Warlords: Rise of the System

Fang Yunpeng said in shock, "You said you are a militia?"

Zhao Changshuan continued, "In fact, among the more than 300 of us, only about 100 belong to the regular militia, and the rest are non-staff members."

The adjutant asked, "What non-staff member?"

Guo Erzhuang spoke up, "Marshal Lu of our National Salvation Army has given each of our villages a quota of one platoon of regular militia.

Then, based on the different situations of each village, we were allowed to recruit our own non-staff militia members.

We, the regular militia members, received a monthly salary of two silver dollars, while these non-regular militia members only received one silver dollar.

However, the military uniforms and daily necessities issued to us were the same.

The weapons and equipment are far inferior to those of regular troops.

Also, if a member dies, the pensions for us militia members and non-staff militia members are the same as those for regular troops.”

The adjutant couldn't help but ask, "How much are the salaries of the regular troops? How much are the pensions for the soldiers who died? Do you know?"

Wang Dazhu said, "Of course we know that the salary of an ordinary soldier in the regular army is five silver dollars a month, and the salary of officers varies depending on their positions.

The pension for a soldier who died was 200 silver dollars, and the pension for an officer who died varied depending on his position.

A militia platoon leader like me only makes ten silver dollars a month."

Fang Yunpeng and a group of generals couldn't help but gasp.

The militia organizations of the National Salvation Army receive the same salary and benefits as the regular troops, and it can even be said that they are even higher.

Look at the weapons and equipment of these militia organizations, they are even better equipped than their elite troops.

This is actually just the militia of the National Salvation Army. How can the regular military situation of their so-called warlord forces be compared?

The adjutant then asked, "Do you know what kind of weapons and equipment your regular troops have?"

Wang Dazhu shook his head and pointed at Guo Erzhuang and said, "He has been to the division headquarters before, so he should know something about it."

Guo Erzhuang smiled and said, "Even if I haven't been to the division headquarters, I know it.

The Third Armored Division under our command has three armored regiments, more than 600 tanks and armored vehicles, and even more transport vehicles.

There is also a motorized infantry regiment, two mechanized infantry regiments, and reportedly a supply battalion, an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and a heavy artillery battalion.

Anyway, the soldiers of the 3rd Armored Division did not need to walk when marching, they all marched in transport vehicles.

I heard from a guy in my village about the weapons and equipment of the regular army.

A platoon of an infantry regiment has about six light machine guns and three heavy machine guns. They are not equipped with grenade launchers, but mortars.

The number of mortars to be equipped is at least three.

All the guns they are equipped with are semi-automatic rifles, unlike us, which have both semi-automatic rifles and manual rifles.

However, the bullets, grenades, and hand grenades they are equipped with are the same as ours, and each person can take as much as he can."

Fang Yunpeng and a group of generals didn't care about anything else, but when they learned that the militia's ammunition could be taken at will, they became upset.

Fang Yunpeng asked, "How much ammunition do your team members usually have?"

Wang Dazhu smiled, "When we went to the arsenal to collect ammunition.

The big bosses under my command filled all their pockets with bullets and were covered with grenades and hand grenades.

There were also many team members holding a bomb in each hand.

After we returned to the village and took inventory, we found that each person had brought back more than 500 rounds of bullets.

Each person brought back more than a dozen hand grenades and hundreds of explosive packs.

Unfortunately, there were no shells for the grenade launcher in the arsenal.

After questioning, we learned that all these grenade launchers were confiscated from bandits.

After the artillery shells distributed to us are used up, we will need to seize them from the bandits ourselves.

However, I heard from the quartermaster that once a war breaks out and the grenade launcher shells are used up, we can go and get mortars.

Each of our militia platoons can receive three 60mm or larger mortars, but as for the shells, are we allowed to take as much as we want?"

Fang Yunpeng and his generals were already numb. The weapons and equipment of the National Salvation Army's militia were so advanced.

Ammunition, grenades and hand grenades can be taken at will. Which warlord's army dares to distribute weapons and ammunition like this?

In addition to being shocked, Fang Yunpeng and a group of generals were filled with a sense of loss.

Our own army usually only equips its soldiers with five to ten rounds of bullets.

This time, because of the fierce attack by the bandits, more bullets were issued. On average, each soldier was only issued 20 to 30 bullets.

In such a fierce offensive and defensive battle, twenty or thirty bullets will soon be used up.

It was also because of this that a regiment of soldiers on Hill 373 engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the bandits.

The generals were indeed very depressed. The regular army of the warlord forces was not as good as the militia of the National Salvation Army. How could they not be disappointed?

The adjutant then asked, "How is the combat effectiveness of your regular army? Do you know?"

The adjutant's question gave Fang Yunpeng and a group of generals a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps the National Salvation Army relies on sophisticated weapons and equipment, and their individual combat capabilities may not be that strong.

Guo Erzhuang continued, "How strong are the soldiers of the regular army?

You may not know, but us three platoon leaders know it very well.

The Ergaizi I mentioned earlier was an ordinary soldier in the mechanized infantry regiment of the 3rd Armored Division.

The last time he came back to the village, the three of us platoon leaders competed with him.

The three of us platoon leaders went on the field at the same time, and Ergaizi knocked us all down with just a few moves.

The three of us who are capable of being platoon leaders can still deal with one or two team members.

We didn't expect that the three of us not only failed to knock down Ergaizi, but also let him knock us down easily.

I asked Ergaizi privately, and he said that in regular troops, their soldiers are also divided into levels.

Ergaizi said that even the worst soldiers in our regular troops of the National Salvation Army have now reached the level of elite soldiers.

He said that elite soldiers' combat capabilities are one or two times stronger than those of ordinary soldiers.

Even ordinary soldiers in the regular army can take down one or two platoon leaders like us.

There are several levels above the elite soldiers, but Ergaizi didn't tell me the details.

He only told me that all officers in the regular army must at least reach the level of special forces.

Ergaizi only told me that the most powerful fighter in the regular army is the King of Soldiers.

For militia platoon leaders like us, any random soldier can easily defeat more than a dozen of us.

Ergaizi said that the guard regiment protecting our Marshal has one or two thousand people, and all of them are top soldiers.

If anyone wants to attack our Marshal, without tens of thousands of troops, it would be impossible for him to reach us."

Fang Yunpeng and his generals were completely shocked.

With such a guard force, coupled with powerful and sophisticated weapons and equipment, what kind of troops can defeat them?
