You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

"Um?"

Li Yunlong was taken aback.

"Mr. Shen... have you heard of Old Li?"

Shen Wang chuckled: "I blew that son of a bitch Sakata to death with one shot, didn't I tell you, Commander Li?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong instantly beamed with joy, as if he had just eaten bee droppings.

"Haha, I never knew Old Li had such a reputation!"

Killing Sakata, the regimental commander, with a single shot was arguably Li Yunlong's most glorious moment to date.

That's the regimental commander, a colonel!

Throughout the entire Chinese battlefield, fewer than 100 Japanese colonels were killed.

Li Yunlong's ability to kill a head of cattle is definitely a highlight!

Now that Shen Wang had said that, it was like scratching an itch for Li Yunlong.

Old Li grinned widely: "Hey, hey, hey, it's nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about..."

"Compared to you, Mr. Li, I'm nothing!"

A sedan chair is carried by many people; who says Old Li can't speak?

Seeing Shen Wang and Li Yunlong chatting happily, Ding Zhijian and the others finally felt relieved.

However, just as these people breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Wang's words instantly put their minds on edge again.

"Commander Li, do you know... anywhere nearby where the Japanese have a stronghold?"

Ok?

Li Yunlong was stunned again.

What does that mean?

He glanced at Shen Wang, then at the 99A behind Shen Wang, and seemed to have grasped something.

Li Yunlong's expression turned serious: "I don't know where the Japanese have any strongholds nearby, but... I can find out!"

Pretty!

Shen Wang couldn't help but applaud Li Yunlong's answer.

Look at this level of awareness!

What's the difference between this and saying, "I don't know how, but I can learn"?

If it weren't for this person who never makes big mistakes but constantly makes small ones, how many more stars would there have been later?

Then, Shen Wang said meaningfully, "Commander Li, if you help me find the nearby Japanese stronghold, I'll send you some good stuff, how about it?"

At this moment, Li Yunlong's forthright spirit flared up, and he waved his hand:

"Mr. Shen, you're too kind. There's no need for you to give me anything. It's just a Japanese stronghold, give me half a day!"

To be honest, figuring out where the Japanese outposts were nearby wasn't difficult at all.

It's not that anyone can just ask, but by arresting a few traitors and interrogating them briefly, you can find out where the Japanese strongholds are nearby.

After saying that, Li Yunlong and Shen Wang looked at each other and smiled, as if they had met too late and appreciated each other's talents.

Li Yunlong thought, with such a terrifying weapon as the 99A, shouldn't we do something?

Shen Wang was thinking, with Li Yunlong's cavalry company, wouldn't they cause some trouble?

So the two hit it off immediately.

The three people standing nearby, including Ding Zhijian, were completely dumbfounded!

This is war! Is this some kind of child's play?

But in the end, none of the three said anything.

Along the way, Shen Wang has established absolute authority in the hearts of the three!

Moreover, fighting the Japanese wasn't something that violated any principles, so we just did it.

Sha Zhenjiang was even a little excited.

The feeling of the tracks crushing those beasts... wonderful.

. . .

A tacit understanding has been reached.

What followed was perfectly logical.

The two teams joined forces and temporarily set up camp in a relatively secluded area.

With Li Yunlong, a seasoned and battle-hardened regimental commander, Shen Wang didn't need to worry about a series of tedious tasks such as marching, setting up camp, and guarding sentry posts.

Old Li, with his booming voice, clearly and unambiguously relayed his orders:

"Sun Desheng! Take your men and lead the horses to that grove of trees behind the village, hide them well, and feed them! Send two clever men to keep watch on the main road from a distance!"

"Wei Heshang! Take a reconnaissance squad, change into civilian clothes, and go to the nearest village to gather information. The key is to find 'traitors' and find out which bastards around Wang County have Japanese strongholds, how many troops they have, and what their equipment is like!"

"The rest of you, in squads, shall construct simple defensive fortifications according to the terrain. Without orders, no fires shall be lit, and no loud noises shall be made!"

Once the order was given, the entire cavalry company sprang into action.

The soldiers performed their duties diligently, those on guard were well concealed, and those resting were quiet and quick; everything was in perfect order.

Shen Wang watched from the side and nodded in approval, thinking to himself, "As expected of the Independent Regiment, their orders are strictly followed and their efficiency is truly high."

After arranging everything, Li Yunlong rubbed his hands together, moved closer to Shen Wang, and looked at the 99A tank with his eyes still shining.

"Mr. Shen, your iron contraption... it's truly amazing! Ten Type 95 tanks... just thinking about it is fucking thrilling!"

Shen Wang smiled and said, "If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely let Commander Li have his fun!"

"Really?" Old Li's eyes lit up instantly.

"certainly!"

Shen Wang chatted casually with Li Yunlong, his gaze occasionally drifting to the busy soldiers around them.

