Hong Lang and his troops retreated very quickly. They returned to Guozhuang Village in half an hour. Before leaving, he ordered the first squad to lay mines along the highway every one or two kilometers to slow down the Japanese army's advance.
This time, he had taken advantage of the Japanese. They were probably really angry. Next, they would definitely retaliate crazily. He had to be prepared to face the enemy. Otherwise, the anti-Japanese base that he had painstakingly built would be in vain.
Hong Lang did not return to Guozhuang Village but went straight to his main base. Before he entered the main control room, his voice was heard. "Chen Gao, how many gold coins did I get this time?”
"Reporting to the commander. In this battle, the commander once again eliminated more than 200 Japanese soldiers, which is about the same as Guozhuang Village. He received 20,000 gold coins from the base. Including the remaining 12,000 gold coins, the total amount of gold coins in the commander's base was 33,000 gold coins.”
"There are already so many?" Hong Lang nodded and said," Are there any new privileges?”
"Yes!" Chen Gao operated for a while before reporting,"The commander once again destroyed a squadron of the Japanese army, and his rank was promoted again. He surpassed the rank of lieutenant and was directly promoted to captain. The commander was now a company commander.”
Hong Lang looked at his military uniform. He hadn't worn this second lieutenant uniform for long. Now that his rank had been promoted again, in the blink of an eye, Platoon Leader Hong had become Company Commander Hong.
"In addition, the commander's basic squad has also changed. From a squad of five to a squad of ten.”Chen Gao reported on the changes in the military structure.
"That's great. This will greatly expand the source of soldiers in my hands.”This was what made Hong Lang happy. With the change in the number of people in the basic platoon, as his military rank rose, there would be more and more soldiers under him in the future.
"Immediately expand according to the current shifts.”Hong Lang immediately gave the order to expand the army.
"Recruiting soldiers requires a total of 19800 base gold coins. Please confirm the expenditure."”
"Consumption." Hong Lang had never hesitated when it came to development. With this order, soldiers began to walk out of the barracks outside the base.
"12200 base gold coins left.”Hong Lang looked at the number on the screen and felt a little pain in his heart. After fighting two battles, he had more and more troops, but the gold coins in the base had returned to the original amount.
Chen Gao then reminded Hong Lang," Commander, because you have been promoted, some military and civilian factories have also been liberated.”
Chen Gao immediately called up the civilian factory. The icon at the top was the logo of a steel mill. The huge chimney was still smoking.
500,000 tons steel base:
Construction price: 6000 base funds, 10000 square meters. The construction required four days.
[Description: Basic steel smelting plant. Its components are divided into iron smelting plant, steel smelting plant, and steel rolling plant. The main components of the steel smelting plant are: hot metal pre-treatment, convert, refining, continuous casting, and finishing. The steel factory would automatically send out coal mines and iron ore exploration teams to search for suitable minerals in the surroundings. After finding a suitable mine, it would automatically send out mining vehicles to mine.
[Special explanation: Steel base, reasonable use of mineral resources, complete factory facilities, complete products, is a necessary unit for the development and production of the base, whether for military or civilian use.]
Hong Lang nodded and continued reading.
Ammo Factory:
Military logistics unit, construction price 3000 base funds, occupies 5000 square meters. The construction required two days.
[Description: Pay a certain amount of base gold coins and you can produce bombs and shells according to the commander's requirements.] The models of bullets and cannonballs produced will be changed according to the weapons equipped by the troops. There is no need for special changes. The ammunition factory had its own ammunition research lab, which could perform special optimization on bullets and shells.
[Special explanation: After building the ammunition factory, you can continuously obtain ammunition support. There is no need to buy it from the base, saving a large amount of gold coins.]
"These two factories will be built immediately. You can arrange the location yourself.”Hong Lang had a lot of trust in Chen Gao. This was a senior engineer given to him by the base. He was much more familiar with the operation of the base than he was. Moreover, he was willing to leave the specific matters to professionals.
"I've already made the arrangements. The base has spent 9000 gold coins, leaving 3200 gold coins.”Chen Gao kindly reminded him. The gold coins were about to run out.
Hong Lang now had another goal in his heart, which was to destroy as many Japanese troops as possible. This way, he could get more base gold coins and gain more benefits.
"What can we do with so little gold coins?”Hong Lang looked at the 3,000 gold coins and felt a headache. Chen Gao immediately found an icon. "Commander, we can build a war chariot factory.”
Tank Factory (Light):
Military Logistics Unit. Construction price: 2000 gold coins. Land area: 2000 square meters. Construction time: 1 day.
[Description: Light Tank Factory. Able to build small armored vehicles. As this base is a tri-party combination, it can be built by the United Army, the Alliance Army, or the Glory of the Republic.]
The construction price was not high, but it was cost-effective. It was one of the must-have factories for commanders in the early stages.
[Special explanation: The production of the war chariot factory is limited by the steel production of the steel base. If the steel production is insufficient, the production of the war chariot factory will stop. Only when there are new steel resources will the production be restarted.]
Due to the commander's rank of captain, the current products that can be built are anti-air tracked vehicles, infantry transport vehicles, light rhinoceros tanks, and light grizzly bear tanks.
The Rhinoceros Tank and the Grizzly Bear Tank were very envious, but their prices were really shocking. He only had 1200 gold coins left, and he didn't have many cars. He could only build one, but they consumed so much oil. He didn't have an oil production base, so he couldn't afford to raise these gas tigers.
Hong Lang looked at all the money and could only choose the anti-air tracked vehicle with lower fuel consumption. First of all, the fuel consumption of this vehicle was only a quarter of that of a tank, and the construction cost was only 400 yuan. His gold coins were just enough to build three of them and form an anti-air tracked vehicle platoon.
More importantly, because he did not have an air force unit now, the Japanese Air Force would put a huge pressure on him. In order to protect the base, the air defense unit had to be built first.
