Chungking, North District Fifth Battalion.
In the camp.
Cai Hu picked up a 3.8 rifle and fired at a target on the shooting range. From a distance of 100 meters, he scored nine points and ten points every time.
"The Japanese are not bad!"
Cai Hu said with satisfaction.
This time, they easily took down the fifth battalion of the northern region. Before the officers and soldiers here could escape, they were caught red-handed by Cai Hu.
Cai Hu didn't have much sympathy for the people who had committed such heinous crimes. Among them, those who had committed murder cases with Ma Biao, those who had insulted women, and those who had sold tobacco were all dragged to Caishikou to be executed.
The rest who made mistakes would be sent to prison cells according to their size. The rest of the people, old, weak, sick and disabled, were all eliminated.
Only 500 young adults were left behind. These 500 people had clean hands, and their physical and mental strength were not bad.
Initially, half of the 500 people were going to leave. However, when they heard that Cai Hu was recruiting soldiers, they had a little idea.
If Cai Hu wanted to establish an independent regiment, he would need at least 5000 people. It could be said that he was particularly lacking in suitable soldiers.
Moreover, the price he offered was very tempting. These Sichuan people who had suffered a lot understood and immediately raised their hands high. They especially wanted to follow Cai Hu.
"Soldiers of the Independent Regiment directly under the Military Governor's Office will be given a one-time allowance of 10 yuan and five mu of tax-free land!”
"Three meals a day, guaranteed meat for lunch, and a monthly salary of three dollars!”
"I guarantee that everyone is equal under my command. There will be no special treatment. Everyone must listen to my orders!”
…
Cai Hu gathered these 500 people and made three rules. In an instant, he gained the love and respect of the 500 Sichuan soldiers.
In this day and age, having enough food and money to wear was the prerequisite for leading a good army.
In this day and age, many soldiers were illiterate. They did not have enough to eat, so it was pointless to talk about principles.
As long as they were fed with rice, meat, and vegetables, coupled with military pay, these soldiers would slowly become loyal and follow you.
This was the only way to slowly make them accept advanced military concepts and let them accept the responsibility of the country's rise and fall.
"Bang bang bang!"
In the shooting range of the 5th Battalion of the Northern Army, these soldiers were all focused on firing their rifles. Each of them was a local, and they were all very happy to receive a 10-yuan settlement allowance and five acres of fertile land that was tax-free.
The Sichuan army was simple and honest, and it was easy to satisfy them. Once someone treated them well, they would definitely fight to the death.
The regiment commander had given an order. The three companies of 500 people had to have at least an eight-circle shooting ability within a week.
This was a test for the 500 military strategists, but they did not eat for free. Even though the autumn wind was very cold, they still persevered.
…
Cai Hu was very satisfied with the performance of this unit. In the future, they would be the seed soldiers of his independent regiment. He had to build them up well.
"Guild Leader!"
"This is the firearms and ammunition booklet of the North Fifth Battalion!”
A burly man placed a book in front of Cai Hu and stood up straight.
This person was Cai Hu's adjutant, a martial artist. According to him, he had practiced the Shadowless Kick of Buddha Mountain, which made Cai Hu very interested.
Cai Hu had tested him before. In close combat, ten soldiers could not even get close to him. He was a typical warrior.
This person's name was Zhao Dashan. Cai Hu saw him pulling a rickshaw outside the street. He was bullied by the hooligans because he couldn't eat, so he saved him out of kindness. He didn't expect to pick up a treasure.
"Okay, I'll take a look first. Big Mountain, you go and do something else first!”
Cai Hu said to Zhao Dashan.
After Zhao Dashan left, Cai Hu browsed through the booklet. This booklet contained the guns and ammunition of the Fifth North Battalion, as well as the items confiscated from the Ma Mansion.
"New and old Hanyang made, a total of 2000!”
"500 second-hand 38 rifles!”
"100,000 rounds of two types of bullets!”
"Five Maxim heavy machine guns!"
"Two million yuan now!"
"Twenty ancient paintings!"
"Ten chests of jewelry, gold, and silver!"
…
When Cai Hu saw this, his eyes were about to pop out. This Ma Biao had really not lived in vain for more than ten years. He had f * cking accumulated so much property.
Just the extremely luxurious Ma Residence that occupied a huge area was already worth a lot. If Cai Hu did not want to do something now, just the dozen or so concubines alone would be enough to charm Cai Hu.
"Fortunately, I restrained myself a little and let those concubines leave. Otherwise, I would have had kidney deficiency!”
Cai Hu's eyes narrowed when he saw this huge family business. He muttered to himself and laughed out loud.
"Zhao Dashan, come in and use my name to send a message to the Military Governor's Office. Tell them that I've taken control of Chongqing and that the independent regiment is being formed!”
Cai Hu called Zhao Dashan in and gave him an order. After Zhao Dashan received his task, he went to the telegram room.
…
Chengdu, Sichuan, Military Governor's Office.
In the Military Governor's office, Cai E was handling military documents in Yunnan and Sichuan.
Cai E's condition was improving day by day. Just yesterday, Cai E rode a strong horse out of the city for a stroll.
It was all because of the medicine. Thinking of this, Cai E's mind was filled with the figure of his third kid. He didn't know how his third kid was doing.
This mission was too dangerous. As a father, Cai E couldn't sleep every night and was worried about Cai Hu's safety.
At this time, the secretary brought a telegram, saying that it was a telegram from the special agent in Chongqing.
When Cai E heard this, his heart was filled with anxiety. He dismissed the secretary, put down the military documents, and quickly picked up the telegram in the document bag.
"Father, don't worry. I have already taken control of the entire military and political affairs of Chongqing. The independent regiment is also in the process of being formed. Soon, the independent regiment will be a sharp sword for our Southwest Army…"
When Cai E saw the telegram, the worry and nervousness in his heart were relieved, replaced by joy and happiness.
"Third brat, you've grown up. You can actually achieve such great success under such dangerous circumstances!”
Cai E touched the telegram and was very proud of his three sons.
"Pass down the order to have two more dishes sent in at noon. This Overseer is in a good mood today, so I'll eat more!”
Cai E sat on the overseer's office chair, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed the secretary's number.
As the leader of the Yunnan Army, Cai E was very frugal. The Military Governor's Office did not even arrange for a chef. Every time, he ordered food from a very cheap restaurant. This time, he was extravagant and ordered two more dishes.
