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

After seeing off the German representatives, one hundred tons of gold were safely deposited into their account.

As usual, another fifty tons were distributed to the Eighth Route Army.

Only through such mutually beneficial cooperation can we go the distance.

But when Commander Lu saw the fifty tons of gold neatly stacked up, he froze on the spot, his mind reeling.

Last time, the headquarters gritted its teeth and allocated five tons of gold to support the construction of the shipyard in Jiaodong City.

Commander Lu was so excited about those five tons that he couldn't sleep all night.

Lying in bed, he tossed and turned, thinking about how much grain five tons of gold could buy, how much ammunition it could exchange for, and how many new quilts it could provide for the soldiers.

And now, a full fifty tons of gold are placed in front of him!

It's not that he's never seen money before.

Having fought all the way from the Red Army period, they have captured Japanese military scrip, confiscated the property of traitors, and handled countless silver dollars.

The problem is, they didn't do anything.

Mr. Shen negotiated the business and provided the goods. They only helped with loading and unloading. What right do they have to be allocated fifty tons of gold?

Commander Lu felt a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Shen, this...this is too much! We haven't done anything, what have we done to deserve this..."

"Commander Lu."

Shen Wang waved his hand, interrupting him: "This is not for you, it's for the entire Eighth Route Army. You may need to consult headquarters about the specific distribution."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Commander Lu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he had done and slapped himself on the forehead.

He couldn't make the decision to keep those fifty tons of gold.

"I'll go and ask headquarters right away!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned and walked out in a hurry.

"Go and come back quickly." Shen Wang added with a smile, "I have something good for you."

"nice one?"

Commander Lu suddenly stopped, then quickened his pace, his back view exuding an impatient energy.

Every single "good stuff" Mr. Shen talks about is an extraordinary treasure.

He felt like he was being scratched by a cat, wishing he could finish sending the telegram and rush back immediately.

After Commander Lu left, Shen Wang took out a thick stack of neatly bound booklets from his suitcase.

It's less of a book and more of a set of standardized teaching materials.

Infantry Tactical Training Outline, Armored Forces Operation and Coordination Training Outline, Aviation Forces Flight and Tactical Training Outline, Artillery Firing and Correction Training Outline, Air Defense Forces Combat Training Outline, Special Forces Reconnaissance and Infiltration Training Outline, Logistics Support Standardization Manual...

It was the Type 79 Rabbit Advanced Training Syllabus for all branches that he had drawn last time!

Today, the Eighth Route Army has more and more complete branches of service, and new equipment such as tanks, fighter jets, and rocket launchers have been put into service one after another. The old experience and methods passed down from the early guerrilla warfare have gradually become unable to keep up with the speed of equipment iteration, and the power of many new weapons has not been fully utilized.

This systematic Type 79 training syllabus can just fill the biggest gap at present.

The infantry tactics training syllabus teaches everything from individual soldier tactics to company and battalion-level combined operations command. It covers how to utilize terrain, how to organize firepower, and how to infiltrate and penetrate under cover of darkness. Every subject is clearly written.

The armored forces training syllabus is so detailed it's almost obsessive, covering everything from firing on the move, vehicle crew coordination, infantry-tank cooperation, battlefield repairs, and even a dedicated chapter on "how to maintain communication in a complex electromagnetic environment."

Although electromagnetic interference didn't exist in this era, Shen Wang believed that if this knowledge were taught, the soldiers would be able to seamlessly integrate when more advanced equipment became available in the future.

Shen Wang himself found the concepts of "indirect fire" and "fire coordination line" in the artillery training syllabus to be very enlightening.

In the past, the artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army would push their cannons to the front line and fire when they saw a target; otherwise, they would be blind.

Having learned indirect fire, artillery positions could be hidden behind mountains, and shells could accurately hit Japanese soldiers more than ten kilometers away without exposing themselves.

Once the line of fire coordination is mastered, when infantry charges, artillery fire will roll forward 200 meters ahead, suppressing the enemy without accidentally harming friendly forces.

This was completely unimaginable before.

After all, we didn't even have many cannons back then!

Other air defense troops, special forces, logistics support... each outline corresponds to a completely new military branch system.

Shen Wang knew that although the stack of books looked inconspicuous, if they were thoroughly understood, the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness could at least double.

On the other side, after sending a telegram to headquarters, Commander Lu rushed back without waiting for a reply, his steps quick and swift.

As soon as I entered, my eyes fell on the neatly stacked booklets in front of Shen Wang.

"Mr. Shen, this is..."

Shen Wang smiled slightly: "This is the good stuff I was talking about!"

He picked up the stack of books one by one and introduced them, from infantry to armored troops, from artillery to aviation, from air defense troops to special forces, and finally the logistics support standardization manual that was as thick as a brick.

He spoke slowly, but every word he uttered precisely addressed the issues that Commander Lu cared about most.

How can we transform tanks from mobile artillery platforms into battlefield spearheads? How can we ensure that pilots are not only skilled in aerial combat but can perform a variety of complex missions? How can we transform logistics from "sending whatever is available" to "providing whatever is needed"?

Commander Lu's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

To be honest, he's been struggling with a problem these past few days.

Logically speaking, the troops in Jiaodong City are now well-equipped with guns, artillery, and tanks, so they should be very confident.

But every time he watched the soldiers train, saw the tanks miss the target on the firing range, or saw the artillery positions set up in a mess, he felt a tightness in his chest.

It's not that the soldiers didn't work hard, but that no one taught them.

If the officers themselves only have a superficial understanding, how can they teach the soldiers?

Many company and platoon leaders still use the old tactics of guerrilla warfare, treating tanks as bunkers and rocket launchers as mountain guns.

Although they could be used, Commander Lu felt that he had not yet seen the true power of these weapons.

Now, seeing this stack of training outlines, Commander Lu felt that the weight on his heart had finally been lifted.

He seemed to have already seen it: the infantry trained under this syllabus would no longer be the ragtag Eighth Route Army soldiers who only knew how to lie in the trenches and fire sniper shots.

Instead, they are modern infantrymen who can skillfully use automatic firepower, independently complete squad and platoon tactical maneuvers, and perform missions in any complex terrain.

Tank crews trained under this syllabus are no longer just drivers who can stop, fire, and run away; they are armored fists capable of accurately hitting targets while moving, seamlessly coordinating with infantry and artillery, and serving as the spearhead of attacks on the battlefield.

Pilots trained under this syllabus will no longer be lone heroes who only know how to fight in the air and rely on their talent to shoot down planes, but will become all-weather air forces capable of formation strikes, precision ground strikes, and missions at night and in complex weather conditions.

There are also artillerymen, air defense troops, special forces, logistics troops...

nice one!

Absolutely fantastic!
