Huang Jianfei, a company commander, was also there. He was so excited that he was incoherent."Battalion Commander, another group of people has arrived outside! He said that there are hundreds of workers at Huishan Port who want to join you!”
"There's more, there's more!" "One of the foremen said that they know of an ammunition warehouse where foreigners sell weapons and equipment. They want to give it to the company commander!" Wang Mazi said.”
"Oh? This is a good thing. Brother Shaofu, why don't you go and take a look with me?”
Zhou Weiguo looked calm.
These were all soldiers that he had summoned. How could he not be calm?
Sun Shaofu was very surprised.
Was there such a patriotic group of gowns workers in Shanghai?
Then why not join the main forces of the various divisions?
Then, he thought about it and understood. The workers must have heard that Zhou Weiguo was good at fighting the Japanese and came here because of his reputation. They couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts.
When he saw these so-called dock workers, he was shocked again.
In a large warehouse, hundreds of people stood upright like javelins, lined up neatly without a single noise.
Moreover, he was tall and strong. Other than his messy clothes, he looked more like an elite than the recruits in the replenishment company.
One of the two leaders had a dignified appearance and a sturdy figure, while the other was thin and tall, looking a little hooligan.
Seeing that someone had come, the tall and thin man stepped forward with a smile and asked,""Um, may I know which one of you is Officer Zhou Weiguo?”
"I am." Zhou Weiguo pretended to bow.
The tall and thin man revealed an admiring expression and hurriedly said,"Hello, Officer Zhou! I'm Long Wenzhang, I've heard a lot about your reputation for fighting the devils. Now that I've seen you, you're really a young hero!”
"You're welcome." Zhou Weiguo's mouth twitched and he cursed in his heart. How did this random Hero Card draw such trash…
"Brother Long, why did you join the army? However, he knew that there was no joking around on the battlefield. Once a gun was picked up, it would be difficult to put it down.”
"Sir, you underestimate us workers!”
Long Wenzhang said rather proudly," We used to work as stevedores at Huishan Port. To put it bluntly, we were just coolies. Now that the war has started, everyone is unwilling to be an accomplice to the devils, so we stopped working spontaneously.”
"I heard that your team has killed many Japanese in the past few days. It's inspiring and brings honor to our country, so I organized my colleagues to come to you. A total of 405 people. As long as we can drive the Japanese out of China, we'll do anything you want!”
Another man stepped forward and said," Officer Zhou, my name is Chen Feng. I was a company commander in the Northeast Army. On September 18th, Zhang Shao Shuai fled without fighting. I was so angry that I took a dozen of my brothers and left the Northeast Army to make a living in the south.”
"But we hate it!"
"Seven years ago, we lost our home. Now that we're finally able to live a few days of peace, the Japanese are chasing after us again!”
"These few days, I couldn't sleep listening to the gunshots of the national army brothers fighting the devils. Coincidentally, Boss Long organized people to join the army, so we all came. In short, as long as we can fight the devils, we won't complain even if we die!”
These words were impassioned and filled with patriotic feelings. Zhou Weiguo's heart was deeply touched.
"Good! You're all good!"
He saluted again and said in a deep voice," The country is in danger. My fellow workers have the heart to save the country and the people. I, Zhou Weiguo, cannot stop you. I will take you in!" And I promise that I will bring you to kill more Japanese and fight back to your hometown in the northeast!”
"Thank you, Officer Zhou!"
Chen Feng saluted.
Long Wenzhang lowered his voice and said,"Officer Zhou, I used to work for the foreigners. I know that there is a secret arsenal of the foreign devils nearby."”
"Oh?" Zhou Weiguo revealed an interested expression.""Where is it?"
.........
Ten minutes later, under Long Wenzhang's guidance, Zhou Weiguo brought his men to an abandoned church of foreign devils.
The extracted equipment was in the hall of the church.
Tanks, trucks, howitzers, mortars, mines, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, rifles, pistols, grenades, explosives, everything was available.
Looking at the mountain of weapons and equipment, Zhou Weiguo looked at Sun Shaofu and smiled like a wolf.""Brother Shaofu, our 1st Battalion is rich!”
"What? Err... is... The 1st Battalion is rich!"
Sun Shaofu's eyes were wide open, and he finally managed to shift his gaze away from the M1 Howitzers.
When he saw Zhou Weiguo's smiling face, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly said,""Congratulations, Brother Weiguo. These weapons and ammunition are probably enough to arm a regiment.”
"There's no need to congratulate me. This isn't mine, it's our battalion's.”
"Look." Zhou Weiguo put his arm around his shoulder and smiled.""The 1st Battalion originally had more than 300 people. Now, with the addition of two recruit companies and a machine gun platoon, plus 400 workmates, it's enough to form a reinforced battalion.”
"Now that the personnel and equipment are all here, I'm too short of competent officers. I can't handle it at all!”
"Stay, Brother Shaofu. It doesn't matter which of us brothers becomes Battalion Commander.”
"We don't want anything else. We just want to drive the Japanese out of Songhu as soon as possible! Chase out Yan Huang! How about creating a peaceful and prosperous era for his descendants?”
" This…" Sun Shaofu's expression changed.
"Sigh ~~!"
Seeing Zhou Weiguo's bright eyes, he let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly."Brother Weiguo, if I don't agree to your big accusation, I'm afraid I'll become a sinner of my nation, right? I don't dare to be your battalion commander, I'll just be your assistant.”
"Hahaha! Good!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo grinned.""Alright! Brother Shaofu is very righteous and is a role model for our soldiers! Wang Mazi, go pick a good spear for Deputy Sun! Brother Shaofu, regarding the reorganization of the army, what do you think?"
Zhou Weiguo pulled Sun Shaofu, who was sleepwalking, and called Huang Jianfei, Wang Weiguo, Long Wenzhang, and Chen Feng over. They began to count the equipment and discuss how to reorganize the troops.
Sun Shaofu was also a straightforward person. He saw the potential of Zhou Weiguo and the 1st Battalion and was very active.
