Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

Zhou Tianyang looked at him and smiled.

"Sit down and talk, don't get agitated."

Tian Chengjun sat down again, but he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face.

"Commander, what's the reaction from the Japanese?"

"The news has been blocked."

Zhou Tianyang's tone became serious.

"When I returned, the entire Taiyuan area was under martial law."

"The Japanese set up hundreds of checkpoints to check passersby."

Tian Chengjun frowned.

"So how did you get out?"

"Wearing Japanese military uniforms, riding Japanese motorcycles, and speaking the Japanese language."

Zhou Tianyang spoke casually.

"Not a single Japanese soldier suspected me along the way."

"The Japanese soldiers at those checkpoints saw my uniform and let me through without asking a single question."

As Tian Chengjun listened, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Commander, you can speak Japanese too?"

"I know a little."

Zhou Tianyang nodded.

"That's enough."

Tian Chengjun stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Commander, you're truly an extraordinary person."

His voice carried a mix of emotion and admiration.

"He can fight, he can command, he's a good shot, and he can even speak Japanese."

Zhou Tianyang waved his hand.

"Alright, stop flattering me."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious.

"Chengjun, the Japanese have blocked the news."

"Therefore, the outside world is unaware of this matter at present."

"I reckon the Military Intelligence Bureau and our headquarters are already suspicious."

"However, we probably won't know the exact details for another few days."

Tian Chengjun nodded.

"Commander, I understand."

Zhou Tianyang looked at him with piercing eyes.

"So, you have to pretend you don't know anything."

"If anyone asks, just say I went to the brigade headquarters these past few days."

"Don't say another word."

"yes!"

Tian Chengjun stood at attention and answered, his voice not loud, but every word he uttered was firm.

Zhou Tianyang leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Chengjun, do you know why I told you not to spread this?"

Tian Chengjun shook his head.

"Because our new Second Regiment is currently in the development stage."

Zhou Tianyang's tone became serious.

"The framework for the three battalions has just been set up; the personnel haven't been fully recruited, training isn't complete, and the equipment hasn't arrived yet."

"We are no match for the Japanese if we confront them head-on now."

Tian Chengjun listened and nodded repeatedly.

"Therefore, this matter must be kept secret."

Zhou Tianyang's voice rose a few decibels.

"If this gets out, and the Japanese find out it was our Second New Regiment that did it."

"The Japanese will definitely send a large army to retaliate and annihilate us."

"At that time, not only our new Second Regiment, but the entire 386th Brigade will suffer as a result."

Tian Chengjun's expression turned serious.

"Commander, I understand."

Zhou Tianyang looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"Chengjun, I trust you to handle things."

He paused, then added.

"Not only you, but the other cadres in the group must not be allowed to know either."

"yes!"

Tian Chengjun stood at attention and answered.

Zhou Tianyang leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."

"I'll rest for a while."

Tian Chengjun stood up, saluted, turned around and strode out.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away in the courtyard.

Zhou Tianyang opened his eyes and watched Tian Chengjun's figure disappear outside the courtyard gate.

Then he stood up and walked to the window.

On the threshing floor, Tian Chengjun was gathering the soldiers who had stayed behind.

Sixty people stood in neat rows, waiting for him to give them a speech.

Zhou Tianyang watched this scene with a slight smile on his lips.

Ten quarters of a year.

That's enough for him to do a lot of things.

But for now, there's no rush.

Once Zhao Wenlong and Sun Shengli return with their recruits, and once the new Second Regiment is fully assembled...

Then unify the planning and equipment.

The most important thing now is to let this matter cool down.

This will divert the Japanese soldiers' attention from this matter.

Only then can he focus on development, training, and fighting with peace of mind.

Zhou Tianyang turned around, walked back to the table, and sat down.

"system."

He meditated in his heart.

"Open the points mall."

The points mall is now open.

Current points: 112236.

The transparent light screen appeared in my mind, with items neatly categorized and displayed in a dazzling array.

Zhou Tianyang's gaze fell on the section for "physical enhancement liquid".

[Physical Enhancement Liquid (100 servings): 500 points.]

This is what he needs most right now.

The framework for the three battalions has been set up, but the personnel have not yet been recruited.

When Zhao Wenlong and Sun Shengli went out to recruit soldiers, they would bring back at least several hundred men.

But once people are recruited, their physical condition must be up to par.

Those new recruits, though young, were full of strength.

However, due to long-term malnutrition, his health was very poor.

If we don't improve our physical fitness first, training simply won't work.

Let alone high-intensity training, even running five kilometers can exhaust a large number of them.

Therefore, I must buy the physique-enhancing liquid.

And you should buy more, as a way of preparing in advance.

He quickly calculated in his mind and decided to buy fifteen portions.

Fifteen doses of the body-strengthening liquid, enough for 1,500 people.

enough.

"System, exchange for fifteen doses of physique enhancement liquid."

[Confirmed redemption of 15 doses of Physique Enhancement Liquid (100 servings), consuming 7500 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 104736.]

[Physical Enhancement Liquid (100 doses) x 15 has been distributed to the system space.]

Zhou Tianyang glanced at his points balance and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

More than 104,000 points, and there are still quite a few.

Next up are the rifles.

The rifles he's holding now are all captured Type 38 rifles.

The uniform Japanese military equipment was considered top-of-the-line even within the Eighth Route Army.

But to be honest, Zhou Tianyang really looked down on this thing.

The Type 38 rifle, with its high accuracy, long range, and low recoil, is indeed a good gun.

However, it is a bolt-action rifle, requiring the bolt to be pulled back after each shot, resulting in a very slow rate of fire.

In close-quarters combat, rate of fire is life.

You fire one shot, but they can fire three.

The difference is not small.

He needs to change his clothes.

The entire regiment was uniformly equipped with semi-automatic rifles.

The system store has what he wants.

M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle: 20 points/unit.

[Diameter: 7.62 × 63 mm.]

Magazine capacity: 8 rounds (internal magazine, using slotted clip).

Effective range: 730 meters.

Rate of fire: 40-50 rounds per minute.

Ammunition: 10 rounds per point.

Zhou Tianyang stared at the introduction for a good ten seconds.

M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle.

One of the best semi-automatic rifles of World War II.

It has an eight-round magazine, semi-automatic firing mode, and fires one shot with each trigger pull, without needing to pull the bolt.

Its rate of fire is several times that of a bolt-action rifle.

Moreover, it uses 7.62mm bullets.

Its lethality is far superior to the 6.5mm of the Type 38 rifle.

Its effective range is much longer than that of the Type 38 rifle.

nice one.

Zhou Tianyang's lips curled up slightly.

Twenty points per item, not expensive.

He now has over 100,000 points, which is more than enough to buy 2,000 bottles.

"System, exchange for two thousand M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles."

[Confirmed redemption of 2000 M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, consuming 40000 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."
