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

"Upright and righteous, the backbone of the nation!"

The deputy director simply wrote down eight large characters!

Immediately afterwards, he added a line of regular script on the left:

"Presented to my young friend Shen Mingyuan as a keepsake."

Finally, there is the signature and date.

After finishing writing, he gently put down his pen and looked at Shen Wang.

Shen Wang had already moved closer to the table, his eyes fixed on the calligraphy.

In particular, the eight characters "righteousness reaching the heavens, the backbone of the nation" made him feel a surge of passion rush to his head, and his whole body felt warm.

His lips curled up uncontrollably, harder to control than a damn AK!

It was worth it! It was worth it!

To receive such high praise from this person makes it all worthwhile!

With this calligraphy hanging in the house, what kind of demons, monsters, or evil spirits would dare to come and cause trouble?

This is practically a family heirloom-level talisman!

"Thank you, Deputy Director! Thank you! This gift is just what I wanted! I will definitely cherish it!"

Seeing that Shen Wang was even happier than if he had received 100,000 silver dollars, the deputy director felt that his evaluation of Shen Wang had reached an extremely high level!

These are... true like-minded friends!

With this, the transaction of the thousands of truckloads of supplies brought by Shen Wang was completed!

In total, they received 100,000 border region currency, an IOU for one million silver dollars, and a piece of calligraphy by the deputy director!

Well, in terms of value, Shen Wang lost a fortune!

The deputy director and others didn't dare to look Shen Wang in the eye at this moment.

I'm so sorry!

One hundred thousand border region currency is nothing more than a box of relatively stiff paper.

An IOU and a piece of handwriting are nothing more than two sheets of relatively soft Xuan paper.

In other words, they exchanged a pile of paper for weapons and supplies worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

However, the nouveau riche on the other side seemed to have obtained some incredible treasure, and looked even happier than they were.

The deputy director and the brigade commander exchanged glances.

Is this meant to be sarcastic or ironic?

The deputy director, in particular, knew that the price he offered was too low.

But when it comes to business, asking for the moon and then settling for less is just a starting price he gives.

But who would have thought that Shen Wang wouldn't even haggle over the price!

"Cough cough,"

The deputy director cleared his throat and looked at Shen Wang: "Mr. Shen, if you have any further requests, please feel free to make them!"

"We will do our best to fulfill your request!"

"If you are not satisfied with this transaction, you are free to leave with the supplies. Rest assured, we will not stop you, nor will we harm you!"

Ok?

Shen Wang was taken aback.

No, haven't we already completed the transaction? Why are we still talking about this?

Immediately afterward, Shen Wang realized what was happening!

This was because they were worried he would feel like he was being forced into a sale, since he was all alone now, while there was an entire independent regiment around him!

Shen Wang smiled and said, "Deputy Director, you're overthinking it. I'm very satisfied with this transaction!"

"If Mr. Shen had any concerns, he wouldn't have brought so many supplies with him!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy director finally breathed a sigh of relief.

My heart is filled with warmth and gratitude!

This is the greatest recognition for them!

"Very good! I'm glad Mr. Shen is satisfied! Does Mr. Shen have any other requests?"

Requirements...

Shen Wang thought for a moment.

I only have a tiny bit of military merit left, it's time to stock up!

"If I absolutely had to make a request, it would be to fight the Japanese devils!"

When the topic of fighting the Japanese devils came up, everyone's expression turned serious.

"Mr. Shen, please rest assured, we would have done it even if you hadn't asked!"

Shen Wang nodded.

Sudden--

He seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, everyone, I'd like to ask, where do you plan to build that arsenal?"

Ok?

The deputy director and the brigade commander exchanged another glance.

"Of course it's built on... built on..."

Yeah, where will it be built?

I was so focused on the price that I hadn't even considered this issue.

"Mr. Shen, do you have any suggestions?" the deputy director asked.

Since Shen Wang brought it up, surely he must have given it some thought?

Upon hearing this, Shen Wang licked his lips:

"How about building it in the county town? We can't build it in the mountains, can we?"

Building a factory deep in the mountains presents a significant challenge, not to mention transportation.

but--

"Mr. Shen, you may not know this,"

The deputy director wore a wry smile.

"We only control county towns in the rear areas; here in Shanxi Province... it's really..."

The county town here is occupied by the Japanese!

But at this moment, Li Yunlong, who knew Shen Wang best, had his eyes light up instantly!

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "I understand! Mr. Shen, you mean... you wouldn't mean...?"

Li Yunlong's shout also brought the deputy director and the brigade commander to their senses!

They all looked at Shen Wang in disbelief.

Shen Wang smiled and nodded.

"Then... let's take one down, shall we?"

The words had barely left his mouth—

[Ding! System mission triggered: Attack the county town!]

[Mission Reward: 10-pull Gold-tier reward (guaranteed SSR)]

Shen Wang was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed!

A ten-pull at the Gold level? ???

Okay, okay, okay!!!

Shen Wang's idea was originally just a sudden whim, but now, this county town is a must-win situation!

On the other side, unlike the excited Shen Wang, the deputy director and others had solemn expressions!

Taking over a county town is no simple matter; it's not something that can be done with just a few words!

If it were that simple, the Eighth Route Army would have attacked long ago!

And most importantly, it's not just about being able to attack, but also about being able to defend!

But then, the deputy director and the brigade commander were stunned!

In the past, we might not have been able to take it down. Even if we did take a county, we wouldn't have been able to hold it!

But now...

14 invincible heavy tanks, over 2000 machine guns, 20 107mm guns, and anti-aircraft guns…

We can definitely take it down!

A cold glint flashed in the brigade commander's eyes.

With these weapons, plus Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie's New First and New Second Regiments, the brigade commander was confident that he could capture a county town.

The problem now is defense!

The brigade commander thought about it and it seemed that they could hold the line!

Putting everything else aside, those 20 107mm guns alone are enough to give the Japanese a run for their money!

A Japanese division, comprising an artillery regiment with 12 105mm howitzers.

In Shanxi Province, the First Army of the North China Army only had three divisions in total!

Including some directly subordinate brigades, the total number of 105mm howitzers in the entire Shanxi province is estimated to be no more than 50!

In terms of heavy firepower, the Eighth Route Army has reversed the situation and even crushed the enemy!

As for the Air Force…

Those three air defense battalions equipped with proximity fuses might not be enough to protect the skies of the entire Shanxi province, but they were sufficient to protect the airspace of a county!

Although the deputy director is in political work, his military skills are equally impressive!

Naturally, he also figured out the ins and outs of this place!

After a moment's thought, the two realized it was definitely a good idea!

If we can capture a county and successfully hold it, its practical value and strategic significance will be enormous!

"Mr. Shen, I think we should give it a try!"

After a moment's thought, the deputy director spoke slowly.

"However, attacking a county town is no small matter and requires careful planning!"

Shen Wang nodded. War is not child's play; it cannot be done on a whim!

"Um, I'd like to ask, approximately how many troops are stationed in the nearby counties?"

The brigade commander thought for a moment and replied, "In the nearby counties, there's only one infantry regiment of Japanese soldiers stationed there each!"

Just one regiment?

Shen Wang smiled!

What the hell are you even thinking about!

Just do it!

"Gentlemen, I have a plan..."
