Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Lin Tian was quite excited when he returned to his office after dinner. Today he saw the brand new look of Division 1. The feeling of commanding an elite army made Lin Tian immersed in it.

A combat unit of more than 10,000 people. Just think about it, he dared to take on a Japanese brigade with more than 700 people, and dared to take on 50,000 Japanese soldiers with more than 4,000 people. What kind of courage and bravery did he have?

He now has more than 10,000 people under his command, and a flying brigade. With this configuration, there are planes sweeping the ground from above and tanks charging below.

It would be unacceptable to make a big fuss without careful planning.

Ping'an County is Lin Tian's biggest concern. If he sets out, the Japanese will send reinforcements from Ping'an County to attack his base camp, and will also pose a threat to other bases of the Eighth Route Army.

But if he went to attack Ping'an County first, then Qucheng, which had just been recovered, would be in danger of being overthrown. Moreover, if the Japanese made a huge effort to annihilate him, they would definitely be dragged around Ping'an County. The Japanese would launch a large-scale attack from the direction of Qucheng, and he would find it difficult to hold on under the pincer attack from both sides.

This was also the concern raised by the division commander when we were at the headquarters.

Fortunately, the headquarters is now setting up a trap for the Japanese. As long as Ping'an County can be liberated in one fell swoop, Lin Tian will have no worries and can let go and do a great job.

If he wins a few more great battles, Lin Tian will be able to liberate the entire Shanxi Province.

No man can resist the temptation of recovering the country and making it into history.

"Commander, are you there?"

Just as Lin Tian was thinking, someone outside the door woke him up.

"Oh, it's you. Come in!"

Lin Tian looked up and saw that it was Feng Li and Wu Xiuwen. He immediately invited them in.

"Haha, Commander, we are here to report our work!"

"Yes, Commander, you were busy reviewing the troops today. Our mines and arsenals have been built. We heard that you were back last night, so we were going to report on our work. However, considering that the commander came back too late and needed to rest, we did not come..."

Feng Li and Wu Xiuwen looked at each other and smiled.

"Hey, come on, I'm just about to look for you two!"

"How is it, can it be put into production?!"

"Also, Feng Li, I have specially borrowed 30 military masters from the headquarters this time. They have experience and can help the arsenal produce quickly!"

Lin Tian realized that he had indeed neglected it today. He was only concerned with feeling the combat effectiveness of the troops and why he didn't go to the mine and arsenal to take a look.

"Report to the commander! The mine is ready. I have also explored the mineral deposits under the base. However, our mine lacks mechanical equipment. We can only rely on manpower, and we don't have manpower... We can only rely on recruiting workers nearby, but this kind of manual mining is too dangerous, and the output is also a drop in the bucket."

"So... I want to ask the commander if there is any way to get a batch of mining equipment..."

Wu Xiuwen looked embarrassed. He was almost turning gray with worry during this period of time.

The commander had prepared everything for him, but he couldn't mine any ore. This was a disappointment to the commander's high hopes.

Seeing that the combat troops and other facilities were thriving, Wu Xiuwen became anxious and had to come to Lin Tian for help.

"This problem is easy to solve, Xiuwen. There are many mines in Datong, and the devils also have mining equipment!"

"What's the saying? If we don't have guns or cannons, the enemy will make them for us!"

"It's the same principle. If we don't have the equipment, the Japanese will give it to us. If we don't have the manpower, the Japanese will do it!"

"How about this, I'll deliver the equipment to you after a while, and there will also be a lot of free labor. Hahahaha, don't worry!"

Lin Tian thought for a moment and came up with a solution.

This was indeed his carelessness. The system only rewarded him with mineral deposits but no mining equipment.

The troops have to fight, they certainly can't go mining.

The safety of fellow villagers is very important and they must not be left in dangerous mine tunnels. Moreover, mining by manpower is too slow and produces too little.

It just so happens that I am planning to take action against Datong, which has everything there.

Not to mention the equipment, there is also a lot of labor.

It seems that he has to make an exception this time. In the past, he always instructed his troops not to take any Japanese prisoners, but he can't do that this time. It would be too easy for them to kill them all.

In this regard, the Russian approach is more satisfying.

Lin Tian decided to capture more prisoners and bring them back to the mine tunnel for him to mine, which could be regarded as making the best use of their resources.

The lives of the Japanese are not worth living. When they die, they are buried in the fields in the back mountain, so that we can harvest a few more bags of grain next year.

To deal with a nation like the Japs, you have to be especially cruel to them. Only then will they fear you from the bottom of their hearts and submit to you sincerely.

If you treat him a little bit nicely, the Japanese will take advantage of you and start thinking of rebelling.

To put it bluntly, this kind of personality is mean.

This is the treatment a bitch deserves, and only then will he be happy.

"Really, Commander?! That's great, thank you so much, Commander!"

"Now I feel relieved. Oh, I was so worried these past few days!"

When Wu Xiuwen heard Lin Tian's words, she almost jumped up with joy.

Once the mining problem is solved, everything will be easy.

"What about Feng Li? Has our arsenal encountered any problems?"

Lin Tian solved Wu Xiuwen's problem and turned to ask Feng Lidao.

"Report to the commander, there is no problem with the arsenal!"

"We have the equipment, personnel, and raw materials. The arsenal will start production tomorrow!"

"I just wanted to report my work to the commander, and I happened to run into Old Wu, so we came together!"

"We plan to produce Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, 107mm rocket launchers, and Czech light machine guns first! Hehe, this is also the plan made by the commander!"

"These weapons and equipment are simple in structure, easy to produce, and suitable for the current situation of the Eighth Route Army!"

Feng Li grinned and spoke while gesturing with his hands.

Thinking back to the time when he had no place to apply all he had learned throughout his life, he felt so miserable. Only then did he understand what it felt like to have talent but not be recognized.

I didn't expect that he would be the director of an arsenal today. What a twist of fate.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment he produces are quite advanced. How can we not be excited?

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with this plan!"

"Feng Li, I'll leave the arsenal to you. When our technology matures, I'll have a big gift for you!"

Lin Tian smiled mysteriously. He thought of several magical artifacts from later generations, all of which were simple in structure and easy to imitate.

It’s just that there is no such concept in this era.

"Commander, what is this gift?!"

Feng Li's eyes lit up when he heard this. The gift the commander mentioned was definitely not simple.

Lin Tian chose to keep it a secret for now, which would also further motivate the productivity of the arsenal: "Haha, you'll know when the time comes! You guys start working first. At your speed, you should be able to get this great gift in a month!"
