Chapter 87 Wild Boar Mouth
Hu Changgui listened to Yuan Yu's arrangement in the command center and heard him say that the puppet troops were in regular troops before, some were disbanded, and some surrendered with their commanders. Now he is here. If the work is done well, the soldiers will be veterans.√∟
"Well, this job is left to you. If those soldiers can truly follow us, then they can improve the combat effectiveness of our troops." Hu Changgui nodded when he heard this.
"Well, I have to say that Xiaobin is still very powerful. Today, the battalion commander of the first battalion sent a telegram to thank our third battalion. If it weren't for Hu Bin, the troops he sent would probably be able to support it, which would be a big deal! So it was right for us to send Xiaobin out this time!" Yuan Yu said immediately.
"Ha!" Hu Changgui laughed and said nothing more. His son was praised by everyone so much, and he was still happy.
The next morning, Hu Bin officially started recruiting soldiers in Lujiagou. In the morning, most of them were from Lujiagou. Hu Bin recruited 200 people in Lujiagou and handed them over to the uninjured soldiers for training.
In the afternoon, people came from nearby villages, and there were many. They heard that the Eighth Route Army in Lujiagou were recruiting soldiers, and they all came here to ask for joining the army, especially those who were burned by the Japanese, who even asked to join the army and fight the Japanese.
Hu Bin and the others couldn't refuse. The people just wanted to join the army. There was no way. Hu Bin directly agreed to join the army based on their conditions. In this way, Hu Bin recruited more than 300 people throughout the afternoon.
"No, this doesn't work. How can we train so many veterans in the world? Are you kidding? One veteran trained 10 new recruits. They were so tired that they couldn't train well. No, those soldiers must be assigned to the old troops!" Hu Bin saw Ye Xianteng coming with the list. When he saw that he recruited more than 500 people in the whole day, he immediately shook his head and disagreed. Too many.
"But, I said not to have that much. Those people just want to join the army and refuse, this is still the first day. I guess more people will come here in the next few days. I know it is not possible, but I have no choice but to say it, why don't you?
Those people now know that the Japanese are not good things, and they snatch them when they see them, so they also want to take weapons to deal with the Japanese. How can I refuse this request?" Ye Xianteng also looked at Hu Bin in embarrassment and said.
"But, we don't have so many veterans to train them. You have to figure it out!" Hu Bin touched his head and said to him.
"Or, maybe we send a telegram to the battalion department and ask them to send us some veterans over, so it's okay to borrow it. Anyway, there is no war on their side now, so it should be okay to call some veterans to train new recruits for us!" Ye Xianteng thought for a while and said to Hu Bin.
Hu Bin heard this, nodded, and then said, "It's all that's the case. Alas, I don't want to recruit so many soldiers. Think about it, is it true for a single person five or six hundred people?" Hu Bin said there, and then asked the telegrapher to send a telegram to the battalion commander, asking for 100 veterans, and tell him about the recruitment situation today.
Wang Cong was worried after seeing the telegram. He just gave Hu Bin 200 veterans. Now he wants veterans, so other companies won’t do it. You know, veterans are guaranteed to fight.
Wang Cong didn't know how to answer Hu Bin, so he could only send the telegram to Li Tianxing. When Li Tianxing saw it, he thought about it and asked Wang Cong to send 100 veterans to Hu Bin. If there was really no, even if he had been in the army for half a year. When Wang Cong saw this telegram, he could only summon the company commanders and ask them to draw veterans out again.
The next day, the veterans rushed to Hu Bin's side, and in Lujiagou, as Ye Xianteng guessed, more young people were coming to join the army.
That morning, Hu Bin went there in person. In order to make those people feel at ease, Hu Bin directly set the conditions. He ran 10,000 meters, and within 1 minute, he climbed 5 walls and crossed them. If he crossed, Hu Bin wanted to.
As a result, Hu Bin underestimated the abilities of those young people. They originally worked every day, and most of them persisted for 10,000 meters, and it goes without saying that they climbed over the wall. Although their posture was wrong, they had the strength in their hands and could pass as soon as they could.
Hu Bin stood there and was stunned. When they recruited soldiers, most of the young people could not meet this condition, but now, those people are actually very relaxed. Hu Bin had no choice but to ask for them all.
As a result, another 300 people were recruited on this day, and Hu Bin spoke out and refused to recruit soldiers for the time being. He asked the young people to wait for the next time. Many of the people who had just arrived had to regret to go back. When he left, he asked when the next time was, Hu Bin could only push it to the New Year, but he actually didn't know it himself.
