Chapter 14
"Are you sure? Those people are Japanese?"
Zhao Wenbin looked at the document that Zhou Da handed to him and asked with a serious expression.
"Young Master, I've confirmed this. Currently, in the northeast region, the only intelligence personnel who are interested in us and are so bold are those from the Japanese.”
Zhou Da looked at Zhao Wenbin and said in a deep voice.
"A storm is coming!"
Zhao Wenbin sighed. As he spoke, he gathered the military coat he was wearing and took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his coat. He lit one for himself and put on his gloves again."Continue monitoring. At the same time, he had to think of ways to extend his intelligence tentacles to Fengtian.
That's where we should really pay attention to. As for New Capital City! There was no need to worry about it for the time being. The puppet government was just a puppet. There was no need to waste energy there.”
"Young Master, don't worry. After I go down, I'll do everything I can to extend my intelligence to Fengtian.”
Zhou Da said solemnly.
"En! You may leave!"
Zhao Wenbin waved his hand, and Zhou Da left. He walked back into the room and sat down slowly. His brows were tightly furrowed as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he picked up his military cap and tightened his coat. It couldn't be helped. Although it was only the end of November, it was already covered in snow. The temperature was dozens of degrees below zero, and it was freezing.
.....
In the military camp outside the city, a group of new recruits were running. They were wearing army green shirts and carrying a tree as thick as a basin on their shoulders.
"Hurry up! Didn't they eat? Did the dog eat all the meat and broth for lunch? Run faster. Remember, if anyone doesn't use force, I'll whip them.”
At this moment, Li Ergou, the company commander of the infantry company, was training his recruits on his training ground with a whip in his hand.
The previous 283 veterans were now all assigned to the various units. Some were like Li Ergou, the company commanders, and some were the deputy company commanders. There were also platoon leaders, deputy platoon leaders, and even class leaders.
In any case, those people from before were now training new recruits. They were all busy. The chefs who had come from the Great Eastern Ravine were also cooking, but they were not cooking for the entire army.
Instead, it was to cook for the military officers. These military officers were all old people who had come from the Great Eastern Ravine. They were already used to eating the food cooked by these chefs. They even missed the food cooked by them. In fact, for Zhao Wenbin, what they missed was the days when they were in the Great Eastern Ravine. They were reminiscing about those years.
Although that period of time was very tiring for them, they also lived a very fulfilling life. It would become a memory for the rest of their lives.
"Ergou, you brat, you're cursing again! I've already told you guys to train the soldiers, so be it, but don't scold them directly. Have you guys forgotten?”
Zhao Wenbin walked over and scolded Li Ergou with a smile.
"Hehe! Sir, this is training them! Tell them to work harder!"
Li Ergou really had the demeanor of a dog. He walked over like a lackey, took out a pack of cigarettes, and lit it for Zhao Wenbin.
"How is their physical fitness now?”
Zhao Wenbin turned to look at the soldiers who were sweating on the training ground and asked softly.
"In this one and a half month, their bodies have become much stronger. Some of them have already developed abdominal muscles. Back then, you said that one would only have abdominal muscles when their body started to become stronger. Therefore, many of the soldiers here have improved their physical fitness.
The intensity of their training had also increased during this period of time. In addition, he was still training hard in the aspect of fighting and stabbing.”
Li Ergou said as he looked at the soldiers.
"En! Have you used the communicators I trained you guys some time ago?”
As a graduate of the Military Command College, Zhao Wenbin naturally would not forget about the radio station.
From the beginning of the recruitment, he had planned to train a group of radio communicators. It wasn't too difficult to use the radio, so it didn't take long for him to train a batch of them. They had been distributed to the various infantry companies for command and communication.
"Sir, it's all in use. Don't worry!”
"En! Inform everyone that all company commanders and deputy company commanders are to come to the command center for a meeting tonight.”
Zhao Wenbin slowly took a puff of smoke.
"Good!"
..........
November 29th, night, Jidong County, Northeast Anti-Japanese Army Headquarters
The command center was not big, but it did not matter. Everything was still in its infancy!
A huge map of the northeast was hung on the wall, and there were 40 to 50 officers sitting below. They were all the company commanders and deputy company commanders under Zhao Wenbin.
"The main reason I called you here tonight is to discuss the upcoming war. According to the intelligence we have received, the Japanese intelligence agents have been appearing around our base frequently.
"So I'm sure that the Japanese definitely know about our existence. We can't hide here anymore. However, we have more than 4,000 soldiers in our hands. It's winter now. Even if the Japanese attack us, they won't send a large force. They will probably send a small force to attack us.
So now we have three missions. First, build a defensive position in the western part of Jidong County and wait for the Japanese to arrive.
Second, march into Jixi County and take it down.
Third, our army needs to expand again.”
When Zhao Wenbin said this, he stopped. He glanced at everyone and asked,"Now, all company commanders, come and report to me about the situation of the officers I asked you to train.
Li Ergou, as the first company commander, please explain the current situation. How many people have you selected to train? What happened?"
Training officers was something that Zhao Wenbin had never given up on. During this period of time, every three days, Li Ergou and the rest would have to spend half a day listening to Zhao Wenbin's lessons. After they returned, they still had to train the officers below and select a group of recruits to train and teach them how to read.
Zhao Wenbin also chose a group of people to teach. This group of people had to attend Zhao Wenbin's class every day.
"Sir, we have selected 16 recruits for training. The results are very good. I believe that after a period of time, they can become basic official officers!”
Li Ergou stood up and shouted.
"Sir, we have selected 15 new recruits for training. The results of the training are very good. In a while, they can become official basic officers.”
Second Company Commander Wang Tiedan also stood up and said loudly.
Immediately after, the other infantry companies also reported their own situation. Zhao Wenbin roughly calculated in his mind that there were more than 300 officers trained by each infantry company. With the addition of the hundred or so people he taught, he could carry out the next expansion of the army.
After the company commanders finished reporting, Zhao Wenbin looked at them and said,"Good! Li Ergou, Wang Tiedan, Huang Goudan…"
Zhao Wenbin called out the names of five company commanders.
"Here!"
"Tomorrow morning, you five infantry companies will immediately rush to Jixi County and destroy the Japanese squadron stationed there. Then, he immediately set up a recruitment point and began to recruit. The other infantry companies, starting tomorrow morning, immediately build a defensive line in the west of Jidong County to prepare for the upcoming battle!”
Zhao Wenbin said in a deep voice with a serious expression. He knew that even though the Japanese had not moved yet, it would be too late for him to make any arrangements when the Japanese moved.
