The expansion of the army began. Li Wu, Sun Fugui, and Zhao Shoutian were not the only ones who went to the various villages to secretly recruit soldiers. Even a recruitment point was set up at the entrance of Clear Wind Camp. Every day, a large number of people came to the recruitment point to register.
Regarding this, the entire Clear Wind Camp was very happy. However, what they did not know was that the people who came to register in Clear Wind Camp were basically all clones. This was also Zhou Weiguo's intention. After all, it was impossible for Zhou Weiguo to directly take out those clones and add them to the army. This would attract others to spy on them.
While they were recruiting and training, Zhou Weiguo was also working hard to build an extraterrestrial base.
The heavy military factory was built, and the cannon production line had also begun to produce cannons. After that, the car factory was built. However, Zhou Weiguo did not produce any cars.
This was because cars needed oil and gasoline. The alien base had the technology to synthesize oil, but because most of the resources were invested in the construction of the base, weapons production, and clone production, there was no extra resource to synthesize oil.
The aircraft manufacturing plant was also under construction. In addition, the extraterrestrial base was still expanding the base area and emptying the underground.
All of this required time, and at the same time, the production of weapons continued to increase.
In the past month, they had stored nearly 10,000 Mauser 98s, and the daily production was about 300.
Now, as time passed, the daily production had reached about 500. This production was enough for the time being.

The news that Zhou Weiguo had returned to Clear Wind Camp and started recruiting quickly spread. The guards in Laiyang County City naturally received the news.
"Guard, Clear Wind Camp has been recruiting soldiers on a large scale recently, and they are expanding at a very fast speed. According to the information we have now, in just half a month, their number has increased from 600 to 2,000. And this was someone from Clear Wind Camp.
In addition, Clear Wind Camp's two Guardian Warriors, Li Wu and Sun Fugui, as well as their third leader, Zhao Shoutian, are still recruiting soldiers outside. We haven't received any specific data on this, but I believe that the number of soldiers will not be too small.”
Naoto Matsushita said softly as he stood behind Konebun.
"Humph! A bunch of motley crew! It was just that there were a little more people. Order the 238th regiment to get ready and send troops to Clear Wind Camp! We must annihilate them this time!"
The guard snorted coldly. He did not care about the number of people, nor did he care about how many people Clear Wind Camp had.
In his opinion, the people recruited by Clear Wind Camp at the last minute were just a group of farmers who had just put down their hoes. How much combat power could they have?
Moreover, at this time, at the end of 1938, this time was still the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese army dared to attack the Chinese army, so how could they be afraid of a group of more than 2,000 bandits?

Tiger Head Mountain, Independent Regiment
"This doesn't seem like Zhou Weiguo's style. Why would he do that? It seemed like they had a lot of soldiers, but they were all farmers who had just put down their hoes and did not have much weapons and equipment. Wouldn't they attract the Japanese army if they were so ostentatious? Isn't this the path to self-destruction?"
Qiu Ming looked at the document in his hand and frowned. He really couldn't understand how Clear Wind Camp worked.
In his opinion, Zhou Weiguo was very likely the regiment commander of the national army. He was probably someone who had attended a military school. Moreover, the series of battles in Clear Wind Camp had already proved that Zhou Weiguo was not a mediocre person. However, the current situation was not good!
"Could it be that they've been fighting too smoothly recently, so they think that the Japanese are only so-so and have developed a proud mentality?”
Old Wu said from the side.
"Impossible! If you say that it's possible for others, but I don't think it's possible for Zhou Weiguo. Didn't you hear from Xiao Yu that Zhou Weiguo escaped from Nanjing? Most of the troops that had participated in the Nanjing defense battle had been defeated on the Songhu battlefield.
Since he had participated in the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing, it was impossible for him to have such thoughts. I think there should be something we don't know about.”
Qiu Ming shook his head and said. A person who had struggled to survive on the edge of life and death several times couldn't possibly have such a weak will.
Anyone who climbed out of a pile of corpses on the battlefield was a determined person. Qiu Ming was very clear about this because he was such a person.
Old Wu thought for a while and smiled helplessly."If that's the case, I don't know why they would do such an unwise thing. However, we are already prepared. If the Japanese wipe them out, we can immediately move and hide. We won't let the Japanese damage our strength.”
"En! You did well. Right now, the situation in Clear Wind Camp is still unclear, so we won't participate. I'll see what Zhou Weiguo wants to do first.”

December 16, 1938, Juyi Hall
Today, the assembly hall was already full of people. Li Wu, Sun Fugui, and Zhao Shoutian, who were recruiting soldiers outside, had also returned.
Zhou Weiguo sat at the head of the table and looked at the people below. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It had been exactly two months since he came to this era. In these two months, the number of people under him had grown from a hundred to a few thousand now. However, to put it simply, the revolution had not yet succeeded, so comrades still needed to work hard!
"Fellow comrades, after half a month of recruitment, our Clear Wind Camp has recruited more than 1,400 people. Li Wu, Sun Fugui, and Zhao Shoutian have also recruited 1,000 people. Now, we have 3,000 people. Although our regiment is still at full strength, we can still pull up the basic structure.
Therefore, today is also the day when the 87th Division of the 9th Army will resume its formation. I will also hold the first meeting of my regiment here.”
As Zhou Weiguo said this, his gaze slowly swept across the crowd below. He chuckled and said,"Are you guys thinking that you can also be promoted and get rich?”
The people below laughed when they heard that. Indeed, it was their first time being an official as bandits. How could they not look forward to it!
"Alright! Since everyone is waiting, I won't waste any more time. I will now begin the appointment!"
After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, he looked at Li Wudao.""Li Wu, from now on, I appoint you as the 1st Battalion Commander. Sun Fugui, I appoint you as the commander of the 2nd Battalion. Zhao Shoutian, I appoint you as the commander of the 3rd Battalion!”
