As soon as they met, Li Yunlong gave Li Jingrong a bear hug.

Li Jingrong pushed him away and said, "Brother Yunlong, there are actually more ways to express your enthusiasm than this."

Li Yunlong laughed heartily and said, "We are both men, this method is the most direct."

"What's up, brother Li? Did the Japanese do anything to you?"

"The monk told me everything after he came back. I didn't realize you were such a man at the critical moment. I, Old Li, underestimated you before."

Li Jingrong looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Why? How did you see me before?"

Li Yunlong's face was full of smiles.

"I used to think you were just like Lao Zhao, both pale-faced scholars."

"I didn't expect that all of you are so skilled in hiding, and your ability to fight the Japs is no worse than mine, Old Li."

"This time, your bombardment of the Japanese Taiyuan Airport has shocked the entire country. Let Lao Zhao come and talk to you."

Zhao Gang, standing by, also said with a smile, "Mr. Li, your deeds of bombarding Taiyuan Airport have now spread throughout the country, and have greatly inspired the confidence of the military and civilians in the fight against Japan."

"Both the National Government and the Second War Zone Headquarters sent telegrams praising our independent regiment."

"This time our independent regiment has benefited from your help."

Li Jingrong shook his head and chuckled, "This isn't just my fault. We're all working together to fight the Japs. We have only one common goal: to drive the Japs out of our land."

"I came to your independent group because I'm impressed by your abilities. You and I have gained a lot over this period of time."

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. Let's calculate the total bill of this business."

Li Yunlong was excited when he heard this. Even though he couldn't read all the words yet, he loved to settle accounts. After arriving at the regiment headquarters, the three of them sat together.

Li Jingrong took out a document and said, "This is the record of the battle at Taiyuan Airport. This time, we destroyed a total of 72 Japanese fighter planes and killed 118 Japanese pilots."

"It's so many." Zhao Gang exclaimed after hearing the number.

Even Li Yunlong, who was standing by, was stunned. They knew that Taiyuan Airport was destroyed, but they didn't know the specific results.

During the bombardment, Wei Heshang and the others were at the outer blocking positions, so only Li Jingrong confirmed the final results of the battle through the system.

The mission completion rate far exceeded 75%, which means that for each fighter plane, their independent regiment could obtain 30 tons of supplies or weapons and ammunition.

1名飞行员是10吨的武器弹药或者物资。72架战机那就是2100多吨,118名飞行员那就是1180吨,合计3340吨。

The annihilation of the Japanese 41st Regiment and the destruction of the Huting stronghold were also evaluated as perfect. The business was worth 200 tons, a total of 3540 tons.

This is what Li Yunlong and his team reaped, which may seem like a lot. But Li Jingrong actually received even more rewards. One fighter plane weighs 20 tons, and one pilot gets 10 tons.

72架战机那就是1440吨。1名飞行员就是1180吨。虎亭之战奖励100吨。再加上之前的320吨。

Currently, its carrying capacity has made a huge leap, directly increasing from 2740 tons to tons.

However, there aren't many such missions. Otherwise, if we could just attack a few more Japanese airfields, we'd be rich. We'd wait until the Japanese have repaired their airfields and then bomb them again.

It's a great place to brush up on your carry weight. It's much easier than completing the task with all the effort.

"Oh my god, I, Old Li, have made a fortune this time, a huge fortune." After hearing this number, Li Yunlong immediately became excited.

In his opinion, this was even more exciting than entering the bridal chamber. Over 3000 tons! If all of it were transported here, it would fill up the entire Chenjiayu.

When had his independent regiment ever been so wealthy? Li Yunlong was so excited, and Li Jingrong was not feeling any better at the moment.

The carrying weight has been increased to more than 2700 tons, so I can move a lot of things at one time.

I used to worry about how to manage the weight when I was carrying things. Now I can solve this problem all at once.

Li Jingrong asked, "How is it? Have you two decided what you want this time? This is over 3000 tons, you two should think carefully."

The two looked at each other, and Zhao Gang said, "Actually, we've already thought about it."

Li Jingrong looked at the two of them in surprise.

