Otherwise, the merit points needed to kill a devil soldier are often not enough to spend on him.
That is to say, only by killing some devil officers can we get back the capital, or make a net profit.
Yang Chen made a simple estimate, with the previous fighting method, the only way to maintain the strength of the Huben Regiment was 8000 to 10000.
No matter how many, meritorious service points will not be able to make ends meet.
Of course, Yang Chen would not reduce the equipment supply of the Huben Regiment because of this. He would rather waste more merit points than increase the casualties of the Huben Regiment in order to save ammunition.
Because in his opinion, the meritorious service is gone, and he can earn it again.
But the lives of the brothers are priceless.
Therefore, after the Battle of Gushi ended, he hurriedly put the plan of building an arsenal on the agenda.
With an arsenal, you can continuously produce the equipment you need, as well as ammunition supplies.
It can also greatly reduce the waste of merit points.
Of course, the reason why Yang Chen built the arsenal was not only to develop and strengthen the anti-Japanese armed forces, but the merit points were not enough, there was another more important purpose.
That is to pave the way for him to use various advanced weapons in the future.
With the arsenal, what kind of advanced weapons will the Huben Regiment use in the future?Yang Chen no longer has to hide his secrets like before, afraid of revealing his secrets.
……
Wang Gui, Xu Hailang, Liao Yong, and Liu Zheping had long regarded Yang Chen as a god, so they never had any opinion on his decision.
With a decision made, the Huben regiment rested for another day at the temporary station in the small mountain village, and then began to retreat southward.
On the contrary, the independent regiment of the New Fourth Army decided to stay in the mountainous area at the junction of Gushi and Jinzhai counties.
They absorbed a large number of people who had been transferred from Gushi City before, and established a new anti-Japanese base on the spot.
Of course, this is something for later.
Without the people following, the Huben regiment moved very fast.
It took only two days to bring them through Jinzhai County and into Huoshan County.
Of course, a large part of the reason is because the little devil's focus is on Huangchuan and Faith.
Without the impediment of the little devil, the marching speed of the crowd naturally soared.
…………
Chapter 8 Unfavorable start (third update!)
Huoshan County is located in the western part of Anhui Province, in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains.
So the Huben regiment came all the way, and there were dense forests everywhere.
At this time, it is summer, and everything is flourishing, and the place here tends to be more primitive.
Yang Chen and the others led the troops and searched for a long time before finally finding a village in a mountain depression.
"Xu Hailang, immediately take someone to the village in front to explore the way. If possible, we will camp here tonight!" Yang Chen walked in front of the team, called Xu Hailang, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and gave him instructions road.
"Yes!" Xu Hailang saluted, readily agreed, and immediately led the reconnaissance battalion to the front for reconnaissance.
After going there for about half an hour, Yang Chen saw Xu Hailang hurried back with a few soldiers, and asked, "Why have you been here for so long?"
Xu Hailang replied: "Tuan Zuo, the people in the village said that we can enter the village, but we must help them suppress the bandits, otherwise, we will not be allowed to enter the village!"
"Who is so bold to treat my anti-Japanese hero army, the Huben Regiment, like this?" Li Jiufu, who was standing behind Yang Chen, was furious when he heard this.
"It's the head of a Miao ethnic group!" Xu Hailang said: "I also grew up in a village of ethnic minorities when I was a child. This kind of village is not only tough, but also very united.
And the village in front is also inhabited by ethnic minorities. From their performance, we can see that if we don't help them suppress the bandits, they might not let us go to the village to rest.
They may even be hostile to us! "
Yang Chen thought for a while, then said with relief: "This place is remote, isolated from the world, and the information is also very backward.
Especially ethnic minorities, do not like contact with the outside world, and will be very wary of outsiders.
They may not have heard of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and they may not even be able to tell the difference between the devils, the national army, and the New Fourth Army, so how would they know who we are! "
Xu Hailang lowered his head and responded, "What's wrong? At first, I thought that with my name as Huben Group, as long as I showed my identity, the other party would definitely treat me with good wine and meat.
However, the result is that after I revealed my identity, people didn't care about our Huben group at all.
In the end, relying on my identity as a mountain minority, I finally won their trust by talking about it.
Otherwise, my brothers and I would have been shot into hedgehogs with bows and arrows by these tough villagers! "
Yang Chen frowned. Minorities are like this, and their folk customs are simple. Before they get the approval of the other party, out of self-protection, they will be very wary of you, and even treat you as an invading enemy.
And if you get the approval of the other party, he will definitely treat you as his own family, and there won't be too many twists and turns.
After pondering for a while, Yang Chen asked again: "Did they say where the bandits are? Do you have any specific information?"
"They said that the bandits are on Chuanhe Ridge, 30 miles to the west, and they are a bandit with more than 100 people! They often go down the mountain to harm villages and towns in the northwest of Huoshan County!"
When Xu Hailang said this, he quickly added: "By the way, I also inquired about the news that the village in front of us is called Manzhuang.
These bandits do a lot of evil on weekdays. The patriarch just said that if we soldiers are willing, we will eliminate the bandits in Chuanheling for them.
They will welcome us and treat us like best friends! "
Yang Chen pondered for a moment, turned his head to look up at Wang Gui, Liao Yong and Liu Zheping, and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Jiufu grinned and said: "Tuan Zuo, there are more than 100 bandits in the district, why hesitate, give me a company, and I will destroy them!"
Yang Chen thought for a moment, and felt that it was a bit unreliable to ask Li Jiufu to do this, so he said, "It is more appropriate for Xu Hailang to take the reconnaissance battalion with him."
Seeing that Li Jiufu seemed to want to say more, Yang Chen said again: "This is an order!"
"Yes!"
Although Li Jiufu was full of reluctance, he had no choice but to agree in the end.
"Xu Hailang, you lead the scout battalion to destroy these bandits one after another.
Note, it's best to capture the bandit leader alive so that I can use him to restrain people's hearts. If it doesn't work, I can bring his head back. "
The reconnaissance battalion, as the battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Huben Regiment, was not directly involved in the Battle of Gushi, so its combat effectiveness is the most complete.
