Zuo Feiyang accidentally transmigrates into the world of "Drawing Sword". From the start, to keep Li Yunlong in the New First Regiment, he tricks him into signing a pledge of allegiance with headquarters.
Then he suggests that each battalion and company split up and develop independently, recruiting soldiers and acquiring weapons and equipment.
Half a year later, the whole regiment reunites.
The Second Battalion Commander: "Reporting to the regimental commander, the Second Battalion is back. We have a thousand soldiers, and every one of them has a gun."
"We also have five heavy machine guns, five mortars, and ten light machine guns."
Li Yunlong: "Everyone's got a gun? Not bad, not bad."
Zhang Dabiao, the First Battalion Commander: "Reporting to the regimental commander, the First Battalion is back. We have 2,000 soldiers, all equipped with Type 38 rifles, along with a number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, plus one Italian cannon."
Li Yunlong: "Zhang Dabiao, you did an amazing job. Bring that Italian cannon over so I can take a look."
Kong Jie: "Old Li, what kind of battalion is this? You could be a brigade commander with a force like that. Congratulations!"
"But brothers should share the good fortune. Half the men in my Independent Regiment don't even have guns!"
Li Yunlong: "Well, uh... Could Xiao Zuo spare some for us?"
"By the way, where is Xiao Zuo? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Zhang Dabiao suddenly shouted: "Commander, look! What's that?"
Rows upon rows of tanks, artillery, and soldiers came slowly into view. Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Kong Jie, and all the soldiers were stunned.
Zuo Feiyang: "Reporting to the regimental commander, the Special Operations Battalion is back. We have 50,000 soldiers, all equipped with American weapons."
Li Yunlong: "Good grief! Don't call me regimental commander. You could be an army commander yourself."
MP40 is a submachine gun.
A book with a hundred chapters? How the hell is that readable?
What a load of crap! Half of the novel's hundred-plus chapters are dedicated to a single plot point, and the latter half is entirely about Japan, with absolutely no mention of Li Yunlong's side. Thumbs down!
I was a bit confused in Chapter 20. They said you could call Li Yunlong from the enemy's pillbox. Do they even know what a landline phone is? I thought they had cell phones.
