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

When the people in the second company heard this, they were overjoyed. They put down their old rifles and picked up the Japanese weapons and equipment on the ground.

Especially the ten Type 99 light machine guns and six grenade launchers, which are the most important heavy weapons for the Sichuan Army.

As for bullets, they were as full as they could be, even the pockets of their military uniforms were filled to the brim.

They probably had never been so wealthy since they left Sichuan, and the feeling of having bags full of bullets really made them feel happy.

Kong Hao also took the opportunity to put about 200 kilograms of sugar, 2000 sulfa tablets and 10 kilograms of sulfa powder on the Japanese car. These were exactly what the Sichuan Army urgently needed after a long period of fighting.

In addition, all the Type 92 heavy machine gun bullets, Turtle Box pistol bullets, and Type 92 infantry gun shells in the truck were specially stored in the space.

To be honest, even if these things were given to the Sichuan Army, they would not be used for the time being and would instead become a burden.

Through the system, Kong Hao exchanged 6.5 90mm bullets, Japanese-made Type grenades, grenade launcher-specific grenades, three Japanese-made Type mm light mortars and artillery shells.

To be honest, in this kind of positional warfare, the Japanese melon grenade is the most suitable for the Sichuan Army and is the most convenient to operate.

These grenades are enough for each soldier of the Sichuan Army to receive about twenty grenades. As long as everyone hides in their positions and throws grenades at the Japanese, they can easily break the enemy's offensive.

It’s just sad that for troops like the Sichuan Army and the Eighth Route Army, basic weapons and equipment like grenades were never in sufficient supply.

The Eighth Route Army was better off, after all, they had their own arsenal. Although the quality of the products made in the border area was not good, the quantity produced every month was still not small, and each soldier could get at least two.

But the Sichuan Army was not well-received by others, and material supplies were basically sporadic, so it was lucky for a soldier to get one.

After Kong Hao finished all this, he smiled and said:

"Let's go and see what good stuff the Japs have loaded on their vehicles."

After saying that, he led his men to the nearest truck, where there was a dead Japanese truck driver, who had just been killed by the special forces.

When Kong Hao saw the things being lifted off the truck, he immediately became overjoyed.

"We're lucky. They turned out to be the Japanese compressed biscuits and canned beef."

"Captain Wu, let the brothers eat something to replenish their energy."

When everyone heard that it was food, they couldn't help themselves. The few people closest to them climbed onto the car and took out various compressed biscuits and canned food boxes. The others also pried the boxes open and distributed the supplies inside.

Two compressed biscuits per person and a can of beef shared by two people; this alone made the Sichuan Army extremely happy.

As soon as the food was handed out, everyone began to devour it, including the special forces members. After all, they had been traveling for such a long time and had also carried out a small-scale raid, which consumed a lot of their physical strength.

It must be said that the Japanese army's dry rations at this time were made of relatively solid materials, and there was an immediate burst of praise from the scene:

"Although the Japanese are really bastards, I have to say that the dry food they make is really worth it. The compressed biscuits taste really good. This can of beef actually has beef in it. This time I can finally try some foreign food."

"That's right. After eating the Japanese's dry food, I will have enough energy to fight them later. It's very convenient."

After everyone had finished eating, Captain Wu looked at so much supplies and felt very reluctant to leave.

"Brothers, pick up the important things later, and blow up everything you can't take away. Don't leave it to the Japanese."

Hearing Captain Wu say this, Kong Hao hurriedly stopped him and said:

"Captain Wu, our people can drive trucks. We will take all these supplies away. I think the Sichuan Army will definitely need them."

"By the way, you are familiar with this place. It would be best if you could find a way to bypass the enemy's large forces and quietly transport the supplies back."

After hearing this, Captain Wu opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

He actually didn't want to abandon such precious supplies, but no one knew how to tinker with these military trucks, so he had no choice but to blow them up.

Now, when people hear that Kong Hao can drive, they will definitely agree to it, as this is the best thing.

Once the Sichuan Army obtains these weapons and equipment, they can hold their positions and sacrifice fewer outstanding soldiers. When their commander found out, he was so happy that he was beyond words.

At this time, Commander Long of the Sichuan Army was listening to the battle report from Chief of Staff He.

"Captain, in today's battle, we have lost more than a hundred men. Now our total number of men is only over 800."

"The most critical thing is that we are seriously running low on ammunition. Of the twelve light machine guns in the regiment, only seven are still able to fire. There are still two heavy machine guns. The total ammunition for the entire regiment is only about 20,000 rounds."

"If we don't have reinforcements, it will be difficult for us to hold on to this town tomorrow. Even if we have to abandon our positions and fight street battles, we won't be able to hold on without enough bullets."

"Although we confronted the Japanese today and launched a counterattack, seizing many rifles, we still have too little ammunition."

Faced with this problem, Captain Long was also extremely troubled. The military order they received from the Sichuan Army was to defend the town at all costs, even if it meant fighting to the last soldier left.

Since leaving Sichuan, the Sichuan Army has been looked down upon by the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but they have always held on to one belief, that is, the Sichuan people will not let their country down.

Besides, this battle was a rare fair moment for the Sichuan Army.

The friendly forces cooperating with them, such as the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Central Army, the Shaanxi Army, etc., were all fighting desperately with the Japanese. It was completely different from the previous state of "friendly forces are in trouble, but we remain as still as a mountain."

For example, the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army suffered thousands of casualties in just a few days of fighting against a field regiment of the Japanese devils.

Their regiment commander Chu Yunfei is also a tough guy. No matter how many casualties he suffers, he grits his teeth and holds his position.

Even if the position was occupied by the Japanese during the day, a suicide squad would be organized to take it back at night.

Fortunately, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had more submachine guns and Mauser pistols, which gave them a great advantage in night and close combat. In addition, the soldiers were willing to fight to the death to protect their hometown, which led to the relatively complete defense system of the entire line.

The same was true for the 664th Regiment of the Shaanxi Army. After suffering heavy casualties, they were barely able to resist the Japanese attack.

The most critical situation now is the Sichuan Army Corps, which has suffered more than half of its casualties and its defensive positions are also in jeopardy.

In order to replenish the lost troops of the Sichuan Army, Chu Yunfei also transferred the Hexian Security Corps and police forces to defend the flank of the 358th Regiment for more than seven days.

Even the servants and guards of the nearby landlords, as long as they had guns, came to Dawang Town on their own initiative and joined the fight against the Japanese.

Everyone knew that once the Japanese occupied Hexian County, their families would face enemy assassinations and machine gun attacks. Rather than living without dignity, they might as well pick up their guns and fight.

"Killing one will break even, killing two will make a profit" is the simplest way of calculation for the Chinese people. If three Chinese people can be exchanged for one Japanese soldier, most people would probably be willing to do so.
