January 1st, 1940, in the abandoned courtyard of a landlord in the countryside outside Linfeng City.
"At the beginning of the new year, all levels of the 369th Regiment are gathered here.”
A round of applause rang out in the courtyard. A young man sitting on a bench had a smile on his face as his gaze slowly swept across the officers of all levels in the courtyard.
It had been three months since Gu Xun had transmigrated to this time and space. When he first found himself in this chaotic era, he could not help but feel his scalp go numb.
In this era, human lives were worthless. Even the commander of the Chinese army might die under the bullets of some nameless soldier in some battle.
Fortunately, Gu Xun had obtained the standard of a transmigrator-the system!
The items that could be exchanged in the system covered all the items that humans could produce in the 20th century, and the exchange of system items required points in the system.
There were three main ways to obtain points:
1. Enlarge the army. Every soldier under Gu Xun's direct command will provide him with 2 points every day.
2. Killing enemies. Every time the army under Gu Xun's command kills an enemy, they will give Gu Xun points. The specific benefits will vary according to the enemy's military rank and importance.
3. Accomplish achievements, such as "The number of soldiers reaches 1000","Occupy the first county","Give every soldier a gun", etc. In addition, building and hammering wonders can also provide Gu Xun with a large number of points.
In the previous three months, Gu Xun, who had obtained the system, was not in a hurry to start a war with the island army. Instead, he spent all his energy on managing the army. The points he obtained from signing in the previous month were all used to arm his guard company.
With the carrot and stick, Gu Xun could at least guarantee his absolute authority in Regiment 369.
Gu Xun, who was sitting on the bench, cleared his throat and said,"
"Everyone, our military discipline has been very fruitful in the past three months. Congratulations. I hope that everyone will continue to maintain it in the coming year.”
The other military officers in the courtyard looked at Gu Xun who was smiling. Even though they had complaints in their hearts, they could only brace themselves and applaud with the others to show their support.
Ever since their young regiment commander had a high fever three months ago, his temperament had changed drastically after he woke up, making them tremble with fear every day.
Glancing at the officers in the courtyard who were as quiet as cicadas in winter and didn't even dare to breathe loudly, Gu Xun couldn't help but smile.
I have guns, money, and the morale of the army.
"I gathered everyone here today mainly to arrange the focus of work for the next year.”
The other officers all sat upright and held their breaths, afraid that they had missed out on any of Gu Xun's words.
Gu Xun was quite satisfied with everyone's obedient reaction.
I like how you can't get rid of me, but you have no choice but to build a great army with me.
"First of all, I have already contacted the source of weapons, equipment, and supplies for everyone. Everyone, just focus on training to the death so that the new recruits of my 369th Regiment can become an army as soon as possible!”
The officers of the 369th Regiment couldn't figure out how Gu Xun managed to gather the equipment of the security company overnight. Gu Xun didn't give them a detailed explanation either. He only said that he had a stable source and let them make wild guesses.
They had no choice but to believe that Gu Xun had his own connections. The dense number of machine guns on the guards could testify.
And now, Gu Xun announced to them that he had solved the problem of the entire regiment's weapons and supplies, making them ecstatic!
The guards had been coveting the equipment of the imperialists for a long time.
America's Garland semi-automatic rifle, Germany's MG-34 general machine gun, and Japan's Type 89 grenade launcher were the main weapons equipped by the guard company.
The reason why the Chinese army had been defeated repeatedly on the battlefield was because of the difference in the quality of their soldiers and the backward construction of their army. However, the huge gap in weapons and supplies was undoubtedly the main reason!
The Chinese army was not much weaker than the San Ba Army, but the Chinese army lacked the suppressive firepower of light and heavy machine guns. The difference in firepower between the Chinese army and the island army was at least an order of magnitude, and the quality was also difficult to compare with the island army.
Grenades, grenade launchers, mortars, and other basic firepower were even more scarce, and the supply capacity was almost zero.
The island army's logistics could only maintain a supply line of about 200 kilometers, but the Chinese army basically had no supply of weapons and ammunition. After the ammunition they had brought before the war was exhausted, they had no choice but to charge forward and fight with their bayonet.
This was how the Chinese army managed to achieve a trade ratio of nearly ten to one on the battlefield. As time passed, China's remaining industrial capabilities became weaker and weaker, and the situation continued to worsen.
"Also, is the person in charge of political work here?”
As soon as Gu Xun finished speaking, an officer raised his hand.
"Yes!"
Gu Xun gently pressed on the joints of his fingers and said in a deep voice,"
"Your next job is to recruit soldiers! Recruit soldiers at all costs! I can afford as many as you can recruit! When my 369th Regiment is fully loaded and trained, it will be time to lay our cards on the table with the Japanese.”
"But let me remind you that the recruitment of soldiers must follow the principle of voluntary recruitment. If anyone dares to pull the same trick again, I will personally kill him!”
The officer who was appointed by Gu Xun to be in charge of recruitment raised his hand again and said,"
"Leader, this may bring some difficulties to our work. I wonder if you have any other instructions…"
Gu Xun knew that he was telling the truth, but the problem of the soldiers had to be solved.
It was necessary to recruit young adults from the countryside to join the army, but they had to pay attention to the method.
"When you are promoting, you must remember the main points that I am going to say next.”Gu Xun thought for a moment and gave the order.
"I, Gu Xun, will never let my soldiers fight the Japanese on an empty stomach. As long as they become soldiers of my 369th Regiment, they will have meat every week! There's rice every day!"
The officer in charge of the recruitment work was stunned on the spot. The other officers could not help but whisper after hearing Gu Xun's words.
China's productivity was really too weak. Even the average small landlord could not eat rice every day.
And the group leader actually wanted to offer the condition of having rice every day?
Eating meat every week was simply a godly life that only big landowners could live!
Where did the group leader find so many things?
Gu Xun smiled and stopped talking. He looked at the officers below as if they had seen a ghost.
Guns could not be used as food. Every soldier under Gu Xun's command could contribute 2 points to Gu Xun every day. According to Gu Xun's own calculations, he could afford to eat meat every day. However, for the current 369th Regiment, the need for guns and soldiers was more urgent.
The officers of the 369th Regiment did not doubt the attractiveness of this offer. Even they did not have such good food. As long as the news was released, the threshold of the 369th Regiment would be broken!
At that time, the regiment commander might not be able to support the needs of so many soldiers. In order to have a full meal, the Chinese would really dare to risk their lives.
