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

Zhou Tianyang leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

I mentally reviewed the supplies I had just exchanged.

These items are enough to fully arm the Second New Regiment to the teeth.

But I always felt like something was missing.

He frowned and went over the list in his mind again.

Suddenly, he sat up abruptly.

Fuck!

They forgot about the submachine guns of the guard platoon.

The regimental headquarters' directly subordinate guard platoon, consisting of thirty men, is specifically responsible for the security and safety of the regimental headquarters.

These people are not just guards, but also a reserve force for critical moments, the sharpest blade on the battlefield.

Submachine guns must be equipped.

The assault rifle is the right way.

In close-quarters combat, whether it's suppressing enemy fire, fighting in urban areas, night battles, or jungle warfare, the submachine gun is a godsend.

Zhou Tianyang opened the system store and his eyes fell on the submachine gun section.

MP40.

Made in Germany, one of the best submachine guns of World War II.

It has a moderate rate of fire, high accuracy, good reliability, and much less recoil than American submachine guns.

A magazine with over thirty rounds, a rate of fire of five hundred rounds per minute, and an effective range of two hundred meters.

Although its rate of fire is not as terrifying as the MG42, it is more than enough for the guard platoon.

One hundred points per item isn't cheap, but it's definitely worth it.

"System, redeem thirty MP40 submachine guns."

[Confirmed redemption of 30 MP40 submachine guns, consuming 3000 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 36936.]

[30 MP40 submachine guns have been distributed to your system space.]

We have the gun, but we also need the bullets.

"System, exchange for 10,000 bullets."

[Confirmed redemption of 10000 9mm standard ammunition, consuming 100 points.]

[Confirm?]

"confirm."

[Redeem successful.]

[Host's current remaining points: 36836.]

[10000 9mm standard ammunition rounds have been distributed to the system storage.]

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

36,836 points.

Everything is ready.

He needs to get some rest now.

These past few days have been filled with travel and assassination missions. Although I'm not physically tired, I've been constantly on edge.

It's time to relax.

……

Two days later.

386th Brigade Headquarters.

Brigade Commander Chen sat at the table, his eyes fixed on a newly delivered intelligence report.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression was somewhat complicated.

Beside him, Political Commissar Wang sat in a chair, holding a document in his hand, reading it.

"Old Wang, take a look at this."

Brigade Commander Chen handed over the intelligence, his tone tinged with doubt.

Political Commissar Wang took the intelligence report and looked down at it.

There are only a few lines of text above.

"Katsuki Kiyoshi, former commander of the First Army of the Japanese North China Area Army, was assassinated at Taiyuan Guangshe Airport on the morning of May 31 and is presumed dead."

"The specific details are unclear, and the identity of the murderer is unknown. Further confirmation is needed."

Political Commissar Wang frowned as well.

He looked up at Brigade Commander Chen.

"Old Chen, is this news reliable?"

"It was sent back by the intelligence agent in Taiyuan, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Commander Chen leaned back in his chair and spoke slowly.

Political Commissar Wang put down the intelligence report and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"A Japanese army lieutenant general was assassinated at the airport."

"This is the first time since we started our war of resistance."

"If the news is true, that would be a big deal."

Brigade Commander Chen nodded.

"Who can argue with that?"

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"But the question is, who actually did this?"

"Was it done by our people, or by the Military Intelligence Bureau?"

"Or is it a political struggle within the Japanese ranks?"

Political Commissar Wang thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.

"If it was one of our people who did it, then who could it be?"

"Do our underground party members in Taiyuan have this capability?"

"To assassinate an army lieutenant general at an airport heavily guarded by the Japanese is not something an ordinary person can do."

Brigade Commander Chen remained silent.

He mentally reviewed the 129th Division's troops around Taiyuan.

All the main regiments are at the front line, and the closest one to Taiyuan is several hundred miles away.

As for those newly formed regiments, that's even more impossible.

Although the First and Second New Regiments were not too far from Taiyuan, their strength...

Brigade Commander Chen frowned even more deeply.

The new first regiment and the new second regiment each have more than 200 and 300 people respectively.

Taking over a stronghold is fine, but assassinating a Japanese lieutenant general in Taiyuan?

Isn't that just a fantasy?

"Do you think it could have been done by the Military Intelligence Bureau?"

Brigade Commander Chen looked at Political Commissar Wang.

Political Commissar Wang thought for a moment and nodded.

"Possibly."

"The Military Intelligence Bureau had a station in Taiyuan. They carried out assassinations and sabotage behind enemy lines more than once or twice."

"Moreover, the Military Intelligence Bureau has American aid, so their equipment is better than ours, and their training is more professional."

"They have more experience than we do in assassinating high-ranking generals."

Brigade Commander Chen nodded, but his brows remained furrowed.

"If it was done by the Military Intelligence Bureau, then that makes sense."

"But the problem is, there's no news coming out from the Military Intelligence Bureau either."

"There was no feedback regarding our relationships within the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"There's something fishy about this."

The two looked at each other and fell silent.

After a long while, Political Commissar Wang finally spoke.

"Brigade Commander, do you think it could have been Li Yunlong or Zhou Tianyang who did it?"

Brigade Commander Chen paused for a moment, then shook his head and couldn't help but laugh.

"impossible."

"Those two lads are good at fighting, but assassinations?"

"With Li Yunlong's personality, if he were sent to Taiyuan, he would be caught by the Japanese within half a day."

"Zhou Tianyang is reliable, but he's only twenty years old and has about three hundred men under his command."

"To assassinate a Japanese lieutenant general in Taiyuan? He has neither the ability nor the guts."

Political Commissar Wang also smiled.

"Too."

"Those two lads will be lucky if they can even lift up the new first and second regiments."

"Assassinating a Japanese lieutenant general is something they are definitely not capable of doing."

Commander Chen picked up his teacup, took another sip of water, and then placed the teacup on the table.

"This matter needs to be monitored."

"Have the intelligence personnel in Taiyuan investigate this matter as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Political Commissar Wang nodded, picked up the intelligence report on the table, stood up, and strode out.

Brigade Commander Chen leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

His mind was still preoccupied with Kiyoshi Kazuki.

If this news is true.

That's truly gratifying!

How many bad things did that old Japanese devil, Kiyoshi Katsuki, do in Shanxi?

Now that he's dead, whoever did it, it's a good thing.

Brigade Commander Chen opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He wanted to see which deity had accomplished such a great feat.

Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly.

The outline of the Taihang Mountains in the distance appeared exceptionally clear under the sunlight.

Commander Chen gazed at the mountains and remained silent for a long time.

Then he stood up and walked to the window.

"Regardless of who did it, it was a great contribution to the War of Resistance!"

He was talking to himself, his voice not loud.

But every word carries an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

Brigade Commander Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and then put it down.

Now, let's wait for new information from Taiyuan.

There's no use thinking about it now.

He estimated that the Military Intelligence Bureau was also investigating this matter.
