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

Because Shen Quan and Kong Hao have a good relationship, the two often chat together and discuss various strategies and tactics.

Kong Hao combined the experience of positional warfare summarized by later generations, especially the experience and lessons learned by Rabbit and Eagle Sauce on the battlefield of Cao County, as well as the long-term confrontation with the Yue Monkey, and passed them all on to Shen Quan.

Shen Quan himself is an expert in defensive warfare. He has encountered the things that Kong Hao mentioned in previous battles, but he did not think about them so completely.

During this period, he designed a method for building defensive positions based on the actual situation of the independent regiment. Of course, it is still just a prototype and is in the experimental stage.

Once the results are good, the independent regiment will organize special personnel to summarize, analyze and generalize, and only report to the headquarters after forming a complete tactic.

The independent regiment now has five combat staff members who were specially sent down from above. They have formed a research team to specifically analyze and study the tactics proposed by Kong Hao.

The Eighth Route Army had very little contact with the outside world. They had finally come across a versatile man who was proficient in various foreign military tactics, so they would certainly not miss any opportunity to acquire advanced military knowledge.

Especially in the special operations which had just become popular abroad, the Eighth Route Army was almost in sync with Sandezi, and even the combat effectiveness was much better.

After forming the first special forces team, the profits obtained will be at least a hundred times more than the investment. Is there any more profitable deal than this?

The most important thing is that Kong Hao is outstanding in all aspects and is simply a treasure bestowed by God.

Basically, except when Kong Hao leads a team to perform special tasks, he is always followed by a group of people. In addition to asking various questions, they also raise various questions, hoping to get solutions from him.

For example, the arsenal would send the problems they encountered to the special forces every once in a while, hoping to hear Kong Hao's opinions.

The main reason was that no one had ever engaged in such large-scale industrial production, and many problems were encountered for the first time. We could only sum up experience during production and solve the problems through collective wisdom.

Faced with this obstacle, the Noda Regiment could only order the troops to rest for half an hour, and the artillery squadron to deploy all artillery to cover the infantry's charge, in an effort to resolve the battle as quickly as possible so that they could escape back into the city.

Shen Quan also discovered a large Japanese force. In order to confuse the enemy and not scare them away, he only deployed two infantry companies at the front line, and most of the troops were in reserve at the back.

The defensive fortifications were basically civil engineering works, and in terms of scale, they were just that of an ordinary infantry battalion. They were not an invincible opponent for the Noda Regiment.

What followed was a relatively conventional battle. Because of the urgent march, the Noda Regiment was extremely short of artillery shells, and each gun only fired three shells before stopping.

Next, the two squads launched a tentative attack in two directions towards the positions of the two companies of the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment. The grenade throwers in the back were on standby to destroy the exposed machine gun positions on the opposite side.

This is the most common tactic of the Japanese. It is simple but effective. Many Chinese troops suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the war.

But this time the Japanese encountered the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment, so they were just unlucky.

Thanks to Kong Hao, the chief consultant of the arsenal, and Li Yunlong's persistent manipulation, the independent regiment obtained about two hundred of the latest Ma Sihuan rifles and a large number of matching bullets.

Li Yunlong gave these new guns of relatively good quality to the elite veterans of the independent regiment, and spent a huge amount of money to improve their shooting skills.

Basically each of these veterans had fired 200 rounds of bullets, and their marksmanship was comparable to that of the well-trained veterans of the Japanese Type A Division.

Coupled with the ultra-long range of the Ma Sihuan rifle, the tactics of the independent regiment will also change accordingly.

When the Japanese approached within 400 meters, Shen Quan ordered the light and heavy machine gun positions to remain silent, and all soldiers equipped with Ma Sihuan rifles to fire freely, regardless of whether they hit the target or not, and they could carry out blocking shooting.

After hearing the gunshots, the Japanese soldiers in the two squads habitually lay down, then raised their Type 38 rifles to fight back, but the result was tragic. The Type 38 rifle had extremely limited lethality at this distance.

In the first confrontation, fifty rifles from our defensive force fired simultaneously, killing six Japanese soldiers. The Japanese attacking force had basically no results because they were lying down.

Now there are only two options for the Japanese. Either they shoot at each other here, but the effect is very poor, or they take a huge risk and shorten the distance to about two hundred meters to get a nominally fair shooting opportunity.

In the end, the Japanese team leader gritted his teeth and chose the second method, ordering his soldiers to quickly get up and continue moving forward with their backs bent.

However, as the distance got closer, our soldiers' shooting skills became more and more accurate, and the Japanese casualties became higher and higher. After all, hitting this kind of target is not difficult at all for a sharpshooter.

After Noda Kumaji saw this scene through the telescope, he immediately felt that their troops were in big trouble.

On the opposite side was an elite and well-trained force, who were calm and unhurried, and the rifles they used were much more powerful than the Type 38 rifles.

After all, being able to hit the target from 400 meters away is not something that ordinary soldiers can do. In the mind of Captain Noda, only a permanent division can train such top players on a large scale.

The Noda Corps is far behind, maybe they can find thirty to fifty people, but now most of them have been lost. However, the other side can easily come up with fifty sharpshooters of this level. How can they win this battle?

And the key point is that the Type 38 rifles they were equipped with seemed to have insufficient range when shooting at long distances.

Noda Kumaji is an expert in weapons, and he especially likes to collect various kinds of weapons. After hearing the gunshots just now, he has confirmed that the opponent should be using a Ma Sihuan rifle.

He knew very well the performance of this rifle. When he was in the Northeast, Zhang Xiaoliu's Northeast Army was equipped with a lot of this type of rifles, which could make the Type 38 rifle have no temper at all.

Seeing that this test was useless, Colonel Noda could only order the artillery to fire another round of bombardment to cover the retreat of his infantry.

Since there was a powerful enemy blocking the way ahead, the only option was to break through on both wings. However, after some attempts, they were finally blocked by the minefields of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Corps.

Moreover, if they march from the two wings, all heavy equipment will have to be abandoned, and the soldiers can only march with rifles and light machine guns. This is not something Noda Kumaji is willing to accept.

Just when they were in a dilemma, time passed by minute by minute, and the large force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army behind them also rushed over, blocking the Japanese's last retreat route.
