"Alright then, tell them to come to Lindian County to find me!”Zhang Hanshen could not ask for more. With the current situation, Zhang Hanshen's troops did not lack ammunition, weapons, uniforms, or rations. They did not even lack transportation. Even the fuel trucks were unlocked!
However, Zhang Hanshen lacked food.
These grains were important items to stabilize the people's hearts and were also strategic 'weapons' to stabilize the rear.
In the near future, there would be a series of battles with the Guandong Army. Zhang Hanshen's own army would not lack military rations, and there was no need to levy local taxes. However, in areas where war occurred, it would definitely affect normal production. Without sufficient food reserves, how could they deal with the Guandong Army? How could they strengthen their forces to welcome the large-scale war that would come later?
There were also medicines, especially anti-inflammatory drugs like Aspirin. They had to be prepared!
If Zhang Hanqing wanted weapons and equipment, he could give him some! It was used to exchange for medicine and food!
However, with the current number of people in the army, Zhang Hanshen could not get much equipment!
They still had to recruit soldiers!
In a short while, because his personal level had risen to two-star, the 80 people that the system had given him had already arrived.
Because Zhang Hanshen had mentioned not to be the same in this batch, the system had set the appearance to be random. In the end, there were people of all shapes and sizes. Fortunately, only the appearance was different, and their combat strength was the same as the first batch.
The second batch of man-made soldiers were all incorporated into the reinforced company.
Without waiting for them to catch their breath, Zhang Hanshen sent them out to the delivery location of a large number of light, medium, and heavy mortars and MG42 general machine guns.
"Zhang Hu, we need to hurry up with the recruitment work. The Anti-Japanese Special Forces have already been reorganized into a division level combat unit.”
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Hu stood at attention reflexively, but he immediately realized what Zhang Hanshen had said. He said in surprise," Chief has become a teacher?!"
"Yes." Zhang Hanshen did not react at all. He was just a teacher!
"That's great! Since the Chief has been promoted, then our Independent Battalion can also be promoted, right?”
"As long as we have enough people, we can do whatever we want with regiments, brigades, divisions, or even armies. Who can interfere?”Zhang Hanshen gave him a sidelong glance." Also, you have to get used to it quickly. Our troops do not belong to anyone or any faction! No one can give us orders! Do you understand?"
"Isn't that the same as rebelling?" Zhang Hu blurted out.”
"That's right! Zhang Hanqing had already run away, and the three eastern provinces were handed over to the Japanese. What was wrong with me causing a rebellion?”
Zhang Hu was speechless.
"I understand, Battalion Commander. It's your humble servant who didn't realize it. In the future, your humble servant will remember your teachings.”
……
The newly unlocked weapon had arrived.
Now, Zhang Hanshen's unlocked weapons ranged from rifles to light machine guns and heavy machine guns.
Mortars of various calibers.
Zhang Hanshen was now strong enough to support a medium-scale battle!
Although the number of soldiers was less than 1,000, they had advanced weapons and sufficient ammunition.
On the third day, Zhang Hu reported that he had recruited another three hundred men, increasing the total number of soldiers to one thousand and one hundred!
However, Zhang Hanshen was not satisfied at all. He called Zhang Hu over and had a one-hour meeting. Then, the independent camp announced that anyone who joined the independent camp could receive two military meals.
In just a few days, there was an endless stream of people who signed up to join the army. Some even rushed over from dozens of miles away.
Only then did Zhang Hanshen know how serious the problem of food reserves for the people in Lindian County and the surrounding villages was.
Zhang Hanshen's move had indeed recruited soldiers in a very short period of time. The number of soldiers in the independent battalion had expanded to 3,000 in an instant!
A considerable proportion of people were actually unqualified. Zhang Hu did not like them, but Zhang Hanshen accepted them all.
In a good name, it was to give these people more benefits.
But in fact, the more troops he had, the more weapons and equipment he could buy through the system.
Money was limitless, so why would Zhang Hanshen care about the burden?
As for those who had not undergone training, it was not bad to put them in the rear as logistics or labor. It was fine as long as they were not sent to the battlefield.
It was the best of both worlds. Not only did it expand the army, but the military meals purchased were also distributed, greatly aiding many families.
Zhang Hanshen's reputation in Lindian County had increased greatly.
However, the Japanese would not give him too much time to develop. Just as Zhang Hanshen was organizing the reserve recruits for military training, Qi Qiha 'er and Da Qing sent news from two directions. The Japanese were sending troops from two directions, heading towards Lindian County!
