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

This is produced by our own factory, not the canned food and compressed biscuits captured from the enemy.

Although we have seized canned food and compressed biscuits from the enemy in the past, they are like water without a source and trees without roots. Once they are eaten, they are gone. We can only use them at the most critical moment.

For example, if you take out three or five cans of canned beef and put them into a large pot of wild vegetables, it would be considered the best food in the army.

After both sides finished dinner, they arranged a large number of guards to prevent the other side from launching a night attack. However, Shen Quan and Takahashi Ryo were wrong. It was quiet tonight.

The Japanese were unfamiliar with the area, and they hadn't slept the whole night, so they had no intention of launching a night attack.

On our side, we have solid defensive positions, and the casualties we inflict on the enemy are much greater than our own. Only a fool would be willing to launch a night attack, which would kill a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of our own.

In the past, even if we killed 500 enemies and lost 1,000 of our own, it was considered acceptable. After all, our weapons and equipment were inferior to theirs, our personnel training was inferior to theirs, and even their logistical support was inferior to theirs. Apart from human lives, we had nothing else. If we didn't fight hard, we could only wait to become slaves of a conquered nation.

Now, if the elite troops fought with the Japanese and the casualty ratio was 1:1, the military commander would probably be embarrassed to see people.

In this way, the night passed peacefully without any accidents.

The next morning, after breakfast, both sides continued fighting.

However, last night, because the attack was unsuccessful, Takahashi Ryo specifically requested air support from Shinozuka Yoshio, in order to break the situation as soon as possible and break through the position of the independent regiment in one go.

Of course, it would be best if the independent regiment could be defeated or wiped out, and it would also be a revenge for the shame in Cangyun Ridge.

Coincidentally, at night, Li Yunlong was also thinking about how to completely wipe out the Gaoqiao Regiment to make up for the regret left behind at Cangyunling that year.

Last night, Ding Wei and Kong Jie led the main forces of the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments respectively, and quietly moved to the rear of Gaoqiao Liang, preparing to set up a large pocket formation. After the Independent Regiment consumed a large amount of the Japanese's strength, the three regiments launched an attack together to wipe out this rampant enemy.

In addition to these, Li Yunlong also mobilized his ace troops to ensure that he would kill the enemy with one strike.

After repeated consideration, Yoshio Shinozuka decided to provide air support to the Takahashi Regiment in the morning, but only one batch.

The main thing is that the entire Shanxi Province is in chaos now, there are wars everywhere, and air support is needed everywhere.

Even the two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army had approached within ten kilometers of the Japanese airport and were engaged in a fierce battle with the airport guard forces. The limited number of aircraft could only be used on the most critical battlefield.

When the enemy planes flew over the Second Battalion's position, it did cause a panic, but we were well prepared for this situation. We had anticipated the threat of Japanese planes when we were building fortifications, so we were ready.

In later generations, our troops suffered heavy bombing from the Eagle Country's superior air force every time they fought on the Korean battlefield, at Changjin Lake, at Shangganling, and at Songgufeng. We had a lot of experience in position air defense.

When Kong Hao was in the arsenal, he also wrote a book called "On Air Defense Operations in Positional Warfare". The book detailed some basic knowledge of the Japanese Air Force, including the identification and performance parameters of various types of aircraft, and the use of different defense methods for different types of aircraft to reduce casualties among the soldiers.

After the book was written and sent to the headquarters, it immediately caused a sensation, and all the leaders praised it highly after reading it.

Our troops had very limited knowledge of the enemy's aircraft. After all, these were the core secrets of the Japs, and our intelligence personnel had no way of getting them.

As for the government's aircraft, they were outdated models and had no reference value at all.

The head of the headquarters immediately ordered people to print a large number of copies and distribute them to all regimental combat units, asking the people below to read and understand them carefully, and formulate corresponding countermeasures based on their actual conditions.

After a period of practice, this systematic air defense measure can indeed reduce casualties.

For example, the tactic of setting smoke on the battlefield can make it difficult for the enemy's planes in the sky to be seen clearly, so whether it is a fighter jet's strafing or a bomber's bombing, the hit rate will be much lower.

The arsenal also rushed to produce a large number of smoke bombs to provide to the troops, but our troops were too large and too scattered to take care of them all.

Most of the troops have formed special anti-aircraft units, which use a mixture of wet leaves or freshly cut grass to light on the battlefield to cover the battlefield.

Although the effect is average, it is much better than before. After all, looking down from the sky, all you see is smoke, and air strikes don’t have much effect. It can only reduce the damage done by enemy aircraft by more than 30%.

Moreover, the Japanese's aviation gasoline is extremely precious and is usually used sparingly, so it is impossible to waste it in large quantities.

Our troops are the best at learning in combat. As a large number of front-line troops pass on their experience in air defense operations back to headquarters, the corresponding air defense tactics are constantly being improved, so that we can have more targeted measures against enemy aircraft.

In addition to guiding the work of various factories in the arsenal, Kong Hao also spent a lot of time writing books, all kinds of books, including those about production, the military, and even education.

In short, he wrote down everything he could think of, regardless of whether it was useful or not. Maybe it seemed useless now, but it might play a big role in the future. Especially with the support of the system, many things could be combined with the current situation to give pertinent suggestions.

However, I don't know whether Kong Hao did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he also specifically mentioned the various parameters of the Zero aircraft in the book "On Air Defense Warfare in Positional Warfare".

Of course, this did not attract the attention of the leaders. After all, for our troops, any of the Japanese aircraft was advanced. Even if the performance was a little abnormal, it was the same to us.

However, by chance later on, this book caused a huge disturbance.

The Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment has a deeper understanding of air defense, mainly because Kong Hao has been in the Independent Regiment for too long, and often instilled various knowledge into everyone intentionally or unintentionally.

When Shen Quan saw the enemy planes arriving, he immediately ordered the air defense company to enter combat status.

The independent regiment had previously formed an air defense company specializing in battlefield air defense. In order to stop the Takahashi Regiment, the entire company was sent to the Second Battalion.

When the soldiers of the anti-aircraft company discovered that the Japanese planes had arrived, they sent back the news of the enemy attack through the message tree and telephone some time in advance, giving our front-line combat troops ample time to prepare.

This is also because the independent regiment's weapons and equipment are extremely sophisticated, and the ammunition reserves are relatively sufficient. In addition, the soldiers are well-trained and have outstanding marksmanship. This allows them to do other things while resisting the offensive of a regiment of the Japanese devils.

To put it bluntly before, the soldiers only had three bullets in their hands, and they could only shoot when the enemy was within 20 meters. Then it would be hand-to-hand combat. It was estimated that for such a small-scale battle, the Japanese would not even bother to send out planes and large-scale weapons.
