"Conferring the rank of Colonel Chu Yunfei!"
"Yun Fei, I spent a lot of money to poach you from Officer Yan. You have to lead the troops well for me in the future!”Zhou Weiguo looked at the young man and said with a pleasant expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man who looked very handsome and extraordinary stood up. He calmly saluted and said,"Thank you for your nurturing, sir. Yunfei will definitely fight bravely and not let down the trust of Sir Zhou!”
That's right, this Chu Yunfei was the enemy of Li Yunlong in the Unlocking Sword, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Of course, he was only a nameless company commander in the Jinsui Army.
Although he was only a company commander, he was already quite famous. In order to poach him, Zhou Weiguo had paid the price of 20 machine guns.
Zhou Weiguo cursed Yan Laoxi in his heart.
"As for the regiment commander of the artillery regiment, Li Jiasheng will be the commander. He will also be awarded the rank of colonel!”
As expected, Li Jiasheng managed to pull over a company of artillery. Zhou Weiguo also gave him the position of the regiment commander as promised. Actually, even if Li Jiasheng did not pull over the artillery, the position of regiment commander would still belong to Li Jiasheng. After all, he was the only brigade commander of the heavy artillery brigade in the Republic of China. His reputation was illustrious!
"The commander of the guard battalion will be on Monday. I'll be in charge of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, which is directly under the division headquarters. As for the basic officers of the other regiments, please give me a list after the regimental commanders recommend them.”
After announcing the military officers of the various regiments, it was time for the final " gun ceremony ".
With a wave of Zhou Weiguo's hand, the door of a large warehouse that occupied thousands of square meters behind him opened with a whoosh.
Zhou Yi brought the soldiers of the Guard Battalion and moved out boxes of weapons from the warehouse. Zhou Weiguo stood in front of a box and took out a brand new rifle."This gun is called the Mauser 98K, a rifle produced in Germany. It has high accuracy, low recoil, good stability, and can adapt to all kinds of harsh environments.”
" There are many troops in the Republic of China that are equipped with this kind of rifle. In general, it's not bad. The few German Machinists under the chairman are also equipped with this kind of rifle…"
After he spoke a lot, he saw that everyone was staring at the weapons and drooling. The regiment commanders were also looking at the weapons from the corner of their eyes and did not pay attention to what Zhou Weiguo said. Zhou Weiguo cleverly stopped and shouted,"Send it down!"
Not long after, the weapons were distributed to every soldier. Seeing that everyone was looking at the weapons in their hands with care, Zhou Weiguo smiled and went to the side of the commander of the artillery regiment.
Zhou Weiguo did not brag to Li Jiasheng. He exchanged for 16 German 150mm Krupp FH18 howitzers for the artillery regiment. They were mechanized.
The maximum towing speed of this howitzer was 60 kilometers per hour, and the firing rate was four rounds per minute. It was the main type of heavy artillery of the German army.
As for the larger caliber heavy artillery, Zhou Weiguo did not exchange for it because he did not have enough military points.
Below them were 24 102mm mountain cannons and 52 82mm infantry cannons.
At this moment, Li Jiasheng, the regiment commander of the artillery regiment, was touching the muzzle of the 150mm howitzer and pointing it at the sky. He was drooling. When he saw Zhou Weiguo coming over, Li Jiasheng was so excited that his voice was a little hoarse."Master, this is really our cannon. Am I dreaming? Since when can our troops be equipped with so many cannons?”
Zhou Weiguo patted Li Jiasheng's shoulder and said with a smile,"Haha, of course, this is for you. Regiment Commander Li, as long as you focus on fighting the Japanese, there will be more large-caliber cannons waiting for you!”
"Really? Don't worry, Master. With these cannons, I'll definitely make the Japanese suffer!”Li Jiasheng said fiercely.
Zhou Weiguo was not lying. As long as the number of Japanese soldiers was high, he would have military merit points. With military merit points, he could get any cannon he wanted.
