You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

There are three options below:

[Upgraded to - Basic Hans Equipment Combat Engineer Platoon (8 men)]

[Merit Points Required: 15]

【装备：MP40冲锋鎗×2（配弹256发），毛瑟98k步枪×2（配弹160发），P08手枪×4（配弹128发），工兵铲、炸药包、爆破器材、排雷器材、S型反步兵地雷×20，反坦克地雷×4】

[Training Level: Excellent (Demolition, Building Combat, Mine Clearance, Bottom Mine Deployment, Civil Engineering Operations, etc.)]

[Excellent engineering squads are highly specialized and well-suited for complex battlefield environments.]

[Upgraded to - Basic Hans Equipment Repair Team (8 people)]

[Merit Points Required: 20]

Equipment: 8 P08 pistols (256 rounds of ammunition), a complete set of repair tools (welding machine, jack, wrench set, etc.)

[Included vehicle: Sd.Kfz.7 half-track repair truck (with small crane) ×1]

[Training Level: Excellent (Vehicle Repair, Welding, Simple Fortification Construction, Concrete Work)]

[A professional logistics and maintenance team capable of maintaining most ground vehicles and equipment from World War II.]

[Upgraded to—Elite Nationalist Army Combat Engineer Platoon (8 personnel)]

[Merit Points Required: 10]

【装备：MP18冲锋鎗×4（配弹512发），毛瑟M1932手枪×4（配弹320发），工兵铲、炸药包、爆破器材】

[Training Level: Excellent (Demolition, Building Combat, Mine Clearance, Civil Engineering)]

[A firepower-enhanced version of the Nationalist Army's engineers, offering high cost-effectiveness and well-suited to the battlefield environment of the Great Xia.]

Lin Feng quickly analyzed the situation.

The first upgrade was transforming them into standard Hans' engineer squads, well-equipped, highly skilled, and equipped with landmines, which proved incredibly effective in defensive battles. However, the improvement in weaponry and firepower was minimal.

Secondly, the maintenance team, equipped with half-track trucks, is a very tempting offer. Currently, troop mobility relies heavily on foot, and a truck could solve many problems. However, 20 points are the most expensive, and at the current stage, the need for maintenance might not be that urgent.

Thirdly, the elite Nationalist Army engineers, with double the firepower, only require 10 merit points. They offer the best value for money, and their equipment is standardized with the basic Nationalist Army engineer squads, making resupply convenient.

He glanced at his meager 85 merit points.

"System, do not upgrade for now."

The host can upgrade units that are not in combat at any time.

The interface disappeared.

Lin Feng let out a long sigh.

Once you relax, a wave of fatigue washes over you.

Before the time travel, he worked overtime for more than 30 consecutive hours at his workstation.

After transmigrating, I was bound to a system, made plans, and led people into battle.

Now that the adrenaline has subsided, I feel like my whole body is falling apart.

"Zhao Dashan".

His voice was a little hoarse: "Make the arrangements: the first and second platoons will be responsible for guarding, the third platoon will guard the prisoners, and the fourth platoon and the engineering squad will go and loot the spoils of war."

He paused, then added, "The key is the stables and warehouses. Interrogate them to find out where the bandits' treasure vault is, and the personal belongings of the bandit leaders. In short, find everything valuable and useful."

These are all his spoils of war.

his!

Especially the leaders, they might be hiding some good stuff.

Next, the Japanese will launch a full-scale invasion of Great Xia, and he must obtain enough funds as soon as possible to mass-produce troops.

Zhao Dashan nodded immediately: "Understood."

He turned and went to relay the order.

Soon, the soldiers sprang into action.

The guards climbed to the top of the earthen wall of the mountain stronghold to watch the prisoners stand guard with guns, while the looters split into several teams, lit torches, and began searching the entire stronghold.

Zhao Dashan and his men closely guarded Lin Feng as they searched the mountain stronghold and finally found a house that was still habitable.

"Once we're done, let everyone take turns resting. We'll head back to Qingcheng as soon as it's light tomorrow."

Sleepiness washed over him, and thinking that there should be no danger in the mountain stronghold, Lin Feng lay down on the hard wooden bed.

"Oh, and remember to wake me up tomorrow morning..."

He was too tired and didn't finish his sentence.

A few seconds later, he lost consciousness.

-----

Lin Feng was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window.

He groggily opened his eyes, and the morning light filtered through the wooden windowpanes, casting dappled patterns on the muddy ground.

Subconsciously, he reached for his phone on the bedside table.

I found nothing.

He pressed his palm against the rough wooden bed, stunned for a few seconds, before he fully came to his senses.

Oh, right.

crossed.

There are no cell phones, no WeChat, no idiot manager who's always pushing for progress, and no computer screens still flickering at 2 a.m.

This is the end of June in the 26th year of the Republic of China.

Lin Feng sat up and rubbed his face.

Memories flooded back like a tide.

Overwork death, time travel, prison cell, system, night raid, hand grenade, smell of burnt meat, vomiting...

He looked down at his hands.

There were calluses on his palms, left from the original owner's years of handling guns. There was also some black dirt under his fingernails, probably from last night's rough handling.

I really time-traveled.

It's not a dream.

He took a deep breath, and that inexplicable emotion began to surge in his chest again.

That children's song echoed in my ears...

In 1937, the Japanese invaders entered the Central Plains and first attacked Lugou Bridge...

What followed were eight years of blood and fire.

No.

Lin Feng's eyes gradually hardened.

Now that we're here, now that we have a system, now that we know the course of history, we can't let those tragedies repeat themselves.

At the very least, we must not let it happen again before our eyes.

He rolled out of bed and pushed open the door.

The morning light was blinding.

"Smack."

Outside the gate, a basic infantry squad on patrol passed by.

These are all my soldiers!

Lin Feng subconsciously straightened his back and looked at them.

They wore khaki uniforms and carried Hanyang rifles on their backs; their bayonets gleamed coldly in the morning light.

At that very moment—

【Ding! 】

A system notification sounded in my mind.

A semi-transparent blue interface pops up in front of you:

[Upgradeable unit detected: Basic National Army Infantry Squad]

[Should we upgrade?]

The following are three options:

[Upgraded to - Basic Han Chinese Infantry Squad (12 men)]

[Merit Points Required: 15]

[Training Level: Excellent (Squad Tactics, Precision Shooting, Machine Gun Suppression, Assault)]

[Note: The MG34 boasts extremely high sustained firepower and can quickly switch between belt-fed and drum-fed ammunition, making it suitable for medium-range suppression and open-field combat.]

[Upgraded to - Basic White Eagle Equipment Infantry Squad (12 men)]

[Merit Points Required: 15]

[Organization: 1 squad leader, 1 deputy squad leader, 1 automatic rifleman, and 9 riflemen]

[Training Level: Excellent]

[Note: Strong at close range with water spray. Although the BAR is called an automatic rifle, it is actually a light machine gun. The 20-round magazine limits the sustainability of firepower, making it suitable for urban warfare and surprise attacks.]

[Upgraded to - Elite Nationalist Army Infantry Platoon (12 men)]

[Merit Points Required: 8]

[Organization: 1 squad leader, 1 deputy squad leader, 6 riflemen, 4 light machine gunners]

[Training Level: Excellent]

[Note: This is the most cost-effective option, with fully localized equipment, convenient ammunition resupply, and an additional light machine gun, doubling the squad's firepower.]
