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

The applause was very loud in the command post.

Everyone turned to look and saw that Commander Li was full of excitement and was the first to applaud.

Commander Li listened intently, his heart churning with turmoil.

He never expected that this young general would possess such a grand and clear strategic vision.

He spoke eloquently about strategy, directly targeting the Japanese invaders' weaknesses.

Most importantly, this wasn't some armchair strategist like Zhao Kuo; they actually annihilated the Guoqi Detachment in Jiangbei as proof of their actions.

"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Commander Li clapped his hands and laughed, jokingly saying:

"General Lin, according to what you say..."

"So this rapid-fire force, meant to deliver the final blow, seems to belong to your 33rd Army Corps!"

"Hahaha……"

A burst of good-natured laughter erupted in the headquarters, and the atmosphere became incredibly harmonious.

While everyone was laughing and joking, Commander Li's mind was racing.

Lin Feng's words were like a key, instantly unlocking his thinking.

A massive, multi-pronged battle plan to lure the enemy deep into our territory and then annihilate them was gradually taking shape in his mind.

Of course, he hadn't decided yet which unit would be the decisive force in the final battle; after all, matters of national importance cannot be taken lightly.

"Brother Lin."

Commander Li's smile faded, and he asked with concern:

"Your 33rd Army Corps has just been expanded. What is the current situation of the troops?"

Are there any difficulties, and do you need any assistance from the theater command?

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was overjoyed.

That's exactly what I've been waiting for.

It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, when will you?

Lin Feng's once upright posture instantly slumped, his face immediately displaying a gloomy and miserable expression, and he began to pour out his grievances:

"Oh, Commander Li, you've finally hit the nail on the head!"

The department is really suffering.

Jiangcheng only gave me the designation of two new divisions, but they didn't give me any money, guns, or personnel.

My divisions were badly damaged in the fighting north of the Yangtze River, and now they can't even set up a proper structure.

The soldiers couldn't even get enough to eat, and the rifling was worn down without any replacements.

"Sir, you've got to lend this guy a hand!"

Lin Feng's lament about being poor was so heart-wrenching that it left the staff officers around him stunned.

How did the war god, who was just pointing out the flaws of the world and commanding the world, suddenly become a beggar?

In short, Lin Feng's attitude was very clear: I want the money, I want the new recruits, and I also want the weapons, equipment, and ammunition.

As long as Commander Li is willing to give, I, Lin Feng, dare to accept it all without hesitation.

Commander Li was both amused and exasperated by Lin Feng's shameless behavior.

But he was a very decisive person who knew the principle that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.

"Alright, alright, stop complaining about being poor to me."

Commander Li waved his hand and made the decision on the spot:

"I've made the decision."

They'll directly assign you a full-strength new recruit regiment from the replenishment barracks in the war zone.

In addition, we will transfer you to an officer training platoon composed of educated young people who have joined the army, to strengthen your grassroots backbone.

As for weapons and ammunition, I'll give you two thousand rifles, plus one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition and five thousand hand grenades.

As for the money, I'll grant you 50 yuan in military funds as a special allowance.

How about that, is that enough?

"Sir, you are wise. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the 33rd Army Corps, I thank you for your guidance."

Lin Feng immediately stood at attention and saluted, his worried expression vanishing instantly, replaced by a smile like a fox who had stolen a chicken.

-----

Lin Feng spent a brief day at the Fifth War Zone Command Headquarters in Pengcheng, finalizing details regarding supplies and defense zones, before lingering any longer.

He and his guard company boarded a northbound military train.

The train chugged along the Jinpu Railway and soon arrived at Jiawang County, the new garrison of the 33rd Army Corps.

As soon as I got off the train, a cold wind carrying a faint smell of coal smoke hit me.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and found the smell incredibly comforting, rather than pungent.

This is the lifeblood of industry.

Jiawang was an absolute treasure trove during the Republic of China era.

It not only occupies a strategically important southern gateway to Taierzhuang, but it is also a century-old coal city renowned throughout the country.

Large-scale coal mining began here as early as the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.

During the Republic of China era, the famous Jiawang Coal Mining Company introduced Western steam pumps and winches, and its mines were scattered throughout the country, with high-quality anthracite coal being transported to all parts of the country via canals and railways.

It has coal, water, and railways.

This is simply a godsend industrial base.

"Your Excellency."

On the platform, Sun Ziqiang, the head of the logistics and equipment department of the corps who had arrived earlier, was already waiting with his men.

"How's it going? Have you chosen a location yet?" Lin Feng strode forward and asked bluntly.

"It's settled. The scouts thoroughly investigated the area around Jiawang and found an excellent location."

Sun Ziqiang said excitedly, "You'll see for yourself."

Everyone quickly got into the cars, and the convoy drove out of the train station and headed northeast along a dirt road.

After walking for about ten miles, a range of rolling hills appeared ahead.

This place is not far from the core coal mining area of ​​Jiawang, and you can even see the towering mine shafts in the distance.

The convoy stopped in front of a secluded valley.

Lin Feng jumped out of the car and followed Sun Ziqiang into the depths of the valley.

Pushing aside the dense withered vines and shrubs, several huge natural karst caves suddenly appeared before our eyes.

Although the entrance to the cave is not large, the inside is surprisingly spacious, large enough for several large trucks to drive in side by side, and it is also very dry.

"What a great place."

Lin Feng walked around the cave, patted the hard rock wall with satisfaction, and laughed loudly:

"This natural air-raid shelter has a rock layer at least ten meters thick on top."

Even if the Japanese planes drop all their bombs, they won't be able to damage our machinery in the slightest.

"Yes, Commander, and these caves are all connected, with good ventilation. With a little modification, they can be turned into a ready-made arsenal." Sun Ziqiang rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining.

"Alright, stop just watching and get to work."

With a thought, Lin Feng connected with the system space.

When my hamster obsession kicked in, all the good stuff I'd stuffed into the system space finally had a chance to come in handy.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

A series of faint lights flashed by.

The industrial equipment that had been desperately salvaged from factories in Zhabei, the Jiangyin Fortress, and other places along the way during the Battle of Shanghai appeared one after another in the spacious cave, as if by magic.

In an instant, the once empty cave was filled with all sorts of steel structures.

The strong smell of engine oil filled the air, making Lin Feng sniffle.

Sun Ziqiang was so excited that he trembled as he looked at the scene before him.

He pounced on a brand-new German-made lathe, stroking its cold metal casing as if it were a lover:

"Lathes, milling machines, planers, drilling machines... more than five hundred in total!"

With these treasures, I, the head of the logistics and equipment department, can finally show off my skills!

Lin Feng then walked to the deepest part of the cave, where two enormous figures stood.

(The third update of the day is here. Potato is still asking for gifts.)
