Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Lin Tian slowly raised his hand and made a gesture to everyone to keep quiet.

"Comrades, please be quiet!"

The noisy scene suddenly became silent. He slowly stood up, glanced at everyone present, then cleared his throat and said in a low and firm voice:

"Comrades, we won a great victory today, which is indeed worth celebrating! However, we must not forget that the hateful Japanese devils have not been completely driven out of our land, and we still need to continue to work hard!"

Having said that, Lin Tian raised the wine bowl in his hand high, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Let's toast to the victory of this battle and the happiness of the Chinese people!" Lin Tian said excitedly.

All the soldiers stood up, raised their wine bowls, and responded to Lin Tian's call. For a moment, the entire training ground was filled with lofty sentiments and ambitions.

Lin Tian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, poured himself another bowl of wine, and raised the bowl, "Come on, let's raise our glasses again, for victory, for driving the Japanese out of China as soon as possible, cheers!"

"Cheers!" everyone responded in unison and drank it all in one gulp.

"This is the third bowl. Welcome our new comrades!"

Lin Tian raised the wine bowl and pointed it towards Liu Wu and others, raising his hand.

"Shh!"

The soldiers all raised the wine bowls in their hands, turned around and faced the direction of Liu Wu and others.

Everyone in the former POW camp was excited, with tears in their eyes.

They also raised their wine bowls.

"drink!"

Lin Tian gave an order.

The soldiers drank it all and wiped their mouths.

After three bowls of wine, the strong effect of alcohol suddenly came up.

Many people's faces flushed and were visibly red.

At the celebration banquet, everyone laughed and celebrated the hard-won victory. Lin Tian looked at the group of vigorous soldiers in front of him, his heart full of confidence and hope.

After finishing his drink, Lin Tian continued, "I have another important decision to announce today. In view of the current changes in the development of the First Military Division, I have decided to reorganize our troops."

After saying this, Lin Tian's eyes flashed with brilliance and he glanced around at everyone.

Hearing this, the soldiers all sat up straight, looking at Lin Tian with their eyes full of passion and hope.

Everyone had known for a long time that the commander was going to make some changes this time, but we didn't expect that he would bring it up right at the beginning.

Especially former prisoners of war like Liu Wu, who had previously belonged to different armies and factions.

Some of them even had conflicts with the Eighth Route Army before. Although they were rescued by Lin Tian this time, they were willing to join Lin Tian’s army.

But everyone still doesn’t know much about Lin Tian. After all, they have only been with Lin Tian for a few days.

However, after hearing what Lin Tian said, and seeing the monk and Wang Erhu who were in the same prisoner-of-war camp as himself in the past few days.

One is the platoon leader of the guard platoon who is responsible for protecting Lin Tian’s safety, and the other is the deputy company commander of the artillery company with dozens of advanced artillery pieces.

Everyone's anxiety gradually disappeared.

Lin Tian glanced around, seeing everyone's fiery gazes, and continued, "In the past few days, many people have heard that we have completely wiped out the Japanese Fourth Brigade, and have joined our team. As of today, we have a total of 1400 people!"

"It's already the size of a regiment!"

"I decide--"

"Establish an infantry battalion as a battalion."

"There are 350 people under his command, and Fang Zheng is the commander of the first battalion!"

Fang Zheng immediately stood up, too excited to speak, and saluted Lin Tian solemnly.

After he finished speaking, there was warm applause on the training ground.

Lin Tian had his own considerations when choosing Fang Zheng to be the battalion commander.

Fang Zheng is an old member of the Independent Regiment and has been following him since the beginning.

He made many military achievements.

The most important thing is that Fang Zheng is a talented person who is both civil and military.

Lin Tian believes that battalion commanders must possess a certain level of knowledge and culture, which is very important for Lin Tian’s plan to build a high-level, high-quality force in the future.

After all, as more and more battles are fought in the future, the system rewards will definitely increase.

We already have tanks, and there will definitely be airplanes in the future. If our soldiers don’t know how to drive them by then, it will all be in vain.

It seems that this literacy campaign is imminent.

The weapons rewarded by the system are becoming more and more advanced. After all, we now have tanks and Katyusha rocket launchers.

But it is not yet capable of forming combat effectiveness.

The reason is very simple, no one can do it, not even Lin Tian...

In fact, Lin Tian was not worried about the Katyusha rocket launcher. After all, Wang Chengzhu and his artillery company had experience in using the 107 rocket launcher.

It is only a matter of time before we can figure out the secrets of the Katyusha rocket launcher.

Lin Tian pressed his hand, and the soldiers immediately quieted down, waiting for Lin Tian's next order.

"The cavalry company suffered heavy losses this time. With only 150 people, they managed to defeat an entire cavalry regiment of the Japanese. They are truly heroes!"

"But now there are only 34 people left in the cavalry company."

"In view of this situation, I have made a temporary decision."

"Keep Zhang Laoer's position as the company commander of the cavalry company unchanged, and establish a 180-man cavalry company."

"Second brother, thank you for your hard work during this period. Rebuild the cavalry company first."

"Don't be discouraged. In the future we will have a cavalry battalion or even a cavalry regiment."

"This position belongs to you, I'll keep it for you!"

At this time, one of Zhang Laoer's arms was still bandaged and hanging around his neck, and one of his legs was still in a splint.

Obviously the injuries from this battle were serious.

The remaining people in the cavalry company were less seriously injured than Zhang Laoer. After all, Zhang Laoer was the most aggressive one in the battle with the Japanese cavalry regiment.

Zhang Laoer was very excited and struggled to stand up with the help of a crutch. The people around him tried to help him but were pushed away by Zhang Laoer.

After struggling to stand still, Zhang Laoer threw away his crutches, raised his intact right hand, and saluted Lin Tian.

"Thank you, Commander!"

"Before I met the commander, I was wearing Er Gouzi's yellow suit!"

"Not only are we looked down upon by the devils, we are treated like cattle and horses!"

"Even our own people are stabbing us in the back!"

“What a coward!”

"What a fucking loser!"

"Thinking about it now, it's so damn embarrassing!"

"After I met the commander, he not only did not despise my past, but also entrusted me with important tasks."

"A scholar will die for his confidant!"

"I am Zhang Laoer, and I am very lucky to be able to follow the commander to fight the Japanese!"

"I followed the commander only to kill the devils, nothing else!"

"Thank you, Commander, for thinking so highly of me. I will definitely kill the devils well to repay you!"

Zhang Laoer was quite excited. After he finished speaking, he raised his wine bowl and drank it all.

The soldiers also resonated with Zhang Laoer's words.

What Zhang Laoer said was exactly the voice of every soldier present.

"Whoosh!"

The applause lasts forever!

Lin Tian returned the greeting to Zhang Laoer...
