Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

Throwing the gun to Xu Da, Xu Le yelled and cursed, and did not forget to spit on the Japanese corpse!

"Clean up the battlefield and gather all the spoils! Then withdraw from the battle. This place is not far from Fencheng, and the enemy reinforcements will be here soon!"

After issuing the order, a group of soldiers began to clean up the supplies, stripped off the outer clothes of all the devils, and piled up the bodies together.

The 666th Regiment also suffered some losses, with 10 people suffering minor or serious injuries, but no one died in battle, as they were all hit by the Japanese grenade launchers.

There were a total of 3 motorcycles and 8 trucks, 3 of which were used to capture the Japanese, and the remaining 5 were all full of weapons, cotton-padded clothes, quilts, canned flour, etc.

After a simple sorting, the soldiers of the two battalions each took some spoils of war and escorted the puppet prisoners to retreat first, while Xu Le and the guard company stayed behind.

"System, store all vehicles into the system space!"

Under the watchful eyes of the guards, all the movable and immovable vehicles disappeared from the spot.

.......

This was the first victory won by the 176th Division in two months. That night, Xu Le ordered the entire army to hold a banquet, took out half of the Japanese canned beef, and gave the remaining half to the surrounding people.

The people are not short of food, but they are short of meat. Many people can only eat meat a few times a year. The Japanese canned beef is a good thing.

After all these operations, the 176th Division gained a higher reputation among the people!

"Brothers, today's battle went well. Only 10 people were injured, and some of them are alive and well and drinking here!"

As these words came out, several soldiers with bandaged hands or heads blushed. They had come here specially for this meal!

Xu Le smiled slightly and said, "From now on, we will reward people based on their combat merits. We will reward them with silver dollars or equivalent items based on the number of enemies killed. The minimum reward for each Japanese soldier is 5 silver dollars, and there is no upper limit."

This sentence once again sparked heated discussions among the soldiers:

"I, did I hear you right? Five dollars for killing one? Even the National Guard isn't that generous!"

"That's right. The National Guard also wanted to give rewards to the soldiers, but they couldn't come up with the money. The most they could do was give the enemy's personal belongings as rewards."

"Great! I killed a Japanese soldier today. I wonder if it counts!"

"You only killed one, I killed two!"

"That's nothing. I only killed one person, but the one I killed was a squad leader, a sergeant, which is equivalent to our sergeant major!"

.....

Some are happy and some are worried. It is impossible for the army of more than 5000 people to gather together. Those who can gather in this yard are all selected outstanding soldiers.

Some participated in today's battle, and some did not.

Those who did not participate looked at others with red eyes, as if they wanted to eat them alive.

They were all children from poor families, and the salary given to them by the National Guard was only 10 yuan per month, not 10 ocean dollars, but national currency.

The dollar was the currency in circulation when the National Guard was first established. It was made of pure silver, so it had strong purchasing power.

In the past few years, the National Guard has issued national currency in an attempt to replace the circulation of the ocean.

At the beginning, the two were exchanged at a one-to-one ratio, but with the outbreak of war and the people's trust in the ocean, the purchasing power of the national currency dropped greatly.

Until now, the purchasing power of 10 yuan of national currency is not enough to one dollar.

Moreover, the National Guard only distributed their salaries after a 8% discount, so each soldier only received yuan, which was not enough for the soldiers to buy a few bowls of noodles.

Therefore, almost every troop is drawing empty salaries to maintain troop expenses and provide enjoyment for certain people.

Xu Le's father Xu Xiao was even bolder. While others reported 8 to 10 people, he only reported 6 to 10 people, and he ate a lot.

However, Xu Xiao did not embezzle all the military pay. Most of it was used to subsidize soldiers and for the construction of the Acropolis.

Even so, the monthly salary of the soldiers of the 177th Division was only 12 yuan, and its purchasing power was temporarily equal to that of one dollar.

As the Japanese support the puppet government banks and issue a large amount of counterfeit currency, the purchasing power of the national currency will gradually decline.

So when the soldiers heard that they could get a minimum of 5 dollars for killing a Japanese soldier, if anyone was unhappy, they would definitely be scared out of their wits and faint!

Seeing that the officers and soldiers had almost accepted it, Xu Le continued: "The Logistics Department will go back and forth to the Acropolis once a month. You can keep the money for yourself, or give it to the Logistics Department to take back home. You can also write a letter home and take it back!"

"Young Marshal is mighty!"

"Young Marshal is mighty!"

"Young Marshal is mighty!"

.....

All the brothers raised their wine bowls and shouted at Xu Le, their eyes were full of stars, and they wished they could kill a Japanese soldier on the spot to add to the fun!

"Bring him up!" Xu Le took a gulp of wine and then started drinking loudly.

Soon, several guards escorted three people into the crowd.

They were the puppet army battalion commander and two company commanders captured today. Another company commander was shot to death on the battlefield.

Xu Le actually hated traitors in his heart, but now the troops were deep behind enemy lines and were short of manpower in all aspects.

Moreover, if you think about it, many low-level puppet soldiers have no choice. They all follow their superiors. They have to work for whoever their superiors work for, otherwise they will lose their own lives.

Just like today the Japanese squadron leader killed several puppet soldiers. If you don’t obey, you will die. If you obey, you may have a chance to survive!

Therefore, Xu Le wanted to keep these more than 200 puppet soldiers temporarily. After some transformation, they could serve as engineers and do things like digging trenches, building houses, transporting supplies, etc.

But the officer rank cannot be spared, as they are the main culprits, and high military rank is an important way to gain military merit points.

"Brothers, these are the puppet soldiers working for the devils, we call them second devils. Now I will personally deal with them in front of everyone!"

Xu Le threw the bowl in his hand to the ground, pulled out the pistol from his waist and fired three shots in a row. The three puppet army officers struggled for a few times and then became motionless!

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a major and obtaining 5000 military merit points!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a lieutenant and obtaining 1000 military merit points!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a lieutenant and obtaining 1000 military merit points!"

Listening to the voice of the system in his mind, Xu Le smiled with satisfaction. 7000 military merit points were obtained so easily.

"System, open the personal panel!"
