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

"Mr. Shen... do you have any brilliant plan?"

The brigade commander and others stared intently.

Shen Wang chuckled, not answering directly, but instead keeping everyone in suspense.

"Do you all know what other capabilities the Type 99A tank possesses besides its strong armor and powerful gun?"

"What?" everyone asked instinctively.

"It also has night vision capabilities!"

Shen Wang stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Even in the dead of night when it's pitch black, people inside the car can see the scene ahead clearly through the equipment, just like daytime!"

"Night vision function?"

"Night as bright as day?"

Everyone was shocked!

I never expected it to have such a function!

The brigade commander reacted extremely quickly and grasped the key point in an instant.

"Mr. Shen, the plan you proposed, could it be... a night raid?"

"That's right! It was a night raid!" Shen Wang nodded.

"Under the cover of night, when the Japanese were relatively lax in their guard, we concentrated our tank firepower, blasted the city gates open, and then drove straight in, without engaging in any prolonged battles, heading straight for the Japanese barracks, command posts, and other core areas!"

He spoke faster and faster, his thoughts clear: "A regiment at most has four thousand Japanese soldiers. That's less than three hundred per tank!"

"Everyone knows the power of the Type 99A's main gun; a single salvo can jolt the Japanese out of their slumber and disrupt their formation!"

"Two volleys of fire will completely crush them, rendering them unable to mount any effective resistance!"

"After the three volleys, those who still dare to fight back with their guns on the position must be the most tenacious and most deserving of death among the Japanese soldiers!"

Listening to Shen Wang's murderous and vivid description, Li Yunlong felt a surge of heat rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Right, right, right! One tank can wipe out an entire stronghold, so with all 14 tanks deployed, taking down a regiment is a piece of cake!"

To be honest, using 14 Type 99A tanks to fight an entire Japanese regiment is giving the Japanese a bit too much credit!

The brigade commander and deputy director quickly began to mentally rehearse the scenario.

Night combat has always been an area where the Eighth Route Army has been able to leverage its strengths.

Now, coupled with the tank's night vision capabilities and overwhelming firepower...

With the other side gaining an advantage, the odds of victory are extremely high!

"If that's really the case, things will be much simpler!" A cold glint flashed in the brigade commander's eyes!

"There's no need to even mobilize the new First and Second Regiments; Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment alone, along with the support of the surrounding county brigades and district squads, is enough to take down a county town!"

The deputy director nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "Tactically, it's entirely feasible!"

"A night raid would maximize our strengths and catch the enemy off guard! If successful, it would not only capture the county town but also greatly deter the enemy!"

"Then let's fight!"

The brigade commander also lost his temper.

"However, the greater the advantage, the more cautious we must be! Preparations must be flawless!"

The deputy director also stood up: "Such a major military operation must be approved and coordinated by headquarters. I will immediately set off back to headquarters to report to them."

So, the deputy director, not long after arriving, hurriedly returned to headquarters.

On the one hand, they needed to request permission to attack the county town; on the other hand, they also needed to give a detailed report on the transaction with Shen Wang.

It's not just about reporting the transaction results, but also about reporting on Shen Wang himself!

After a brief encounter, Shen Wang had already reached a very high position in the deputy director's mind!

It has even reached the point where it concerns the fate of the entire Eighth Route Army!

How did those thousands of trucks end up in Yangcun?

Also, the armored vehicle that first appeared in Beiping...

Just because no one asks or mentions these things doesn't mean everyone is stupid!

After the deputy director left, Shen Wang didn't stop working.

Teach the Eighth Route Army how to fire artillery!

The Type 99A is an automatic reloading tank, which is completely different from tanks of this era!

Fortunately, tanks are all direct-fire cannons, which is much easier to fire than indirect-fire cannons like mortars and howitzers.

Once you're familiar with the operating procedures, just aim and blast them!

Meanwhile, Li Yunlong and his men were not idle either, and quickly prepared their troops.

Although they had to wait for orders from headquarters, the brigade commander felt that the higher-ups would definitely agree to the plan!

. . .

One day later.

The deputy director traveled a long and arduous journey, riding at breakneck speed and working almost non-stop, finally arriving back at the Eighth Route Army headquarters the following evening.

At this point, the deputy director had not slept for two days and two nights.

But he didn't care about any of that and went straight to the command center.

Inside the command center, the deputy commander-in-chief, the chief of staff, and several senior officers were discussing other military matters when the deputy director entered, which surprised them.

"Old man, why are you back so soon? Did something go wrong?"

The vice president looked concerned and gestured to the staff officer next to him to pour a glass of water for the deputy director.

The deputy director took the water glass, not even bothering to drink it, took a deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, and began his report:

"Gentlemen, the business in Yangcun... has been concluded."

"Finished the talks?" The chief of staff asked, somewhat surprised. "So quickly? What was the result?"

The deputy director's face showed a complex and indescribable expression, a mixture of excitement, shame, and relief:

"The deal has been struck...!"

「沈先生带来的所有装备物资，包括那三个防空营、两个炮兵营、四个步兵营的装备、还有两千多支56沖、上百挺轻机枪、20门107火、50具40火，以及那座日产能十万发子弹的兵工厂…」

"We...we have received everything."

"They've taken it all?" one of the executives exclaimed. "My God! How much money did that cost? Are the antiques we brought enough?"

The deputy director shook his head, his tone carrying an unbelievable quality even to himself:

"What we paid Mr. Shen was... a total of 100,000 Border Region Currency, an IOU for one million Silver Dollars, and... a piece of calligraphy that I wrote for him."

……

quiet!

The command room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

The expressions on the faces of the CEOs froze completely, as if they had heard the most absurd thing in the world.

100,000 Border Region Currency? An IOU? A piece of calligraphy?

In return, they acquired a massive arsenal worth hundreds of millions, enough to arm an enhanced brigade with surplus, and even capable of changing the strategic situation.

How...how is this possible?

"Pfft—cough cough!"

A CEO who was drinking tea choked on the water, coughing repeatedly until his face turned red.

Another boss rubbed his ears hard, wondering if he had misheard.

The deputy commander and chief of staff looked at each other in disbelief; it was truly unbelievable!

"Old man...you...you're not kidding, are you?" The vice president's voice trembled slightly.

"Are you sure... Mr. Shen... agreed? Just these... sheets of paper?"

"Absolutely true!" The deputy director nodded emphatically, his tone utterly certain.

"Mr. Shen not only agreed, but... he never haggled over the price even once. He even agreed without hesitation when I suggested settling in the border region currency and issuing an IOU!"

Next, the deputy director explained the transaction process in detail.

A collective gasp filled the command room.

"hiss--!"
