Chapter 67 Opening the System Mall, Black Shop
"Yang Lin? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Yoshio Shinozuka was slightly stunned, as if he had heard this name somewhere before.
Yamamoto Ikki reminded: "Commander, this is the man who raided the Sakata Brigade Headquarters in Cangyun Ridge before.
In addition, this person was also the one who attacked the Wanjia Town and Qinghe Township railway stations.
Now his military rank has been promoted from the captain of the independent brigade to the commander of the independent battalion."
"Suoga!"
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded. Since he could become the commander of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army, he was definitely not a fool who would just get angry when something happened.
After the events at Sakata Brigade and Wanjia Town, he had become somewhat immune to Yang Lin.
Moreover, the loss of the prisoner-of-war camp was nothing to the entire Japanese army in Shanxi.
Yamamoto Ikki said: "Commander, this Yang Lin has repeatedly caused losses to the Imperial Army and has become the Imperial Army's top concern in the northwest of Shanxi."
"Therefore, I beg the Commander to allow me to lead my troops to eliminate this damned guy!"
Shinozuka Yoshio said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Yamamoto, do you know that there is an old saying in China, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?
Yang Lin did cause some damage to the imperial army, but in the final analysis he was just a clown. "
"Of course, I will not let go of anyone who brings shame to the Imperial Army!"
"I have my own arrangements for this matter, so you don't need to interfere."
"Also, the observation group from the front headquarters will arrive in a month. I hope you won't let me down!"
"Hayi!"
Yamamoto Ikki bowed his head heavily: "Please rest assured, Commander. The special forces are stepping up their training during this period and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
The incident of the observation group was of great importance. It concerned the fate of Yamamoto's special forces and even more so the reputation of Yoshio Shinozuka.
Therefore, Yamamoto Ikki did not dare to be careless at all.
And he has already planned how to gain the approval of those old antiques in the front army!
Beheading, carry out beheading operation on the Eighth Route Army headquarters!
Although the last operation ended in failure, Yamamoto Ikki did not gain nothing. That is, the Eighth Route Army's traditional combat deployment was simply vulnerable to the new special operations!
Invisibly, this increased Yamamoto Ikki's confidence.
It won't be long before the new special operations will be recognized by the front army and even the headquarters, and Yamamoto Ikki's talent will have a chance to be fully displayed! ...
On the other side, Yang Linggang led his troops back to Luotuoling when he heard a familiar electronic prompt tone.
"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host, you have successfully rescued the prisoners and unlocked the achievement of 'rescue from the jaws of death'. Rewards: 1 silver treasure chest, 100 individual first aid kits, merit points +80,000, experience points +80,000."
"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host for leveling up and obtaining a gold treasure chest."
"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host, the level has been raised to 5, the system mall has been unlocked, the host can check the required items and purchase them by himself."
Why was the reward given only now? Was it because the rescue was completed only after returning to Luotuo Ridge and completely escaping the enemy's pursuit?
Yang Lin did not dwell on this issue, but opened the system mall with excitement and impatience.
Currently, the mall only has three categories: weapons, medical supplies, and skill books.
The weapons are divided into several categories, including pistols, rifles, grenades, machine guns, and artillery. Of course, the ammunition needed for various weapons is also for sale.
But without exception, the prices are sky-high.
Taking the Mauser 98k rifle and the Mosin-Nagant rifle as examples, it takes 100 merit points to purchase one.
You should know that killing an ordinary Japanese soldier will only reward you with 1 merit point, while killing a second lieutenant officer will give you 100 merit points.
In other words, a Japanese second lieutenant officer was only worth one Mauser 98k rifle or Mosin-Nagant rifle.
The Zhongzheng rifle and Type 38 rifle are relatively cheaper, but they also require 80 merit points for one.
Even the cheapest Hanyang rifle requires 50 merit points.
Bullets are worth 10 merit points each.
Seeing the price, Yang Lin couldn't help but exclaimed that it was really a shady shop!
Damn it! If we simply rely on killing the Japanese to support the war, we won’t be able to buy weapons, let alone bullets.
Fortunately, the independent battalion does not need to purchase guns and ammunition at present.
Of course, machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars, etc. will only be more expensive than rifles.
Among them, the Type 99 light machine gun has 500 merit points per gun, while the Czech-type has as high as 1,000 merit points per gun.
As for the Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun and the mg42 general-purpose machine gun, they are ridiculously expensive, requiring 5,000 merit points to exchange for one.
In addition, all the artillery sold in the mall are below 70mm in caliber, and their power is not as strong as Miss 75, which is the Italian cannon.
Yang Lin didn't even bother to take a closer look. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't go to this black shop to buy weapons and equipment.
There are also very few medical supplies on sale, only some simple hemostatic drugs, anesthetics, medical alcohol, gauze, bandages, etc.
Even antibiotics such as morphine and penicillin were unavailable, and their prices were incredibly high.
A hemostatic medicine for a 10-centimeter-long wound requires 50 merit points, a 500ml bottle of medical alcohol requires 100 merit points, and a general anesthetic for one person requires 200 merit points...
This is a money grab!
The classification of skill books is very complete, it can be called an encyclopedia, and it contains all kinds of skill books.
There are classes on all kinds of subjects, including languages of various countries, sports, music, etc. There are even classes on cooking and driving excavators.
Of course, there are also those about military warfare.
Among them, there is one basic skill book with 100 merit points.
1 intermediate skill book with 1000 merit points.
1 advanced skill book with 10,000 merit points.
1 perfect skill book with 100,000 merit points.
Yang Lin fixed his eyes on the excavator skill book. Well, when the Anti-Japanese War is over, he will go to Jinan, Shandong to establish an excavator school. What will it be called?
…
The opening of the system mall cannot be said to be useless, but it did not meet Yang Lin’s expectations. There was not even a 150mm caliber heavy artillery.
But on second thought, given the nature of the system, he probably wouldn't be able to afford it even if it existed.
After exiting the mall, Yang Lin glanced at his personal attribute panel again.
Host: Yang Lin

After opening the system mall, the skill book will not automatically merge with the host, you can choose to merge or recycle).
Seeing the last column, Yang Lin's mind suddenly became active, and he asked: "System, can the skill book I obtained before be recycled?"
For example, skills such as Baguazhang and Eagle Claw may seem powerful, but they are actually not very useful. When you are short of money in the future, you can recycle them and use them for emergencies.
"No!" the system replied coldly.
"Um, okay..."
Yang Lin was helpless.
…
Afterwards, Yang Lin announced a half-day holiday and ordered the kitchen staff to prepare more than 1,000 kilograms of braised pork. He wanted to reward the troops well and also win over their hearts.
The next day, Yang Lin dispersed the rescued prisoners of war into various companies and conducted military training with the company commanders.
While Yang Lin was supervising the training of each company with the monk, he also asked him about some things in the POW camp, hoping to see if he could find some treasures.
When he learned from the monk that Hou Meng was the company commander of the reconnaissance company, his eyes lit up.
What a talent!
Yang Lin originally planned to form a reconnaissance company, but he had never found the right person.
Unexpectedly, this rescue of the monk also brought him another surprise.
Having made up his mind, Yang Lin turned to the monk beside him and said, "Monk, go and call Hou Meng over to me immediately."
"yes!"
The monk readily agreed and immediately turned and left.
Soon, the monk came over with Hou Meng, who had a full beard.
"Captain, I heard from the monk that you were looking for me?"
Hou Meng looked at Yang Lin with some excitement. Although he didn't know why Yang Lin came to find him, he could tell from the monk's words that it was definitely good news.
