Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Kalimantan Island,

As the sun rises, its golden light shines on a vast barren land, and a grand project to transform nature is about to begin.

Five huge excavators stood steadily like steel giants. Their bodies were painted in striking yellow paint, shining with metallic luster under the sun. In the cockpit, the driver was concentrating, manipulating the joystick with both hands skillfully.

As the engine roared, the excavator's mechanical arm slowly rose up, like a giant arm with infinite power. The bucket at the end opened and closed, and the sharp teeth of the bucket dug deep into the hard ground. With a "crunch", the bucket suddenly exerted force, and a large piece of a mixture of tree roots and soil was pulled out from the embrace of Mother Earth.

Then, the robotic arm turned gracefully in the air, and the bucket moved accurately to above a truck, dumping a full bucket of earth and rocks down, making a "rustling" sound and raising a cloud of dust.

To the south of the excavator operation area, three bulldozers were also busy. Their broad and heavy tracks slowly turned, and each step was steady and powerful. The bulldozers' huge blades were like an indestructible shield, flat against the ground, moving forward.

Wherever they went, dense vegetation was uprooted, rocks of varying sizes were ruthlessly crushed and pushed away, and the waves of soil pushed up were like surging tides, constantly piling up and rolling along the arc of the shovel.

Wearing a dusty safety helmet, Wu Zhengping stood next to a roaring bulldozer, directing his men to reclaim wasteland.

Due to the unlimited acquisition of Xinyue Company,

Haizhou's rubber business is booming.

There is simply not enough supply to meet the demand.

Lei Zhi’s rubber plantation order alone was signed for three years!

Lei Zhi and his brother Lei Tianyi discussed and decided to reclaim another 500 acres of wasteland!

The island of Kalimantan is huge, but the terrain is rugged and there are many mountains. Reclaiming wasteland is not an easy task!

But now it’s different.

After Cheng Yue began to secretly control Haizhou,

Due to the South China Sea region, a large number of British ships were transferred to North Korea, and a large gap appeared in the entire sea area!

Cheng Yue has quietly resumed trade with Zhanjiang Port, of course, quietly entering and leaving the port at night! To be cautious, the freighter also flew the flags of some other neighboring countries!

In addition to continuing to sell various light industrial products from Zhanjiang, Xinyue Company under Cheng Yue has also launched a new batch of construction machinery, including excavators, bulldozers, forklifts, trucks, etc., and provided machinery rental services, which have been favored by farmers in Haizhou!

With this batch of construction machinery, large-scale earthwork projects such as land reclamation are no longer difficult tasks!

The piece of wasteland reclaimed by Lei Zhi is right next to the south of his own rubber plantation. Anyway, there are plenty of wastelands on the entire island of Kalimantan. After a large number of construction machinery poured into Haizhou, almost all rubber plantations began to expand their areas frantically!

Busan, South Korea,

The cold wind was biting and the leaden clouds were hanging low, adding a sense of solemnity to the already tense and austere atmosphere.

Outside the headquarters of the U.S. 8th Army, a group of soldiers stood stiffly in line, their faces shrouded in fatigue and confusion from the war. They had experienced repeated defeats, their morale was low, and they shivered in the cold wind, but their eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation for the arrival of the new commander.

Several jeeps drove up at lightning speed and stopped steadily in front of the headquarters building. The new commander, General Ridgway, stepped down from the jeeps quickly. His straight uniform was spotless, and the two hand grenades hanging on his chest were particularly eye-catching, as if to announce his fearless fighting spirit to everyone.

He was agile, and his sharp and determined eyes scanned the soldiers around him like a hawk. His fierce aura made the soldiers unconsciously straighten their backs. Ridgway strode towards the headquarters building, and the sound of his soles hitting the ground was crisp and powerful.

Inside the headquarters, Ridgway walked into the office and shook hands with the staff officers who greeted him.

Then, he walked straight to the table, sat down quickly, and began to look through the piles of documents and combat reports. His brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes slightly frowned, and he was fully immersed in the analysis of the current battle situation and troop conditions.

Not long after, Ridgway strode into the headquarters' conference room. Generals at all levels were already sitting upright, and the atmosphere in the conference room was depressing and quiet.

He stood in front of the huge map, his eyes as sharp as torches, slowly scanning everyone present. The only sound in the entire conference room was his steady and powerful breathing.

Then, his loud and firm voice broke the silence, "Our 8th Army must not retreat blindly! We must regain our confidence and our will to fight! At the right time, we must not hesitate to launch a counterattack!" His words were so powerful that they echoed in the conference room for a long time.

"Starting from me, every officer must lead by example and fight alongside the soldiers when the battle begins!" The generals straightened their backs, with new fighting spirit in their eyes, as if they had been injected with a shot of adrenaline. The arrival of the new commander allowed the entire 8th Army to see a ray of hope in the haze.

According to the meeting agenda,

Chief of Staff William reported first.

He walked over to the map.

"Commander, after the Volunteer Army launched two offensives, we were forced to retreat to the south bank of the Imjin River. In order to resist the Chinese attack, we have set up three lines of defense from the Imjin River to Busan!

The first line of defense is composed of the South Korean Capital Division, the 3rd Division, and the 7th Division! The British 5th Brigade, the British 6th Brigade, the Australian 1st Infantry Division, and the Turkish Battalion! "

After the two battles, the South Korean army had suffered multiple devastating blows from the Volunteer Army, and 60% of its manpower had been consumed. At the request of the United States, the British and Australian armies very actively dispatched a large number of troops to participate in the war and fill the vacancies of the South Korean army!

"The second line of defense runs from Seoul to Gangneung, and is composed of the 28th Brigade of the British Royal Army, the 2nd Division of the Australian Army, and the 6th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Divisions of the US Army!

The third line of defense is located outside Busan, and is composed of the British Marines, the 1st and 4th Armored Divisions, and the 15th, 16th, 18th, and 22nd Infantry Divisions of the US Army! "

Ridgway nodded.

"Everyone, this time, the country has mobilized 10 brand new divisions to enter North Korea, and all the troops that were severely damaged in the early stage have been transferred away! Like me, you are facing the Volunteer Army for the first time, and you don't have any psychological burden. Let's start from scratch and take every battle seriously!"

There was prolonged and enthusiastic applause in the conference room!

"My request is that you cannot take another step back. We must not be driven into the sea. This armistice negotiation will last until we complete the deployment of our troops. The counterattack will be up to you!"
