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

Ok?

When did you send someone to investigate?

Li Yunlong was taken aback at first.

But then, as if struck by lightning, I suddenly understood!

Who exactly is the enemy that Shen Wang is talking about?

They're just Japanese devils, aren't they?

In an instant, Li Yunlong was filled with awe!

"Mr. Shen! Say no more! Old Li understands!"

"I, Li Yunlong, on behalf of all the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, accept this gift!"

"Don't worry, I, Li Yunlong, will definitely not let this 'greeting gift' go to waste!"

"Every bullet will feed the Japanese devils! Every firecracker will explode in their den!"

After saying that, he snapped a standard military salute to Shen Wang.

Sun Desheng and the other cavalrymen also saluted Shen Wang along with Li Yunlong.

They also overheard Shen Wang and Li Yunlong's conversation.

Their respect for Shen Wang was no less than that for Li Yunlong!

Three whole truckloads of weapons, just given away like that!

Shen Wang slightly turned his body to the side and waved to the crowd:

"Don't make it so formal, it's just a little trinket!"

It's just 56 points of force and 40 points of fire.

He hasn't even brought out the real killer weapons yet: the 107 Firearm, the 59 Tank, the Fifth Master, and the Sixth Master!

. . .

After the little incident involving "a few hundred points," the atmosphere suddenly became much more harmonious.

Li Yunlong followed Shen Wang almost step by step, his weathered face full of smiles.

They addressed him as "Mr. Shen" with more familiarity than they would a brigade commander.

"Mr. Shen, I have already ordered the entire company to change their uniforms, and the soldiers are familiarizing themselves with their weapons."

80支56沖，10支56班，10具40火，刚好是一个连的数量。

The allocation was easy: one squad of 8 Type 56 rifles, one Type 56 squad rifle, and one Type 40 gun.

However, Li Yunlong wanted to try something different.

He brought together the 56th squad and the 40th mortar squad to form two machine gun squads and two rocket squads.

"Mr. Shen, do you think this is a good idea?" Li Yunlong asked, his face close to Shen's.

Shen Wang nodded: "I think it's a good idea. This is called concentrating resources to accomplish great things!"

To be fair, Li Yunlong was indeed full of clever ideas.

Concentrating heavy firepower can indeed play a decisive role in critical moments.

"Concentrating resources to accomplish major tasks? Mr. Shen is insightful! That's what I, Old Li, am thinking too!"

Upon receiving Shen Wang's approval, Li Yunlong beamed with joy.

"Mr. Shen, your generosity... is truly extraordinary."

"I've traveled all over the country and seen a lot of things, but someone like you... is truly a first for me."

Li Yunlong wanted to find out more about Shen Wang's background, but he didn't dare to be too blatant, fearing he might upset Shen Wang.

But he was just too curious!

The weapons Shen Wang took out were ones he had never even heard of, let alone seen!

Shen Wang naturally understood Li Yunlong's probing, but didn't say anything more.

They dismissed it with a simple "imported from the US".

Li Yunlong wisely stopped asking questions.

Who cares where it comes from, as long as it can fight the Japanese!

Just as the two were talking, a commotion came from outside the camp.

Then, Wei Heshang and several reconnaissance soldiers returned, escorting a puppet army officer with a bruised and swollen face, trembling all over.

"Commander! We've brought the prisoner back!"

Wei Heshang grinned and threw the puppet army officer on the ground like a broken sack.

The puppet army officer looked to be in his thirties, his face was ashen, his lips trembled incessantly, and a faint stench emanated from his crotch.

Li Yunlong's spirits lifted, and he temporarily suppressed his curiosity about Shen Wang's identity, his eyes instantly becoming sharp.

"Raise your head!" Li Yunlong shouted suddenly, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

The puppet army officer trembled in fear and barely managed to lift his head, almost scrambling to his feet.

"Sir...Eighth Route Army commander...Spare me...Spare me..."

"Spare me?" Li Yunlong said with a forced smile. "That depends on whether you know what's good for you. Tell me, what's your name, and which den of bastards do you work for?"

"My name is Wang Fugui... I am... I am a puppet soldier from Wang County... no, a collaborator... the deputy company commander of the 1st Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Regiment of the puppet army..."

Wang Fugui hurriedly gave instructions, fearing that if he was even a second late, he would lose his head.

"Oh? He's just a deputy company commander?" Li Yunlong raised an eyebrow.

"That's perfect. You should know the area around Wang County, the hideouts of the Japanese and their collaborators, right?"

Wang Fugui's eyes flickered, as if he still wanted to play a trick, and he stammered, "Sir... I... I'm just a freeloader, how would I know so much..."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wei the monk next to him kicked him in the butt, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt.

"You son of a bitch! You dare to play tricks on our commander? Looks like you haven't had enough of a beating! Want me to loosen your muscles a bit more?"

As he spoke, his large, fan-like hands clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

Wang Fugui was terrified and kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Sir, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!"

He dared not hide anything any longer, and poured out all the information he knew, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

As he spoke, he tremblingly gestured directions on the ground with his finger:

"The Beiling stronghold is located twenty miles north of the county seat. There is a small squad of Japanese soldiers, more than fifty men, and a platoon of puppet troops. They have two three-story pillboxes with light machine guns..."

"The Dongling stronghold is in the northeast. It's also a small squad of Japanese soldiers, with more puppet troops, a company... and three pillboxes..."

"The Black Ox Mountain stronghold, the terrain there is treacherous. There's a Japanese platoon and two puppet troops, but the pillboxes are well-built, there are four of them..."

"And... there's also the Xiaowangzhuang outpost, in the southwest, near the highway..."

"...and there are also Lijiazhuang, Zhangjiabao, Matiwa...there must be...dozens of strongholds, big and small..."

……

These so-called "strongholds" were small military fortresses built by the Japanese to control the occupied areas and blockade anti-Japanese forces.

Typically, a small infantry squad (about 50-80 Japanese soldiers) would form the core, supplemented by some puppet troops, to occupy key transportation routes or strategic points.

The strongholds were often equipped with three or four pillboxes and bunkers, and the outer perimeter was dug with trenches and barbed wire, forming a crossfire network.

Don't be fooled by the fact that a stronghold only has a hundred or so Japanese soldiers; with its strong fortifications and firepower, it's really hard to take down without heavy firepower.

But right now, what Li Yunlong and Shen Wang have in abundance is heavy firepower!

Even without the Type 99A, the Type 40 rifle would be enough to give the Japanese a run for their money!

After listening to Wang Fugui's explanation, Li Yunlong thought for a moment, then turned to look at Shen Wang:

"Mr. Shen, I think we should start by targeting this Xiaowangzhuang stronghold!"

"There's a small Japanese squad and a platoon of puppet troops stationed here, about the same strength as us. We used to have to go around them, but now... hehe!"

To everyone's surprise, Shen Wang did not immediately agree to Li Yunlong's suggestion; instead, he shook his head.

Li Yunlong was taken aback, then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, which one do you want to shoot?"

Which one?

Shen Wang smiled.

Every single one!

He turned to look at Li Yunlong and said calmly:

"Commander Li, how about pulling off something big?"
