beaten boards, and even a few people were killed, but the people of Di Jiajun did not know that the seeds of hatred were planted, and this method of countering violence with violence would only deepen hatred.
And those whistleblowers, even if they follow the squad leader or squad leader day and night, are stared at with all kinds of hatred.
During the Anti-Japanese War, traitors were more hateful than Japanese devils.
These people are like that.
But they are facing a group of people who are even more unable to live and are more afraid of death, and after they receive such treatment, they are afraid day and night, and some people have even been scared to death.
When the time came to October 15, when Di Baiying thought that his rule in the Northeast had reached a stable level, the news that he had been afraid finally came.
It turned out that when he occupied the Northeast Headquarters, it was the day when Pingyang held a triumphal ceremony, and the whole army was on vacation for three days, so even if there was a train, it was impossible to respond to them at the first time, but after the end of the triumphant day, after the army was reorganized, Pingyang had begun to assemble a large army at a distance of 70 kilometers from Pingyang to the northeast general direction, and the supplies went back and forth every day, as long as the supplies were prepared, they would launch an offensive.
Along with this news came news from the cavalry who had been scattered!
The cavalry of Pingyang has already begun to sweep away the cavalry of their reconnaissance!
They didn't come from any other direction, they came from the northeast, they went all the way to the west, and their army armed with their huge supplies had already marched to the northeast!
Di Baiying knew that this battle was imminent.
He now has a full 160,000 field troops, and he believes that those 100,000 recruits, as long as they go through the baptism of the first array, even if there are 40,000 left, he will be enough to deal with Pingyang! R1148
