Liang Xixian said happily: "Okay, as long as the commander takes action personally, Liu Zhenghong and the others will definitely welcome you warmly. You are the commander, so you will naturally not worry about those small things. We subordinates will do our best to do it."

Liang Xixian's matter was finally settled. He was about to go out when a staff officer hurried in and reported: "The binding and supplies sent from the war zone have been here."

Li Qinglin was overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect the war zone to move so quickly this time. Director Liang, please ask someone, who helped us at the war zone headquarters this time, we must thank him."

In the sequence of the National Army, if a unit suffers more than one-third of the casualties, it will definitely retreat to the rear for rest. If more than half of the casualties are killed or killed, except for the main force of the direct line, teams like the Ninth Detachment may be reorganized by other troops. After the battle of Qingcaopo, nearly one-third of the casualties of the Ninth Detachment have been added in such a short period of time. On the one hand, it may be that the war zone believes that this unit still needs to exist and must strengthen its strength. On the other hand, it may be that someone behind it gave strong support. Li Qinglin judged that it is likely that Liu Changda's cousin Liu Changyun and Luo Dafu's cousin Chen Tao were operating behind the scenes. Therefore, he wanted to repay his kindness and give the two some benefits.

Liang Xixian nodded and said, "Yes, the commander is right. We all want to go there. We really have to thank our superiors for their care in the future."

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "Director Liang, let's go and see the new recruits first."

Liang Xixian also said with great enthusiasm: "Yes, new comrades are here, we should go and see them."

The two went out to walk to the place where the recruits gathered. People continued to join their team along the way. After all, this was a good thing and everyone wanted to join in the fun.

The place where the recruits gathered was on a playground next to the headquarters. It is currently the training ground for the daily training of non-combatants in the headquarters. It is now a temporary gathering point. The recruits are all concentrated on the playground. Some early-arriving officers and soldiers were surrounding them and talking about something.

When the commander came, everyone naturally made a way out and let Li Qinglin and others walk in.

A major leading the team saw that Li Qinglin and Li Qinglin were on the rank of colonel. He felt that this was very likely the highest commander in the local area, so he stood at attention, saluted and shouted: "Report to the commander, Xu Xuan, the commander of the recruit battalion, reported to you."

Li Qinglin returned the greeting and said, "Thank you for your hard work, and the recruits will be accepted by our headquarters. Please go to the headquarters to rest."

Xu Xuan left with Ding Goudan. Li Qinglin turned to look at the recruits and couldn't help but take a breath in his heart.

In fact, there had been telegrams in the war zone that they would add a battalion of new recruits, but now Li Qinglin had observed that there were absolutely no more than two hundred recruits gathered on the playground, and these two hundred people were not considered the standard of "strong men".

Since the National Government promulgated the "Military Service Law", all counties have established military service departments. The officials of these military service departments are responsible for the recruitment of the strong men. The National Government also has certain requirements for the health of the strong men. But can these people in front of us be considered "strong men"? According to ordinary people, these people are not as appropriate as calling Huazi.

These strong men were standing at the scene. Li Qinglin saw from the beginning and found that the military uniforms of these people were tattered, dirty, yellow and thin, and even thin. Some soldiers were like bones covered with human skin. They stood in the team, and seemed to be about to die. If his eyes were not still rolling, Li Qinglin even doubted whether he was still supporting his life in one breath.

Li Qinglin originally wanted to make a passionate speech, but now seeing this scene, he sighed and said to Liu Changda behind him: "You go and arrange it and let the kitchen team make some batter and other things for them to eat. You must say hello to the kitchen team. Eat thin today, eat half-dry and half-sparse tomorrow, and eat dry ones the day after tomorrow. Try to put less oil and water in these three days. Especially today, these people can only eat 80% full, and don't let them eat with their belly open."

"Commander, how could these people look so thin? Can such soldiers fight?" Liu Changda said.

Li Qinglin smiled bitterly and said, "They sent such strong men. What can they do if they can't fight? I guess they haven't eaten enough for about a month. Now they can only take care of them slowly and then train."

Liang Xixian said: "Although there are many tricks in recruiting troops in the rear, it is not enough to use people who are inferior to beggars to count? What the hell is the war zone doing?"

Li Qinglin said: "Director Liang, you have never been arrested for a strong man. I don't know the mystery. You will know what's going on after you understand it among them later."

Seeing Liang Xixian turning around and leaving, Li Qinglin continued, "Director Liang, it seems that the matter of going to Nan'an Township is to set it back. The most urgent thing in front of us is to settle this group of new recruits first. You should immediately find some people to boil some hot water, and then ask the health soldiers to come over. After these people are ready to eat, they should immediately get their personal hygiene, and then let the health soldiers check it, and treat those who are sick. In the first three days, they will eat, sleep and eat, and recover their vitality first, and then slowly resume training after three days. Since they have come here alive, we must not let them have non-combat casualties, and we must make them all qualified soldiers."

It was lunch time, and it was logical that Li Qinglin should go to the headquarters to accompany Xu Xuan, the battalion commander who was escorting the recruits. However, seeing that the recruits sent were so unbearable, Li Qinglin was angry, so he asked Liang Xixian and the others to accompany him. He ran to Luo Dafu to check the ammunition supplies sent behind him.

Luo Dafu now manages several warehouses, including ammunition, clothing, etc. This time, the war zone sent a logistics squadron to Qinghe with the new recruits. The logistics squadron had more than 100 mules and horses, and there were quite a lot of ammunition. Some mortar shells were sent. Li Qinglin finally breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

The soldiers of the baggage squadron were having dinner in the open space, and Luo Dafu was accompanying him to drink. Seeing that Li Qinglin was coming, Luo Dafu quickly invited him to take his seat. This time, Li Qinglin did not refuse. He sat in the seat and accompanied each of the officers of the baggage squadron who transported ammunition to drink a glass of wine.

After the meal, Li Qinglin said to Luo Dafu: "When you ask someone to send some military uniforms to the recruits, my soldiers will be like a soldier, and they must not be worse than beggars."

Luo Dafu immediately stood at attention and said, "Commander, we have already ordered and counted. The military uniforms have been packed, and I will send them later."

Li Qinglin patted his shoulder and said, "Director Luo, you're doing a good job. If there are more officers like you, I will worry less about it."

Sometimes the praise of the superior is more effective than the incentive for money. Luo Dafu was excited. He raised his chest and shouted loudly: "Thank you, the superior, for your cultivation. I will do my best to live up to the superior's high expectations."
