Courtyard House: Home Alone

This time, he teleported directly into the core ammunition depot. There were as many as eight large ammunition depots here. Looking at the shells, bullets and explosives stacked neatly to the ceiling, he didn't waste any more words and directly put the entire ammunition depot into the system space with a thought.

Then came the second, the third...

During his daytime reconnaissance, he discovered that the Fengtian Arsenal mainly produces bullets and shells, while firearms are mainly repaired. Currently, only one mortar workshop is still producing them independently.

Other firearms production lines and artillery manufacturing equipment were transported to the island nation. However, a considerable amount of advanced smelting equipment remained, which were all valuable assets.

Adhering to the principle of not missing out or letting go, Lin Yifan began to collect the equipment, raw materials, finished products and semi-finished products.

Because his domain has greatly expanded, although the Fengtian Arsenal is quite large, by the time dawn broke in the east, everything that could be taken from the arsenal had entered Lin Yifan's space, leaving not even a single piece of paper or screw for the Japanese.

However, it cannot be said that nothing was left behind entirely. The corpses of a company of Japanese soldiers who guarded the arsenal are now lying scattered throughout the arsenal.

The next morning, the Japanese engineer who came to work was terrified when he saw the empty workshop and the corpses scattered all over the ground. He ran to the garrison commander of the Kwantung Army stationed at the factory to report the news.

What they found was a corpse lying in the dormitory. There was nothing they could do but report it to the Fengtian Military Police.

Upon hearing the news, the military police captain rushed to the scene and, seeing the empty production workshop and ammunition depot, turned pale with fright. He immediately sent a telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Fengtian.

The message was passed up the chain of command, and when the Kwantung Army headquarters, which had just stabilized its command structure, received the news, the entire office building was in an uproar.

First, a group of high-ranking officials and the treasures of the puppet palace disappeared overnight in Xinjing. Now, the Fengtian arsenal has been emptied overnight, and even a company of guards has been killed. If this gets out, the whole world will be shocked.

Especially on the Australian battlefield, if the Japanese soldiers, who were advancing all the way, ran out of bullets and shells, they would immediately be in a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food. The consequences were unimaginable.

The newly appointed acting commander of the Kwantung Army immediately ordered the closure of Fengtian City and a city-wide search for suspicious persons. At the same time, he strictly ordered a news blackout, forbidding any leaks.

But secrets don't stay hidden forever, especially since there were so many Chinese workers in the arsenal. Within half a day, the news had spread throughout Fengtian City.

It is said that a righteous man raided the Kwantung Army's arsenal overnight, emptying the Japanese army's coffers. The people secretly cheered, and martial law was imposed and people were searched in the streets. No one was willing to give the Japanese a word.

Lin Yifan had already teleported to Fengtian Railway Station after completing the operation and boarded the earliest train bound for Tianjin. They were about to arrive at Shanhaiguan.

After changing trains in Tianjin, he returned to Beiping smoothly.

Meanwhile, in Australia, the Japanese forces were forced to halt their advance due to a shortage of ammunition. The frontline commanders frantically telegraphed their military headquarters back home, demanding additional ammunition. The headquarters had no choice but to urgently coordinate with local arsenals.

At the same time, it forced the Kwantung Army to restore production capacity within three months and send the scarce ammunition to the front line.

After receiving the order, the Kwantung Army could only sigh at the empty Fengtian Arsenal. It would take at least six months to rebuild the production line, let alone three months. The entire Japanese military was shrouded in gloom, and no one could come up with a solution.

Time quickly passed to the beginning of 45. In the two years that followed, Chinese-made artillery pieces, including the 75mm mountain gun, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and the 105mm howitzer, rolled off the production line at the Beiping Arsenal.

Under the guidance of Jewish engineers, the tank factory produced the Type 59 medium tank fifteen years ahead of schedule, using the blueprints Lin Yifan had obtained from his spatial storage, although only thirty-six tanks were produced.

However, with its powerful firepower, it was already able to overwhelm the Japanese armored forces on Chinese soil. At the same time, the Beiping Military Region, in conjunction with the seventy-two T-34/85 tanks obtained in exchange for blueprints and the captured Japanese tanks, formed two armored regiments, which had already quietly completed their reorganization and training.

We'll wait until spring to launch a counter-offensive and drive the Japanese out of North China completely. Then we'll march into Northeast China and strive to recover it with our own strength.

In the two years that followed, the Beiping Military Region expanded its forces to 150,000 men and was upgraded to the North China Military Region. Half of them were equipped with the Type 56 rifle, now called the Type 43 semi-automatic rifle, produced by the arsenal.

The machine guns were MG42 general-purpose machine guns. Lin Yifan had seized so many ammunition production lines in Fengtian that he could produce the ammunition he needed with just a few modifications.

The finished ammunition captured in Fengtian was just enough to supply the troops who hadn't yet been re-equipped to defend Beiping. Therefore, the firepower density of the attacking force could completely overwhelm the Japanese. Even if a brigade were to fight a standing division of the island nation head-on, they could suppress them so much that they couldn't raise their heads.

Lin Yifan has been busy these past two years. In addition to coordinating resources and transporting equipment for the rear, he also occasionally uses his teleportation ability to sneak into the Japanese command posts.

He destroyed a command post and eliminated a few traitors, making the Japanese army in North China extremely wary. Even the division commanders had to be escorted by an entire regiment of guards when they went out, for fear of becoming victims of Lin Yifan's blade.

His most notable achievement was that he made two more trips to Northeast China to help the Third Detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army grow stronger, bringing its strength to more than 50,000 and upgrading it into the Northeast Military Region.

At the same time, they assisted them in clearing out the eight fortresses built by the Japanese on the border between China and the Soviet Union, thus blocking the Russians' access to China.

That morning, Lin Yifan had just finished breakfast when the phone on the table rang. It was Commander Chen (the brigade commander) calling.

He said he had just received intelligence that the Japanese Imperial Guard Division had been transferred from outside the Great Wall to the Pacific Ocean, leaving their forces in the Northeast significantly weakened. Now was the perfect time to launch a counter-offensive, and the Central Committee had approved the North China Military Region's plan to launch a spring counter-offensive, instructing him to quickly prepare his troops and set off.

In addition, we hope that "Ghost" can assist us in this counter-offensive plan and eliminate the Japanese in North China and Northeast China as soon as possible.

Lin Yifan hung up the phone and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. Since Commander Chen was already prepared, it was time to move on. After this operation, it would be time to send his men to a different battlefield.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone next to him and dialed the pharmaceutical factory's second line, which was Chen Gongshu's private phone line.

The phone was answered after just one ring: "This is the pharmaceutical factory's second line. Who are you looking for?" Chen Gongshu's voice came from the other end of the line.

"It's me, Lin Yifan. Station Master, come to my house right away, I need to talk to you."

Chen Gongshu immediately replied on the other end of the line, "I'll be there right away." Less than half an hour after hanging up the phone, there was a light knock on the gate, and Chen Gongshu entered. He took off his felt hat and held it in his hand, then quickly followed Xia Yan into the living room.
