In order to prevent anyone from lying, County Magistrate Yuan also sent someone over to conduct detailed registration. In this period of war and chaos, registration is just a formality, and many things cannot be verified at all.
Wen San set three conditions and indeed persuaded some people to retreat, but many people still rushed over excitedly. Some teenagers even called their friends and invited each other to come and sign up together. The school has been bombed by Japanese soldiers, and most people are evacuating outside the county. Who can still think about studying?
After a brief inquiry by the county magistrate, those who came to join the army were only allowed to come over to Wen San and the others if they met the conditions.
In fact, Wen San didn't have much to ask. He just tested them on some simple questions and passed them.
After half an hour, the number of recruits had exceeded 80, and more people were coming here after hearing the news. Wen San estimated that he could easily complete his goal within two hours.
However, what Wen San didn't expect was that something happened during the recruitment process.
More than ten female students actually came over, and Magistrate Yuan immediately refused to accept them. Two of the leading girls boldly started to argue with him.
"Why don't you accept us? We are not within the limits of those three conditions. Besides, you didn't say you can't have female soldiers? This is a new era that pursues equality between men and women. You must not discriminate against your female compatriots." The girl who spoke was named Fang Mei.
At first glance, she looks like a girl with a fierce personality and quite straightforward. Even if the person standing in front of him is the county magistrate, he still has to argue with reason.
County Magistrate Yuan was speechless and had no choice but to turn his attention to Wen San. After all, he is the one who talks here, and it is up to him to decide whether to recruit or not.
"Don't you know that there is a saying that 'wars make women go away'? The battlefield is a very bloody and cruel thing. It is painful and tiring. Can you bear it?" Wen San didn't want to accept these female soldiers either.
His army is full of rough men, and it is not convenient to lead some female soldiers. The most important thing is that I still don’t want women to go to the battlefield. This can also be regarded as a manifestation of machismo.
"Why should women go away? We are not afraid of suffering. We also love our country. As the Japanese invaders crazily attack our country, how many people are living in dire straits. Can't women stand up and fight hard? We also have something to do. The right to die for our country!”
Fang Mei really didn't have stage fright at all. Her thoughts were quite clear when she said this. For a while, Wen San really couldn't find a suitable reason to reject them.
After all, at the beginning, Wen San never expected that a female student would come to join the army. In the final analysis, she still lacked experience. This time, Fang Mei took advantage of her.
As she said, women in the new era are pursuing equality between men and women. They also have patriotism and the right to fight together in national crises.
"My troops have been fighting on the front line for a long time and may die at any time. If you want to be my soldier, you can't just speak, you must have the corresponding abilities. If you can convince me with your talents, I will give you a chance to join the army. Rights." Wen San came up with a reason to persuade the other party to retreat.
If these girls say that they can do laundry, cook, or whatever, he can say that they don't need it. Naturally, they were sent back.
"My ancestors have been practicing medicine in Liangzhong for generations. I myself have several years of medical experience, and I also learned battlefield rescue in school. I may not be as good as men in fighting, but I am definitely better than you at treating the wounded. You guys Since we are a front-line combat unit, soldiers must be injured at any time, so isn’t my role reflected?”
Fang Mei actually came up with a reason that made Wen San tempted.
To be honest, no matter which battle there are, there will always be some soldiers injured. If some injured people can be treated in time, they have a chance to survive. But Wen San's team did not have professional ambulance personnel.
If they hadn't seized some medicines from the Japanese, this situation would have been even more serious.
"Can you use Chinese medicine to treat the injury?"
"Of course, the theory of Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. There are also many drugs that can treat trauma. When there is no drug supply, I can even go to the mountains to collect some herbs and use them back. This is my classmate, her name is Yang Xiaolin, she studied She is a Western medicine doctor, she can operate on injured soldiers and speed up their physical recovery."
Fang Mei pointed to another round-faced girl and said to Wen San.
After hearing her introduction, Wen San was really moved. Since there are no doctors who can operate, soldiers who are shot are basically removed by simple and crude means. This will not only aggravate the soldiers' injuries, but may even lead to death due to excessive bleeding.
"Is there such a school in Jiangyin County?" Wen San felt a little incredible. He must be very lucky.
"It definitely doesn't exist in Jiangyin County. My hometown is in Jiangyin County. The Japanese invaded Shanghai, so I had no choice but to go back to my hometown. Yang Xiaolin's parents were also killed by the Japanese, and they followed me to Jiangyin County. As for them, they Students from Jiangyin County Middle School, we happened to meet together."
After talking about this, Wen San no longer refused and immediately registered them.
It would not be appropriate to accept just the two of them. Wen San thought about it and accepted all the female students who met the requirements. Just let Fang Mei and Yang Xiaolin train a battlefield rescue team for him.
This is of great benefit to the entire team. With their help, more wounded soldiers will definitely survive. Those people are all elites on the battlefield.
In the end, Wen San accepted a total of 12 female students, forming exactly one class. Seeing these female students who were full of youthful spirit, the soldiers straightened their waists a little straighter.
In less than two hours, Wen San's recruitment work was completed. There are 200 male soldiers, the oldest is 32 years old and the youngest is just 16 years old. There were actually two teachers among them, which made Wen San happy.
In the future, there were finally people who would give cultural classes to the soldiers. Those traditional Chinese characters made Wen San feel very overwhelmed and it was very difficult to write. Isn't there someone here to solve the problem now?
"County Magistrate Yuan, thank you very much for your support." Wen San thanked him before leaving.
"You're welcome, we are all doing our best for the country, and this is what we should do." County Magistrate Yuan is also a man of backbone, otherwise he would not have been able to form a support club at this moment.
"We just collected some food and medicine, don't you want to take some back with you?" Before leaving, Yuan County chased after him again and told Wen San some good news.
"Thank you so much!" Wen San is not afraid of having more of these two things, not to mention there are more than two hundred people now.
Food consumption is really not small!
Medicines are even more precious. Fortunately, the Japs have not completely blocked them now, so you can still get some by using your brains. When the Japanese implement a complete blockade, it will be even more difficult to obtain these supplies.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, Wen San finally returned with his team fully loaded.
