Li Yunlong was getting furious. Why did he join the army? It was to fight warlords and landlords. Chu Feng had grouped him with these people, how could he not be furious?

Before Li Yunlong could speak, Chu Feng's voice rang out again: "Furthermore, regarding the Dahuting stronghold, I not only obtained the permission of Minister Zhang of the General Logistics Department, but also the approval of the headquarters leaders."

As he spoke, he pulled out a telegram that had just been sent by the headquarters commander: "Here, if you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

At this moment, Li Yunlong, who was filled with rage, was stunned, and his eyes showed surprise, shock and helplessness.

That's right, Li Yunlong has seen his share of the world. He's been acting recklessly for so many years, but every time he's done it secretly, he's always done it on his own.

Why is this guard regiment different from mine?

To his utter surprise, the battle had alarmed the headquarters commander.

He, who had initially intended to throw a tantrum, instantly fell silent, revealing a sullen expression. But he stubbornly insisted, "Even if there were orders from headquarters, it's unacceptable that you came here without informing our Independent Regiment!"

He disobeyed orders and led a battalion out, while the guard regiment acted under orders. If we really investigate, the one in the wrong is Li Yunlong.

Seeing Li Yunlong stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake and looking aggrieved, Chu Feng didn't continue the topic. Instead, he smiled and reminded him, "Oh, by the way, Commander Li, from my observation, the Japanese devils in the Huting stronghold are probably a big fish."

"After my battle began, the headquarters commander said that the Japanese and puppet troops were rushing to reinforce this area."

As he spoke, his expression became extremely serious: "As a comrade, I must remind you at this moment."

"Based on the Independent Regiment's previous experience in Yangcun, I suspect that the Japanese special forces unit that crippled the Independent Regiment was likely targeting our headquarters."

"And all the overt troop movements of the Japanese and puppet troops could potentially provide cover for this unit."

He paused, then continued, "Your Independent Regiment is the headquarters' guard force. If that special forces unit attacks, your two battalions alone will likely find it difficult to hold them off."

"If something happens to headquarters, your head, Li Yunlong, is a small matter; the safety of the headquarters leaders is the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong's expression changed drastically as he instantly realized what was happening.

He immediately turned to Zhang Dabiao and yelled, "Zhang Dabiao!"

"Here!" Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao immediately stood at attention.

"Go back immediately and lead the First Battalion back to reinforce Chenjiayu!"

Although Li Yunlong was reckless, he was very shrewd.

Since the battle at Huting stronghold was intercepted by the guard regiment and he couldn't gain any advantage, the most important thing right now is to ensure the safety of the headquarters leaders.

Chu Feng wasn't threatening him. Compared to Li Yunlong's head, the headquarters commander was more important. If anything happened, even if Li Yunlong died, he couldn't make up for it.

Moreover, he was also enlightened by Chu Feng's words.

Given this confusing situation, it's quite possible that they're providing cover for that mysterious unit.

If they were to launch another surprise attack on headquarters, the political commissar and his two battalions would likely be unable to stop them.

Although Zhang Dabiao wanted to stay and watch the entire battle to see what the targets were in the stronghold, he also knew the military situation was urgent. Without hesitation, he replied, "Yes, Commander!" and then turned and strode away.

While the men were talking, the first, second, and third companies were already locked in fierce fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops in the Huting stronghold.

Relying on the buildings within the stronghold, everyone engaged in a frantic war of attrition and offensive.

The sound of artillery fire on the battlefield gradually subsided, but the sounds of explosions and gunfire became increasingly frequent.

Hand grenades exploded one after another, and the sounds of submachine guns and light machine guns firing were continuous.

Whether they were Japanese puppet troops or guards, they were all bloodthirsty at this moment.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops were outnumbered and outgunned, and their strongholds and fortifications had been destroyed, so they could not withstand the fierce attack of the guard regiment.

Their casualties increased rapidly, and their numbers dwindled.

A few minutes later, when the last explosion and gunshots subsided, the Tiger Pavilion stronghold fell completely silent.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening cheer erupted.

"We've won! We've won!!!"

"Hahaha!!!"

"Company Commander, Big Fish, a Japanese Major General!!!"

"My God, colonels, lieutenant colonels, majors, captains, lieutenants, second lieutenants, good heavens, they're all Japanese officers, more than two hundred in total."

"..."

Meanwhile, a system notification sounded in Chu Feng's mind: "Ding-dong!"

Upon hearing the notification sound, Chu Feng's lips curled up slightly. Without the slightest hesitation, he entered the system space.

Everything in the real world was frozen in time.

The moment he entered the system space, a series of system notification sounds rang in his ears.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for eliminating 728 Japanese and puppet troops, gaining 728 experience points and 74451 merit points!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your level has increased from level 4 to level 5! You have received the following level rewards: Intermediate Infantry Company Recruitment Card *1! Beginner Group Learning Buff: Water Drops Wear Away Stone *1!"

"Whoa!"

Seeing the two system notifications, Chu Feng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, I'm rich! This time I'm really rich!"

"My God!"

"Seventy-four thousand merit points, that's a huge windfall for me!"

Chu Feng was very excited. He guessed that he had been promoted again, and the promotion granted him a mid-level infantry company and a new buff.

Most importantly, after planning for so long, he finally obtained the substantial merit points that had been so highly anticipated.

"With these merit points, it's more than enough to upgrade training buffs, combat buffs, or invest in the armory to improve professional skills."

This was a huge profit!

Unable to contain his excitement, Chu Feng looked at the more than 70,000 merit points and scanned his attribute panel.

"What are you going to do with so many merit points?"

"We probably won't need that many 100mm mortars, so the best approach is to upgrade our skills or apply buffs."

Without thinking, he first looked at the buff section.

"well?!!"

"It seems that both of these buffs can be upgraded; one can become a master-level buff, and the other a high-level buff."

"Advanced and intermediate levels are already very impressive. What level would master and advanced levels be?"

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to wait and looked at his inventory, intending to check the upgrade rewards.

"Intermediate Infantry Company Recruitment Card: Upon use, the host will receive an infantry company of 180 men with intermediate skill levels. Each commander and soldier will have undergone three years of training and five years of combat experience, and will possess a junior high school education. (Note 1: An infantry company consists only of personnel, excluding weapons and equipment.)"

(Note 2: The company commander and platoon leader are both graduates of military academies.)

"Constant dripping wears away a stone (basic group learning buff): After using the equipment, the host and subordinate commanders will receive a buff during their daily learning."

Learning Attributes: During learning, you will gain +10% to Focus, +10% to Comprehension and Memory, and +1% to Inspiration.

Summary of the buff: The effect wasn't amazing, but learning is like walking against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. Not everyone can become a top student, but as long as you persevere, the flower of victory will bloom for every hardworking commander.

Looking at the information provided by the two reward systems, Chu Feng's eyes lit up: "Holy crap?!"

"Awesome!!"

"This reward is amazing!!!"
