Li Yunlong wasn't around, and Chen Liang and Li Yunlong were cousins, so Chen Liang's words carried weight in the Independent Regiment.
Therefore, the order was quickly passed down. Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, and other capable men were in charge of the specific implementation. It took less than half a day to complete the reorganization.
Chen Liang had replenished them with so many premium weapons at once, making Zhang Dabiao and the other officers and soldiers so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
Naturally, they would not be dissatisfied with the division of troops.
After the reorganization, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan came to the regiment headquarters to report the situation to Chen Liang.
After listening to the report, Chen Liang nodded and muttered,"Very good. You've all worked hard, but you still have to work hard.
First, they had to train the troops well and let the soldiers familiarize themselves with these new weapons as soon as possible. They also had to get used to the current formation of the troops in case of a battle that might happen at any time.”
"One more thing, each of your two battalions, send out a patrol platoon to set up sentries around the base, especially in the direction of the Japanese War Zone.
Closely monitor the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops to prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack.
In addition, send some people to the surrounding villages to spread the news. Firstly, tell the refugees that they can come back and rebuild their homes.
Secondly, put up a notice saying that our Independent Regiment is recruiting soldiers aged eighteen and under thirty-five.
Hunters and those with experience in using guns were given priority. Each person would receive a monthly salary of two oceans or 30 catties of flour, and they would also be given meat for every meal.”
"Yes, sir!" Zhang and Shen replied in unison, saluted, and left.
After arranging everything, Chen Liang opened the system and checked the growth of the 300 mu of farmland. After confirming that there were no abnormalities.
He walked out of the regiment headquarters and went to inspect the training of the various battalions.
The next morning, Shen Quan, who was mainly responsible for conscription and contacting the people, ran up to him with a troubled expression and saluted,""Captain, the refugees are not very willing to come back.
Also, the people in the surrounding villages were scared out of their wits by the devils.
Although the pay we give is very good, the villagers 'enthusiasm for joining the army is not high.”
It turned out that the current station of the independent regiment was a temporary base that had been newly established after the successful counter-encirclement.
It wasn't the old base, and this was an enemy territory.
The commoners had been bullied by the Japanese puppet army and the traitors for a long time. They did not have any feelings for the independent regiment and did not dare to show too much enthusiasm.
In a nutshell, the Independent Regiment did not have a good foundation among the people here.
Thinking of this, Chen Liang's expression turned solemn as he muttered,""It seems that if you want to gain a foothold in the Wang Fortress, you have to rely on your strength.”
"Captain, what do you mean?" Shen Quan asked in confusion.”
"How's the enemy situation in the vicinity?" Chen Liang asked.”
"This is the responsibility of the first battalion commander.”Shen Quan replied.
"Inform the battalion commander immediately and tell him to come to the regimental headquarters for a meeting. Tell him that there's an urgent military mission!”
"Yes, sir!" Shen Quan saluted and left.
Not long after, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, and a few other battalion level officers arrived at the regiment headquarters.
Chen Liang immediately went straight to the point." There's no time to lose. I'll beat around the bush. I've summoned you all here to fight a war!
The people around here are afraid of the Japanese and the Second Japanese, so they don't recognize us.
If we want to gain a firm foothold in this area, we have to recruit troops and develop.
We still have to fight a beautiful battle to show the villagers and let them build their confidence in us.
If you dare to support us, we'll fight the devils together.
Right now, our target hasn't been exposed yet. We're in the dark while the enemy is in the light. We can still catch the enemy off guard.
Therefore, I've decided to pick the strongest Japanese near the Wang Fortress and kill them!”
He paused." Battalion Commander One, please introduce the enemy.”
Zhang Dabiao immediately pointed at the map on the table in front of him and said,"Captain, the strongest enemy closest to us is the Tiger Pavilion outpost.
There were more than 300 ghosts stationed here, and there were also strong fortifications such as blockhouses and turrets.
If we can take down the Huting Stronghold and eliminate the enemies here, it will definitely boost the prestige of our independent regiment.
However, we only have less than 800 people now. We still have to consider the problem of reinforcements.
The troops that could be sent to attack did not have much of an advantage over the devils in Huting Stronghold!
I suggest that we pick a slightly weaker stronghold to attack!”
" No," Chen Liang flatly refused." We're in the dark now. There's only one chance for us to surprise the enemy."
Therefore, if we want to fight, we'll fight the strongest."
"I've decided to attack the Tiger Pavilion Stronghold!”
" But regiment commander…" Zhang Dabiao was still worried, but Chen Liang raised his hand and interrupted him."There's no buts. It's a good time to test the power of the new equipment in our hands!”
"Pass on my order. The entire group will gather immediately and prepare to attack the Tiger Pavilion Stronghold!”
As a transmigrator, Chen Liang naturally knew how powerful the American equipment he had replenished for the independent regiment was, let alone a mere Tiger Pavilion outpost.
Even if it was a county, it would not be a problem. However, the independent regiment's military strength was still relatively small. Even if they attacked, they might not be able to defend it.
Therefore, one had to eat one mouthful at a time, and fight one battle at a time.
First, they would take down the Huting Stronghold to establish their prestige, consolidate and strengthen the independent regiment's current base, expand their troops, and at the same time, obtain sufficient prestige.
Then, he would exchange for more powerful equipment to increase the overall combat strength of the army.
With enough powerful troops, they could farm and store food in peace, develop industries and military industries, and form a virtuous cycle.
With such an awesome system, Chen Liang was confident that it wouldn't be long before the Independent Regiment could conquer Taiyuan.
