Materials like cement were considered rare in this era, and there were only a few cement factories in the country.
Zhang Chaoqun asked his men to repair the road in the village. They actually used precious cement, which really shocked the villagers.
Extravagant!
This was foreign cement that could not be bought even if one had money!
It was already very wasteful to use it to repair their houses, but it was actually used to build roads.
Did he have too much money to spend?
They didn't know that cement could be exchanged in the Warcloud system as if it was free.
What surprised the villagers even more was that apart from distributing a batch of grain, the team had suddenly announced yesterday that the villagers of Tiger Head Valley would be given a piece of land according to the number of people they had. In the future, they would only have to pay 10% of the harvest as tax.
When this news came out, all the villagers were overjoyed.
……
Because the soldiers and the villagers were full of energy, they built two blockhouses in a very short time. 50% of the roads in the village had been paved with clean cement.
At this time, there were still three months and ten days before the Lugou Bridge Incident.
It was also on this day that the System Munitions Factory unlocked a very important weapon.
Machine gun!
Moreover, it was the best MG-42 machine gun in Country D during World War II.
Zhang Chaoqun was very satisfied with the Battle Cloud system unlocking some good things from time to time.
This type of machine gun was still at the top during World War II, when excellent weapons were frequently produced. Other than the terrifying rate of fire of up to 1500 rounds per minute, its reliability, advanced metal stamping technology, and high adaptability to the climate and environment were all classic guns in World War II.
Once the MG42 was out, Zhang Chaoqun knew that there was a chance.
The MG42 was a product of 1942, obtained five years earlier. In other words, there was no other machine gun in the world that could compare to it!
Each class would be equipped with two MG42s!
Construct a battle strategy centered around the machine gun!
He did not want to win in one battle. He only wanted to delay the progress of the Japanese invasion and buy enough time for development. Then, he would win!
……
Now, there were 130 people in the independent battalion. (100 soldiers, 30 tactical soldiers.)）
If he was equipped with a general-purpose machine gun, his combat strength would be greatly increased!
However, Zhang Chaoqun immediately realized that the appearance of the general-purpose machine gun was bound to cause a sensation. With his current identity, how could he refuse the plunder of those higher-ranking people?!
The general-purpose machine gun could not be given out!
Although Zhang Chaoqun was patriotic, he was not reckless. He understood the importance of keeping a trump card more than anyone else.
In front of the enemy, were they going to kill each other?
Zhang Chaoqun thought about it and decided to use a small amount of equipment at the critical moment.
" Host, you don't have to worry about this. If you are willing, you can unlock an existing machine gun, such as the Bren Light Machine Gun, Jack Light Machine Gun, Jegogaliov Light Machine Gun, M1919, etc. These light machine guns are also very classic, and the unlocking fee is not high.”
Then, a long list of items appeared in front of Zhang Chaoqun.
[Bren Light Machine Gun: Unlock cost: 23 million]
[M1919 Light Machine Gun: 18.5 million to unlock.]
[Taisho Type 11 Light Machine Gun: 15 million to unlock.]
[Jack Light Machine Gun: Unlock cost 24 million.]
……
Zhang Chaoqun did not hesitate to choose the Jack model. This was a very mature weapon. In the 1920s, at least 20 countries around the world were equipped with it. At that time, almost all the warlords bought the Jack model, which was famous.
With the Jack Type, not only could it increase the independent battalion's combat ability, but it could also be provided to the 28th division.
Little Japanese, just wait and see!
A mere 20 million was nothing to Zhang Chaoqun.
A few days later, the roads in Tiger Head Valley Village were all completed.
Other than the farmlands, vegetable fields, and some buildings, the village was filled with flat cement roads, which looked very imposing.
The villagers 'residences were arranged in the newly built residential area.
Currently, there were eight blockhouses that had been repaired and ten that were under construction.
Following Zhang Chaoqun's instructions, Bao Changming began to organize the villagers to build a wall around the village.
The villagers were highly motivated to produce. The blockhouses and sturdy concrete houses gave them a sense of security.
It was also for this reason that even the neighboring Wu Village and Li Jia 'ao were envious.
Some families who were related to Tiger Head Valley also tried to move into Tiger Head Valley.
In view of this situation, Zhang Chaoqun pushed the boat with the current and decided to include Wu Village and Li Jia 'ao into his sphere of influence.
He got Bao Changming to call the village chiefs of Wu Village and Li Jia 'ao over for a discussion. Using this opportunity, Wu Village's village chief, Wu Tingjun, and Li Jia' ao's village chief, Li Changgeng, went through battle training one after another, becoming his loyal supporters.
With the three villages combined, the population had already reached 1,500.
Zhang Chaoqun decided to reorganize his territory and establish a base.
When the Battle of Lugou Bridge came, Zhang Chaoqun wanted to give the Japanese a heavy blow and let them know that China was not a piece of cake. They could not take a bite out of it whenever they wanted.
