Ye Tian began to study the military's weapon configuration. First, he chose the German Mauser 98K, the best bolt action rifle in the Second Station. As for the semi-automatic, we'll talk about it in a few years. We don't have enough money now, so we'll deal with it first. As for machine guns, he chose two. They were Germany's MG42 general machine gun and America's M2 Browning heavy machine gun. In terms of heavy firepower, they chose the grenade launcher as the class 'fire support. Grenade launchers were one of the firepower support of the Japanese Army in World War II. Of course, the main reason was that Japan was too weak and could not afford to equip too many heavy weapons. However, this kind of weapon could still be used as fire support for the class units. Above it were medium mortars and heavy mortars. As for the artillery, 70mm infantry cannons, 75mm field cannons, 105mm howitzers, 150mm howitzers, and 150mm cannons had all started trial production. In terms of armored vehicles, they only produced some armored vehicles and some German Panzer III tanks. These were the best light tanks of World War II and were enough to deal with the current Japanese army. It would take some time to produce all of them, mainly because the production of heavy weapons was slower.
In addition, Ye Tian had Blood Saber scout the nearby villages to see if there was any chance of recruiting some people. Central Hebei was now under enemy control, and the Eighth Route Army, the National Army, and the Jinsui Army were all intertwined. Who knew what they would encounter if they went to recruit people casually. Then, he started to build some factories. Yes, factories. It couldn't be helped. Light weapons like firearms could be produced by the base. As for heavy weapons, they needed to build specialized factories, such as cannon factories, chariot factories, and so on. What was even more ridiculous was the price of the workers. A skilled worker was more expensive than a heavy cannon. If he was not mistaken, it was a heavy cannon. The factory did not need one or two workers, but many. In the future, the factories would need more. Recruiting people to the factory could only start as apprentices. During the Anti-Japanese War, the comprehensive quality of the Chinese people was that those who graduated from primary school were cultured people. After training, they would probably only be able to do assembly line work. They could only train themselves. Fortunately, there was a training factory in the base that could train both officers and workers. In the future, they would recruit people to send them to train. They did not have to rely on the base to produce skilled workers.
Ye Tian immediately ordered the base to produce some soldiers, all of whom were mid-level, equivalent to soldiers who had undergone a year of military training, including various physical and shooting training. After being produced and equipped with weapons, they would become qualified troops. Ye Tian didn't dare to ask for the cheapest basic soldier. He didn't dare to ask for a soldier who had only received three months of recruit training and hadn't even touched a gun. Who knew what would happen in a few months of training? It was better to be confident.
A moment later, more than a hundred people appeared around Ye Tian. It wasn't much, enough for an entire company, and he could only produce this much. Ye Tian endured his heartache and gave birth to a few more officers, but they were very expensive. A platoon leader was equal to ten soldiers, and a company commander was equal to thirty soldiers. Ye Tian didn't even have the courage to look. This company was organized into the first company of the Anti-Japanese Army. Their equipment was decent. Each of them had a Mauser 98K, light machine guns, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and rocket launchers. The company had a mortar platoon with four 80mm mortars. There was also a reinforced fire support platoon, two 70mm infantry cannons, and two 57mm anti-aircraft cannons. In Ye Tian's plan, the cannons were the infantry's fire support, while the cannons were used to fight against tanks. These two types of cannons were directly under the army and not under the artillery. Even the worst artillery was a 75mm cannon.
The people sent out by Bloody Blade reported the results of the investigation. The anti-Japanese sentiment in the villages was still high. The main reason was that the Japanese army would harm people when they were old. They would collect food when they had nothing to do. Occasionally, they would harm women and kill a few people. Basically, every village had encountered such a thing. The conclusion was that as long as they were given enough excellent treatment, they could still recruit some people. Ye Tian thought for a moment and decided to take out some silver and some food from the base to recruit soldiers. In the following days, Ye Tian's army continued to expand, with seven or eight people joining every day. That was all. There was no other way. They had to recruit people from the nearby villages and eliminate those who did not meet the requirements. If it were not for the fact that the silver coins and food were hard currency, they probably would not have this much.
……
On the way back to the county town, a group of Japanese soldiers were pulling a few cars back. The Japanese officer was drunk as he rode on his horse, spouting nonsense."That flower girl is really good." The puppet officer beside him smiled obsequiously and said,""Taijun, in a few days, we will go to the other villages to collect grain and Miss Hua.”When the Japanese military officer heard this, he said with a smile,"Youxi, your Dada is really good." These 100 people were the Japanese army's grain collection team. Most of them were puppet troops, and there were only about 20 Japanese troops. He had just returned from collecting grain from Li Village and was just in time for a wedding in the village. This Japanese officer saw that the bride was beautiful and…Actually, it was mainly because a traitor failed to propose marriage. He held a grudge and deliberately told the Japanese army that Li Village had grain when someone else got married. That was how this happened.
As they spoke, they entered a valley. They often walked this path and did not encounter any danger. The Japanese symbolically fired their machine guns at the mountain. Seeing that there was no reaction, they entered the valley. There was a company of soldiers lying in ambush on the mountain, the First Company. This time, Ye Tian had asked them to come out and see blood, and a small team of Blood Saber soldiers had sealed the exit.
"Company commander, the Japanese have come in. Should we attack?”a platoon leader asked.
Pa! The company commander shot the Japanese officer in the head with his Mauser 98K. When the others saw the company commander shoot, they opened fire together.
There was the sound of a Mauser rifle, the sound of cloth being torn, the sound of an MG42 machine gun, the sound of an M2 heavy machine gun, and the sound of a mortar.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the valley were unlucky. A large number of them fell the moment the gunshot sounded, and the subsequent volley of firepower was even more devastating. Ye Tian's troops weren't like the Eighth Route Army, who would fire a few shots with their rifles and throw a few grenades before engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Ye Tian emphasized that he would use bullets to solve the problem, not a bayonet. He didn't lack weapons, he only cared about people. Therefore, the First Company didn't care if they wasted money or not. They just fired their bullets as if they didn't need money. After that, he threw a bunch of grenades. These were real pineapple-shaped grenades, not the two-petal grenades of the Eighth Route Army. Then, the First Company began to charge under the cover of machine guns.
By the time the 1st Company reached the bottom, there were already very few survivors. The remaining Japanese soldiers were all killed. A few lightly injured soldiers were brought to Li Ang, the name Ye Tian had given him.
"How many soldiers do you have in your county? What are you doing out here?”Li Ang asked.
"Sir, we are here to collect rations. There was also a squadron of about 300 Japanese soldiers and a regiment of about 800 puppet soldiers in the county town.”
"Why should I be a traitor if I'm not a citizen of China?”
"Sir, I was originally a national soldier, and I fought with the Japanese before. Later on, the national army was defeated, and my regiment commander surrendered to the Japanese.”
"You look like a man. Why are you willing to follow us?”
"I'm willing, sir. It was the regiment commander who brought us to surrender. All these years, we have been harming the people of China. I have done enough. Right, sir. If you want to recruit people, you can go to Li Village. The daughter-in-law of the village chief was raped by the Japanese. The entire village hates the Japanese.”
After Li Ang heard this, he asked someone to take the puppet soldiers away and screen them in the future. Those who had not done evil could be recruited. Those who had done evil could be shot.
