Zhao Ting personally led the extermination of the Japanese spies and traitors in Song County. Not only did he receive a commendation, but he was also appointed as the local highest-ranking military officer.
At the same time, Zhao Ting had completed the mission to eliminate the enemy spies and received 30000 war points as a reward.
Even with 30000 War Points, he could not exchange for many weapons and equipment in the war system. Therefore, Zhao Ting changed his method.
He used his war points to exchange for 30,000 dollars and went straight to the front line. After some operation, he got a lot of artillery equipment.
Among them were 10 82-caliber mortars, 5 75-caliber mountain cannons, 6 37-caliber cannons, 15 4-unit anti-aircraft machine guns, and a lot of ammunition.
Besides, an artillery company of the regular army had suffered a great loss on the battlefield and was transferred to the rear for rest. Zhao Ting teleported them over.
Although these cannons were still on the way to Song County, Zhao Ting had already started preparing to form an artillery regiment.
He knew that in a battle against the Japanese, it would be difficult to rely solely on light weapons. They needed artillery and air forces.
The air force was still nowhere to be seen, which was too far away for him. However, it was possible to build an artillery unit.
Of course, Zhao Ting didn't receive the military council's artillery regiment. He was preparing to establish a new artillery regiment under the Song County Garrison Command. It would be known as the 1st Militia Regiment, and his trusted aide, Yang Dashu, would be the temporary commander of the 1st Regiment.
The head of the security regiment under the Garrison Command was temporarily replaced by Liu Gang, and the head of the second militia regiment was Zhang Feng, who had performed well in training.
These were all old brothers who had walked out of his model battalion. Their loyalty was absolutely reliable. Moreover, after Zhao Ting's personal guidance, their military accomplishments were constantly improving.
Zhao Ting was still the battalion commander of the model battalion, but he had already treated the model battalion as an officer training camp with high standards.
This time, a group of soldiers with excellent performance in training were transferred from the model battalion to supplement the 1st Militia Regiment, 2nd Militia Regiment, and Security Regiment, which greatly enriched the basic ranks of the officers in these three regiments.
Apart from transferring soldiers from the model battalion to the militia and the security regiment to serve as officers, Zhao Ting also selected some outstanding youths and militia. The security regiment's soldiers entered the model battalion for training to make up for the vacancies.
Within the model battalion, other than the Sharp Blade Assault Team, Zhao Ting also ran three short-term officer training courses.
Among them were the platoon leader training class, battalion commander training class, and staff officer training class. The teaching materials were all personally exchanged by Zhao Ting with war points.
The opening of the internal training class of the model battalion greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers. This was because once they trained well, they could be selected to attend the officer training class.
Originally, the reason why these soldiers wore military uniforms was mainly because they could eat military rations, but now they had a greater pursuit.
They knew very well that as long as they could enter the officer training class, they would at least be an infantry squad leader once they graduated. If they performed well and entered the battalion and company level training class, their future would be limitless.
Although it was vulgar to be promoted and get rich, it was also a real temptation. Therefore, entering the model camp and the officer training class had become the goal of all the officers and soldiers.
Zhao Ting was now the commander of the garrison, the security regiment, and the leader of the militia. However, in reality, the position of the leader was directly given to Liu Gang and the others. He focused on being his commander.
A month ago, Liu Gang and the others were just small infantry squad leaders. However, after following Zhao Ting, their status had changed drastically in a short period of time. Liu Gang, Yang Dashu, Zhang Feng, and the others had become the commanders of the first regiment.
They knew that they and Zhao Ting were now in a situation where they would rise or fall together, so they were closely united around Zhao Ting.
"From tomorrow onwards, the 1st Militia will end their infantry training and be converted to artillery.”
"The 2nd Militia Regiment and the Security Regiment, eliminate the old and weak, regroup them, and then start training according to the model battalion!”
"The military supplies department is responsible for the equipment and logistics. If you need anything, give me a list. I'll send a telegram to the military and political department.”
"The medical team has been upgraded to a medical camp. We need to recruit more medical personnel. We can't recruit them for training on the spot.”
Apart from making arrangements for the military, Zhao Ting also made arrangements for the civil affairs.
He gathered the county officials, as well as the mayors and village heads of the various towns, and held a meeting. For the first time, the slogan of preparing for war was raised.
Zhao Ting requested the villages and towns to set up a joint defense committee, set up self-defense armed forces, set up propaganda teams, stretcher teams, and transport teams in case of emergency.
Now that Zhao Ting held the military and political power of Song County, all the taxes and things in the warehouse were under his control, so he had the financial resources to make such arrangements.
Song County was the only way for the Japanese to land. If Zhao Ting wanted to fight the Japanese here, he had to rely on the local people. Therefore, he formed the Joint Defense Committee to prepare for the upcoming war.
The intelligence network of the Japanese in Song County was destroyed by Zhao Ting, and all the spies and traitors that were captured were executed by him. This greatly intimidated the group of fence sitters.
Therefore, when his military orders and decrees were issued, all parties actively took action. The entire Song County was a scene of the people preparing for war.
Zhao Ting also knew that he could not stop the Japanese from landing here alone, so he sent a telegram to the war zone, saying that he had intercepted the intelligence that the Japanese were probably going to land here and hoped that the war zone would send troops to prevent it.
Zhao Ting was a very popular person now. Although the commanding officers couldn't confirm the authenticity of the information, they still sent troops to Zhao Ting's side as a precaution.
Soon, the commanding officer of the war zone transferred the 67th division, which had suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, to Song County. On one hand, it was to rest and recuperate, and on the other hand, it was to prevent the Japanese from landing.
Apart from the 67th Army's reinforcements, the 62nd Division and the 2nd Artillery Brigade, which were originally stationed at the coastal line in Jin Town and Qing Town, were also recalled to take charge of the coastal defense line.
