Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

In order to facilitate combat use, the vehicle adopts an open-top design by default, and heavy machine guns, light machine guns or rocket launchers can be installed on the top of the vehicle. Some officers can install a soft roof in rainy or windy weather to block bad weather.

Because of its powerful horsepower and off-road capabilities, it can even be used to tow artillery weighing less than 1 ton. If it is towing artillery weighing about 500 kilograms, it can move at full speed.

The most important point is that the price of the BJ212 jeep is only 300 military merit points.

"The BJ212 jeep is a Chinese product from the 60s, and it's too old. Even the Unimog from the late 40s sold for 1000 merit points, but this one only sells for 300. Is it because the jeep's uses are not as good as trucks? So the price is so different?"

He couldn't understand the reason, but Xu Le wished it were so, as this way he could save some money!

Each regiment has 54 machine guns and 3 Gatling guns. Including officers above the battalion level, each regiment is equipped with 65 vehicles. Three regiments need about 3 vehicles, which is 200 military merit points.

"Why do I always feel like I don't have enough money to spend after I become rich?"

Xu Le couldn't help but think of his previous life in the 21st century. No matter how high or low his salary was, when his bank card balance was high, there were always some messy things that required money, and then the balance would be empty again.

I always feel that there is a kind of magic in this world, but I can’t tell what it is. Anyway, no matter what, the balance is always the same!

There is not enough money, so I can only purchase 70 vehicles temporarily. The extra 5 will be allocated to the headquarters for use. Military merit points will be consumed and the balance will be used.

Xu Le has a habit of leaving some money aside at all times in case of emergency.

There are no villages around Meidong Mountain, so the population is sparse and it is impossible to recruit soldiers on a large scale locally. Therefore, Xu Le urged Jiang Feng to transform the prisoners headed by Guo Ditie.

By the end of August, all the puppet troops captured during the attack on Meidong Mountain had completed education by the Political Department and were placed under the jurisdiction of the Guo Metro.

Jiang Feng also discussed with Guo Ditie, and officially confirmed the organization of the last main regiment of the Independent 176th Division, the 387th Regiment of the 664th Brigade. Guo Ditie will be the regiment commander. All the soldiers are puppet troops who were transformed from prisoners. The current number of people is exactly one full regiment.

After all, in order to achieve independence under the nose of the National Guard, it is necessary to unify the political psychology of the soldiers under his command, so Xu Le did not directly deploy the 664th Regiment.

Instead, Guo Ditie continued to lead the 664th Regiment to participate in the mining of the Meidongshan Iron Mine, while carrying out in-depth political education and military training.

By this calculation, the 664th Regiment is the busiest in the Independent 176th Division, getting up early and going to bed late every day.

It is said that the Political Department has done a great job under the leadership of Xu Er. Under such pressure, the soldiers of the 664th Regiment, who have always been cunning and treacherous, actually rushed to work happily, fearing that their jobs would be taken away by others, and they also trained very hard.

Liu Quanhua and Wang Dafu also came to visit. At one point, they felt that they had relaxed their training of their men and were actually not as good as a new regiment.

Under such internal competition, even the 666th Regiment, which was composed of veterans, was forced to intensify training in all aspects, for fear that its title as the main regiment of the 176th Division would be taken away.

The original monthly output of the iron ore was about 350 tons of ore. With the addition of the 664th Regiment and Zhaozhuang equipment, the monthly output is expected to be around 1000 tons.

Because the grade is slightly higher than that of Zhaozhuang Iron Mine, the monthly pig iron output can reach about 550 tons, and this is when there are insufficient equipment. Otherwise, it can be doubled.

According to the plan, BJ212 jeeps were also equipped to the 666th Regiment on a priority basis, and the regiment temporarily had an assault force.

Another exciting thing for the soldiers finally happened. It was not that there was another battle to fight, nor that they had new equipment, but that the first group of returning home teams had completed their mission and returned with letters from the folks in the Acropolis.

"Chen Dagou, this is a letter your mother asked someone to write for you."

"Wang Li, this is yours. Congratulations, your wife gave birth to a big fat boy for you!"

"Chen Luyi, you have two letters, one from your father and one from your little flower. Which one do you want to read first?"

.....

Xiao Si held a stack of envelopes in his hand and read out the names one by one. The 388th Brigade was composed of local people from the Acropolis. Xiao Si also grew up in the Acropolis. Because of the warlords, he knew a lot of people. He could remember almost everyone in the army and knew roughly what the situation was at home.

Behind him were several soldiers carrying several backpacks, which contained, in addition to other letters from home, something very special.

After everyone left, Xiao Si brought the item to Xu Le and said, "Master, this is what the butler asked me to bring to you. This is also a token of gratitude from the people of Acropolis!"

It was a piece of folded red cloth. Xu Da stepped forward and unfolded it with Xiao Si, and then its full appearance was revealed.

This is a flag, all red, with a few large golden characters in the middle: 176th Division

"This is the number of my unit, and it is also the expectation of all the people of the Acropolis. Xu Da, hand this flag over to Minister Jiang. From now on, it will be the flag of my Independent 176th Division!"

"Yes!"

"Xiao Si, why do you look weird? Are you hiding something from me?"

Xiao Si seemed to be thinking of something sad, tears slowly flowed down his face, and he choked up and said, "Master, the butler... the butler passed away..."

"What did you say?" Xu Le was shocked. He had no feelings for the characters in this world, but having inherited the memories of the original owner, he would naturally feel emotional because of certain things.

He clearly remembered that he lost his mother when he was young, and his father Xu Xiao spent most of his time busy with official business in order to ensure that Weicheng could survive in the chaotic times, and he rarely had a few days of peaceful life at home.

There were no other elders in the family, so most of the time it was the housekeeper who took on the responsibility of raising him.

Not only him, but also Xiaosi, Xiaohuan and Xiaocui. The four of them grew up together. The housekeeper is like their grandfather, so kind and amiable.

Xu Le tried hard to control his emotions and asked, "How did the housekeeper pass away? He was always in good health, how could he just die like that?"

Xiao Si put away his grief and said with hatred: "The housekeeper said that he was worried about you, young master, so he packed up the house and came with us. Everything was going well until we passed by Wanquan County and were met by a group of bandits.

Because we brought some local specialties and donated money from the people of the Acropolis, the bandits started to target us.

The bandits are numerous and powerful, so in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Wanquan devils, we plan to abandon these things.

But you also know that the butler has always been frugal and would not waste a grain of rice when eating. Just because the butler hesitated, the bandits killed him! ......"

Xu Le's facial expression did not change at all, but he turned to look at the guard members beside him.

Because Xiaosi was part of the first group returning home and was not familiar with the route, 10 guards were sent to ensure their safety.

"What happened? With your abilities, it's impossible that you can't deal with some bandits. Why did such a mistake happen?"
