The Eighth Route Army noticed the little Japanese's movement immediately. At this time, in the headquarters, there was news about the retreat of the two brigades of the little Japanese.
It was already placed on the chief's table, and the chief of staff on the side said.
"Chief, the frontline troops called to say that the two brigades of the Japs have begun to retreat. Should we pursue them?"
When the chief heard the news, he was slightly surprised.
"Oh? Did Li Yunlong finish the job so quickly? It was a little faster than I thought. In that case, let them withdraw."
"Our goal has been achieved, so there is no need to pursue him any more. Otherwise, if we corner the little devil, we will not end well."
"Yes! Chief."
At the same time that the little Japanese retreated, the Eighth Route Army did not continue the pursuit, but simply cleaned up the battlefield.
He also retreated to his original position, as if nothing happened.
In this battle, who was happiest was Su Bei, the director of the arsenal in Taihang Mountain. Su Bei was looking at the progress in the system mall.
I grinned to my heels. It showed that the progress had reached 31%. It was still 18% before.
This means that in this battle alone, one hundred and thirty little Japanese and puppet soldiers died on the M1 Garand rifle.
So far, one-third of the task progress has been completed, and now only the remaining two-thirds need to be completed.
The system mall can be unlocked. At that time, Su Bei will really take off, unlike now, when Su Bei only has one weapon in hand.
That is the M1 Garand rifle. Although there is no problem now, the emergence of the M1 Garand has solidified the character of Su Bei as a top student studying abroad.
But if time goes by, if Su Bei has not designed other weapons and equipment, others will complain.
It can only be said that there will be no problem in a short period of time. Perhaps within these two months, even Su Bei has not produced other technical drawings of weapons.
No one dared to say anything. After all, the development of weapons requires time and inspiration, and cannot be developed just by thinking about it.
But if in the next six months or even more than a year or even a few years, Subei is still like this, with only one M1 Garand rifle on hand.
That's a bit unreasonable, so Su Bei is eager to unlock the system mall. Only in this way can he stabilize his current personality through the system.
As long as everyone thinks that Su Bei is a monster and a person who cannot be judged by common sense, this will achieve Su Bei's purpose.
The reason for doing this is to prepare for the follow-up. If you can't establish a monster-like character, then wait until Su Bei comes up with more advanced technical drawings.
For example, when it comes to various fighter jets, main battle tanks, battleships and even aircraft carriers, there will definitely be doubts.
.....................
On the other hand, if you have established a character in advance so that when others think of Su Bei, the words "monster" and "genius" will come to mind.
Su Bei's goal has been achieved. Simply put, by establishing a personality, all things that are not consistent with common sense can be made reasonable.
Speaking of which, Su Bei's plan is very simple, that is, to unlock the system mall within two months. It has been exactly one month now.
There is still a month left, especially now that production of M1 Garand rifles and gas bullets has increased.
This task is getting easier and easier to complete. Su Bei estimates that it may take less than two months for the system mall to be unlocked.
A few hours passed in a blink of an eye. By the time Li Yunlong's independent regiment returned to their base, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he returned to the independent regiment's station, Li Yunlong gave Kong Jie a task.
"Lao Kong, please count the casualties of the independent regiment in this battle and the consumption of weapons and ammunition, and report to me."
"No problem, Lao Li, I'll do the statistics right away."
After receiving Li Yunlong's order, Kong Jie left directly.
At this time, Li Yunlong turned his attention to Zhao Gang who was standing aside.
"Political Commissar Zhao, please take a few soldiers to count the copper in the warehouse to see if there is any shortage. This batch of copper will be sent to the arsenal tomorrow."
"Okay, Captain Li."
After arranging tasks for the two of them, Li Yunlong returned to his room and sat down not long after.
The phone in the room rang, which made Li Yunlong very curious. As soon as he came back, the phone rang, and he didn't know who was calling.
"Li Yunlong, congratulations on successfully completing your mission this time."
As soon as the call was connected, the brigade commander's voice came from the other end of the phone.
This made Li Yunlong even more curious, knowing that he had just come back and had not had time to report to his superiors.
How would the brigade commander know they were done? So Li Yunlong also asked directly.
"Brigade commander, how do you know that our independent regiment has just finished fighting?"
"Don't you think about it, why can you fight so easily? We weren't blocking the Japs' reinforcements for you, but not long ago."
"The little devil's reinforcements have all retreated. I was thinking that you should have finished the work here. So, is there a lot of copper in it?"
After hearing the brigade commander's words, Li Yunlong realized that it was no wonder he robbed the little devil's train.
It was so easy and took no effort at all. It was much simpler than he imagined. It turned out to be the brigade commander and the others.
While blocking the Japs' reinforcements for him, Li Yunlong answered truthfully to the brigade commander's questions.
"Yes, brigade commander, there is indeed a lot of copper in it. I asked the soldiers to move it back and prepare to send people to the arsenal tomorrow."
"Well, good. The battle is over now. Remember to send me those two hundred M1 Garand rifles, as well as the small mountain cannon and heavy machine gun you borrowed from the past, and send them to the brigade headquarters."
"Brigadier, can we discuss this further?"
To be honest, only after Li Yunlong used the M1 Garand rifle on the battlefield did he realize how convenient this rifle is.
It is no exaggeration to say that the M1 Garand was indispensable for being able to take down these little devils so easily this time. After all, this rifle can fire continuously.
Three hundred M1 Garands are equipped to the independent regiment, and combined with its continuous fire characteristics, the fire suppression caused by them is far greater than that of the three hundred little Japanese 38.
I have to say that the M1 Garand looks like a rifle, but judging from the fire suppression effect, it is much stronger than ordinary rifles.
Therefore, when Li Yunlong deeply realized the terrifying fire suppression effect of the M1 Garand, he was a little reluctant to part with it.
But Li Yunlong didn't even want to think about it, who was the brigade commander? Someone who can rob his own cavalry battalion and turn it into a cavalry company with just a few words.
How could you let go of this? Sure enough, when the brigade commander noticed Li Yunlong's hesitation, he immediately became unhappy.
