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

At this time, the 772nd Regiment was confronting two enemy battalions in its jurisdiction. Basically, we were attacking and the Japanese were defending.

As the ace unit of the 386th Brigade, Captain Cheng's side was also allocated a recoilless gun and dozens of artillery shells. The Japanese's small artillery towers were basically cleared out, and the remaining ones were some tough nuts to crack.

The Japanese also learned their lesson. Their large forces retreated to large strongholds or county towns to defend them, leaving the vast rural areas to our troops.

The era when a three-story artillery tower in a village could control several nearby villages is gone forever.

In the future, we may enter a new stage of confrontation between the two sides. The enemy's strongholds will become thicker and thicker, the number of troops stationed there will increase, and the power of our offensive weapons will become stronger and stronger.

This is a battle between spear and shield. Whether our spear is sharper or the enemy's shield is stronger will be determined in the future.

At present, this is a very good thing for our vast base. We have broken the enemy's conspiracy to trap our base. Now it depends on the consumption of both sides.

However, Captain Cheng was a little depressed at this time. Although his 772nd Regiment also participated in the battle, the opponents they were assigned to had become cowards. No matter how they were tempted, they just refused to leave their solid stronghold.

"Chief of Staff, you said that the Japanese were really weird. In the past, whenever we sent out our main forces, they would definitely rush over like mad dogs and fight us to the death."

"But during this period, the Japanese have changed their nature and prefer to hide in large strongholds like turtles. The battle has been going on for such a long time, and our 722nd Regiment has only killed more than enemies, and half of them are puppet troops. It's embarrassing to tell others about this achievement."

"If this result was achieved in the past, it would have been pretty good, but when compared with others, it's a bit disappointing."

"Recently, the military district headquarters reported the battle reports of the independent regiment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment. Wow, these three brothers have made a big splash this time. The three regiments wiped out an entire regiment of the Japanese devils, which had more than 3,000 devils. This overshadowed everyone else's achievements."

"I don't know how arrogant Li Yunlong will be when I go to the headquarters for a meeting next time."

With Captain Cheng's rank, he is not qualified to know about the regiment flag, otherwise he would be so shocked. This is a groundbreaking military achievement, which is incomparable.

"Captain, this guy is incomparable to others, especially Li Yunlong's independent regiment. Our Eighth Route Army's first special operations team came from there. Many of their tactics are biased towards special operations, unlike our organized troops, which emphasize upright combat."

"Besides, Li Yunlong always goes to the arsenal to get something for free. The equipment of the independent regiment is definitely a level better than ours. They are no exception to this kind of results. We can't envy them enough."

When Captain Cheng heard what the chief of staff said, he was speechless. He understood all these principles, but he just felt a little unconvinced in his heart.

Whether in command ability or individual soldier quality, he was no inferior to Li Yunlong. It was a pity that he was unlucky and was always defeated by Li Yunlong and the independent regiment.

"Chief of Staff, stop complaining. Let's study how to fight a good turnaround with our current conditions and show the leaders that our 772nd Regiment is not a pushover."

At this moment, the guard ran in and said loudly:

"Commander, Chief of Staff, the transport team from the military district headquarters has arrived. The political commissar is not at the regiment headquarters. I need you to go and confirm."

Upon hearing that the material supply convoy had arrived, Captain Cheng was also very happy. Our logistics support is now much more adequate, and we can produce many weapons and equipment ourselves. The strength of our troops is also rising sharply.

War is all about logistics. In the past, we relied on the iron will of our soldiers to fight against the well-equipped Japanese. Now our equipment is slowly catching up, coupled with our iron will, it is not as simple as one plus one equals two, it has to be at least four, five, or six.

"Secretary Jiang, you are leading the team again. What good stuff did the military district send us this time?"

"Captain Cheng, this time we have quite a lot of supplies, including 300 newly produced helmets, 200 Mauser rifles, 20 Mauser pistols, and 3 rounds of ammunition. These were all exchanged from the military district and the arsenal for the rails and bullet shells that the 772nd Regiment had surrendered."

"Two mortars, 120 shells, 10 grenade launchers, 500 corresponding grenades"

"Ten Czech light machine gun barrels, ten recoilless shells, one thousand defensive grenades, and parts to make two thousand grenades."

"In addition, there are 500 bottles of alcohol for disinfection, 50 rolls of medical bandages for bandaging, 50 bicycles and tricycles, 10 air pumps, 1,000 sets of military uniforms, 300 quilts, 200 boxes of canned food and compressed biscuits, and 2 tons of cement."

"By the way, the brigade commander also asked me to bring a small box with a letter from him."

After saying this, he asked the guards to take the box out of the car and handed the envelope to Captain Cheng.

As for the supplies mentioned above, they are basically regular supplies, except for the Czech light machine gun barrels and recoilless gun shells which are a bit unexpected. The rest are basically available every month, it’s just a matter of more or less.

The soldiers' appetites have been spoiled now. It's not like before, when the soldiers would be happy for a long time if the military district distributed some supplies.

After this month's supply is completed, the 772nd Regiment will be able to expand by another infantry battalion, and its strength will reach more than people, which will take its strength to a new level.

However, these were what the commander and the political commissar had promised their regiment at the beginning of the month, so they were not surprising. Instead, it was the last letter and the small box that aroused the great interest of Captain Cheng.

What kind of treasure is hidden in here that would make the commander pay attention to it?

He first checked to see if the envelope had been opened, then opened it to see the contents.

The content of the letter was also very simple: the box contained a thousand sulfa tablets and one kilogram of powder, which could be used to treat the wounded.

We have now obtained a transportation line from abroad that can be used to purchase large quantities of sulfa drugs. In the future, we will continue to provide the troops with a steady supply of this miraculous anti-inflammatory drug, so Captain Cheng can use it with confidence, with the main focus on saving the wounded to the greatest extent possible.

As the saying goes: "When it is empty, make it real; when it is real, make it empty; the empty and the real are ever-changing."

The sulfa production line launched by the arsenal was too important. The leaders never dreamed that our troops would be able to obtain such precious anti-inflammatory drugs at once, and the output of the production line was so amazing that it could reach several tons a month.

This confused everyone at once. In the past, the sulfa tablets that we had obtained with great difficulty and at high prices were basically calculated by the tablet, but now they are directly measured in tons. The two are simply not on the same level.
