I really came here to fight against Japan

Liao Simin was about to die, fortunately, Squad Leader Jin was right next to him.

Squad Leader Jin swung his Type 41 assault rifle, and the butt of the rifle flew up, knocking the grenade back.

The wounded Japanese soldier was killed by his own grenade, and Liao Simin was also saved.

As a result, even Squad Leader Jin believed the rumor in the army.

"The Liao family never crosses Lian, and crossing Lian avoids disasters. Old Liao, this legend is a bit weird!"

"Old Jin, I heard that there are many talented people in your Gansu Army. Can you take a look and see if you can solve this strange thing?"

Lao Jin was really honest. He secretly asked the special forces' long-wave radio to send an inquiry telegram to Song Wenwan.

Under Liao Simin's incredulous gaze, less than twenty minutes later, Song Wenwan really called Squad Leader Jin back.

Liao Simin: "Commander Song really came up with a solution for me?"

Squad Leader Jin: "Captain Liao, this first method is simple to say.

Aren't your brothers in danger if they become company commanders? Then won't it be okay for you to become a platoon leader?"

Liao Simin said with a smile: "No way, our Commander Song gave me such an idea?

I have finally come to where I am today, and now you want me to be a platoon leader? How can I be worthy of my ancestors?"

Squad Leader Jin: "Commander Song also said that if you don't agree, he still has a way."

"any solution?"

"If you get promoted to a higher position, this matter will be solved on its own."

Liao Simin: "Didn't I just get demoted? How can you expect me to get promoted?"

Squad Leader Jin: "Didn't you rescue quite a few Central Army prisoners of war?

You do this... this... and that, and then you can get back two hundred people and put them into your machine gun company.

It is only natural for you to be the commander of the machine gun battalion of the 200th Regiment."

He did what he said. Liao Simin took two of his men, pulled a cart and went to the prisoner-of-war camp.

The Political Training Department of the 200th Regiment was registering the prisoners of war at the POW camp when they saw Liao Simin and his men coming.

"Isn't this Lianzuo Liao? How come you have time to hang around here? Aren't you afraid that the Japanese will shoot you?

There are only a few people in the political training department of our 200th Regiment now. I won't take bullets for you when the time comes.

Next, this was searched from the little devil, or Hardman."

Although there was a hint of sarcasm in his words, he handed over the cigarette in his hand.

Liao Simin took the cigarette but did not smoke it. He put it on his ear and clamped it.

Then he approached him and said, "Lu Zhengxun, I need soldiers, machine gunners, and guards from the machine gun battalion."

After he finished speaking, he handed Officer Lu Zhengxun a flowered cloth bundle.

"These are two camels, both with filters, authentic American products."

Lu Zhengxun opened the bundle and saw that it was indeed the legendary Camel brand cigarettes.

He had tried a cigarette of this kind from the US military, and the tobacco tasted really good.

But he had never tasted Camel cigarettes with filters.

He heard from the American soldier that this kind of cigarette is also a high-end product in the US military.

Only American officers at the regimental level and above will have the chance to win.

Lu Zhengxun turned around and said, "Listen carefully, brothers, this is Captain Liao Simin of the machine gun company.

Whoever he chooses will follow him. Let me tell you, their machine gun company is a technical unit, and the soldiers are treated very well."

After Lu Zhengxun finished speaking, he immediately walked aside with a cigarette to share the good stuff with his men.

Liao Simin pulled aside the tarpaulin on the cart, revealing two Browning M1919 air-cooled heavy machine guns.

"This is the Browning M1919 air-cooled heavy machine gun, an imported product from America.

This is the standard weapon of our 200th Regiment of the Expeditionary Force. Does anyone know how to use it? Does anyone want to use it?

This time in Baoshan, we seized two Type 41 field guns, six Type 92 infantry guns, and even a lot of mortars.

So we also need to set up an artillery company. Who among you is an artilleryman? Is there anyone willing to come?

We are also going to set up a reinforced guard company and a baggage company. Are there any of you who would like to sign up?"

Prisoner of War: "Captain Liao, I have a lot of strength. I wonder if you have enough food?"

Liao Simin: "I provide food and meat here. Just because you called me the camp commander today, I can't treat you unfairly. I'll count you in.

But let’s make it clear first, don’t be cowardly when fighting the devils in the future, or don’t blame me for being rude.”

"Well, fine, as long as you have enough food to eat, my life will be yours."

When the prisoner heard that he would be provided with food and meat, he had no hesitation and immediately surrendered.

With the first one, there will be the hundredth. In a short time, Liao Simin recruited more than 500 soldiers.

The people from the Political Training Department who were watching the fun were all very surprised to see that Liao Simin had recruited so many people at once.

"Boss, is Liao Simin crazy? He is a company commander and wants to recruit so many soldiers. Will the higher-ups agree?"

Lu Zhengxun: "You know nothing. This time when our 200th Division entered Burma to fight, we lost nearly half of our brothers.

It is not easy to return to the country now. Our 200th Division will have to expand its forces sooner or later.

I heard that there are many mining areas in this area, and there are no less than tens of thousands of Kuomintang prisoners of war doing hard labor in the mountains.

If our 200th Regiment keeps fighting like this, by the time we return to Ruili, perhaps an entire 200th Division will have been formed.

Liao Simin looks very reckless, but he should have seen the general trend, so he is so bold. "

Liao Simin had already gathered his machine gun battalion, said hello to Lu Zhengxun, and went to the riverside.

Squad leader Jin gave him an idea and told him to simply set up a machine gun marine combat company.

In this way, when war comes, there is no need to worry that the people protecting them will not do their best.

Liao Simin first established a Marine company with four reinforced platoons, with a total of 200 people.

The baggage company consists of 200 people, and they are required to be able to drive a car or a horse-drawn carriage.

There are only five trucks that can be driven in Baoshan County now.

However, there are more than 200 Yunnan horses alone, and the marches will definitely be carried out by mules and horses.

The machine gun company has 100 people, the artillery company has 100 people, and the machine gun battalion headquarters has 20 people.

Liao Simin looked at his team, feeling as if he had not yet achieved enough.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a machine gun battalion only has 600 people, it seems that it is still not enough!"

Fortunately, Lu Zhengxun didn't hear what he said, otherwise, he would have jumped up and down and scolded him.

"Which of you in the National Army has ever seen a battalion of more than six or seven hundred people? Are you, Liao Simin, still not satisfied?"

Among these prisoners of war, there are quite a few machine gunners and artillerymen.

You can't try the artillery now, after all, it's not easy to get matching shells, but you can still try the heavy machine gun.

Liao Simin had people bring ten heavy machine guns, including Type 92 and Maxim, and placed them every thirty meters.

"Those of you who claim to be heavy machine gunners, come over here. Now we need to see what you are capable of.

I'll give you nine bullets each, be careful not to use too many of them, it's not easy for us to save up some bullets."

A machine gunner asked, "Commander, why aren't the weapons displayed there Browning heavy machine guns?"

Liao Simin: "Today we want to see how good your basic skills are in using heavy machine guns.

There is also this Browning heavy machine gun, which many people have never come into contact with, so using it to assess your abilities will not reveal your capabilities."
