Chapter 86 Recruiting and Training

Hu Bin was chewing with steamed buns. A soldier saw it and took a bowl of porridge for Hu Bin and handed it to Hu Bin. The porridge had already been cold at this time.

At this moment, the young and middle-aged people in Lujia Village came. They surrounded them and looked at the Eighth Route Army soldiers, and they didn't speak. Hu Bin saw them, and he didn't speak.

Now he didn't want to say anything. In order to protect the people, 200 of them came over and there were 73 left. There were less than 30 of them standing here. In 2 days, 200 people made up this way.

When the soldiers saw them, they didn't say anything, but just ate with steamed buns and porridge. The people stood there, looking at them, and did not dare to disturb the soldiers, because they saw that there were many bodies of Eighth Route Army soldiers lying at the entrance of the village, and outside the village, the bodies of the Japanese were everywhere.

After finishing eating, Hu Bin took out a cigarette, lit one, then climbed onto the low wall at the entrance of the village, squatted there, looking outside, there were three cars parked outside, probably loaded with arms.

"Brother Bin, should I send a telegram to the battalion commander?" A telegrapher with an arm hanging on his strap asked when he saw Hu Bin.

When the battle was fierce, the two of them rushed out with guns and fought with the Japanese. Fortunately, neither of them had any major problems.

"Send it, tell them that we are fighting with the Japanese in Lujiagou and annihilate all the invading Japanese. I don't know how many of them are. I sacrificed more than 100 people in a row, and there are 73 living people left. Others, well, tell them that there are not many Japanese in the county town. In recent days, Japanese in the county town have dared not come out, just like that!" Hu Bin squatted on the wall and said.

At this time, the soldiers finished their meal and began to clean up the bodies of their comrades, and then carried them to a small wasteland next to the village. The soldiers wanted to bury the bodies of the soldiers.

The people also came to help, packed up their weapons, put them in a pile, then dug the pits, lifted the Japanese corpses, threw them into the pit, and then began to bury them. It was not until the evening that they were buried.

Later, Hu Bin arrived in a house and wanted to ask the battalion headquarters if his troops could go back. What he didn't know was that after the regiment commander and others knew that Hu Bin killed the Japanese, they would report to the brigade commander immediately.

When the brigade commander heard this, he immediately asked Hu Bin to lead the troops there to develop, and appointed Hu Bin as the company commander, Ye Xianteng as the instructor, Xie Shousheng as the deputy company commander, and the brigade commander asked Hu Bin to lead the troops to develop in the south of Liuye County.

After seeing the telegram, Hu Bin sighed. He had never thought about being a company commander at all. However, if he was not a company commander here, he would not be able to be a company commander. If other people are a company commander, he would not be able to let go of his hands at all, especially in the plains where the Japanese would attack at any time. If he was not a company commander, the veterans would not be relieved.

"Company Commander Hu, Company Commander Hu!" At this time, a voice came from the door. Hu Bin looked up and found that it was the patriarch of Lujiagou. He retreated with the people yesterday morning and is back now.

"Oh, the old man is back, hurry up, come in and sit down!" Hu Bin immediately stood up and asked him to come in and sit down.

"Hey!" Clan Chief Lu brought a few young men in and sat in front of Hu Bin.

"Come on, drink water. I don't have anything else here." Hu Bin smiled and poured a glass of water for the old patriarch.

"Thank you, I apologize to you. I really didn't see it. When I came back, I heard the kids in the village say, Company Commander Hu, it's true that he is a dragon and a phoenix among people!" The old man said to Hu Bin.

"Ha, the old man has been awarded. I am not a big shot. There is no way. If the Japanese invade, someone must join the army to resist, right?" Hu Bin heard this, smiled bitterly, and said to the old man.

"That's the reason. I want to ask, are you going to leave? I heard that the Japanese dispatched hundreds of people this time, and they were all defeated by you. There should be not many Japanese in the county town, but the Japanese are still Japanese, and they have guns." Old Master Lu looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"Old man, do you mean we want to leave? Okay, let's take a break and leave tomorrow, and I won't bother you." Hu Bin said immediately.

"No, no, you misunderstood. We didn't want you to leave. We hope you can stay. Moreover, I also said at the beginning that if you defeat the Japanese, there will be many people joining the army in our village. This I will keep my word.

Over the past year, I have understood that there is no way out without war. Not to mention now, we go to the county town to sell something, and most of the money we sell was snatched away by the Japanese. As well as those puppet troops, we have been very sad this year.

