In front of the soul of the nation, the Japanese were just a bunch of buzzing flies that could be swatted to death at any time!
The voices of people requesting to join the army rang in Lan Yang's ears. Lan Yang could feel the power of the country!
After a long time, Lan Yang waved his hand to suppress everyone's voices and said loudly,"Everyone, please register in an orderly manner. The army has recruitment standards and conditions.
Please line up first. We will arrange a recruitment office for you to register!”
Jiang Siwei, who was following behind Lan Yang, immediately began to arrange the registration and screening of the staff.
The Thunder Leopard Brigade had just begun to expand, so they naturally needed to recruit a large number of soldiers. However, Lan Yang and Jiang Siwei did not expect the commoners to have such a strong desire to join the army.
With so many people, the framework of the Thunder Leopard Brigade would probably be completed in a few days.
However, they were still using the 336th Regiment's structure. Other than the name of Lan Yang, the others had not changed.
Not long after, the recruitment office was completed, and there were more than ten brigade secretaries to register.
" Thinking, after the registration of the new recruits is completed, we will start to form a new army. As for the training, we can only wait until we finish off the Eighth Brigade.”
Lan Yang thought for a moment and continued,"We can also let them experience the environment of war, but they can only do logistics work!”
Jiang Siwei nodded.
In the southern suburbs of Anhua County, a continuous formation had been completed.
The terrain here was flat, and a large number of trenches had been dug out. The sand dug out was put into sacks to build a defensive line. In just two days, the defensive line was completed.
They even used thick cement to protect the heavy machine gun positions.
After all, there were more than eight Japanese soldiers in the 8th Brigade. The strength of the Thunder Leopard Brigade was still the same as the previous 336th Brigade. Lan Yang was not confident that he could take down the 8th Brigade in one go. He could only set up a defensive position to stop the 8th Brigade.
The Thunder Leopard Brigade did not have the strength to fight the 8th Brigade head-on.
However, Lan Yang had already formulated a series of battle plans for the 8th Brigade. The first phase was to hold the fort!
In the sky above Anhua County, the Japanese reconnaissance planes had already circled twice. In order to hide their empty positions, Lan Yang did not give the order to attack.
On the evening of the day the defensive position was completed, the Third Brigade first rushed to the General Temple and stayed for a while to dispose of all the Japanese corpses.
Lan Yang also rushed to the defensive position to inspect. He saw that a large number of puppet troops were still reinforcing the position and checking for gaps.
These puppet soldiers were the ones who had surrendered to the Anhua County Garrison Brigade. Out of the 2,000 puppet soldiers, 1,500 surrendered in the end.
Xie Fangyun didn't choose to recruit these puppet troops, but sent them here to dig trenches.
Therefore, most of the credit for the completion of the defensive position in the southern suburbs belonged to them.
"Traveler, we've already reinforced the dugout with cement and bricks. Although it can't stop the heavy artillery, the bombardment of grenade launchers and mortars won't affect it too much.”
Xie Fangyun walked up to Lan Yang and explained the situation of the trenches and defense line to him.
Lan Yang was very satisfied with the defensive position built by the puppet army.
The puppet troops were generally not strong in combat, but they did a good job in some chores, such as building positions and digging trenches.
When Lan Yang walked to the second defense line, he saw many artillery pits that had been dug out. Each artillery pit could accommodate an 80mm mortar and four soldiers. The four soldiers were responsible for commanding, aiming, feeding, and dropping.
This kind of artillery pit was very practical. Not only could it quickly lock and attack the Japanese in front of the camp, but it could also avoid the Japanese rifles and machine guns.
When Lan Yang walked to the rear of the defense line, he found that there was a semi-buried artillery position. Only the muzzle was above the ground, and there was a layer of camouflage net covering it, which could effectively avoid the detection of the Japanese reconnaissance planes.
However, they could only use some small-caliber support artillery to destroy the Japanese's artillery fire and provide fire support for the camp.
After a careful inspection, Lan Yang left the defensive position in satisfaction.
"In these two days, if it weren't for the help of the puppet captives and the citizens, we wouldn't have been able to build such a huge formation in such a short time.”Xie Fangyun sighed.
"Didn't you give the commoners money?" Lan Yang frowned.
"The commoners did not want our money at all. No matter how hard we tried to persuade them, they could not. In the end, I sent some canned food to the commoners. After all, there was a shortage of food now.”
Xie Fangyun paused for a moment before continuing,""Traveler, we also need to deal with the Chamber of Commerce in Anhua County.”
"What happened?" Lan Yang asked.
"In the Chamber of Commerce in Anhua County, there are a few big businessmen who have joined the Japanese. Not only do they prey on the people, but they also hoard supplies and buy them at a high price and sell them at a low price. However, there are also some patriots in the Chamber of Commerce, so I haven't dealt with these businessmen yet.”
Hearing this, Lan Yang thought for a moment and said,"Those who have committed heinous crimes will be directly executed. Those who have not committed serious crimes will not be punished. During the war, the prosperity of the county still needs them to maintain.”
Xie Fangyun nodded, indicating that he understood.