"Alright, Regiment Commander Li, since these are large-caliber howitzers, I've also equipped your artillery regiment with a vehicle. Hurry up and pull these big guys to your camp.”
"Yes, sir! Master!"
Zhou Weiguo's regiment was a reinforced regiment of nearly 2,500 people. It had three infantry battalions and a regimental artillery company. The artillery company was equipped with 16 72mm mortars.
Each battalion had three companies, an artillery platoon equipped with eight Type 92 60mm cannons, and a heavy machine gun company. A total of 700 people.
Each company had three platoons and a light machine gun platoon. A total of 220 people.
Each platoon had three squads and a small fire squad equipped with light machine guns, totaling 50 people.
There were 13 people in each squad, and each of them was equipped with a Mauser 98K rifle and a light machine gun.
Li Jiasheng's artillery regiment and logistics team had about 2800 people.
Zhou Weiguo's guard battalion had 500 people, a 20-odd people special forces unit, and a division's anti-aircraft artillery battalion. There were about 700 people in total.
These were all the members of Zhou Weiguo's army.
Just like that, Zhou Weiguo had spent all his military merit points on weapons and ammunition.
All the weapons were distributed. In order to form combat strength as soon as possible, the next step was to train in full swing.
Japanese Army Headquarters in Laiyang County
Keibun looked at the message in his hand, feeling both surprised and delighted.
The Central China Army and the North China Army sent a message asking him to send troops to destroy the 101st Division and the highest officer of this division.
He knew about the 101st Division, and it was near Keibun. He also heard that the 101st Division was a direct subordinate of the president of the Chinese government. What shocked Keibun was that the highest ranking officer of the 101st Division had assassinated all the high-ranking officers of the 16th Division in Nanjing, causing the Empire to suffer huge losses.
What made the guard happy was that it was said that this unit only had more than 2,000 veterans. The other recruits were all recently recruited and had no combat strength at all.
This made KOne Bunmei think that if he could destroy the 101st Division, the headquarters would definitely reward him. At this time, KOne Bunmei was already a regiment commander, and he would definitely be promoted to a major general. He didn't have any hopes of becoming a Class A major general, but he still had a good chance of becoming a Class B major general.
This made Keibun pleasantly surprised.
In his opinion, this was simply a blessing from the gods of Amaterasu. Only when his ancestors 'graves were lit up did he obtain this opportunity to advance.
As for whether or not he could destroy the Chinese army, Keimei did not even consider it. In his opinion, if an exploration team of the Empire could not destroy a division of the Chinese army that had yet to form combat strength, it would be a disgrace to the Empire's soldiers!
He excitedly gathered the officers of the army to discuss the combat deployment of the 101st Division.
Zhou Weiguo had no idea about Wei Guowen's actions. At this moment, he and a few other regiment commanders were training the troops.
The battle cries on the training ground resounded through the sky. Some of the soldiers were practicing formation, some were practicing shooting, some were practicing stabbing, and some were doing physical training.
The training was tough, but even though the soldiers were complaining, none of them fell behind. They were all training hard.
Because the instructor who trained them had said," sweat more during normal times, and bleed less in battle." If anyone was lazy and afraid of sweating at this time, they would pay the price of their lives when they went to war.
In addition, after training, there would be oil stars in every meal and meat every day, so the soldiers trained very hard.
In this era where human lives were like weeds, learning more skills meant more chances of survival. During this period of training, Zhou Weiguo trained with the recruits. Although these training subjects were child's play for Zhou Weiguo's physical fitness, he was at the top of the list in shooting, bombing, obstacle climbing, weight-bearing cross-country, and long-distance marching.
In the eyes of these soldiers, their division commander was a very important official. It was already good enough for him to come to the training ground to watch them train, let alone train with them and eat with them.
Therefore, over the past few days, Zhou Weiguo's prestige in the hearts of the recruits had risen steadily.
They admired this powerful teacher from the bottom of their hearts.
