After Village Chief Zhao finished speaking, he turned to look at his son, Zhao Yansong, and said,"Remember, don't embarrass the Zhao family. You must fight the Japanese properly.”
Zhao Yansong kneeled on the ground." Father, please forgive this child for being unfilial. From now on, this child will not be able to support you in your old age!"”
"Yan Song, you can leave!"
Village Chief Zhao reached out and touched Zhao Yansong's head. For a moment, tears flowed down his face. This was his son.
The atmosphere infected everyone present. One by one, the young people knelt down and kowtowed to their parents. Then, they turned around and stood behind Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo did not say anything. He just cupped his hands towards the commoners one by one.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, the people left. Wives, old fathers, old mothers, and so on watched their husbands, sons, and brothers leave. For a moment, they were filled with sadness.
Zhou Weiguo brought them away. Not only did he take away the original eighty bandits, but he also took away more than one hundred and eighty young men from Zhao Village.
The next morning, Zhou Weiguo brought them back to Clear Wind Camp.
Zhou Weiguo stood in front of the gate of Clear Wind Camp and looked at the words 'Clear Wind Camp' for a long time.
"Brother, go in!"
Zhu Ziming stood behind Zhou Weiguo and said softly.
"Back then, we were chased out of here by the Japanese army, and now we're back. Since that's the case, let's start from here!”
Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath and said.
"Let's go! Back to the village!"
Zhou Weiguo and the others returned to Clear Wind Camp. In the afternoon, Li Wu, Sun Fugui, and Zhao Shoutian also returned with their own troops.
This time, not only did they bring back their main force, but they also brought back more than a hundred other bandits. These bandits were all bandits from other mountains in Laiyang. They had all been subdued by Li Wu and the others.
When they came back, they also knew that Zhou Weiguo was the colonel of the national army. They also knew that their Chief had decided to fight the devils with Zhou Weiguo.
"Let's talk about it later! I was wondering why the Second Leader was so good at fighting the devils. So he is the colonel of the national army. From now on, we are also members of the national army.”
Li Wu, this damned fatty, immediately grinned. In the past, they were bandits. Now, didn't that mean that they had become regular soldiers and people of the government? They were also officials.
Just as Li Wu was laughing in the hall, Zhou Weiguo walked in from outside.
"What are you laughing at? Looking at you, I almost gave you a fresh flower to be your groom.”
Zhou Weiguo patted his head and rolled his eyes.
"Brother, all the brothers are with you now. Come, sit here!”
Zhu Ziming beckoned Zhou Weiguo to sit in his previous seat.
"No need, brother. Sit down. We're brothers!”
Zhou Weiguo rubbed his hands and laughed.
"Haha! That's right! We're brothers! However, this seat is yours now. From now on, you are the Guild Leader, and we are all your people. Don't have any other thoughts. Come on! Sit on it!"
Zhu Ziming pressed Zhou Weiguo down on that spot.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and looked at the bandits."In that case, I won't stand on ceremony.”
"Second Leader, why are you being so polite? We brothers are like brothers, why do you care about this? If the boss asks you to sit, then sit! We're brothers, and you're treating us as outsiders!"
Sun Fugui liked to make a fuss. Compared to Li Wu, they were the two kings of Clear Wind Camp.
Zhou Weiguo talked to them for a while before looking at them with a serious expression and saying,""Alright! Do you know why I returned to Clear Wind Camp this time?”
The people below looked at each other without saying a word. If they had such intelligence, they wouldn't have been bandits all this time.
"You don't know? Since that's the case, let me say it! Now that we have guns in our hands, we can have as many as we want. But there was no one. Just now, I calculated that my big brother and I brought back 278 people from Zhao Village, while Li Wu, Sun Fugui, and Shoutian brought back a total of 300 people. In total, there were about 600 people.
600 men was neither too many nor too few, but if they wanted to do something big against the Japanese, this amount of troops was not enough. Therefore, what we need to do now is to recruit soldiers and expand our troops.”
Zhou Weiguo turned to Xu Hu and said,""Xu Hu, from now on, you will be in charge of the training of the entire army. Don't save your ammo. You must have live ammunition training every day.
I don't want to see the report of how much ammunition you consume every day. What I want is results. Train them in the shortest time possible!”
"Yes, sir! Please rest assured, Regiment Commander. I will definitely train them in the shortest time possible!”
Xu Hu, who usually liked to talk nonsense, also said loudly with a serious expression at this moment.
Zhou Weiguo nodded and then looked at Li Wu, Zhao Shoutian, and Sun Fugui.""Li Wu, Fugui, Shoutian, from now on, your mission is to recruit soldiers. Go to all the villages and recruit young and strong people who are above the age of eighteen and below the age of thirty. Then, secretly bring them back to Clear Wind Camp. Remember, don't let the Japanese find out!”
"Second Leader, don't worry! Our brothers guarantee that this matter will be handled properly for you!”
Li Wu looked at Zhou Weiguo and said loudly.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, then looked at Zhu Ziming and said,"Big brother, I need you to do this. Pick a group of smart brothers. Didn't we seize a lot of money from the Japanese?
Send people to take this money to buy food in the major villages and towns. Remember not to buy too much at once. We'll buy them in batches. Our next step is to recruit soldiers. We can't do without food.”
"Good! Brother, don't worry! I promise to settle this matter."
Zhou Weiguo nodded and looked at them.""Hurry up and do it! The Japanese don't have much time left for us!”
Everyone left, including Zhu Ziming.
Just as everyone was about to start working, what they didn't know was that a small round hole had suddenly opened up in the ground a few kilometers away from Clear Wind Camp.
Then, people started to crawl out from inside.
These people were dressed in ordinary civilian clothes and were about 1.8 meters tall. They all had firm expressions on their faces. After coming out of the underground, they did not delay much and directly spread out.
Moreover, people were still coming out of this small round hole.
In fact, these were the clones created by the alien base. Zhou Weiguo had the base implant military knowledge into them. They would be the officers of the first regiment prepared by Zhou Weiguo.
To be honest, recruiting soldiers was easy! It was the officers who were the hardest!
Whether or not a troop had a strong fighting force was not just a matter of the soldiers 'fighting quality, nor was it just about the weapons and equipment. It was also a matter of whether the officers had the ability to lead the troops.
Right now, he did not have many talented people under him. He had almost started from scratch. He was prepared to let Li Wu and the others become battalion commanders, but they still needed more training. Moreover, he should also give them lessons.
The company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader were all important!
