It’s not that Chu Feng is arrogant. The 1st Independent Brigade will definitely expand after this battle.

By then, the number of troops under his control would be at least 60,000 to 70,000.

The army now has more than 200 artillery pieces with a caliber of 100 mm or above.

Below 100 mm, above 60 mm, including 60 mm, there are hundreds of them.

Coupled with thousands of light and heavy machine guns, tanks and armored vehicles, and hundreds of aircraft, 100,000 Japanese soldiers were really not enough. If the Japanese wanted to sweep the area, they would need at least 4 divisions and more than 20,000 puppet troops, totaling more than 100,000 Japanese and puppet troops.

As for the planes, there must be at least 300 to 500 of them, otherwise they would just be delivering food to the flight base. Only when these conditions were met would Chu Feng feel a little pressured.

Very satisfied with these 150 light howitzers, Chu Feng's gaze continued to move back, looking at the remaining rewards.

"Large-scale auto repair shop: This is a large-scale auto repair shop with more than 600 different types of machinery and 1500 repair workers and technicians."

Looking at the system's explanation, Chu Feng nodded slightly: "This reward is not bad. Although the repair shop is not a car manufacturer and has no experience in car manufacturing, the supporting equipment and personnel are all serving the automotive industry."

"A large auto repair shop, with ample equipment, skilled workers, and technicians, plus a full set of parts for 1000 Jiefang trucks, these two things combined can be considered the seeds of the auto industry."

"Although we are not very strong and do not have a whole line of supporting factories for the automotive industry, we are not picky. We can first train a group of skilled and capable people through auto repair and assembly, and then develop slowly in the future."

"After the aviation industry, the petroleum industry, the military industry, the textile industry, and the pharmaceutical industry, I now have an automotive industry under my control. Even if it's just a prototype, it's pretty good."

Chu Feng was very satisfied with the result. Now that he was penniless, the only thing he could do was to rely on the system rewards to accumulate wealth and technical talents bit by bit.

"We have a lot of funds on hand, so we'll see if we can buy a number of production lines and equipment from abroad to continuously improve our industrial capabilities."

"Especially now that there is no machinery factory, this is also a natural disadvantage. If we can build a machinery factory, we can slowly produce and imitate it."

Speaking of this, Chu Feng, who was originally very happy, couldn't help but sigh: "The road ahead is long and arduous!"

"China's foundation is too weak, almost non-existent."

"I need to increase my efforts to raise funds. I need to walk on two legs. On the one hand, I rely on the fragmented rewards provided by the system to plant seeds in various industries. On the other hand, I will purchase production lines and technologies from abroad to strengthen and nourish these seeds."

After sighing, Chu Feng continued to look down: "One thousand sewing machines, paired with 100 mid-level tailors, and combined with the machinery and equipment from the small textile factory we acquired earlier, the strength of the textile industry has been further strengthened."

"With these sewing machines, 100 experienced craftsmen and 10 rolls of cotton cloth, we can start making uniforms for the troops. Once the new recruits are trained, all 1000 sewing machines will be put to use. This will allow us to set up two or three garment factories."

"At the very least, the textile industry is the first industrial sector to complete a closed loop."

Having said that, Chu Feng paused slightly and looked at the last valuable reward.

"Medium-sized steel rolling mill: This is a steel rolling mill with 14 production lines, more than 300 pieces of various machines, and 5500 skilled workers, technical workers, research teams, and engineers."

Looking at the introductory information provided by the system, he said, "With a steel rolling mill, we have the ability to process steel, which will greatly enhance the development of the steel industry."

"In addition to these machines and production lines, our 5500 skilled workers and technicians are also our treasures."

"There's no shortage of raw materials either. The system has rewarded us with 500 tons of steel ingots, 500 tons of iron ingots, and 200 tons of copper ingots. These can be processed directly."

"It seems that the establishment of a department to oversee these factories is imminent."

"We can no longer let them fight on their own. We must conduct a preliminary integration and allow them to develop under a plan."

"By the way, we also need to list the problems that need to be solved urgently and the equipment that needs to be introduced and purchased. At the same time, we need to conduct a thorough investigation of all the machinery and equipment to have a clear understanding of them."

With the decision made, Chu Feng had a plan in mind for the next work. He planned to take charge personally, and the problems of the army could be left to Ge Dayong and Wang Tiezhu.

"System, I want to withdraw all rewards!"

He took a quick look at the last 5000 sets of military radio parts and 10,000 Ili horses and chose to withdraw them directly.

There is no need to ask about the radio station, it is the guarantee of communication for the troops.

5000 sets of parts require a radio factory to assemble them.

As for the 10,000 Ili horses? He planned to build a cavalry brigade. Although there were a large number of cars, tanks and assault guns, horses were still an important material that could not be ignored in today's China.

The cavalry brigade still has strong combat effectiveness in China, especially in the vast mountainous and plain areas such as Suiyuan Province, Chahar Province, and Rehe Province. Its mobility and passability cannot be underestimated.

"Ding Dong! Host, all supplies and related personnel have been retrieved and will be delivered in 72 hours!"

The system's prompt sound was still very timely. Chu Feng listened to the system prompt sound, looked at the empty inventory, and with a satisfied smile on his face, he exited the system space on an impulse.

Celebrate! Clean up the battlefield!

This is the main task of the entire Independent 1st Brigade, the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the 1st Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. Even though the moon is hidden today, it cannot stop everyone's enthusiasm. There are busy figures with torches everywhere in the mountains and forests.

At the North China Front Army Headquarters, General Terauchi Hisaichi slumped in a chair, with many Japanese soldiers and senior officers of the puppet army sitting on his left and right. The room was dead silent.

Just a few minutes ago, they received a farewell telegram from the last group of Japanese and puppet troops, which was sent by the 57th Division.

This was the second farewell telegram they received in one day.

When they saw this telegram, they knew that the last group of Japanese and puppet troops were finished, and the 57th Division was finished.

This unit, which had just been formed locally and transferred to the North China Front Army to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Chu Feng, was destroyed in less than a month.

regret!

General Terauchi Hisaichi was very regretful!

He regretted why he had provoked Chu Feng!

Why, after receiving the telegram from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he did not take it seriously and directly ordered the troops to retreat.

If we had retreated at that time, although we would have suffered heavy losses and lost face, at least we would not have been completely wiped out.

In extreme regret, two crocodile tears rolled down from the corners of General Terauchi Hisaichi's eyes. He couldn't help but raise his head, not wanting his subordinates to see his gaffe.

"I, Terauchi Juichi, am a noble of the Empire of Japan!"

"I can accept failure, but I cannot lose the honor and dignity of a noble!"

“Bagya Road!!!”
