13: Chapter 13 System Upgrade! Another SSR Appears!!
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the weapon: Type 79 Rabbit Artillery Company (full set of weapons) γ
γ The prize includes: 6 Type 63 107mm Rocket Launchers, 80 Type 56 automatic rifles, 10 Type 56 light machine guns, 10 40mm individual rocket launchers, and 1 basic unit of supporting ammunition γ
"..."
107mm Rocket Launcher?
40mm rocket launcher?
Type 56 assault rifle?
Shen Wang was stunned for a moment, then a light of wild joy erupted in his eyes!
The three great artifacts of world guerrilla warfare were all gathered at once!
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
Shen Wang almost couldn't help but laugh out loud!
If the world's best guerrilla troops were equipped with the most awesome guerrilla artifacts, what kind of battle results would they achieve?
Let's just put it this way: back in the day, it directly caused a certain "great power" that claimed to be the world's third-strongest military to change its capital.
Especially the 107mm Rocket Launcher!
Lightweight, fierce firepower, durable and ruggedβit is simply the ultimate killer weapon born for the guerrilla battlefield!
A single 107mm Rocket Launcher weighs only over 600 jin, about the same as a 75mm mountain gun.
But the problem is, one 107mm Rocket Launcher has 12 barrels!
That is to say, the power of one 107mm Rocket Launcher is comparable to 12 105mm Howitzers.
What kind of concept is that?
A Japanese Type A division has a total of only 36 105mm Howitzers!
Moreover, what's even more awesome is that the 107mm rockets can be fired even without the launcher tubes!
Can you handle that?
It can be said that among all weapons, the 107mm Rocket Launcher ranks in the top three of what Shen Wang most wanted to draw!
Those other awesome weapons are either too cumbersome or too advanced, simply not suitable for this era.
However, the quantity is a bit small; he only drew six.
"It's equivalent to the firepower of two Japanese Type A divisions."
Shen Wang clicked his tongue and then couldn't help but laugh.
In the entire China battlefield, how many Type A divisions have the Japanese even deployed!
What more could you ask for!
"Continue!"
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining supplies: Company-level ration and clothing pack γ
γ The prize includes: individual rations (enough for 150 people for one month), 150 sets each of winter/summer military uniforms, 300 pairs of military boots, and 150 sets of individual equipment such as military canteens, mess tins, and backpacks γ
This is good!
Before the troops move, food and fodder must go first!
Just having guns and cannons isn't enough; ensuring the soldiers are well-fed and warmly clothed is the foundation of maintaining combat effectiveness.
"Not bad, not bad! Come again!"
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the skill: Intermediate Tactical Command (Company/Platoon level) γ
γ Effect: Proficient in company/platoon level offensive and defensive tactics, multi-branch coordination (infantry, artillery, machine guns), and combat command in complex terrain γ
In an instant, a more massive and systematic body of military knowledge surged into Shen Wang's mind. Troop deployment, firepower configuration, terrain utilization... various concepts that were previously blurry instantly became incredibly clear!
Hmm?
From squad leader to company commander?
Nice, nice!
"Continue!"
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the skill: Artillery Operation γ
γ Effect: Proficient in the use of all artillery under 150mm γ
Shen Wang: "..."
Do I need to be taught how to operate artillery?
Isn't that...
"Ahem..."
Alright, he really doesn't know how.
Especially for "big guns" like the 107mm Rocket Launcher that require calculating firing data, you really can't handle it without professional training.
"More skills don't weigh you down; learn it!"
In an instant, knowledge regarding operating procedures for various artillery, firing data calculation, and ammunition selection became clear in his mind.
"Good luck one after another! Continue, continue!" Shen Wang became happier the more he drew.
However, he was happy too early!
The style of the next few draws changed drastically:
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the weapon: Type 38 Nationalist Army Infantry Company (full set of weapons) γ
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the weapon: Type 38 Nationalist Army Infantry Company (full set of weapons) γ
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the weapon: Type 38 Nationalist Army Infantry Platoon (full set of weapons) γ
...
Shen Wang's face instantly fell.
"Why is it all this junk?!"
He discovered that among all the prizes he had drawn, the ones marked "Nationalist Army" were the most pathetic!
In the end, even an "infantry platoon" appeared.
A platoon only has three or four squads; this means if you draw a "Nationalist Army Infantry Platoon" in a Silver-level draw, it's like the Japanese died for nothing.
Just as Shen Wang was preparing to adjust his posture and change his luck, a prompt suddenly sounded in his mind:
γ Ding! System upgrading! Please wait, Host... γ
"Upgrading?"
Shen Wang perked up.
