Hong Lang smiled." It's difficult to train the soldiers in a short period of time, but it's easier to increase the firepower of the troops."”
Seeing that Lin Zhen was a little embarrassed, Hong Lang immediately explained,"Our situation is rather urgent. We don't have much time to train soldiers. If the situation can stabilize in the future, we have to do this as soon as possible.”
Lin Zheng knew that this sentence was meant for him, so he just nodded silently.
"Alright, since we've decided to increase our firepower, let's choose how to increase our current firepower. Should we increase the number of existing weapons or develop new weapons to replace them?”Hong Lang threw out his own question.
From the perspective of firepower, the new weapons and equipment would definitely have an advantage. However, it would take some time for the soldiers to adapt to these weapons. They would not be able to unleash their maximum firepower in a short period of time. Perhaps they would not be as good as the firepower of the existing weapons on the battlefield.
"Commander, our current military factories are all factories that support existing weapons. If it's just to increase production, this is a small matter.”Lin Zheng continued to suggest," If we update our weapons, then the supporting equipment of the military factory should also be updated. Based on the current situation, our weapons can already suppress the Japanese army. There is indeed no need to rush to update our weapons.”
Lu Chong nodded in agreement.
His two most important assistants thought so, so Hong Lang didn't say anything.
"Then we will increase the production according to the current standards of weapons to cope with the inevitable expansion of our army in the future.”
At this moment, Chen Gao walked in and said calmly,"Commander, outside Guozhuang Village, we stopped a team that claims to be the 58th Regiment of the 36th Division. They want to meet you.”
"Is there a problem with their identities?”Hong Lang asked cautiously.
"After our base investigated, we found that there was no problem with their identities. We still don't know why they came.”Chen Liang also had his own worries.
After a moment of silence, Hong Lang said," Since they're here, it's not good for us to not see them. Please invite them to the meeting room. We'll meet them in a while."”
"Yes, I'll make the arrangements now." Chen Liang turned around and left the table.
"Let's go and see the capabilities of the 36th Division.”Hong Lang picked up the military cap on the table and put it on neatly. He had now transformed into a captain of the Northeast Army.
Although he didn't know what these people's motives were, since they were here, he had to entertain them. Moreover, he was using these people's names.
Under Chen Liang's lead, Tang Yuqi had already entered the meeting room.
The meeting room was not big. Although it had been renovated by the base engineers, it was simply painted white and a long table was placed in the middle of the room.
Tang Yuqi was already sitting in the main seat, looking around.
Hong Lang and the others walked out of the meeting room. The guards standing by the door opened the door, and Hong Lang walked into the meeting room.
Before Hong Lang could enter his seat, Tang Yuqi, who was sitting in his seat, saw Hong Lang's military rank with his sharp eyes. When he saw that he was only a captain, he finally relaxed.
With a smile on his face, he stood up and walked over. He said in a very familiar manner,"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tang Yuqi, the commander of the 58th Regiment of the 36th Division.”
After Hong Lang knew what Tang Yuqi meant, he immediately raised his right hand and saluted. "Hello, Regiment Commander. I'm the captain of the Rehe Security Brigade, Hong Lang.”
Tang Yuqi immediately raised his hand to return the greeting." Commander Hong, nice to meet you." But what's with this Rehe Security Brigade?”Rehe had never had such a military establishment. It seemed that Hong Lang had not made things clear.
"Ah, you mean this." Hong Lang looked at his chest and said with a smile," Commander Tang, please don't take offense. We used to be part of the Fengtian Security Brigade. After the 918th incident, we retreated all the way to Rehe and lost contact with the headquarters. We had no choice but to stop here. After confirming that this was the Rehe River, for the convenience of our movements, we changed Fengtian to the Rehe River.”
"Understood." Tang Yuqi laughed. Although he didn't agree with Hong Lang's words, it didn't affect his main purpose of coming here today. "It's understandable in a chaotic world."
After both parties were done, Hong Lang took the initiative to ask,""May I know why Commander Tang is here today?”
"I also received a report from the surrounding people that there was an armed force here. In order to ensure the safety of our army, I decided to come and take a look personally.”Tang Yuqi said with a smile. "I just didn't expect that this armed force was actually Feng Jun's own brother. I'm relieved.”
"I'm really sorry to have Commander Tang come here personally.”Hong Lang replied politely.
"We're all brothers, so there's no need to be so polite.”Tang Yu wanted to get to the main topic since she had finished the small talk. "Since we're brothers, I won't beat around the bush.”
Hong Lang had an expression of understanding as he extended his right hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Tang Yuqi felt sorry for his brothers in front of him. He cleared his throat and said,"This time, I'm carrying the order of Tang Yulin, the leader of Rehe Province and the commander of the 36th Division. In view of Company Commander Hong and your team's strength, the provincial leader wants you to be the colonel of the 36th Division's Independent Regiment and the county head of South County to be in charge of the anti-Japanese affairs in Luanhe County.”
The other party was really direct. Hong Lang did not beat around the bush and immediately replied,"I absolutely don't want the trust of the provincial leaders and teachers. I wholeheartedly fight against the Japanese for the elders, brothers, and sisters of South County.”
"Alright, I believe that Commander Hong…isn't Commander Hong now, so he can definitely give us a hand.”Tang Yuqi stood up and clapped. He took the flag of the Independent Regiment from the soldier beside him and handed it to Hong Lang.
"Regiment Commander Hong, this is the flag of the independent regiment.”Tang Yuqi sounded very serious.
"Yes, sir!" Hong Lang received the flag with both hands and answered solemnly.
"The matters of the independent regiment can be decided by Commander Hong alone, including the appointment and dismissal of personnel. The division headquarters will definitely not interfere. Do you have anything else to say?" Tang Yuqi didn't mention the matter of giving Hong Lang the materials. If he could exempt Hong Lang, then he could keep the money for himself.
"No more questions." Hong Lang immediately gave Chen Liang a look. Chen Liang immediately understood and walked forward. "Commander Tang, you've had a tough journey. We've already prepared some food and wine.”
"Then I'll accept your offer." Commander Tang was all smiles as he left the conference room and walked toward the dining area.