Zhao Gang continued, "Since last year, signs of drought have appeared across the country."

"From the beginning of this year to the beginning of spring, there has been very little rain. There is a high probability of a large-scale drought this year."

"So we want to store as much food as possible. Otherwise, when the drought really comes, our base and the people will starve."

At this time, Li Jingrong suddenly remembered something. He glanced at it while reading the materials about the Anti-Japanese War.

Starting in 41, a severe drought will hit both the north and south, reaching its peak in 43.

This drought will be centered in the Central Plains, extending south to southern Hunan, north to Yanjing, east to the sea, and west to Gansu Province.

In the Central Plains province alone, the number of people affected by the disaster reached 1000 million, and 300 million people died of starvation.

According to statistics, three of the ten major natural disasters of the 20th century occurred in China. Furthermore, all three were droughts, including the devastating drought that began in 1941. It's easy to imagine how severe this drought would be. At this moment, Li Jingrong's expression grew serious.

He nodded with a heavy expression and said, "Don't worry, I will purchase 2,500 tons of food as the first batch."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both breathed a sigh of relief. Two thousand tons of food was just a drop in the bucket for the millions of people in the base area.

But it could save many lives. Furthermore, the food crisis plaguing the Independence Regiment could be immediately resolved. The Independence Regiment could also expand further.

After he finished speaking, Li Yunlong came forward and said, "Brother Li, don't forget the big guns you promised me. You don't need many, just a few will be enough. My independent regiment won't need more."

He knew the strength of his own independent regiment. Even if Li Jingrong brought over ten or eight guns, he would not have so many artillery pieces to use.

But there were some at the headquarters. Even without a trace of the cannons, Li Yunlong had already started to think about attacking the headquarters.

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied this time."

They were just a few ordinary howitzers, not difficult for him at all. The reason he hadn't tried it before was because of the weight.

Back then, he calculated every pound, but now he could easily bring eight or ten tanks, not to mention a few cannons weighing several tons.

"Oh right!" Suddenly Li Yunlong remembered something and said to him with a serious face, "Brother, there is something important I need to tell you."

It was rare to see Li Yunlong with such a serious expression. He asked doubtfully, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"The deputy chief of staff at headquarters wants to come see you, and it seems he has something else to discuss with you."

Li Jingrong was shocked when he heard this. Was he finally going to meet the higher-ups?

Li Jingrong had always been quite resistant because he didn't want to get too involved in politics. But since the higher-ups wanted to see him, he couldn't be shy.

He also wanted to meet these great revolutionary heroes, but before that, he had to prepare some gifts.

As for what they wanted to talk to him about, Li Jingrong could vaguely guess it was nothing more than a transaction of supplies and weapons and equipment.

It just so happens that my carrying capacity has increased dramatically. Perhaps it's time to start large-scale trade with the Eighth Route Army, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say large-scale aid.

It is impossible to drive out the Japanese by relying on an independent regiment alone. To put it bluntly, Li Yunlong and his independent regiment are used to complete tasks and get rewards.

As for why the system only bound the task to Li Yunlong, he didn't know. Perhaps Li Yunlong was the protagonist of the Bright Sword spacetime.

This time, I have to go back and make some careful plans. That afternoon, Li Jingrong returned to the modern time and space. He was very tired from running back and forth these days.

Now he just wanted to have a good sleep and wait until he woke up. When he opened his phone, he saw 99+ messages and 99+ calls.

This puzzled him. Usually, my aunt knew I was going on a business trip and she never brought her phone.

So Song Qiulu would not contact him during his business trip. When he opened the message, he was a little amused.

It turned out that all these calls and messages were from Wei Wan'er. She was bombarding him with deadly messages and phone calls because she couldn't contact him.

Li Jingrong shook his head helplessly after seeing this and sent a message directly.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll contact you."

After sending it, he fell asleep without paying any more attention. Meanwhile, Wei Wan'er was having dinner with some friends.

When she heard the VX reminder tone from her phone, she just glanced at it. Suddenly, her whole body was shocked and she quickly picked up the phone.

His eyes were filled with joy and anticipation. However, when he saw the news, the smile that had just appeared on his face immediately disappeared.
