A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

"Now, those who are willing to stay and join the new group, if you are a real man, stand on the left immediately. If you are willing to leave, I will not force you."

Zheng Kaixuan's words made even Wang Chengzhu, Zhang Dabiao and others who were listening nearby feel their blood boiling.

They all gave Zheng Kaixuan a thumbs up.

As expected of a graduate of the Yunnan Army Academy, his speech is truly impressive.

"Sir, we are willing to join the new regiment!"

"Sir, we are willing to follow you and the regiment commander to fight the Japanese!"

As soon as Zheng Kaixuan finished speaking, a large number of puppet soldiers squatting on the ground stood up, and most of them stood on the left.

There were only a few people, about twenty or thirty, with red faces, who made excuses and stood on the right. Zheng Kaixuan asked Li Yunlong for instructions and did not make things difficult for them, and let them go home.

"Okay, from today on, we are all brothers and comrades. In our Eighth Route Army, it is not allowed to call someone "sir."

Just then, an Eighth Route Army soldier ran over.

"Reporting to the regiment commander, the puppet army warehouse has been inspected and a total of 400 rifles and 10 rounds of ammunition have been seized! Ten boxes of grenades, three Type light machine guns, and one Pheasant Neck heavy machine gun have been seized."

"We seized one hundred horses, one hundred bags of rice, two hundred bags of flour, ten boxes of canned goods, five boxes of liquor, and a number of other supplies..."

The so-called other supplies are naturally daily necessities and supplies such as military coats, bedding, coal, etc.

"Besides that, there's 5000 yuan in cash."

"What? There's still cash?"

When Li Yunlong heard that 5,000 yuan in cash had been seized, his eyes lit up and he grinned happily.

"Damn it, it seems this rolling hammer is still a fat sheep. Our new regiment has a strong foundation now."

"Shen Quan, you take Xizi and stay here. Kaixuan, Da Biao, Zhuzi, come and take a look with me."

Zheng Kaixuan and others followed Li Yunlong to the warehouse, and indeed saw a wide variety of weapons, ammunition and supplies displayed in the warehouse.

The gun used by the puppet army is somewhat similar to the Type 38 rifle, but a little shorter.

It was also a bolt-action rifle, but Zheng Kaixuan couldn't figure out what kind of gun it was for a moment.

"This is the Xinsi-style rifle, a replica of the Japanese Type 6.5 rifle. Its caliber is the same, mm. Most puppet army scouts use this type of rifle."

Zhang Dabiao seemed to see Zheng Kaixuan's doubts and reached out to pick up a Xinsi rifle.

"This gun isn't very accurate. Its only advantage is the low recoil, so it's usable."

Li Yunlong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Brother Da Biao, I didn't expect you to be such an expert with guns."

Zhang Dabiao chuckled and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I'm not an expert, I just have seen a lot of guns."

Wang Chengzhu’s goal was simple, he went straight for those boxes of liquor.

Li Yunlong picked up a silver dollar and took a bite of it.

"Damn it, it's the authentic stuff. Our group has a solid foundation."

Under the command of several people and the leadership of the veterans, the newly recruited soldiers also came to help. They quickly harnessed a dozen horse-drawn carriages and loaded all the weapons, ammunition and supplies onto the carriages.

"Captain, light up the barracks here. Otherwise, they will likely be occupied by the Japanese or bandits again."

Zheng Kaixuan suggested.

"Brother Kaixuan is really thoughtful. I ordered it."

Li Yunlong waved his hand, and the puppet army barracks quickly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Several people rode on horses, escorted the carriage, and brought more than 300 soldiers all the way to Wei Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang is a small village located at the foot of a mountain.

Originally there were about thirty households here, but when the Japanese came, people here either died or fled, and now it has basically become a deserted village.

This place became the temporary base of the new regiment.

The soldiers quickly cleaned up the few courtyards that were still habitable.

Shen Quan also arranged seven or eight soldiers who could cook to prepare lunch for everyone.

At this moment, Li Yunlong gathered everyone together.

"Brothers! Today is the grand opening of our new regiment. Since it's open, it can't be without a complete organization. Now I will confirm the new personnel appointments with everyone."

It seems that Li Yunlong had already thought of everything on the way to Wei Zhuang.

"Other regiments have three battalions, but our new regiment is not included in the organization, so I'm going to break the old rules and set up four battalions."

"Now, I declare."

"Appoint Zhang Dabiao as the commander of the first battalion!"

"Appoint Shen Quan as the commander of the Second Battalion!"

"Appoint Wang Chengzhu as the commander of the third battalion!"

"Appoint Zheng Kaixuan as the commander of the Fourth Battalion!"

"Zhang Dabiao thanks the leader for his trust!"

Zhang Dabiao stood up and saluted Li Yunlong.

Zheng Kaixuan, Shen Quan and Wang Chengzhu also quickly stood up, saluted Li Yunlong and spoke in unison.

"Thank you, leader!"

Li Yunlong returned the gifts one by one.

"As for personnel appointments below the battalion level, they will be decided by the battalion commanders. When the time comes, rewards will be given based on merit. Whoever has made outstanding contributions will be promoted to an official position."

Zheng Kaixuan was extremely excited.

When he was in the 772nd Regiment, he was promoted from a private to a squad leader, and then from a squad leader to a platoon leader, and he was extremely excited. Now that Li Yunlong has gone it alone, he has directly given him the position of battalion commander. Zheng Kaixuan is extremely excited.

At the same time, he secretly admired Li Yunlong in his heart.

The temporary absence of officers below the battalion level can better motivate the soldiers to fight bravely.

"No, Commander. Zhuzi is an expert in artillery and a veteran who has followed us all the way from the Northwest. I have no objection to him being the commander of the third battalion."

At this moment, Shen Quan felt a little unbalanced and raised his opinion directly in public.

"But how did Zhang Dabiao become the battalion commander right after he arrived? He's the first battalion commander at that. Zheng Kaixuan has only been here a few days? How did he become the battalion commander too?"

Zheng Kaixuan sighed.

He knew very well that Shen Quan was still brooding over his two previous disobediences and was still holding on to it.

Li Yunlong glared.

"Shen Quan, you little bastard, stop whining at me. What's Zhang Dabiao's claim to power? Just because he was a lieutenant and deputy company commander in the 27th Army, and because he fought at Marco Polo Bridge! His management experience is no less than yours, and besides, there's no particular order of rank, no matter which battalion commander you are."

"Why do you think Zheng Kaixuan is the battalion commander? Without the Kaixuan brothers, could our Third Battalion have fought such a successful ambush? Without the Kaixuan brothers' modified fully automatic and semi-automatic cannons, could we have wiped out the Rolling Hammer so smoothly?"

Shen Quan lowered his head after being scolded by Li Yunlong.

Zheng Kaixuan walked up to Shen Quan. He had been tolerating Shen Quan for a long time.

"Shen Quan, I know you have something against me. Whether I am worthy of being the commander of the Fourth Battalion or not, you will know it on the battlefield! When we fight the Japanese, our true strength will be revealed!"
