Chapter 126 Li Yunlong has a good way of recruiting soldiers
Ever since the blind captain Cheng raised the recruitment flag in Liutou Town.
Handsome young men from all over the country were clamoring to join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese.
He found more than 300 people on the first day, which made him very happy.
I heard that Li Yunlong’s people in Xiaoliu Village were unable to recruit many soldiers.
He proudly called Li Yunlong and asked if he wanted to assign a few hundred of the new recruits he would recruit to him in the future.
That's why Li Yunlong was so angry that he held a "Zhuge Liang" meeting overnight.
The next day during the day, not many people signed up because there was farm work to do.
But when it was almost dark, there were still few people coming to sign up for the army.
When Captain Cheng inquired about it, he was shocked.
It turned out that all the handsome young men from the surrounding area ran to Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment and signed up to join the army.
He asked the people who were recruiting soldiers, and they also said they didn't know what was going on.
So Captain Cheng decided to wait until the next day and go to Li Yunlong’s New Regiment in person to take a look.
The next morning, he changed into plain clothes and carried a hoe.
He prepared to set off with his guards to visit Li Yunlong's recruitment station in disguise.
As soon as Captain Cheng arrived at the recruiting station in Daliushan, he was furious at Li Yunlong's dirty tricks.
Three long tables were set up in the grain-drying yard of Daliushan.
Behind the tables, there was a banner made of red cloth hung.
The banners read: "Liutou Town Surprise Attack Company", "Daliu Village Great Merit Company" and "Xiaoliu Village Enemy-Defeating Company".
As Captain Cheng was walking inside, he was stopped by two Eighth Route Army soldiers with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
One of them asked, "Fellow villager, which village are you from?"
Another said, "My fellow villager, do you also want to join the Eighth Route Army?"
"Fellow countryman, you can join the company that has more fellow countrymen from your hometown."
"Fellow villager, if you are from another village, you can choose any of these three companies of the Eighth Route Army to join."
"Fellow villagers, we can get guns once we join the team. The Japanese's Type 38 rifles are all brand new."
"Fellow villagers, once you join the army, you will be given military uniforms and shoes.
If you put on this, matchmakers from all over the town will come to trample on the threshold of your house."
Commander Cheng’s guard: Because of what you said, I want to join the Eighth Route Army again.
This time, Captain Cheng finally understood how Li Yunlong recruited his soldiers.
Li Yunlong had just liberated three villages occupied by the Japanese devils.
The common people were extremely fond of the Eighth Route Army and some of them also wanted to join it.
Looking at Li Yunlong's weapons and equipment again, they are no worse than those of the Japanese.
He also promised to distribute Type 38 rifles to everyone, as well as military uniforms and shoes. They were not like the legendary "Tubalu" at all.
There is also a propaganda poster on the side showing the Eighth Route Army soldiers wearing uniforms from both sides.
He was wearing a military uniform, a military cap, and cloth shoes, and holding a Type 38 rifle with a bayonet in both hands.
The bullet bags on his body were filled with yellow bullets.
There were four grenades hanging in the cross-body grenade bag.
There was also a bag slung across his body on the other side, with a white porcelain pot and a woolen towel tied to the outside.
The most amazing thing is that there was a "Report of Merit" in the soldier's bag.
Next to the "Good News of Merit", there is a photo of a family of three.
The person in the photo seems to be wearing a big red flower.
In front of the soldiers' bayonets, a group of people were kneeling.
The shadows were vague, and they looked like the Japanese devils and puppet troops.
Captain Cheng was convinced. How could this be just a simple picture of the equipment of the Eighth Route Army soldiers?
This is clearly a propaganda poster showing that the Eighth Route Army soldiers are well-equipped and have triumphed over the Japanese invaders and traitors; one person's achievement brings glory to the whole family!
Whose hand is this? What a talented person! How could he draw this...
Even I want to join the Eighth Route Army again in the New 1st Regiment!
Deputy Captain Wu: My name is Wu Changfeng, and I have been studying at the "Warm Academy" in Longnan since I was young.
Although we are attending a private school, the principal is our commander-in-chief, definitely the commander-in-chief's disciple!
Another thing is that there are also problems with these three banners.
The names of the three companies represent the three heroic companies that liberated the villagers.
Which young man wouldn't want to join a unit like this that has rescued his parents and relatives?
In addition, there are many fellow villagers there, so you won’t feel too lonely when you join such a unit.
Who came up with this ingenious plan to recruit soldiers for Li Yunlong?
Wu Changfeng: Hehehe, it’s still me!
Now that Captain Cheng has understood Li Yunlong's tactics, he is ready to turn around and go back.
As for the recruiting point in Xiaoliu Village, it is probably more or less the same, so it’s better not to look at it.
The two soldiers in charge of recruiting did not know Captain Cheng.
When they saw that the two fellow villagers, one big and one small, were about to leave, they called activists from three townships to come.
He asked, "Brother Wang, which farm do those two people belong to?"
Wang Xikui narrowed his eyes and looked at Captain Cheng, and said, "I don't know him. He looks very unfamiliar. He doesn't seem to be from our local area."
The two recruiting soldiers looked at each other and began to discuss.
"They have calluses on their fingers."
"Well, it's not a position where you often do farm work."
"As soon as I arrived, I went to the fellow villager's place and asked him questions."
"Not only are his eyes looking around, but they are also squinting all the time, with a malicious look on his face."
"Maybe these two are the Japanese spies?"
Captain Cheng: You are the spy, your whole family are spies!
I squint my eyes because I am nearsighted, okay? Is it any of your business?
The two soldiers standing by whispered to each other and gestured towards the gate with their fingers.
The plainclothes officer standing guard at the door immediately understood and sent someone to follow.
This person is also from the Gansu Army, and he concealed his identity very well.
Everyone spoke fluent Shanxi dialect, and even the villagers in Daliushuang could not hear any flaws.
So even Captain Cheng, an old revolutionary, didn't realize that he had been targeted.
As soon as Captain Cheng arrived under a low wall, he saw a few young men running towards him, panting.
As they ran, they were talking about signing up to join the Eighth Route Army.
Captain Cheng was quite embarrassed and leaned towards the low wall, intending to let the young men pass first.
Unexpectedly, these guys came up and suddenly pounced on them.
He hugged his legs and flipped over to the other side of the low wall, and the people on the other side of the wall immediately came to his rescue.
The man covered their mouths and stuffed half a towel into their mouths, then used a rope to tie their hands first and then their legs, it was so clean and neat.
Then they searched their bodies and found three revolvers on the backs of the two men. They were indeed big fish.
Because the people in their security department acted so quickly, the villagers didn't notice it.
After a short while, the two Japanese "spies" were taken into the interrogation room.
The two were interrogated together, and Captain Cheng kept his head down.
The main thing was that I felt so ashamed that I was captured by the men of my old comrade.
If I tell this to others, I will be laughed at to death by my old comrades.
The Eighth Route Army security officer sitting opposite them had already begun interrogating them.
"Tell me, what are your names? Whose subordinates are you working for? What secrets of our Eighth Route Army have you stolen?"
Another person said: “Oh, these two are pretty stubborn.
It seems that they are still staunch traitors! "
The person who asked the question first said, "I think so too. Why bother to review him? Just execute him directly."
