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

The most critical part of this combat plan is whether the special forces led by Kong Hao can destroy the command system of the Japanese in You County at the agreed time and open the city gate to welcome the large troops into the city.

Of course, if the first plan fails, only the second plan can be implemented. The troops will also forcibly attack the city, but it will only attract the attention of the enemy's front-line troops, and then leave after the battle to preserve the existing results.

After listening to the independent regiment's entire combat plan, everyone nodded in agreement.

In the entire combat plan, except for Kong Hao's small force which was in danger, the others were not in much danger. At most, the 358th Regiment and the Independent Regiment would have made a wasted trip.

But if it really succeeds, the military achievement will be huge, even greater than annihilating an entire field regiment of the Japanese devils.

Although no one knows why Li Yunlong is so confident, this is a good thing and something that benefits everyone, so no one will object.

The next step was to select personnel. Because the 358th Regiment had suffered heavy losses some time ago, they only selected elite soldiers, equipped them with the best weapons, and brought sufficient ammunition, especially light machine guns, submachine guns, and Mauser pistols, which were powerful street fighting weapons, and they were over-equipped.

The Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army suffered greater casualties. Each regiment only selected one reinforced company, and the remaining people were gathered from the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei even led the team personally to ensure that everyone obeyed their orders.

Captain Long, Captain Qin and Political Commissar Zhao were responsible for a direction respectively, leading the infantry and artillery to take the initiative to attack and attract the attention of all enemies.

Chief of Staff Fang is stationed in Hexian County and is responsible for providing support to other troops.

Next, everyone received their respective tasks and went down to make various preparations.

At Li Yunlong's request, Chu Yunfei temporarily did not report the specific battle report of He County to the headquarters of the Second War Zone, but postponed the time. The main reason was that he was afraid that the intelligence would be stolen by spies lurking in, causing the combat plan to fail.

However, Li Yunlong still reported the situation here to the brigade commander, hoping to coordinate with nearby troops and let them be prepared.

Once we are able to capture Youxian County, we will quickly organize a transport team to empty the entire county of all supplies. If there is no other opportunity, we will have to choose to blow it up. We must not leave anything for the Japanese.

At this time, Brigade Commander Wang was studying an urgent telegram forwarded from the 386th Brigade with Political Commissar Su.

Brigade Commander Wang was seen reading the telegram while carefully analyzing the map. Finally, he looked up and said excitedly:

"I knew that Li Yunlong was full of clever ideas. When he was sent to Hexian, he really made the dead chess piece over there come alive."

"We have wiped out more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers in total, which has completely resolved the crisis at the headquarters of the Second War Zone, and also made all of us feel relieved."

"We are really worried during this period. If the Hexian defense line is breached by the Japanese, and our commander Yan chooses to run away with his men and things, the entire Shanxi Suiyuan Army will collapse. That would be a big problem."

"It would be fine if they stayed in Shanxi, but it would be a joke if they ran to another province."

This was also rare good news in recent times, which made the two leaders in a good mood. Political Commissar Su even joked:

"This Li Yunlong is really a lucky star. He seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition in Hexian County. His independent regiment can't even use them all, so he asked our 385th Brigade to send a transport team to transport them back."

"Wow, two 75mm mountain guns made in Jin and three Type infantry guns. These are the good stuff our brigade has been dreaming of, but they can only be returned to our brigade after this battle is over."

Seeing that the old friend was a little regretful, Brigade Commander Wang smiled and comforted him:

"As for the artillery, it doesn't matter if it's a little later because it's needed for the battle."

"But with 25 grenade launchers, 6 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 15 Type 92 light machine guns, more than 700 Type 38 rifles and 300,000 rounds of ammunition, our military district can now mobilize two main regiments."

The ammunition here was obtained by the Independent Regiment when it intercepted the Noda Regiment's supply chain. There were also thousands of artillery shells and more than two thousand grenades.

This kind of trophy was captured by the independent regiment alone, and Li Yunlong would not be foolish enough to divide it equally. If there is something good, he will definitely give priority to his own people.

In addition, the independent regiment carried sufficient ammunition for this operation, and most of it would be handed over except for replenishing the consumed ones. This is Li Yunlong's overall view. In this situation, he was still very generous.

Brigade Commander Wang was very happy to obtain so many weapons and ammunition at once. During this period, all units of the 385th Brigade were also involved in the battle, fighting every day, and the consumption of ammunition was also huge.

Although the Logistics Department has urgently supplied their troops with two batches of bullets, totaling nearly 200,000 rounds of ammunition, this would have been unthinkable in the past.

But when all the numbers are shared, it's actually not that much. In any battle, if you want to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, you have to consume more ammunition. This is an eternal truth.

In the past, each soldier had at most three bullets in each battle. After firing two shots, he had to find a way to charge and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

Now everyone has ten or even twenty bullets. When setting up an ambush, they can use rifles to shoot the Japanese as much as they want on the positions that have been prepared long ago. This way, the casualties on our side will be greatly reduced.

Another benefit of having more bullets is that the soldiers' marksmanship has generally improved significantly. Although it is still not as good as the Japanese veterans, it is completely different from before.

Now with so many bullets and ammunition, even two mountain cannons and three Type 385 infantry guns, the artillery battalion under the th Brigade can finally be seen.

Otherwise, an artillery battalion would only have two Type 92 infantry guns and eight mortars, which would be too embarrassing to tell others about it.

Brigade Commander Wang thought for a moment and said in a serious tone:

"Draw out a main force battalion from Division 1 and have them escort the transport team to Hexian and bring back all the equipment."

"Now the army is saying that Kong Hao is a money-spending kid. As long as you get involved with him, you can get a lot of weapons and ammunition. Now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved."

"This good thing has finally come to our 385th Brigade. We must seize it."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Su nodded in agreement, but then frowned and said:

"The transportation of materials is a small matter, but the second thing is incredible to me. This is something we have never encountered before."

"Let a small force sneak into the enemy's strong city, attack the enemy's command system, and take advantage of the chaos to open the city gates to support the large force outside the city to enter the city. At the lowest cost, occupy Youxian County and seize the supplies inside."

"This battle plan completely breaks my previous understanding. Every step is extremely dangerous. If anything goes wrong, the participating troops will suffer huge losses."

"Especially for the special forces that sneak into the city, they will easily be surrounded and suppressed by the large Japanese army. At that time, even if we want to help, we can't do anything and can only worry here."

"To be honest, this is the only special operations team of our Eighth Route Army. It is the ace among aces. If there is any damage, the impact will be huge."

"And Kong Hao is the chief consultant of the arsenal. He is as important to our army as a main brigade. I can't bear to let him fall into such a dangerous situation."
