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

"Report! Urgent military intelligence has arrived from the direction of Bao County..."

This report was like a boulder thrown into stagnant water!

Almost simultaneously, all the CEOs abruptly raised their heads, their gazes fixed on the doorway!

Everyone's heart jumped into their throat!

Is this the final, devastating news?

The deputy commander took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Come in! Read it!"

"yes!"

A young communications officer practically burst in.

"Reporting to all commanders! A great victory has been achieved at Baoxian County!!"

"Our unit has just received an urgent military intelligence report from the Pingxi Guerrilla Force! That mysterious tank... has encountered a group of ten Japanese Type 95 heavy tanks on the outskirts of Bao County..."

"The details of the battle are unclear at this time, but... all ten of the enemy's Type 95 heavy tanks... were... were completely destroyed!"

"The Wutian Battalion and the 31st Regiment of the puppet army stationed in Baoxian County have suffered heavy casualties and are fleeing towards Zhuoxian County!"

"..."

Dead!

Absolute silence!

Time seemed to stand still in the command center.

Every single one of the leaders, including the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff, was stunned into place.

No one could believe their ears!

What did they hear?

Ten heavy tanks?

Total annihilation?

Are you kidding me!

"You...you brat, say that again?"

The hot-tempered CEO was the first to react, rushing to the communications officer.

"Is this a mistake? Ten Type 95 tanks completely destroyed? This must be a myth!"

"Sir! It's absolutely true!"

The communications officer nodded emphatically, waving the telegram in his hand.

"The Pingxi guerrilla force has already sent men to the battlefield; the wreckage of ten Japanese heavy tanks is still burning there!"

"And the mountains and fields were covered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers; the scene...it's indescribable!"

"hiss--!"

The CEOs gasped in shock!

"This...how is this possible?" The chief of staff muttered to himself, also losing his composure.

"Vice President, this...this is completely beyond our understanding of 'tanks'! What kind of tank is it? Is it Russia's latest model?"

"Whatever it is!"

The vice president slammed his hand on the table, jolting all the still-dazed executives back to reality!

"Well done!"

Fighting against ten opponents single-handedly, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a desperate counterattack!

"Hahaha! Good! Good! What a mysterious hero! What an invincible chariot! Well done! Absolutely fantastic!!"

"We...we were worried about them before...looks like we were worrying for nothing!"

"This hero... no, this comrade! He's practically a god descended from heaven!"

The command center erupted in cheers!

All the previous depression, pessimism, and sighs were swept away by this earth-shattering good news!

Amidst this euphoria, the importance of the mysterious rescuer in the minds of all the CEOs was skyrocketing.

If the initial dispatch of the support troops was primarily driven by a sense of duty and gratitude—

They risked their lives to rescue our comrades from the jaws of death, and the Eighth Route Army could not stand idly by; they had to do something to show their support!

This is the most basic code of conduct among江湖义义 (jianghu yiyi, a code of honor among江湖义 ...

But what happened next kept challenging the CEOs' understanding.

Especially after analyzing the real reason for Tada Shun's outburst of rage, Shen Wang's importance has even been elevated to the strategic level.

Regardless of what channels he controlled or which high-ranking Japanese official he knew, they were all extremely important to the Eighth Route Army!

And now, upon hearing that the enemy had annihilated ten of the Japanese's most powerful heavy tanks in one fell swoop...

Shen Wang's importance has soared to an unparalleled and even terrifying level concerning the fate of the nation!

This is no joke!

This is the strategic vision that a senior commander must possess!

One of the managers, his eyes gleaming with fervor, exclaimed, "If... if we could possess a few of these tanks... no! Even just three! Just three! To form a tank company, can you imagine?"

The executives nodded.

If only I could have three of these invincible tanks...

To be honest, the CEOs don't really dare to think about it!

Because that would be a decisive force capable of completely changing the course of a local war and even affecting the strategic balance!

At this moment, the chief of staff walked to the map and pointed to slide it along a winding line.

"Gentlemen, judging from their previous movements and current location, they are clearly heading west along the Pingshi Line!"

