The six cannons of the militia could form an artillery unit, but in battle, relying on artillery alone was definitely not enough.
Yang Chen wanted to expand his army, but the Japanese had not left the Gray Cloud Ridge yet. The villagers had not returned yet, so he did not have any soldiers.
Although the militia from the other villages came back to check on the situation, they would not join the militia of Nanzhuang Village.
In this era, the influence of the various villages and clans was very great. It was not easy for the militia of the various villages to merge together.
What Yang Chen could do now was to strengthen the training of the militia. Other than that, he could also get Hu Dali and the others to recruit as many soldiers as possible.
"Captain Chen, Hu Dali said that he would be given a submachine gun if he joined your militia. Is this true?”
"You must be bragging. Their main force doesn't even have many submachine guns.”
"Oh my god, I'm not seeing things, am I? This is a cannon. Your Nanzhuang Village militia actually has a cannon!”
On this day, Yang Chen and Sun Xiu were training with the militia when Hu Dali walked over with a few men dressed in civilian clothes.
These men came in front of Yang Chen and started to ask questions.
Immediately after, when they saw the six cannons, the men widened their eyes and froze on the spot.
"That's right. Join our militia. You can choose any submachine gun or semi-automatic rifle you want.”
Yang Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the men. He quickly asked Zhou Baoguo to take out his weapon.
At present, the militia had six MP34 submachine guns, five M1 Garand rifles, and thousands of bullets.
When the men saw these weapons, both sides lit up and praised the Nanzhuang Village militia for their wealth.
Chen Yangtu's men and the men wanted weapons and equipment, so both sides hit it off. At this point, the militia had expanded to more than twenty people.
According to the size of the militia, Yang Chen and Sun Xiu discussed and organized the team into three squads.
The class leader of the first class was Sun Xiu. There were 15 people in the class, and he was in charge of six cannons.
The second class was led by Zhou Baoguo. There were five people in the class and five Garland rifles.
Class Three, Class President Hu Dali. There were six people in the class and six MP34 submachine guns.
Of course, these three squads were just building the framework first. In the future, when they had enough weapons, equipment, and personnel, they would definitely have to expand.
After all, six cannons was the number of cannons in a company.
After the formation of the troops was completed, Yang Chen led the militia into more active training.
After all, if he had to fight against the well-trained and well-equipped Japanese, he would definitely be at a disadvantage if he did not have a certain level of combat strength.
During the battle of Gray Cloud Ridge, Yang Chen had completely caught the Japanese off guard. If they had been prepared, the militia would not have been their match.
Yang Chen chose to hide first and gradually grow stronger. When he had enough capital, he would fight against the Japanese.
……
In the Japanese 4th Brigade Division, Major General Shinji Kagawa stood in front of the map and listened to the report.
A lieutenant officer in his forties held a baton and gestured back and forth on the map of High Heavens 'Yunling area, introducing his battle plan in detail.
The Sakata United Army had failed and suffered heavy casualties. The First Army was furious.
They sent Yoshida Maya to be the new commander of the Sakata United Army and requested the 4th Brigade to restore the combat effectiveness of the Sakata United Army in a short period of time.
Of course, someone had to bear the responsibility for such a heavy loss.
The unlucky major captain of the second brigade became the scapegoat. He was directly asked to cut open his stomach to apologize.
At this moment, the colonel, who was also the new commander of the Sakata United, Yoshida Maya, was confidently explaining his thoughts.
Yoshida Ma also had a good resume. He had graduated from the Military Academy and Army University. He had served as the captain of the combat troops and a combat staff officer. He had been promoted step by step. He had both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
" Your Excellency, this is what I think. The Sakata United Army has suffered such losses and their morale is very low. If they want to recover their fighting strength, they must first recover their morale, and the best way to recover their morale is to take revenge.”
"As long as we force the troops that broke out of the encirclement to show themselves and completely deal with them, the morale of the Sakata Army will definitely recover. As for the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, we will have time to deal with them after we deal with the 18th Army.”
After Yoshida Ma finished explaining, he saluted Shinji Kagawa.
"Yo, Yoshida-kun's idea is very good. It's no wonder that the military headquarters specially sent a talent. I approve of your battle plan, and the 4th Brigade will fully support your operation. Yoshida-kun, just do it. I trust you.”
After listening to the report, Shinji Kagawa revealed a satisfied smile and immediately agreed.
"Hi, Brigade Leader." Yoshida Ma replied respectfully.
Soon, Yoshida Ma left the Exploration Team Department and returned to the Sakata United Team to prepare for his battle plan.
In the following period of time, the Sakata United Army first replenished the losses on the cannons, and then they replenished their combat supplies.
The Japanese were still stationed around the Gray Cloud Ridge. They were quickly reorganizing.
At the same time, under the command of Yoshida Maya, the Japanese in the Gray Cloud Ridge began a small-scale reconnaissance operation.
Yang Chen's militia quickly noticed the Japanese's actions, but he knew that now was not the time to fight, so he chose to hide.
A few days later, someone from the higher-ups arrived at the Nanzhuang Village militia.
"Captain Chen, the higher-ups have passed down an order. Based on the current situation, they have decided to set up a small team in the Gray Cloud Ridge area, mainly responsible for the investigation of the Japanese. The higher-ups want you to merge your militia teams and be the captain.”
The person who came over was a refined middle-aged man. He directly passed on the order.
However, looking at his slightly troubled expression, Yang Chen knew that the other militia would definitely be against this order.
"Alright, I'll be in charge of the merger of the militia and the district teams.”Yang Chen agreed.
If he didn't receive any orders from the higher-ups, he would definitely be criticized if he wanted to merge the militia.
Now that there was an order, this matter would naturally be carried out more smoothly.
After sending off the middle-aged man, Yang Chen called the three squad leaders together.
"Next, we'll have to carry out live ammunition training. We'll strive to give the team a certain amount of combat strength in the short term. I think it won't be long before there will be combat missions.”
Zhou Baoguo waited for the class monitor to arrive before Yang Chen gave the order.
Through the investigation and search of the Japanese, Yang Chen analyzed that the Japanese would definitely take action in the near future.
The best training was naturally actual combat. The militia had been training for so long. It was time to take them out for a walk.
