After entering the house, Chen Liang asked Zhao Gang to sit down while instructing Zhang Dabiao to pour some water.
Zhao Gang was very happy with Chen Liang's enthusiastic attitude. He felt that this was a very good partner.
Unknowingly, he had a good impression of Chen Liang.
When Zhang Dabiao brought the tea, Chen Liang went straight to the point and said,""Political Commissar Zhao, to be honest, our Independent Regiment only has less than 800 people now.
They urgently needed to recruit a batch of new soldiers to replenish their forces.
Previously, the people here were afraid of being bullied by the enemy. In addition, they didn't know much about us, so they didn't dare to help us.
"That's why I led the troops to take down the Huting Stronghold. Firstly, to establish our prestige. Secondly, to increase our independent regiment's influence in this area.
Now that the Huting Stronghold had been taken down, let's not talk about anything else.
The Japanese definitely won't let it go. Once they find out that it was our independent regiment who did it.
They will definitely come for revenge, so our top priority is to mobilize the masses as soon as possible and join the army.
Other than that, we also need a large number of laborers to help us farm.
We have high-yield, cold-resistant, short-maturing grain seeds that can be sown throughout the year.
Now, as long as they had enough manpower, they could expand the scale of farming.
"It won't be long before we can achieve self-reliance and completely establish ourselves in this area.”
Zhao Gang nodded repeatedly. Seeing Chen Liang stop, he asked,"Then what does Commander Chen need me to do? Just tell me."
Chen Liang did not stand on ceremony." Political Commissar Zhao, you are a political worker. Mobilizing the people and recruiting soldiers to farm are definitely better than mine.
So, I think we should split up. You go mobilize the masses, recruit new soldiers, and then farm.
I'll train the new recruits and protect the safety of the base!”
"Alright, I promise to complete the mission." Zhao Gang gladly agreed.
After that, Chen Liang arranged a place for Zhao Gang to stay.
Then, he brought him to familiarize himself with the establishment of the independent regiment's various battalions and companies, as well as the storage of supplies.
That afternoon, Zhao Gang transferred a group of capable veterans from the 1st and 2nd Battalions.
He brought them to the surrounding villages to mobilize the people and recruit new soldiers.
Chen Liang stayed in the regiment headquarters and continued to train the troops.
In the past, when Li Yun Long was around, Chen Liang couldn't be too eye-catching.
Many of the more scientific training methods from the 21st century were not brought out by him.
Now that Li Yunlong was not around, he had established his prestige with the battle at Tiger Pavilion.
Therefore, he took out all the advanced training knowledge he knew and used it on the soldiers of the Independent Regiment.
Soon, another three days passed.
Chen Liang was at the training ground at the village entrance, instructing the soldiers.
A soldier in charge of guarding ran over and saluted him.""Regiment Commander, Political Commissar Zhao and the others have returned.”
"Where?" Chen Liang asked.
"The political commissar has arrived at the regimental headquarters. Please hurry over.”the warrior replied.
"I understand." Chen Liang immediately handed over the training to Zhang Dabiao and rushed to the regiment headquarters with a guard.
Back at the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang was drinking water.
When he saw Chen Liang return, he hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and said,""Guild Leader, I'm back."
"You've worked hard, Political Commissar Zhao. How was it?" Chen Liang smiled. Have you gained anything in the past few days?"
"Yes!" " Thanks to your great victory in the Tiger Pavilion Stronghold, the people of the surrounding villages are very enthusiastic about us." Zhao Gang said with a happy expression.
In addition, the pay we give is high, and the masses are very cooperative with our recruitment. Almost every family sends their children to join the army.
In three days, I brought back a total of over 1,200 recruits.
In addition, I didn't forget about mobilizing the masses to open up wasteland.
When the commoners heard that we could provide high-yield seeds, they were also very enthusiastic.
As long as we are willing, these ten villages and nearly ten thousand people can be mobilized at any time to open up wasteland and farm with our independent regiment.”
"That's great!" Chen Liang was overjoyed." With this batch of new recruits, our Independent Regiment will be able to expand by 2,000 people. It will be the size of a B-grade Reorganized Regiment."
There was also the matter of farming. So many people were willing to help.
We can at least expand the cultivated area by 3,000 mu!”
Before he could finish his sentence, the system's voice sounded in Chen Liang's mind again.
<
"F * ck, this reward came at the right time. I can give the entire team advanced American equipment.”
Chen Liang was overjoyed and almost cried out.
Zhao Gang nodded and said," That's right. When I came back just now, I also took a look at the fields outside the village. The wheat, sweet potatoes, and potatoes you planted are growing very well."
I heard from the soldiers that you have only been farming for less than half a month. It seems that you will be able to harvest it soon.
This growth speed was indeed very fast! Especially since it was still winter, it was simply too good.”
Chen Liang said," Commissar Zhao, there's no time to lose. Let's first replenish the new recruits and reorganize the entire regiment. Then, we'll start training as soon as possible."
The expansion of the farming area must also be carried out as soon as possible.
Now that the army had more soldiers and more food, they had to expand the area under cultivation. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to last long just by relying on the food they had seized.
"Moreover, it's almost winter. We have more grain in our hands. When the time comes, we can help the surrounding people through winter.”
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements now." Zhao Gang nodded and left.
Chen Liang opened the system's exchange store. He now had 140,000 reputation points. Other than exchanging for weapons, he also planned to exchange for a batch of fertilizer.
It was used to shorten the growth period of the first batch of 300 acres of land in the Wang Fortress, so that they could harvest food as soon as possible to replenish the little military rations left by the Independent Regiment.
