"Today is a great day for the establishment of the Militia Corps of our Eighth Route Army Assault Corps. Here, on behalf of the Eighth Route Army Assault Corps, I would like to thank you for your strong support... Thank you!"

On the empty fields, a thousand militiamen and the people brought by Li Jing sat down below. The surroundings were all villagers from Majiapo Village watching, while Li Jing and several persons in charge sat on the temporary rostrum... After several days of hard work, the villagers' impression of Li Jing and others has greatly improved.

In just a few days, the villagers went from hatred and indifference to their current support. It can be said that not only the magnanimity of the villagers, but also the efforts of Li Jing and others. Of course, in some ways, this is also caused by the pressure brought by the Japanese, forcing everyone to give up their previous grudges and prevent their descendants from being enslaved, so as to unite and fight the Japanese.

Li Jing, who was talking at this time, seemed a little excited: his face was filled with an excited smile, and his eyes were flashing with excitement, as if he had won a huge prize. He could not control his inner excitement and expressed this excitement on his face.

Thinking about it, Li Jing finally started from scratch and formed a team, but then he had to be restricted by the situation at that time: not only was he worried about being wiped out by the official army at any time, but he also carefully controlled his subordinates to no more than 300. Once he exceeded, he would definitely be seized by the official army with all his might. Once he lost the stronghold of Pigeon Mountain and this team, he would definitely be miserable.

However, first, I contacted the guerrillas and interacted with them based on the principle of leaving a way out. If I failed that day, joining the guerrillas would be a way out, right? Later, I contacted the assault regiment, and later joined the assault regiment and became the battalion commander of the fifth battalion of the assault regiment.

Now, he can actually control so many soldiers. This is something he dared to imagine in his dreams before, but now it has become a fact: all militias and guerrillas in the three counties, including the first and second companies of the Second Battalion that were disturbed behind the Japanese camp, if they really had to launch their full strength, the total number of people would definitely exceed ten thousand.

Every woman has a dream of a fairy, and every man has a dream of a general!

So many people, whether in ancient times or now, can only be commanded by generals. Although it is only temporary; although I know that these people and horses obey their commands, they belong to the Party and the army; although so many people and horses are of no different nature from the two hundred people at that time; although I know that these people and horses will disperse afterwards, I will become the battalion commander of the Fifth Battalion again; although I know that these tens of thousands of people can only be considered semi-military stops at most and cannot be compared with the real army... However, after all, I have commanded so many people, which is definitely the most proud moment in my life.

What's more, Li Jing felt that although it was only temporary to master so many people, he practiced and adapted in advance to truly master so many troops in the future. Because he firmly believed that he was not far from this dream that he had started since childhood: he was already a battalion commander, is he still far from the regiment commander? It takes three to five years to seven to eight years to the slowest, and even ten years to ten years, he can definitely become the regiment commander.

"Ba!Ba!Ba..."

While feeling that he had gone the right path, Li Jing subconsciously applauded, but the applause below immediately woke him up, but it also made him firmly believe that he must seize this opportunity. Perhaps, this is the last time he has been a general in his life. If he missed it, he will really be gone, so he can only seize it tightly.

"Next, I will read the appointment letter!"

Li Jing took a large piece of paper from Ergazi and said, "I am appointing Comrade Li Jing as the captain of the militia brigade under the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment... Comrade Wang Zhongjun is appointing the first deputy captain of the militia brigade and the squadron of the first militia brigade under the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment... Comrade Tian Dajun is appointing the deputy captain of the militia brigade and the squadron of the second militia brigade... Comrade Peng Guofa is appointing the squadron of the third squadron of the Militia brigade under the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment... Comrade Zhang Mingfa is appointing the chief of staff of the militia brigade under the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment... Comrade Ma Hongji is appointing the deputy chief of staff of the militia brigade under the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment..."

To be honest, Zhang Mingfa, Ma Hongji, and several highly respected villages, were all appointed as deputy chiefs of staff. These appointments were actually Li Jing's own decisions. Otherwise, who had ever heard of a local militia that even had a chief of staff and nine deputy chiefs of staff, but there was not even a serious chief of staff. This was really strange and strange.

But, whether strange or not, existence makes sense in the face of reality.

The reason for this is mainly to unite everyone, because he understands the ideas of these local tyrants from various villages: they need to be shameful. Especially in such a major public occasion, they naturally value face more.

