Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Lin Qiang still didn't know what would happen next. After the team returned to the base, the first thing they had to deal with was the physical condition of the people they brought back.

I'm not sick, I'm just hungry and tired. I just need to eat and drink enough and rest for a few days.

It was a happy thing that the team was expanded again, and the entire base was cheering for it.

Only the soldiers in the kitchen squad looked worried.

How long will it take to finish cooking the meal for hundreds of people?

But it was obvious that Zhao Dezhu and the soldiers in the kitchen team were worrying too much.

Lin Qiang did not give the entire task to them, but mobilized the people in the resettlement camps and the base area to share the burden.

After dealing with this matter, Lin Qiang went into the warehouse alone.

After making sure that there was no one around, he excitedly put the reward into the warehouse.

"The firepower of an artillery regiment, plus 500 tons of artillery shells, Ono, I'm actually looking forward to your encirclement and suppression!"

This raid on the POW camp not only successfully rescued hundreds of prisoners, but also expanded the strength of a platoon.

The most important thing is the reward given by the system, which is very simple this time.

仅有36门美式M2A1型105毫米榴弹炮，炮弹300吨。

How little!

However, it also comes with artillery shell manufacturing blueprints and artillery training manuals.

They can instantly understand how to produce this type of howitzer shells, and can also instantly understand how to operate this type of howitzer and achieve 100% accuracy.

This operation was undoubtedly the most successful one. With the howitzers of this artillery regiment, Lin Qiang was confident that he could keep the Japanese army out of the base, let alone another one.

Don’t forget, there is another big one in the making, it will be out in a few days!

For conventional combat, it is enough for me to carry only mortars, after all, howitzers and infantry guns need to be towed.

Now there is an artillery regiment in a row, but it has no towing capability.

You can't use the cavalry company's horses for...it seems okay.

During combat, all you need to do is tow the howitzer to the designated location and then return the horse to the cavalry.

In any case, Lin Qiang would never agree to let the cavalry take the lead.

"Oh, if only there were a few more anti-aircraft guns!"

The combat capability on land is currently sufficient to deal with various battles, but the air defense capability cannot be said to be weak, it can only be said to be without any solution.

Lin Qiang was also familiar with the Gulf War and understood how terrifying it was to have air strike capabilities.

They were worried that the Japanese would be really angered and send a bomber formation, which could destroy most of the base just by flying over it.

Lin Qiang was not too worried about this matter. The most important thing at the moment was to form an artillery regiment.

A complete artillery regiment has a strength of 1000 people, including cadres in various positions.

But for a platoon, there is no need to fully staff the artillery regiment at the moment; half of the troops are completely sufficient.

This also includes medical and logistics personnel.

After Lin Qiang walked out of the warehouse, he planned to select soldiers with gunnery experience and do ideological work on the people he brought back.

But he found that Hu Zi and several other team leaders were standing outside the warehouse, arguing with each other for some unknown reason.

"What are you guys arguing about?"

Lin Qiang walked over quickly, and after seeing this, the others shut up tactfully.

"Huzi, tell me, what are you guys arguing about?"

Hu Zi opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Instead, Qiangzi replied, "Platoon leader, they were arguing about dividing the troops."

"What about you?"

Lin Qiang stared at him and asked, "You didn't make any noise?"

Qiangzi shook his head and replied, "I don't have any."

"Really not?"

"Really not!"

At this time, Wu Zhe came forward with his butt covered to complain: "Platoon leader, I prove that Qiangzi did not make a fuss."

"Look at you, you really..."

“But he just hit me.”

Lin Qiang's attitude changed 180 degrees: "What a bastard!"

Even when facing Lin Qiang, Qiangzi still said with an indignant look on his face: "You deserve it, kid. Who told you to say that I have strong limbs but a simple mind?"

"I said that behind your back, who knew you would show up suddenly."

"Platoon Leader, I can't bear it anymore!"

"You have to endure it!"

Lin Qiang was so angry when he saw these guys. They were arguing with each other over the division of troops, and their faces were red and their necks were thick. How disgraceful.

It seems like they've been a bit too far away lately. It's time to teach them a lesson: "Each person must carry 30 kilograms of weight and run 5 kilometers in 30 minutes. If you exceed the time limit, continue. When you finish in 10 minutes, come back to me."

"Yes!"

……

Thirty minutes later.

Several captains appeared in front of Lin Qiang like drowned rats, as if they had been fished out of the water.

"Have you finished running?"

"Report~We're all done!"

Lin Qiang instructed Zhang Yuntian, "You are responsible for conducting ideological work for those people and trying your best to get them to join our team. For those who are unwilling but still want to stay in the base, arrange for them to go to the arsenal and hospital."

"As for those who want to return to their original units, give them five silver dollars and they can leave whenever they want."

"Platoon leader, you don't have to worry about this matter."

Zhang Yuntian chuckled and said, "These guys were mobilized as early as during dinner. There are 538 of them in total, and they are all willing to join our team!"

"You guys, are you quick enough?"

Lin Qiang smiled happily.

All 538 people have joined, and including the soldiers recruited before and after, the total strength of a row is now nearly people!

A fully armed team must have guns and cannons!

And it’s a howitzer from an artillery regiment!

In addition to infantry guns and mortars, with such a configuration, not to mention the brigade commander, even the division commander would not be able to get it!

Lin Qiang ordered again: "You have to work hard today and select the cavalry and artillerymen among these people."

"artillery?"

Hu Zi was surprised and asked, "Platoon Leader, are we going to form our own artillery battalion?"

"Yes and no."

Lin Qiang laughed and said, "We are not going to form an artillery battalion, but an artillery regiment!"

"Maybe you won't be able to get any of these five hundred people."

After hearing this, several people looked at each other in confusion. Wasn't all their quarrel just in vain?

At this moment, the communicator came running over, looking as if he was facing a great enemy, and said anxiously: "Report to the platoon leader, the regimental commander is here and is now going up the mountain."

"Who?"

Lin Qiang thought he had misheard and asked again, "You said you're coming?"

"Captain, the captain is here!"

The communicator replied: "We are on our way up the mountain now."

Zhang Yuntian and a few others joined during the development of the first platoon, and did not know much about Li Yunlong. They only knew that Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army was the person for whom the Japanese had a bounty of 100,000 silver dollars.

"I understand, you go ahead and do your work."

"Yes!"

After the communicator left, Lin Qiang said to the others, "Do as I just instructed."

"Huzi, Qiangzi, the two of you come with me to greet the leader."
