Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

On the hillside near Yangquan Railway Station.

The Mountain Eagle and the Vulture were wandering around the bunkers on the mountain wearing ill-fitting Japanese military uniforms. They entered a Japanese bunker where the Japanese soldiers inside were having lunch.

Vulture spoke standard Kansai-accented Japanese to sell his products to the Japanese soldiers who were eating.

"This compass from the United States only costs you 20 dollars. It's not expensive at all."

As he spoke, Vulture waved the compass in front of the many Japanese soldiers, and the liquid that seeped out of the compass fell into their lunch boxes.

The leader of the squad snatched the compass, threw five dollars to Vulture, and cursed, "You Osaka merchants are very cunning, selling things worth one yen for four yen. You want 5 dollars for this thing, and I'll give you five dollars to cover the cost. If you have anything else, take it out quickly."

"You are robbing me. I won't do business with you anymore." After saying that, the vulture pulled the eagle away.

The two walked and talked, "How about it, my acting is not bad, right?"

"You just spread it around, and they all fell for it?"

"I soaked the compass in poison for a whole night. They are eating now. They must have eaten it after touching it."

Hearing the laughter coming from the bunker behind him, the vulture winked at the eagle.

In the next few bunkers, Vulture took out either a compass or a pocket watch and replicated the actions in the first bunker.

Walking all the way to the bunker at the bottom, Vulture happened to meet the Japanese who were actually there to sell small commodities. Vulture and Mountain Eagle looked at each other. They have been partners for many years and they can tell what the other is thinking just by one gesture.

The mountain eagle and the vulture surrounded the Japanese on the left and right. The vulture took out the classic ditch literature for the Japanese to study. The Japanese were immediately attracted by it, and kept saying "This country is the first", "It turns out that Colonel Yamamoto also sold ditch literature", "No wonder Commander Shinozuka loves Colonel Yamamoto so much".

Seeing the Japanese soldiers' attention being attracted by the storybook, the mountain eagle winked at the vulture, and the vulture knew that the work was done. Then the vulture said: "We will give this storybook to you, and we will charge you for the next issue."

After saying that, Vulture pulled Mountain Eagle away. Mountain Eagle asked, "Where did they buy that storybook of yours? How come they are so obsessed with it? If it wasn't all words, I would have thought it was a pornographic magazine."

Vulture smiled sheepishly and said, "This is a piece of mental pollution written by a new kid. It's said that he wrote about the devil Tianhuang and Lu Xiang, Yamamoto Ikki and Shinozuka Yoshio, Okamura Ningci and the bald man, and so on and so forth."

"Hey, you know what, what this young man wrote is quite useful." The two of them talked as they walked, and after going down the mountain, they went into the woods and disappeared.

353rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army

The head of the 353rd Regiment, Yang Xingru, looked at the price list in front of him, then looked at He Shaotang who was sitting upright opposite him.

He said, "Brother He, although you and I belong to the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army respectively. But brother He, do you think I am a fool? All the regiment commanders of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army in the Three Shanxis know that the International Youth Column will subsidize the original unit with 20 US dollars for recruiting a qualified infantryman, and 1 US dollars for each month of military service. Machine gunners are 2 US dollars. For example, artillery and motor vehicle soldiers are 50 US dollars, but how come they become big dollars when they come to you, brother He? Do you think I, Yang Xingru, am a fool?" After saying that, he slammed the price list on the table.

He Shaotang said with embarrassment: "You are afraid of getting involved with the Eighth Route Army. Everyone knows that the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone and the Eighth Route Army have been fighting each other for a disagreement. If the higher-ups find out, Brother Yang will be in big trouble, right? I am different. Since I was kicked to Shanxi by the Military and Political Department, I have been unloved by my grandma and grandfather. Even if the higher-ups find out, I can just find a mountain valley to hide and quit. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I will take the money and go abroad to retire."

Yang Xingru slammed the table and said, "Brother, you are not afraid, so how can I, Yang Xingru, be afraid? If the higher-ups find out, I will drag our brigade commanders and division commanders to work with us. When we have money, even if we don't have anything else, we can have plenty of infantrymen with 5 yuan resettlement allowance."

Seeing Yang Xingru say this, He Shaotang secretly took out a price list and said to Yang Xingru: "This is because I have too many brothers under me and we don't have enough food. Wang Caishen was afraid that the soldiers he recruited would not meet his requirements, so he gave us discounts. When I, He, couldn't even have enough food in the whole Shanxi, you, Yang, helped me. I only showed this discount list to you, don't spread it around."

Yes, Wang Zizai has now become known as the God of Wealth in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army by spending money on a large scale.

Hearing what He Shaotang said, Yang Xingru took the price list suspiciously and took a look. After seeing it, she could no longer care about her modesty and pulled He Shaotang to ask, "Is this price real?"

