You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

Back at our camp, it was a scorching July afternoon, and cicadas were chirping tirelessly in the treetops.

Lin Feng glanced at the calendar on the wall.

7 month 7 day.

At this moment, his heart was warm and his blood was boiling.

The Pingjin front was too far away, but the Songhu, which was about to become a battlefield, was right next door.

With Level II system access, the foundation of his envisioned future force, the infantry company-level unit, could be completely transformed.

Sitting at his desk, he took out a few sheets of paper, pulled out his pen, and began to write with great flourish.

Of course, all the characters written are simplified Chinese.

Previously, infantry companies formed by squads that could be exchanged with Level I system privileges lacked professional commanders, reconnaissance, logistics, and mortar firepower. Units of the same level did not have stronger firepower than the Japanese.

They could easily crush bandits, servants, and ronin, but they might find themselves in a fierce battle in Shanghai.

Therefore, the new organizational structure aims to maximize the firepower at the company level.

The new organization still uses 10 infantry squads as its core.

A squad of lieutenant-level commanders served as the core of the company headquarters. Fortunately, this squad had guards and clerks, and all sorts of miscellaneous tasks such as running errands and relaying orders were done by someone.

In terms of fire support, there are still 3 heavy machine gun squads and 3 mortar squads.

This 82mm mortar is far superior to the Japanese 50mm grenade launcher.

Even against the 70mm Type 92 infantry guns that only Japanese battalions possessed, the Shanghai-made Type 20 mortar, with its 2.8-kilometer range, was evenly matched.

In addition, Lin Feng also plans to add two double sniper teams to the company level.

Their mission consisted of only one thing: to take down Japanese junior officers, machine gunners, and grenade launcher operators.

Imagine two sharpshooters armed with two Mauser rifles with scopes, appearing and disappearing like ghosts on the front lines; they would absolutely terrify the Japanese.

In terms of logistical support, an additional three donkey-drawn wagons were added. Don't underestimate these donkeys; they carried the company's endurance, spare ammunition, heavy machine gun ammunition boxes and spare parts, and extremely heavy mortar shells.

Yes, the 82mm mortar is good, but when it's assigned to a company-level unit, the supply of ammunition needs to be considered.

These aren't the 50mm grenades from a grenade launcher, where one person can carry a dozen or so. Without donkeys pulling carts to supply ammunition, the mortars would run out of ammunition in no time.

Lin Feng looked at the chart on the paper and nodded in satisfaction.

The entire company has approximately 180 soldiers.

The weaponry consists of 10 light machine guns, 3 heavy machine guns, 3 82mm mortars, and 2 sniper rifles.

With that firepower density, let alone the German-equipped divisions of the National Revolutionary Army, even a company of infantry from a Japanese Class A division would be beaten to a pulp in a head-on confrontation.

As you accumulate more merit points, you can continue to upgrade your infantry squad. Whether you double the number of Czech-made bullets or replace them with MG34s, your firepower will continue to increase.

Next is the battalion-level organization.

Lin Feng's pen continued to flow.

Three such infantry companies form an infantry battalion.

The battalion headquarters and its subordinate units are no exception; their squads, also commanded by lieutenant-level officers, serve as the core of the battalion headquarters and are responsible for commanding the entire battalion.

In addition, the battalion headquarters is equipped with a radio communications squad to ensure smooth communication and say goodbye to the backward situation of relying on shouting and running for communication.

The battalion's reconnaissance platoon consisted of three eight-man reconnaissance squads. This was the eyes and ears of the entire battalion, as well as a sharp knife. The platoon had 21 submachine guns. When they charged, the Japanese soldiers with only Type 38 rifles couldn't withstand them at close range.

In addition, a battalion-level supply company was established, consisting of 12 donkey-drawn wagons, responsible for replenishing the battalion's ammunition and transporting provisions.

Considering the current small size of the organization, the entire security regiment can rely on its own system space for timely replenishment, plus three donkey carts at the company level for hauling goods, so this battalion-level supply company can be built later.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng added a special note to the paper:

During wartime, each battalion hired an additional 60 strong and able-bodied laborers to carry loads, cook, and transport the wounded.

After all, resources should be used wisely. The main financial resources should be invested in exchanging system units. For logistics, especially miscellaneous tasks, it is necessary to choose cheaper laborers rather than wasting excellent system soldiers or trained militia on logistics tasks.

"Okay, let's settle the accounts..."

Lin Feng began mental arithmetic.

The exchange cost of a newly formed unit is approximately: (10×8) + 25 + (3×10) + (3×8) + (2×6) + (3×2) = 80+25+30+16+12+6 = 177 exchange points.

Eight thousand eight hundred and fifty silver dollars—that's with the system in place. In reality, if you were to recruit soldiers, train them, and buy weapons, it would cost at least fifty or sixty thousand silver dollars. After all, a Type 20 82mm mortar or a Maxim heavy machine gun would cost 1500 silver dollars.

Three lines make 531 points.

Excluding the 12 donkey carts, the cost for the battalion headquarters and its directly subordinate units is: 25 + 10 + (3×18) + (12×2) = 89 points.

That adds up to exactly 620 points.

"Alright, all the gold and silver we just seized from the Wang family must be handed over to the system."

Lin Feng gave a wry smile:

"System, recharge!"

[Rechargeable items detected, calculating...]

Total redemption points earned: 1046 points

Current exchange points: 1089

The gold, silver, and dollars confiscated from the Wang family have all been fed to the system. Only jewelry, antiques, paintings, and a pile of cash that need to be converted into cash remain in the space.

Lin Feng waved his hand, his heroic spirit soaring to the heavens:

"System, troops have been massed!"

[Exchange for 30 basic Nationalist Army infantry squads, costing 240 points]

[Exchange for 9 basic Nationalist Army heavy machine gun squads, costing 90 points]

……

Current exchange points: 469

On the parade ground outside the command post, rows of neat formations appeared out of nowhere, instantly turning the once empty space into a crowded area.

There was no uproar, no riot.

The newly arrived soldiers wore brand-new uniforms, carried Hanyang rifles, and had Maxim guns and mortars placed in front of them on the open ground.

In addition, there was a squad of lieutenant commanders from the guard team, wearing leather boots, officer uniforms, pistol holsters at their waists, and standing beside them.

Behind the nearly 600-person queue was the most eye-catching army of donkeys.

A dozen or so black donkeys with shiny coats and robust builds were pulling a large cart with rubber wheels.

They snorted uneasily, pawing the ground with their hooves and making "hoo-hoo" sounds.

Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the magnificent team in front of him, feeling incredibly satisfied.

That's the thrill of mass-producing troops.

"Where's Dashan? Come here quickly." Lin Feng pointed to the drill ground. "Starting today, our security regiment has been expanded."

"This newly arrived battalion is officially designated as the Second Battalion of the Security Regiment."

In Lin Feng's heart, Zhao Dashan, as the first system soldier to appear before him in this world, naturally had a special feeling for him. Now, he was actually playing the role of the second-in-command of the security regiment.

"Yes, sir." Zhao Dashan stood at attention and saluted, then scratched his head, looking at the donkeys. "Commander, aren't there a bit too many donkeys?"

"What's wrong with the donkey?"

Lin Feng glared at him and walked up to a black donkey:

"These are our precious treasures. Zhejiang Province is mountainous, and the roads are difficult to travel. In places where trucks can't get in, we rely entirely on these donkeys. With these donkeys, our mortars and heavy machine guns can easily follow the infantry all over the mountains. This is called 'mountain donkey and horse transformation,' understand?"