The system panel did indeed indicate level permissions; he previously only held primary permissions.
Now the system has actually upgraded?
He didn't know what changes would occur after the upgrade.
To be honest, Shen Wang was quite looking forward to it.
After about a minute or so, a prompt sounded in his mind again:
γ Ding! System upgrade complete! Host level increased! γ
γ Current permission: Intermediate γ
γ Ding! System Mall function enabled! γ
γ Mall: Can use military merit points to redeem weapons and supplies the Host has previously drawn (Note: does not include skills) γ
Hmm?
"Mall?"
Can I directly use military merit points to redeem weapons and supplies?
This function came at the perfect time!
Shen Wang was jolted, then immediately opened the system panelβ
γ Host: Shen Wang γ
γ Current permission: Intermediate γ
γ military merit points: 4156 γ
γ Physique: 8 γ
γ Skills: Firearms Proficiency, Basic Infantry Command, Battlefield Perception (Lv.1), Intermediate Tactical Command, Artillery Operation γ
γ Available weapons: Type 20 Rabbit Synthetic Squad * 1, Type 38 Nationalist Army Infantry Squad * 4, Type 44 German-style Infantry Squad * 1, Type 44 US-style Infantry Platoon... γ
γ Available supplies: 20 boxes of Border Region-made grenades, 5000 rounds of various ammunition, 10 basic medical kits, company-level reconnaissance and communication pack... γ
γ Mall: Click to view γ
Sure enough, there was an additional Mall function in the system.
Immediately after, Shen Wang couldn't wait to click on the Mall.
Don't forget, he had previously drawn a "Type 20 Rabbit Synthetic Squad"!
If all the weapons drawn could be directly redeemed...
If he directly redeemed 400 synthetic squads, wouldn't he be unstoppable?
However, as soon as he opened the Mall page, Shen Wang was dumbfounded!
"Units, tens, hundreds, thousands..."
There was no need to look; the synthetic squad was right at the top of the Mall page.
It was just that long string of zeros behind it...
"Can't afford it, can't afford it..."
He couldn't afford it at all!
Shen Wang originally thought he could redeem a synthetic squad for 10 military merit points, but it turned out he had thought too much.
That terrifying price...
Shen Wang browsed the Mall and found that the closer the weapons and equipment were to modern times, the ridiculously higher the price.
The price of one Red Arrow-12 anti-tank missile was enough for him to arm several artillery companies equipped with 107mm Rocket Launchers!
"There's no need at all!"
Although the equipment level of the synthetic squad completely crushes all equipment of this era, the problem is, a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle also crushes this era!
There's no need to insist on the QBZ-191.
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle is enough.
The Red Arrow-12 anti-tank missile is indeed awesome, but can dozens of 107mm Rocket Launchers not compare to one Red Arrow-12?
What precision strike? I'll just use saturation coverage!
After glancing at the prices in the Mall, Shen Wang was very satisfied.
The overall prices were quite reasonable.
"Since that's the case, there's no need to draw prizes anymore; redeeming them directly is so much better."
Shen Wang looked at the remaining 4000+ military merit points and decided not to draw prizes for now.
Of course, drawing prizes has its benefits; you can win big with a small investment, but that's on the condition that your luck is good enough.
Having drawn the Nationalist Army infantry company/platoon several times in a row, Shen Wang felt his luck for today was about used up.
"Right, there's still the Silver ten-draw."
He'll save the military merit points for now and use the Silver ten-draw from the mission reward first.
"System, initiate Silver ten-draw!"
γ Ding! Initiating Silver-level ten-draw (guaranteed SSR) γ
The light wheel spun rapidly, and prompts sounded one after another:
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the weapon: Type 38 Nationalist Army Infantry Company (full set of weapons) γ
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the weapon: Type 44 US-style Infantry Platoon (full set of weapons) γ
...
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining supplies: 50,000 rounds of various ammunition γ
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining supplies: 50,000 rounds of various ammunition γ
...
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the skill: Japanese Language Proficiency γ
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the skill: Vehicle Driving Proficiency (Primary) γ
γ Effect: Master the driving techniques for the vast majority of ground vehicles, including trucks, jeeps, armored vehicles, and tanks. γ
...
The nine draws ended. Although "Nationalist Army" junk was mixed in again, the harvest of massive amounts of ammunition and two practical skills still satisfied Shen Wang.
"The last one... guaranteed SSR, come out for me!"
Shen Wang held his breath, staring intently at the crazily spinning light wheel.
Finally, after reaching maximum rotational speed, the light wheel suddenly stopped.
This time, the light screen erupted with unprecedented radianceβ
γ Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining... γ
