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

Everyone was delighted after hearing this; this was what they had always dreamed of.

It's not that everyone is unaware of the benefits of mechanized warfare, but the conditions simply did not exist in the past, and occasionally captured trucks would be abandoned because the gasoline had run out.

Now that they hear that there is so much fuel, they will definitely find a way to form their own small mechanized unit. It doesn't have to be large, but at least a company will be fine.

Moreover, it is very convenient and fast to transport supplies using military trucks. The conditions were not available before, but now we need to plan carefully. At least the number of drivers in the army should be increased. In the future, if we seize various vehicles of the enemy, we can use them on the spot instead of burning them directly as before, which would be a pity.

Although burning the enemy's transport vehicles will not be of much benefit to the improvement of our troop strength, but now, with one more military truck, the strength of our troops can be improved by one point.

At this time, Commander Xu at the side asked pointedly: "Old Li, did you get the gasoline from the arsenal, so you have the strength to show off like this?"

It was really a wake-up call for everyone. Just then everyone reacted. When they just entered the headquarters gate, they saw Li Yunlong driving five handsome motorcycles to show off there.

I have to admit that the shape formed by the five motorcycles is indeed better looking than that of war horses. This is the impact brought by mechanized equipment.

So everyone turned their eyes to Li Yunlong, asking him to give an explanation, otherwise he would be in trouble. This kind of behavior of eating alone would make him sick.

Li Yunlong laughed and said proudly: "I got a ton of gasoline from Xiao Kong, and five newly produced military motorcycles, but there are conditions. I promised Xiao Kong that I would help him test the performance of the motorcycles."

When everyone heard Li Yunlong's explanation, they were immediately disappointed. Only Li Yunlong could do such a thing. They were not familiar with the chief consultant of the arsenal, and he might not give them face.

On the contrary, Kong Jie, who had been silent on the side, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes. Since Li Yunlong could do it, he should be able to do it too. After all, his friendship with Kong Hao was no worse than Li Yunlong's.

The political commissar also added with a smile: "Since we have already brought it up, I will not hide it from you. Yes, our arsenal can already mass-produce military motorcycles. Although we can only produce a few every day, I think it won't be long before our troops can drive our own motorcycles."

"At the same time, there are channels for the relevant fuel sources, and the mechanization process of our troops has taken a big step forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, the commander took the lead in applauding, and then the whole conference room burst into applause that lasted for a long time.

Everyone was sighing that it was not easy at all. Many people had put in a lot of hard work and sacrificed a lot to get their troops to where they are today.

At first, the arsenal could only make bayonets and repair damaged guns, then it was able to make Mauser pistols, side-loading Mauser pistols and matching bullets, and now it can even make motorcycles, which really makes everyone overjoyed. It would not be surprising if it could even make tanks.

In the past, if the Japanese's industrial strength was 100, ours was at most 1; now the enemy is still 100, but our industrial strength has increased to 5, which is a huge improvement.

In fact, all the team leaders can clearly feel that our current logistics support capabilities have made a leap forward.

Things had been pretty much discussed, and the political commissar was just about to adjourn the meeting, telling everyone to go home. So many people couldn't stay in the headquarters for dinner, otherwise they would bankrupt the headquarters.

Li Yunlong stood up quickly and said loudly: "Commander, Political Commissar, I have something to say."

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to sit down again and see what Li Yunlong was going to do next.

Li Yunlong quickly recounted the events of the Zhaojiayu Industrial Zone, and then began to complain:

"My two old leaders, my old friends, recently the independent regiment and I have been assigned by the leader to serve as a reserve force in the rear. There is simply no way we can guard a large area of wilderness."

"According to Lao Zhao, we are in urgent need of a large number of high-quality talents, so I am thinking of returning to the military region to seek help."

This matter was arranged by Political Commissar Wang. The purpose was to allow Li Yunlong and the independent regiment to go to the heart of the base to avoid the limelight. They have been in the limelight recently and it is easy for them to be targeted by the Japanese.

If Li Yunlong and his independent regiment had only engaged in minor fights before, generally fighting against a battalion, it would basically not attract much attention from the enemy's top leaders.

However, since the Independent Regiment wiped out an enemy regiment, even the enemy's First Army Commander Yoshio Shinozuka would definitely make great efforts to investigate Li Yunlong's background.

After all, the independent regiment is now a powerful force, and its strength is at least equal to that of an enemy brigade. The Japanese will definitely send spies to collect all the information about Li Yunlong and the independent regiment.

The independent regiment is too involved with Kong Hao, and the arsenal will inevitably be discovered in the future. This is a big trouble. After all, most of the current changes in the arsenal are closely related to Kong Hao.

It just so happened that Kong Hao also applied to open a branch base and needed a strong force as a garrison. He also recommended the independent regiment. The leaders also thought it was a good idea and agreed to the plan.

The main thing is that it took less than half a year for the arsenal to develop from a very weak state to its current size. If Kong Hao is given another half a year, he will probably be able to create another arsenal of the same size. By that time, our troops will have enough capital to not fear any challenges from the Japanese.

In fact, with the current strength of our troops, we can barely protect ourselves, unless the Japanese are willing to transfer 200,000 of the most elite field troops from other battlefields to Shanxi Province, which will pose a major threat to our base.

Otherwise, the enemy's half-crippled First Army would not be able to cause much damage to our base. It is estimated that the Japanese are now so traumatized by our attacks that they have no courage to set foot in our base.

This is a golden opportunity. We can use this peaceful time to develop our industry.

Moreover, we can also use transportation channels to transport the various weapons and ammunition produced by the arsenal to bases in other provinces. Through fierce fighting there, we can attract the enemy's attention and buy time for the development of our arsenal.

As long as other bases had enough guns and ammunition, they could easily double their military strength. The veterans of the main force were equipped with Mausoleum rifles, side-opening Mauser pistols and newly produced Czech light machine guns, as well as a large number of mortars and grenade launchers.

When an infantry battalion faces an enemy squadron, it will definitely not be at a disadvantage, and this will tie up a large number of enemy manpower.

In the past, our main forces were short of weapons and ammunition, especially mortars. It was extremely difficult for one main force to defeat even a small squad of the Japanese devils, and we might not even be able to defeat them.
