"After the fierce battle with the Japanese Third Regiment, our 358th Regiment originally had more than 2500 veterans. There were many casualties in the battle, and now there are more than 1,350 people who are still recovering from their injuries!”Fang Ligong said.
"More than 1,300 people!" Chu Yunfei nodded and said," The remaining 1,000 people are all treasures. They are all experienced in combat. After the expansion, they will become the elite backbone of our 1st Independent Mixed Brigade!"”
"Yes, I am!" "With these people, we can expand our independent mixed brigade to at least seven or eight thousand people. It's not impossible for us to even have ten thousand people!"”
To them, expanding their forces was extremely important!
It meant that they would be promoted and that their soldiers would increase!
Therefore, many officers looked at Chu Yunfei expectantly.
"Recruit ten thousand people!"
Chu Yunfei's words shocked everyone.
"Oh my god!"
"This is more than a division of soldiers!”
"That's right, that's right!"
The officers said one after another. Their voices were filled with unconcealable excitement.
Gosh, this was 10,000 people!
Once the expansion was completed, wouldn't it mean that those who were originally company commanders could become battalion commanders, and those who were battalion commanders could become regiment commanders!
"Yes, since the commissioner has given us the name of an independent mixed brigade, then let's have a big one! Directly recruit 10,000 people!" Chu Yunfei said firmly.
It was already the end of July, and it had been a few days since the previous battle. Originally, Chu Yunfei planned to recruit as soon as possible, but because there was no order from the higher-ups, they could not recruit as many soldiers as they wanted. They could only camp in the wild.
Moreover, Chu Yunfei not only wanted to recruit 10,000 soldiers, but he also had more ambitions!
"Don't worry about that. I'll make a trip to Luye County and discuss it with the local county head. I think they'll cooperate with us!”Chu Yunfei said.
Since it was still early, Chu Yunfei didn't delay any further. He directly ordered Fang Ligong to prepare for the early conscription, and he led the guard platoon to ride towards Luye County.
Luye County was located in the northwestern part of Shanxi. This area could be said to be very chaotic. The local forces were complicated. Not only were there the regular army of the Public Welfare Party, but there was also the government of the Congress Party in the county. Their independent mixed regiment was stationed near Luye. As for Pingan County, which was hundreds of miles north of Luye County, it was controlled by the Japanese army.
It could be said that the entire Luye County was in chaos.
Of course, this was only temporary!
Chu Yunfei believed that once the independent mixed regiment completed its recruitment and training, the area within a hundred miles of Luye County and even the entire northwest of Shanxi would be under his control!
……
Speaking of which, although Luye was only a small county, there were quite a number of people.
There were many villages and towns surrounding Luye County City. The county city was bustling with activity and was very lively.
Logically speaking, the situation around Luye County was complicated. There should not be many people in the county. After all, with so many forces intertwined, it was really too difficult for ordinary people to survive in this kind of gap!
However, perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. It was precisely because of the complicated power here that it stimulated the economy of the county. Many businesses had opened branches here. In addition, the Japanese army was stationed in Ping 'an County, hundreds of miles away. Many people from the towns had moved to the city.
This also caused the number of people in the county to increase!
"Gah…Gah…"
At this moment, on the yellow soil not far from the city, there were more than 30 soldiers riding fast horses. The leader was a young man wearing a major general's uniform. The shiny golden star on his collar reflected the dazzling light under the sunlight.
On his left and right were guards.
After galloping for more than four hours, Chu Yunfei had already arrived outside Luye County by noon.
"Traveler, Luye County is not far away. We're almost there!”
A cavalryman rushed over from the opposite side. When he arrived in front of Chu Yunfei, he took a deep breath and said.
"Phew!"
Chu Yunfei pulled the reins and stopped his horse. He took out his binoculars and looked at the distant Luye County. He saw that there were people coming and going in the county. There were also a few soldiers carrying rifles guarding the entrance. There didn't seem to be any abnormalities.
He put down the binoculars and said to the soldier,""How is the situation in Luye County? Have you told the county magistrate?"
"Traveler, after entering the county, I wanted to look for the county head. However, when I was talking to the county head, the leader of the security guards suddenly barged in. I told the traveler that he wanted to see the county head, but the head of the security team cursed and chased me out!”
At this point, the warrior's face revealed a trace of hatred.
"You didn't tell the county head why we're here?”Hearing this, Chu Yunfei was stunned and continued.
The county head wanted to cooperate, but he had no choice because of the security regiment leader's coercion.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei's expression suddenly turned cold.
He really didn't expect that after he was promoted to a major general, he would be restricted by a small security regiment commander.
This made Chu Yunfei extremely angry!
"Let's go and take a look together. I want to see what kind of person this so-called leader of the Security Corps is!”
Chu Yunfei said coldly. Then, he raised the whip in his hand and drove the horse towards Luye County.
