At the Luo Town Security Regiment headquarters, a messenger walked in with a telegram.
"Reporting to the commander, Ying Tian City has called. Qiongya Security Regiment, loyal and patriotic, and meritorious in killing the enemy, will be promoted to Qiongya Independent Brigade, under the jurisdiction of 521st, 522nd, and 523rd Regiment.
Zhong Yu, the former commander of the security regiment, had made meritorious service in commanding. He is now appointed as the brigade commander of Qiongya Independent Brigade. He will be a colonel and the list of other officers under his command will be submitted as soon as possible. The lack of soldiers and equipment of the independent brigade will be prioritized.
On September 2, the twenty-sixth year of Zhongxia, the first day of the first day of the first day ”
A short telegram had upgraded Zhong Yu's local security regiment to a regular independent brigade, but Zhong Yu was not too touched by it.
His troops didn't rely on Old Chang's salary to survive, so they could develop as they pleased.
However, Old Chang's last sentence of giving priority to replenishing soldiers and equipment could bring many practical benefits to Zhong Yu.
The benefits of upgrading the troops were obvious, but so were the problems.
Zhong Yu lacked high-ranking officers!
Previously, the highest combat level in the army was only at the level of a battalion. The elite soldiers recruited from the Red Alert base could barely hold the position of battalion commander. However, now that the army had been upgraded, it was obviously impossible to still use Red Alert soldiers as the regiment commander.
Perhaps they would be able to become high-ranking officers after the war, but judging from the current situation.
Difficult!
"Where should I find him? Forget it, let's just leave it for now. It's still those few battalions anyway. I'll command them first. I'll make plans after I have a suitable candidate.”
……
The people of Shengyang had not fired another shot at Luo Zhen for the entire day after the previous night's heavy casualties. It was as if the battle had never happened, or they were like beasts lying in ambush, silently licking their wounds, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on them and bite them.
The night was silent.
The next morning, Zhong Yu received a call asking him to bring some men to recruit 1,200 soldiers.
This was a good thing!
The soldiers that were lost in yesterday's battle were instantly replenished, but he didn't know the quality of the soldiers.
Zhong Yu eagerly brought a company of soldiers back.。
In an empty space in Luo Town, Zhong Yu looked at the soldiers who were lined up in front of him and waiting to be lectured. Perhaps, calling them beggars was more appropriate.
His clothes were ragged and his hair was unkempt.
The only advantage was that they were all veterans.
Zhong Yu cleared his throat and said,
"Some people say that we're a bunch of bastards who have been beaten and scolded by the higher-ups every day after we've carried guns and changed our skins.”
"Some people say that our lives are cheap, that we have to hang our heads on our belts, and that we can't survive even if we don't starve to death.”
"However, what I want to say is that it was precisely because of us that the Rising Sun Empire was unable to enter. It was precisely because of us that our wives and daughters were able to avoid being bullied and humiliated by the Rising Sun Empire.”
"The commoners looked down on us. That was in the past! From today onwards, we will change this situation. In the past, protecting the country might have been just a slogan, but today was different. The people of Shengyang had come, and what we were doing now was far more than just a slogan.”
" The people of Shengyang have already announced that they will destroy Zhongxia in three months. I think the person who said those words is either dreaming or has never seen the map of Zhongxia. He thinks that Zhongxia is as big as their small island.”
"Haha…the person from the Rising Sun must still be asleep."
"Why doesn't this palm-sized country take a piss and take a look…"
Many of the soldiers in the replenishment team were amused by Zhong Yu's words. They ridiculed the Rising Sun people one after another.
Zhong Yu paused for a moment and waited for the soldiers to quieten down before continuing,
"Of course, if we soldiers didn't resist, we might be able to destroy China and China in three months. But are you willing to be the slaves of a country?”
" I've said so much just to tell you that we're standing here in our military uniforms today not only to make a living, but also to protect the ordinary people from being slaughtered by the people of Shengyang, and to protect our families and friends from being humiliated by the people of Shengyang. So, are you willing to join the Independent Brigade and fight with the people of Shengyang to the end?”
"I'm willing! I'm willing!"
The soldiers of the replenishment regiment shouted at the top of their lungs in response.
At this point, Zhong Yu finally smiled. "Then let's get to know each other again. I, Zhong Yu, am the brigade commander of Qiongya Independent Brigade. From now on, we are all brothers who eat in the same big spoon.”
Zhong Yu's speech of calling himself and the soldiers Qiu Ba made many soldiers treat him differently, and it also gave many people a sense of belonging to the independent brigade.
"Finally, let's talk about the thing that everyone is most interested in. The second-class soldiers of my independent brigade will receive ten yuan a month, the first-class soldiers will receive eleven yuan, the first-class soldiers will receive fourteen yuan, and the corporal…will not be deducted.”
After hearing Zhong Yu's words, the soldiers below immediately started discussing.
Old Chang's plan was to plant one central army and one army. The second-class soldiers were paid 7 yuan, while the first-class soldiers were paid 7.5 yuan. However, because of the serious phenomenon of deducting one military salary, the soldiers often received far less than this figure.
There weren't many new recruits among the soldiers of the Replenishment Regiment.
After being a soldier for so long, he had never heard of a troop that could produce ten yuan per month…
Seeing the soldiers 'reaction, Zhong Yu smiled. This was the effect he wanted!
"Sir, Brigade One! Are you really giving me cash?"
The change in the way the soldier addressed him made Zhong Yu smile.
"Yes, the cash will be given out after the first month of the month!”
" Alright, I'll give you new military uniforms later. Take care of yourselves. I don't want you to scare people with your uniforms. Hand over all the weapons you've brought. The Independent Brigade will give you new equipment. You'll be assigned to your companies and battalions. Someone will teach you how to use the new equipment.”
As soon as Zhong Yu finished speaking, more than 20 people from the team of more than 1,200 people stood out.
"Someone will record your information later. There will be corresponding arrangements according to your individual situation. That's all I have to say. The next step is to distribute the equipment. According to the roster, those who are called will come forward to receive the equipment.”
After dealing with the matters of the replenishment team and leaving the follow-up to the logistics department, Zhong Yu returned to his division.
"Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei, are you there? Let me ask you a question. I remember that there are heroes in the game. Why didn't I see the recruitment option in the barracks?”
Although Zhong Yu knew that he could communicate with Xiao Mei in time as long as he muttered in his heart, he still asked as if he was on the phone.
" I'm here, Commander. Actually, there are heroes in the base. They're obtained through a lottery, not from the military camp. All heroes are essentially normal humans. They're unique and not Kronians like the recruited soldiers.”
" Then why haven't I drawn any? I haven't even seen any heroes in the lottery."
"I'm a little unlucky."
“……”
Zhong Yu was speechless for a long time. So he didn't get the hero because his face was dark?
Recently, there had been a severe strike. This chapter had been changed and deleted again and again. The content was nearly half gone. He hoped that it would pass.
