Anti-Japanese War: Plunder the devils to create a super army

Kong Jie glanced at the soldiers, then looked at Wang Lin in surprise.

"Where did you go to recruit men? You brought back so many new recruits."

There was no need for Wang Lin to explain, as they naturally knew that the many people Wang Lin brought back must be new recruits.

But this number is a bit too much, more than 200 people.

Li Yunlong also said this.

"This kid is very clever. Maybe he can get all the able-bodied men from the surrounding villages here."

He was not too surprised. He could only say that it was both reasonable and unexpected.

No matter what Wang Lin did, he was no longer surprised. After all, he had that ability.

Wang Lin also explained with a smile at this moment.

"We did go on a training exercise this time. We originally wanted to visit Heyuan City and Dechang County, but we found that the Japanese didn't dare to come out."

"I've been out for two days and haven't seen a single Japanese soldier. I have no choice but to go to Ping'an County."

"When I arrived at Ping'an County, I happened to hear that there were bandits living in the mountains. I came over to take a look and found that their foundation was quite good, much better than the new recruits."

bandit?

Hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately frowned.

However, in front of so many people, he just gave Wang Lin a look.

Wang Lin explained obediently.

"Although these people are bandits, they are still able-bodied men after all, and their habits can be changed."

"Besides, our independent regiment is short of people right now, so we can just recruit them and have more strength to fight the Japanese."

"I've already given them some simple training and eliminated a lot of them. The ones that remain are still okay. As long as they continue to train more, I believe they will be able to demonstrate great combat effectiveness in the future."

After hearing what Wang Lin had said to this extent, Li Yunlong did not say anything more.

He nodded slightly.

"Then let's train them first and see what they are made of."

There were bandits who had retired from the Eighth Route Army, but it was not easy for these bandits to change their habits, and it took a long time.

Especially since the bandits are used to freedom, it is difficult to make them obey discipline.

If Wang Lin hadn't done this, many of them would definitely be very worried.

Take Zhao Gang for example. After hearing that these people were all bandits, he actually had some opposition in his heart.

But considering that we are now in the war of resistance, we cannot think so much in difficult times and should open up our horizons.

Of course, the most important thing is that their independent regiment now has plenty of resources, food and so on, but the problem is the lack of people.

Most of the able-bodied men in the surrounding villages had already been drafted by them, making it more difficult to recruit more soldiers.

Moreover, these bandits are not without advantages. They are naturally straightforward in their temper.

This is actually a very good condition for being a soldier. If you can take them to fight the Japanese once or twice, it may be a greater improvement for them.

Wang Lin moved closer to Li Yunlong and spoke in a low voice.

"I plan to reorganize them into the 2nd Company of our Special Operations Battalion, with Xie Baoqing as the company commander."

Li Yunlong nodded slightly, then took two steps forward, looked at the bandits in front of him, nodded slightly, and spoke loudly.

"I am the commander of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong, and I will be your commander from now on."

"Since Staff Officer Wang has brought all of you here, it's enough to prove that you all have the potential to become members of the Eighth Route Army. I have great confidence in you."

"As long as you are willing to obey discipline and fight the Japanese, you are a member of our Eighth Route Army. On behalf of the Independent Regiment, I welcome you."

After hearing Li Yunlong's words, many bandits present breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yunlong was worried, and these bandits were also very worried.

But fortunately, it seems that there is no big problem.

After saying this, Li Yunlong looked at Xie Baoqing, who was in the lead.

"You must be Xie Baoqing, the leader of Black Wind Village."

When Xie Baoqing heard that the other party actually knew him, he nodded somewhat flattered, and then seemed to remember something, and immediately gave a proper military salute.

"Report to the head of the group, I am Xie Baoqing."

Although he was a bandit, he was well-known far and wide and was the leader of more than 300 bandits.

The name Li Yunlong had long been spread throughout northwest Shanxi. Anyone who had heard about the situation in Xiaoguzi knew about Li Yunlong's battle record.

But he only now found out that the leader of the independent regiment was Li Yunlong.

This made him feel fortunate that he did not fight with Wang Lin, otherwise, with Li Yunlong's reputation and temper outside, he would definitely cause trouble for him.

Seeing the other party's rookie look, Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, very well done."

"Staff Officer Wang wants you to be the commander of their reinforcement company. I don't have any objections to this, but first you have to change your habits."

"I believe that as their former leader, you should also be aware of this. If you can't do it well, don't blame me for dismissing you."

Xie Baoqing nodded quickly.

The matter was settled just like that.

Li Yunlong asked the special forces to take these people for training.

Wang Lin then pulled Duan Peng over and introduced him.

"This is a good seedling I found in Heyuan City. He is a martial artist with good skills."

"Based on his kung fu, he should be as good as Monk Wei. I plan to make them our deputy platoon leaders."

Li Yunlong took a look at Duan Peng's hands and his standing posture, and he could clearly tell that this guy must have practiced some skills.

"Damn it, how do you always find such good soldiers?"

He couldn't help but curse.

Wang Lin touched his head and said nothing, fearing that the other party would snatch his soldiers.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong didn't say much. After all, what the special forces need are good talents, and poaching them casually will only restrict them.

After briefly chatting with Li Yunlong, Wang Lin spoke to Wang Xikui next to him.

"You platoon leaders will be responsible for settling Xie Baoqing and the others. Since they have become members of our Eighth Route Army, you must treat them equally."

Wang Xikui quickly took the order and carried it out.

On the other side, Xie Baoqing and his men looked at the soldiers of the independent regiment around them, all with surprise on their faces.

They could clearly feel that the morale of the soldiers of these independent regiments was very high and everyone was very positive.

This is definitely an elite force.

Xie Baoqing realized that he had not come to the wrong place, and this independent regiment was indeed not simple.
