The others were still hesitating. They wanted to see what would happen to the first person to eat the crab, Zhang Yuan Ming.
In the crowd, there were two people talking with their heads lowered. They were the two people who had looked out of the room just now.
"Brother, why don't we go later?”
"No, I'll go. You stay at home.”
"No, I want to go too!"
"You can't go! There are only the two of us left in our family. We have to leave an heir.”
"Then you stay, I'll go!"
"I'm the big brother. I have the final say!"
……
Zhang Yuan Ming strode to the table and wrote down his name.
The person in charge of signing them up was led by a lieutenant tank captain named Lu Yan. Now, all five of them were waiting there.
After seeing him sign, Lu Yan instructed,"Here, collect your family allowance of 20 dollars, a military uniform, and two 50-pound bags of flour.”
When Zhang Yuan Ming saw them handing over a handful of money and two bags of flour from the car, he was slightly stunned.
He did not expect this to be true. He had thought that there would be a little symbolic compensation at most!
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and move back!" Lu Yan urged him. You'll have to follow us later. Hurry up and go back to arrange your family matters. It'll be more troublesome if you want to come back in the future.”
"Oh! Oh!" Zhang Yuan Ming put all the money into his pocket, then took the military uniform and carried two bags of flour. He called his family and rushed home.
"Boom!" The crowd exploded.
They did not expect this to be true. They thought that it was just a bluff!
In the past, when the generals and generals recruited people to be soldiers, they would give them a few dollars to settle down. If they were unlucky, they would not get anything.
But now, he could actually get 20 yuan as a settling allowance and two bags of flour. These were all things that could save his life!
"F * ck, I'll do it!”
"Sir, I'll fight with you too!"
"Sir, there's still me!"
"I'll go too!"
"Let's do it!"
……
The young people below began to shout.
In this chaotic era, no one was really that afraid of death. They just wanted to see if their death was worth it.
Now that there was such a person, who had good equipment, a lot of money, and looked like a rich man, it was better than staying at home and starving to death.
Xia Zilong looked at the dozens of people who were shouting and finally felt a little satisfied.
"Good, very good. Everyone, line up in order and sign your names. Then, you can receive your settlement allowance.”
After a while, these people were still signing and queuing up, but Zhang Yuan Ming had already returned.
He was wearing a military uniform, leather shoes, and a big brimmed hat.
Although his clothes and hat were a little crooked, he still looked very energetic.
Those who hadn't received it yet saw him like this and immediately became envious.
"Sir, I've arranged everything. I can go with you at any time!”
Xia Zilong nodded and said,"Alright, wait at the side first!"”
In total, they had recruited more than 40 people in this village, and almost all the young people in the village had been captured.
The two brothers, Liu Shoufu and Liu Shougui, also came in. Xia Zilong had agreed to arrange one of them to be in the logistics department, so the two brothers did not fight.
Under normal circumstances, Xia Zilong would not recruit all the males in the family. However, it was a special period now, so he had to recruit as many people as possible.
Then, they went to other villages to recruit soldiers. Because of these people's stories, the situation went much smoother.
In a few days, Xia Zilong had recruited more than 600 people and barely managed to form a battalion.
According to the organization, this battalion had three infantry companies, a company of ten 105mm M37 self-propelled artillery, an M2 machine gun platoon, and a logistics department with a total of 600 people.
Each company had three platoons and an M2 machine gun support team, a total of 150 people.
Each platoon had three squads, including the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader, a total of thirty-eight people.
Each class had twelve students.
There were cannons and machine guns, but no rifles, which gave Xia Zilong a headache.
He urgently needed a stable source of rifles. Otherwise, he might not be able to defeat the Japanese with just his tanks.
"Marshal, there's no better way now. I'm afraid we can only seize it from the Japanese!”
Xia Zilong nodded in agreement and asked,""How's the investigation going in Xinghe County?”
"The investigation is almost done. In order to deal with the Shanxi and North China battlefields, the Japanese did not have many troops stationed here.
There were only two squadrons of elite Japanese soldiers and a small team with two cannons, a total of more than 500 people. There was also a regiment of puppet Manchurian soldiers and some traitors who had surrendered to them.”
"There are more than 500 elites," Xia Zilong said."With those small fries, there are probably only about 1000 of them. We can barely deal with them."”
Tie Guozhu said," We'll continue using the same tactic we used last time. We'll lure them out and capture them all in one fell swoop. Xinghe County won't have an army that can resist us.”
"Sure, we don't have a better siege force now anyway, so we might as well annihilate them in the wild.”
"Commander, I think we should expand the armored forces. After all, we don't have infantry now. We can only rely on armored forces to fight.”
Xia Zilong glanced at him and smiled.""I know you want to expand your team, but you're right this time. We don't have qualified infantry at the moment, so we can only let you hold them off for now.”
"Commander, how much should we expand?" Tie Guozhu asked with a smile.”
Xia Zilong was stumped.
Although he had already listed these villages as his territory, he did not know if the system would recognize it.
He opened the system to take a look. Fortunately, he was lucky!
After taking back the village, he only had about 3.5 million yuan left.
Now that the number in the system had increased to more than 4 million, it seemed that there were dozens of square kilometers around him that belonged to him.
With money, he could develop well and buy more things.
"What equipment do you think we need now?”
Tie Guozhu thought for a moment and said,"We lack medium-sized tanks that can be used as the main force, and the sky above us is not safe!"”
Xia Zilong said," Don't think about planes for the time being. Before we take down Xinghe, it's not suitable for us to develop an air force."”
"Then send more medium-sized tanks. They are the main force of the battle. These light tanks are not enough!”
Xia Zilong nodded and said," Alright, let's build your tanks first!"”
