Zhou Wen's face straightened up and he continued: "Everyone knows the disciplines in the military, so I won't go into details. However, now we are on the front line, on the battlefield, and all actions follow the command. Without the permission of the commander, you are just shitting. You have to bear with me even if you wear your pants. If you violate the discipline, I will be subject to the marching law. There is only one military law on the battlefield: shoot!"
"Now, you have one more chance to choose. If you don't want to be included, you can stand up. I will never force you. I have also prepared dry food and travel expenses for you, so that everyone can get together and disperse."
When Zhou Wen spoke, he exuded the aura of a superior, making the atmosphere at the scene a bit solemn.
The members of the volunteer army were all a little solemn. Some of them who were smiling before quickly held their breaths. They had all witnessed the capabilities of this officer. Killing a kid was easier than killing a chicken. He was not joking. of.
Zhou Wen waited for a while, and when no one came forward, he shouted: "Okay! Since no one wants to work alone, then from now on we are comrades in the trenches, and brothers who share life and death."
"Now let me talk about my purpose of leading troops. It is actually very simple. It is to train - kill the Japanese - then train - and then kill the Japanese again. My ultimate goal is to kill more Japanese."
When Lei Dahai heard this, he felt excited. He was just afraid that if he voted for the wrong person, he would take his brothers to fight the civil war, which would greatly violate the original intention of people like him to fight against Japan.
"Furthermore, I promise that those who follow me as soldiers will eat whatever I eat. The usual treatment and food are much higher than those in the general army. The logistics support will be sufficient and we will never let the brothers go hungry. On the battlefield, I will arrange targeted training based on each of your expertise. If you are good at rifle shooting, I will give you the best rifle, and if you are good at machine gun shooting, I will give you the best machine gun."
After hearing this, the team members looked at each other excitedly, and the joy in their hearts was reflected on their faces.
Just kidding, who wouldn’t want to follow such a commander? Such a capable commander wouldn’t even bother to lie to you. What can he expect from you? Is it because your marksmanship is better than his, or because you have killed more Japanese than others?
Xiao Qi glanced at the rifle behind Zhou Wen eagerly, thinking that she must learn from this officer, and maybe she could own such a good gun.
But Zhou Wen's next words made them couldn't help but cheer.
"My soldiers will never default on their military pay, and the military pay is much higher than that of the average army. Even an ordinary soldier gets five oceans of military pay a month, let alone an officer. A second lieutenant platoon leader earns five oceans a month. There are 15 oceans. Those who win battles and perform well on the battlefield will receive rewards and bonuses."
Seeing the excitement in the eyes of the soldiers in the queue, Zhou Wen smiled. No matter it was that era, who didn't love money? Who would be willing to leave such a good thing if they could kill Japanese and make money?
Of course Zhou Wen knew the military practices of this period, which was that military pay must be paid. The relationship between comrades must be cultivated through time and countless battles. If you want to win people over from the beginning, you must first win them over with generous rewards and benefits. Live and cultivate the others slowly.
Didn't the new recruits of the Second Division also use this method to become the elite confidants who had completely returned home?
Zhou Wen felt that the bait was almost thrown, so he smiled and said, "Is anyone still willing to leave now?"
At this time, a bold team member shouted: "Whoever leaves is a fool."
"Hahaha……"
There was a burst of laughter in the queue.
"Okay, I now announce that your first task is to follow me and escort the folks in the village to move to the pass to join our large army. All actions on the road will follow the command and implement wartime discipline."
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, most of the villagers in Qiantan Village followed Zhou Wen and Xu Dacheng out of the village, carrying most of their belongings, carrying most of their belongings, driving dozens of carts, and enough dry food for three days.
Strangely, there were more than thirty heavily armed Japanese troops guarding the villagers on both sides.
It turned out that Zhou Wen asked all the members of the Volunteer Army to put on the uniforms of the Japs. Even the equipment was exactly the same. He asked them to disguise themselves as Japs escorting ordinary people. The main purpose was to avoid Japanese aircraft detection.
Zhou Wen knew that it was unlikely that he would be pursued by the Japs along the way. There were basically no large Japs troops on the line from Lingyuan to Pingquan. The current main force of the Japanese army had either begun to advance towards the Great Wall defense line, or was still making reinforcements in Chengde. In a short time It is impossible to send troops to reinforce.
Besides, the Japanese squadron that was wiped out was completely wiped out, and not a single fish slipped through the net. The Japanese army will have to figure it out at least tomorrow. By then, this civilian team of several hundred people will have entered Qinglong Mountain in the Yanshan Mountains. It would be very difficult to pursue them.
As long as we enter Qinglong Mountain, it can be said that the threat of Japanese pursuit is basically eliminated. Later, we just need to avoid encountering Japanese troops who have already entered the Great Wall defense line.
But with Zhou Wen and Xu Dacheng as the leading soldiers, it is still easy to detect the enemy in advance and take a detour to avoid it.
At this time, Chai Youde was sitting on an ox cart. The driver was Chai Youxiao. Naturally, Chai Youxiao's wife and children were also sitting in the cart.
"Master, tell me, where can we find a place to stay when we go to the pass? This is a family of five or six hundred people. We will be eaten wherever we go. They won't separate us, right?"
Chai Youde experienced the murder of his wife and child today, and killed someone for the first time in his life. Later, he dragged his exhausted body to persuade the villagers to flee his hometown. He was already mentally and physically exhausted. He wanted to fall asleep as soon as he got in the car, but when he closed his eyes, he either It was the scene of his wife and children being killed, or the scene of him killing someone. He couldn't sleep no matter what, so he kept chatting with Chai Youxiao.
Of course Chai Youxiao knew his master's mood, and he also tried different ways to talk to him to prevent him from being overly immersed in grief.
Originally, he had been listening to Chai Youxiao and his old lady talking with his eyes closed, but now when he heard what Chai Youxiao said, he said angrily: "Why are you still calling me master? I told you before I came out that we will be brothers from now on, and we can't be close anymore." Dear brother, call me big brother."
"Hey, big brother."
Chai Youxiao shouted happily, feeling in his heart that it was closer to him.
Since the two of them experienced life and death together, their relationship has become a little bit stronger than before, and they really feel closer than brothers.
Chai Youde continued to close his eyes and rest, but he said leisurely: "That officer is very capable despite his young age. I believe what he said. Moreover, he also said that it would be best for us to move to Shanxi and wait for me to relax." If you get too excited, think about it, maybe there is actually a way to go to Shanxi."
