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

Political Commissar Guo nodded first, then, fearing that this was too straightforward, he shook his head.

Kong Jie was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. If one was not an insider, no one would believe this kind of thing. But this was the fact, an ironclad fact.

"Political Commissar, what I said is actually true. I'm sure you know that I was the deputy commander of the independent regiment before, and I know its combat capability best."

"The combat effectiveness of the independent regiment is very terrifying, especially Zhang Dabiao's First Battalion and Shen Quan's Second Battalion. With the same number of people, they have been able to fight the Japanese field troops to a draw."

"You have seen the strength of the new Second Regiment in the past few days. It is just the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment plus the newly formed Sixth Battalion. Compared with the First and Second Battalions of the Independent Regiment, they are not on the same level at all."

"The current independent regiment has at least 5,000 people, and this is the result of drawing out a part of the troops to form our new second regiment. If it were before, the combat effectiveness would be even more exaggerated."

Next, he gave a brief account of the Independent Regiment's combat performance in recent months, which again caused Political Commissar Guo to exclaim in amazement that their Eighth Route Army actually had such a powerful force.

In the first battle, they wiped out a reinforced battalion of the Japanese devils. In the second battle, they cooperated with friendly forces to eliminate 5,000 enemies. Then they quietly captured the county town that was heavily guarded by the enemy and seized a large amount of supplies.

Political Commissar Guo's worldview was almost collapsing at this moment. This was something that a regimental-level combat unit could do, and he hadn't heard any news about it before.

"Political Commissar, if Kong Hao and his special forces cooperate in the battle, the independent regiment will be at its peak. However, it seems that this kind of thing will hardly happen again in the future."

"What I just said is military secret. You are the political commissar of the New Second Regiment and you have the authority to know. But don't tell anyone once you leave this room."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Guo quickly nodded and agreed. He knew the military discipline. If he was not the political commissar of the New Second Regiment, he would probably never know such a secret in his life.

"Okay, Political Commissar, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take a break. I still have to deliver people and supplies to the Independent Regiment tomorrow."

"I owe Li Yunlong such a big favor, I have to pay it back a little to feel at ease."

"By the way, I also brought back two treasures today. Xiao Kong is a really kind person. He supported our New Second Regiment with two technicians and some molds for making honeycomb coal."

"I'm going to take out the assets of the New Second Group. When we split up, Lao Li gave us 5,000 yuan. Go and talk to the two technicians later to see what kind of site and facilities are needed to make honeycomb coal. We need to get it done as soon as possible."

"Go buy some more broken coal and build the coal yard as soon as possible. This kind of honeycomb coal is a treasure. No matter how much we produce, there will always be people who want it. It will allow our New Second Regiment to obtain a steady supply of materials for the development of the troops."

Kong Jie is such a kind person. He hates to owe favors to others, but he had to owe favors to others last time.

Kong Hao also knew about this situation, and he found excuses to help him pay back a little. Although it was not as good as those two battalions, it at least made the old leader feel more at ease.

After hearing this, Political Commissar Guo happily agreed immediately, as this was his job as a political commissar.

Because our troops do not have sufficient supplies, superiors rarely send supplies to front-line combat troops. At the regiment level, the authority is still very large.

In Li Yunlong's words: "If you have the ability, you can drink and eat meat. If you don't have the ability, you won't be jealous after seeing it."

Opening up some factories and workshops can actually solve the logistics supply problems of the troops. Many things will no longer have to be allocated by superiors, which is also a good thing.

In the past, troops were often mobilized to fight, and it was very troublesome to open some workshops, especially in areas of confrontation with the Japanese. Honeycomb coal is something that can be produced at any time, and when retreating, one can just take the tools and follow the main force. It is the most convenient thing and is also vigorously promoted by Minister Zhang.

After all, some troops are too far away from the headquarters, and the transportation of supplies is too costly. If they can make money by selling honeycomb coal, they can purchase it nearby, which is very cost-effective.

Li Yunlong was also busy training his troops, preparing to show his prowess in the next battle.

The independent regiment transferred two battalions to Kong Jie to form a new second regiment, which was considered a blow to the vitality. Li Yunlong took out all his family assets to recruit a large number of soldiers and restored the number of troops to the original number.

As for weapons and equipment, Li Yunlong actually had no shortage of them. After all, the independent regiment had been winning battles during this period, and the weapons and equipment captured were countless.

Although most of the weapons and ammunition were handed over to their superiors, a small portion was retained, which was more than enough to arm two thousand people.

In fact, the reason why Li Yunlong was so generous and transferred two battalions to Kong Jie was largely because the current independent regiment had reached a bottleneck, and if more people were added, the command would not be so smooth.

The current situation is the best. Not only does it give the military region an additional main force regiment, but it will also cooperate in future operations. Given Kong Jie's character, he will definitely obey his orders. This is simply the most cost-effective deal.

In the past, if Li Yunlong disobeyed orders alone, the leaders would definitely focus on dealing with him. But if the three brothers acted together, as long as they won, the brigade commander would definitely not be angry.

At this time, Li Yunlong was discussing matters with Platoon Leader Bao of the Special Operations Platoon directly under the Independent Regiment in the regiment's conference room.

"Xiao Bao, this is based on some experience in special operations from these battles. I dictated it and the political commissar wrote it down. I hope it will be helpful to the special operations platoon of the regiment."

"And this is the book On Special Operations that Kong Hao left for the Independent Regiment before he went to the Arsenal. There are only two complete copies in our entire Eighth Route Army, one at the headquarters and one in our Independent Regiment."

"But you can only see this thing in the regiment headquarters. You are not allowed to take it out."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were also very worried about this special platoon.

The entire special operations platoon has only thirty people. In addition to the twelve people brought from the military region, eighteen people were selected from more than five thousand people in the regiment. A total of thirty people formed a direct special operations platoon.

After all, most of them were eliminated from the special training team, and they definitely don’t have the strength of the regular special operations team. They can only rely on numbers if they don’t have the ability.

A special operations team is composed of twelve people, but he only got thirty people. It is not required to reach the strength of a regular special operations team. Even if it is 50% or even 30% of the strength, it is not much. For ordinary Japanese devils, it is also a crushing level.

In terms of weapons, due to the limited supply of German-made MP38 submachine guns, the special operations platoon used submachine guns made in Shanxi. In fact, the special operations team formed later also used submachine guns made in Shanxi.

There are also Mauser C-27 rifles and side-loading Mauser pistols. Basically, their weapons are similar to those of regular special forces.
