60: Chapter 60 When all else fails, resort to tactical maneuvering!

"That's right, we're addicted to attacking county seats now! Once we take one, the Japs don't even have time to send reinforcements!"

"With the weapons, ammunition, and food from the county seats, we've expanded our troops by over ten thousand in these past ten or so days!"

Although Li Yunlong hadn't personally gone to the front lines, he had watched the sieges. While there were casualties, it was much better compared to before.

They had fallen in love with attacking county seats; they were practically stationary military warehouses.

Yang Fan was dumbfounded listening to this. Pulling together over ten thousand troops in just over ten days!!!

"Why didn't you call me for something so exciting!"

Yang Fan also wanted to kill the Japs, but he had no intention of going to the front lines. That time at Cangyun Ridge had taught him the cruelty of war.

He just wanted to go and join in the excitement.

The Brigade Commander interrupted their conversation; now was not the time for reminiscing!

"Bring in all the antiques from outside!"

Li Yunlong turned around to move the antiques into the space.

"Brother Yang, we didn't just come here this time to give you the items from the last transaction."

"Mainly, we want another large batch of weapons. Our intelligence personnel report that the Japanese army has a Class-A division, two brigades, three infantry regiments, and one cavalry regiment prepared to completely annihilate our forces."

"This time, the enemy will deploy a large number of aircraft, tanks, and artillery!"

"I came here to ask for help. As you know, although we've received quite a bit of equipment from you, once it's distributed to various units, it's still a bit sparse. Dealing with so many Japanese troops is still quite a struggle!"

The Brigade Commander was also somewhat surprised. They had only just made the enemy suffer a small loss, and the enemy was already turning around to wipe them out.

The enemy's numbers this time added up to at least 60,000 Japs, which was a tenth of the entire battlefield.

Yang Fan also sucked in a breath of cold air. Good grief, this time it seemed they had truly driven the Japs into a frenzy.

He knew about Class-A divisions; they were elite crack units!

Seeing that Yang Fan was stunned, the Brigade Commander continued:

"Brother Yang, don't worry. Give us the weapons first, and we'll make it up to you with whatever antiques we capture later!"

By this time, Li Yunlong had moved everything inside.

"Brother, this is everything. Take a look."

Yang Fan glanced over them; they were all good items, clearly from a wealthy family's collection, and there were quite a lot of them.

Yang Fan directly stored the items into his space.

[Transaction complete. Transaction rating: C. Obtained 50 transaction points.]

Yang Fan checked his warehouse. He definitely had to provide support first; otherwise, their casualties this time would likely be enormous.

He directly took out the vast majority of the equipment in his space.

"4,000 barretts, 3,500 Gatling Guns, 4,000 Mortars, 40,000 Assault Rifle, 40,000 Submachine Guns, 8,000 Rocket Launchers, and 800 88mm Anti-aircraft Guns."

"Equipped with 100 basic loads of ammunition."

"Is this equipment enough? If not, I'll go get some more."

This was already most of Yang Fan's equipment; the rest was what he kept for emergencies.

Li Yunlong and the Brigade Commander's eyes nearly popped out. With this equipment, it felt like taking Long City would be more than easy!

And it seemed Yang Fan could still get more.

This weaponry and ammunition were enough to melt the Japs this time!

With 800 Anti-aircraft Guns deployed, it was unlikely a single Jap plane would make it back.

"Enough, it's enough! Do you have any radios? We need a large number of radios right now!"

"I'll put some in the space in a few days."

Yang Fan figured there must be some; for more money, someone could even be made to manufacture them.

The Brigade Commander grasped Yang Fan's hand.

"Thank you so much for your support in the war of resistance. We'll save all the antiques we capture in the future for you. If there's anything you want, just ask!"

"There's nothing special I want. Those antiques and things collected by the landlords are very good. Just leave those for me!"

The things those old landlords played with were very high-class. There were many items from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Selling those would easily fetch hundreds of billions.

"Alright, Brother Yang, if you need anything, just speak up. As long as it's something we have, Brother Yang, take your pick!"

"Then we'll take our leave now. We need to go distribute the weapons. After we win this battle, I'll invite you to drink celebratory wine!"

The Brigade Commander waved to Yang Fan. It was impossible for Yang Fan to go to the battlefield, but inviting him over for a drink was no problem.

Yang Fan nodded and didn't say anything. After all, the war situation was urgent, so he just waved back at them.

Yang Fan looked at the remaining items in the space. It seemed he needed to get more equipment; after all, he wouldn't just be fighting Japs in the future.

"Brigade Commander, you're still the impressive one!"

"Nearly ten thousand cannons and 1,000 Anti-aircraft Guns!"

"Hmph, that's because I noticed something. This kid is a junior of our Party. Otherwise, why do you think he'd give us so many weapons first?"

"Is it because he's kind?"

The Brigade Commander rolled his eyes at him. In truth, regarding the Japs' current offensive, their original weapons would have sufficed to deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

But who would complain about having too many high-end weapons? Moreover, he was already very certain of the other's identity.

Otherwise, who would know they were in danger and provide them with a massive amount of weapons first instead of raising the asking price?

"Is that so? How come I didn't see it!"

Li Yunlong scratched his head.

The Division Commander glanced at Li Yunlong and said:

"If you could see it, you wouldn't have personally led the charge when you first got the equipment."

Everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.

Li Yunlong was speechless. He felt insulted, but he had nowhere to complain. This wasn't his Independent Regiment.

Every single person here was an Old Chief of his.

"Order the units below to come and collect their equipment. This time, we'll let these Japs taste what it's like to be blasted by shells."

"Mhm, we can divide the artillery units into echelons. In any case, our shells have a long range. If we manage the distance well, our casualties will be greatly reduced!"

The Division Commander suggested. He was the one who had used these Rocket Launchers the most and already had a method for using this weapon in mind.

"Alright, and don't let the infantry get too far forward. After all, we haven't been using this weapon for long, and the soldiers aren't very skilled. It's basically total fire coverage! Don't hit our own people!"

The Division Commander said with a smile. He had studied strategy and tactics his whole life, but now he found that those were all secondary; fire coverage was king, and accuracy didn't matter much.

After the fire coverage was finished, then the men would push forward—infantry-artillery coordination!

"Mhm, go arrange it!"
