Late at night, three huge campfires were lit in the valley. Since the valley was already exposed, there was no worry about being discovered. The campfire illuminated the valley entrance, and the Hook Tribe's ard personnel were racing against ti to repair fortifications, sweating profusely. For survival and to protect their tribe and families, no one complained at all, everyone worked full force, not even ntioning rest.
Luo Zheng saw the army's morale was usable, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting around the campfire with Hook, chatting about the situation of the war, Lan Xue was present, Captain Li and core officers like Shadow were also there. Everyone spoke freely, expressing their opinions and solutions, while Hook continuously translated for his subordinates to widen their vision and understanding. Ti slipped away unknowingly.
With the big battle imminent, no one was sleepy. As dawn approached, Luo Zheng glanced at his watch and suddenly exclaid joyfully, "Brothers, our supplies and equipnt are about to be air-dropped. Keep the fire burning brightly to signal the direction. The enemies haven't attacked yet; they're likely waiting for daylight."
"Hahaha." Everyone laughed knowingly. If the enemy attacked continuously overnight, our pressure would skyrocket, and the air-dropped supplies couldn't land. Without Red Banner Six, the losses would be devastating. Unexpectedly, the enemy didn't attack, providing an invisible respite. With this ti, everyone's vigor increased, and their combat effectiveness would skyrocket. Not laughing at such good luck is impossible.
Soon, Lan Xing's voice ca through the earpiece, and not long after, many small white dots appeared in the star-filled night sky. Gradually, the small white dots beca larger and turned into parachutes. So drifted far, but most accurately descended into the valley. Luo Zheng observed the drifting parachutes, estimating they were laden with supplies and equipnt. Without controls, they'd drift, so he said to Hook, "Old friend, I need your help."
"No problem, it's my duty," Hook agreed knowingly and instructed Bao Li to arrange people to retrieve the drifting parachutes.
Soon, everyone saw the people beneath the parachutes, cheering excitedly. Before long, the parachuting people landed. Shadow and other National Blade mbers went up to greet them. Through the earpiece, Luo Zheng learned these were Red Banner Six operators sent by the Equipnt Team, skilled in shooting and repairs, and stood up excitedly.
Soon, everyone surrounded a group of people who were fully ard. They quickly lined up in formation, and the leader rushed to Luo Zheng, saluted, and reported, "Report to the Chief Commander, Equipnt Team's Technical Squad reports. Expected 50, actual 50, awaiting instructions, Squad Leader Wei Jian."
"At ease, thank you for your hard work," Luo Zheng said warmly, his eyes eagerly scanning everyone. Each person looked lively and energetic. Although it was the first ti cooperating with the Equipnt Team, unfamiliar with everyone's combat capabilities, he had great trust in the equipnt produced by the Equipnt Team. Moreover, everyone seed quite spirited, should be capable in battle, secretly relieved.
Squad Leader Wei Jian then introduced three small team leaders, and Luo Zheng greeted everyone one by one. Seeing Shadow, Snow Fox, and Boozer appeared familiar with these folks, he smiled, "Thank you for your support. Your three teams will be allocated among their three teams to cooperate, the main task being air defense. Any issues?"
"No problem, guarantee mission success," the squad leader and three team leaders quickly saluted and shouted.
Luo Zheng introduced Hook, who knew these were the future backbone of air defense, vital in determining the war's outco, and dare not neglect, imdiately greeted everyone and arranged food preparation. After so small talk, Luo Zheng let everyone disband, gathering around the campfire to eat together.
However, Wei Jian didn't imdiately agree, hesitated montarily, and proposed checking the equipnt. As they were air-dropped, any loss or damage? How to deploy? These must be clarified right away. Seeing Wei Jian's dedication reassured Luo Zheng and promptly let Wei Jian detach six people, three per group, to follow Ghost Hand and Snow Leopard on missions.
After Wei Jian inquired about the situation in detail, he agreed and went with his team. Ghost Hand and Snow Leopard also went with helpers. As Luo Zheng watched Wei Jian leave, he felt relieved. Everyone continued sitting around the campfire, chatting idly.
Half an hour later, Wei Jian, accompanied by Shadow, hurried over, his deanor serious. After saluting, he reported, "Reporting, no equipnt lost, none damaged, everyone has been arranged as needed."
"Great! From now on, we're trench brothers, don't be too formal, take it easy. Constant saluting on the battlefield can get you shot by a sniper. Sit down, eat. You seem familiar with our Shadow brother?" Luo Zheng joked, urging Wei Jian to sit.
"Sort of, he often visits to 'borrow' our stuff," Wei Jian glanced at Shadow, laughing.
"Borrow? It's maximizing weapon value, okay? Left with you it's scrap tal, with it turns into a killing tool, okay?" Shadow argued displeased, then laughed bashfully, looking at Luo Zheng, continuing, "Bro, don't underestimate them; they're all battle-hardened veterans under technical squad badges. They're forged on the battlefield."
"Purely to intensely test weapon performance and suitability in battle, compared to you warriors, we're far behind. Still, I assure you; we won't hold you back and will fulfill every order without fail," Wei Jian quickly assured.
"You guys also go to the battlefield?" Luo Zheng curiously inquired.
"Yes, how else would we know if weapons are reasonable? Where needs improvent? Although combat personnel highlight so practical use inadequacies, without technical personnel personally experiencing, it's hard to empathize, thereby effectively, reasonably improving weapons," Wei Jian explained earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zheng was deeply respectful. Few weapon researchers do this; most draw blueprints in the armory, toss them into production, adjust based on user feedback, wasting ti without ideal results. His expression turned solemn, sincerely saying, "On behalf of the brothers, thank you. Without your developed weapons, we'd be dead by now. This battle is arduous for all."
"It's nothing, just what we should do," Wei Jian quickly responded.
"You should thank him. Your belt, and the Dragon Tooth Blade your squad uses, are presided over by him," Shadow added earnestly beside him.
"Really? Then I'm even more grateful," Luo Zheng smiled gratefully, Wei Jian laughed too, their closeness instantly increased significantly, boosting Luo Zheng's confidence for the upcoming battle.
