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

As long as we can get enough rails and add the good steel produced by our own steel mills, we can easily increase the production of steam engines to twenty per month.

By that time, most of our bases will be able to open many large and small industrial zones to produce various military supplies. It will no longer be a dream for every soldier to get one such basic industrial product as helmets.

For example, weapons such as rifles and Mauser pistols can be mass-produced, and there is no need to sacrifice several outstanding soldiers to capture a Type 38 rifle.

This is a big game, and we won’t see results in a short period of time. But as long as we can persist, one day, China’s military industry will shock the whole world.

When Li Yunlong heard Shen Quan say this, he nodded with satisfaction and also specifically instructed:

"Our enemy this time is the Takahashi Regiment, which is the reorganized Sakata Regiment on Cangyun Ridge. The New 1st Regiment was too weak at the beginning. The entire independent regiment only had one mortar and two shells. Thanks to the brothers who were not afraid of death, they relied on hand-to-hand combat to win the artillery a chance."

"But even if we kill the Sakata Regiment Headquarters, we can only barely defeat the enemy. But this time is different. If the Takahashi Regiment dares to come this time, don't even think about a single Japanese soldier escaping our encirclement alive."

After Shen Quan heard this, he immediately said loudly:

"Captain, don't worry. The New 1st Regiment can fight tough battles. Our independent regiment is even stronger. We will fight against the elite of the Japanese devils. As long as the enemy dares to come, we will dare to bury them."

Compared with the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment's alert readiness, the marching situation of the Takahashi Regiment was not so relaxed.

As mentioned before, Li Yunlong also formed a reconnaissance platoon of about fifty people based on the standards of the special operations team.

They were equipped with a 60mm mortar, four Czech light machine guns, four grenade launchers, ten submachine guns, eight Spanish Mauser pistols, and the rest were equipped with the best Mauser rifles.

The best performance of the independent regiment's reconnaissance company was in the wild, where they killed a squad of Japanese soldiers at the cost of two minor injuries.

Although it is not as brilliant as the Xingtian Special Operations Team led by Kong Hao, and even cannot catch up with those formally established special operations teams, it is completely overwhelming compared to ordinary troops. The soldiers of the independent regiment jokingly say: "I am invincible below the special operations team, and I can exchange three for one for those above the special operations team."

Now this special operations platoon is entirely composed of bicycles. In addition to all members riding bicycles, there is also a squad of ordinary soldiers who ride tricycles to deliver equipment and ammunition to them, and the logistical support is also very sufficient.

Platoon Leader Wang is also a veteran of the independent regiment. He was originally a company commander. When he participated in the special training of the special forces, he was eliminated in the last few rounds. This is the biggest regret of his life.

When Li Yunlong was forming a special operations platoon, he specifically gave him two choices: either go to the second company of the first battalion to continue serving as the company commander, or come to the special operations platoon to serve as the platoon leader.

Without a second thought, Platoon Leader Wang chose to be the platoon leader of the special operations platoon. After all, he had climbed mountains before. Although he had not reached the top, he had witnessed the steepness of the mountains and the scenery up there. He could not tolerate returning to the ordinary troops and enjoying the mediocrity.

It's not just him. Many eliminated special training team members, after returning to their old units, are only thinking about special operations and find it difficult to adapt to the rhythm of ordinary troops.

But this is also a good thing. Many regimental combat units of the Eighth Route Army have established corresponding small forces to carry out special operations.

Those with better conditions will set up a special special operations platoon, while those with average conditions can only form a special operations squad, which is responsible for intelligence reconnaissance and security work.

Of course, there are also some more extreme ones who will withdraw all the newly formed special operations forces, and launch sneak attacks on nearby enemy small-scale forces or transport convoys in the wild to obtain large amounts of material supplies.

The advantage of raising them in the wild is that you don’t have to worry too much, and there are often little surprises.

For example, the special operations platoon formed by the 771st Regiment successfully ambushed an enemy logistics transport convoy during a field battle, and seized five mortars, thirty grenade launchers, and a large number of weapons and equipment, earning back all the resources previously invested in one fell swoop, and Commander Xu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling for half a month.

On the side of Platoon Leader Wang, the entire special operations platoon was divided into three combat groups, which were sent to ambush the enemy in batches on the route that the Gaoqiao Regiment had to take, using a tactic that combined mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare.

The first squad to engage the enemy was Class 1. The squad leader was Zhou Yun, who was also a member of the special training team. However, he only lasted until the general training subjects before being eliminated.

By the way, there is now a standard for judging strength circulating throughout the Eighth Route Army. If two eliminated special training team members meet, just see who can last the longest to prove who is stronger.

This is an open elimination tournament. Although some individuals will be eliminated early due to bad luck, most people still agree that the longer you persist, the stronger you will be.

While the Japanese army has not arrived yet, a young soldier at the side asked curiously:

"Squad leader, I heard that you have participated in the special forces training. Tell us about it and let us broaden our horizons."

"Are those special forces members like the legend says, able to fly over rooftops and walls, eight feet tall, with waists also eight feet in circumference, and look ferocious and evil, able to scare the Japanese into tears?"

Hearing someone describe the special forces members in this way, Platoon Leader Zhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He planned to popularize what the special forces are to prevent people from spreading more outrageous stories.

"In fact, the special operations team is not that mysterious. It just gathers most of the experts in the entire army together for training and assessment. In the end, most of the personnel are eliminated. Those who can stay are the elite among the elites, the masters among the masters."

"In the special training team, each person must consume at least 30 rounds of ammunition every day, and there are also various training programs. It can be said that every extra day you stay, your strength will improve by one point."

"Of course, the food there is also very good. There is meat in every meal, sometimes pork, sometimes chicken, and at least three eggs every day."

Hearing the squad leader say this, everyone exclaimed “Wow!”

I originally thought that the food in their special operations platoon was good enough. They could eat meat every day, although the amount was not much. But I didn't expect that the special operations team could eat meat three times a day. They were so lucky.
