As a dozen or so bloody men took the lead, throwing down their hats and striding to press their fingerprints, some hesitant refugees also took the plunge.

Of the 300 people recruited, more than 260 people pressed their fingerprints on the spot and received money. The remaining 30 people who were still hesitating wanted to agree again, but it was too late. The vicious armed soldiers in the concession locked them up directly.

Although they were imprisoned, the 40 oceans were paid directly to their families. It was considered hush money, just like remuneration for their service to the police station.

Of course, the refugees didn't just put on military uniforms and look like soldiers. In the Roman Empire's military camp, a week-long military training was specially prepared for them. Tang Dao led Shen Laoliu and Ming Xin to queue them up.

Special training.

Those were perhaps the five most painful days for Tang Tuanzuo. He finally understood why his former recruit company commander had a red face for a long time. It was not because of the sun, but because he was so angry because of his elevated blood pressure.

But as Tang Tuanzuo roared that those who failed to meet the standards would be kicked out, and the ocean was taken back, the refugees actually maintained their military posture for an hour, which made people truly experience the magic of money.

After seven days, let’s not talk about training these refugees who are about to become dead soldiers into real soldiers! At least they have a soldier. Tang Dao even found a few talents among them. If they are trained well and put into the regular army, it will be good.

.

Just in time, a dozen or so people who were pretty good were assigned to the positions of battalion commander, company commander, and platoon commander. They even found a guy who looked quite similar to Xie Jinyuan to be the group leader, but it was basically just a decoration, letting him go on stage and pretend to talk.

A few words are fine, but any more will reveal the secret, but that's fine. Anyway, the Japanese spies can only observe here with a telescope, and they can't get closer than 300 meters.

Tang Dao promised to increase the allowances for the refugees who were 'officers' according to their levels, and gave them jurisdiction over their respective 'subordinates'. He also promised that if they wanted to join the army in the future, they could come to him directly, which made more than a dozen admired 'officers'

They were so grateful that they worked very hard during training.

A week later, the 260 performing refugee soldiers not only had a decent appearance, they even had a preliminary management system.

I gave them all guns and bullets, and I trained in the military camp for a few more weeks. Maybe I could actually have a chance to meet a Japanese infantry team.

The desire for money and power is universal everywhere.

It was not until everything was ready that the substitute refugees could replace all the officers and soldiers of the 542nd Regiment by putting on the tattered military uniforms of the 542nd Regiment. Only then did Tang Dao arrive at the military camp and talk to Xie Jinyuan about the matter.

This is also to do something absolutely so that Xie Jinyuan cannot refuse.

"You have already brought this matter to this point, how can I refuse?" Xie Jinyuan said with a wry smile.

"Then, sir, are you willing to go to North China with me? You can't be the leader of the Four Lines Regiment, but I can definitely give you a regiment of soldiers and horses, which you will command, and we will kill the Japanese together." Tang Dao stared at himself.

The former commander had a burning gaze.

Although Xie Jinyuan did not become famous until the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, his solid military experience has already destined him to be an excellent commander.

It's a pity that in time and space, he died at the hands of Xiaoxiao before he had time to show his talent. Tang Dao believes that if he is given a regiment of soldiers, he will never do a bad job.

If this person is willing, the Four Elements Group will have another strong helping hand.

"I really want to fight side by side with you again!" Xie Jinyuan was silent for a long time and finally spoke, with sadness in his eyes. "But I'm sorry, Tang Dao, I'm going to let you down this time. I can't go there."

"Sir..." Tang Dao's heart sank. What he was worried about still happened.

"It's not that I don't want to kill the Japanese invaders, but, as you know, your regiment's long stay in North China has aroused suspicion. If I go back with the remaining troops, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. Moreover, our 542nd regiment is the 88th Division.

Anyone under his command can go, but I, the nominal leader, must not go." Xie Jinyuan stood up and put his hand on Tang Dao's shoulder: "This rescue only saved me, Battalion Commander Yang and the quartermaster.

While only a few people are waiting, the rest, including Company Commander Shi, Company Commander Shangguan and others, are still stranded in the concession, do you understand?"

"Sir, why are you doing this?" Tang Dao felt the burning heat coming from the big hand on his shoulder, and his heart trembled.

Tang Dao understood what this man meant. It was clear that in addition to taking away Battalion Commander Yang and several civilian officers, the remaining three incomplete infantry companies would be handed over to him.

"The heroes of Sihang Warehouse will die on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. I know you will not let them down." Xie Jinyuan roared in a low voice, showing that his mood was also agitated.

"Besides, even if I don't go to the north, the Military and Administrative Department will not let me, an army colonel, live a free life. Maybe we will meet again on the battlefield that day, right?"

"Okay, sir, let's see you on the battlefield." Tang Dao was not an indecisive person, and he knew that this person's choice was actually the best one.

Both of them are heroic men. Now that they have made a decision, they will not continue to argue about this matter. The two sides sat down again and called over the already anxious Battalion Commander Yang, Shangguan Yunbiao, Shi Hao and others to discuss all the details.

Then they exchanged military salutes and said goodbye again.

It's just that Tang Dao may not have expected that it would be so many years since he was separated from his former commander.
