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

"What? We've arrived?"

Commander Lu jumped up from his chair, even faster than the brigade commander.

He had been putting on airs of a military region commander just moments before, but now he had no regard for any restraint and grabbed his hat to put it on his head.

"Hurry! Don't just stand there!"

As Commander Lu walked out, he urged, "Let's hurry and greet Mr. Shen! Don't keep him waiting!"

The brigade commander and Li Yunlong exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Commander Lu is even more anxious than they are.

The three men strode out of the command post, where a guard company had already assembled in the courtyard.

Commander Lu was the first to jump into the jeep, shouting to the driver, "Quick! Drive! To Liujiawa in the west of the city!"

The jeep suddenly sped off, followed by a line of military trucks, kicking up clouds of dust as it raced westward into the city.

On the train, Commander Lu looked out the window at the fields rushing past, his heart pounding with excitement.

He wanted to see what this legendary Mr. Shen really looked like.

We should also see just how many good things he brought this time.

Today, I'm begging for a few tanks and a few rocket launchers, no matter what!

. . .

Before long, the two groups met.

"Mr. Shen, I've missed Old Li so much."

Even from a great distance, you could hear Li Yunlong's signature loud voice.

He was the first to jump out of the car, rushing over with a big smile on his face.

"Haha, Commander Li, it's been a long time! You still look as energetic as ever!" Shen Wang quickly went up to him and shook his hand firmly.

"Commander, how have you been?"

"Mr. Shen, you must have had a long journey!"

The brigade commander also stepped forward with a smile, and several pairs of hands clasped tightly together, his travel-worn face full of the joy of a victorious reunion.

Commander Lu, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

He had seen grand scenes and captured supply convoys from the Japanese, but he had never seen such an exaggerated display.

The trucks were lined up neatly in a long row, stretching as far as the eye could see. The cargo beds were covered with dark green tarpaulins, bulging and full, indicating that they were loaded with all sorts of good stuff.

How many tons of supplies would that take?

He then looked at Shen Wang, and saw that the young man in front of him was dressed in a neat black combat uniform, with a tall and straight posture, handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a calm and powerful gaze, without any of the impetuousness of youth.

What a dashing and handsome young man!

Seeing is believing!

"Haha, this must be Mr. Shen!"

Commander Lu quickly stepped forward and laughed heartily, "Seeing is believing! I've long heard the General and the Brigade Commander say that Mr. Shen is a young hero, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!"

"This is Commander Lu of the Shandong Military Region," the brigade commander quickly introduced from the side.

Shen Wang recognized Commander Lu, of course.

He had seen Commander Lu in his textbooks many times.

I remember when I was in elementary school, there was a corridor with ten photos hanging on it, and one of them was of Commander Lu.

I never expected to see him in person today.

"Commander Lu, hello! I've long admired your name!"

Shen Wang quickly extended both hands and said respectfully, "I didn't expect you to come in person, you're too kind."

"Oh, Mr. Shen has come all the way to our eastern Shandong region, how could I not come to welcome him!"

Commander Lu grasped Shen Wang's hand and shook it vigorously: "Besides, I've long wanted to see Mr. Shen's demeanor."

As he spoke, he turned around and gestured, and the guard behind him quickly handed him a long paper tube.

"Mr. Shen, I heard that you enjoy calligraphy. I don't have much to give you, so this is a piece of calligraphy I wrote in my spare time. It's not very good, so please don't mind it."

Shen Wang took the paper tube, secretly amused.

Good grief, they're giving me a gift right off the bat, are they trying to use me as a farming tool?

However, he didn't mind, and with a smile, he opened the paper tube and unfolded the Xuan paper inside.

The words written on it are four powerful characters: "Serve the country with utmost loyalty".

The brushstrokes are vigorous and powerful, showing that the artist has put in a lot of hard work.

"Beautiful calligraphy! Truly beautiful calligraphy!"

Shen Wang sincerely praised, "Commander Lu's calligraphy is powerful and has the air of a great general! I will definitely treasure it."

He couldn't actually tell the quality of the writing, but that didn't matter.

The signature is important.

At this rate, he'll soon have collected all ten of the most famous calligraphic works.

Commander Lu laughed heartily at the praise, his face full of pride.

But after laughing, he looked at Shen Wang expectantly, rubbed his hands together, and his meaning was all too clear: I've given you my gift, now it's your turn to give me one in return.

Shen Wang couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this.

These bosses are so adorable.

For the sake of the army, they truly disregarded personal honor and dignity.

He turned around, pointed to the endless line of trucks behind him, and said with a smile, "Commander Lu, please take a look. I, Shen, have also prepared a gift for you."

Commander Lu's eyes lit up, and he quickly craned his neck to look behind him.

After looking for a long time, all I saw was an endless expanse of trucks.

He asked with some confusion, "Mr. Shen, forgive my poor eyesight, but I don't know where your gift is...?"

"It's right here."

Shen Wang said with a smile, "Commander Lu, didn't you see? These are all gifts from me to you, to the entire Ludong Military Region."

"What?"

Commander Lu was startled, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and pointed at the trucks, stammering as he asked:

"These...these...are all for our Ludong Military Region?"

"That's right!"

Shen Wang smiled and nodded.

They're all Eighth Route Army soldiers; we can't favor one over the other.

The food in southeastern Shanxi is so delicious, we can't let our comrades in Yimeng Mountain just watch and drool.

Commander Lu's heart suddenly raced, pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.

He stared blankly at the endless line of trucks.

So many supplies... are they all his?

Is this a dream?

He pinched himself hard, wincing in pain, before realizing this wasn't a dream.

"Mr. Shen... Mr. Shen..." Commander Lu's voice trembled. "May I ask... may I ask how much supplies you brought this time?"

"Not many."

Shen Wang casually remarked, "In terms of weaponry and equipment, we have the complete equipment of a Type 90 artillery brigade, the complete equipment of a Type 69 Class A infantry division, and the equipment of two Type 38 Nationalist Army infantry divisions."

Commander Lu blinked.

What Type 90 artillery brigade? Type 69 Class A division?

Seeing that Commander Lu didn't understand, Shen Wang changed to a simpler way of describing it.

"Simply put, it's a show of force with hundreds of armored vehicles, thousands of heavy artillery pieces, tens of thousands of submachine guns, and two standard divisions of the National Revolutionary Army."

Now, Commander Lu understood.

But then I was dumbfounded!

Hundreds of armored vehicles?

Thousands of heavy artillery pieces?

Tens of thousands of submachine guns?

I……

you……

Commander Lu was so shocked he couldn't speak!

Shen Wang continued, "Besides that, there's also..."

"besides?"

Commander Lu nearly jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on.

He looked at Shen Wang in disbelief.

Is this... Mr. Shen?
