There are not many people in Baoding, but only four. If it weren't for Baoding being close to Beijing, Tang Feng and others wouldn't have chosen this first stop here. There are not many people in the direct team going out, after all, there are still many tasks for them to do.

For example, protecting the safety of Wang Mingyu and others, such as protecting the safety of the base, etc. These tasks must be done by someone, and Wang Mingyu is not very at ease to do these things.

The people in the direct team can be said to be all talents, and they can play a huge role in many fields. This is why Wang Mingyu arranged people to look for special travel. At least the progress of special travel is relatively smooth now.

Tang Feng and others have traveled all over Hebei, Henan and other places in more than a month. Of course, they usually go straight to their destination. If they don’t find anyone, they will run directly to the next destination, and they will definitely not delay their trip along the way.

This time, there were ten teams sent out to find special voyages, one to each province in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, and one team was sent out in Northeast China. Because the Northeast is still very close to the destination, it has nothing to do even if it takes a longer time.

Because Tang Feng and others were too far apart in the division distance and did not carry high-power radio stations, it was not very convenient to connect.

Tang Feng didn't know at this moment that the special voyage of 2,000 people had gathered more than 200 people to Anton. All of these people were received by a special reception team and arranged to stay.

Wang Mingyu has been very busy recently. The army of more than 70,000 people was split into many units by Wang Mingyu. Among them, the semi-disabled soldiers were unified into one division. This division also had almost 20,000 people.

At the same time, with nearly 20,000 veterans over 45 years old, it can be said that the 18th Army currently has a normal number of only a little over 30,000. The veteran division and the disabled division were basically sent by Wang Mingyu to Inner Mongolia.

There, Wang Mingyu and his team are building a new large laboratory and the Ministry of Science and Technology. The National Defense University is mainly composed of teachers, while the Inner Mongolia area is basically based on research.

Wang Mingyu believes that with the increasing number of talents, China's strength will only become stronger and stronger. There are many difficulties in the early stage, but as long as you find a way to overcome it, there is nothing you can't overcome.

The support provided by the Chairman to Wang Mingyu is quite powerful. These two divisions are stationed in Inner Mongolia and have also been approved by the Central Military Commission. Their main task is to be responsible for the safety of the projects built by Wang Mingyu.

Although these veterans are not very good at fighting, they are definitely good at guarding the house and guarding the house, and the task is not very heavy, so Wang Mingyu feels that instead of supporting them for nothing, it is better to let them do something practical.

While they were guarding, Wang Mingyu also assigned them some things to raise, such as sheep, cattle and other livestock. Although these things look inconspicuous, they can actually almost spend their expenses. At least now it seems that Wang Mingyu thinks this method still works.

As long as the conditions are slightly better in the future, these problems will not be problems.

Tang Feng and others found a lot of people in Henan and other places. The number of people found by Tang Feng in one group has exceeded 200. Tang Feng felt that it would definitely not be far from Wang Mingyu's expectations.

However, what made Tang Feng a little depressed was that although many people reported their addresses, they were all empty now.

However, some soldiers actually became sociable after returning and lived together, so when they were looking for people, sometimes they could find a group of people, and sometimes they didn’t even have a personal shadow. This made Tang Feng and others a little depressed, and they slowly accepted this reality.

During the search process, Tang Feng heard the bad news, and some special brigade soldiers were forcibly recruited into the army during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Now they don’t know where they are. Some even have the death notices sent to their homes. Whenever they hear these news, Tang Feng’s fists are always clenched tightly.

It was a huge waste for these people to be a soldier. If the 18th Army had not been disbanded, at least they could conquer half of the country. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. These were their brothers. Some of them could only lie in the cold tombstones now. Who would remember that they were once a member of the Special Forces Brigade?

The army construction on Wang Mingyu's side was in full swing, but Tang Feng and others' search process was quite bumpy. If it weren't for finding some people later and notifying some of their brothers passing by the city, Tang Feng and others would have at least been much slower.

After more than four months of long journey, the special brigade finally found a total of 1,100 people, of which 1,000 people came to the army, and some of the remaining people did not continue to join the 18th Army for various reasons. Tang Feng also expressed his understanding of this.

In fact, many people, Tang Feng had already seen their reluctance, but they still resolutely obeyed the call of the chief officer. When they came to the 18th Army, perhaps they were just for that belief and Wang Mingyu's attack order!

The special forces are probably going to become a special forces group now. It is a bit inappropriate to call it a voyage for a thousand people. Tang Feng has arrived in Hunan and is heading northeast. There are no trains in some places at all. They can only go slowly to places with trains and then transfer back and forth.

Wang Mingyu was quite satisfied with the number of people in the special voyage. At least half of them were able to recover, which made Wang Mingyu full of confidence in the future war. These are the sources of his confidence, and these are the basis of his confidence.

The 18th Army has thus officially entered the pre-war training state. Wang Mingyu's training volume is increasing every day. Although the increase is not very obvious, it has persisted for a long time. The quality of these soldiers has obviously made a qualitative leap.

The glory of the 18th Army was no longer the same. The 18th Army is now a brand new 18th Army, and most of these people are the original Eighth Route Army. In fact, they are also very familiar with the name of the 18th Army. So when they came here, basically no one dared to commit rash things.

Moreover, before coming, the leaders of Noji had actually made special explanations. Wang Mingyu was usually happy, but the military management was quite rigorous. The leaders of Noji also knew about this, so before coming here, the leaders of Noji had expressed their opinions on this issue.

The headquarters of the 18th Army is built in Andong on the Sino-North Korean border. This will be Wang Mingyu's combat command and military headquarters. The journey of the 18th Army has also begun slowly. (To be continued)
