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

To be honest, Zhou Tianyang is currently very short of points.

Don't be fooled by the fact that I earned 3458 points this time.

That sounds like a lot, but it's far from enough for his plan.

Zhou Tianyang leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table as he pondered the matter.

3458 points, that sounds like a lot.

But once you start blooming, it's not a long time at all.

He wanted to form a guard platoon of thirty men, each equipped with an MP40 submachine gun.

Thirty MP40s, that's 3000 points.

Add in the cost of the accompanying ammunition, and it will cost at least several hundred more points.

This single guard platoon alone could drain his current points.

Not to mention that they will need to continue recruiting soldiers.

With new recruits coming in, shouldn't we provide them with physique-enhancing fluids?

One dose of the physique enhancement liquid costs 500 points, enough for 100 people.

He has now set up the framework for three battalions.

If we recruit another thousand or so people, we'll need at least seven or eight more jobs.

This one item alone would get you three or four thousand points.

Skill inheritance cards are also essential.

Marksmanship and bayonet fighting are both essential skills.

He had spent 600 points to barely cover the force of over 300 men.

But if we expand to a thousand people, we'll have to spend at least another one or two thousand cents.

And equipment.

Although the new Second Regiment is now using captured Type 38 rifles, all of them are standard Japanese rifles.

This was considered top-tier even within the Eighth Route Army.

To be honest, Zhou Tianyang looked down on this thing a little.

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.

On the battlefield, especially in close-quarters combat, rate of fire is life.

Isn't the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle in the system store a good choice?

Eight-round magazine, semi-automatic firing, one shot is fired with each pull of the trigger.

It does not require pulling the bolt, and its rate of fire is several times that of a bolt-action rifle.

Moreover, it uses 7.62mm bullets, which are far more lethal than the 6.5mm bullets used in the Type 38 rifle.

There was also the MG42 general-purpose machine gun, with a rate of fire of over a thousand rounds per minute, known as "Hitler's chainsaw".

There are also mortars, infantry guns, anti-tank guns...

He can redeem all of these items in the system's shop.

But he could only watch.

Why?

I don't have enough points.

An M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle costs 30 cents, twice as expensive as a Type 38 rifle.

A company of over a hundred people, if all of them were equipped with M1 Garands, would need more than three thousand points.

Where did he get so many points?

Zhou Tianyang felt a surge of irritation as he thought about this.

He opened his eyes and walked to the window.

Looking at the soldiers training on the threshing ground, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

We need to figure out a way to get points.

Fighting the Japanese is the fastest way to earn points.

But wars can't be fought every day.

The Japanese transport convoys don't pass right under your nose every day.

We fought such a big battle at Broken Soul Gorge last time.

The Japanese will definitely be on high alert and won't send transport teams along that route again in the short term.

Therefore, he needs to find a new source of points.

Zhou Tianyang walked back to the table and sat down.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and began to recall his past life.

What important event happened in May 1938?

He closed his eyes, searching his memory.

The Japanese launched a nine-pronged attack, and the Eighth Route Army won a great victory.

They recovered more than a dozen counties, including Liaoxian, Qinxian, Wuxiang, Anze, Tunliu, and Changzi, and established a firm foothold in southeastern Shanxi.

He knew this; the brigade commander had already told him about it when he was at the brigade headquarters.

The next period of time will likely involve a protracted war between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in southeastern Shanxi.

You hit me, I hit you.

This kind of tug-of-war, although it can earn points, is too inefficient.

Suddenly, Zhou Tianyang's eyes snapped open.

He thought of something important.

Xiangyue Qingji.

Commander of the First Army of the Japanese North China Area Army, Lieutenant General.

This old Japanese soldier stepped down on May 31, 1938, and was transferred back to the Japanese headquarters.

The reason was that he was at odds with General Terauchi Hisaichi, the commander of the North China Area Army.

A disagreement arose in the command of the operation, and Terauchi Hisaichi directly dismissed him.

Zhou Tianyang remembers it very clearly.

Kiyoshi Kazuki was not a good person in history.

During his tenure as commander of the First Army, he directed the Japanese army to carry out several large-scale sweeps in Shanxi, committing arson, murder, looting, and all sorts of atrocities.

What's even more hateful is that this old Japanese devil later escaped punishment.

He was not tried as a war criminal after the war and lived peacefully until 1950.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tianyang's eyes turned cold.

What was the system's price tag for a Japanese lieutenant general?

He quickly recited it silently in his mind.

"System, how many points is a Japanese lieutenant general worth?"

[Ding! The points corresponding to Japanese military ranks are as follows:]

[Soldier: 5 points.]

Special units such as machine gunners and grenade launcher operators: 20 points.

[Sergeant: 30 points.]

[Sergeant: 50 points.]

[Sergeant: 100 points.]

[Second Lieutenant: 200 points.]

[Lieutenant: 500 points.]

[Captain: 800 points.]

[Major: 1000 points.]

[Lieutenant Colonel: 5000 points.]

[Colonel: 10000 points.]

[Major General: 50000 points.]

[Lieutenant General: 100000 points.]

[General: 200000 points.]

[Cabinet Minister: 300000 points.]

[Prince: 500000 points.]

[Emperor: 1000000 points.]

Zhou Tianyang's eyes lit up as he looked at the list.

A Japanese lieutenant general is worth 100,000 points.

His current score is 3458 points, and 100,000 points is almost thirty times his current score.

If I can defeat Kiyoshi Kazuki, I'll get those 100,000 points.

What can you do with 100,000 points?

It can be exchanged for more than 3,000 M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, enough to arm the entire Second New Regiment to the teeth.

It can be exchanged for 200 doses of physique enhancement liquid, enough to raise the physique of a group of over a thousand people to its peak.

You can exchange for a thousand skill inheritance cards, which can upgrade the marksmanship and combat skills of all the warriors in the team by several levels.

One hundred thousand points is enough for him to do a lot of things.

Zhou Tianyang's heart started racing.

But he quickly calmed down.

Taking down a Japanese lieutenant general is no easy task.

As the commander of the First Army, Kiyoshi Katsuki must be heavily guarded.

Let alone getting close, it wouldn't be easy to even approach his command post.

Moreover, he will definitely travel by plane to return to his home base after stepping down.

I took off from Taiyuan Airport, transferred in Beiping, and then flew back to Tokyo.

Zhou Tianyang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his mind racing.

Taiyuan Airport.

If he wanted to kill Kiyoshi Kazuki, his only chance was at Taiyuan Airport.

Before boarding the plane, Kiyoshi Kazuki must have spent some time in open areas.

If a suitable sniping position can be found.

It is possible to succeed in firing the shot when Kiyoshi Kazuki boards the plane.

The problem is that Taiyuan was under Japanese occupation.

The airport is definitely heavily guarded.

How did he find the right sniping position?

How do we retreat after we've finished fighting?

These are all problems.

Zhou Tianyang stood up, walked to the map hanging on the wall, and his gaze fell on the location of Taiyuan.

Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province, was the main base of the Japanese army in Shanxi.

The headquarters of the Japanese First Army was stationed there, along with a large number of troops.

Therefore, we need to outsmart them.

Zhou Tianyang stared at the map, his mind racing with various possibilities.

Then, his brows furrowed.

It's difficult, really difficult.
