Following Xia Fei's orders, half a month later, his bandit army, along with those recruited from the surrounding areas and those who had escaped from the National Army, had nearly five hundred men.
Having recruited five hundred people, Xia Fei knew that his team was almost full. Now, Xia Fei could feel the lack of ammunition.
In the Super Nation System, Xia Fei had learned that he needed to first exchange for the Engineer Ants, then exchange for a blueprint of an arsenal. The two would require a total of 20,000 exchange points!
20,000 was an astronomical figure for Xia Fei!
Therefore, the current situation was that they had no guns or cannons and were waiting for the Japanese to make them.
As for why the Japanese had not responded even after Xia Fei had taken out their stronghold for so long, it was because Xia Fei had only taken out a small portion of the advance troops of the Japanese, and the real main force had yet to arrive.
Ling Luo Town was located in Hui Province, near Yi City. It was the economic lifeline of the entire Hui Province.
Xia Fei was originally from this area, so he naturally knew what Yi City had experienced during the Japanese invasion. Yi City was the provincial capital of Hui Province before the Japanese took over. The geography and culture here were also very rich. Although it was not comparable to Shanghai and Hong Kong in terms of economy, it was considered one of the best cities in this era.
" The Yangtze River is the first province in the Wu and Chu borders " was a good summary of Yi City. The famous Tongcheng Sect also came from here. In addition, Hui ink, Xuan paper, and Hui merchants were all world-famous and were all manifestations of Hui Province's culture.
However, ever since the invasion of the Japanese, Yi City had been completely decadent, which had a lot to do with the cultural environment.
Xia Fei stood on top of the turret and looked into the distance. He knew that it would not be long before the Japanese's artillery fire would completely engulf them, and Yi City, the economic center of Hui Province, would be on a downward slope.
After the fall of Nanjing, Wuhu and Yicheng would be attacked by the Japanese army. After Yicheng, it would be the retreat of the National Army in Wuhan.
In other words, the national army would be engaged in a battle with the Japanese army here, and Xia Fei would definitely be affected by the flames of war.
As for leaving, that was impossible. He was a Ling Luo person in life and a Ling Luo soul in death. Even if he died, Xia Fei would drag the Japanese down with him!
As he was about to welcome the incoming Japanese army, Xia Fei began to pass down orders to build defensive bunkers.
However, during this period, something happened in Ling Luo Town.
The Wang family's daughter had been kidnapped by the bandits on Songyang Mountain.
F * ck, after playing with eagles all his life, he was blinded by eagles. F * ck!
Not only did poor mountains and rivers produce unruly people, but it was also easy for bandits to appear! The unit that Xia Fei was leading was a bandit group. If it were not for Xia Fei, those hundred or so people would still be bandits.
In the past, Xia Fei's bandit lair was the largest bandit group in the area, and ever since Xia Fei brought them out of the mountain, all the smaller bandits that had been suppressed before had sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain.
As for bandits, they basically liked to hide in the mountains. No one could find them.
Now, Xia Fei had one more thing to do, and that was to exterminate the bandits.
Under Xia Fei's instructions, Blind Xu spread another message to the outside world, which was that he did not wish to see any bandit hideouts near Ling Luo Town, so he had to either scram or join them.
These bandits were originally sneering at him, but after Xia Fei had wiped out all the bandits on Songyang Mountain, they all fell silent and did not dare to speak nonsense.
Even if they did not seek refuge with Xia Fei, they would not dare to cause trouble in Ling Luo Town.
As the days passed, Xia Fei's army had already recruited over seven hundred men, and it was obvious that they did not have enough guns. Some of them even used wooden sticks to practice.
Those Zhongzheng rifles that he had looked down on before had now become popular goods, which gave him a headache.
How could they fight without guns?
Xia Fei had no choice but to turn his gaze to the pistol.
It was not easy to make other guns, but the box cannon was more convenient. However, Xia Fei was not very interested in the original box cannon, so he had someone change the production method.
The box cannon was usually a Mauser military pistol, like the one commonly seen in the military. It was called the Type 17, but this kind of gun was not popular in foreign countries, but it was very popular in the military.
The advantage of this type of gun was that it was cheap, but the disadvantage was that its aim was too poor and its range was short. It was also called a self-powered pistol. There were fully automatic and semi-automatic pistols. As for why foreign countries were not popular, it was because foreign countries had submachine guns to replace these outdated box cannons.
Because of this pistol, Xia Fei suddenly had the idea of forming a few pistol squads with more than ten people to be the vanguard of the special forces during the war.
It was similar to the special forces in Snow Leopard. This kind of team was very useful to the Japanese.
Once the war started, logistics support was extremely important, and Xia Fei had formed these teams to destroy the Japanese's logistics support.
Out of the seven hundred men, a hundred were cut off to form the pistol brigade. Xia Fei thought about the remaining six hundred men for a long time before finally picking out five of them. Each of them would lead a team, and each team would have a hundred men.
As for these five candidates, Xia Fei had thought about them carefully and picked out five more loyal ones, and these five were naturally the older batch of people who had followed the bandits out.
Moreover, Xia Fei had also given the order that all the spoils of war would belong to them, and there was no need to hand them over. At the same time, they also set many conditions, such as that they could only fight the Japanese and could not do anything harmful to the people.
Ling Luo Town was still a little remote, and there were not many people who had received cultural education. If the conditions allowed it in the future, Xia Fei would try his best to get some cultured people over to do some political thinking.
Xia Fei thought about it and decided that he would be looking for someone similar to the political commissar that was often mentioned in television dramas.
Time always passed very quickly. Just as Xia Fei was trying his best to think of a way to expand his forces, the Japanese's regular troops finally arrived, and the artillery fire spread to his remote Ling Luo Town.
The prelude to Xia Fei's direct confrontation with the Japanese had officially begun.
