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

You County is now definitely a dead end. Once Yoshio Shinozuka knows that You County has been captured, he will definitely mobilize all his forces to counterattack and retake You County at all costs.

The reason why the 358th Regiment was able to occupy You County was definitely because they used a surprise attack. It is estimated that the sneak attack troops would not carry heavy weapons. If they wanted to hold on for five days, it would be extremely difficult. Chu Yunfei and the 358th Regiment might be killed.

Commander Yan's greatest strength is that he listens to advice and never acts arbitrarily. When he heard the chief of staff say this, he immediately became alert.

Now Chu Yunfei and his 358th Regiment are the banner of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. If they were wiped out just after winning a battle, it would not be a good thing for him and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

So he changed his words and said, "Send a telegram to Chu Yunfei and tell him to act according to circumstances. If things are impossible, evacuate immediately."

"But I must emphasize that before leaving, all supplies in You County must be blown up. Not a single bullet or grain of food should be left for the enemy."

When everyone heard this order, they thought it was the best solution at the moment. Then there was a burst of flattery, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room became much more relaxed.

The current situation has completely turned to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's side. As long as the enemy's main material supply base is destroyed, the Japanese army will have to retreat even if they don't want to. Otherwise, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will not mind launching a large-scale annihilation war to create a myth on the battlefield.

After all, if the Japanese didn't have many bullets in their guns and their artillery lacked shells, they would not be able to defeat the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Compared with the cheerful atmosphere of the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the atmosphere in the Japanese First Army Headquarters far away in Taiyuan is heavy and depressing.

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka was pacing back and forth in the office. The attack of the troops in the front was not going well, and the troops sent out did not achieve the expected results before the war. Instead, they lost a lot of troops and combat supplies.

It was for this reason that the headquarters sent a telegram specifically asking when they could achieve their intended tactical objectives, and that they could not continue fighting for any longer as the supply consumption was too great.

This battle was originally launched by Yoshio Shinozuka for his own face and to divert other people's attention from the fact that the First Army had recently lost a large amount of supplies in its jurisdiction.

Especially in such a large-scale battle, the military supplies consumed every day are huge. As long as the people of the Fourth Division are allowed to manage the logistics of this battle and the large army is allowed to fight for ten days or half a month, the supplies lost at the train station will be returned, and on the contrary, a profit can be made.

The 4th Division is the most professional when it comes to doing this kind of thing, especially in recent times. In order to protect the safety of Taiyuan City, the 4th Division sends a regiment out of the city every day to conduct live-fire exercises, going out in the morning and returning on time in the evening.

Everything else was fine, except that the ammunition and other military supplies were consumed quite a lot. For example, an ordinary soldier consumed sixty rounds of bullets, two grenades, eight cans of beef and four packs of compressed biscuits.

Many people also suffered minor injuries during the exercise, and a large amount of medical supplies were consumed, especially the most precious sulfa tablets. Basically, all the supplies brought out were used up and urgently needed to be replenished.

The artillery squadron also used live ammunition to train the artillery techniques well, and basically fired all the shells they carried. Of course, the results were also brilliant, and the artillery's shooting capability was significantly improved.

In the past, everyone was still cautious and did not dare to consume as recklessly as they do now. After all, there were logistics personnel in charge, and applications for excessive material consumption would definitely not be approved.

But now the logistics management of the First Army has been taken over by the Fourth Division, and they are all our own people, so they will definitely report as much as they can.

The jurisdiction of the Japanese First Army is very large, and there are countless benefits here.

Yoshio Shinozuka also wanted to make up for the previous deficit, so he turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. After all, the supplies were not his personal property, and he just needed to submit a report to the headquarters to ask for more supplies.

At this time, he was discussing some things with the commander of the 4th Division, Matsui, mainly about the recent consumption of supplies.

"Mr. Matsui, the 4th Division has been out of the city quite frequently recently, and the supplies consumed are quite high. If every time it is an exercise, it is a bit unreasonable. Commander Okamura has called to inquire."

"This kind of thing needs to be done slowly and steadily. There is an old Chinese saying: haste makes no man fat."

Division Commander Matsui was well aware of the situation. His subordinates had indeed gone a bit too far, but there was nothing they could do about it.

There were too many restrictions before, and we basically had to sneak around and find ways to get some supplies to exchange for money. Now that we are in charge, we will definitely make a fortune.

Moreover, this kind of thing must be treated equally and everyone must have a share, otherwise it will easily cause internal conflicts.

However, he also knew that this kind of thing should be done in moderation. If it is overdone, it will easily be noticed by others and the result will be counterproductive.

So he quickly smiled and said, "Sir Shinozuka, I will pass on this matter and will not let the people below do anything reckless."

"By the way, the reconstruction of the train station has been completed. Please send someone to check the specific bill later."

"Also, the equipment of the previous brigade has been basically replenished. No matter who comes to check the accounts, it will not come out. Please rest assured that we are the most professional in this regard."

"Even if they send someone to investigate, they will most likely be our own people, so there will definitely not be any problems."

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard these words, he immediately felt mixed emotions.

He is an orthodox soldier who thinks highly of himself. He hates associating with these mercenary businessmen who are obsessed with money. But now he has no choice but to go along with them. It's really fate that plays tricks on him.

"Matsui-kun, you can handle this matter."

It's a bit embarrassing to tell this kind of thing to others, and it can't be known to outsiders. Everything is done in secret.

Yoshio Shinozuka also specially assigned his nephew to be in charge of this matter. At such a critical moment, it is reliable to use talents from one's own family. After all, everyone prospers and suffers together.

At this time, Yamamoto Ikki pushed the door and walked in, his face full of anxiety. However, when he saw the presence of Division Commander Matsui, he was a little hesitant whether to speak, and could only keep winking at Shinozuka Yoshio.

Upon seeing this, Division Commander Matsui's face suddenly darkened, and he cursed inwardly:

"A mere colonel dares to look down upon a lieutenant general like me. This is outrageous. I will give orders to make life difficult for Yamamoto Ikki and his special forces team."