It's not that Yang Xingru is not reserved, but Wang Zizai gave too much. Basic infantrymen cost 20 dollars each, but strong infantrymen cost 80 dollars each, and Wang Zizai also provided double the military rations and nutritious meals for training strong infantrymen. Yang Xingru heard that the military rations packages from Wang Zizai included cigarettes and coffee, all of which were genuine Star goods, transported from the black market in Shanxi to Shancheng, and the dignitaries were crazy about grabbing them.

He Shaotang slowly turned another page for Yang Xingru, which said that infantrymen who knew how to read would receive subsidies, and the more words they knew, the more subsidies they would receive. The situation of the death squad was not good now, and many young people wanted to fight the Japanese but could not find a team. If you train a group of progressive young people, and they become strong infantrymen who can read and write in a month, the maximum subsidy would be 882 US dollars.

Seeing Yang Xingru like this, He Shaotang threw out another heavy bait.

"The International Youth Column wants to send a caravan through the Brothers' Defense Zone, and will give Brothers 500 US dollars for each trip. I heard that as long as this trade route is opened, there will be at least two trips from the Brothers' Defense Zone a day."

Yang Xingru slammed the price list shut and said, "Okay, I'll gather the team this afternoon, and you can let the God of Wealth choose the soldiers."

Hearing Yang Xingru say this, He Shaotang stood up, straightened his uniform, and said to Yang Xingru: "Since Brother Xingru is so quick, I will quickly notify the God of Wealth and ask his non-commissioned officer group to come over for selection."

Yang Xingru quickly stood up and said, "I'll take you there, bro."

The headquarters of the 356th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army

Wang Zizai was selecting soldiers. Looking at the obviously thin soldiers, Wang Zizai couldn't help but shook his head.

The cooperation with He Shaotang was very pleasant before. He sold 5000 qualified infantrymen to him at one go, including many officers. At that time, he was afraid that the officers would gather together to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, after being handed over to the training team and going through the political department of the training team, those officers abandoned their bad habits in the national army and reformed one by one.

From then on, Wang Zizai began to spend a lot of money in the National Army, no matter if you were the head of the Central Army or the head of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Do you think the price is low? Pay more! As long as your soldiers are of good quality, he will buy them for you.

When the head of the 356th Regiment, Wang Zhiran, saw the God of Wealth shaking his head, he could not help but said anxiously, "Liaison Officer Wang, it's not that I don't feed the soldiers, but the rations we have are limited. I have to feed my main force. Only when the main force is well fed will they not defect to the puppet army. Don't look at how thin these soldiers are. Many of them are the troops I gathered during the Battle of Xinkou. They have all seen blood and fought against the Japanese."

As soon as Wang Ziyi heard this, he knew that there was definitely some truth in Wang Zhiran's words. But it didn't matter. As long as he joined the training team, the puppet soldiers would give him a good beating.

"Captain Wang, it doesn't matter if the soldiers are thin, we can make them back, but we don't want rookies. This is the first time we work together, so I won't find fault with you. But next time, you have to bring me qualified soldiers."

Wang Zhiran nodded and said, "Of course, of course, Liaison Officer Wang, I was wrong this time. Next time I will definitely send you elite troops for you to choose from."

"I'll give you 20 US dollars per infantryman this time, and your military service will not be compensated. If Captain Wang finds it troublesome to increase the weight of the soldiers, you can sign an agreement with our flying brigade. We will provide you with double the military rations and nutritious meals per person every day. As long as you deliver the full number of soldiers to us within one month, I'll give you 100 US dollars per soldier. If you fail to do so, there will be no next cooperation." Wang Zizai was obviously giving a sweet treat after giving him a blow.

"Thank you, Liaison Officer Wang."

"Guard Company, select soldiers."

Player Camp

Haoqi looked at Bai Cang and Qiu Ran in silence, and said helplessly: "Can you show your affection somewhere else, not in my office?"

Bai Cang glanced at the frantic Haoqi and said, "Several of our corps have discussed with the training team. The infantry department of the training team is going to open an officer training camp. We don't have any suitable non-commissioned officers to receive training. You have poached so many people from the government recently. You should arrange for 1000 grassroots non-commissioned officers to receive training. When the time comes, the meritorious Hu Bai Corps and the Chen Wang Corps will provide the qualified officers, and the three of us will share them equally."

Bloodline suppression is sometimes very effective, Haoqi could only nod and agree.

But he still wondered, "When did the Hu Bai Corps and the Chen Wang Corps appear?"

Bai Cang looked at Haoqi speechlessly and said, "I told you to pay more attention to the announcement and stop thinking about flying planes, but you didn't listen. Although the corps system can only upgrade the rank to second lieutenant for the time being, multiple companies can be reorganized into a large force."

“以我们当时救得战俘跟俘虏的伪军为基干，我们整训了8个重炮连，加两个步兵连，3个运输连。组合成了国际纵队独立第一重炮大队（胡白陈团），王老那边用2个步兵连3个高射炮连1个坦克连2个重炮连2个山炮连加4个运输连组成了独立第一合成大队（王齐陈团）。”
