1939, January 5th, E Province, Nanzhang County, inside the puppet army camp.
Li Yan stood on the high platform and stared at the 2000 puppet soldiers without saying a word.
Half a month ago, Li Yan brought the system to the Republic of China in 1939.
His identity was a little awkward. He was the commander of Nanzhang County's puppet army.
Last year, the war in Han Province broke out. The national army gathered 30 armies of nearly a million people and launched a major battle with the Japanese army along the north and south banks of Chang River. The entire battlefield spread across the four provinces of Wan, Yu, Gan, and Hubei.
The Xia army's strategic goal was to stop the Japanese army and delay their attack speed.
Unfortunately, due to the difference in weapons and quality of soldiers, the Xia army suffered another crushing defeat.
After fighting against the main force of the Japanese army for nearly four months, the Xia army chose to withdraw from the battlefield along the Chang River to preserve their strength.
As the Xia army retreated in defeat, the Japanese army marched straight in and swept through the central hinterland. More than half of E Province fell because of this and became the Japanese war zone.
And the Nanzhang County puppet army was the Nanzhang County Security Corps.
After the Japanese army took over Nanzhang County, the former head of security in Nanzhang County directly joined the Japanese army and became the Hong Association Army.
Originally, Li Yan was only a deputy regiment commander. However, the previous regiment commander was assassinated by the Central Bureau's secret agents, so Li Yan naturally took over the position of regiment commander.
As a transmigrator, and in this chaotic world, Li Yan naturally knew the importance of a spear.
This fake army of more than 2000 people was the foundation for him to settle down.
On the high platform, Li Yan looked at the soldiers who were lined up in rows and nodded in satisfaction.
Nanzhang County's fake army was an army on the surface, but their combat strength was not impressive.
99% of the members of the puppet army became puppet soldiers just to make a living.
Ever since Li Yan took over the position of regiment commander, he immediately conducted a two-week-long training for the members of the fake legion 2020.
The training subjects were very simple, nothing more than physical training and formation training.
"Guild Leader, everyone has been standing for half an hour. Why don't we let them rest for a while?”Nanzhang County's puppet army's deputy commander, Zheng Sanlin, spoke while wiping his sweat.
"Young Master, the weather is too hot. If we continue training, I'm afraid everyone will get a heatstroke!”Beside him, Li Yong, who had just been promoted to the 1st Battalion Commander by Li Yan, echoed.
Li Yong was the son of the housekeeper of the Li Residence. He was tall and strong, and had been Li Yan's follower since he was young.
Li Yan had two identities. Other than being the puppet army commander of Nanzhang County, he was also the sole heir of the Li family in Nanzhang County.
The Li family of Nanzhang was very famous in the entire Xiangyang area. They were the true landowners.
"How many times have I told you? This is the military camp. Don't call me Young Master.”Li Yan turned to look at Li Yong with a cold gaze and said in an unusually stern tone.
Seeing this scene, Li Yong burst into laughter and quickly saluted loudly,"Yes, Guild Leader."
Then, Li Yan stared at the puppet soldiers below and said loudly,""I know that everyone has been training hard recently. Although we are the Rainbow Association Army, we still have to act like soldiers.”
"If you don't want to lose your life on the battlefield, then you have to practice all kinds of military skills to improve your survivability.”
"You only have one life. If you lose your life, then you have nothing!”
Hearing Li Yan's words, the soldiers of the puppet army looked at each other, and then someone shouted loudly.
"Regiment Commander, as long as we have meat to eat and rice to eat every day, no matter how much we train, it won't be a problem!”
"Guild Leader, it's almost noon. When are we going to eat?”
“…………………”
The shouts made Li Yan's face turn black. Although these guys barely looked like soldiers, they still thought about lunch, as if eating was the most important thing.
"Dismissed. The training plan for the afternoon remains unchanged. Anyone who dares to be absent or slack off will be shot directly!”Li Yan said with a dark face. His sharp eyes swept across every puppet soldier, and no one dared to look him in the eye.
At the beginning of the training, there were five or six people who refused to be disciplined and were directly executed by Li Yan on the spot.
Such a decisive and ruthless style allowed Li Yan to establish a great prestige in the pseudo army.
Of course, Li Yan understood the principle of giving a big stick a sweet date.
Since the start of the training, Li Yan had spent money to buy 30 fat pigs and a large number of fruits and vegetables, greatly improving the food standards of the puppet army.
It was precisely because the food was good and they were full that these puppet soldiers were willing to accept the training.
Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
At this moment, footsteps were heard. A signalman ran over and reported,"Regiment Commander, Major Kawasaki wants you to go over!”
"Kawasaki Hideo, what is he looking for?”Li Yan frowned and replied,"Inform Major Kawasaki. I'll be there immediately."?”
"Understood, Guild Leader!" the signalman said loudly.
…………………
Although Nanzhang County was only a small county, it was the gateway to the northwest of Hunan.
The Japanese Army had a full brigade stationed in Nanzhang County, with a total of 1200 people. Kawasaki Hideo was the captain of this brigade.
The organization of the Japanese army was different from the Xia army. From low to high, the Japanese army's organization was divided into teams, squads, squadrons, battalions, regiments, divisions, and legions.
It could be said that the Kawasaki Battalion stationed in Nanzhang County could at least defeat two ordinary regiments of the Xia army.
Soon, under the escort of his personal guards, Li Yan passed through more than half of the county and arrived at the Kawasaki Brigade's station.
After passing the inspection, Li Yan went to Kawasaki Hideo's office.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Li Yan knocked on the door. After receiving permission, he pushed the door open and entered.
"Li Sang, please sit!" In the office, Kawasaki Hideo stood up from his chair and invited Li Yan to sit down.
After sitting down, Li Yan smiled and looked at Kawasaki Hideo."Major Kawasaki, is there anything important?”
"Li Sang, this is the order that Commander Asamura gave to the 106th division.”Kawasaki Hideo took out a red document and handed it to Li Yan.
In the central summer region, the main force of the Japanese army was the central summer dispatch army.
The Japanese army was divided into two armies, the 2nd and 11th.
The commander of the Japanese army's mid-summer troops was General Junliu, while Okamura Yasuji was the commander of the 11th army. The entire 11th army had four divisions, and the Kawasaki Brigade belonged to the 106th division of the Japanese army. Its commander was Lieutenant General Ito Masayoshi.
