Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

When Brigade Commander Chen, who had just returned from there, heard his old friend talking about the arsenal, he immediately became interested.

"This is just the beginning. Xiao Kong promised us that in a few months, the cement plant will be able to produce 1,000 tons of cement per month. By then, our Taiyue Military Region will be able to get at least 30 tons of cement per month, which is a considerable amount."

"And the hydropower station is also of great importance. It can enable our Eighth Route Army Arsenal to enter the era of electrification in one fell swoop."

"Because our military zone is closest to the arsenal, the headquarters has given us the task of guarding. We must make sure nothing goes wrong."

Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Chief of Staff Li walked in hurriedly.

"Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, urgent message from the Independent Regiment."

In fact, what the brigade commander and the political commissar least wanted to hear was the telegram from the independent regiment, especially an urgent one.

The Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment are currently the strongest forces responsible for the security of the arsenal. Once something happens on their side and the Japanese know the location and scale of the arsenal, it is estimated that Yoshio Shinozuka and his First Army will go crazy and rush over to destroy the arsenal at all costs.

With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it cannot defeat the powerful First Army of the Japanese. In addition, if the bald guy knew the details, he would probably try to sabotage it.

The best way now is to develop in a low-key manner and accumulate strength slowly.

After listening to the telegram, the brigade commander and the political commissar immediately went to the map on the wall and carefully examined the situation.

After a long while, the brigade commander said doubtfully:

"This is irrational. According to the Japanese Yamazaki Battalion's marching route, it is impossible for them to reach the arsenal. I wonder which part of our process went wrong?"

After Political Commissar Wang finished looking at the map, he said seriously:

"Old Chen, now is not the time to talk about this. We need to come up with a good plan and not let any accidents happen in the arsenal."

"But now even if we mobilize other troops in the military region to provide support, it is too late."

"And those transferred there must be the main force. The ordinary basic regiments are simply useless."

Chief of Staff Li also felt that this was a troublesome matter. Their military region only had so many main force troops and could not withdraw any extra ones.

However, Brigade Commander Chen had a different view on this. Unlike the other two political commissars and chiefs of staff who were frowning and thinking about how to break the deadlock, he smiled and said:

"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, there is no need to worry too much. When I went to the Arsenal last time, I discussed this situation with Xiao Kong. The Arsenal has also made a detailed plan for this situation."

"Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie are all capable of fighting tough battles. What's more valuable is that their strengths complement each other and can play the greatest role in the battle."

"The Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment together have more than 4,000 people. With the addition of a highly powerful special forces team, it won't be a big problem for them to deal with a small Yamazaki Battalion."

"The most important thing now is, how much of a surprise can these four rascals bring to us when they get together? Can we defeat the Yamazaki Battalion or completely annihilate it?"

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Li said in surprise:

"Commander, this is a bit unbelievable. This is a reinforced battalion of the Japanese. Even if some have been lost during this period, there are still more than 1400 people."

"Although our troops are several times larger than the enemy's, it would be no problem to defeat them, but it would be too difficult to annihilate them completely."

Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open again, and the chief of the military district's telecommunications department walked in with a telegram.

"Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, Telegram from the Independent Regiment."

Chief of Staff Li took the telegram and read it carefully, then said with a smile:

"Brigade Commander, you really guessed it right. Li Yunlong sent their battle plan to me, saying that they want to completely wipe out this reckless Japanese army."

After that, he explained Li Yunlong's battle plan in detail.

The brigade commander and the political commissar simulated the battle plan on the map and finally nodded with satisfaction.

Political Commissar Wang couldn't help but sigh, "I have to say, this battle plan is really good. There is a great chance that the Yamazaki Battalion will be completely wiped out. In particular, sending two main forces to ambush the other two forces of the Yamazaki Battalion with absolute strength and cut off the connection between them is a stroke of genius."

"But Li Yunlong is leading more than a thousand people to resist the main force of more than 700 Japanese soldiers. The pressure is a bit too much. If they can't hold on, all the plans will fail."

After hearing this, the brigade commander held a different opinion.

"Compared to the other two ambushes, I have higher hopes for Li Yunlong's positional warfare. You may not know that the defensive position of the arsenal is so well built."

"A lot of cement was used to build many bunkers and permanent fortifications. One battalion can easily resist the attack of an enemy battalion."

"Although Base No. 2 is just an empty shell used to attract the enemy's attention, the corresponding fortifications should be pretty good."

"All we can do now is to hold back the enemy in other directions and not allow other Japanese troops to go to the battlefield."

"Chief of Staff, I'm calling back. I've heard about it and I wish you success."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Wang and Chief of Staff Li did not say anything else and could only go about their work.

In the afternoon, Chief of Staff Li rushed in with another telegram.

"Commander, great news! The Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment have won a great victory. They have wiped out more than 1,400 Japanese soldiers from the Yamazaki Battalion, while our casualties are less than 500."

"In addition, Li Yunlong's telegram said that the special forces immediately killed the telegraph operator of the Yamazaki Battalion and destroyed the radio station, preventing the enemy from revealing the location of the arsenal."

"good, very good!"

After saying this, he marked the location of the arsenal on the battle map with a pencil and compared it with other Japanese troops that had advanced into the base.

"Chief of Staff, we have wiped out a reinforced battalion of the Japanese in such a short time and at such a small cost. The next battle will be easier."

"It won't be long before Shinozuka Yoshio receives the intelligence. One of his reinforcement battalions disappeared silently from our base in less than a day."

"I guess the old guy will definitely be wondering what kind of thing is hidden in this Eighth Route Army base that can easily wipe out a battalion of them."

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Li also took the opportunity to agree: "Since we can easily kill one of their battalions, it will not be difficult to kill the second and third ones."

"The remaining nine battalions of the Japanese will be the fat meat on our chopping board. We can eat them however we want."

"As long as Shinozuka Yoshio doesn't find out the truth of the matter, the only option left is to retreat."
