Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Hearing Zhang Ling's words, a new soldier raised his hand curiously and asked, "Captain."

"Aren't we short of people now?"

"We are here to learn and fight at the same time, so why is there an internship period?"

"Yes, Captain."

The other recruits couldn't understand it either.

But this is the first big thing after Zhang Ling’s reform.

It will take a period of time to select soldiers who have strong psychological qualities and are able to undertake difficult combat tasks.

This is a real battlefield of the War of Resistance, not just playing games in front of a computer.

If the psychological quality is not up to standard, big problems are likely to arise at critical moments.

Because of this, Zhang Ling will have an observation period as a new recruit.

"Everyone, I understand your desire to serve the motherland."

"But you should also understand that this is a battlefield, not a game of house."

"If you cannot pass the recruit screening test, then it proves that you are not suitable to be a soldier."

"So, I can only ask you to leave the army." Zhang Ling said.

Worried that everyone might have negative emotions, Zhang Ling continued to explain: "But you don't have to worry so much."

"I know that you all came all the way to join the Eighth Route Army to fight against the Japanese invaders."

"But even if you don't stay, please don't worry."

"Our Zhaojia Village is the command post of the 772nd Regiment. In addition to recruiting new soldiers, this regiment commander also...

"We also need a large number of talents who can do construction, such as workers and newspaper reporters, etc."

"We, Zhaojia Village, will not only become a thorn in the side of the enemy's front line during the war of resistance."

"It is also to become the first imitation base of the Eighth Route Army base in northwest Shanxi that can develop production independently while fighting."

"In the future, Zhaojia Village will not only have our 772nd Regiment stationed there to fight against the Japanese invaders."

"It is also a logistics support base that can provide ammunition, food and medical supplies to the vast number of brother troops."

Zhang Ling’s words shocked everyone present.

My goodness, are they going to build Zhaojia Village into a solid fortress?

If it is true as he said, wouldn't it be possible to make greater contributions to the war of resistance?

"Captain Zhang, if we are not selected, will we directly work in the rear factories or the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army?"

Zhang Ling nodded: "Yes, this leader also knows that in our team."

"Some female comrades were reporters for newspapers before they came here, and some male comrades were researchers in chemistry, physics, or even farmers before they came here."

"To be honest, it would be a waste to just send such talents to the battlefield to fight."

"For example, I, Zhang Ling, may be the head of the 772nd Regiment, but I can't write a newspaper, produce steel, or even grow crops."

"Then people like me can only go to the battlefield and fight the devils."

"Although people say that our Eighth Route Army soldiers are heroes, in my opinion."

"The real heroes are those who contribute all they have to the war effort."

"For example, the food we eat, the steel workers who make weapons, and the pens we hold in our hands that write the truth in news that terrifies the enemy."

"These are all contributions made during the war of resistance, so you don't need to feel discouraged because you were not elected."

"We still need you in our rear areas. We need all kinds of talents to build our own motherland."

"After we drive away the Japanese invaders, we will build our own beautiful country."

"Make it rich and powerful, and no longer be bullied."

Everyone at the scene applauded Zhang Ling's words.

Afterwards, Zhang Ling directly asked Xu Erniu, Li Dazhuang and others to arrange for the kitchen staff to prepare dinner for the 500 new soldiers.

There are a lot of good things in the secret cold storage in Zhaojia Village nowadays.

There are all kinds of food and medical supplies.

Naturally, the new soldiers were treated well on their first day.

Then take a day off.

The formal training for new recruits only began on the third day after joining the 772nd Regiment.

If we follow the standards of modern armies, the training for new recruits will take at least half a year.

But this was the period of the Anti-Japanese War and there was no such time.

And the boss only gave the 772nd Regiment half a year.

Therefore, Zhang Ling compressed the time into one month.

That is to say, after a month, it will work if it works and it won’t work if it doesn’t.

However, considering the nutritional level of this era.

Naturally, the standards for training new recruits are much lower.

Otherwise, if you can't get enough nutrition and still dare to train hard, this is not conscription.

This is a conscription of young men.

The new leader of the 772nd Regiment is a nice person with a good temper.

Unlike the bosses of other teams who sometimes curse at people, he is also very cultured.

In addition, the new recruits will be treated to delicious food and wine on their first day of service.

The food for three meals a day is also very good.

Such news soon produced a result.

That was the original plan to restore the establishment of 1500 people first.

Within a week, the 772nd Regiment was expanded to 4000 people.

Wow, they have become the Eighth Route Army version of the Sakata Regiment.

Faced with such a situation, the whole group was extremely happy.

Because there are 4000 people.

So Zhang Ling directly divided the 772nd Regiment into four battalions.

A battalion has 1000 people.

Zhang Ling mainly wanted to use this standard to directly form 772 battalions in the 15nd Regiment.

This way there will be people.

Although it is different from the standard organization of the Eighth Route Army, it doesn’t matter.

There is no such thing as rules or no rules these days.

As long as you can afford it, you can have a group of 10 people.

As long as you can afford it.

This is also the reason why the boss agreed to delegate power to Zhang Ling.

If you, Zhang Ling, have this ability and can really support them, then why not do it?

After the new battalion commanders of the 3rd and 4th Battalions were appointed.

Zhang Ling assigned the training tasks.

At the same time, he ordered the kitchen squad to ensure the logistics of three meals a day for the soldiers.

And you must have a boiled egg every day, as well as one meat and two vegetable dishes, and half a pound of rice.

Although Zhang Ling was able to produce a large amount of food.

But no one in the group said a word.

Everyone understands that these days, if there is food in your group, it is your own food.

You're still talking with your mouth open?

According to the education in the group.

When asked about it, people outside said they had not eaten meat for March and had been eating radishes and cabbage every day.

Therefore, everyone was happy to make a fortune at the door.

After all this has been arranged.

A week passed.

On this day, Zhang Ling was at the regiment headquarters listening to the intelligence bureau's information about the whereabouts of the Japanese devils.

Suddenly, the door of the regiment headquarters opened and Li Dazhuang walked in with a newcomer.

The new guy had short hair and was carrying a regular Eighth Route Army backpack as he headed north.

"Report to the regiment commander, this man is called Zhao Gang, and he is said to be the new political commissar."
