    She was almost certain of her future destiny. She would marry the child of a high-ranking general at a time when wars were not so frequent.  This kind of political marriage abounds. For example, the current leaders of the Kuomintang, the Chiang family and the Song family, are a kind of political marriage.

    As for what Dai Caixi thinks, it doesn't matter.  In the eyes of the family elders, she is just a bargaining chip that can be exchanged for benefits.  The family will use her to stabilize their political position in the Kuomintang.

    When Dai Caixi thought of this, she suddenly felt sad.

    She has been pampered and pampered since she was a child. She seems to be free and can get whatever she wants.  In fact, she is just a puppet being manipulated. Whatever sacrifices the family wants her to make, she must make corresponding sacrifices.

    Dai Caixi envied Xia Yang and respected Xia Yang.

    Sima Qian said in "Historical Records" that "a great chivalrous person serves the country and his family!" She felt that Xia Yang was the "great chivalrous person" written in the book

    Xia Yang can lead his men to break through the siege and save these refugees who are struggling on the verge of death.  Even in this troubled world, what Xia Yang did was limited, but it was still extraordinary.  Compared to Xia Yang, Dai Caixi really felt that she was useless.

    After driving these ox carts and horse-drawn carriages into the camp, the soldiers began to unload equipment and supplies.

    This time Xia Yang got a lot of good things from the logistics department.

    In addition to the equipment that originally belonged to them, he also enthusiastically helped Zhang Weizhi clean up his inventory and moved some good equipment from the warehouse.

    These equipment include five Maxim heavy machine guns, which can basically ensure that each battalion is allocated one, and the other can be used as mobile support.  It's just that these Maxim machine guns are water-cooled and very bulky.  If it is an advanced air-cooled type, it will be much lighter.

    But in this day and age, having a few heavy machine guns is already very good.  The fire suppression effect that this thing can provide on the battlefield cannot be replaced by a few automatic rifles that Xia Yang bought from the Huangsha Baizhan System.

    In the Huangsha Hundred Battles system, there are also heavy weapons.  But Xia Yang can't buy it now because he hasn't obtained enough permissions yet.

    In addition to these five Maxims, there are also several Czech light machine guns and more than a dozen flower traps.  As for the medium and formal rifles, let's not go into details. Several hundred medium and formal rifles are enough to equip a regiment under Xia Yang.

    But what disappointed Xia Yang was that they did not find mortars and grenade launchers in the warehouse.  ,

    There is no way around this. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese army generally lacked heavy weapons.  At that time, many military factories in China could defend against some light weapons and even the Maxim heavy machine gun.  But it is difficult to produce aircraft cannons, and there are not even many mortars and grenade launchers.

    It is said that the most elite German weapon divisions of the Kuomintang are equipped with mortars and grenade launchers. At the division level, there are also armored units and artillery regiments.  Xia Yang drooled when he thought of those things.  I thought that in this era, if I had a German armored group under my command, wouldn't it be better to sweep away the Japanese invaders and drive them all to the Pacific Ocean to feed the fish?

    However, this idea is not realistic, because at that time, throughout China, there were only a few German weapon divisions equipped by the Kuomintang.  Moreover, in the subsequent Songhu battlefield, these well-equipped and well-trained German weapon masters also fought hard.

    In addition to these weapons and equipment, Xia Yang also received a lot of salary.  He distributed all these salaries to the soldiers, and then kept part of them as army funds.

    These veterans of the national army have basically never received full pay in the army.  Because at that time, it was already an unspoken rule for high-level military officials to withhold military pay.

    If a soldier can receive half of his monthly salary, then his commander can be said to be incorruptible.

    But Xia Yang paid them enough and didn't deduct a penny from them.  Why aren't these soldiers grateful to Xia Yang?  The loyalty of the veterans who originally followed Xia Yang and broke out from the Japanese encirclement group naturally did not need to be considered too much.  However, those soldiers who later joined the Fourth Regiment were the defeated troops that Xia Yang forcibly pulled into the Fourth Regiment.

    What does the loyalty of this group of people depend on? Does it depend on Xia Yang pouring chicken soup for their souls?  Tell them that those who serve as soldiers are loyal to their generals, and those who serve as generals are loyal to their country?  Xia Yang didn't think his soldiers were so enlightened.

    Compared with slogans such as loyalty to the party and the country, resisting Japan and saving the country.  Only by giving these soldiers tangible benefits will they follow Xia Yang wholeheartedly.

    For example, takeWhen John led the Rhine Corps across the Alps, why was he so invincible in Italy?  The soldiers all worked hard and fought to the death!

    It is because before entering Italy, Napoleon promised his soldiers.  As long as a city is captured, the soldiers under his command are allowed to loot the property. As long as they grab it, it belongs to them.  With this promise, the soldiers of the Rhine Corps are still going to work hard!  They will kill anyone who stands in their way of making a fortune.

    Therefore, Xia Yang did not deduct half of the pay from these soldiers. Some of them had meritorious service and even received more pay.  If nothing else, at least this can ensure the loyalty of these soldiers to themselves to a large extent.  After all, which soldier doesn't like an officer who pays him a lot of money?

    They are all a bunch of bitter people, and the attraction of the white-flowered ocean to them far exceeds those so-called lofty beliefs.

    He Changxing was also very surprised and looked at Xia Yang with admiration.

    He realized that the group in front of him was different from the officers he had met before.  This commander will not deduct the soldiers' food and salary, and will do everything possible to obtain weapons, equipment, food and materials for his soldiers.

    This leader even cares about the refugees. In this era, he is still sympathizing with these refugees even though he is still reluctant to do so.

    He Changxing realized that Xia Yang was the kind of person with a sincere heart.  This man has never forgotten what he should do as a soldier.

    He has been in the army for such a long time. He has seen brave and resourceful people, and he has also seen smooth and sophisticated people. However, he has seen very few sincere people like Xia Yang.  This made He Changxing feel that he was with the right person this time.  No matter what, as long as he follows the man in front of him, he can realize his value as a soldier.

    Make great achievements or die in battle!

    Seeing that the soldiers below who had received their pay were all smiling, Xia Yang smiled and said to Hu San next to him: "Hu San, let the brothers disperse! Ask Liu Fudong, He Changxing, and Wei Xing to come to my room.  , I want to show you something." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
