Li Jing used the excuse that 'the world is not peaceful, and there are many cottage affairs, so he has to rush back', and he has to leave after dinner.

Although Li Jing's excuse was known to everyone to be, and Zhang Qingshan had to pretend to keep it, seeing that Li Jing insisted, he pushed the boat to say goodbye.

When Zhang Qingshan took a few people to personally send Li Jing to the foot of the mountain and separated, Zhang Qingshan took out the Browning and handed it to him along with the two magazines.

Li Jing really had never seen such a delicate pistol, and in his excitement, he accidentally revealed a little of his nature: he didn't even say polite words, while excitedly saying thank you, he took the robbery, and loaded Browning with a magazine on the spot without saying anything polite...... Of course, he knew that doing such a thing as loading a magazine in front of others was not only extremely rude, but also faintly threatening the other party. However, he didn't forget about it for a moment of excitement.

Of course, he wouldn't know that at the beginning of his action of loading the magazine, Comrade Xiang Tao, the guard behind Zhang Qingshan, and the comrades of the guard squad were taken aback, Xiang Tao's right hand secretly touched the box cannon on his waist, and even the safety was opened, and he was secretly ready to push Zhang Qingshan away at any time.

Fortunately, no matter how excited Li Jing was, at most he just turned around and aimed his gun elsewhere...... If he dared to aim his gun at Zhang Qingshan, then, regardless of whether he fired or not, it was guaranteed that the two sides would immediately fight - in that case, the threat would be very obvious.

However, Zhang Qingshan was not worried about his life at all, because in his opinion, Li Jing had no motive to threaten him at all, let alone kill him: he had no grudges with him in the past and no enmity in the near future, and he had just arrived, I am afraid that those enemies who want to spend money to buy their lives will not know that the assault regiment has entered their stomachs. Besides, everyone is still in the honeymoon period of cooperation, even if the Kuomintang is gone, but the little devil, who is more ruthless, is also the next common goal, isn't it coming, at this time, unless he is a sudden neuropath, otherwise, it is impossible to kill himself.

Then, Zhang Qingshan talked about the origin of this gun with a smile, and specially reminded or hoped that Li Jing would remember the origin of this gun when he saw it. To put it bluntly, it is a very euphemistic warning and expectation.

At this time, Li Jing was probably completely in love with Browning, nodding vigorously, but people knew at a glance that he didn't listen to it at all.

After sending Li Jing away, Zhang Qingshan immediately convened a meeting of cadres at and above the company level of the assault regiment.

The meeting lasted from the evening until more than 11 o'clock in the evening, and the main purpose was to discuss specific matters.

At the meeting, it was mainly determined that Zhang Qingshan had discussed with Hu Yingze before, that is, when the little devil had not heard of it and the people of Sanqiao County were panicking, he would take advantage of this good opportunity to carry out the next step of the assault regiment in advance: recruiting troops, hyping up patriotic education, and so on.

At the same time, the meeting unanimously approved the confirmation of the commander of the fourth battalion of Luo Yingjie's assault regiment and the appointment of the commander of the county guerrilla brigade of Li Hua's Sanqiao County.

In addition, the previous job responsibilities have also been slightly changed: Hu Yingze is mainly responsible for publicizing the patriotism of the Anti-Japanese War and recruiting troops, and is regarded as the commander-in-chief, Li Hua and Luo Yingjie are both deputy commanders-in-chief and actual executors. However, because Luo Yingjie has a wide range of contacts in the local area, he has friends in all three sects and nine streams, and it is very easy to inquire about intelligence, so he was specially appointed as the director of the intelligence department, and his subordinates are all selected from the guerrillas, and he is also given a certain amount of freedom, and he can show his outside lines in some places, such as in the traitor team, and so on. Zhang Qingshan was in charge of training, and Tian Guozhong was in charge of continuing to strengthen the fortifications in and around Qinglong Mountain......

At the meeting, it was also specifically proposed that in addition to Xiao Wang, the squad leader, and Xiang Xueqin, who was pregnant, be directly stationed in Qinglong Mountain, the other eight nurses should take turns to leave one, and the remaining seven nurses plus five people from the 20 political work cadres sent from above would be selected to form a propaganda team. In the future, a group of capable women will be selected from among those women in various townships and towns who yearn for revolution, have courage, and are eloquent, and join the propaganda team to cooperate with the propaganda against Japan (that is, the Women's Rescue Association, which will be known to everyone in the future, guiding the women of various towns and villages to stand up and selflessly support the Eighth Route Army and various anti-Japanese armed forces in order to fight devils)......

The next day, everyone worked separately according to the discussion at the meeting: although Zhang Qingshan had no training object for the time being, he had to take people to make training equipment, and at the same time had to cooperate with Tian Guozhong to dig the two caves used to store food, weapons and ammunition - Tian Guozhong led people to build fortifications, but there were few people and time was tight, so he was really a little too busy. Hu Yingze, accompanied by Luo Yingjie and Li Hua, went down the mountain early the next morning with a company (because it was just a shelf, in fact, there was only one platoon of troops, counting some guerrillas who followed, a total of fifty or sixty people), and the first stop was to go to Luojiazhai to visit Luo Erye, and then he had to go around several surrounding towns and towns. The main purpose is naturally to recruit troops, but the first batch of recruited soldiers first considered the large number of guerrillas who were disbanded by Luo Yingjie because they wanted to fight guerrillas, and hid in various villages and villages to secretly continue the revolution - these people, basically even if they have never shot a gun, but they have also seen the battlefield, felt the baptism of bullets and bullets when they fought with Lao Jiang, and have a certain amount of battlefield experience, at least they will not be afraid of gunfire, especially the explosion of shells. Moreover, their political and ideological reliability is better, and their organizational discipline is stronger than that of ordinary people, and as the team of the assault regiment, both experience and reliability are absolutely suitable.

