Just like that, there were fewer soldiers on the highway along the river every day. It was very strange!
Through this method of almost forceful pulling, the Iron Blood Army continued to expand. Although the composition was extremely complicated, it did not matter. The ocean was the best teacher for persuasion and education.
In the face of high military pay and food that could make one's mouth oily, not many people chose to leave. After all, what was the difference between soldiers and soldiers?
In the national army, even though the pay was high, there were many miscellaneous deductions. In addition to the layers of deductions from the officers, not many of them actually reached the hands of the soldiers!
There was no harm without comparison. The Iron Blood Army had a high salary and was paid in full. The food was good, and they could eat meat every day! With advanced equipment and sufficient bullets, they had an additional guarantee of life on the battlefield.
If he didn't join such a unit, what else could he do?
Of course, nothing was perfect. There was a small group of people who did not join the Iron Blood Army. Compared to the benefits mentioned above, they valued reputation and future more.
Although the Iron Blood Army was good, it was still a wild method. A local private armed force that was not recognized by the national government had no future!
Regarding this, Liu Zhiguo was too lazy to talk to them. He was short-sighted but thought highly of himself. The Iron Blood Army did not hesitate to take it.
"Bang bang…"
"Come in."
Chen Tiejun walked in jubilantly and said,""Commander, we just counted 13400 people. Congratulations!”
" Oh, that's quite a lot." Liu Guozhi glanced at it and nodded." With the original troops, an entire division is guaranteed."”
"Hehe, this is still faster. It's much easier than me painstakingly recruiting them one by one!”After sighing for a while, Chen Tiejun took out another piece of paper and said with a smile,"Commander, if you look at this military statistics again, you will definitely be happy.”
"Is that so?" Liu Zhiguo picked it up and looked at it. It really was a tank, artillery, and a marine team with two pilots!
What a pleasant surprise. What did the Iron Blood Army lack the most now? Without a doubt, he was a pilot.
"What's the deal with the marines and the pilot?”
Chen Tiejun nodded." I've made it clear. After the first battle, all the navy ships sank in the Yangtze River. There was no need for the marine corps to exist, so they acted as infantry and finally came to us. As for the pilots, their situation was similar to that of the marines. They had crashed in the air, and there were only two national military planes. They didn't know when they would be able to fly the plane again. It was better to stay in Shanghai and continue fighting the Japanese.”
Liu Zhiguo was shocked when he heard this. They were all men of blood. It would be a pity if they were lost as infantry!
He got up and found two books on modern aerial combat on the bookshelf. As he handed them to Chen Tiejun, he said,""Give these two books to them later and tell them that the future of our Iron Blood Army depends on them.”
Without waiting for Chen Tiejun to speak, Liu Zhiguo continued,"How are the new recruits?”
"Very well-behaved!" "They are very satisfied with the treatment of the Iron Blood Army. Division Chief Lan is currently telling them about the future development and changes of our army."”
Ha, Liu Zhiguo couldn't help but laugh. The little Pi Niang didn't defend herself properly and went to snatch the Chief of Staff's job. Was this really good?
"Quickly educate and reorganize the troops, especially the artillery. The Japanese will be here soon. I hope they can be put to good use.”
"Alright, I'll do it right away."
10,000 soldiers was not a small number, and it was difficult to manage them. Fortunately, the soldiers were very disciplined, so there was no trouble.
The reorganization of the Iron Blood Army was carried out vigorously. Liu Zhiguo added three more infantry regiments on top of the original military establishment, which were directly under the artillery regiment, armored regiment, guard regiment, and reconnaissance battalion. The remaining 1,000 people were all incorporated into the supplementary regiment.
The registration, physical examination, and distribution were carried out in an orderly manner. Blue Rouge played a very crucial role in this.
In Chen Tiejun's words, Blue Rouge was very handy in dealing with complicated things, which made him very impressed.
Liu Zhiguo only smiled when he heard this. Some people were good at making things simple. On the contrary, some people could make very simple things complicated. Their ability would definitely surprise you!
Reorganizing and grinding in was not something that could be completed in a day or two. Thus, the main burden of the upcoming battle was still on the First Team.
With over ten thousand troops, the daily consumption of resources was shocking. Fortunately, there was a big BUG in the system. Otherwise, just the food supply alone would be enough to worry the logistics department. After all, Golden Bull Peak was too limited!
..............
In order to carry out the policy of quick victory, the Japanese army advanced very quickly. Yanagawa helped the 10th army to rush to Changzhou through Suzhou.
Who was the Changzhou Garrison Commander? It was definitely not a problem for Cai Changde to bootlick and welcome them, but was it possible for him to arm wrestle with 50,000 to 60,000 Japanese elites?
When the Japanese army was still dozens of kilometers away, Cai Changde packed his luggage and ran away with a few new wives!
In the Iron Blood Army headquarters, Chen Tiejun pushed open the door and entered Liu Zhiguo's office. He said bluntly,"Commander, the scouts have sent the latest information. Changzhou Garrison Commander Cai Changde has abandoned the city and fled!”
Surprised? No, Liu Zhiguo was not surprised at Cai Changde's escape. After all, you can't expect an incompetent person who only knows how to take money to live and die with Changzhou.
Seeing that his commander did not have much of a reaction, Chen Tiejun could not help but probe,""Commander, Changzhou is currently on air defense. Should we take over and fight the Japanese?”
"No!" Liu Zhiguo shook his head." Changzhou's city defense is already rotten to the extreme. There's not much difference between having it and not having it. We can't defend it even if we take it on. It will also bring disaster to the people in the city.”
Chen Tiejun was silent. His commander was right. The Japanese were at the forefront of their troops. If they did not have complete fortifications, they would not be able to stop them!
"Tie Jun, arrange for people to watch the road along the river. If you find Cai Changde, immediately detain all his finances and bank notes. I want him to be penniless!”
For a vermin like Cai Changde, getting all the money that he had plundered for many years was definitely the greatest punishment for him.
"Okay, I'll arrange it immediately. If Cai Changde escapes to Nanjing, we can definitely stop him.”
Chen Tiejun was not greedy for money. He believed that no one would have a good impression of Cai Changde, a scum of the national army who only knew how to take money but abandoned the city at the critical moment.
"Signal soldier, order the first regiment to enter the fortifications at the foot of the mountain immediately. Order the air defense and artillery to enter the second level combat deployment.”
After thinking for a while, Liu Zhiguo personally picked up the phone and dialed the hospital and logistics warehouse respectively, ordering them to immediately pull up the camouflage net and prepare for air defense.
In this era, Liu Zhiguo was most afraid of planes. There was too much uncertainty. Although the Iron Blood Army's air defense system was perfect and the air defense artillery was the most advanced radio proximity technology during World War II, it could not guarantee that it would be foolproof!
