Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Soon, Chu Feng and Li Mingqiang arrived at the place where the oil was discovered.

At this time, the nodding machine has been pulled over, and with the efforts of technicians and oil workers, installation and debugging work is underway.

"Brigade Commander, Director!"

Seeing Chu Feng and Li Mingqiang getting out of the car, the person in charge present hurried forward to greet them.

"how is the situation?"

Looking at the busy crowd, Chu Feng and Li Mingqiang did not go forward to disturb everyone's work, but asked.

"Commander, very good. After a simple exploration, we found that this oil field is very easy to exploit."

"We were able to discover it because some locals said something was coming up from underground. They weren't sure what it was, but they knew it could be lit with fire."

"It just so happened that several of our professors and students from Ohara heard about it and came to check it out, and they discovered oil."

The person in charge was so excited, saying, "According to the estimates of our experts and technicians, this should be a rich oil field. It can flow up on its own, and it is not difficult to mine."

"We're preparing to drill the first well and see how much oil gushes out." At this point, the person in charge glanced at Chu Feng and said, "Commander, once oil production starts, it won't stop. Our refinery needs to speed up its progress."

"no problem!"

Upon hearing this reason, Chu Feng waved his hand without hesitation and said, "I plan to set up an oil company, which will be fully responsible for mining and refining. I will provide the people and money if you ask for them."

Chu Feng, who holds tens of millions of funds in his hands, is very wealthy and his demeanor expresses the boldness of a man who is not short of money.

After a quick inspection, Chu Feng realized he couldn't help. He could only tell the captain who came over hurriedly, "Liu Yiyun, I'll leave the safety here to you."

"Besides ensuring safety, we also have to consider the safety of the workers and technicians, as well as logistical support. We can't let anyone go hungry or have a bad rest. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you accountable!"

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Liu Yiyun immediately saluted and said loudly: "Brigade Commander, don't worry, the regiment will complete the mission!"

After returning to Yuan County, Chu Feng, Wang Tiezhu, Li Mingqiang and Ge Dayong gathered together for a meeting.

"Brigade Commander, after this period of recruitment, our manpower gap has been filled. However, if they want to join the main force, these new recruits still need more than three months of training."

"At the same time, Uncle Zhao Wu sent a telegram saying that our Sichuan Army veterans have joined him and will be back in a week at most."

"Secondly, news came from the Sichuan Army that he still wants to make a deal with us," Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu reported.

"no problem!"

Chu Feng understood what was going on after hearing Wang Tiezhu's words. He said, "We now have new recruits. The new and old recruits combined are almost 30,000 strong."

"But now we have more than just Yuan County. We also have six other counties in the Jincha Special District. My idea is that the main force needs to be developed. We also need to establish a security regiment in each of the seven county towns."

"Furthermore, we now have arsenals, textile mills, and the rapidly developing oil refineries. Each of these places needs to be equipped with guard troops."

"It is precisely when we are short of manpower, especially combat-ready ones, that the Sichuan Army has such an idea, and we can be considered to have hit it off."

"You will be responsible for the details. We have a lot of weapons and equipment, especially those captured from the Japanese. We don't plan to equip these ourselves."

"We can definitely take out the unplanned weapons and equipment and exchange them with the Sichuan Army." Having said this, Chu Feng looked at Li Mingqiang and said, "Of course, it's not just the Sichuan Army. The Eighth Route Army can also exchange them if they have ideas."

Upon hearing this, Li Mingqiang also showed an interested expression, nodded, and said, "Brigade Commander, I will send a telegram to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to inform the leaders of this matter."

"Ok!"

Chu Feng nodded when he heard this, turned to look at Ge Dayong and Wang Tiezhu, and said, "I heard that we have recruited a group of good seedlings?"

"You two should focus on allocating troops. As for the Jincha Special District's security forces, establish the Yuan County Security Regiment first. There's no rush for the other six regiments."

"I have only one request, and that is to ensure that the combat effectiveness of our Independent 1st Brigade is not affected."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong nodded: "Yes, Brigade Commander!"

After the meeting, Chu Feng started to get busy again.

As his business grew bigger, he began to feel the pressure.

Although the 1st Independent Brigade has more than 30,000 people, he still feels that it is not enough. In addition, there are not many weapons and equipment in stock, and he wants to obtain more weapons and equipment to solve the personnel problem.

He felt that he could take the initiative and fight a few more battles, such as taking back the neighboring Guangxian and Weixian, and by the way, fighting the Japanese in Yungang.

Moreover, the puppet Mongolian army in the north is not honest either. He has not fought with these puppet troops yet, so he can send planes to give them a little shock.

The worst that can happen is a war, so let's start with some small battles to train the troops and get system rewards.

Three days later!

Chu Feng finalized a combat plan. He first ordered the flying brigade to use 20 PO-2 trainer aircraft, a squadron of La-7 fighters, and 5 B-17 bombers to launch an air strike on the puppet Mongolian army and the Japanese devils in Yungang City.

In this battle, more than 2000 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out at the cost of more than ten tons of explosives, aerial bombs and 30 napalm bombs.

“叮咚！恭喜宿主消灭2341名日伪军，系统奖励如下：三八式步枪*5000支！九二式重机枪*150挺！歪把子轻机枪*300挺！中级苏械步兵团*1支！大洋*200万！白面*20万斤！”

The arrival of this batch of weapons and equipment and an intermediate Soviet-equipped infantry regiment allowed Chu Feng to breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, three thousand veteran Sichuan Army soldiers!

Oh no, it was not three thousand Sichuan Army veterans, but six thousand Sichuan Army veterans, plus 3000 Eighth Route Army veterans.

A systematic infantry regiment, plus 9,000 veterans, made Chu Feng's troops expand to 45,000 people in an instant. Excluding 15,000 new recruits, the remaining 30,000 were all veterans.

We had originally planned to capture Guangxian and Weixian, but the arrival of these veterans temporarily stopped us.

The entire Yuan County turned into a large military camp. Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong were extremely busy, and finally Chu Feng also joined in.

It took a full ten days to get the troops in order.

Today, the entire 1st Independent Brigade is composed of three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, an air defense regiment, a logistics regiment, a motor vehicle maintenance regiment, an engineering battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a guard battalion, a chemical defense battalion, a communications company, and a regimental-level flight base.

The entire brigade consists of eight regiments, four battalions and one company, totaling 36,000 people.

In addition to the Independent 1st Brigade, Chu Feng divided the newly acquired intermediate Soviet-equipped infantry regiment into four, three of which were guard battalions responsible for the arsenal, refinery and oil mine.

The three guard battalions are centered around the Soviet-equipped infantry regiment, with each battalion consisting of 200 Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers, plus experienced comrades from the security department supported by the Eighth Route Army.

Each battalion consists of 700 people and is a reinforced battalion equipped with mortars, light and heavy machine guns, etc.

The last one was a company, which combined 800 new recruits and 500 Eighth Route Army veterans to form the Yuanxian Security Regiment, with a total of 1900 people.

Responsible for the public security and police work in Yuan County, as well as the security of the textile factory.

At this point, including the security forces and the main force, Chu Feng's troops have reached a terrifying scale of 4 people.

Looking at the final reorganization results, Chu Feng smiled slightly: "It's normal for a lieutenant general like me to have 40,000 troops!"