As for the situation in other villages two days ago, I also knew that those Japanese were not humans, but animals. Corps Hu, I would like to ask you to stay in our Lujiagou. I know, if you leave you, if the Japanese come, I will definitely not let the people in our Lujiagou go. But I am not confused yet. Even if we don’t leave you, the Japanese will not give us the people a way out.

Company Commander Hu, you are young and promising. All the young people in our village said that you should follow you and do not expect to make achievements. At least, you should protect the people in this area. Is it okay?" The old patriarch said to Hu Bin.

"This?" Hu Bin was a little surprised when he heard him say this. He did not expect that the old patriarch actually made a big turn of 180 degrees for himself.

"Company Commander Hu, don't worry, I dare not say anything else. Our village will definitely provide you with food. I know we need to eat food in war, and our village provides it!" The old patriarch saw Hu Bin hesitating there and said again.

"No, no, old patriarch, you misunderstood. We have to pay for the food, and we will not take the people for nothing. This is the discipline of our Eighth Route Army. We dare not take it!" Hu Bin waved his hand and said.

"Then, Company Commander Hu, do you mean to agree?" the old patriarch looked at Hu Bin and said.

"I agree, but, old man, I want to put it in front of it. War will kill people. You know what happened today. I brought 200 people here. Two days later, there are only about 70 people left. Today we sent more than 10 seriously injured people back to the original army. Old man, in the future, the kids in your village may not be able to come back alive." Hu Bin said to the old man.

"I understand, I understand, don't worry, I know, there is no way to die in war. We understand this principle!" the old man nodded and said.

"Sure, then if that's the case, I agree to recruit soldiers in your village!" Hu Bin nodded and said when he heard this.

"Oh, thank you Company Commander Hu, thank you!" The old man said thankfully when he heard Hu Bin agree.

On the county side, Song Guan Youyong was very depressed at this time. He just received a telegram from the brigade commander. He had lost so much troops in just a few days. Now the brigade does not have so many troops, so there is no way to support him. On the brigade, they will be able to defend the county town at any cost. They cannot let the Eighth Route Army seize the county town. They must persist for more than two months. Only after two months can they have troops to come to support.

After seeing the telegram, Songguan Youyong was so depressed that he only had two small teams of soldiers stayed in the county town staring by two Eighth Route Regiments. He felt that he did not have the ability, but the brigade commander had already made it clear in the telegram that he had to hold on for two months before they could come to support after the attacking troops came back.

"Baga, more than 500 people, and so many Imperial Army troops, none of them came back. Is Murakami a pig? Such troops are easy to deal with a battalion in China, and they can't defeat about 200 Eighth Route Army soldiers. I'm so angry!" Songguan Youyong shouted with the telegram.

"Hi, Murakami, our troops have been suffering from losses since we arrived here. Fortunately, you are fine!" At this time, a small team leader lowered his head and said to Songguan Youyong.

"Yoxi, fortunately, the Eighth Route Army did not attack our county town this time, otherwise, I would probably become the third chief officer who was lost here in just one month, Baga!" Songguan Youyong said and cursed again. He had not figured it out yet. How could so many troops not beat those Eighth Route Army?

On the Third Battalion, at this time, many puppet troops came. They all said they wanted to be the Eighth Route Army, which made Wang Cong wonder whether the puppet troops had taken the wrong medicine.

When he heard that they were running from the south and didn't want to follow the Japanese, it was when the Eighth Route Army asked them to come here that Wang Cong realized that it was probably Hu Bin who asked them to come here, so he registered them.

Those soldiers cannot be placed in a company, they must be separated, and the instructors below must do their ideological work well. They cannot think of eating around like they did on the puppet army, and they will not shoot at all when fighting.

After settled the puppet troops, it was almost 2 a.m., and Hu Changgui also learned from the puppet troops that Hu Bin was fighting bravely there, and he was also happy that his company had 80 puppet troops. Therefore, Hu Changgui knew about what happened during the day today.

"Are you arranged?" Hu Changgui asked with a smile after seeing Yuan Yu come in.

"Well, the arrangement is done. I have to say that Xiaobin did the right thing this time. Letting the puppet troops come to our side can increase our strength. Don't underestimate them. They are already from the Jinsui Army, some of them are from the regular troops. Later, they were disbanded and surrendered to the Japanese. However, they still had two moves in their hands, but they were just to correct their thoughts!" Yuan Yu said to Hu Changgui with a smile.
