He also wanted to give Kong Jie some weapons and equipment, but he really didn't have any.

The family's assets were emptied by the brigade commander and the headquarters.

Especially after being tricked by the deputy commander-in-chief and the brigade commander last time.

The weapons and equipment that Li Jingrong gave to Kong Jie this time were not many, but they were not few either.

其中1000枝SKS半自动步枪,20挺PKM通用机枪,6门82mm无后坐力炮,6门60mm和82mm迫击炮。

The ammunition provided is quite sufficient, enough to fight several medium to large battles.

As for more advanced weapons, he did not intend to provide large-scale assistance except for the independent regiment.

It’s okay for him to be in charge of the independent regiment, but he is not very confident about leaving it to other troops.

After all, whether it is the SKS semi-automatic or the mortar, it is completely sufficient for the current Eighth Route Army.

Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and put down the phone call from the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters.

His proposal to launch another large-scale raid was again rejected by Commander Okamura Yasuji.

The reason is that there is currently a shortage of supplies and manpower.

There are no other explanations.

However, his request for weapons to build bunkers and artillery towers was approved.

Since a large-scale sweep was not possible, we would build bunkers and artillery towers on a large scale, and connect all the artillery towers with transportation lines to form a network.

Once a turret is attacked, reinforcements will come from all directions through the transportation network.

For the Eighth Route Army, which lacked artillery and siege weapons, the artillery tower could play a good blockade role.

Generally, one artillery tower can block a large area.

However, the independent regiment caused him a lot of headaches.

The destruction of the 4th Brigade has made the headquarters very dissatisfied with him.

If he suffers heavy losses again this time, he will be sent to the reserve force.

This is absolutely unbearable for an ambitious general.

So this time he sent an entire regiment of troops to garrison Huting.

In order to keep an eye on Li Yunlong, he specially strengthened the artillery strength of this regiment this time.

An artillery battalion from the 14th Division Artillery Regiment accompanied them.

In addition to the 41st Regiment, Ling County also received reinforcements.

It is also a regiment of troops, but it is only a second-line force.

Although the combat effectiveness is not very strong, it is still enough to deal with the Chinese army.

As a large amount of supplies arrived, artillery towers began to be built around Ling County.

"Sir, I have found an important piece of information."

Just at this time, Yamamoto Ikki came to Yoshio Shinozuka's office.

"Oh? Tell me."

After hearing that there was important information, Yoshio Shinozuka also became interested.

Yamamoto Ikki handed him a document and said, "I know why the independent regiment has so many weapons and equipment. It's all because of one person. This also confirms our previous speculation."

Upon hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio stood up and asked, "Who is it?"

"Dark blue!"

Yamamoto Ikki uttered two words.

"This is also the information the Special High Section learned from within the Eighth Route Army."

"It is because of this man's assistance that the Independent Regiment has such excellent weapons and equipment to fight against the Imperial Army."

"The military train robbery and the Battle of Wolf Valley were both caused by this person, which led to heavy losses for the empire."

Upon hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka was already furious.

"Have you found out his identity? I'm going to kill him with a knife."

Yamamoto Ikki shook his head and said, "Not yet, but we will continue to investigate."

Yoshio Shinozuka was still very confident in his abilities.

I think it won't be long before he knows who the real enemy is.

"Yamamoto-kun, have you noticed something strange happening at the base camp recently?"

In response to Yoshio Shinozuka's question, Yamamoto Kazuki also expressed his own guess.

"General, if my guess is correct, the Empire should be preparing to open a second battlefield."

Shinozuka Yoshio was shocked when he heard this and asked in surprise, "Open a second battlefield? Where is the second battlefield?"

Yamamoto Ikki said with certainty: "The second battlefield is only Southeast Asia, because apart from China, only here can we find the resources the empire needs."

"Whether it's food, minerals or even oil, we have it all here."

"The general should have noticed this. Recently, the headquarters has begun to plunder various resources in China."

"At the same time, the number of troops and resources being deployed to China has been decreasing, so they are definitely preparing for a larger war."

I have to say that Yamamoto Ikki's strategic vision is still very strong.

He actually saw through the base camp's intentions at a glance.

Yoshio Shinozuka hurried to the map and looked in the direction of Southeast Asia.

"But Southeast Asia had long been divided up and plundered by Western powers, leaving no room for an empire."

“Could it be…?”

Having said that, Yoshio Shinozuka was shocked by the thoughts that emerged in his mind.

He took a deep breath and sat back in his seat.

