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

By the time everyone arrived at the headquarters of the 358th Regiment, it was already late. Chu Yunfei sent people to settle the troops of the independent regiment and specially hosted a banquet for Li Yunlong.

Even though they were now in a state of war with the enemy, thanks to the abundant logistical support from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Chu Yunfei also specially prepared a sumptuous banquet, but there was no drinking.

Li Yunlong had also traveled for such a long time, so he didn't hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and started eating.

After eating and drinking and taking a short rest, Chu Yunfei decided to convene a combat meeting for officers at the battalion level and above of the 358th Regiment.

Kong Hao was also invited to participate. Although he had only more than 50 subordinates, because of his extremely strong combat record and the deliberate publicity by the special forces company, the entire 358th Regiment was shocked when they learned about it, and they tacitly agreed that this was a unit that could not be organized based on the number of people.

When Kong Hao finished his meal and was notified to attend a combat meeting at the regiment headquarters, he was caught by Xu Hui who happened to arrive:

"Captain Kong, I didn't expect it was really you. I knew it, in the independent regiment, only the troops you lead have such strong combat effectiveness."

"Who are you……."

At first, Kong Hao didn't recognize this middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Jinsui Army and with the rank of major on his shoulders.

"Captain Kong, I'm Xu Hui. I was captured by the Japanese at the Nanji stronghold. It was you who led the people to rescue me and other brothers."

Hearing the person in front of him say this, Kong Hao remembered that the person in front of him was the one who insisted on returning to his old unit. He was a person who did not forget his roots and made a very deep impression on people.

Then he suddenly realized and said, "It's Captain Xu. What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here."

Since they are acquaintances, it will be easy. Next, Captain Xu introduced Kong Hao’s great achievements to the other battalion commanders.

Especially when he was at the Nanji stronghold, Kong Hao led a small force of fifty people and wiped out an entire Japanese garrison squadron without losing a single person, and also rescued thousands of prisoners of war, which immediately caused the other battalion commanders to exclaim in surprise.

Even the battalion commander Qian Bojun, who was always serious, glanced sideways and looked at Kong Hao carefully.

In fact, with the combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment, every battalion commander present, except for the artillery battalion, has the ability to defeat a squadron of Japanese devils in a field battle. As for annihilation, if the terrain is suitable, it can be done as long as certain casualties are paid.

However, to kill a squadron of 180 Japanese soldiers without losing a single person on their side was probably a fantasy, and it was a record they could not even imagine.

In the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, if a unit could achieve a 1:1 casualty ratio with the Japanese garrison, it would be considered an elite unit.

As for being able to achieve a 2:1 score, that is the ace among aces, and a treasure in the eyes of all superiors. All the good things in the army will be tilted towards it, and logistical supplies will be given to it.

If it is 180:0, it is probably a myth, and even legends would not be spread like this.

In addition, we just heard from the special forces company that more than 13 people from the special forces company fought a skirmish with four members of Yamamoto's special forces, and the casualty ratio was 2:. Everyone has a preliminary understanding of the enemy's true strength.

The troops of the independent regiment killed twenty members of the Yamamoto Special Forces at 2:20, at the cost of two minor injuries. This brilliant record blinded everyone's eyes.

The army respects the strong the most. Kong Hao is now fully capable of standing on equal footing with their battalion commander, even Qian Bojun, the battalion commander of the first battalion who claims to have nearly 2,000 troops, is no exception.

Captain Xu took the opportunity to introduce several other battalion commanders, and everyone got along very happily for a while.

However, Kong Hao deliberately looked at Qian Bojun, the guy who would shout to kill Chu Yunfei in the future. After saying this, it was destined to be a tragedy. Qian Bojun was still relatively loyal at this time, and Kong Hao couldn't tell Chu Yunfei that his capable subordinate would surrender to the enemy and become a traitor in the future.

Moreover, now is not the most critical time of the war of resistance. It will take another two years until the Japanese forces reach their peak. Many Chinese people will see no hope of winning and will choose to "save the country in a roundabout way."

After the greetings, everyone went into the regiment meeting room for the meeting.

First, Chief of Staff Fang told everyone a good news. The Japanese spy captured by the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment confessed and revealed the spy network lurking in Hexian County.

Just now, the intelligence personnel and guard company of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army went out together and captured more than a dozen hidden Japanese spies, and even caught several officers in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's logistics department who were recruited by the enemy.

Everyone present was very excited to hear this good news, as it completely solved their worries.

Captain Xu said happily: "This is great. We have finally caught these scums of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. When our Second Battalion went to the logistics department to collect supplies, we always encountered various difficulties."

"I originally thought they wanted some benefits, but I didn't expect this was a trick of the devils. No wonder I felt things weren't going smoothly during this period. I didn't expect someone was deliberately holding us back."

Chu Yunfei did not expect that there were Japanese devils in his troops, which made him feel very embarrassed, especially since there were friendly troops in the conference room.

The Japanese were also cunning. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had strict control over the combat troops but was relatively lax with the logistics personnel, many of whom were people with connections. Unexpectedly, this gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

But he is also a person who can let go of things. It is better to be embarrassed than to lose a battle and lose his life.

Fortunately, these things are over, and now they just need to concentrate on fighting.

So he signaled with his eyes, and Chief of Staff Fang continued to introduce the current situation on the battlefield.

Chief of Staff Fang understood and then explained in detail on the battle map the troop deployment of each battalion of the 358th Regiment, as well as the troop deployment of the opponent's Noda Regiment.

In short, the 358th Regiment is currently in a full defensive state, while the Noda Regiment is in a full offensive state, and the two sides are fighting on equal terms.

Of course, these were what Chief of Staff Fang said himself. Li Yunlong could see at a glance that the 358th Regiment had been completely suppressed and was at an absolute disadvantage.

Without reinforcements, they would be defeated within a week.

After Chief of Staff Fang finished his introduction, Chu Yunfei smiled and added:

"Today, thanks to the friendly independent regiment, we have discovered the conspiracy of Yamamoto's special forces and helped us solve this serious problem in advance."

"If this special forces team with amazing combat effectiveness, with the cooperation of the Japanese spies in the city, raids our regiment headquarters and severely damages our command structure, and the Noda Regiment outside the city also takes the opportunity to launch an attack, our 358th Regiment will be in danger."

"Here, let us applaud and thank our friendly forces for their help."

After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to applaud, and then the whole conference room burst into applause.

Li Yunlong was flattered and quickly made a few polite remarks.

Then, Chu Yunfei specifically asked:

"Captain Li, do you have any advice for the future battle?"
