Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

The boss had just swallowed a mouthful of noodles when he heard the telegram from Zhang Ling.

He immediately put down the bowl: "It's over. I swallowed a lot just now."

"I took advantage of this kid, I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly!"

The comrades in the intelligence department couldn't help laughing: "Boss, don't say it."

"Commander Zhang really came to ask for someone for you."

"I knew that this little bastard Zhang Ling couldn't hold his fart well."

"Tell me, what does he want now?"

The soldier saluted and then began to read the telegram.

That's roughly what the telegram means.

Boss, I, Zhang, would like to thank you for your cultivation and promotion.

With great difficulty, the 772nd Regiment was not disbanded under my leadership.

It is still developing and developing nowadays.

Captain Cheng the Blind and other soldiers can rest in peace now.

Today, the independent division is finally thriving under the care of the boss.

However, there are serious problems with the organization of independent divisions now.

After careful investigation by Lao Zhang and heart-to-heart talks with the soldiers.

The independent division is still short of at least 1.2 personnel.

When the boss heard that the independent division would still need 1.2 staff, he was stunned.

"Political Commissar, how many people does Zhang Ling's independent division have now?"

"3 million!"

The political commissar said as he ate noodles with minced meat.

"Damn, the independent division has gained 3 people in one go, almost catching up with my headquarters." The boss looked confused.

"There are already 3 people, and Zhang Ling wants another 1.2. Is he planning a rebellion?"

The political commissar was eating noodles with minced meat while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Boss, you have to give it to me. A large amount of military supplies for the entire headquarters were all provided by Zhang Ling."

"And the cigarettes and drinks from yesterday."

The political commissar's words also stunned the boss.

And, the boss picked up the minced meat noodles and took a bite.

Really want to!

"Damn, call Zhang Ling back."

"As long as he doesn't take over my headquarters, he can do whatever he wants with the rest."

"By the way, tell him that he can recruit more people, but he has to be able to support them himself."

"If you can't afford it, don't ask the headquarters, they are also poor!"

"Snort!"

……

After Zhang Ling received the call back, he immediately called Zhao Gang, Li Dazhuang and others over.

In the division headquarters, Zhang Ling conveyed the boss's intentions.

Then, he said happily: "The boss's meaning is now very clear."

"Everyone has seen it. The boss said that this position can be given to us at will."

“But we have to be able to support ourselves.”

"I've been waiting for the commander to say this. Expand the team, expand it immediately."

“Tell every group leader that there are only 1.2 places available.”

"As many as you can get, the most you can get is 1.5!"

"Commander, are you going to expand by another 10 regiments?" Zhao Gang looked confused.

"Stop talking nonsense and get it done!" Zhang Ling waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Heli County, County Party Committee and Government Recruitment Office.

At this time, many young and middle-aged men, as well as some young women, came to the throne for a physical examination.

Everyone trusts the Eighth Route Army in Heli County.

Who wouldn't want to join the army to fight the Japanese?

But it was only ten days.

All the 1.5-person staff were distributed.

Even so, there are still a lot of people who have not been selected.

But it doesn't matter.

Those who are knowledgeable and educated are all arranged to work in professional departments.

The remaining young and strong labor force was arranged to work in military factories and other departments.

The comrades from the Logistics Bureau and the County Party Committee were responsible for the arrangements afterwards.

They all joined the Heli County Militia Regiment.

On weekdays, I mainly reclaim wasteland with my fellow villagers.

Increase food supply in Heli County.

When there are small-scale battles, the militia will take action.

Moreover, Zhang Ling wanted to prevent the militia from having weak combat effectiveness.

He also specifically ordered the military factories to directly equip the militia with a large number of mortars and grenades.

And they were also given two 155 howitzers.

As well as 20 heavy machine guns and 10 rounds of ammunition.

As for the Type 95 automatic rifle, it has become standard equipment for everyone.

Given this configuration, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to call it a militia.

But Zhang Ling knew very well.

Since it's a war.

That can't be done according to common sense.

You have to take an unconventional path.

After the armed forces and production forces in Heli County have been fully deployed.

In fact, the entire independent division already has 5 combat personnel.

Well, the 4.5th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army has only people.

Yes, very nice!

In the following period, Heli County entered a vigorous large-scale production and land reclamation campaign.

According to the history that Zhang Ling remembered before.

After the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the Japanese would launch a frenzied encirclement and suppression campaign against the Eighth Route Army in the entire northwest of Shanxi.

Before this, the Japanese actually did not regard the Eighth Route Army as a force that could be taken seriously.

Therefore, there was no special focus on the Eighth Route Army at all.

The attention has always been on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

But the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was not up to the task.

Those who were beaten by the Japanese devils ran away screaming.

And then the Hundred Regiments Campaign began.

The Japanese were caught off guard by the Eighth Route Army and only then did they react.

Under his nose, the growth of the Eighth Route Army has become unstoppable.

Therefore, a siege campaign was launched against northwestern Shanxi.

It was precisely because of this encirclement and suppression that the Eighth Route Army's already limited supplies were blocked even further.

From that time on, the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi understood the importance of self-reliance.

According to the timeline, there are less than two months left until the Hundred Regiments Campaign begins.

But Zhang Ling had already launched a large-scale self-reliant production movement in Heli County.

During this period of time, the independent division has been able to be self-sufficient in most of its supplies and guns and ammunition.

They even sent a total of 40 155mm howitzers to the boss.

However, a lot of steel was consumed.

In addition to Heli County, a large amount of iron ore and coal from Cangyunling were transported to Heli County for production.

From time to time, Zhang Ling had to arrange troops to go out and dig up the railroad tracks.

The Japanese railway had just been transported back to be used to manufacture weapons such as cannons and heavy machine guns.

Of course, because it was arranged by Zhang Ling.

So after each battle, the Japanese's points would be counted on his head.

This God of War system is quite considerate of the host.

During this period of time, Zhang Ling used his limited points to continuously replace the equipment of the independent division.

While constantly exchanging large quantities of 155 howitzers.

At the same time, tank driver training was also started through the Osaka Division.

No way, he has points again.

Good things can also be exchanged.

But the problem is that there are no people, especially no professional technicians.

The Eighth Route Army was too poor.

Wanting to train tank drivers is simply a pipe dream.

Even Heli County doesn't have an oil refinery, so it's almost impossible to get diesel for tanks.

But Lingyun can exchange it.

These are not the problems, the problem is the lack of people!
