Xie Tian rode his tall horse and led the vast refugee team out of Dagu Town and headed straight for Gushan Temple.
So far, nearly a hundred refugees have come after hearing the news. The majority are old, weak, women and children, but there are only a few who are truly young and strong.
For more than a thousand miles, those who have the strength have already found a way to survive on the road. Whether they are soldiers or thieves, there is always a way to survive.
A bushel of millet can be exchanged for a young girl, and a piece of dry biscuit can make people put down their dignity and do things they don't want to do. In the years of war and chaos, human life is the most valuable thing.
After settling the refugees in the temple, Xie Tian walked into the regiment headquarters in the wing.
So far, his independent regiment has recruited eighteen soldiers. Except for Qin Fengao and the two handlebars, the rest are refugees who have defected. The oldest is over forty, and the youngest is over forty. Only fifteen years old.
Now let's not focus on the quality of the soldiers, as long as there are people.
Xie Tian first called Qin Fen in and chatted for a while. He first learned about the situation of these dozen people from his mouth, and then chatted with Qin Fen for a while about more in-depth topics.
After most of the day's observation, he felt that Qin Fen could be used, but he still didn't trust his purpose of building a team.
But that doesn't matter. Everything he says now is just rhetoric. As time goes by, he will naturally understand his own thoughts.
Xie Tian asked Tiedan for the bastard gun and handed it to Qin Fen: "This gun will be given to you for use first. There are only a few bullets. Save some for now and I will help you capture some when we get to the battlefield. "
Tiedan watched Qin Fen take the holster with distress, and couldn't help pouting.
He liked this gun very much and took advantage of it.
Qin Fen took the gun and checked it, put the holster on his shoulder and looked at Xie Tian and said, "No one else needs help. I will seize it myself when we get to the battlefield."
Xie Tian saw that Qin Fen's mood was obviously much higher the moment he took the gun. He smiled slightly and said: "You are not a coward. Okay, now call those soldiers in one by one. I want to talk to them individually to understand each other." What are their specialties?"
"What's your specialty?" The sophomore in high school looked at Xie Tian and asked, "Does knowing how to make money count?"
Xie Tianyi smiled: "Forget it, but I don't think your specialty is very good. If you play well, you won't be seen through by the second boy of the Ma Baotian family."
The sophomore girl excitedly squatted down on the stool and looked at Xie Tian with bright eyes and asked, "Does the group have any special skills? How about we show off?"
Xie Tian laughed: "I don't have time to coax you to play, so get out and call the next one."
After more than a dozen people finished chatting one after another, Xie Tian probably had an idea in his mind.
They lined up in the courtyard. It took a long time for a dozen or so people to stand in line. They were swaying around and didn't have a good posture.
Seeing the people lined up in the yard, the newly resettled refugees gathered around curiously to watch the excitement from a distance.
The little monk Xuwu was coming out to fetch water, and he also stood in the crowd to follow.
What monks emphasize is the purity of the six roots, but how can it be possible to be peaceful in these troubled times?
The temple is not a paradise. The Japanese artillery shells still fall into it. The hole in the wall of the main hall was blown up by the Japanese artillery shells.
It's not good to stand in the queue. Thank God and he doesn't force it. This is just the beginning. It will be better after a few days of training. All he wants now is this sense of ritual.
Xie Tian adjusted the queue a little, stood in front of the queue and announced a few rules. These rules were basically copied from the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, with slight changes.
After listening to the military regulations announced by Xie Tian, everyone understood clearly that Xie Tian's army is not an army that harms the common people.
Who dares to say that Xie Tian's team is causing harm to people? I'm afraid those refugees who were resettled by Xie Tian will stop working.
Xie Tian stared at the recruits and said, "We will start training from tomorrow. The training is for no other reason than to give you more chances to survive on the battlefield than others."
"Some people say that soldiers are consumables on the battlefield, but you are not here. As long as you join my team, you will be my brothers. I want you to live well."
"I am now announcing interim personnel appointments."
"Appointed, Qin Fen is the administrative officer of the Independent Regiment of the People's Liberation Army and the commander of the first company."
"Appointed, sophomore in high school, as squad leader of the reconnaissance squad directly under the regiment."
"Appointed Ma Ziqiang as squad leader of the first company, one platoon, and one squad."
