After gathering a group of craftsmen, the construction of the underground warehouse began.
The engineers were full of energy, and Zhang Hanshen was there personally. After inspecting, he found that the underground warehouse could be expanded on a large scale.
An idea flashed through his mind.
It was precisely because he was cautious about future wars that Zhang Hanshen planned to build a larger underground warehouse. Other than storing supplies more discreetly and safely, it could also be like the underground bomb shelters built in many large cities in China in the future. Once a major war or a large-scale air raid by the enemy occurred, the civilians could be immediately moved to the bomb shelter.
……
"General Yu, I still can't accept this appointment. The Young Marshal is simply playing around. Asking you to go to Lindian County…"
"Shut up! Old Wang, you're also an old man who fought alongside me under the command of the Northern Ocean Jade Marshal. Why are you as talkative as those ignorant people?”
Marshal Yu was Wu Peifu. Like Yu Xiaozhong, he was from Penglai, Shandong Province. He was indebted to Yu Xiaozhong.
"But you, a dignified lieutenant general, only gave it to a teacher. What is this! The major didn't even say whether it was you or that brat who was still wet behind the ears who was in charge. This was too magical!”
The car was bumpy, and Yu Xiaozhong's eyes shone as he looked out of the window.
"Old Wang, you don't understand. Put away your arrogance! So what if he was a lieutenant general? So what if he was a general, let alone a lieutenant general? Our 300,000-strong Northeast Army retreated without even firing a shot at the Japanese. What face do we have to be so proud of ourselves?”
"Also, with only one battalion, they were able to defeat two of the Japanese infantry brigades! Can you achieve such a feat? Anyway, I can't! Old Wang! The new generation surpasses the old. You can't look down on others!”
"General Yu, if you give me powerful firepower, I can do it too! Who doesn't know how to suppress with firepower?"
Yu Xiaozhong sneered,"Old Wang, you only know how to talk!" This time, when we go to Lindian County, you have to restrain those troublemakers. Don't cause trouble for me.”
……
Zhang Hanshen's troops were now officially promoted to the rank of a teacher. They were now an independent division under the 2nd Corps of the 1st Corps.
Of course, this was the traditional name of the Northeast Army. In fact, after the change of banner in the Northeast, they still had the official name of the National Revolutionary Army. It was just that the military system of the Northeast Army was not used to the name of the National Revolutionary Army.
Zhang Hanshen, a twelve-year-old colonel, had broken the world record.
The personal guard company, reinforced company, 1st company, 2nd company, and revenge company were all upgraded to regimental combat units.
However, there were still not many frontline troops. The number of people was still the same as before. They accounted for less than one-tenth of the troops.
The second-line troops, which were also the reserves, had a total of 9,000 people!
This wasn't the main point. The main point was that Lindian County's people were surprisingly united because of the victory against the devils. Even the people from the surrounding counties rushed to Lindian County with their families, hoping to seek shelter from Zhang Hanshen's independent division and live a stable life.
Zhang Hanshen did not refuse anyone.
He also specially sent a group of people to open up wasteland. The first batch of cement and bricks was used to build houses to accommodate the people from other counties who came to join the independent division.
Zhang Hu and the others had complained about this, saying that they should build the military camp first.
Zhang Hanshen told him that the people came first before the army.
As long as the hearts of the people were on their side, the soldiers would use their lives!
The military camp could be built one step later. As long as the reputation of being kind to the people spread, there would definitely be huge gains!
While Zhang Hanshen was busy with the construction, Yu Xiaozhong's 8th division arrived at the Nianzishan District.
Immediately after, Yu Xiaozhong led the 8th division and joined forces with Ma Zhanshan's troops to attack Qiqi 'er.
