"Marshal, the sky is still dark. Many commoners don't know about our recruitment.”
"I've already sent out dozens of recruitment teams to all parts of Fengtian Province.”
"So far, only 10,000 people have been recruited.”
Yan Lie pulled a long face and reported.
It had only been six hours since last night.
In such a short period of time, it was already not easy for the Reserve Headquarters to recruit 10,000 people.
"Not enough, far from enough."
Zhang Jing 'an shook his head and said meaningfully,""We need at least 150,000 people."
Just the troops deployed at Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan alone would require at least 200,000 troops equipped with large-caliber artillery.
This was the only way to intimidate Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yan Xishan, and Brother Baldy.
There were at least six infantry divisions deployed in Hei and Ji provinces, and they were also equipped with large-caliber artillery.
Four infantry divisions and two heavy artillery regiments sealed off the Changbai Mountains and Tumen River, completely preventing the Japanese from advancing from the North into the Black and Kirghiz provinces.
Two infantry divisions would clear out the entire Black Province, while the remaining two would clear out the entire Ji Province.
In order to deal with the Kwantung Army, Zhang Jingan concentrated the advantages of the American, German, and Soviet divisions in World War II.
A new establishment was formulated based on the national conditions of the Four Eastern Provinces.
An infantry division had three infantry regiments, artillery battalions, engineering battalions, medical battalions, air defense battalions, communication companies, reconnaissance companies, and logistics battalions.
It was equipped with 24 105mm howitzers, 36 75mm field artillery, and 64 anti-tank cannons.
143 mortars, 24 anti-aircraft machine guns, 12 anti-aircraft guns, and 368 light and heavy machine guns.
There were 564 Thompson submachine guns, 11568 Garand semi-automatic rifles, and 2482 pistols.
The entire division had a total of 15000 people.
Thanks to the construction of roads and railroads during Zhang Yuting's time, concrete roads were available in all cities in Fengtian.
In addition, the Fengtian Munitions Factory also produced transport vehicles, so each division could be equipped with more than 600 military trucks, responsible for pulling artillery and military supplies.
Apart from the troops deployed in the other two provinces and Jinzhou, Fengtian needed to retain more than five standing combat divisions.
There was only one landing point for the East Japanese, Lushun and Dalian, which were occupied by the Kwantung Army.
Therefore, the entire Four Eastern Provinces needed at least 500,000 soldiers.
"Hiss!"
Hearing this.
Everyone gasped.
150,000. That was not 150,000 pigs, but 150,000 soldiers.
According to Zhang Jing 'an's request, these people definitely couldn't be new recruits who didn't know anything.
Good fellow!
150,000 young men who had at least shot a gun, where could they find them!
It was not that the Four Eastern Provinces were so big that they could not even gather 150,000 qualified reserve players.
However, time was too tight.
The 3rd division of the East Japan Empire's Kwantung Army was already moving towards Liaoyang.
At most, this powerful Japanese army would reach Liaoyang City in a day.
At that time, the flames of war would reignite, and all the passages leading to Liaoyang would be cut off.
Even if there were soldiers, it was impossible to replenish them in time.
Therefore, Yan Lie and Wu Hongquan only had one day to recruit soldiers.
Perhaps, not even 24 hours.
"Alright, don't look so sad. How about this? I'll give you an idea.”
Looking at the two of them, Zhang Jing 'an said calmly,""There are hundreds of thousands of scattered soldiers outside the pass.”
"These people have no target. The only place they can think of is Shanhaiguan.”
"If we stop them outside the pass, then…"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Yan Lie and Wu Hongquan's eyes lit up.
Yes, Fengtian didn't have any reserve soldiers that could be used directly, but it didn't mean that there weren't any elsewhere.
No matter what, the Feng army was still a regular army in the entire Dragon Country.
Even the national team might not be able to beat them.
In reality.
The soldiers of the Feng Department Army did not lack battle experience, nor did they lack courage.
The only thing missing was a qualified leader.
What kind of third-rate combat power could a pack of wolves be led by a pack of sheep?
If it weren't for Zhang Xiaoliu, how could these soldiers have collapsed without a fight?
"Marshal, I want an army from you.”
In an instant.
The reserve-duty commander Yan Lie asked directly.
"Oh? Which unit do you want?"
Zhang Jing 'an raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't surprised.
" The Guard Division's cavalry unit."
"Yes!"
As soon as Yan Lie opened his mouth, Zhang Jingan immediately understood.
Currently, the most mobile troops in Fengtian were the armored battalions under the Guard Division, followed by the cavalry battalions.
The armored battalion was an extremely powerful military service, so it was naturally not easy to mobilize it.
However, the cavalry unit was different. It was a military unit that had fallen to the bottom ever since the machine gun appeared.
Except for Asia and backward countries, all advanced and developed countries would not retain such military services.
For the current Fengtian, the cavalry unit was dispensable. Naturally, they would not be reluctant to send it to the reserves to recruit.
"Marshal, we will go down first and send people to Black Mountain and North Town to recruit soldiers.”
Without any unnecessary actions, Yan Lie directly asked Wu Hongquan to leave.
Time waited for no man. They did not have any extra time to dawdle here.
"Good!"
Zhang Jing 'an didn't ask them to stay and nodded in agreement.
Black Mountain and North Town were the only places that one had to pass through to reach Liaoxi Corridor.
Whether it was the defeated soldiers outside the pass or the defeated soldiers inside the pass, they had to pass through here to enter and exit.
As long as he set up a blockade in Black Mountain and North Town, the reserve soldiers of Fengtian would naturally have a source.
With the mobility of the cavalry unit, it wouldn't take long for them to reach Black Mountain and North Town.
At that time, the recruitment process could begin immediately.
Moreover, Black Mountain and North Town were located in the northwest of Fengtian. Even if the Japanese marched into Liaoyang, it would not affect the recruitment work.
