Chapter 313: Advance into Ganling Province
Lu Tianhao cast a serious, inquiring look at the three old men and listened carefully to their stories about the specific conditions of the people under the rule of the Ma family army.
As time went by, tragic scenes seemed to unfold slowly before his eyes.
According to these old men, under the iron-fisted rule of the Ma family army, the people were like being in an endless dark abyss, living in dire straits and suffering.
The heavy taxes made people feel suffocated, and the slightest carelessness could lead to death.
Forced extortion and extortion were commonplace, and many families were torn apart and destroyed as a result.
Hearing these heart-wrenching descriptions, Lu Tianhao's anger was instantly ignited.
He knew very well that he could not allow innocent people to continue suffering!
So, he made up his mind without hesitation - to lead his troops into Ganling Province and rescue the people there from the clutches of the Ma family army.
From the three old men's sad and angry tones, it can be clearly felt that the people of Ganling Province hate the Ma family army to the core and detest them deeply.
Lu Tianhao firmly believed that as long as the national salvation army he led could reach Ganling Province, it would surely receive enthusiastic response and full support from the local people.
At that time, everyone will work together to fight against the brutal rule of the Ma family army.
Since he had made up his mind to take over Ganling Province, Lu Tianhao immediately and vigorously deployed the action plan.
He first ordered emergency rescue work for the people in the area currently under his control.
Food subsidies are distributed to the people in an orderly manner according to the number of people in each family to ensure that everyone can temporarily solve the problem of food and clothing.
At the same time, a large-scale recruitment campaign was launched in full swing.
Lu Tianhao hopes to recruit more people with lofty ideals to join the ranks of the National Salvation Army and strengthen the team through this method.
Ganling Province is vast, with an area of an astonishing 40 square kilometers!
Now the National Salvation Army only has two airborne brigades here, even though Ganling Province has been recovered.
How could this army of more than 1000 people control an area of more than 40 square kilometers?
At this moment, most of the National Salvation Army's forces were tied up on other battlefields, engaged in a fierce confrontation with the bandits and the multinational coalition forces.
Under such tense circumstances, it was impossible to draw sufficient troops from other places to reinforce this land.
So, how can we successfully take over the entire Ganling Province and firmly control this area of more than 40 square kilometers?
After careful consideration, the only feasible solution seemed to be to recruit soldiers locally and expand the army.
The place where the troops led by Lu Tianhao are located is even more special - this is a veritable "no man's land".
The people here have been living in dire straits for a long time, and their lives are extremely miserable.
Whenever warlords' troops set foot in this area, they would inevitably impose cruel and ruthless levies and extortions on innocent people.
Fortunately, the people have long been wary of such actions and have made preparations in advance.
If not for this, the people here would have died of hunger in the streets and in the wilderness long ago.
When the National Salvation Army extended a helping hand to them and sent them precious food aid, the people were all grateful and their eyes were filled with tears.
Because at this moment, they finally felt that they also had a family to rely on and a country to trust.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the recruitment work carried out by the National Salvation Army progressed more smoothly than expected.
After hearing the news, many eligible people came forward enthusiastically to sign up for the army.
They knew very well that the soldiers recruited by the National Salvation Army this time were to be used to fight against the Ma family army and recapture Ganling Province.
How could these young and middle-aged people who hated the Ma family army miss this opportunity?
In just one day, the number of people who came to register exceeded 20,000!
Such shocking figures fully demonstrate how much hatred the people have for the Ma family army.
As time went by, when the three-day recruitment campaign was successfully concluded, statistics showed that a total of more than 60,000 new recruits were recruited.
Faced with such a large number of troops, Lu Tianhao made a prompt decision to reorganize them.
He integrated these more than 60,000 new recruits with the two previous airborne brigades and formally formed a new and powerful military force - the First Northwest Army.
After careful consideration, Lu Tianhao appointed Zhang Po as the commander of the Northwest First Army.
This newly born Northwest First Army was composed of three divisions, each of which still followed the original established organizational scale and had approximately 100 officers and soldiers.
At the same time, there was no ambiguity in terms of weapons and equipment, and they were fully equipped in full accordance with the original division-level organization standards.
Not only does it have modern armored forces as the main force for attacking, it also has powerful artillery units to provide long-range support and efficient and reliable air defense forces to be responsible for air defense.
However, if this force is to truly have strong combat effectiveness, having sophisticated equipment alone is far from enough.
Therefore, Lu Tianhao invested a lot of valuable points resources without hesitation to train all the newly recruited soldiers.
More than 60,000 new recruits were trained into elite soldiers.
In addition, the veterans of the two airborne brigades were all disbanded and rationally distributed among the various units.
These veterans from the airborne brigades were able to take up important positions in units at all levels, effectively improving the command efficiency and coordinated combat capabilities of the entire army.
Although some soldiers in the airborne brigade currently only serve as squad leaders, this is just a short transition period.
As they advanced into Ganling Province, the territory they occupied continued to expand and the size of their troops grew.
These former airborne brigade soldiers will face unprecedented opportunities and challenges.
In time, each of them has the potential to succeed due to their own outstanding talents, fearless fighting spirit and outstanding leadership.
Gradually get promoted to high-level positions in the military, and may even become a senior general commanding thousands of troops!
At that time, they will shoulder greater responsibilities and missions and write their own glorious chapters.
In this major military operation to advance into Ganling Province, Lu Tianhao decided not to go to the front line to command the battle in person.
He entrusted this important task to Zhang Po, commander of the Northwest First Army.
Under the leadership of Zhang Po, the Northwest First Army demonstrated strong combat effectiveness and efficient execution.
The three divisions they belonged to were like three sharp arrows, scattered yet maintaining close contact and coordination.
Each division has clear tasks and goals, but can also flexibly adjust strategies according to the battlefield situation.
Following Zhang Po's order, the troops of the three divisions advanced in unison towards the depths of Ganling Province like a surging torrent.
Their steps were firm and powerful, and their morale was high, as if they were announcing to the world their determination to win.
