After retracting his thoughts, the chief of staff said again: "Boss, it has only been more than a month now, and Li Yunlong has completed half of the mission targets. Maybe he can actually build a 5,000-man army within three months."

Boss: "If Li Yunlong can really complete the task target within the next month or so, that will naturally be the best, and it can be regarded as making up for the merit."

"But if he fails to complete the task target, he will still have to be punished, and he will be punished for both crimes and be punished severely!"

"You can't get used to this habit of disobeying orders on the battlefield!"

The chief of staff and the division commander both nodded in agreement. The disobedience should not be encouraged. Otherwise, if everyone follows the same example, the troops will not be able to lead...

The screen pulls back to the Independence Camp station.

Three days passed before I knew it.

At noon that day, just after lunch, Wang Chengzhu began to study the map.

The Independence Camp has been resting for a while, and this kind of idle behavior is unacceptable.

So we have to go out to enjoy the autumn breeze and improve our lives.

After studying for a while, Wang Chengzhu looked at Wang Shugen aside: "Genzi, what useful information can your reconnaissance company detect in the past few days?"

Wang Shugen shook his head: "No valuable information has been detected so far."

"The Japs within a radius of a hundred miles have all learned so well. They have stepped up security at all strongholds and do not go to the countryside to raid. They do not give us any chance at all."

"Of course, it is not difficult for us to capture some of the Japs' strongholds, but the problem is that there is no profit to be made from these strongholds.

If you launch an attack, you might even lose money.

Also, if it is delayed until the Japanese reinforcements arrive, the situation may be even worse."

"In addition, the Dashawan Mine has started construction again, but the Japanese have mobilized a brigade of troops to station in Xing County and strengthened the security of the mine.

Moreover, there are not many migrant workers inside at the moment."

Wang Chengzhu frowned and asked again: "Where is Lijia Town?"

Although Wang Shugen was confused as to why Wang Chengzhu was holding on to Qian Bojun, he still answered truthfully: "I sent several well-trained scouts to lurk in Lijia Town. Qian Bojun's department has not found anything unusual so far."

At this time, a platoon leader of the reconnaissance company hurriedly walked in from outside. He saluted Wang Chengzhu and Wang Shugen and said: "Batalion Commander, Company Commander, an intelligence message just came from the direction of Heyuan County, saying that the Japanese are planning to expand into Heyuan County."

The size of the military uniform factory means that a batch of sewing machines, needlework, fabrics and other raw materials will be shipped from Taiyuan in the past few days."

"Oh? The Japanese want to transport a batch of sewing machines, needles, thread, fabrics and other raw materials from Taiyuan?"

After hearing this, Wang Chengzhu immediately became interested.

The current independent battalion has equipment, food, and money. If there is one thing they lack most, it is undoubtedly military uniforms.

An army, if its uniforms are not uniform, will look like a miscellaneous army, which is often not conducive to command.

Although 2,000 sets of Eighth Route Army uniforms were obtained for completing system tasks before, the independent battalion now has nearly 2,800 people.

In other words, even if each person is issued only one set of military uniforms, there will still be nearly 800 people without military uniforms.

We can't always let these soldiers wear the uniforms of the puppet army or the national army, right?

Wang Chengzhu also wanted to go there and get military uniforms. There were three ways.

First, apply to your superiors. Don’t think about this method, it will definitely not work unless you let Lao Li become the director of the quilt factory.

Second, buying it is not feasible because there is no place to buy it.

The third way is to make it yourself.

There are two methods of making military uniforms.

First: open a quilt factory and directly cut and sew.

This would require a large amount of fabric, but Wang Chengzhu didn't have it. Not only did he not have the fabric, but he also didn't have workers, machines, etc. This method obviously didn't work.

Second: Bleaching and fading the uniforms of the Japanese or Chinese troops, and then dyeing them yourself. Many Eighth Route Army troops have done this.

However, Wang Chengzhu currently doesn't have any materials, technology, or workers, so it still doesn't work.

So Wang Chengzhu could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​​​making military uniforms.

Unexpectedly, just when he wanted to sleep, the Japanese soldiers brought him a pillow...

"Yes!" The platoon leader nodded and said: "Batalion Commander, didn't you ask our reconnaissance company to find ways to get some bleach and dye? When the soldiers of my reconnaissance company lurking in Heyuan County were getting these things

, accidentally discovered that the director of the Heyuan County Military Uniform Factory was his uncle, so he went to recognize the relative and tried to get information through the other party, but he happened to get the news from the other party."

At this moment, the system prompt sounded again in Wang Chengzhu's mind: "Ding! System prompt: It has been detected that the Japanese army is about to escort a batch of sewing machines, needlework, cloth and other materials to Heyuan County."

"Option 1: Let the Japanese army escort you and get 1 ton of bleach and 1 ton of the same color dye for Eighth Route Army uniforms."

"Option 2: Annihilate all the enemy troops in the convoy, intercept this batch of supplies, and obtain the "Efficient Clothing Training Manual" skill book."

"Efficient Garment Making Training Manual": Through this skill book, inexperienced garment workers can be trained into skilled lathes in a short period of time, and the garment making efficiency can be increased by 50%.

Although option one can change the captured Japanese and puppet army uniforms into Eighth Route Army uniforms without doing anything, there is no doubt that the second option is the correct path for sustainable development.

"Ding! System prompts: Congratulations on the successful selection of the host. You will receive corresponding rewards after completing the task."

With the system's prompts, Wang Chengzhu also confirmed the authenticity of this piece of information.

Wang Chengzhu recovered his thoughts and said to the platoon leader: "Tell the soldier to find out through his uncle the time and route of the batch of supplies arriving in Heyuan County as much as possible!"

"Also, let's try to see if we can bring his old uncle into our camp."

The director of the military uniform factory may not seem to have an official position, but he plays a very important role in the Independence Battalion. As long as he is brought over, the Independence Battalion will not have to worry about the military uniforms in the future.

"Yes, battalion commander!"

The platoon leader agreed loudly, then turned and left.

…

Time flew by, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon, Wang Chengzhu was inspecting the stations of each company and their defense situation.

Wang Shugen suddenly hurried over from a distance, stood up and saluted Wang Chengzhu and reported: "Battalion Commander, the information is confirmed. Tomorrow afternoon, the batch of supplies will be transported to Heyuan County, escorted by a small team of Japanese soldiers, plus a company of Japanese soldiers."

Imperial Alliance Army."

"Also, that soldier's uncle also agreed to join my independent camp."

"But before that, he wants to meet you in person."

Wang Chengzhu said happily: "Oh, that's great!"

"Monk, immediately call the company commanders to the battalion headquarters and tell me that I have an emergency meeting to hold."

"yes!"

Monk Wei agreed and immediately led several soldiers from the guard platoon to leave...
Chapter completed!
