Chapter 27: One sword and one knife!
"One two one, one two one."

"What are you looking at? Pay attention."

"Whoever doesn't take it seriously won't have dinner today."

On the training ground, Cun Yunsheng blew the whistle, shouted commands, and cursed from time to time.

After two days of training, the team's morale has improved a lot.

Especially with sufficient nutrition and brand new uniforms, the whole team no longer looks as lazy as before.

At least it looks much better and can be used as an elite when pulled out.

"Left left, left left, left left."

"Pay attention to the commands and adjust your steps."

"Bean cake, don't mess around, just follow my instructions."

Cun Yunsheng's voice echoed throughout the entire training ground. Every soldier was sweating profusely, but no one dared to complain.

"Sing with me, Qi Zheng Piao Piao, Ma Zheng Xiao Xiao."

“The flags are fluttering, the horses are galloping.

Gun on shoulder, knife on waist, blood rushing like a raging tide.

Good man, good man, good man, the country’s reward is today.

Get up quickly, don't be an old sick man;
Let’s unite quickly and don’t let others become scattered and ridiculed.

The country is destroyed and the family is broken, disaster is imminent.
To survive, you must sacrifice your head!"

The loud singing echoed throughout Zenda, causing the defeated soldiers who were registering at the registration office to subconsciously turn their heads and look at them.

Some people couldn't help but hum.

The most lively place in the entire Zenda these two days was the shelter. All the defeated soldiers knew that a generous commander had arrived.

When you join the army, you will be given resettlement allowance and back pay.

Those who joined the army first were given three months' back pay, while those who joined later received two and a half months' pay, and those who joined later received even less.

The defeated soldiers, who were originally hesitant, could no longer hold back and rushed to sign up.

They were afraid that if it was delayed any further, they would lose another half month’s military pay.

This tactic was indeed very effective. In less than two days, Cun Yunsheng's independent regiment grew from 500 people at the beginning to 1,800 people.

The originally spacious training ground was already packed with trainees.

Meng Fanle and others even suggested to suspend recruitment as there are already enough people.

But Cun Yunsheng said that it was not enough and asked him to continue recruiting, so there was an endless stream of defeated soldiers coming to the registration office to sign up every day.

"I didn't expect this officer to be so generous. He has sent out tens of thousands of dollars in the past few days. I haven't seen such a generous officer for a long time." A defeated soldier who was queuing looked at the long dragon-like team and sighed.

"Yeah, it's a pity that we hesitated for a moment, otherwise we could get an extra half month's salary, which is three dollars." The defeated soldier in the front line turned around and said with some heartache.

"Oh, I just found out about this. If I had known this earlier, I would have gotten an extra half month's salary and could have eaten more meat. I've been eating banana leaves these past few days and I'm almost sick of it. Those bastards above me haven't paid me for half a year. I've pawned everything I could. If they don't pay me again, I'll starve to death."

"Come on, forget it. Your regiment has been disbanded, and you still want to get paid? Dream on."

He wasn't embarrassed to be called out, and actually he didn't want to.

Who would have thought that after a battle, only a hundred or so people were left in a regiment. The superiors saw no need to reorganize the regiment and simply cancelled the regiment's number. He then became a guerrilla, running back and forth between various shelters to make a living.

"Brother, aren't we going back to the Yunnan Army?" After listening to what everyone said, a thin man pulled the arm of the man in front of him and asked in a low voice.

"No, I've found out that this team is also going to cross the river to kill the devils. Let's follow them to kill the devils." Dong Dao turned around and touched his younger brother Dong Jian, who was a head shorter than him, and said with a smile. "Okay, kill the devils and avenge our parents." Dong Jian nodded heavily.

The two brothers are now focused on killing the Japanese and taking revenge.

"Name." The one in charge of registration was Meng Fanle. His lame leg had not healed yet and he could not withstand the high-intensity training, so Cun Yunsheng kicked him over to be responsible for recruiting soldiers.

"Dong Dao, Yunnan Army." Dong Dao remained the same, silent and taciturn.

Meng Fanle glanced at the big knife behind him, nodded, and asked curiously.

"From the 60th Army?"

"Well, the one behind me is my younger brother, Dong Jian, also from the Yunnan Army." Dong Dao nodded, then pointed at Dong Jian behind him and spoke again.

"Okay, take the military uniforms, beddings, pots and pans and go over there." After Meng Fanle wrote down the names of the two people, he said patiently again.

His intuition told him that these two men were definitely not simple people, especially the big knife, which weighed at least 20 kilograms. The other party was carrying it on his back but breathing steadily, which showed that he was quite capable. This time he had found a treasure.

"Yes." Dong Dao didn't waste any words and took his brother to the other side.

This is where we provide haircuts, baths, distribution of military uniforms, bedding and other daily necessities.

"The Sichuan Army is really good. They distributed so many things." Dong Jian exclaimed in amazement as he smelled the cotton scent of the new bedding.

"Isn't it said that the Sichuan Army is relatively poor?"

He didn't know how to answer his brother's question, so he chose to remain silent.

On the other side, after training for a while, Cun Yunsheng handed over the training task to Lin Yi, who was promoted to the staff officer of the regiment.

That’s right. Cun Yunsheng still valued this top student very much and directly promoted him to regimental staff officer. Although he was not a leader, Lin Yi was still very touched.

Therefore, the training is very responsible, making the cannon fodder miserable.

"How is it? How many soldiers did you recruit today?" Basically every day, Cun Yunsheng would come to the recruiting office to inquire about the recruitment work.

Meng Fanle, who was sitting on the bench, was about to stand up and salute, but was held down by Cun Yunsheng, who signaled him not to stand up.

"There are two hundred people registered, and it is estimated that there will be about five hundred people today. You have almost recruited all the soldiers in Zenda." Meng Fanle reported while holding the roster.

"It's still early. I learned from the director of the shelter that there are about three to four thousand people in Zenda. This is only half of it." Cun Yunsheng shook his head, indicating that it was far from enough.

"As for the rest, I think you may not be able to recruit them." Meng Fan thought about it and said it out loud.

"What do you mean?" Now it was Cun Yunsheng's turn to be surprised.

"They are all old soldiers and ruffians. They just want to take some money and run away. The reason they didn't come to you is that they were scared by your reputation. Otherwise, they would have spent all your money long ago." Meng Fanle obviously knew the ins and outs of this and said with disdain.

"Huh?" This time Cun Yunsheng was even more confused. After Meng Fanle's explanation, he finally understood why there was the title of bad soldier here.

Some people specialize in defrauding people of resettlement fees, and then run away halfway with various reasons, or fall behind, and then continue to defraud after coming back.

This immediately made Cun Yunsheng speechless. The reason why these people didn't come here was because Cun Yunsheng was cruel enough and did some pre-war training.

In the past, people would be taken away directly after they registered.

It’s not like now, where everyone has to train and stand in line.

How could those old veterans possibly endure such hardship?

"Okay, we'll recruit for another two days. If we fail to recruit, we'll close it. More than 2,000 people is enough." Cun Yunsheng thought about it and felt that more than 2,000 people was enough.

"Okay, but Commander, we recruited two soldiers today. They are definitely elite. Their aura is different." Meng Fanle suddenly remembered something and said quickly.

"One is called Dong Dao, the other is called Dong Jian. Especially the one called Dong Dao, who was carrying a large sword weighing more than 20 kilograms and didn't say a word."
