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

However, the more Ding Wei looked at the map, the more annoyed he became. The Japanese had built many artillery towers in their defense zone, and they were densely marked all over the map.

He said to Chief of Staff Jia in a depressed tone: "The Japanese are too much. They have built a gun tower right in front of our house. They really don't take our New 1st Regiment seriously."

"They just bully us because the Eighth Route Army doesn't have heavy weapons. If I had a Type 92 infantry gun, I would tear down all the Japanese's gun towers."

Chief of Staff Jia was transferred to the New 1st Regiment later and was Ding Wei's former partner.

Hearing the complaints from his old comrades, he couldn't help but complain:

"Old Ding, forget about getting a Type 386 infantry gun. We only have a few of them in the th Brigade, and we are short of ammunition."

"Besides, even if there is, we won't be able to use it in a short period of time. This kind of artillery with barreled artillery is not easy to train."

"By the way, you are so familiar with Captain Li. Last time, he led the team to help us easily capture an enemy stronghold. Let's see if we can ask him for a favor again this time."

"As long as we can capture a few more of the Japanese strongholds, our future will definitely be much better."

After hearing this, Ding Wei shook his head and responded:

"It's not that good. Lao Li told me that the weapon called a rocket launcher was brought back from abroad by an overseas Chinese, and there wasn't much ammunition."

"If Lao Li hadn't wanted to exchange some elite veterans with our New 1st Regiment last time, we wouldn't have been able to use it. This kind of good stuff must be used where it matters most."

"Since we destroyed the enemy's artillery tower last time, there has been no movement from the Independent Regiment. I think they are running low on ammunition."

"To forge iron, you must be strong yourself. When it comes to getting supplies, you can't rely on others. You still have to find a way yourself."

"Lao Jia, this is what I think. Spread out the reconnaissance companies and keep an eye on the enemy's transportation lines. I don't believe that the Japanese will stay in the stronghold without food or water."

However, the next sentence exposed his lack of confidence:

"If the Japanese transport team has fewer guards, we'll take action; if they have more, forget it."

At this time, there was a noisy sound coming from outside the door, and Li Yunlong's loud voice.

"Old Ding, I'm here to see you."

Li Yunlong arrived at the New 1st Regiment as if he were at home. After a while he arrived at the regiment headquarters and pushed the door open and walked in.

When Chief of Staff Jia saw Li Yunlong coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him, then chose to leave. He still had a lot of things to do and did not want to disturb the regiment commander and his old comrades chatting.

When Ding Wei saw Li Yunlong coming, he immediately started joking:

"Old Li, you never come to my temple for no reason. How come you have time to come to my little place?"

"But let's make it clear in advance. Even though we are brothers from the same class, we still have to settle accounts clearly."

"Last time we did business, I gave you an extra mortar. After I came back, I thought about it carefully and felt that I made a loss on this deal."

"The people you want to go with are the core combat force of my new regiment. Without them, the combat effectiveness of my troops will drop significantly. You have to compensate me."

Hearing Ding Wei's shameless words, Li Yunlong was about to make some sarcastic remarks, but considering that he was asking for a favor this time, he lowered his voice and said:

"Old Ding, if you want compensation, no problem."

After saying this, he called the guard in from outside the door and placed a bag he was carrying on the table.

Then he opened the bag in a flattering manner, revealing a carton of cigarettes.

Seeing this, Ding Wei smiled and said:

"Wow, a whole carton of Japanese cigarettes. Lao Li, you must have made a fortune, how could you bear to give away such good things?"

"It's just a cigarette, but you made it so mysterious that I thought you were giving me a yellow croaker. I was so happy for nothing."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately laughed and scolded:

"Old Ding, go to hell, do you have such a big face?"

"I can't help it. There are acquaintances everywhere in the new regiment. If I walk in with a cigarette in my hand, it will probably be gone before I reach the door."

Ding Wei reluctantly accepted Li Yunlong's statement, but he did not rush to open the cigarette. Instead, he said vigilantly:

"Old Li, you have always been a person who only takes in but never gives out. You would even treat a weight as a gold ingot. You must have something to ask for since you brought me such a good gift."

"Tell me the thing first and see if I can do it first. But I have to say this beforehand. I will not do something that violates discipline without orders."

Ding Wei is a seasoned man, and his words are always flawless. Of course, if there is any benefit or advantage to be gained, he will definitely be the first to rush forward.

If he decisively refuses, it only proves that the temptation given by Li Yunlong is not enough and he needs to pay more.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were from the same class and knew each other's personalities. So they didn't follow the political commissar's example and just stated their intentions directly.

"Old Ding, to be honest, Old Kong and I are in trouble this time. We really have no other options, so we came to you to borrow some troops."

"Yesterday, our independent group accidentally discovered the traces of Yamamoto's special forces. As you know, the independent group was scolded by the boss as a dough, and this matter has been weighing on Lao Kong's mind."

"As an old comrade, if I didn't know about my enemy, it would be fine. But now that I know, I must avenge him."

"It's just that these Yamamoto special forces are hiding in the Japanese's stronghold. Our independent regiment is not strong enough, so we came here to borrow troops."

Ding Wei was also aware of the two incidents of the independent regiment being attacked and scolded, but he was just a small regiment leader, and even if he wanted to help, he could not do anything.

Now that he heard the news about his enemies, he was also very excited. This kind of opportunity to avenge his old comrades was not common, and his New 1st Regiment would definitely help.

"Old Li, tell me, where are those bastards hiding? We must not let them get away this time."

Li Yunlong saw a map on the wall, walked over quickly, pointed to a place, and said loudly:

"right here."

Ding Wei took a closer look and immediately took a breath of cold air.

Where Li Yunlong pointed, there were four big characters written on it: "Nanji Stronghold."

He returned to the conference table silently, pushed the cigarette on the table over, and said in a slightly apologetic tone:

"Old Li, this Nanji stronghold is too strong. We can't take it down with just two regiments."

"There is a group of bunkers there, with ten large bunkers in total, and there are communication trenches connecting the positions in front of the bunkers."

"To be honest, with our current strength, we have no chance of winning if we attack such a tightly defended enemy stronghold."

"If we force the attack, at least one of our two regiments will be killed in the Nanji stronghold, which is not worth it."

"As the old saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

"Go back and tell Lao Kong that we'll let it go this time. The next time we run into that Yamamoto Special Forces in the wild, I'll personally lead a battalion to destroy them."
