Chapter 44: A Generous Reward (Part 1)
It's a tangled situation, but life has to go on. Since he couldn't refuse, Chen Feng had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
The Japanese army temporarily retreated to Huailai, and for a short time, the Xinghe-Tianzhen line was considered safe, but only temporarily. The other main forces of the Japanese army were advancing triumphantly, absolutely not allowing any "nails" to appear in their rear. Next time the Japanese come, it won't be as easy to deal with as this time.
On September 14, after several days of busy work, the troops were finally settled, and Chen Feng took Chen Tiewu and others back to their home in the county town. Although it was already very late, neither Chen's mother nor Wang Qingya had rested, and both were waiting for Chen Feng in the main hall.
After chatting with his mother and Wang Qingya for a while, Chen Feng returned to his own room. He was anxious, this time the southern reinforcement of Tianzhen, the security team had a total of more than 8,000 troops, and the number of deaths exceeded 1,500, with more than 2,000 wounded, totaling one regiment.
The Little Devils suffered heavy losses, with nearly six thousand elite troops lost at the hands of Chen Feng. However, a big family can afford to lose, and compared to the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, six thousand people are just a drop in the bucket. As for themselves, their total strength was only around 14,000 people, and they had already lost a quarter of that in one go; if they kept fighting like this, after two or three more big battles, the Security Regiment would have to be removed from the National Government's combat roster.
Although the war zone officials and Old Chiang in Nanjing had promised to supplement his newly established 222nd Division, Chen Feng didn't really have much confidence. Weapons and equipment were one thing, but as for personnel, he was afraid neither side would be able to provide him with many reinforcements, because whether it was Yan Xishan or Old Chiang himself, their own military strength was also barely sufficient, so where would they find extra troops to supplement his division?
So Chen Feng had to pin his hopes on the system rewards. This time, in the southern expedition, Chen Feng's gains were enormous. He received a total of six system rewards: after annihilating a Japanese infantry squad and earning the title of "Squad Annihilator", he received one chance to draw a reward; after annihilating a Japanese infantry company and earning the title of "Company Annihilator", he received another chance to draw a reward; after annihilating a Japanese artillery battalion and earning the title of "Battalion Annihilator", he received yet another chance to draw a reward; after annihilating a Japanese infantry regiment and earning the title of "Regiment Annihilator", he received one more chance to draw a reward; after killing a Japanese Army Major General, he received another chance to draw a reward. By eliminating over 1,000 Japanese soldiers and earning the title of "Thousand-Man Slayer", he received his final chance to draw a reward.
The combat effectiveness of the troops needs to be improved urgently. If they can draw a military construction order, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly enhanced in a short period of time. With six chances to draw, Chen Feng has never felt as 'rich' as he does today.
Open the main page, and what enters the eye is still that familiar camouflage color. Chen Feng makes an effort to calm his emotions down, then issues a command - lottery draw.
"Annihilate the Japanese infantry squad and the host will receive the title of Squad Terminator. The system rewards a lottery chance once, do you want to start the lottery immediately?"
"Start"
Chen Feng took a look and found that the sub-items in the five major categories have undergone significant adjustments. The adjusted personal equipment is: Alloy Steel Helmet (manufacturing date 1990 AD), Alloy War Knife (manufacturing date 2022 AD), Special Military Combat Boots (manufacturing date 2010 AD), Special Warfare Uniform (manufacturing date 2007 AD), Super Shield (manufacturing date 2008 AD).
The adjusted base construction orders are: Railway Construction Order (100 km), Air Defense Shelter Construction Order (10), Medium-sized Mine Construction Order, Medium-sized Power Plant Construction Order, and Medium-sized Cement Factory Construction Order.
The adjusted personal enhancement is: Strength increased by 3 times, Agility increased by 3 times, Intelligence increased by 3 times, Spirituality increased by 3 times, Overall quality increased by 3 times.
The adjusted ordnance construction order is: Assault rifle production line (model: Soviet AK47 assault rifle), Machine gun production line (model: Czech BZ26 light machine gun), Heavy machine gun (model: Japanese 92-style heavy machine gun), High-altitude machine gun (model: Chinese 75-style high-altitude machine gun), Mortar production line (model: Soviet 80-style).
Adjusted personal skills are: Beginner Knife Skills, Intermediate English, Intermediate Japanese, Beginner Intelligence Analysis, Intermediate Hand-to-Hand Combat.
Chen Feng found that the adjusted sub-items and the pre-adjusted sub-items had huge differences. Although the pre-adjusted sub-items also had things after World War II, most of them were concentrated in personal equipment, which Chen Feng could understand as a privilege given by the system to protect the host. However, the era only stopped at 2013, the year he crossed over, and there was nothing from after 2013.
However, after adjusting the items, he found a 2022 alloy war knife. Chen Feng wasn't sure what an alloy war knife was, but it should be a cold weapon.
