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

"Triumphant! No wonder Lao Kong picked on the puppet army. This puppet army camp is so easy to attack! They have no fighting power at all. After a few shells, these idiots are on their knees."

Wei Zhuang, inside the Fourth Camp camp.

Wang Xikui said excitedly when he saw Zheng Kaixuan walking into the yard.

"We just fired dozens of artillery shells at the puppet army camp. Those idiots panicked and ran around like wild dogs. I led the soldiers and successfully captured Beiyangou with just one charge."

Zheng Kaixuan had actually known the news of the victory in Beiyangou a long time ago.

When the system rewarded Zheng Kaixuan with 350 Japanese epaulettes, Zheng Kaixuan already understood that Wang Xikui had won a great victory.

Zheng Kaixuan was not at all surprised by this matter.

"This time, I not only destroyed the Beiyangou puppet army camp, but also recruited over a hundred new soldiers from the local area..."

Wang Xikui was very excited.

After all, this was the first time he led troops to fight independently since he became the deputy battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion. He led more than 100 people to defeat a puppet army battalion of more than 500 people, and also recruited more than 100 new soldiers from the local area. This achievement was already very impressive.

"Triumph, you——"

Wang Xikui was about to talk about his recruitment process when he suddenly saw a large group of unfamiliar faces walking in from behind Zheng Kaixuan, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Are these the new recruits you recruited in Niujiayu?"

Zheng Kaixuan nodded.

"Wow! There must be about five or six hundred people here, right?"

Wang Xikui was extremely surprised. Compared with Zheng Kaixuan, the more than 100 people he recruited were really far behind in number.

"608 new brothers, Wang Fugui, go to the warehouse and get some cotton clothes to distribute to the brothers."

"Yes, battalion commander."

The Fourth Battalion consisted of those who initially came from the Third Battalion of the 772nd Regiment. They wore formal blue-gray uniforms of the Eighth Route Army. The newly recruited soldiers still did not have a unified standard uniform.

Generally speaking, everyone wore a cotton-padded jacket made of Japanese war materials inside their clothes, and a large cloth shirt made of simple coarse cloth outside.

What surprised Wang Xikui was yet to come.

When Chen Shengli and a company of soldiers carried more than 20 boxes of cash and 30 gold bars to the battalion headquarters, Wang Xikui almost dropped his teeth in shock.

"Triumph, those who knew about this thought you were going to the war, and some even thought you were going to rob the gold mine. How did you get so much money back?"

Chen Shengli laughed.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, we haven't taken all the money yet. We originally had over 300,000 yuan, and our Battalion Commander directly gave out over 100,000 yuan in Niujiayu. He was really generous..."

Zheng Kaixuan suddenly thought of a question.

Wang Xikui gave nothing to the more than 100 new recruits from Beiyangou.

If they are not treated equally, the soldiers will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

"Well, Wang Fugui, please arrange to give each soldier who participated in the Beiyangou battle 100 yuan."

"The soldiers who stayed in the camp were given 50 yuan each."

"Give each of the new soldiers from Beiyangou two hundred dollars each. Brother Xizi will personally send someone to do this."

"Also, after lunch, take a short break for these 700-plus recruits, and immediately get them into the ravine for training. Fire blanks as much as you can! Try to get them into combat effectiveness as soon as possible. The Sakata Regiment will be arriving soon."

Zheng Kaixuan arranged all the things that needed to be arranged in one breath.

Wang Xikui, Wang Fugui and several company commanders all got busy according to Zheng Kaixuan's orders.

The new recruits were also taken to the mountains to complete their training tasks, and the entire battalion headquarters compound suddenly became empty.

Zheng Kaixuan then returned to the large tiled houses that served as his office, bedroom, battalion command post, and warehouse.

He took out a cloth bag from behind and poured the bag, which was filled with more than 1,100 epaulettes, onto the bed.

"call!"

It was not until this time that Zheng Kaixuan let out a long sigh.

This time, the operation against the puppet army was finally a complete success. The 1,100 epaulettes in front of him also gave him more confidence to deal with the Sakata Regiment.

"More than a thousand epaulettes are still a bit too few."

Looking at the epaulettes in front of him, Zheng Kaixuan sighed.

He had originally managed to equip all the soldiers in the Fourth Battalion with semi-automatic rifles, but now with so many new soldiers, it would be much more difficult to equip them with semi-automatic rifles again.

After all, the total number of the Fourth Battalion has now reached 1,200 people, which is not much different from an ordinary regimental unit.

"The Fourth Battalion now has over 400 semi-automatic rifles. We won't be too disadvantaged in firepower against the Sakata Regiment. Our current main development direction is still focused on cutting-edge weaponry."

After careful consideration, Zheng Kaixuan made up his mind and began to upgrade weapons and equipment in batches.

Among his three modified equipment, the Triumph Mortar is the most powerful.

As of now, the 4th Battalion has a total of eight mortars.

One is a level 97 self-propelled Triumph mortar, three are level Triumph mortars, and four are Type ordinary mortars.

Zheng Kaixuan first upgraded the three level six Triumph mortars to level eleven.

[Ding, the host has consumed Japanese Sergeant Epaulettes x3, Japanese Sergeant Major Epaulettes x3, Japanese Special Agent Sergeant Major Epaulettes x3, Japanese Second Lieutenant Epaulettes x3, Japanese Lieutenant Epaulettes x3, and Japanese Captain Epaulettes x3. Successfully upgraded three Triumphal Mortars to level .]

The 6000th-level Triumph Mortar has six barrels, a range of up to meters, and can fire in full automatic bursts. Its firepower is very powerful.

Of course, to modify it to level 11, it must be modified based on a motorcycle.

Zheng Kaixuan has a motorcycle. The last time he eliminated the Japanese's supply transport unit, Zheng Kaixuan seized more than a dozen brand-new sidecar motorcycles from the Japanese's trucks. This time he used them to modify the eleventh-level self-propelled mortar.

Zheng Kaixuan converted the remaining four ordinary mortars into level 10 Triumph mortars.

After all, captain's epaulettes are rare items, and Zheng Kaixuan doesn't have many of them left.

When the war with Sakata begins, in addition to the cooperation of grenade launchers, grenade throwers and other troops, four level 10 guns will be deployed in fixed positions to carry out long-range firepower strikes.

The four self-propelled mortars can constantly seek opportunities while moving and destroy the enemy's important firepower.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Kaixuan turned his attention to the Hanyang-made fully automatic rifle.

"The self-propelled Hanyang rifles are quite useful during a charge. We must build seven or eight of them. As for the regular Hanyang fully automatic ones, we'll start by modifying two companies! The first and sixth companies will be turned directly into fully automatic rifle companies!"
