Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

082 Chen Jinshan's Request

"Yes, Battalion Commander Tang is right. In a couple of days, let the new recruits company take them out for a field training exercise, get them involved with the villagers, and let them participate more in our labor reform program."

Before the reorganization, all those who were still unqualified were sent to mine. According to the reconnaissance company, a copper mine was recently discovered in the old Tangchi area. It was said to be an old mine pit that most of the local people knew about.

"it is good..."

Everyone rose to take their leave. Shangguan Yun turned to see them off and was about to return to the operations room when three people entered. Leading them was Chen Jinshan, followed by Xu Wengang supporting a seriously wounded man. Chen Jinshan cupped his hands and said, "Commander, you finally have some free time... haha..."

"Brother Chen, hehe... did you get a good rest yesterday?"

"Everything is fine. At yesterday's conference, Chief Shangguan spoke eloquently, demonstrating his profound knowledge of military strategy and tactics. His lofty aspirations are truly admirable, and I, Chen, am ashamed to admit my inferiority..."

"Hehe... Brother Chen, you flatter me. You've been in the martial world for many years, while I'm just a humble practitioner. How could I possibly be considered a master strategist? Given time, your achievements might not be inferior to mine..."

"Hehe, Brother Shangguan is too kind. I have come here today to ask you for a favor. Come, come... This man is a good brother of mine from many years, named Wang Fuyong. The other day, thanks to him risking his life to break through the encirclement and deliver the message, otherwise Xiaogang and I would have been buried in the mountain god temple long ago."

Alas... unfortunately, the wicked have gained power, and now the people of Daheishan are all under his control, including his sister Wang Fujuan. The Third Staff Officer Wei has proposed marriage to her family many times, but they have all refused. Now it seems that it will be difficult to resolve the situation.

"Brother Shangguan, if it's convenient, please send someone to scout out the situation here. If we can rescue Miss Wang, all of us brothers will forever remember the Commander's great kindness. We would even be willing to join Song Family Village and pledge our loyalty to the Commander..."

"Hey... Brother Chen, what are you saying? I, Shangguan Yun, am not the kind of person to kick someone when they're down. Since Brother Wang has done such a great favor for Brother Chen and Xiaogang, this trivial matter is nothing to mention. And you... Xiao Ye..."

"Here I am..." Telegraph operator Ye Yizhou walked out of the telegraph room. "Send a telegram to the reconnaissance company immediately, instructing them to send men to infiltrate Daheishan Mountain and gather information about Wei San and Wang Fujuan. Report back as soon as possible..."

"Yes..." Ye Yizhou saluted and turned back.

"Brother Chen, no need to worry, we'll have news within a day or two. Xiao Gang... find Brother Ban later and ask him for 20 men to form a commando team, equip them, and be ready to carry out missions at any time..."

"Yes..."

"Haha... Thank you very much, Commander. We will take our leave now and await good news..." Chen Jinshan said, cupping his hands in greeting.

“My brother and I are so grateful to our boss, we’re so grateful…” Wang Fuyong cried tears of joy.

"Hehe...Alright, you're injured, go back and rest first. Once you've recovered, your sister will be back around the same time, haha..." The group bowed and took their leave.

With nothing much happening for half the day, Shangguan Yun managed to take a rare nap. She was exhausted from being kept awake most of the night by her curious child...

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, many tasks in Zhaizhong made breakthrough progress. The ideological and political courses and basic training courses of the army were incorporated into the regular curriculum, and Principal Yang's intelligence and talent were fully utilized.

It was only then that Shangguan Yun realized that he had underestimated Teacher Yang. Lu Zhao was basically teaching the elementary school students' courses, and Teacher Yang had already begun to learn Shangguan Yun's military academy courses. Moreover, he was very talented and could grasp things quickly. He was a promising student.

After several days of selection, more than 300 new recruits successfully enlisted and are now undergoing intensive training in the recruit camp. In a month, they will be added to the organizational structure of various battalions and companies. Tang Jian, the current commander of the recruit battalion, is highly sought after, and all the battalion and company commanders are trying to curry favor with him.

Why? Everyone wants to select some good soldiers, but Boss Tang still maintained a calm and impartial expression, and he didn't listen to anyone except Shangguan Yun's orders.

Then there's Boss Huang, who oversees logistics and controls all weapons, ammunition, and supplies. He's a heavyweight figure in the village.

In the past two days, Shangguan Yun exchanged for a new type of anti-aircraft armored vehicle, the German Cyclone self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle, which can be driven by 4-5 people, has 10-80 mm of armor, 300 horsepower output, a load capacity of 22 tons, a speed of 40 km/h, and a range of 200 km.

It was equipped with four 20mm anti-aircraft cannons with a rate of fire of 880 rounds per minute and a range of 4800 meters. It also carried a 7.92mm machine gun. Both the machine guns and cannons were dual-purpose, capable of both direct fire and anti-aircraft fire. It was renowned during World War II, a secret weapon of the German army and a nightmare for the Allied air forces...

Shangguan Yun planned to equip the entire air defense company with 30 of these armored vehicles because he knew that the Japanese had suffered a great loss this time, and that there was a high possibility that their planes would attack again. If they were not prepared, they would be put on the defensive.

He had been researching this armored anti-aircraft vehicle for a long time, and it could be said to be the most advanced anti-aircraft weapon of World War II. Moreover, it had a strong land assault capability. During World War II, a single German anti-aircraft vehicle once achieved the feat of defeating 800 Allied soldiers. It was truly a deadly weapon for infantry...

The moment the armored vehicle drove out of the cave, even the soldiers guarding the cave were astonished. When did it drive in? Where did this huge iron thing come from? Which company was it issued to? They were all filled with envy.

It took Shangguan Yun a lot of effort to learn how to drive it out. As soon as he arrived at the training ground, hundreds of people surrounded him. "Wow... what a big guy... whose is it... is it a masturbator?" He became the focus of the entire village in an instant.

Shangguan Yun emerged from the chariot and tossed Shen Wuzhou a Chinese-translated user manual, saying, "Figure out how to use it within three days, no problem..."

Shen Wuzhou's mouth was already wide open in an "O" shape, and his eyes were almost bulging out.

"Once you've figured out how to use it, teach the soldiers in the anti-aircraft company, and we'll get you even more powerful artillery later..."

The area around Camel Peak will be the artillery and company firing range from now on. You battalion, company, and platoon officers should go there and demarcate your respective training areas...

The gasoline is over there in the cave, so use it sparingly...

After speaking, Shangguan Yun turned and went back to the command post, while everyone was still chattering around him.

The soldiers of Songjia Village have now discovered a problem: their commander, Shangguan Yun, seems to have some powerful backer, as new weapons keep appearing one after another.

It is said that the commander was a top student from the Central Military Academy, and the development of the stronghold was supported by the higher-ups, which enabled it to grow and expand.

Everyone was filled with excitement, their confidence in Songjia Village increased, and they were filled with hope for the future.
