On the battlefield, damaged weapons and equipment were collected, repaired, and redistributed. The battlefield, freshly cleared from the smoke, was a scene of chaos. A variety of broken weapons and equipment lay scattered across the ground, some warped and deformed, others riddled with bullet holes and scratches. Teams of soldiers swiftly sprang into action, meticulously searching every nook and cranny, leaving no stone unturned for anything of use. One soldier bent down and picked up a rifle with a broken stock, the blood still stained. He gently brushed away the dust, as if handling a precious treasure. Another soldier laboriously dragged out a cannon with a bent barrel. Despite its battered state, it was still considered a potent weapon that could return to battle. The collected weapons and equipment were continuously transported to a makeshift repair area, where artisans were already busy. Skilled in their tools, they assessed and repaired each item. An experienced craftsman, intently working on a desk lamp, soldered a broken bayonet. Sparks flew, illuminating his sweaty face. Nearby, several young assistants strained to straighten twisted gun barrels, their arms tense and breathing heavily. Repaired weapons and equipment underwent rigorous inspection and testing before being redistributed to the soldiers. A newly repaired submachine gun was handed to a young soldier. He took it, feeling its weight, his eyes gleaming with determination, as if ready to face new battles with it. On this battlefield, damaged weapons and equipment, repaired and redistributed, once again became powerful tools for the soldiers to defend their homeland and secure victory.

The collapsed fortifications were being rebuilt at full speed, ensuring the base's security was intact. On the battlefield, the once sturdy fortifications were reduced to shattered ruin by the fierce fighting, with broken bricks and stones scattered across the ground and broken wooden stakes lying in a chaotic mess. The soldiers quickly assembled and plunged into the frantic reconstruction work. A group of soldiers, carrying thick logs and shouting in unison, hurried toward the collapsed area. Their faces were covered in sweat and dust, but their eyes were filled with determination. Each log was precisely placed in its designated position, laying the foundation for the new fortifications. Another group of soldiers was busy carrying stones. Stooping, their hands tightly grasping the heavy stones, they moved forward step by step with difficulty. The dull sound of the stones scraping against the ground seemed to tell of the brutality of the battle. Craftsmen, armed with hammers and nails, worked on the newly constructed wooden frames. The sound of hammers hitting each other echoed like the rapid beat of drums. Their hands worked expertly, ensuring every joint was secure. Some were mixing cement, others were laying bricks, the scene bustling with activity. The commander patrolled the area, frequently loudly reminding the soldiers to pay attention to the quality and progress of the work. Throughout the reconstruction process, soldiers constantly came to report on the surrounding situation, ensuring that no enemy attacks could occur while the fortifications were being rebuilt. Every step was closely linked, with no slack in sight. As the sun set, its golden afterglow cast a golden glow over the busy figures. Thanks to the soldiers' efforts, the collapsed fortifications gradually stood up again. Though not yet fully completed, their solid outlines were already taking shape, adding a new layer of security to the base's defenses.

Xiao Yi carefully counted the supplies seized from the enemy base, including food, medicine, and weapons. Standing in a warehouse overflowing with supplies, Xiao Yi's expression was focused and serious. In his hands, he held a tattered ledger densely filled with the names and quantities of various items. The first thing that caught his eye was the neatly stacked piles of grain bags. Xiao Yi approached, gently caressing the rough bags, feeling the weight of the grain. He carefully examined the variety and quality of the grain, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. "This food will provide additional security for the soldiers and the civilians behind the lines," he murmured to himself. Next, he moved to the area where medicines were stored. Boxes of medicine were neatly arranged. He opened one, picked up a bottle, and carefully examined the label and expiration date. "These medicines are lifesaving; they must be properly distributed and used," he muttered as he recorded them. Next, he looked at the weapons. Xiao Yi approached the pile of captured weapons, picked up a rifle, and expertly examined its components. He then picked up several grenades, checking their safety mechanisms to ensure they were in good working order. "With these weapons, our combat effectiveness can be further improved." A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. Xiao Yi did not miss any details. He carefully checked the quantity of each material, thinking about how to reasonably distribute and utilize these hard-earned resources. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, but his hands never stopped recording. During the inventory process, he communicated with the assistants around him from time to time, asking about the source and transportation of materials. His brain was working rapidly, calculating the advantages and changes that these materials could bring to his side. When the last item of material was counted, Xiao Yi closed the account book and breathed a sigh of relief. But he knew that this was just the beginning. How to make better use of these materials was the more important task next.

These resources are crucial to the base's further development. Food is the cornerstone of the base's survival. A sufficient food supply means the base's inhabitants no longer have to endure hunger, allowing soldiers to maintain sufficient strength for training and combat, and allowing civilians to focus on production and construction. With a stable food supply, the base can avoid the chaos and hardship caused by famine, allowing residents to plan for the future in a relatively stable environment. Medicines are crucial to everyone's health and well-being. Effective medicines can save countless lives in the face of injury and illness. Whether it's a soldier wounded on the battlefield or a sick civilian on the base, these medicines provide timely treatment, alleviating suffering and increasing hope for survival. The availability of medicines provides the base with a weapon against illness, ensuring basic well-being and stabilizing public sentiment. Weapons are crucial for the base's defense and resistance against external enemies. Advanced weaponry enhances the base's defensive and offensive capabilities, deterring the enemy from easily invading. More weapons mean more soldiers can be equipped, strengthening military capabilities, and providing a more solid foundation for the base's security. They also help the base gain the initiative in future battles and secure more living space and development opportunities. The acquisition of these resources has injected powerful momentum into the development of the base's industrial, agricultural, and medical sectors. They not only meet current needs but also provide strong support for the base's future planning. With these resources, the base can expand production, enhance its technological capabilities, and cultivate more talent, thereby achieving all-round development and growth.
