A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

[Ding! The system has added a new attribute: the number of enemies killed by the platoon leader will be counted towards the epaulette statistics.]

Zheng Kaixuan was quite satisfied with this first newly added attribute.

Although the system has not yet counted the number of enemies killed by all the soldiers in the battalion into the epaulettes, even if it counts the platoon leader, it is enough for him to obtain the epaulettes several times faster than before.

He can’t handle the number of platoon leaders under him!

His battalion has ten companies, each company has three platoon leaders, while other battalions only have nine platoon leaders. He has a total of thirty platoon leaders under his command.

There are also thirty deputy platoon leaders and ten deputy company commanders, which means that now these eighty people can all obtain the Japanese epaulettes for him.

[Ding, the system has added a new property: Epaulettes can be exchanged for blanks. The exchange rate is 1:10,000 for bullets and 1:1,000 for shells. There are no restrictions on epaulette level or ammunition type.]

"System, give you a thumbs up!"

Zheng Kaixuan sincerely felt that this newly added second attribute was really good.

To be honest, the Fourth Battalion has not yet formed real combat effectiveness. Every time it fights, it relies on Zheng Kaixuan to plan and attack the enemy by surprise.

All thanks to the bravery of the company commanders, their leading the charge, their sophisticated weapons and the soldiers' fearlessness of death.

In fact, most of the soldiers do not have strong tactical skills, their shooting skills are not good at all, and they are not very proficient in mastering new weapons.

Many soldiers had just joined the 4th Battalion and had only experienced one or two battles. When they encountered some unfamiliar situations on the battlefield, they were inevitably a little at a loss.

The fastest way to make soldiers fight effectively is through training besides actual combat!

With blank bullets, the combat effectiveness of soldiers and the level of coordination between various units can be maximized without harming the soldiers.

One shoulder strap can be exchanged for 10,000 blank bullets or 1,000 blank artillery shells. This is such a good deal, it's a huge profit.

Zheng Kaixuan immediately decided to launch a military training program!

"Then, let's start with 100 million blank rounds and 5 blank shells."

A total of 150 shoulder straps of ordinary Japanese soldiers were scratched off by the system, and Zheng Kaixuan felt a little painful.

[Ding, blank ammunition exchange successful.]

[Ding, the blank shell has been exchanged successfully. Please select the placement location.]

Zheng Kaixuan looked around the room. Although there was a lot of space in the barracks, if all these things were thrown here now, there would be no way to explain their source.

Fifty thousand artillery shells alone could fill up the battalion headquarters.

"Then we can put it out tomorrow, okay?"

[Ding, no problem.]

In fact, Zheng Kaixuan had already thought of a good location for the launch, but it was late and freezing outside, so there was no need to rush.

In the blink of an eye, half of the epaulettes were gone. Looking at the remaining epaulettes, Zheng Kaixuan fell into deep thought.

Whether to upgrade equipment first or exchange ammunition first is a very difficult question.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Kaixuan decided to upgrade his equipment first.

Only the Hanyang fully automatic rifle in his hand was modified to level 11. Most other ordinary soldiers still used the Type 38 rifle during the war, which was still very inconvenient.

At the very least, we should first provide each ordinary soldier with a semi-automatic rifle, right?

But it was obvious that he really couldn't do it now.

“There are still too few epaulettes.”

Zheng Kaixuan sighed, took out another hundred shoulder straps of ordinary Japanese soldiers, and modified them into fifty second-level Hanyang semi-automatic rifles.

Although semi-automatic cannot be compared with fully automatic, it is enough to form fire suppression and gain absolute advantage when facing the Type 38 rifles in the hands of ordinary Japanese soldiers.

Now, the 80th Battalion has a total of more than 30 semi-automatic and fully automatic rifles.

Zheng Kaixuan decided to first equip all these weapons to Chen Shengli's first company and Xin Qiankun's sixth company, which were responsible for the battlefield charge.

They are the spearhead assault company and need the most powerful firepower.

As for the other companies, we will wait until we win the next battle and then gradually and comprehensively modernize their weapons one by one.

Zheng Kaixuan replaced the remaining fifty or so epaulettes with artillery shells, except for a few epaulettes of Japanese captains and majors.

After all, the truth is always only within the range of cannons.

The Japanese soldiers were given twenty shoulder straps in exchange for thirty artillery shells.

Twenty Japanese non-commissioned officer shoulder straps in exchange for sixty artillery shells.

Ten Japanese lieutenant officer shoulder straps in exchange for one hundred artillery shells.

There were a total of 190 powerful Triumph mortar shells, and Zheng Kaixuan felt that this was enough to support a battle.

After all, if he himself also joined the battle, he could exchange artillery shells for the Japanese on the battlefield, which would be enough to offset his consumption in the battle.

The Fourth Battalion now has a total of four Triumph mortars, including four Type 97 mortars captured from the Japanese garrison in Dazhai Town.

There are ten Triumph grenade throwers and more than eighty ordinary grenade launchers.

Ordinary mortars and grenade launchers have a lot of shells, and these weapons can also be used to assist in close combat and exert great power.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for upgrading three pieces of initial magic-modified equipment to level 11. Main quest: Upgrade three pieces of initial magic-modified equipment to level 12.]

The initial modified equipment is the first piece of equipment for each weapon modified by Zheng Kaixuan.

In fact, it is not difficult to reach level 12.

Zheng Kaixuan still had three captain's epaulettes and two major's epaulettes.

Only three Major epaulettes are needed to upgrade these three initial modified equipment to level 12.

However, Zheng Kaixuan was not anxious or impulsive.

He planned to collect three major shoulder straps and then upgrade them all at once.

After all, each of the major's shoulder straps is very useful. Carrying these two on him is like carrying a mobile ammunition depot, which he can take out and exchange for ammunition at any time to deal with any emergency.

In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.

After running around all day, I felt really exhausted.

By this time, Zheng Kaixuan's upper and lower eyelids had begun to fight each other.

The earthen kang was already warm. Zheng Kaixuan lifted the quilt and fell asleep quickly in no time.

The next morning, Zheng Kaixuan got up early.

Although he is now a battalion commander and no one objects to him getting up late, Zheng Kaixuan still maintains the good habit of getting up early every day from his previous life.

After washing his face with cool water and rinsing his mouth with the toothpaste seized from the Japanese, Zheng Kaixuan immediately felt refreshed.

It's time to deal with the blank ammunition issue.

Zheng Kaixuan had already made up his mind.

Let the soldiers train with blank ammunition as early as possible to improve their combat effectiveness, so that they will never suffer any loss when encountering the Japanese in the future.

He immediately saw the Fifth Company Commander Song Pengcheng, who had also gotten up early and was practicing boxing at the camp entrance.

"Fifth Captain, come here for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."
