Yesterday afternoon, the news of Liu Dong being shot to death had spread throughout the county government. Everyone knew that Liu Dong was executed on the spot by a foreign brigade commander and that he had a good relationship with the county head.
In the past, Xu Hanchen's subordinates might have disobeyed Xu Hanchen's orders, but now, they all put away this idea!
With Liu Dong's death, Luye County changed!
They had heard that less than four hours after Liu Dong's death, the entire security team of three to four hundred people had been disarmed by more than twenty soldiers.
In the end, he even gave the guns of the security team to Xu Hanchen's police station.
Now that Xu Hanchen was in control of the police station, who would dare to go against Xu Hanchen in Luye County?
Therefore, the people in the county government were now obedient to Xu Hanchen, and no one dared to go against him. Therefore, these things were quickly passed down. It didn't take long for the recruitment notice to be posted in every corner of the county.
Along with the various towns under the jurisdiction of the county, it could be said that as long as there were people gathered, they could see the recruitment notice.
When the people woke up in the morning, they saw the recruitment notice near their homes. Moreover, there were police officers on the streets beating gongs and drums to publicize it. In an instant, the entire county knew about the recruitment of the independent mixed brigade.
"So it's recruiting soldiers! These soldiers are not good at fighting the devils, but they are good at bullying the common people. Gong Gong, you must not be stupid and join the army!”
After a middle-aged woman learned of the details, she snorted coldly and said to a young man beside her.
"Don't worry, mother. I won't go to these troops!”
They did not have a good impression of these troops.
One had to know that in this era, wars and bandits were rampant. If an army passed by, it could be said that not a single blade of grass would grow.
When many troops arrived at a place, due to the lack of military discipline, those veterans were all good at stealing and bullying the people!
In order to collect some military pay, many miscellaneous troops would often levy taxes and even force young and strong laborers to go to a place, causing the people to complain.
Under such circumstances, how could the commoners have a good impression of the army?
The middle-aged woman's words made the surrounding villagers nod in agreement.
Obviously, they agreed with him!
However, at this moment, an old man with a walking stick beside him heard this. He pulled a policeman who was beating a gong and asked excitedly,"Is this unit called the 358th Regiment? The leader is called Chu Yunfei?"
Hearing this answer, the old man clapped his hands excitedly and said,"Looks like it's him! Let me tell you, this unit is different from the average unit! He's the pride of our Lu Ye!”
"How is it different? Aren't these soldiers all like that?”The surrounding women pursed their lips when they heard this, expressing their disbelief.
"Don't you believe me? Half a month ago, there was a huge battle outside Luye County, did you know?”the old man said.
"Half a month ago? Was it the day the cannons were fired all night? I remember! That day, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep the entire night. I was afraid that the artillery shells would land in the county!”The women beside him said.
"Yes, I remember, but so what?”
"Didn't you notice anything unusual?" asked the old man. That night, the cannons were fired all night. Why didn't the Japanese rush over the next day?”
"That night, a few thousand Japanese soldiers invaded Luye. However, they encountered a unit called the 358th Regiment on the way. Both sides had an encounter. The soldiers of the 358th Regiment, led by Commander Chu Yunfei, fought fiercely with the Japanese army for a day and a night. In the end, they paid a painful price and wiped out the Japanese army's third regiment.”
"Let me tell you, Regiment 358 is the guardian angel of the people of the Lu Family. This is a troop that truly protects the people!”
The old man said this excitedly as if he knew everything.
Hearing this, the surrounding women exclaimed in disbelief.
"How do you know about these things?”
After saying that, the old man said with some excitement and some regret,"If this unit is really recruiting soldiers and is stationed in our wilderness, then it's really great news! It's a pity that my family doesn't have a son. Otherwise, I would definitely send him to this army and beat up the Japanese!”
The old man spoke passionately, but the middle-aged woman was disdainful. She rolled her eyes at the old man and pulled the young man away, muttering in a low voice,"Is there something wrong with this old man's mind?”
"In this day and age, there are still good people in Qiu Ba? What a joke! He just wants to trick my son into joining the army. I won't fall for it!”
"Jiangong, you can't join the army…They're all liars!”
Although the middle-aged woman's muttering was soft, the old man still heard it clearly.
When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he reacted and knocked the ground with his walking stick."The morals of the world are declining day by day, and the hearts of the people are no longer the same as before!”
The old man sighed and left with his walking stick. However, when he left, his back seemed so desolate.
The young man named Jiang Gong was dragged away by his mother, but he couldn't help but turn around to look at the old man with a strange look in his eyes.""Could it be…this is really a good troop?”
