Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 30: Finalizing the Battle Plan!

Factory Director Wang frowned, then shook his head repeatedly: "I'm just the director of the arsenal; the borrowing of weapons and equipment isn't under my jurisdiction!"

At this point, Factory Director Wang looked at Chu Feng and said, "Furthermore, if you were to pull a fast one like Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou and never returning it, how would I explain that to Minister Zhang?"

Chu Feng: "..."

After being speechless, he widened his eyes and said, "Old Wang, is this all you think of me, Chu Feng?"

Factory Director Wang: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that our Eighth Route Army only has so many weapons."

"Who wouldn't be tempted by such a sight? Once something is lent out, it's hard to get it back."

"Don't make things difficult for me!" After a moment's thought, Director Wang offered a suggestion: "How about this, I really can't do it. Go to Minister Zhang. If he agrees, then I'll lend it to you."

"..."

Seeing that Director Wang was still unwilling to budge, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "Fine, fine, I'll keep this cannon for now. I'll go find Minister Zhang, okay?"

This time, Factory Director Wang didn't hesitate and readily agreed, "No problem!"

Although a satisfactory result was not obtained, at least a solution to the problem was found.

Good things come in pairs. After leaving the arsenal, Chu Feng did not rush to find Minister Zhang.

Instead, after returning to the regimental headquarters, he stayed indoors and never went out. Apart from training and supervising the troops, or taking a stroll around the newly built breeding farm, he went nowhere else.

Finally, three more days passed, and a battle plan was freshly produced.

Without hesitation, he took the battle plan and left the regimental headquarters, heading straight for the General Logistics Department.

"What brings you here?"

Minister Zhang was curious as he looked at Chu Feng, who hadn't shown up for almost half a month.

"Sir, this is the battle plan!"

Chu Feng chuckled upon hearing this and handed over the battle plan he was carrying.

"Oh?"

Minister Zhang Wanhe's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He reached out and took the document, quickly glancing through it before saying, "Wait a minute!"

As he spoke, he shouted, "Someone come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man walked in.

"minister!"

Upon hearing this, Minister Zhang Wanhe handed him the plan: "Go, send it to headquarters and ask them to take a look at this operational plan. What do you think of it? Is it feasible?"

"If it's feasible, then ask them to help resolve all the necessary communication issues."

Zhang Wanhe, the General Logistics Minister, is not just some nobody like Xiao Kalami; he is a real leader at headquarters.

"Yes!" the young man replied, took the battle plan, saluted, and quickly left.

After the young man left, Minister Zhang looked at Chu Feng and said, "I heard you've been spending all your time at the arsenal lately."

"The field hospital just got its hands on allicin, and now they're eyeing the arsenal?"

"What? Getting a little bored as the team leader? Want to try something different?"

In response to Minister Zhang's teasing, Chu Feng smiled and waved his hand, "Look at you, I'm just curious."

"Furthermore, the purpose of an arsenal is to provide weapons and ammunition to our combat troops."

Chu Feng naturally wouldn't say that he was actually assessing the arsenal's technology and capabilities.

Saying it like that is a bit arrogant and disrespectful.

"hehe!"

Minister Zhang chuckled and reminded him, "It's not that I don't want you to go, but I hope you'll focus your main energy on the military."

"This attack on Xiaoxishan Railway Station marks the second battle fought since the establishment of the guard regiment."

"As superiors, we are very satisfied with the current development speed and momentum of the guard regiment, but we are all greedy and hope that the guard regiment can develop even faster and better."

Chu Feng understood Minister Zhang's meaning and immediately nodded vigorously: "Minister Zhang, don't worry!"

"The development of the guard regiment is entirely under my control."

"You won't need much; you'll see a surprise in just three months."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanhe smiled and said, "I believe in your abilities, but many times, it's not something you or I can decide."

He paused, his expression becoming more serious: "A few days ago, we received a telegram from the Second World War zone. They will send a corps of mid- to high-ranking officers to our base to learn guerrilla tactics."

"The Japanese devils suffered losses in our raids and have been plotting to cause trouble ever since."

"Three months is a long time, but we may not have three months to develop quietly. Time waits for no one!"

Minister Zhang Wanhe's words stirred something in Chu Feng's heart: "The senior officer corps of the Jin-Sui Army? Chu Yunfei?"

"It seems the Japanese North China battlefield observation group shouldn't be far off." Suddenly, Chu Feng felt a growing sense of urgency.

Knowing that the battle at Xiaoxishan Railway Station must be fought quickly and completed within a week.

Otherwise, if you dawdle or delay even a little, you'll miss out on this money-making plan that you've been eyeing for so long.

"yes!"

Chu Feng's expression was serious: "Boss, I understand."

"After this battle, I will speed up the process and, while developing the combat battalion, also get on the reorganization of the other companies and platoons."

Seeing that Chu Feng understood his meaning, Minister Zhang Wanhe showed a hint of relief: "You're a smart kid."

Time passed as the two chatted idly.

"minister!"

The young people who went to headquarters have returned.

"How is it?"

Zhang Wanhe asked.

"Headquarters stated that the operational plan was in order and that all related communications had been handled properly."

The young man quickly replied.

After saying that, he added, "By the way, the division commander also knows about this and asked me to pass on a message to Regiment Commander Chu."

"This battle plan is very interesting. Let him fight with peace of mind, and he will order the relevant troops to provide reinforcements for him."

"You'd better put on a spectacular performance!"

Chu Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, the old commander also found out and took the opportunity to clean up his mess.

"Did you hear that?"

Minister Zhang Wanhe smiled and said to Chu Feng, "Alright, since there are no problems, go back and prepare!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng did not rush to leave, but instead smiled and said, "Sir, there are two more things."

"explain!"

Minister Zhang didn't think much of it and said directly.

"First, I need to borrow the transport troops from our General Logistics Department," Chu Feng said without hesitation. "I'll go attack the train station, and while I'm at it, I'd also like to haul back some rails."

"Moreover, it's a raid that covers hundreds of miles. We don't have many livestock or transportation capacity, so we can only ask you for help."

Upon hearing this, Minister Zhang said, "Okay, how much do you want?"

Chu Feng: "The more the merrier!"

"Damn it!"

Minister Zhang was so angry he laughed: "I agreed to help you, and you're treating me like a sucker again."

Chu Feng looked aggrieved: "Look at what you're saying, we're not using it for free."

"Please arrange for more. When you return, you can take away my six cars and two motorcycles. I'll cover the transportation costs."

The seized gasoline was running low, so those who were interested went up to learn how to drive. While not everyone became an expert driver, quite a few officers and soldiers learned to drive and were able to operate the cars.

Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, Minister Zhang was immediately intrigued: "Okay!"

"When are you leaving? I'll arrange people and a transport team to assist you."

At this point, Minister Zhang urged, "Hurry up and tell me the second one. I'm very busy with other things. Once you're done, get out of here."
