Su Liancheng moved closer to Gu Xun and whispered in a voice that no one else could hear,"
"Our 369th Regiment is growing in size. Although it is still called a regiment, it is no different from a brigade. The regiment commander had always been strict in enforcing the law. Although some people did not say it, they must have harbored resentment towards the regiment commander.”
"The Regimental Commander's actions can be said to be his love for the soldiers. All the soldiers in the army are deeply grateful to the Regimental Commander. But for some officers, I'm afraid it's hard to say…"
Gu Xun nodded slightly. He understood what Su Liancheng meant.
Reorganizing military discipline was never an easy task.
When the 369th Regiment was still a regiment, the security company had the absolute advantage in firepower and numbers. But what about when the 369th Regiment was a brigade?
Gu Xun could only complete his vision for the future if he lived first.
"Liancheng."
"Yes!"
"Pick out those with clean identities and reliable character from the recruits to supplement the guard company. We will temporarily expand the guard company to about 400 people.”
"Maybe we can call it the Guard Battalion, but after all, we're still a regiment in name. It's more appropriate to call it the Guard Company. There's no need to be entangled in this name.”
Su Liancheng was overjoyed and nodded slightly."Understood!"
Gu Xun smiled and pointed at the new recruits who were practicing assassination.""Let's go and take a look."
It was rare for a duel to happen on the battlefields of Europe. However, in the battlefields of China, where the level of skills was low and the intensity was low, it was still common for hand-to-hand battles to happen.
Not only was the quality of the Chinese army's weapons and equipment far inferior to the foreign countries, but the Chinese army was also inferior in terms of numbers. It was obvious that they did not match their population.
With a population of 400 million, China's military strength was only around 6 million at its peak. However, with a population of 100 million, the number of deaths in the Su country's military during World War II alone reached 8 million! The total death toll was close to 27 million!
This was the number of deaths, not the number of casualties. Nearly a quarter of the country's population had died, and a generation had truly died in battle.
The US, with a total population of about 100 million, had a total of 12 million soldiers at the end of World War II.
This was the difference between an industrial country and an agricultural country. China had only mobilized six million soldiers even after risking their lives, while the total number of soldiers mobilized by the United States and the Soviet Union, which only had about a quarter of the population, exceeded ten million, and the total number of soldiers mobilized by the Soviet Union was close to twenty million.
" If only we could recruit soldiers in Si Chuan…" Gu Xun sighed silently.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Si Chuan contributed about 40% of the soldiers and 50% of the money and food. It was an indisputable fact that an army could not be formed without a river.
Retracting his thoughts, Gu Xun placed his hands behind his back and observed the recruit's assassination training with Su Liancheng, who was standing one step behind him.
Even in the future, the Chinese army, which only the United States could fight against, still maintained assassination training.
In situations where there was no actual combat, assassination training could train the soldiers 'courage and release pressure through shouting.
Gu Xun's order to the officers was to " train to the death ", and the shouts of the recruits and the sweat on their faces proved that the officers had indeed carried out this order without any discount.
Especially when he saw the recruits 'eyes that were almost spitting fire, Gu Xun was even more satisfied.
That was more like it. He had never seen a strong army that lacked blood and anger.
The daily rice and weekly meat were not for nothing. Gu Xun would not be stingy with the money and points he should spend, but he would not waste a single cent.
In a few more months, as batches of new recruits officially formed, the 369th Regiment would definitely be considered the top of the Chinese army.
The best logistics, the best weapons and equipment, the strictest training, all combined to form an army that looked the strongest on the surface.
Gu Xun didn't dare to say that the soldiers of Regiment 369 were the best, but they were definitely the best.
Gu Xun didn't have enough and suitable talents now. It was easy to turn the army into a ditch by blindly building up their ideology. In the future, when there were more talents, they would definitely arrange for the education of ideology and culture.
He practiced shooting during the day and learned to read at night. Gu Xun did not believe that he could not create a strong army that could fight and carry.
"Kill them!"
Once again, the recruits 'orderly and angry shouts rang out in the open space. Gu Xun nodded in satisfaction and prepared to bring Su Liancheng to continue observing the training of the other recruits.
The bayonet that Gu Xun gave to the 369th Regiment was a triangular bayonet. It was not because of its superior performance, but because it was easy to forge and not easy to break.
This could be seen from the system's item exchange points. The other bayonet that appeared after World War II generally required three to five times the points of the three-edged bayonet. From this, it could be seen what the status of the three-edged bayonet was.
If the triple-edged bayonet was as powerful as the marketing accounts of the later generations, the military would not be so eager to replace it as soon as they had some money and industrial foundation.
…………
At the end of July 1940, at the headquarters of Regiment 369.
Gu Xun was still sitting in front of the old wooden table. Liang Xu, who was in charge of the recruitment work, was reporting to him about the situation in the past six months.
"In summary, the total number of members in our 369th Regiment has reached about 9100. It is estimated that it will exceed 10,000 this month.”
Liang Xu put his legs together and saluted Gu Xun.
Gu Xun supported his chin and said with a puzzled look,
"9100 people…that's almost the size of a division.”
"When we fight the next battle, if we do well, the day when we officially become a teacher won't be far away.”
Liang Xu looked at Gu Xun, who seemed to be talking to himself, and did not dare to say anything.
"Well done. You've worked hard these days.”Gu Xun looked up at Liang Xu and suddenly laughed.
"Thank you for your praise."
"However, you still have to continue working hard.”Gu Xun suddenly said.
Liang Xu was stunned for a moment before he said happily,"
"What you mean is…"
Gu Xun nodded."
"You will continue to be in charge of the recruitment work.”
" However, I don't blame you for the fact that we might encounter a bottleneck in the recruitment process in the short term. Our development is still too limited to the northwest of Shanxi.”
"When we expand our scope of activity to the entire Jin Province, you have to be prepared. I don't necessarily need you to pull out a reserve army of 100,000 people!”
Liang Xu suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and suppressed his emotions that were almost out of control. He gritted his teeth and promised Gu Xun,
"Thanks to the regiment commander's love, Liang Xu will not fail!”
"Go ahead."
Gu Xun waved his hand to send Liang Xu away. His eyes darkened slightly. After thinking for a long time, he finally shouted to the door,
"Liancheng!"
The old wooden door was pushed open. Su Liancheng stood at attention and said,"Guild Leader, you were looking for me?"
Gu Xun said in a deep voice,"
"Liancheng, inform the rest of the regiment to start checking the weapons and ammunition situation. All the companies training outside have entered a state of alert.”
Gu Xun tapped his knuckles on the table and said slowly,"
"It's been seven months. We've almost recruited enough soldiers in Southwest Jin. It's time to prepare for a big fight.”