On the third day, Hu Bin began to order the veterans to train with the recruits. Even Li Qinwei and the others had to train with the recruits in a squad, while Hu Bin took Xiang Feng and Xiang Lei to investigate according to the map.
According to the map, Hu Bin knew that there were many mountains more than 60 miles away from the county town and they could not be opened to traffic at all. Last time the Japanese came, they used pack horses to transport the supplies, so Hu Bin had to go there to see if the troops could be stationed there.
Their troops cannot live in Lujiagou all the time, as this will cause a lot of trouble to Lujiagou. Moreover, there are so many young people, and they are mixed with those in Lujiagou every day. I guess that at that time, the girls in Lujiagou will become family members. This is a troublesome thing. Hu Bin must pull the troops out and cannot be in the village.
On the fourth day, Hu Bin took Xiang Feng and others to the bottom of the mountains above the map, and then Hu Bin took them over the mountains and walked towards the highest mountain. After climbing for a day, Hu Bin and others reached the top of the mountain.
"What a good place!" Hu Bin climbed a big tree on the top of the mountain. Looking around, he couldn't see where the outer edge of the mountain was!
"Brother Bin, according to my experience, it is estimated that it will take at least 2 days to walk from here to the other side of the mountain and go west, and there is no head at all. It is estimated that it will take 2 to 3 days to walk east. This is still a road. If there is no road, it will not be able to get out for five or six days.
When I was a child, I heard from my father that there are many preys in this place, but they are also very dangerous. There are tigers, big bears, wild boars, and leopards in the mountains. Moreover, the mountain is too deep and it is difficult for anyone to discover it when encountering danger. Before, my father met many hunters here, but they didn't dare to go inside at all, saying it was too dangerous!" Xiang Feng said to Hu Bin.
"Yeah, it's dangerous, and there are few people on the road. Can all kinds of wild animals not be dangerous?" Hu Bin stood on the tree and looked into the distance and said.
"Brother Bin, we really have to come here. If we come here, the Japanese in the county will not be afraid of us!" Xiang Feng asked when he saw Hu Bin.
"Hehe, the Japanese in the county are now unable to protect themselves, so aren't you afraid of us? Think about it, if we keep here and our regiment guards the east, it will be difficult for the Japanese to reinforce. Unless a brigade is dispatched, there is no way. Our troops are not the opponent of the Japanese brigade.
But when a corps comes over, we are sure to block them in the mountain. In other words, the Japanese in the county have no outside support and can only wait for death. If we lock here, they will not be far from death. Perhaps, our Eighth Route Army can completely control Liuye County!" Hu Bin said while standing on the tree, and then he slid down.
Xiang Feng and Xiang Lei saw Hu Bin down and slid down.
"Let's go and explore the road. We must understand the terrain here. If we make good use of such a good place, we can hide more than 10,000 soldiers and kill the ghosts!" Hu Bin led the two brothers to continue to explore inside.
Four days later, Hu Bin and his team arrived at the southernmost part of the forest here, and then walked along the path from the next county to Liuye County, observing all the way. It took another 5 days, and then they chose the place as the military camp. After two days, they finally chose a small village called Wild Boar's mouth as their resident.
There were only two families in the entire village, two brothers, both hunters. As soon as Xiang Feng passed by, they recognized him as the son of an old friend and even invited them to have a meal.
Hu Bin told them about the fact that he wanted to bring his troops to the garrison, and that he might disturb them at that time. Not only did the two brothers not object, but they were also very happy. They also knew what happened under the mountain and what the Japanese did. Moreover, when they went to Liuye County to sell wild game, they were also troubled by the Japanese. They were of course happy when they heard Hu Bin say he wanted to bring his troops to come.
Then Hu Bin returned to the army and reported on the matter of leading his troops to the south mountain, the battalion and regiment brigade department. Brigade Commander Chen from the brigade department was the first to reply to the telegram to express his support. In order to support Hu Bin's army, the brigade department would draw 100 veterans to join Hu Bin's team again, hoping that Hu Bin could also open up a base there.
The regiment commander Li Tianxing saw it and said that he would draw 100 veterans from the Second and Fourth Battalions to Hu Bin. Hu Bin was very happy to learn about it.
After waiting for 3 days, the troops that supported him arrived. Hu Bin led his troops to the wild boar entrance. The entire Lujiagou and the people in nearby villages came to see them farewell. Many of their relatives were in Hu Bin's team, and during this period of contact, the people also discovered that this troops were different from the troops they had encountered before. They really helped the people and had very strict disciplines.