"Appointed Zhang Xingsheng as squad leader of the second squad of the first company and the first platoon."
"Appointed Wang Banshang as the cooking squad leader and transportation squad leader."
"Now comrades, please applaud and congratulate."
The eighteen soldiers applauded sparsely, but the refugees who were watching applauded and applauded.
Tiedan, who was standing in the team, was anxious. He hurriedly walked out and asked, "Godfather, where am I?"
Even the ruffian refugee Che Xiang became an official, and Tiedan was Xie Baoqing's godson.
Xie Tian glared at Tiedan and said, "Xie Jin, if you have something to report, you have to report it first, and there is no godfather in the team, only the team leader."
"Yes, leader. Report to the leader, you have made all arrangements, what should I do?"
"You work as my orderly and run errands with me."
Tiedan pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I also want to lead troops."
People roared with laughter. A twelve-year-old kid still wants to lead an army. Who will obey you?
Xie Tian glared at Tiedan and announced: "Everyone is dismissed. The cadres will stay and we will have a meeting."
Xie Tian led the five selected cadres into the regiment headquarters. It’s quite funny when you think about it. There are a total of eighteen people in the team, including Xie Tian, there are only nineteen people. With six cadres, the airs are quite big. It's a pity that there is no one.
The first thing Xie Tian did when he called the cadres to a meeting was to divide the troops. Not counting Tiedan, there were still twelve soldiers, and it was difficult to divide them no matter how they were divided.
"Let's divide the troops first, Squad Leader Wang. There are only a few people in the team right now. You will be responsible for the work of the cooking class and transportation class by yourself first. When the team expands later, we will assign people to you."
Wang Banshang is the oldest in the team, over 40 years old. He is also one of the two handlers who came from the Gaojia grain transport team. He is a good livestock farmer, and he also serves as a cook for the servants in the Gaojia Weizi. , when farming is busy, we have to work in the fields.
There is no idle person in Gao Kuirong's eyes. He has a full schedule for everyone to do no matter how much they do in a day. It is guaranteed that everyone will be snoring in less than half a pack of cigarettes while lying on the kang at the end of the day.
Wang Banshang responded with a muffled head, dug out a pack of tobacco leaves from his cigarette purse and lit it.
Xie Tianyixiao picked up the cigarettes on the table and spread them around everyone. He said to the second child in high school: "Second child, let me pick people first. You pick two smart people to join your reconnaissance squad."
"What does the reconnaissance squad do?" asked the sophomore boy in high school, squatting on a stool. He had never thought that Xie Tian would give him a job, and he was so excited.
Xie Tian looked at the high school boy and replied: "The reconnaissance squad is the eyes of our independent regiment. It is responsible for gathering intelligence and keeping an eye on the enemy's every move. The focus now is to keep an eye on the movements of the Zhangzhuang stronghold and the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army. No matter what actions they take, report them to me immediately."
Gao Ernuo smiled and said: "That's it, it's not easy."
"Simple?" Xie Tian glared at Gao Ernuo and said, "If your information is inaccurate, maybe the whole group will be involved."
Gao Ernuo chuckled and said: "Regiment leader, many people from the Imperial Association Army in Zhangzhuang Stronghold have played with me for money. You are familiar with it. The same is true for the 358th Regiment. Even the Eighth Route is under strict control and the Eighth Route is also poor. No one is playing with money." . If you are willing to reward me with a few oceans, I can sneak into the Zhangzhuang stronghold tonight. After a day of gambling, I can even find out for you what color underwear the Japanese are wearing. Maybe I can still Win a few oceans and come back."
Xie Tianyi stared at the high school boy and laughed: "I forgot about your specialty. That's good. You can carry out this task when needed."
"Then when will you need it?" The high school boy looked at Xie Tian with bright eyes, wishing that Xie Tian would take out a few oceans from his pocket and reward him right now.
Xie Tianyi smiled and said: "Just wait for the notification. Let's train well tomorrow. Once our legs and feet are sharp, we can escape faster than others."
Twelve soldiers, the reconnaissance squad is divided into two, and the first squad and the second squad are divided into five squads. At least we have set up the frame first, but this soldier configuration is at best the strength of a strengthened squad, but it is carrying a The banner of the independent group.
As for the firepower equipment, Xie Tian smiled: "You will know tomorrow."