This first batch of recruitment work has achieved remarkable results and outstanding degrees.

From the afternoon of the next day, there were eight young men from the nearest village in Qinglong Mountain, which made Zhang Qingshan very happy. Because these eight young men live in the mountains, not only do they all have certain marksmanship, but they are also very familiar with the situation in the mountains, which is not much different from the hunters in Qinglong Village...... What made Zhang Qingshan even happier was that he thought of selecting the best twenty people from the hunters of Qinglong Village and the recruits who joined later 6 times, or those who were adapted to the mountains and forests, to form a special mountain and forest combat team, with the little camel as the captain, to train specifically for the mountains and forests. To put it bluntly, it is a special force that is good at fighting in the mountains and forests. And this, also thanks to the effect brought by the assault company, made Zhang Qingshan instinctively like this kind of special forces. Therefore, as long as he sees good talents in any field, he loves to organize a special forces force of an expert nature. So much so that later, in Zhang Qingshan's assault regiment, there were three or four special forces that were good at a certain aspect and specialized in carrying out operations in this area.

Immediately, batch after batch of recruits arrived from various villages and villages66. On the largest day, there were even seven teams, and the number of joiners reached 123 on that day...... In fact, only a small half of these people were former guerrillas. Because half of the guerrillas shown by Luo Yingjie are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, they are no longer suitable to serve as soldiers in the assault regiment, not to mention anything else, that is, the amount of training in the assault regiment is destined to be borne only by young and strong young men. However, after they were secretly sent home, they still actively propagated the revolution in their own villages, and moved everyone to stand up and fight with Lao Chiang, although they were detected by Lao Chiang's people and lost some people, most of them were preserved, and they secretly organized a group of young people in their own villages, ready to jump out and do the revolution together at any time when they received orders. To put it bluntly, this is the manifestation of the spark that can start a prairie fire.

Now, cheaper assault regiments have picked up this ripe fruit. No, under the personal leadership of Luo Yingjie and Li Hua, the original guerrillas lurking in various villages and the new members they showed immediately came to join the assault regiment with enthusiasm, and only in less than ten days did the assault regiment have five or six hundred more recruits.

What is even more touching is that these people came to participate in the anti-Japanese team, and everyone more or less brought some food, salt and other things, and some of them were made up by several families and sent them together, and Zhang Qingshan was very moved to see it: This is the people, simple and sincere. You are good to the people, the people can dig out their hearts and lungs for you, you are bad to the people, the people hate to eat your flesh and drink your blood, who is good and who is bad, the eyes of the masses are bright. Of course, at present, we can get such enthusiastic support from the people, and we have to thank Luo Yingjie for the efforts of these guerrillas over the years, without them, the people don't know the assault regiment at all, they don't know **, how can they support it?

(There are two things that must be stated here.) One is: the two parties are mortal enemies, and in other places, once Lao Jiang's government is present, it will inevitably chase after him, but this is not the case in Sanqiao County and its surrounding areas. I don't know if it's because Sanqiao County has long been in a turbulent environment, or because the local government has insufficient troops, anyway, the county government basically doesn't care much about anything other than the annual harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and is in a laissez-faire state, so there is the bottom line that the force that cannot exceed 300 people mentioned earlier. So, as long as you don't publicize it, they're basically turning a blind eye. Of course, for the sake of their own safety, they have a firm view of both the county and its suburbs. The second is: At this time, although the Japanese devils occupied the county seat of Mihashi County without a single shot, in addition to urgently grabbing a batch of urgently needed materials in the county seat, after only a few days of repairs, they couldn't wait to go to the front line of the battle. There is no time to harm the people at all, and the local people themselves are in dire straits, and their enthusiasm for patriotism is naturally not as enthusiastic as later, so at this time, to be honest, the people did not want to be as active in fighting devils as they were later familiar with before they had seen the scourge of the little devils and not treating us Chinese as people. And that's what comes next. ）

However, ten days later, the number of people who came to sign up for the assault regiment suddenly decreased significantly.

By the thirteenth day, no one had come.

At first, Zhang Qingshan didn't care, after all, there are now more than 900 people in the assault regiment: there are more than 600 recruits who have joined the assault regiment, plus the 200 people in the previous assault regiment, and the dozens of people in the original guerrillas, there are already more than 900 people. As far as the current terrain of Qinglong Mountain is concerned, it can only accommodate so many people to train at most, and if there are more, they can only find another place to open up a training ground...... To tell the truth, in order to train everyone to the greatest extent, Zhang Qingshan had to arrange one or two companies to find a place to train in the surrounding areas every day, but if it was really not possible, he arranged for a certain number of people to go to the field to practice, or directly to repair houses and fortifications.

However, there are advantages to having more people, for example, the speed of the fortifications. On the twelfth day, it was almost finished.

On the sixteenth day, that is, half a month after going out, Hu Yingze came back......