In addition, the Military Construction Order has also undergone significant changes. The weapons and equipment in the previous Military Construction Orders were all pre-World War II items, but this time they include post-World War II AK47 assault rifles, and even China's 75-style anti-aircraft machine guns appeared.
But overall, Chen Feng was still very happy. After the adjustment, each item had fewer drawbacks and more advantages. Chen Feng couldn't help but think that if one day this system could list atomic bombs, neutron bombs, and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, those little devils and Western foreigners would dare to challenge him. If they didn't believe it, he'd take his aircraft carrier to their doorstep. If they still didn't believe it, then let them taste the atomic bomb.
With Chen Feng's command, the pointer on the compass began to rotate rapidly. After about a minute, Chen Feng finally gave the termination command - stop.
The needle rotated slightly forward for a few seconds before finally stopping on the railway construction order in the base construction order.
Chen Feng's heart was filled with excitement, this railway construction order was a good thing, although it was only 100 kilometers, but it was enough to connect several county towns within Chen Feng's current defense zone. However, Chen Feng didn't have time to deal with this now, so he could only save the construction order in the system.
"Annihilate the Japanese Army Infantry Squad, the host obtains the title of 'Squad Terminator', the system rewards a lottery chance once, do you want to start the lottery immediately?"
"Start"
Stop
The pointer finally stopped at the entry-level intelligence analysis ability in personal skills. After a daze, Chen Feng suddenly felt that his brain had a lot more things, all about intelligence gathering and analysis, etc., very miscellaneous but very practical.
Chen Feng was suddenly overjoyed. The intelligence aspect was currently a weakness of the security team, and he himself knew nothing about it, so the intelligence department of the troops was just an empty shell. Now that he had this knowledge, Chen Feng was confident that he could cultivate a powerful intelligence force.
"Annihilate the Japanese artillery battalion, the host gets the title of Battalion Terminator, the system rewards a lottery chance once, do you want to start the lottery immediately?"
"Start"
Stop
The pointer spun rapidly and finally stopped at the special military combat boots. Sensing Chen Feng's command, a pair of black iron-plated combat boots suddenly appeared in front of him. Chen Feng was very familiar with this kind of boot, having worn them for five or six years in his previous life. These boots were not ordinary military leather boots - they could automatically adjust the temperature to keep feet warm in winter and cool in summer, and their weight was only half that of regular boots. Moreover, they were extremely durable. They were special equipment that only the top special forces of the Republic could use, and ordinary troops did not have access to them.
"Annihilate the Japanese Army Infantry Regiment, the host obtains the title of Regiment Terminator, and the system rewards a lottery chance. Do you want to start the lottery immediately?"
"Start"
Stop
This time the pointer stopped at the high-speed machine gun, and suddenly Chen Feng's mind had more information about this high-speed machine gun. 75-style 14.5mm high-speed machine gun, made in China.
Barrel length: 3900 mm
Barrel length: 1342 mm
Gross weight: 140 kilograms
Single-barreled gun weight: 19.5 kg
Initial velocity: 980-995 m/s
Theoretical rate of fire: 550-600 rounds/min

Effective range: 2,000 meters (anti-aircraft)
1000 meters (flat shot)
Clip capacity: 80 rounds
Cartridge: 56-100PSO
14.5×114 mm
The gun consists of a Type 56 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun body and mount, with the lower mount adopting a tripod. The sighting equipment consists of an anti-aircraft sight and a flat-fire sight, with the latter fixed on the former's optical tube. The anti-aircraft sight is an optical telescopic ring sight, while the flat-fire sight is that of the Type 58 twin AA machine gun.
The gun uses a gas-assisted recoil short-stroke automatic principle, with a rotating bolt head, interrupted thread and barrel connection locking method; closed-loop ammunition belt and magazine feeding, implementing fully automatic fire; using an air-cooled replaceable barrel. The gun is equipped with a high-parallax optical sight. In addition to using armor-piercing incendiary and armor-piercing bullets, it also uses various 56-style 14.5mm machine gun bullets. Old and new ammunition are interchangeable, fully functional, long-range, and powerful. It is suitable for combat in various regions and natural conditions; can destroy enemy armed helicopters and other airborne targets; can damage enemy infantry fighting vehicles, armored transport vehicles, light boats and other thin-skinned armored targets on the ground and water surface; Can also block roads or mountain passes, suppress enemy firepower points and annihilate enemy cluster mobile targets.
Chen Feng let out a long sigh of relief, damn it was exciting, this is the 75-style anti-aircraft machine gun, leading this era by more than 40 years, grandma's, even in 2013 before Chen Feng crossed over, some troops still had such equipment.
Although this anti-aircraft machine gun is getting smaller and smaller for the increasingly advanced fighter jets in the 21st century, it was absolutely a super killer in that era. Whether it's the little devil's infantry fighting vehicle or armored aircraft, not many are needed, just four to eight of these anti-aircraft machine guns can form a death zone within a radius of five kilometers, and the little devil's stupid planes were shot down one by one like birds.
