Chapter 295: Why are the people so worried that the Japanese invaders will not die?
Compared to Yan Laoxi's furious side, Li Yunlong's life has been very proud recently.
After the newspaper was published, people came to him almost every day, although most of them came to him for weapons.
At the beginning, this group of people looked for Zhang Wan, but Zhang Wan said on the spot that he was just a weapon builder and that if he wanted a weapon, he had to go to Li Yunlong in the end.
Over time, many people came to Ping'an County and walked directly towards Li Yunlong's location, even the commander of the division.
Since the division commander came, Li Yunlong's troops have lost three mountain cannons and a bunch of 38 large covers. Li Yunlong was so angry that he couldn't eat dinner and directly claimed to the public that he had no weapons.
Of course, people from other troops would not believe what he said, but they all knew that if they wanted weapons, they had to give Li Yunlong some benefits.
But it is impossible to really make them bleed, so I always say something nice and give Li Yunlong some millet, green onions and the like.
Li Yunlong was almost annoyed to death. After all, he was a battle of a group, and he was a fierce general and just ate this? If these commanders want to give them some good things.
Li Yunlong rubbed Qingming's hole and sighed helplessly: "Damn, these bastards, my family's fortune is almost emptying these bandits!"
At this moment, Duan Peng hurriedly walked in: "Report to the leader of the group, someone is here!"
"If you don't see me, no one will see me!" Li Yunlong immediately waved his hand and shouted, "No matter who it is, I will not see me. Even if the teacher comes, I will not see me."
"You go and tell him that I am sick or contagious, so I will go back wherever I come from."
Duan Peng was stunned and said helplessly: "The leader of the regiment is Political Commissar Zhao, he has returned from the headquarters!"
Li Yunlong was stunned and slapped him in the head: "Damn it, is the political commissar someone else? Why do you boy have no vision?"
"Go, hurry up and invite the political commissar in!"
"Oh!" Duan Peng turned around and left aggrievedly, thinking in his heart: Didn't you say that no matter who comes to find you, you have to report it to you? Now I'm still relying on me...
After a while, ** walked into the house and found a place to sit down. Li Yunlong poured him a glass of water: "Old Zhao, when will he be back? What did the boss explain this time?"
** took the water cup and said, "This time I went to the headquarters to make a summary report on the casualties and wounded people of each army after the war. This time, the losses of each army were quite large, and some regiments were killed directly."
Li Yunlong nodded with his eyes down and said, "Our army has such strong combat effectiveness, and this time the losses are so great, especially after the Niangzi Pass, there are less than 3,500 people who have combat effectiveness from four troops, not to mention other troops."
"Old Zhao, what are the boss planning to do the subsequent pension work this time?"
** said in a deep voice: "I always wanted to pay the money seized from the Japanese as pensions to the families who died in battle."
"But considering the current situation, the troops need money to recover their vitality, so after discussion, they decided to first distribute some cotton coats, cotton pants, and some rice, flour and food to the families of the soldiers who died in battle. At the same time, they wrote down the IOU, and then drove the Japanese away, and distributed them pensions."
Li Yunlong nodded: "As far as the current situation is concerned, this is indeed the safest way."
"That's not it!" ** echoed, and then seemed to remember something, stood up and said, "Old Li, this time the boss also conveyed other instructions, mainly the work issues for the next period of time. I'll report to you!"
**As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yunlong immediately said, "No, no, no! You asked me to rest for two days and fight someone over the past few days, which made me feel overwhelmed!"
"If you Lao Zhao comes to me for a drink, I will applaud and welcome you. If you report to work, you can do it yourself. I don't want to talk about work recently, and my mind will be buzzing when I talk about it!"
** was stunned and suddenly became angry: "I said to Lao Li, you are a little distorted. We are doing revolutionary work, what have you become? He is a landlord and rich, and he is almost like to mock your two maids for you to squeeze your waist and legs."
"I tell you that the next stage of work is recruiting soldiers, and you, the military chief, must make an idea!"
"Recruiting?" Li Yunlong's interest suddenly came, and a glimmer burst out in his eyes.
After the war, all troops recruited new soldiers, mainly because the war extended too much. In order to avoid it, people from many places hid in the mountains with their families. Therefore, it was not easy to recruit soldiers. It was not until recently that the people returned to their respective residences one after another.
After hearing the news, the boss immediately asked the troops in nearby counties to open warehouses and release grain. At the same time, he ordered each army to not recruit soldiers without his orders, so that the people could have a good rest.
Of course, some people have raised objections to opening warehouses and releasing grain, but the boss said, "Our Eighth Route Army is the people's army, and even if they go hungry, they have to let the people eat enough."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was silent, so even if Li Yunlong wanted to recruit soldiers, he had no choice but to follow the order.
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Old Zhao, since the boss allows us to recruit soldiers, let's hurry up!"
As he said that, Li Yunlong turned around and was about to walk out, ** quickly grabbed him: "What are you anxious about?"
"The boss said this time that recruiting soldiers must be voluntarily by the people. We must not force them, otherwise we will be severely punished and not loaned!"
Li Yunlong laughed: "I know! When did our old Li do something about forced buying and selling!"
"This time we have a big gap in personnel. We need to recruit more people to join the training as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness. Otherwise, if the Japanese come, we will suffer a big loss!"
"Old Zhao, you will bring a battalion soldiers to build a recruitment office here later, and at the same time, let the propaganda troops spread news around and tell the people in the village that this time, my Li Yunlong's army recruits people without restrictions. As long as the conditions meet, I will all!"
"Okay!"** responded and turned around and left.
In the evening, the people who learned the news had already lined up in the recruitment office, and many people even brought dry food and quilts.
Even after it got dark, many people took the initiative to light torches just to join Li Yunlong's troops to fight the Japanese.
On the city tower, Li Yunlong looked at the long queue and sighed: "With such people supporting us, why worry about not driving away the Japanese!"
** nodded: "This situation is not only ours, but other troops are the same!"
"Now, our Eighth Route Army is the most capable team in the minds of the people in northwest Shanxi, so the enthusiasm of the people to join the army is so high!"
Li Yunlong nodded slightly and turned around and said, "Duan Peng, take people to tell the people who do not meet our recruitment requirements, tell them not to leave. I have other things to do!"
