After Yang Chen revealed this move, everyone became well-behaved.
After Yang Chen and Mr. Qiu discussed the 4,000-plus new members, they set eight, nine, ten…fifteen.
There were a total of eleven battalions, and each battalion had five hundred people.
Therefore, the number of people in the independent regiment had suddenly tripled.
From the original three battalions, it had increased to eleven battalions.
There were nearly six thousand people in the entire group, which was several times more than the usual group size.
Old Qiu asked Chen Yang," Why are there five, six, and seven battalions in the middle?”
Yang Chen smiled and replied," First, we'll get the architecture right. Then, we'll have it all.”
"Haha, there are some people you have to admit defeat to!”
Old Qiu was very satisfied with the result.
The team was not on the right track yet, so Old Qiu only listened and watched, occasionally giving suggestions.
He was a qualified assistant and gave Yang Chen absolute authority.
Now, he could explain to his superiors.
At that time, when Yang Chen was proposed to be the leader, many people objected.
He said that he would hand the team over to someone who had not undergone strict inspection and testing.
This was a risk.
It was very likely that he would suffer a double loss.
At that time, the team would not have grown.
Instead, they had sacrificed more than a thousand people.
In response, Old Qiu's attitude at that time was:
Take a gamble!
Success. The Independent Regiment entered a new stage of development.
If he failed, he would just treat it as a defeat and start all over again.
He was gambling.
Fortunately, he won the bet.
Looking at this huge team, he asked Yang Chen,
"Old Chen, what do you plan to do with those experts you picked out?”
He had guessed some possibilities, but he wasn't sure.
After all, that was not his strong suit.
Yang Chen replied," Doesn't the Japanese have special forces?”
"Then I'll train a special force to compete with him.”
"To deal with such a small force, regular troops are not suitable, nor are they a match.”
The special forces of the Japanese were just the prototype of the special forces in the future.
Yang Chen, on the other hand, was an outstanding special forces soldier more than half a century later.
He had won many awards in the military tournament.
Moreover, he had also won many honors in the competitions of the foreign armies.
In terms of training philosophy and actual combat experience, he was more comprehensive and outstanding than the Japanese.
Most importantly, he had modern weapons.
When the time came, it would be too easy to use airdrops to fight behind enemy lines.
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough points and couldn't waste them. He would wait until the time was right.
"Good!"
Yang Chen wanted to build a special forces team, and Old Qiu was fully supportive of it.
Although he did not understand the difference between the special forces and the special forces, he felt that it was the same thing. It was a good thing!
"It would be great if we also have a special forces team!”
Mr. Qiu was looking forward to it." Last time, I almost died in the hands of the Japanese special forces. Now that I think about it, I'm still a little scared.”
"That combat power is too strong.”
……
A few days later, the work at Centipede Ridge slowly got back on track.
The squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders were all selected from the original backbone of the Independent Regiment.
In this way, the entire team was in the hands of the independent regiment.
Yang Chen's special forces training officially began.
Xiao Ya and Yang Dali were naturally among them.
Yang Chen didn't hold anything back from these two people who had followed him since the beginning. He even gave them special treatment occasionally.
That night, Mr. Qiu and Yang Chen discussed work.
"Old Chen, the expenses of the team are very high.”
"You see, our daily rations are six taels per person. The combat troops and training personnel are doubled.”
"These six thousand people consume at least four thousand catties of food every day, which is a hundred and twenty thousand catties a month.”
"There are still six months before this year's harvest.”
"In total, we will need to consume 700,000 to 800,000 catties of food.”
"This is not even counting the bandits 'families.”
"Big Nose Niu does have a lot of grain, but he lacks at least 500,000 catties.”
Old Qiu was troubled." You really don't know how to take charge of the household. You don't know how expensive the daily necessities are. We're in a critical period right now. Where are we going to gather so much food?"”
If he didn't mention it, Yang Chen would have forgotten about it.
Recently, in order to let the new recruits who had turned over a new leaf relive their hard days,
Yang Chen deliberately let them enjoy the 'reminiscence of bitterness and sweetness' meal, so he didn't notice what Mr. Qiu said.
Now that Old Qiu mentioned it, he didn't hide it anymore.
"Old Qiu, you don't have to worry about food, weapons, ammunition, and medicine.”
He called out to Old Qiu." Let's go. I'll bring you to see something good."”
……
It was a spacious cave.
The area was at least three football fields.
It was filled with a dazzling array of weapons and ammunition.
They were all box cannons, Mauser rifles, sniper rifles, various types of light and heavy machine guns, and submachine guns.
There were also grenade launchers, flat-fire cannons, mortars, field artillery, Type 38 75mm field artillery, 150 howitzers…
There were too many of them, and Old Qiu couldn't even see them.
He opened a box and saw yellow bullets.
He reached out and touched it, just like how modern people touched gold bars.
" Alright," Yang Chen laughed at him." If the soldiers see this, they'll laugh at you for not seeing the world.”
Old Qiu couldn't bear to look away from his weapon.
"I've never seen the world."
"I'm afraid that even if we add up all the heavy weapons in our entire division, we won't have as many as you!”
"If the teachers knew, they would probably rob us!”
Mr. Qiu finally looked at Yang Chen." A cow with a big nose?”
"Yes."
Yang Chen nodded.
Of course, he was the one who exchanged for these items.
Most of the weapons the bandits used were box cannons and some were mid-level cannons.
There were no cannons.
"Old Qiu, let's go. There's still some good stuff here.”
In another cave, there were piles of rice and noodles, vegetables that could be used for winter, chicken, duck, fish, and so on!
"Sigh…"
Mr. Qiu sighed." When we were crossing the snowy mountains and grasslands, we were so hungry that we even cooked our belts.
If we had this food, we wouldn't have to sacrifice so many people…"
After he finished sighing, Yang Chen instructed,
"The weather is getting warmer. After spring, arrange for people to farm in the mountains, raise fish, pigs, and chickens.”
"I'll provide seeds, fry, and so on.”
"This way, the people will have hope.”
The two of them hit it off.
This way, he could more or less replenish some food.
The days seemed to be getting better and better.
……
Xu Cheng.
Zhou Weiguo and Xu Hu looked at the city gate, feeling depressed.
Because the Japanese were setting up checkpoints to check the passing people.
"Regiment Commander, didn't you say that the main force was going to fight here? Why are they all Japanese?"
They caught a fellow villager who was out of the city and asked.
They said that the Japanese had already occupied Xu Cheng two days ago.
The main force of the national army had long disappeared.
Disappointed…
He had chased them all the way here and thought that he could return to the team.
He didn't expect this result.
"What should we do, Guild Leader?"
"Let's go into the city first and get some food.”
They were suddenly confused.
He didn't know where to go…