"This direction is most likely... heading towards our base in Shanxi Province!"

Upon hearing this, the bosses were overjoyed!

"Good! Excellent! They're coming towards our base on their own initiative. What does that mean?"

"This shows that the other party at least has a favorable impression of our organization! Perhaps even...trust!"

"It's highly likely that their rescue effort was biased from the start! They are our friends, comrades we should try our best to win over!"

Taking the initiative to join the organization is undoubtedly an extremely positive and inspiring signal!

The deputy commander nodded, then another question came to mind.

"Which specific support unit did we dispatch in the Pingshi Line direction?"

A staff officer in charge of operations coordination immediately replied, "Reporting to the deputy commander, it's a unit dispatched by the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division!"

"Brigade 386?"

The vice president was taken aback for a moment, then his expression became somewhat strange, even carrying a hint of...worry?

He quickly pressed, "Could it be... that idiot Li Yunlong?"

"Yes, sir, it was Commander Li who personally led the cavalry company out," the staff officer replied.

"Tsk..."

Now, not only the deputy general manager, but also the chief of staff and several other generals who knew Li Yunlong's temperament showed a complex expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Li Yunlong!

He is indeed a master of warfare, full of clever ideas, and dares to fight tough battles; he is a rare military talent.

But this person... is also a notorious "stubborn fool" and "unyielding mule"!

He has such a temper; he gets flared up at the slightest provocation.

His mouth can sometimes drive people crazy.

He's fine with fighting, but his interpersonal skills, especially when it comes to receiving important "distinguished guests" like these...

One of the managers couldn't help but rub his forehead: "That kid Li Yunlong, what if he gets into a fight with someone over a couple of words, or mistake them for a bandit leader coming to surrender and recruits them!"

"His independent regiment is indeed very powerful under his leadership, but it also has a lot of 'banditry' about it! What if it clashes with the other side..." Another boss was also worried.

The chief of staff wholeheartedly agreed: "The relationship with the enemy must be handled well; this is even more important than capturing one or two strongholds!"

"Sending Li Yunlong... I really don't feel at ease!"

Just thinking about Li Yunlong's carefree and sometimes even reckless style, one can't help but wonder what unpredictable trouble he might cause.

The bosses immediately felt a headache coming on.

If we offend the other party by mishandling their hospitality, or if they develop a bad impression of the Eighth Route Army, the loss would be enormous!

"No! We must send someone reliable!" The deputy commander-in-chief made the decision immediately.

"Send a telegram to the 386th Brigade immediately! No! Send a telegram directly to the Independent Regiment!"

"Order Political Commissar Zhao Gang of the Independent Regiment to immediately drop everything and rush to meet with Li Yunlong! Comrade Zhao Gang will be fully responsible for the liaison matters!"

Upon hearing the name "Zhao Gang," the furrowed brows of the several executives immediately relaxed, and they all nodded in agreement.

"With Comrade Zhao Gang going, everything is fine!"

"That's right, Old Zhao is a top student from Yenching University. He's cultured, reasonable, politically astute, and handles people with composure and thoughtfulness!"

"He can even tame that stubborn mule Li Yunlong. He works well as a team, so handling external relations will definitely be no problem!"

"With Zhao Gang around, we can rest assured for the most part!"

The bosses have absolute trust and recognition of Zhao Gang's political work skills and interpersonal abilities.

Sending him was to ensure everything went smoothly, to leave the best and most sincere impression on the other party, and to lay the most solid foundation for possible in-depth cooperation in the future.

The order was quickly sent out via radio waves, and the heads of headquarters felt a little more at ease with it.

Now, all they can do is closely monitor the situation in Bao County while hoping that Zhao Gang can successfully make contact with the other party and establish a good relationship.

The vice president thought for a moment, then said, "Immediately organize a team to compile all relevant intelligence and our analysis, and send it to the rear as quickly as possible!"

Upon hearing the words "rear area," the executives were taken aback.

But then he immediately showed a relieved expression.

Such a person and such explosive news should be known to those in the rear.

In particular, how to deal with that mysterious rescuer next requires some clarification from the rear...