After a long pause, he said, "Yamamoto-kun, you go down first. Your most important task now is to find that Deep Blue and then carry out the decapitation operation."

"Otherwise, every day he exists will provide the Eighth Route Army with more resources, which will be very disadvantageous to the Empire's occupation of China."

Yamamoto Ikki nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, General. I will dig him out and eliminate the empire's great enemy!"

There is no doubt that this deep blue poses a threat to the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi.

An independent regiment is already so difficult to deal with.

If the entire Eighth Route Army were equipped with these new weapons of the Independent Regiment.

Then it was only a matter of time before they were driven out of western Shanxi.

After Chen Jiayu and Li Jingrong assembled the assault team, they headed towards Taiyuan, more than a hundred kilometers away.

This mission is very difficult for the assault brigade.

It was not an easy task to break through the Japanese army's layers of defense and penetrate into the vicinity of Taiyuan.

Li Yunlong planned to launch an attack on the Japanese Huting stronghold a week later.

Crossing a hundred kilometers of Japanese-occupied territory in a week was a challenge for the assault brigade.

Fortunately, with Li Jingrong here, the difficulty is greatly reduced.

"Everyone just needs to travel light. I have already prepared the weapons and equipment in Taiyuan."

At this time, Li Jingrong was very grateful for the time and space node he had placed in Taiyuan before.

He only remembered this matter a few days ago.

Without any equipment, if everyone travels light, it only takes 45 days to reach Taiyuan.

Looking at Li Jingrong and others in the distance, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang beside him, "Old Zhao, how are the preparations going?"

"Don't worry, the soldiers' morale is very high, and there are plenty of ammunition and supplies. As long as nothing unexpected happens, everything will go according to plan."

After hearing what Zhao Gang said, Li Yunlong felt relieved.

In another place, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong also watched the departing assault team from afar.

"Commander, what do you think they're going to do? I've heard that this assault brigade is no ordinary one."

"Although this assault brigade only has a little over 100 members, they are all made up of veterans of the independent regiment, and their equipment is the best in the regiment."

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "How would I know what they're going to do specifically, but I know Li Yunlong will make a move next."

Fang Ligong asked curiously, "How did you figure that out, Commander?"

Chu Yunfei grinned and said, "I said before, I won't let anyone sleep peacefully beside my bed. If I'm guessing correctly, Li Yunlong can't help but attack the Japanese devils in Huting."

Fang Ligong suddenly realized, "I was wondering why the independent regiment has been acting strangely lately. If this is the case, then it makes sense."

"So you think he'll take us with him?"

Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "You'll see. In less than two days, he will call us."

Li Jingrong, on the other hand, adopted the method of hiding during the day and coming out at night.

Sleep during the day and travel at night.

Relying on the military drone in Li Jingrong's hand, it was easy to avoid the Japanese's sight.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way, and all 128 people arrived at the camp prepared for them by Li Jingrong in Wulonggou.

This camp was also prepared by Li Jingrong at Umbrella Corporation. All the necessary weapons, ammunition, supplies, etc. are stocked here.

After this period of development, Umbrella Corporation has become the largest pharmaceutical supplier in the northern region.

Among them, Umbrella’s most representative drug is artemisinin.

This effective drug for treating malaria has brought Umbrella Corporation terrifying wealth.

It brings in at least one million yuan in revenue every month.

From this we can see how profitable modern medicines are in this time and space.

Artemisinin is very cheap nowadays.

But in the Republic of China era, it could be easily sold at a price dozens of times higher.

In addition to artemisinin, there are some other common medicines.

However, common medicines are only for modern time and space, and many of the medicines he brought are special medicines for this era.

This is why Umbrella Corporation has been able to develop so rapidly.

Even the Japanese army spent a lot of real money to buy artemisinin.

When Li Jingrong heard the news, he knew that the Japanese were going to attack Southeast Asia.

Because for the Japanese, this thing can only be used in the jungles of Southeast Asia, where malaria is prevalent.

Neither the Western powers nor the Japanese are good people. Just let them fight each other.

After Umbrella Corporation developed to a certain extent.

Under Duncans' management, the company began to establish branches in major cities.

Among them, there is an Umbrella branch in Taiyuan, which mainly serves the northwest market.

This camp was arranged by the Taiyuan branch.

Four days later!

After Li Jingrong and others followed the marks and entered a dense forest, they saw a camp not far ahead.

The trees here are relatively sparse and it is a high-lying area.

The dense trees around it block the outside view, making it more suitable for small troops to hide.
