At the Tiger Camp stronghold, after a round of artillery bombardment, a new group of soldiers rushed in and wiped out the Japanese without much resistance.
The battle at Wanshan Town was even simpler. With a round of artillery fire, the puppet army killed the remaining Japanese and opened the gate to surrender.
Therefore, when Lu Yan returned to Xujia 'ao, he saw the soldiers happily discussing the battle.
The captives were getting more and more excited.
On the way back, Lu Yan had already promised that those who did not want to stay would be paid to leave.
Moreover, many of these prisoners of war had been captured by the Central Army in the countryside. Therefore, many people wanted to go home as soon as possible.
But now, hearing the soldiers talk about the exciting battle process and looking at the excellent weapons and equipment on their bodies, they were all a little tempted.
During World War II, the German army had combat uniforms, and some of the Central Army troops also had them. Therefore, when Lu Yan took out a large number of combat uniforms, the soldiers were surprised, but they were not particularly curious.
Monk Wei hadn't expressed his opinion before because he was worried that the Eighth Route Army's equipment was too backward.
Although Lu Yan and the other members of the team were wearing good equipment, Monk Wei did not think much of it.
However, when he came to Xujia 'ao and saw that only the elite troops of the Central Army had a small number of combat uniforms, but here, everyone had one set. Monk Wei was stunned.
Lu Yan smiled when he saw this.
If they wanted to become a powerful army, they needed to expand.
As long as there were weapons, ammunition, and sufficient rations, even if the new regiment had tens of thousands of people, the brigade commander would still be very happy.
During the Eighth Route Army Headquarters meeting, Vice President Peng had said that as long as Lu Yan had the ability, he could expand without limit.
To Lu Yan, every random reward could arm an army, so his biggest problem was the source of troops.
There were few people in the ravines, so the number of soldiers they could recruit was limited.
Therefore, Lu Yan's target was the Japanese's prisoner of war camp. Most of the soldiers in the prisoner of war camp had been on the battlefield and had undergone basic military training. They could quickly become combat effectiveness.
Because Shanxi was a major coal producing province, there were many prisoner of war camps nearby.
By destroying the prisoner of war camp, not only could they obtain a source of soldiers, but they could also disrupt the Japanese's plunder of resources. It was killing two birds with one stone.
This attack on the prisoner of war camp could be considered Lu Yan's first attempt, and the results were very good.
Lu Yan gave the order, and the captives lined up on the empty ground.
A new group of warriors carried over two boxes of silver coins and a table beside them.
Lu Yan stood in front of the captives and shouted,"As I said before, the new group welcomes all those who are sincere in fighting the Japanese. If anyone wants to go home, we will give you money to leave.”
Someone pointed at the uniform of the new group of soldiers and said,""Sir, if we stay, will we have such military uniforms?”
"Of course, as long as you join, not only will you have such a military uniform, but you will also have all kinds of standard weapons and equipment.”Lu Yan said.
"Sir, how's the food for the new group?" asked a sturdy prisoner of war.”
Before Lu Yan could reply, a loud voice sounded from afar,""Don't worry, there will be meat and rice for every meal.”
Li Yunlong quickly walked to Lu Yan's side and faced the prisoner of war. He said,""I'm Li Yun Long, the new regiment commander. As long as you can endure the training, you can eat any meat or fruit you want.”
"Sir, I know that you defeated the Sakata United Army.”A captive shouted.
Li Yunlong laughed." That's not a problem. We'll kill the Emperor of Japan in the future."”
For a moment, the prisoners of war were in high spirits. They all shouted and requested to join the new group.
Li Yun Long was very satisfied with this.
Monk Wei, who had been observing the situation, suddenly walked out and pointed at the equipment on the special forces team."Sir, can I get their equipment?”
Monk Wei knew that these people knew martial arts and were not weak. The equipment on their bodies was obviously better than the other warriors.
A dozen of them could easily take down a Japanese squadron. This was the first time Monk Wei had ever seen such combat strength.
Therefore, Monk Wei's initial target was these people. He wanted to become the strongest warrior.
Lu Yan smiled." This is the new special squad. Not only do they have the best equipment, but they also have better treatment. However, their combat strength is also the strongest. There are only two spots left. As long as you can pass the test, you can join.”
Monk Wei's eyes lit up." Sir," he said," I request to participate in the test."”
Lu Yan grinned and shouted,"Mountain Leopard!"
A two-meter-tall man stepped out from the special forces team and said to Lu Yan,"Yes!"
Lu Yan pointed at Shan Bao and said," This is Shan Bao, a heavy machine gunner of our squad. He is skilled in martial arts. In a battle with the Japanese, he killed five of them with five punches. He easily lifted a 600-pound iron block above his head. He is best at fighting and is currently ranked fourth in the squad.”
Lu Yan paused for a moment before continuing,"The test is to fight a leopard and endure ten moves.”
After listening to Lu Yan's introduction, most of the prisoners who were eager to take action were discouraged.
Just looking at the mountain leopard's tall body was enough to scare people.
What Lu Yan said was the truth. Shan Bao was an expert. He was originally assigned by Vice President Peng to be Lu Yan's guard, but Lu Yan wanted him to display his talent to a greater extent.
After training with the Soldier King Training Card, the strength of the mountain leopard had been greatly improved. The strength of one punch could reach 980 kilograms.
Even a bull could be killed with a single punch.
Mountain Leopard walked to an empty space at the side and grinned.""Who will do it?"
Monk Wei strode forward and shouted,""Me!"
Then, Monk Wei kicked the leopard in the chest. Monk Wei had used all his strength in this kick, but the leopard did not dodge and directly met it.
If it was an ordinary person, he would have to lie in bed for at least half a month.
However, the leopard only swayed for a moment before it quickly threw a punch at Monk Wei.
Monk Wei only had time to block with his arms, but he was knocked back ten steps by this punch.
Feeling the pain in his arm, Monk Wei asked seriously,""How much strength did you use?"
Monk Wei clearly felt that the other party had not used his full strength, but he did not expect to be beaten so badly.
"You are an expert, so I used 60% of my strength.”
Hearing Shan Bao's words, Monk Wei charged at Shan Bao again.
Although the leopard's strength and speed were top-notch, it was impossible for it to defeat Monk Wei in ten moves with only 60% of its strength.
After Monk Wei passed the test, Mountain Leopard immediately stopped and said to Monk Wei,""You're very strong. If it was me before training, I wouldn't be able to beat you.”
Lu Yan wasn't surprised. He looked at Monk Wei and said,""Congratulations on passing. Report to the regiment headquarters tomorrow. I will bring you to start your special training.”
When Monk Wei heard this, he ignored the pain and saluted,""Thank you, sir."
The other warriors of the new group looked at Monk Wei with envy.
Everyone in the New Regiment One knew how insane Lu Yan's Special Forces were.
Seeing that Monk Wei had succeeded in his challenge, the other captives also gained confidence and began to challenge him. However, they were all defeated by the mountain leopard in a few moves.
In the end, only Monk Wei successfully passed the test.
