According to Zhang Sen's request, the troops to be incorporated had to be the elite of the elite, and the old, weak, sick, and ruffians were not allowed.
Tang Yulin was once a formidable figure in western Liaoning. When he first came to the Heat Province, his troops were called the Tiger Army. When he killed Guo Songling, it was this Tiger Army that put down the rebellion.
However, as time passed, Tang Yulin's troops became bandits with rifles in one hand and smoking pipes in the other. Their combat effectiveness plummeted and was not as good as before.
Although the two divisions he brought this time were his elites, the quality of the soldiers was uneven.
What Zhang Sen wanted was an iron-blooded force. Ruffians, the old, weak, sick, and disabled must not mix in, or else it would greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.
After a night of reorganization, half of the two divisions were gone, leaving only 8,000 elite soldiers.
Including Zhang Sen's original troops, the total number of soldiers exceeded 11,000.
In this era, each warlord would privately expand their own army. A regiment could have up to 5,000 people, and a brigade could even have more than 20,000 people.
To make it easier to manage, Zhang Sen temporarily organized these eleven thousand soldiers into a division. They were divided into three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment.
Long Wen Zhang was the leader of the first regiment, Han Li Gong was the leader of the second regiment, Li Fangting was the leader of the third regiment, and Liu Hu was the leader of the artillery regiment.
The four regiments formed the new division of the Northeast Army. The reason why they were new was to differentiate them from the old Northeast Army. They wanted the world to know that the new Northeast Army was the most powerful.
Zhang Sen also picked out twenty soldiers with good marksmanship and handed them over to Shunliu to form a sniper team.
In the previous battle, it was because he successfully killed the enemy commander and paralyzed the enemy's command system that the subsequent battle could be fought relatively smoothly.
Therefore, it was necessary to form a sniper team. They would become the most feared team on the battlefield.
As for the two heroes rewarded by the system, Zhang Sen would not use them for the time being.
Zhang Sen used his points to exchange for 5,000 Mauser 98K rifles and placed them in two warehouses together with the weapons rewarded by the system.
After putting it away, he immediately ordered the four regiment commanders to claim the weapons and equip the troops.
The four regiment commanders were already used to weapons being stored in the warehouse.
After hearing Zhang Sen's order, they almost immediately led the troops to snatch the weapons.
When the warehouse door opened, rows of brand-new rifles, heavy machine guns, and imposing field cannons formed a strong visual impact that shocked all of Tang Yulin's troops.
"Oh my god, this rifle is really new. The rifling of my previous Hanyang rifle is almost worn out!”A soldier hugged the Mauser rifle so tightly that he almost kissed it.
"This machine gun looks very powerful. It's much smaller than our Maxim.”
"Maxim is nothing. That thing is stupid and heavy," laughed a veteran. We are made in Prussians. One person can carry it and two people can operate it very nimbly. The Japanese's machine guns were nothing in front of this guy. When the Japanese heard the gunshots, their legs trembled in fear.”
The recruits touched the general-purpose machine gun with a look of curiosity, their eyes almost unable to pull out.
"Only with such a weapon can we be called soldiers. What's the difference between us and hunters in the past?”
"No wonder the general could lead 3,000 people to kill more than 10,000 Japanese. With this weapon, we can also kill more than 10,000 Japanese.”
"It's not a problem to add another 10,000."
"If we follow the general, we will be the true Northeast Army.”
The four teams quickly distributed their weapons. Long Wenzhang's team received the most, or rather, they stole the most.
As a result, Han Ligong and Li Fangting joined forces to sue Zhang Sen."General, please be reasonable. We were the ones who got the Thompson submachine gun first, but that bastard Long Wenzhang actually ordered his men to point their guns at our soldiers 'heads and forced them to put down their guns.”
"General, you can't just ignore him. He even snatched his allies. Who knows what he might do.”
Zhang Sen smiled noncommittally." A soldier should have some courage. He stole weapons, not civilians." If he steals the people, I will personally kill him. In the future, all of you should learn to fight for good things. It's the same in war.”
"General, you said it yourself!" "Next time, if there's anything good, we'll join hands and snatch it from him."”
"As long as no one dies, it's your ability to snatch it!”Zhang Sen nodded.
His acquiescence also laid down the strategy of the Northeast Army.
From then on, everyone knew that General Zhang's troops in the northeast were like fire and unmoving mountains. They fought like wolves.
That night, the reconnaissance team suddenly reported that a large number of Japanese troops suddenly moved in the direction of Chengde, possibly two divisions.
Zhang Sen laughed coldly." They came so quickly. Inform the troops to gather and prepare for war!" Let the Japanese have a good look at the strength of our new division!”
