Fang Yu's vigorous development of machine gun battalions does not mean that he ignores the grassroots troops.
For example, in the infantry battalion under Fang Yu, basically every squad is equipped with a light machine gun.
However, because the Czech light machine gun has not yet been fully mass-produced, many infantry squads can only be equipped with one crooked handle.
In addition, each infantry squad is also equipped with a 98k Mauser sniper rifle to equip soldiers with better shooting abilities to focus on attacking the Japanese machine gunners, grenadiers and officers.
In addition, each infantry battalion is also equipped with a machine gun platoon and an artillery platoon, which are all designed to strengthen the firepower of the grassroots army.
Now that the expansion plan is in place, the next step is to conduct orderly recruitment activities according to this expansion plan.
Compared with the previous recruitments, it seems to be much smoother for Fang Yu's troops to recruit troops now.
Countless young people swarmed in!
Everyone knows that following Battalion Commander Fang can defeat the Japanese! And you can still eat well and stay warm...
If you really die fighting a little devil, that would be an infinite honor!
At that time, the family members will also be able to receive a generous pension, so that if the family members encounter any difficulties in the future, they can come to the Heiyunzhai base area to seek help.
Under such circumstances, who would not be willing to sacrifice his life for the country? Serve the country by joining the army?
The little devil has caused great harm to them all these years!
Who can have no blood feud with the little devil?
Who wouldn't want to kill a kid if given the chance?
Putting this kind of national sentiment and righteousness aside, conscription... will only get endless calls!
Three days.
The conscription lasted only three days and was over.
"All collected?"
There was a hint of surprise in Fang Yu's tone.
The person in charge of the overall recruitment work is Wu Anguo. He has been running back and forth in the past few days, and now he looks much darker and thinner.
After all, you have to travel back and forth, which is not an easy task.
"It's all done..."
"Commander, there are even many outstanding young people who want to join our team, but they can only reluctantly refuse."
"But Commander, I have recorded all these young men who still meet the conditions. If we need to expand the recruitment in the future, we can directly notify them to join our team..."
"This is equivalent to making these young men into our reserve force, ready to be called upon whenever needed!"
Wu Anguo chuckled and said quickly.
"This is a good idea..."
"They can be given some basic training properly..."
"For example, we organize training together every ten days or half a month."
"Incorporate them into the militia..."
"Give them simple guns, such as 38-year-old guns."
"Putting so many 38 big guns in the warehouse is just a waste of time. It's better to distribute weapons to these young men..."
"But the prerequisite is trustworthiness."
"These weapons are issued to them so that they can protect themselves and their families. Anyone who dares to use these guns to commit murder, or against his own compatriots, will be dealt with directly by military law!"
"For these militiamen who are willing to participate in training, some material and silver dollar subsidies can be appropriately continued..."
"An Guo, you are responsible for arranging this matter."
"Just come up with specific rules and regulations."
"By the way, Anguo, there is one more thing. Some soldiers who were injured and disabled while fighting the Japanese were unwilling to leave the army, so they were assigned to our logistics department and became logistics personnel!"
"As we have more and more tanks, aircraft, artillery and other equipment, the logistical support we need to provide is critical."
“They can be taught some basic skills in repairing tanks, planes, artillery, guns, etc.”
"We can also arrange for them to carry out some anti-war propaganda in the villages around us, etc..."
“All in all, we can’t fall behind in terms of logistics!”
Fang Yu groaned and then said.
Wu Anguo always kept a small notebook to record.
For some important things, keep comprehensive records.
A good memory is worse than a bad pen.
"Okay Commander."
"I see."
"I will seize the time to implement what you said."
"It shouldn't take long for these to be standardized."
Wu Anguo said quickly.
Looking at Wu Anguo's busy figure and increasingly thin face, Fang Yu couldn't help but reach out and pat his shoulder.
"An Guo, thank you for your hard work these days."
"You and Wei Guo are really my right-hand men!"
"Weiguo will help me fully train the troops."
"You help me deal with all aspects of things..."
"For the development of our army, you and Wei Guo are indispensable!"
Fang Yu rarely praised others, but this moment really touched his heartstrings.
For the sake of the anti-war plan, every Xia countryman is working hard!
They have their own dreams and hopes!
Their goals are unified as never before! That's fighting the devil!
The devil will never be extinguished, and the fighting spirit will never be subdued!
"Commander! It's you who are really doing the hard work!"
"Being able to follow you to fight the Japanese is my greatest honor in Wu Anguo's life!"
"Thank you to the commander for not giving up, not caring about my status as a prisoner of war, teaching me carefully, and entrusting me with important responsibilities."
"Anguo will be able to meet the commander in this life, which is enough to comfort him for the rest of his life!"
"As long as the commander still needs Anguo, Anguo is willing to continue to serve in this life!"
As Wu Anguo spoke, a determined and stubborn look appeared on his face.
Everything... is the purest words.
Fang Yu nodded silently, exchanging sincerity for each other!
"Convene a military meeting!"
"Notify all officers above the company level to come and participate."
Fang Yu gave the order, and the military meeting began immediately.
…
"You should also know the purpose of my convening a military meeting this time."
"In the past few days, we have been conducting recruitment and various militarized training."
"Now let me report the current specific establishment of the entire army."
