Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

When he returned to the monk's house, Lin Qiang found that there was no one inside, and his bedding and other things were neatly arranged, and the map was hung on the wall.

The overall layout is the same as the previous house, with almost no changes.

"Monk! Monk!"

I called out several times but there was no sign of the monk. I didn't know where he had moved his things.

That’s right, the monk gave his house to Lin Qiang, and the house was full of Lin Qiang’s things.

"This guy!"

He walked into the house, looked down at the time on his watch, and said to himself, "If everything goes well, Hu Zi and the others would have finished the battle by now."

This time, there was no sound of system reward, and Lin Qiang thought it was because he did not participate in this operation.

"It seems that I will have to personally participate in some large-scale operations in the future."

The system rewards are evaluated based on the size of the battle. If a Hundred Regiments Campaign could be organized, the rewards Lin Qiang would receive would be beyond his imagination.

But just as he finished speaking, the system's voice rang in his mind:

[The battle is over, and the evaluation is in progress...]

[Assessment completed, small-scale battle, casualty ratio 0:241!]

[Rewards: 3 resettlement camps, 1 super wind power station, 30 tons of various grains, 30 tons of vegetables and fruits, 10 tons of various medicines, 5 tons of medical supplies, 10 tons of cotton, 5 tons of fabric, and 100 sewing machines!]

[Centralized resettlement camp: After placement, it will form a village that can accommodate 1000 to 1500 people and can meet the most basic living conditions.]

[Super Wind Power Station: By converting wind power into electricity, the generated electricity is enough to supply electricity to a county town!]

What kind of weird reward is this?

Power station, resettlement camp, are they planning to develop the base into a permanent one?

From the very beginning, Lin Qiang regarded this place as a temporary base. No matter whether it returned to the independent regiment or established a new team, it could not be regarded as a base for sustainable development.

The Black Cloud Village has a dangerous terrain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but its flaws are also obvious. The terrain is not wide enough to accommodate too many people.

If the main mountain could be completely flattened, there would be enough space for construction and development.

But at the moment, it is almost impossible.

Unless the system can reward several terrain transformation cards, using all of them may be able to change this disadvantage.

If this can really be achieved, then it is not impossible for Heiyun Village to become a permanent base. With sufficient water sources and arable land, it is entirely possible to achieve sustainable and long-term development.

Lin Qiang didn't want to think too much about these things. He didn't know when the regiment commander Li Yunlong would issue an order to assemble the troops.

…………

Probably because he had changed rooms, Lin Qiang didn’t sleep well that night, and there was no sign of the monk.

It was not until the rooster crowed for the third time in the early morning that Lin Qiang fell into a drowsy sleep.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Platoon leader! Hu Zi and the others are back!"

The monk knocked loudly on the door. His deep voice was so penetrating that even though Lin Qiang had covered his head with the quilt, he was still awakened by the monk's words: "Got it! Get up immediately!"

This was the first time that Lin Qiang had not gotten up before ten o'clock. In the past, he always got up earlier than the bugler. Before the wakeup call was blown, Lin Qiang had already started his training.

The moment he opened the door, Lin Qiang thought he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes hard before he was sure that he was not seeing it wrong.

Today's training ground is filled not with soldiers in training, but with ordinary people who are pale, thin, ragged, and unkempt.

"This is……?"

Hu Zi was covered in blood, the bandages wrapped around his arms were stained red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said angrily, "Platoon Leader, let me explain to you!"

It turned out that on the way back after completing the mission, Hu Zi led his team to take a detour towards Ping'an County, fearing that they would encounter the Japanese reinforcements, and planned to return to the base through the defense zone of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

On the way, they encountered a group of Japanese soldiers escorting refugees. The Japanese soldiers gathered these people in a large pit that had been dug long ago, and then...

When Hu Zi and the others discovered this place, it was already full of corpses.

Some people tried to escape, but what awaited them were machine gun and rifle bullets.

It’s not that no one resisted, but their bodies were already shaky and they had difficulty walking. How could they have the strength to fight the fully armed Japanese with bare hands?

No Chinese with blood in his veins could bear to watch this kind of scene. Hu Zi immediately ordered the team to put down the captured spoils and launched a surprise attack on the Japanese.

With thorough training and the advantage of surprise, they successfully eliminated all the devils at the cost of only a dozen soldiers suffering minor injuries, and rescued the civilians from their clutches.

After Hu Zi finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and said, "Platoon Leader, I took the initiative to attack the Japanese and brought these people back to the base. No matter how you punish me, I will never say no!"

"But if you ask me to watch them being killed by the devils, I can't do it!"

Lin Qiang silently helped Hu Zi up from the ground. Only then did he understand why the system gave such a reward.

Looking at Hu Zi, Lin Qiang said seriously: "Fortunately you did this, otherwise if you come back and report to me, I will definitely not let you off easily!"

The purpose of a soldier's existence is to defend the country and protect the people from being harmed by the enemy.

Even if there are only a dozen people in the team, they will not hesitate to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese when they see such a thing.

Only traitors and running dogs can turn a blind eye.

"You did very well!"

Lin Qiang picked up Hu Zi's gun and handed it back to him.

From ancient times to the present, war has only made the people suffer more.

The refugee migration during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was recognized as "one of the largest mass migrations in human history!"

According to later statistics, the war launched by the Japanese devils created hundreds of millions of refugees!

These refugees are made up of many kinds of people, the largest of whom are civilians.

But compared with people from other classes, the common people would hide nearby and would not flee far away.

Leaving the place where they have lived for generations means giving up the only farmland that feeds their families. They have no means and will not even have enough to eat. The final outcome of their escape is that they almost all starve to death on the road.

Right now, the enemy and us are mainly in a state of confrontation. The Japanese want to occupy and consolidate the situation, so they are using large-scale...

In the eyes of the Japanese, this method can achieve the goal of eliminating future troubles.

The Japanese ambition has never been to invade, but to completely occupy and carry out a genocide plan.

This group of refugees was both miserable and lucky. At the moment of their death, they met the Eighth Route Army troops passing by.

As for those people who were not so lucky, their fate can be imagined.
