"Comrade Luo is truly a rare talent! She's incredible," someone exclaimed.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Yes."
And they provided so many supplies and advanced weaponries. Lightweight, warm clothing, bulletproof vests...
"Let's go. Comrade Luo has been good to us. We can't let her down. Let's tally up the points we can exchange. When everything is over, we'll transfer the points to Comrade Luo."
"Don't worry. I've already sent someone to test exchanging points with the meal cart.
We can still afford many of the items. The meal cart is amazing; it can exchange points for even a broken bowl, a piece of cloth, or a piece of wood, let alone gold, silver, or books. This way, the villagers can eat more."
"Yes, we don't need to worry about Political Commissar Zhao either. The items given to them should be enough for them to exchange points at Hao Yun Lai and stay for a while."
"Alright, we still have a lot to do. We need to verify the number of supplies. Distribute the weapons to each team as quickly as possible and get the soldiers to learn how to use them. The books and materials from the bookstore should also be sorted and preserved based on their characteristics..."
.....
Meanwhile, Luo Yunshi was flying through the air with Political Commissar Zhao and others on a flying pan. Their speed was very fast, and they reached the vicinity of Hao Yun Lai in no time.
The buildings of Hao Yun Lai were located on a large mountain, with unique architecture, beautiful surroundings, and were strikingly conspicuous.
"Political Commissar Zhao, Commander Li, we've arrived," Luo Yunshi said, controlling the flying pan to stop slowly on the small square in front of the fast-food restaurant building.
The villagers rescued by Luo Yunshi had already settled here.
Everyone looked around Hao Yun Lai with curiosity.
"Oh my heavens, this is truly a wonderful place. Comrade Luo, you're amazing," Commander Li said with a laugh, praising her.
Luo Yunshi smiled and led Political Commissar Zhao and the others into Hao Yun Lai.
Some villagers were still inside the store. When they saw Luo Yunshi return, their eyes lit up. "Boss Luo is back."
"Ah, it's the Eighth Route Army." The villagers became excited again upon seeing Political Commissar Zhao and the others.
Luo Yunshi also smiled and nodded.
Political Commissar Zhao and the others had already been told by Luo Yunshi on the way that there were hundreds of villagers here, so they were not surprised and greeted the villagers warmly.
As the group entered the Hao Yun Lai store, Political Commissar Zhao and Commander Li were relatively calm, having seen virtual images on the rabbit meal cart and being somewhat prepared.
However, the soldiers they brought had never seen anything like it. Upon arriving at Hao Yun Lai, they were stunned by the beautiful environment, the nine-story building, the surrounding shops, and houses.
Commander Li saw this and laughed, scolding them. "Alright, stop gawking, everyone. Don't forget we're here on a mission. With such a good environment, you all better learn well."
"Yes. Don't worry, Commander, we will learn well."
They had received news that they were going out to learn, but they had no idea they would come to such a wonderful place.
Commander Li directed the soldiers to choose locations to set up tents and establish a temporary base. Hao Yun Lai became lively again.
After reviewing the store rules, Political Commissar Zhao and the others went to the exchange machine to redeem points.
Places like the simulation training room and internet cafe automatically deducted points upon entry, and they couldn't, nor did they want to, find Luo Yunshi for help every time.
When Luo Yunshi learned of this, she told them she could transfer points to everyone.
It was just exchanging points from one hand to the other, Luo Yunshi thought.
However, Political Commissar Zhao's strong attitude rejected Luo Yunshi's suggestion.
Seeing this, Luo Yunshi stopped trying to persuade him. After all, everything would be over in a few days.
Entering the simulation training room and internet cafe did require points. But Luo Yunshi worried they would be too frugal and reluctant to exchange for too much food, potentially not eating enough. She secretly decided to have Xing Yi prepare food daily and deliver it to their camp until the war ended.
The communication officers were sent to the Hao Yun Lai internet cafe to constantly check world events, record, and transmit information.
Soldiers learning to use weapons and improve their strength were sent to the simulation training room in batches for training.
Those who didn't get a number were assigned to the bookstore to study. The wounded were sent to the medical clinic for treatment.
Everything was in order.
Luo Yunshi had bought robot store managers before. She gave one to her parents and had four left.
All four store clerks were brought out to manage the stores. One became the store manager of Hao Yun Lai in this world, named Xiao Zhan. The other three were temporarily helping.
The one-mu farm was also handed over to the planting robot purchased earlier for management. Medicinal herbs were planted, and the planting was accelerated using the time accelerator.
The advanced weapons in the Weapon Pavilion were very important and could not fall into the hands of anyone other than soldiers, nor could they be leaked at this time, for fear of discovery by the Japanese or other countries. If Hao Yun Lai were destroyed, and something beyond their control happened.
With Luo Yunshi's permission, Political Commissar Zhao and the others sent people to guard the Weapon Pavilion at all times.
Everything was stable in the store. Luo Yunshi had Dali change into clothing identical to this era and take the flying pan to other places to rescue civilians. Those who wanted to leave and go to Hao Yun Lai were brought back by Dali.
Luo Yunshi, with Xing Yi, set off again at high speed to deliver supplies and communication equipment to other base areas. At the same time, she dispatched all her robots to wait for her summons in various locations, patiently awaiting the right moment.
As long as they had mobile phones, they could video call with the top leaders in the central government, saving Luo Yunshi the lengthy process of explaining things one by one, making things much more convenient.
.....
Gao Zheng, the brigade commander of the 264th Brigade, looked at the blown-up fortifications and the wounded soldiers covered in injuries with intense emotion.
They lacked clothing, food, and ammunition, but they still showed enough courage and perseverance to fight the invaders.
Since the war began, they had never considered giving up. But now, it was the final stage.
At this moment, their ammunition was all expended, and the entire brigade had only a few grenades left.
Gao Zheng questioned himself inwardly and cast a questioning glance at his subordinates.
At this time, no one spoke, because everyone's gaze was so firm!
They would rather die in battle than retreat. They would leave their last drop of blood on this position.
"Pass my final order: bring out all the grenades. When the enemy comes, let the sound of explosions be our last vow," Gao Zheng said fiercely.
The soldiers remained silent but carried out the order.
Gao Zheng turned to his subordinates and asked loudly, "Are you ready?"
All the soldiers raised their heads and nodded in unison.
"Very well! Charge!"
Gao Zheng brandished his saber and charged forward first.
"Kill~"
"Kill~"
The soldiers picked up their weapons and followed.
The eyes of each of them burned with a fiery madness. They wanted revenge for their fallen comrades!
Thus, General Gao led his men into a fierce bayonet charge against the Japanese invaders.
