"Are you sure you didn't exaggerate a word just now!" The group leader's eyes turned red as he stared at Zhang Yu, and his eyeballs remained motionless, fearing that he would miss every word he said next.
"I'm not leaving, I want to stay and join the Red Army!" Before Zhang Yu could answer, a group of angry shouts rang out not far away, instantly attracting the leader's attention.
"I want to stay too, and I won't work for the landlord or the old man until I die!" Another prisoner stood up and shouted.
"The worst case scenario is death. Anyway, I've already died once. The Red Army officer is right. Rather than being a dog to those wealthy landlords, it's better to be a Red Army soldier. Next time you encounter those wealthy landlords, you should kill them and take revenge!"
"I want to join the Red Army...I will fight to the death!"
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the more than twenty prisoners stood up.
Zhang Yu's expression was much calmer. The sixteen prisoners who had already joined the Red Army made him feel confident and he had already realized this result.
The group leader was different, with his mouth open and a look of shock on his face, staring dumbly at the scene not far away that made people's blood boil.
"Haozi is just a doll, how did he do it!" After a long time, the group leader realized what he was doing and stared at Zhang Yu and asked.
"I only found out about it an hour ago, and without thinking much, I handed over all the twenty-odd prisoners I just obtained to him, and asked the instructor to fully cooperate with him and learn from it!" Zhang Yu replied quickly.
Worried that the regiment leader would have some misunderstanding, he explained: "The casualties of the troops are too great, and they have been moving to war. If we want to recruit new soldiers to replenish the troops, I don't know how many years and months it will take!"
"Moreover, the newly recruited recruits have not received any training, and we do not have time to train them. If we send them to the battlefield rashly, we will die!"
"These prisoners are different. They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. They can go to the battlefield by replenishing the troops. This alone is incomparable to the new recruits!"
"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, I rashly decided to let Haozi use his method to mobilize a large number of them to join our Red Army and replenish the troops without the consent of the regiment headquarters. If I make a mistake and violate the policy, I am willing to accept any instructions from the regiment headquarters.
Punishment!"
"Punishment, what's the point of punishing it!" the group leader denied without hesitation.
"Zhang Yu, let me tell you, not only will I not punish Li, I will also report merit to your superiors..."
"There is also Haozi who wants to repay his merits... The current situation does not allow it. When the situation improves, I will at least get a third-class meritorious service for Haozi!"
"With just one mouth, I can forcefully persuade so many prisoners to join our Red Army. Not only can I not do it, not even the political commissar can do it!"
"I have decided that from now on, all the new recruits in the regiment will be gathered at the regiment headquarters. Haozi and the old squad leader will also go to the regiment headquarters together. I will set up a prisoner company with the old squad leader as the head to specifically accommodate and mobilize us to capture prisoners on the battlefield.
The prisoners who arrived~"
Zhang Yu became anxious and quickly objected: "Captain, I don't agree~"
"You are just picking peaches. If all the prisoners we worked so hard to capture are sent to the regiment headquarters, even if they are all willing to join the Red Army, less than ten of them will be assigned to our second company in the end!"
"There are also Haozi and the old squad leader. After they go to the regiment headquarters, what will happen to the Second Company?"
"Moreover, Haozi promised those captive soldiers who are willing to join the Red Army that after joining the Red Army, they will be given a meal of meat every two days. Many prisoners are eager to join the Red Army because they focus on that nutritious meal!"
"If Haozi and the old squad leader are transferred away, and those captive soldiers do not get meat, they will definitely say that our Red Army does not keep its word, which will affect the morale and morale of the army!"
The regiment leader was not angry. He looked at the scene not far away of Li Hao standing in front of the prisoners with his fists raised for mobilization. He answered with a serious face, without any tone of discussion.
"I have to transfer Haozi and the old squad leader!"
Seeing that Zhang Yu was anxious to object again, the group leader waved his hand to shut him up, and then explained: "The old squad leader, and Hao Zi, both of them are very capable people, don't you think it's better to put them aside between the two of you?"
Isn’t that too incompetent?”
"If the two of you continue to stay in the Second Company, only your Second Company will benefit, which will affect the Second Company's combat effectiveness!"
"It's different when you get to the regiment headquarters. The platform of the regiment headquarters is high, and the entire Thirty-Seventh Regiment will be affected by two people."
"Zhang Yu, tell me, which one is more important, the entire Thirty-seventh Regiment or you, the Second Company!"
Seeing that Zhang Yu was silent, the regiment leader continued to explain: "There are also those captive soldiers who are willing to join our Red Army~"
"How many veterans do you have left in the second company? If you add more than thirty captive soldiers at once, aren't you afraid of choking to death and affecting the combat effectiveness of the unit?"
"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops and the morale of those new recruits, your second company can only recruit ten new recruits at most. The ratio of veterans to new recruits must not be less than three to one."
"As for what you said about eating meat once every two days, that's not a problem at all!"
"After the prisoner company is established and Haozi has manpower, he will definitely be able to find ways to catch more fish and prey, ensuring that every soldier in the regiment has a meal of fish in two days!"
"Even if we can't get it, we can still buy it with money!"
"Zhang Yu, tell me, is it better for the whole group to eat meat together or for you two to eat alone?"
"Even if Haozi can't eat one meal of meat every two days, I believe Haozi can definitely do it if he can eat one meal of meat every three days!"
Zhang Yu stopped talking.
What the group leader said was absolutely true, leaving him without any reason to refute.
However, he was unwilling to let Li Hao and the old monitor go.
The abilities of the old squad leader and Haozi are too strong. Although there are only two of them, as long as they are in the second company, the overall combat effectiveness of the second company will be improved to a higher level.
After hesitating for a minute, he decided to make one last attempt.
"Captain, if you set up a prisoner company in the regiment and mobilize a large number of prisoners to join our Red Army, you won't worry about the superiors saying that we have bad intentions and affect the purity of the Red Army!"
The leader frowned, but quickly made a decision: "I can't control that much!"
"The troops have suffered so many casualties. Without new recruits to replenish the troops, the troops will be exhausted."
"I don't believe that our superiors would rather see our thirty-seventh regiment destroyed than allow us to replenish our captives!"
"Furthermore, at the Zunyi Conference a few months ago, the three-man regiment had been replaced, and Commissar Mao returned to command the Red Army. I believe Comrade Mao and the others!"
"I don't want the prisoners who have been separated from the second company. The prisoners who have not been separated from the previous ones will not be taken away from now on. Your second company does not have such a big appetite and cannot eat so many prisoners!"
"Now go to your instructor and the old squad leader immediately to determine the new cooking squad leader, and then ask the old squad leader and Haozi to stand by."
"I will go back to the regiment headquarters now to discuss this matter with the political commissar and chief of staff. By nightfall at the latest, the regiment headquarters' transfer order will come down. Zhang Yu, you must carry it out and let him go unconditionally!"
Zhang Yu replied with a heartbroken look on his face: "Captain, please rest assured, I promise to carry out the order!"
