Lu Chen's big move was to recruit more soldiers.
Before recruiting soldiers, Lu Chen even specially asked someone to use the group fee to buy pig's head meat and bags of white rice.
Their regiment had sufficient military pay now, so there had to be attractive conditions to recruit soldiers, right?
This was the early stages of the war, and their Battle Wolves were just starting out.
Naturally, they were not as famous as the older guilds. At this time, they had to use some 'special' methods.
Although our Battle Wolves have only been established for a short time, we still have good food and drinks in the group.
The food was first-class, and the equipment and supplies were not bad either.
The pork head and rice were the best proof.
"Clang!"
Each company went to the nearby village to recruit soldiers. They beat drums and gongs to promote their teams.
This team was different from the ones that were publicized before. There were carts of food behind the team.
Many villagers came to watch the show.
Most of the militia in Zhang Village were locals who grew up and were familiar with the people in the surrounding villages.
"Hey, what's going on? Brother Kaizi, your militia has made a fortune!”
"This cart is full of pig heads. I'm envious.”
"Yeah, I'm drooling.”
Liu Kai laughed out loud.
"If you want to eat it, join our team. As long as you join the army, you will all have meat to eat.”
"Pay attention, I'm talking about eating meat, not the kind that has a bit of meat and soup.”
Liu Kai's words immediately moved everyone below.
These days, the Eighth Route Army had actually come to recruit quite a few soldiers.
However, most of the troops were just there to make a living and seek stability.
There was no food and pay in the Eighth Route Army, and life was difficult. This had almost become a consensus.
And now, Liu Kai and the others were still able to recruit soldiers?
In this day and age, it wasn't easy to have a full meal, let alone eat meat.
"Brother Kaizi, you're not fooling us, are you? Is this meat really prepared for us?”
One of the villagers raised his concerns.
Liu Kai wasn't annoyed and explained loudly.
"This is prepared for you new recruits. There is a lot of meat for us veterans to eat in the regiment.”
"To tell you the truth, if you miss such a good opportunity, you won't be able to get it.”
"Our Militia has just received a regimental system. The new regiment commander is very capable and has obtained many good things.”
"Not to mention this little bit of meat, we don't even lack weapons and equipment.”
"Yes, we're in. From tonight onwards, we'll be brothers in the construction. You'll know if this unit is good or not after you've been there.”
"At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to chase you away.”
Liu Kai's words also shocked everyone.
"What is it? Brother Kaizi, your militia is now an 'independent regiment'. Wow, that's amazing.”
"For this new Guild Leader to be able to make you so convinced, it seems like he has some ability.”
"What else is there to say? There's meat to eat, brothers to cook, and equipment to fight the Japanese.”
"Where can I find such a team? Count me in!”
"Hahaha, let alone anything else, with your Brother Kai's guarantee, I dare to join!”
"I'm more vulgar, just to eat meat. I'll follow whoever gives me meat!”
"I'll join in as well. I'll join in the fun and meet this new Guild Leader!”
"Count me in. Protecting the country is a man's nature!”
The villagers responded to the call and joined the Battle Wolves.
Such scenes happened in every platoon.
This caused some of the surrounding local troops, district teams, and even the main force to be somewhat dissatisfied.
"Aren't you guys going too far by snatching people like this? All of them were snatched away by your Battle Wolves. Why does a new team need so many people?”
"Shouldn't we develop weapons and equipment first? Can we support so many people?”
"That's right, that's right. You have to be responsible for the soldiers.”
Faced with these doubts, Lu Chen also retorted forcefully.
"The villagers trust our Battle Wolf Regiment, so they want to join this new regiment. They are all children raised by their parents.”
"They're already here. We can't chase them away, right?”
"And what food temptation did you say? If you have the guts, why don't you seduce one too? To be able to buy so much pork was their ability!”
"As for the weapons and equipment you mentioned, it's not up to you to worry about whether they can be raised or not.”
Each unit would report the number of new recruits.
Lu Chen flipped through the recruit handbook. During this period of time, their entire regiment had a total of more than 1,100 people, including the previous 300 people.
Battle Wolves now had a total of 1500 people.
In fact, in this era, there was no shortage of men in China who joined the army.
The reason why the 8th Route Army was so small in numbers at the beginning was because they did not have enough weapons and equipment.
For example, if the supply of a regiment could only allow a few hundred people to fight, what was the point of recruiting a few thousand people?
These hundreds of people were using guns to kill the enemy, while the rest were using fire sticks to block the bullets?
Wasn't this a joke?
Moreover, with more people, there would be more mouths. With a group so talkative, the consumption for a day was not small.
Therefore, with the current production supplies and their spoils of war, a regiment could only maintain a 1,000-strong appearance. Some main force regiments even had less than 1,000 people.
As for Lu Chen, he was 'rich and magnanimous'. He did not lack resources, treasures, and food. It was not a problem to directly increase the number of people by 1,100.
Moreover, his team composition was different from the others. Even if it was a normal number of people, he would still need this many people.
