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

At this time, Kong Jie, who had been silent on the side, also expressed his opinion.

"The Hexian County next door is a large county and a transportation hub for several nearby counties. There is a full battalion of Japanese soldiers and a brigade of puppet troops there. Once we start fighting, the enemy's reinforcements will definitely be dispatched."

"The Japanese will be able to send out at least 1500 reinforcements by then. Our independent regiment will not be able to resist so many people. Don't let this end up with us losing more than we gain. That would put us in a more passive position."

"It seems that this battle cannot be fought. We must not take risks with the lives of our soldiers. We are not afraid of sacrifice, but we cannot die in vain."

"Under this circumstance, our independent group's chance of winning is no more than 20%, so let's just forget it."

After saying this, he seemed to have used up all his strength and became completely dejected.

The greatest sorrow in the world is: knowing that the enemy is right in front of you, but being unable to take revenge due to lack of strength.

In fact, Kong Jie dreamed of having a one-on-one duel with Yamamoto's special forces and chopping those bastards to pieces with the big knife in his hand.

It's a pity that he is a commander and cannot act on impulse, let alone risk the lives of his soldiers.

Kong Hao saw this and hurriedly comforted him:

"Captain Kong, don't be so discouraged. There is always a way out."

"Some time ago, our independent regiment was researching a heavy artillery. Now it is almost done. As long as we give it another two days, we will be able to produce a finished product."

"The frontline positions of the Japanese strongholds this time are right within the attack range of this artillery. We can conduct tests on the battlefield and provide actual combat data for subsequent improvements."

After hearing this, Kong Jie asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"Those cannons you're talking about are just the gasoline barrels that Lao Li brought back from the brigade headquarters. What good are they?"

"Captain Kong, some things cannot be judged by appearance alone. This is the most suitable weapon for our Eighth Route Army. Once it appears on the battlefield, it will definitely scare the devils out of their wits."

At this time, Li Yunlong also said: "The Nanji stronghold is not far from Lao Ding's defense zone. With the current strength of the New 1st Regiment, it should not be a big problem to hold off a battalion of the Japanese for a day."

"As long as we are fast enough and can capture the Japanese stronghold within a day, we can still win this battle."

However, Kong Jie was still very worried about the unauthorized mobilization of two regiments to avenge the Independent Regiment. If their superiors investigated it, the three of them would not be able to bear the consequences.

So he told all his concerns in detail, and emphasized that this was only for revenge for him and the Independence Regiment, and it would not sound good if it were made public.

However, Li Yunlong did not take it seriously and said confidently:

"Lao Kong, I know the brigade commander best. As long as we can win the battle and seize a large amount of supplies."

"Even if they find out about this later, they will still hold us up high and then let us go gently because we handed over the supplies. In the end, it will definitely not happen again. I'm used to it."

"Besides, this is such a great opportunity. We have finally caught the whereabouts of those bastards from Yamamoto's special forces. We must take revenge and avenge our grievances. How can we let our enemies go?"

"Okay, I'm the leader of the independent group, I'm the one who makes the decision on this matter, beat the hell out of him."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to Lao Ding to discuss the matter of sending troops together."

"Xiao Kong, you have to hurry up with the artillery and get it out as soon as possible."

Kong Hao stood up, patted his chest and said loudly:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Next, he left the conference room and came to the research workshop specially built by the Independent Regiment.

"Engineer Sun, how is the new type of explosive pack being improved?"

Ever since Kong Hao brought over the latest explosives formula from the future, Engineer Sun and his research team have made rapid progress, plus there are also large quantities of other raw materials at the headquarters arsenal.

Although the new type of explosives produced is not as powerful as the TNT produced by the Japanese mechanized production, its explosive power is about 50%, which is already extremely good.

Engineer Zhang said excitedly, "Captain Kong, we have produced 20 explosive packs. We are preparing to test the explosion effect tomorrow so that we can get specific data and make improvements later."

Kong Hao thought about it and realized that in front of the conscienceless cannon, there was actually no difference between the performance of 50% and 80% of the explosives. The main thing was that it was all about quantity.

A pack of explosives weighs more than 10 kilograms. As long as it can be thrown at the heads of the Japanese, all enemies will die peacefully.

In fact, it can also be calculated this way. The Japanese melon grenade is loaded with about 65 grams of explosives. One explosive pack is equivalent to about 150 grenades exploding in a very small area.

The power of this kind of explosive pack can be imagined. Even if it is filled with black powder, the destructive power is estimated to be astonishing. The phrase "heartless" is not just talk.

But Kong Hao had his own plans. He said seriously:

"The test can be conducted directly on the battlefield. Our regiment is about to engage in a major battle. Your explosives team should give priority to producing 200 10-jin explosive packs and propellant. They must be completed the day after tomorrow."

When Zhang Gong heard that there was going to be another war, he immediately agreed and enthusiastically promised to show his skills on the battlefield.

To be honest, he has been in the army for two years, but has never been to the battlefield himself, nor has he ever killed a Japanese soldier himself.

Director Ma of the arsenal protected them too well and would never let these military workers get close to any battlefield.

Although this is also for their own good, it is not as satisfying as fighting the Japanese with your own hands, especially throwing the explosive packs you developed yourself at the enemy's head. This feeling is the most refreshing.

Next, Kong Hao took a look at the manufacturing of the Unscrupulous Cannon launcher and put forward some suggestions for improvement.

Early the next morning, Li Yunlong took several guards to the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment to discuss the next joint operations between the two regiments.

As for Ding Wei, he was also idle. He was looking at the battle map and thinking carefully about where to go to make a move in order to seize some supplies.

Thanks to the last transaction with Li Yunlong, the new regiment’s ammunition was greatly replenished. At the same time, the new recruits were trained and gradually integrated into the army.

The best training now is to pull the troops out, engage in small-scale battles with the Japanese, and allow the new recruits to grow quickly in actual combat.

This is also a tactic commonly used by the Eighth Route Army. As long as the new recruits fight a few battles, they will become elite veterans. Although their troops will suffer huge casualties as a result, this is also a helpless measure.

The current situation in China is extremely critical. The Japanese are extremely arrogant and there is no time for the new recruits to grow slowly.

In addition, our troops have little ammunition, and the emphasis is on killing one enemy with one bullet. It is simply impossible to give the new recruits a large amount of live-ammunition shooting.

In short, it can be described in one sentence: in this special era, most of the Chinese army used their flesh and blood to fight against the enemy's steel.
