Xie Baoqing sighed softly and couldn't help but admire the commander's courage.
Only people with this kind of courage can retain so many talents.
The next day, as soon as the military pay system was posted in Heiyun Village, there was a burst of joy.
"Long live the handsome man!"
"My mother! I can get ten dollars a month!"
"I am the squad leader, I can receive twelve yuan!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
"This month's military pay is worth all my previous savings!"
"Oh! San Dezi, you can do it. You actually still have ten yuan in savings..."
"It's so damn comfortable to follow the commander to fight the Japanese! From now on, I will follow the commander to the end!"
"Long live the handsome man!"
"Although prices are soaring now, one ocean can buy fifteen or six kilograms of rice. Ten oceans can buy one hundred and fifty kilograms!"
"From now on, my whole family can eat white rice, white flour and white steamed buns every day!"
"Thank you, Commander!"
"There is also a reward policy here. It is said that the more Japanese you kill, the additional reward will be Dayang..."
"There is also a pension policy... It is said that as long as the soldiers of our ninth platoon died fighting the Japs, they will receive a one-time pension of 500 yuan. If they were crippled by the Japs, they will be compensated 300 yuan..."
"Besides, if the families of these soldiers have any difficulties in the future, they can come to the army to talk to them and try to satisfy them as much as possible..."
"It's easily worth a few hundred dollars, and the commander is so powerful!"
"With such a handsome man, if anyone doesn't fight tooth and nail, I'll give him a damn!"
"I joined the army to fight against the Japanese. I never thought about the lack of salary, but the commander-in-chief did not treat us badly. I have nothing but this life to repay the commander-in-chief!"
As soon as the military pay and pension system came out, it inevitably caused an uproar within the army.
Fang Yu could clearly feel the surging morale!
…
…
In addition, the recruitment work of artillery platoon leader Wang Chengzhu and tank squad leader Xie Dahai in surrounding villages also appeared to be smoother.
Fang Yu also set a requirement for them. Those with bad records will not be accepted, such as those who have been traitors and scoundrels, those who have the blood of compatriots on their hands, those who look like veterans or local ruffians...
Don’t recruit any of these!
Fang Yu prefers those simple, passionate young men!
As long as you train a little, you can be reused in the army!
Their thinking is pure and simple, but they know that killing the Japanese is the only right way!
A few days later, Fang Yu urgently called a halt.
Because more than 600 new soldiers have been recruited.
In addition to the existing army in Heiyun Village, the number of soldiers under Fang Yu's command has now directly exceeded a thousand...
On the basis of the first infantry company, expand two companies to form a simple version of the first infantry battalion.
The so-called missing version means that this infantry battalion only has three infantry companies and the basic personnel of the battalion headquarters, but it is not equipped with artillery platoons or machine gun platoons with such heavy firepower.
If an infantry battalion is equipped with heavy firepower such as artillery platoon and machine gun platoon, then the battalion plus the battalion headquarters will have approximately 473 people...
A simple infantry battalion without an artillery platoon and a machine gun platoon has approximately 403 people.
These are all particular.
The first infantry company was expanded into the first infantry battalion (simple version, 403 men)
The second infantry company was expanded into the second infantry battalion (simple version, 403 men)
Due to the small number of high-quality war horses, the cavalry company will not be expanded for the time being. It will still retain the original first cavalry company! (122 people, full strength).
The artillery platoon was officially expanded into an artillery company, with a strength of 122 people. It has three artillery platoons, plus a company headquarters. The company headquarters includes 1 company commander, 1 instructor, 1 deputy company commander, 1 division chief, and 1 clerk.
1 correspondent, 11 people in the cooking class!.??m
The artillery battery is equipped with three Skoda 105mm howitzers.
The machine gun platoon was expanded to a machine gun platoon on the original basis, with a staff of 122 people, including two heavy machine gun platoons and one light machine gun platoon.
A light machine gun platoon is equipped with 15 light machine guns.
A heavy machine gun platoon is equipped with 5 heavy machine guns.
Two heavy machine gun platoons are equivalent to using all ten Maxim heavy machine guns.
This expansion is equivalent to the expansion of four infantry companies, four machine gun platoons, and almost 600 people. The newly recruited recruits have basically been properly arranged.
However, it is impossible for these recruits to have any combat effectiveness in a short period of time. The recruits still need to train and continue to train!
As for weapons... it's not that big of a problem. Not to mention other things, at least everyone can have a 38-meter cap or a mid-level rifle.
Training days are always bitter.
But in order to fight against the little devil, everyone's enthusiasm was extremely high!
No tears in peacetime, less bleeding in wartime!
"Report!"
An excited voice came from the door.
"It's Dalong, come in."
Fang Yu was studying the battle map, and when he saw the one-eyed dragon coming in, he nodded immediately.
"Commander, you are moving too fast..."
"I just went out for a few days to investigate some information, and then I changed directly from company commander to battalion commander..."
The commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion, Cyclops, opened his mouth and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Working with the commander-in-chief can really be said to be a promotion every three days.
"Stop talking so much, how did you do with what you were asked to do?"
"What's going on at Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp?"
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and then asked directly.
At that moment, there was a different look in Xia Yu's eyes.
"Commander, I have completed the investigation. This Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp is considered to be a relatively large prisoner of war camp for the Japanese here."
"It is said that the prisoners there are basically captured soldiers from the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army..."
"I asked a fellow who delivered food to ask about the situation. He said that there used to be thousands of prisoners of war, but now they are tortured and killed by this little devil every day. There are still about five or six hundred prisoners of war left..."
"As for the Japs guarding these prisoners of war, there are only two teams of about a hundred people..."
"However, high walls and fortresses were built around the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp..."
"I took a quick look, and there were a lot of shooting holes on it, and they were basically equipped with machine guns, and they were also equipped with searchlights..."
"Commander, it might be a bit difficult to charge them by force. After all, they are condescending and we will suffer a lot of damage."
"If there is a sneak attack at night, they will have a lot of searchlights..."
The one-eyed dragon groaned, looking a little embarrassed.
Obviously he has already followed to investigate these.
But the current situation is indeed more complicated.
"A strong attack is not advisable."
"Then let's attack smartly..."
"They have searchlights at night and are on high alert. We will make a surprise attack during the day!"
Fang Yu smiled slightly, with a relaxed look on his face.
"I will take the Wolf Sword Special Forces to this battle."
"In addition, let the light machine gun platoon of the machine gun company follow me."
"One more thing, bring me the first company of your infantry battalion. This company is basically composed of veterans..."
"That's almost it..."
"It would be better if we could apply for artillery support..."
