"Military Commander, my compatriots are very enthusiastic about joining the army! In just three days, we recruited more than 10,000 people in Myitkyina and surrounding areas. If we count the farther mountainous areas, this number can be doubled." Liu Shiquan smiled.

Most of the Chinese living in the mountainous areas of northern Myanmar are ethnic minorities in southwest China. Although their lives are hard, they have been working or hunting in the mountainous areas for many years, which makes them very physically good and undoubtedly excellent soldiers. With these 20,000 soldiers, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army can reorganize 5 infantry regiments. If there are 7 existing infantry regiments, there will be 12 infantry regiments. In the future, it will be completely enough to reorganize into 4 infantry divisions.

"Well, it seems that the Chinese in northern Myanmar have accepted us. This is good news! There are still more than one million Chinese in Myanmar. There are not many more people, but there is absolutely no small number of people. If they can get their support, recruiting 70,000 to 80,000 people will be completely free." Qin Shou was also very excited. With the support of these Chinese, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army will no longer be a rootless Ping, and can be effectively supplemented.

"However, regiment commander, we have no weapons to equip these troops. When we wiped out the 112th and 46th regiments of the Japanese, we seized some weapons. But at most we can arm one regiment. For the five regiments, it is a drop in the bucket."

Qin Shou nodded. The problem of weapons and equipment is indeed a major problem that plagued the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

"I know, just divide those weapons into these five regiments evenly. These five regiments can be trained first. There is no need for them to go to the battlefield for the time being. After we have obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment from the Americans, we will be able to arm them. At that time, we will no longer have to worry about not enough weapons and equipment." Qin Shou put all the hopes of the armed forces on the Americans.

"It's all that's all right now." Liu Shiquan nodded.

"By the way, have any of the defeated soldiers of the Expeditionary Force come to surrender to us?" Qin Shou asked.

They had such a big deal on the battlefield in northern Myanmar. Those defeated soldiers scattered in northern Myanmar are unlikely to know. If they could come to join the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, this would allow the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army to acquire more soldiers.

"There are, but there are not many now. Maybe it's because it's too far. Along the way, I have to worry about being chased by the Japanese and being able to come to Myitkyina safely, of course, there are not many people who have to worry about being chased by the Japanese.

"Well, that's the reason. However, now we still need to continue to recruit more troops. Whether it is the Chinese children or the defeated soldiers of the Expeditionary Force, we must absorb them as much as possible. This time, if Major Steven can succeed, we can get 110,000 equipment from the Americans. If there are not enough people to use those weapons, it would be a waste." Qin Shou suddenly had a trouble, that is, once he held the Americans' thighs, military equipment would be sent continuously. At that time, he should be worried that there are not enough people to use these equipment.

"Yes, commander." Liu Shiquan nodded. He also knew that after getting in touch with the Americans, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army would enter the fast lane of development.

After the Chinese children joined the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, they formed five infantry regiments and carried out training. The hard training made these Chinese children know that joining the army is not that simple. Not only did they have to go to battle and fight the Japanese, but their usual training was also very difficult. But even so, no one retreated.

Due to limited weapons, only a few people can touch real guns and gradually rotate. Others can only use wooden sticks instead, which makes many Chinese children yearn for their own weapons.

However, before obtaining military aid from the Americans, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army could not create weapons, so they could only find ways to appease them first.

The other major infantry regiments of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army were trained more harder. Especially the four infantry regiments of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th, which was even more so. They were equipped with advanced Japanese weapons and their combat effectiveness must be improved.

Everyone knows that after the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army conquered Myitkyina, the Japanese will never give up. At that time, they will face a more serious crisis. If they want to survive, there is only one way, that is, to defeat the Japanese in battle.

In order to exert the strongest combat effectiveness on the battlefield, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army were all training hard.

At the same time, the conscription of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army continued. Many Chinese children far from Myitkyina rushed to Myitkyina to join the army, especially the Gaoligong Mountain generation in eastern Myitkyina. There were many Chinese living there. After the Japanese occupied northern Myitkyina, their lives were also threatened. The rise of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army gave them an opportunity to protect themselves and their families by joining the army. Of course, they would not miss this opportunity.

The arrival of these Chinese people greatly increased the number of troops of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

By June 16, the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had already reorganized 15 regiments. Of course, the first 7 regiments were equipped with enough weapons, while the latter 8 regiments were only equipped with a small number of weapons and were still under training.

The expansion of the anti-Japanese and national salvation army day by day made Qin Shou very satisfied. He was more confident about the future. Once these troops were armed, they would have the strength to confront the Japanese army.

"Captain, if we continue like this, we will be able to recruit more than 100,000 people in no time." Liu Shiquan smiled.

"Well! Once you have soldiers, you will also have weapons soon. At that time, we won't have to be afraid of the Japanese."

"By the way, the commander. Recently, more and more defeated soldiers have come to surrender to us. Many of them have been dispersed in the battle and fled into the dense forest. After the Japanese were defeated by us, they learned about our news and then came to surrender to us. With the joining of these veterans, the new soldiers will soon form combat power."

"As long as this time, we can defeat the Japanese again and then obtain a large number of weapons from the Americans. We will be able to truly gain a foothold in Myanmar." Qin Shou said.

"Yes! Commander. However, this time, we may encounter the most difficult battle." Liu Shiquan was a little worried about the next battle situation.

"This is certain! We were not revealed before. However, after we successively wiped out the 112th and 46th registras of the Japanese army, it was impossible for the Japanese to have no reaction at all. Next, we will face a tough battle." Qin Shou sighed. He knew that this battle was inevitable.
