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

"Captain Zhang, our special forces team has brought thirteen military trucks this time. Send someone to drive them over to Captain Li later. This will also speed up the troops' march."

Thanks to the two military trucks that Kong Hao seized last time, the independent regiment was able to train a number of soldiers who can drive cars.

Although everyone's driving skills are not very good, no one cares in this era. As long as you can drive it, it's fine. At worst, you can just drive slower.

Kong Hao also specially exchanged for ten barrels of gasoline, which was not expensive and only cost five merit points, which could allow the independent regiment to use it for a period of time.

Zhang Dabiao was very happy when he heard that there were so many military trucks at once. Now their heavy equipment would be easier to transport and the marching speed would be greatly increased.

Next, Kong Hao led a battalion of troops and quietly lurked a few kilometers away from the Jingkou Brigade, while he took Zhang Dabiao and took a detour to Dawang Town.

In the afternoon, the Japanese devils really sent out planes in a frenzy. Three enemy bombers launched a fierce bombing on the positions of the Sichuan Army.

However, Captain Long had already made preparations and built various anti-artillery holes that could effectively resist attacks from various bombs.

Besides, the Japanese have always been extremely stingy and are reluctant to use heavy aerial bombs. The power of some small bombs is just so-so and can only destroy some surface fortifications at most.

As soon as the Japanese planes left, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army immediately ran out of the anti-artillery caves and beat the Japanese who approached them with their rifles and grenades.

Seeing that their attack was repelled again, Jingkou became a little discouraged.

The defense line before them, formed by a Sichuan Army Corps, seemed like a chasm that they could never cross. No matter what methods they tried, they could not achieve their goal.

At this time, a seed of self-doubt had already grown in Jingkou's heart. In this situation, were they becoming weaker, or was the Chinese army becoming stronger?

Once upon a time, a squadron of their troops could easily defeat a regiment of the Chinese local forces, and a battalion could chase after a brigade of the Chinese Central Army.

The combat effectiveness of one of their soldiers is equal to that of six Chinese soldiers. This is the calculation method they use most often.

Take their Jingkou Battalion for example. They once chased a main division of the Central Army led by Tang Enbo for 20 kilometers in central China and occupied two county towns, for which they were commended by the headquarters.

But now, a large battalion attacked a mere Sichuan Army Corps and suffered more than half of its troops were killed or wounded. This was simply a great shame and humiliation.

Just now, Captain Iguchi finally lowered his proud head and sent a telegram to his superiors, requesting tactical guidance.

There was a response that a force of 500 people would arrive near Dawang Town tomorrow, including a squadron of Japanese troops and a battalion of the Imperial Army.

In fact, the Japanese are very good at covering their ears and stealing the bell. If they ask for reinforcements, they should just say they are asking for reinforcements, but they insist on saying they are asking for tactical guidance.

This is just like taking off your pants and putting that thing on it, it's unnecessary.

Apart from sending reinforcements, what other guidance can their superiors give them?

Of course, there is also a retreat that is not called a retreat, but a battlefield transfer.

After hearing this, Captain Jingkou was overjoyed. With the addition of this new force, it would be just a matter of time before they could capture the current position.

So he ordered his men to stop the attack, and after arranging the guard posts, he let the others take turns to rest.

Through what happened last night, Captain Jingguchi understood clearly that although the Sichuan Army had hijacked their transport convoy, their military strength had reached its limit and they could only barely defend and had no ability to launch an attack.

We can let the troops take turns to sleep tonight, and when the reinforcements arrive tomorrow, the outcome will be decided in one battle.

As expected, at night, Captain Wu harassed the Japanese according to the same routine as last night, but the effect was very poor.

After the grenade exploded, the Japanese simply fired flares, and after confirming that the Sichuan Army did not attack, they ignored it.

Seeing this situation, Captain Long had no choice but to order his men to retreat. After all, bullets and grenades were very precious, and since they were of no use, they should not be wasted.

Kong Hao brought Zhang Dabiao to the Sichuan Army Corps headquarters. When Commander Long learned that the independent regiment had only reached one battalion, he was a little disappointed at first.

However, when he learned that the first battalion of the independent regiment had more than a thousand people and was fully equipped with Japanese equipment, he was overjoyed.

The Japanese soldiers of the Jingkou Battalion were already exhausted after this period of fighting, and now that our main force had arrived as reinforcement, there was no problem in eliminating the remaining Japanese soldiers.

The key is when to launch the general offensive to minimize our casualties.

Of course, it is not cost-effective to launch an attack at night now. In the past, we liked to launch night attacks because our weapons were inferior to those of others, and close combat at night could give us a lot of advantages.

Now that I have the advantage in military strength, I can't do such stupid things that are thankless.

After discussion, the Sichuan Army and the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment agreed to launch a general attack on the remaining Japanese troops at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.

It was already daybreak at that time, and the Japanese were just getting ready to eat, so their defense was relatively lax.

Our troops could have eaten an hour in advance, and when the Japanese were preparing to eat, we could catch them off guard and take them away in one go.

After the discussion was completed, Captain Long and Zhang Dabiao went back to prepare, and adjusted the time on their watches to launch the general attack at the same time tomorrow morning.

To be honest, tonight is the quietest night in the past few days of fighting between the enemy and us. There is no gunfire or grenade explosions, only the occasional flare fired by the Japanese.

Jingkou also had a rare good sleep and even snored.

At six o'clock the next morning, all the members of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment and the Sichuan Army were awakened.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese, everyone ate compressed biscuits this morning, and the rice porridge was cooked two kilometers away and then delivered.

In order to make the soldiers more energetic when fighting, sugar was added to the porridge so that the soldiers could have a good meal.

At half past six, the Japanese soldiers got up one after another, preparing to have breakfast together at seven o'clock, and then waited for the arrival of reinforcements to give the Sichuan Army a fatal blow.

However, it has been proven in later generations that when a person goes from extreme movement to extreme stillness, the body will become more tired.

The Japanese had been tormented for the past few days, and suddenly they had a good sleep. Many of them didn't want to get up. Even if they were woken up by force, they were still sleepy and couldn't muster any energy.

The reason why Kong Hao chose to launch a general attack at this time was to take advantage of this phenomenon.

By almost seven o'clock, the mortars of the Sichuan Army Corps and the First Battalion were ready.

The Sichuan Army was responsible for shelling the Japanese infantry who were queuing for food, while the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment was responsible for the Japanese artillery positions and the battalion headquarters.

Each gun was equipped with fifty shells, which had to be fired as quickly as possible. After the bombardment was over, everyone immediately launched a charge to encircle and annihilate the remaining Japanese devils.
