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

After listening to this, Brigade Commander Wang also sighed deeply and said a little depressedly:

"In fact, I am reluctant to do so, and I am afraid that even the head of the headquarters feels the same way."

"When it comes to good warriors, our army has a lot of them. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are shining like stars in the sky. But when it comes to good economics people, they are rare."

"And Kong Hao is also proficient in the most advanced large-scale industrial production technology abroad, which is particularly important for our base."

"But special operations tactics are the most suitable for our Eighth Route Army, which is short of guns and ammunition. They require little investment and bring big profits."

"According to the documents sent by our superiors, within two months, our brigade will also be assigned a special operations team. Although its strength cannot catch up with the special operations team led by Kong Hao, it is definitely stronger than the general reconnaissance company."

"With such an ace in hand, we can let them go and move freely, attack the Japanese everywhere and seize various supplies to feed the troops."

"There are also many soldiers selected from our brigade. Although they do not meet the requirements of the special operations team, they have also undergone a period of special operations training. When they return, they will be very good choices to lead the brigade reconnaissance battalion."

"I want to train the reconnaissance battalion in the same way as the special forces. I will support it even if I have to sell everything I have. Even if it can't reach the level of the special forces, 30% of it is already a great achievement."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Su nodded in agreement.

"As the saying goes: You can't have your cake and eat it too. The leaders want both, which is a bit greedy."

"But you don't have to worry too much, Old Wang. Kong Hao knows his limits and is not a reckless person. If he is not sure, he will not go deep into the enemy camp, let alone put the team in a dead end."

"What we can do now is to follow the plan in the telegram and disguise the transport team as a merchant caravan and lurk near You County in batches."

"Once Li Yunlong succeeds, we must immediately transport the supplies inside. That is the most important front-line supply transfer center for the Japanese. There will definitely be mountains of good stuff inside. We will have everything we need."

"But this old fellow Shinozuka Yoshio won't give us too much time. Once they recover, he will definitely send troops to take them back. Then we will have no choice but to blow up all the supplies."

"For now, we can only rush to transport the most important machinery and equipment and ammunition. Thinking about that scene now, I feel it's a pity. There are too many good things. No matter which one is discarded, it will be painful."

Brigade Commander Wang agreed with this plan and ordered a large number of local troops to provide support along the way to ensure the safety of all supplies.

Now the main force of the entire 385th Brigade is either fighting with the Japanese field troops or confronting the Japanese guard troops. They cannot be withdrawn at all and can only rely on local troops.

Of course, this also ties up a large number of enemy forces, and we will be in a state where we will not move unless the enemy moves, and if the enemy moves, we will move with him.

Similarly, the Central Army, Shaanxi Army, Sichuan Army and Yunnan Army under the Second War Zone were in the same state, fighting desperately with the Japanese.

The National Government even urgently transferred two main armies from other war zones to join the Second War Zone, in order to withstand the attack of the Japanese First Army.

The idea of sharing the same hatred for the enemy and the mutual dependence of all beings was vividly demonstrated at this moment.

In the face of a major crisis, all parties put aside their previous differences and prejudices, fought together against the enemy, and staged a series of touching and epic deeds.

In fact, everyone knew that if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the main force of the Second War Zone, was defeated, it would affect the war situation across the country, and other war zones might also be implicated, and then China would be in danger.

Fortunately, He County achieved a great victory and the most dangerous moment has passed. However, it is still uncertain who will win next.

The reason why Kong Hao launched the Youxian Campaign this time, in addition to coordinating the entire battlefield and cutting off the supply lines of the First Army's offensive forces, the most important thing was to get the weapons production line.

You County is a big city, and it has some weapons production lines, which is completely reasonable. Besides, who would care about these things in such a chaotic world?

In fact, the Eighth Route Army Arsenal now has two bullet production lines, a rifle production line and a Mauser pistol production line. Next, Kong Hao plans to exchange for a grenade launcher production line and a mortar production line.

With the arsenal's current industrial strength and talent pool, it is fully possible to effectively utilize these two production lines to produce qualified grenade launchers and mortars.

As for why they did not exchange for the Type 92 infantry gun or mountain gun, it was mainly because the cost-effectiveness was not high.

The Type 92 infantry gun was certainly a powerful weapon for taking out the Japanese artillery towers, but its technical content was too high, especially the special gun barrel steel, which was simply beyond the ability of the arsenal to produce.

Grenade launchers or mortars are the heavy weapons that the Eighth Route Army urgently needs, especially those suitable for all combat units.

Take the Type 92 infantry gun for example. At least the main force regiment has the ability to operate it. Units below the regiment level, especially local units, can forget about it.

But the grenade launcher is different. Even if a guerrilla team of 20 people can be allocated one, the lethality against the Japanese will increase sharply.

However, this is very unrealistic. Now even the main force will have an unlimited demand for grenade launchers.

One Japanese squad had three combat teams, each of which had a Type 99 light machine gun and a grenade launcher team, a total of twelve people, divided into three grenade launcher teams of four people, with a total of three grenade launchers.

In our Eighth Route Army, only one grenade launcher was allocated to a company or even a battalion, and the matching special ammunition was very scarce. We had no ability to train a large number of excellent grenade launcher soldiers.

The grenade launcher requires a lot of experience. It can be described this way: an excellent veteran grenade launcher is extremely scary, while a novice is useless except wasting ammunition.

The resources used to produce one Type 92 infantry gun can produce about one hundred grenade launchers. If the front-line troops were given a choice, most would probably choose the latter.

As for mortars, especially the 60 mortars, they are specially prepared for the Japanese grenade launchers. Even if the Chinese army can produce grenade launchers, it will not be able to reach the level of the Japanese veterans in a short period of time.

As long as the Eighth Route Army's company and platoon troops can be equipped with a large number of mortars, even a new mortar operator can rely on the advantage of range to defeat the Japanese veteran grenade launchers.

But this is a matter for the future. For now, it is just a preliminary plan and it will take a long time to materialize.

On Kong Hao's side, before the Noda Corps was wiped out, he led his team and sneaked into Youxian County.

Still following the old rules, Kong Hao stored all the weapons and equipment of the special forces team members into his personal space, and everyone disguised themselves in various identities and sneaked into the county town.