These people actually knew in their hearts that although they were highly respected, on the other hand, most of those who were highly respected were old people. They could neither carry guns nor fight to fight the enemy with their own hands. At most, they would sit in the back and give some ideas. However, they basically knew nothing about military affairs, so they knew in their hearts that this was just a false title, which was regarded as a false title, which was regarded as a false title, and to be blunt, to make them support everyone in unison to fight against the war, and even to be honest, it was a special vain position for them to set up a special vain position to make them support the war of resistance. No! To be precise, even if they did not support them fully, they only needed to acquiesce to support the war of resistance, or even to make bad things behind their backs.

You should know that once these people stand up publicly to object, they will have a certain deterrent force on the villages below them, which will greatly hinder the villagers' enthusiasm for fighting the Japanese.

Therefore, Li Jing's decision at the moment is actually very reasonable, and it also reflects his scheming in dealing with people. To be more precise, it is also one of the reasons why Zhang Qingshan valued his former identity as a Green Forest person at that time. Otherwise, if someone who does not understand these human feelings and worldly ways, especially those who do not understand the various tricks here do this, they may laugh and agree in person, and if they turn around, they will stumbling, or even directly make a bad move, which will definitely make you half the result with twice the effort.

The absence of a political commissar was not an omission or the incident happened suddenly, but because everyone knew that this militia corps was only temporary, and its main purpose was to deal with the destruction of the troops sent by the Japanese to the surrounding areas of Sanqiao County... In some ways, only the captain can be revoked at any time, but once there is a political commissar, the meaning will be different.

In private, there is actually a political commissar who has not been pointed out, that is, the captain of the propaganda team, Sister Chen... Sister Chen had mobilized the mass transfer in Longfeng County, and then followed the team to do some work to settle the emotions of the masses. She is currently on the way to come. Even if she comes, her name is the captain of the propaganda team of the militia corps.

Then the captains appointed to the specific teams were appointed.

It is divided into three squadrons, with counties as units. The militias from any county are responsible for the squadron established by their own county.

The squads under the squadron are not only different in number, but some have as many as thirty squads, while others have only seventeen or eight squads.

This is mainly because the militias from each village form a small team, and the squad leader is also the militia captain or deputy captain of the original village. If the number of people is less than ten, all of them will be added to other teams...

This arrangement looks very chaotic, and the strength of each squadron also has a certain gap. It seems that it is definitely much weaker than the army's regulations based on a basically fixed number of people, and it is very similar to a mob.

But in fact, Li Jing's skill is also reflected in this point.

These selected militias are definitely much stronger than the rabble, and they are definitely semi-militarized organizations. Because at the beginning, Zhang Qingshan regarded these militias as the cornerstone of the military strength of the assault regiment, not only did they distribute the eliminated firearms to the militias, but also sent veterans to train militias within a fixed period of time - at least, they must be trained twice a month, and the training time is basically two days. There have even been several large-scale joint defense performances between villages and villages.

The purpose is obvious: Once a large-scale casualties occur in the assault regiment and urgently needs to be replenished, the elites selected from these militias can be replenished directly, and the procedure for training new recruits is eliminated. Then, as long as a few battles are fought, they can become a qualified assault regiment soldier.

It is precisely because militias in each village often train together that they are basically either relatives or playmates who have grown up together since childhood. The tacit understanding between them is definitely better than that of ordinary people.

And this is destined to unify them together to form a single team, and their combat effectiveness is definitely much stronger than scattering them in a hurry. It is only because the number of elite militia selected by each village this time is different that some teams seem to be too large and some are too small. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is better than breaking up and reorganizing. After all, there is no time to plan and retrain, and this time it is only a temporary group, not fixed for a long time, just to deal with the Japanese war.

And this idea was actually the result of Li Jing's inadvertent inspiration.

At that time, he accidentally saw Ma Hongji's family motto hanging in the hall. Somehow, he remembered Zeng Guofan, and naturally he also thought of Zeng Guofan who started his business with the Hunan Army. When Zeng Guofan started his business, the soldiers recruited most valued by their relatives and friends. Because of this kind of relationship, it happened to be an old saying - brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers!

Not to mention the reasons for the deaths of relatives and friends, just say one thing: When you return to your hometown and face your uncle's inquiry, your cousin died in battle? In addition to nodding, you either remain silent or stand up and answer loudly, "Uncle, don't be sad. I cut off the enemy who killed my cousin with my own hands and avenge my cousin."

Think about it, which one will make you more face-saving?

Therefore, Li Jing was so determined to disrupt the organization of various villages and create such an extremely strange army.

After reading the appointment letter, he showed everyone the appointment letter signed with the names of Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze and Tian Guozhong, as well as the official seal of the assault regiment to prove its authenticity.

Then it’s about training and military discipline.