These soldiers were in high spirits and disciplined, but their equipment was rather meager.

Apart from a few officers who were equipped with Mauser pistols, most soldiers used Hanyang rifles or captured Type 38 rifles, and ammunition was also scarce.

"What would it be like to have an elite cavalry company equipped with modern automatic firepower?" Shen Wang's mind started racing.

He had planned it all along: to sell the surplus weapons to the Eighth Route Army.

Exchange it for some antiques, jade, gold, or something similar.

He can't compromise himself in reality either; he's still single and living in a cramped rented room.

Strive when you should strive, and enjoy life when you should enjoy it.

Shen Wang's consciousness sank into the system store and began browsing.

All the weapons and supplies he had drawn could be exchanged for military merits.

Prices vary greatly depending on the type and age.

For example, a Type 24 rifle only requires 1 military merit point, but a Type 191 assault rifle requires a full 100 military merit points!

It's outrageous!

Shen Wang browsed the page while making calculations.

So far, he has drawn quite a few weapons.

比如38型国军步兵班、44型德式步兵班、44型美械步兵排、41型德械炮兵排、79型兔子炮兵连、20型兔子合成班…

To be honest, there are quite a few weapons available for exchange; basically, all the infantry weapons from World War II are available.

A Type 38 rifle? Even dogs wouldn't use that!

M4 carbine? Too delicate!

The Type 191 assault rifle? It's good, but too expensive!

PPSh-3? Powerful firepower but poor accuracy and short range...

In the end, Shen Wang's gaze settled on a simple but time-tested classic option—the Type 56 rifle family!

Especially the Type 56 assault rifle (a copy of the AK-47)!

This thing has a simple structure, is robust and durable, has tremendous power, is extremely reliable, and is almost unaffected by the environment!

The 7.62mm intermediate-power round was a formidable weapon in this era.

In close-quarters combat, our firepower was sufficient to completely suppress the Japanese light machine guns!

Moreover, the Type 56 is also suitable for cavalry.

Imagine, over a hundred elite cavalrymen, riding their warhorses, charging towards the Japanese positions like a whirlwind.

Once within firing range, there's no need to rein in the horse, aim, or pull the bolt; just raise the Type 56 assault rifle and start firing!

No need to frequently pull the bolt, no need to change the magazine after firing a few shots.

What looks like a cavalry company is actually 100 light machine guns pointed at your face!

Scary to think about!

"Yes! That's it!" Shen Wang thought to himself.

「而且，正好之前抽到过一个【79型兔子炮兵连】，里面就包含了80支56沖、10挺56班和10具40火！」

"Apart from the six 107mm guns, which are not needed for the time being, the rest can be given to the cavalry company!"

Actually, the 107 Fire can also be taken out, and it can be led by a warhorse.

Operating the 107mm gun requires a certain level of artillery knowledge, which a modern cavalry company probably wouldn't be able to handle.

In the end, Shen Wang decided to take the infantry weapons from the artillery company and hand them over to Li Yunlong's cavalry company.

Since I already spent 100 military merits to get it, I won't feel bad giving it away as a gift.

The cavalry company has more than 100 men, each equipped with a Type 56 assault rifle or a Type 40 pistol. If each of them kills a Japanese soldier, he can break even!

Eliminate both ends and double your profits!

This deal is a steal no matter how you look at it!

「系统，安排工具人，给我把那80支56沖、10挺56班和10具40火送来。」

【receive】

With everything arranged, Shen Wang felt much more at ease.

We're just waiting to see how many Japanese strongholds Li Yunlong can uncover.

. . .

About fifteen minutes later.

The soldiers on perimeter guard suddenly ran up to report:

"Reporting, Commander! A convoy has been spotted to the southeast!"

"Three trucks covered with tarpaulins, we couldn't see inside, were driving this way!"

"Judging by the vehicle type... it looks a bit like a Japanese troop carrier!"

What?

Japanese troop transport vehicles?

The atmosphere instantly became tense!

Li Yunlong's face darkened, and he was about to order preparations for battle when Shen Wang waved his hand:

"Commander Li, don't be nervous. They're my men, here to deliver supplies. Tell your men to let them through."

Li Yunlong was taken aback at first, then remembered that Ding Zhijian had mentioned that Shen Wang had arranged for someone to deliver tanks.

He gave Shen Wang a deep look, then ordered the soldiers on guard: "Let them in!"

"yes!"

Three old-fashioned trucks chugged up.

Li Yunlong finally couldn't contain his curiosity and leaned closer to Shen Wang, whispering, "Mr. Shen, what... what are these vehicles for? What's inside them?"

Shen Wang turned his head, smiled mysteriously at Li Yunlong, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Commander Li, didn't I tell you before? If you help me find out the Japanese strongholds, I'll give you some good stuff."

"This is a small gift I've prepared for you and your cavalry company... to mark our first meeting."
