They are now trying every means to train more qualified officers. A grassroots officer who can lead troops to fight will play a huge role on the battlefield.

After Zhao Zhiguo heard Gao Cang's suggestion, he nodded: "Do you have a suitable candidate? Someone who is smart, preferably one who can read maps and be literate."

"There is one. When he comes back, I will arrange for him to come see you."

"Okay, after choosing the station, you must first decide where to live. My headquarters will be the same as the original layout."

Two days later, Gao Cang selected a station for Zhao Zhiguo. The station was located in a mountain village. Most of the people in the mountain village had fled the famine. Most of the people who stayed in the village were old people, who could barely survive on the barren soil.

.

The people in the village were more afraid than curious about the troops stationed in. The doors of every household were closed and they did not dare to go out easily.

"Captain, nine out of ten rooms in the village are empty. You have also seen the courtyard walls. They are all made of rocks. Behind the village is a stream, close to the water source. Walk along the path at the entrance of the village for a mile and a half to the main road. It takes about 10 minutes to run.

You can enter Wangxian County in half an hour."

After visiting the area for two days, Gao Cang felt that this place was good, but the local people were a little too wary of the troops.

"There are no less than two thousand people stationed in the village, right?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"I have investigated and found that there are fifty-two empty yards in the entire village. If a platoon is stationed in one yard, it will be enough for our group to live in. If necessary, we can build more houses."

"After the troops move in, we will help the fellow villagers renovate their houses. If the fellow villagers need help, we will provide help as much as possible. No personnel are allowed to step into the fellow villagers' homes without orders, and they are not allowed to harm any property of the fellow villagers' homes.

Including crops, after entering the village, what we have to do is to do nothing wrong. Anyone who dares to violate it will be killed directly without any mercy!"

Zhao Zhiguo felt that it was necessary to introduce the three major disciplines and eight points of attention to restrain the officers and soldiers under his command.

With the new station, Zhao Zhiguo of course had to tell Chu Jie. Chu Jie was not so strict with Zhao Zhiguo. Instead, he asked the communications corps to immediately lay the telephone line to Zhao Zhiguo's regiment headquarters, and assigned Zhao Zhiguo a fast horse, which was very fast.

You can get back to the division headquarters in twenty minutes.

Six days later, Zhao Zhiguo's soldiers returned home one by one, with the largest number of soldiers bringing back fifty people, which Zhao Zhiguo couldn't believe.

Zhao Zhiguo naturally wanted to cross-examine whether these soldiers were forced. It turned out that they were all voluntary, and they all knew the conditions of the army.

It took Takakura and Tian Kezhi a day and a night to register the new recruits. Including the veterans, they totaled more than 2,300 people.

"Captain, the house we prepared may not be enough!" Gao Cang did not expect that there would be so many people. "The company commander needs a separate room."

The platoon leader can sleep with the soldiers, but the company commander must have his own separate room.

"The weather is still hot now, and if we can't do it, let the soldiers sleep in the yard and pass on these orders." Zhao Zhiguo has written the three major disciplines and eight points of attention silently on the paper. "Every soldier is required to memorize it. This is

The discipline of our regiment stationed in the village."

"In all actions, follow the command and do not take advantage of the masses...Do not damage crops, do not molest women..." Gao Cang read it softly.

"Every night before going to bed, the officer takes the lead and leads the soldiers to read it three times. It will be memorized in a few days."

Stationed in a village, soldiers will inevitably do some extraordinary things with guns in their hands, and rules must be in place to restrain them.

When the people in the village saw that the troops stationed in the village had done no harm to them, the villagers gradually became less afraid.

In particular, Zhao Zhiguo took several officers to personally go to the homes of fellow villagers to help them repair their leaky houses, which made the fellow villagers in the village admire this unit with admiration.

And everything Zhao Zhiguo did was seen by the soldiers. The regiment leaders took the lead and kept their word, and they soldiers did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

In the village, the army and the people live in harmony.

However, in Wang County, the other two regiment commanders who arrived were a little dissatisfied with Zhao Zhiguo. They arrived late and were not familiar with the surrounding area. Zhao Zhiguo had taken away the good soldiers first. They could only drink soup, and naturally they felt unhappy.

Happy.

Chu Jie naturally knew what Zhao Zhiguo had done. Since Zhao Zhiguo had cooked the rice, it was hard for the division commander to say anything, especially since Zhao Zhiguo had replenished his troops in a short period of time, which was beyond his expectation.

, Chu Jie could only help smooth things over.

"Two regimental commanders, don't worry. It's better to send a batch of arms from Bingzhou, and I will give you two more machine guns."

The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and Commander Chu couldn't particularly favor Zhao Zhiguo, so he promised the two regiment leaders to give them two more machine guns to make up for the imbalance in their minds.

Anyway, Zhao Zhiguo has no shortage of machine guns, but the little devils have more than thirty crooked guns. Coupled with a batch of equipment recently allocated to them, the configuration of light and heavy firepower is second to none among the Shanxi-Sui Army.

The two regiment commanders gave up when they heard that they could get two more machine guns. Moreover, they heard that Commander Chu gave them all the soldiers of the security regiment. Zhao Zhiguo didn't ask for any of them, thinking that he had taken advantage, and the matter was over.

Don't argue with Zhao Zhiguo anymore.

However, the two regiments did not recruit full strength. Each regiment still had a shortfall of 500 troops, so the two regiment commanders directly ordered the arrest of young men. Chu Jie turned a blind eye to the matter of capturing young men. After all, the army needed

In a war, we can't just sacrifice those who volunteer to defend our country, right?

While the other two regiments were still worrying about their soldiers, Zhao Zhiguo had already begun training.

"Captain, Ning Wenbin is here!" Gao Cang led an officer into Zhao Zhiguo's headquarters.

Zhao Zhiguo was lying on the rocking chair, with his eyes closed and shaking his cattail leaf fan: "Can you read a map?"

"Report to the leader, I will take a look!"

"On the map, mark the location where our regiment is currently stationed." Zhao Zhiguo wanted to test the platoon leader.

Ning Wenbin quickly marked the location on the map.

"You have to work hard these two days. Take this map and mark out the surrounding villages. Record the errors on the map and give them to me!"

Although Wang County will not become an important battlefield, since he is stationed here, Zhao Zhiguo also needs to have a good understanding of the local terrain and inspect Ning Wenbin.

When he came, Gao Cang also specifically reminded Ning Wenbin. Ning Wenbi also knew that Zhao Zhiguo was testing him, so he quickly agreed and went out with the map.

"Captain, is Ning Wenbin okay?" Gao Cang asked.
