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

Since we have decided to use Quangang as a berthing point for freighters, we must find a way to strengthen the garrison here. Weapons and ammunition are temporarily difficult to support, but other supplies are still possible.

For example, a large amount of food and canned food. As long as the soldiers defending the city are well fed and their physical fitness is improved, their combat effectiveness will naturally be greatly enhanced.

There are also reinforced concrete. As long as we build a large number of solid fortifications, the Japanese will not be able to get close to our defense positions even if they want to attack Quangang without paying a heavy price.

Now the Japanese's front line is too long and their troops are far from enough. In particular, the strong rise of our bases has tied up twice as many enemy troops as usual. In addition, each village has a large number of militiamen, all equipped with Hanyang rifles or Type 38 rifles eliminated by the main force.

You read it right. At present, our militia has been gradually equipped with the enemy's Type 38 rifle. After all, this rifle has many advantages. In fact, the biggest one is its small recoil and high accuracy. It is the most suitable one for militia training.

As for the main force, most of the soldiers are waiting to be equipped with the improved Ma Sihuan rifle. This rifle is powerful and has an advantage over the Japanese Type 38 rifle. In addition, we already have seven or eight bullet production lines, so there is no problem with ammunition supply. Even during normal training, we use live ammunition shooting extensively.

In the past, if a small Japanese unit near the militia guerrillas seized a few Type 38 rifles, they would basically find a way to send them to the main force to enhance the strength of the main force.

The army now has a clear regulation that any captured items in the local area will be handled by the local troops themselves and do not need to be sent to the main force, which would be too troublesome.

Moreover, the grenade production of our arsenal is also incredibly high. They are often distributed in large quantities to the militia guerrillas, and almost every militiaman can get one.

Things started to get weird afterwards. When five or six Japanese soldiers and more than 30 puppet soldiers went to the village to rob food, they encountered a squad of our militia in the village, which had about people. The number of people on both sides seemed to be about the same.

The enemy has five or six Type 38 rifles + thirty Hanyang rifles + one Type 99 light machine gun + one Czech light machine gun VS ours has ten Type 38 rifles + more than twenty Hanyang rifles + ten old sleeve rifles.

If we look at the weapons literally, the enemy still has some firepower advantages, but we have an absolute geographical advantage.

Fighting in a village is not just about looking at superficial numbers. Being familiar with the terrain can greatly weaken the enemy's firepower advantage.

In addition, our militia is equipped with a large number of defensive grenades. This type of high-explosive grenade has a great advantage in village attack and defense battles, and can completely keep small groups of enemies out of the village.

Of course, the enemy could also send out large-scale troops, such as a squadron with a puppet army company, but in some small counties, the enemy's total strength was only a squadron plus a battalion of puppet troops.

If we send out a small team for every battle, we can only do it a few times a month. Besides, even if the enemy sends out a small team, they cannot defeat us every time.

After all, as long as the weapons and equipment are in place, we can easily form a team of five or six hundred people even in a small county. This is our biggest advantage.

This is also the reason why the Japanese are getting weaker and weaker. China is too big, and the Japanese can no longer loot things in the countryside as unscrupulously as before, so the cost to the enemy will become higher and higher.

However, the Japanese will not be able to detect this situation in a short period of time, which is also a good thing for us who are in the process of development.

Qian Yu went there this time in the name of a businessman, and he was also the agent of a merchant from Niu Niu Country, which made things much more convenient.

When he arrived at the headquarters of the 1125th Regiment, he was informed by the guard at the door and then came to the reception room of the headquarters.

At this time, Captain Gu was cursing in the regiment headquarters, mainly because his superiors only issued 70% of the previous military pay this month, and the price of rice in the market had increased by 20%. As a result, their regiment could buy much less food.

Now the soldiers can’t even get enough food, and they have to save as much as possible on daily training, not to mention strengthening the city’s defense fortifications.

The Japanese could launch an attack on Quangang at any time. How could a troop that could not even get enough food and was short of ammunition resist an attack from a large force of Japanese armed to the teeth?

He complained gloomily: "Chief of Staff, no wonder the people in the rear often say: The front is tight, and the rear is tight."

"When will those uncles in the logistics department understand that if we lose our lips, we will be together as one. If we can't hold our front line, it will be useless for them to make more money."

The chief of staff's surname is Hua. Although he looks gentle, he is a tough guy. He is best at bayonet fighting. Five or six Japanese soldiers died at his hands.

When he heard Captain Gu's complaint, he immediately rolled his eyes and laughed at him:

"How could those bloated guys possibly think of this? Not to mention the lips and teeth are interdependent, as long as the supplies that have passed through their hands don't have to go through one hand and don't mix stones into the food, I'll be grateful."

"We are better off, after all, this is Zhejiang Province, and with the guy from Shancheng watching us, those guys don't dare to act too recklessly. The other friendly forces are worse off than us. Before every meal, they have to send someone to sift the food through a sieve before they can eat it."

"For now, we can only find a way to buy some food from the market. We have to keep the soldiers well fed. Otherwise, if the Japanese attack us, what will we use to resist them?"

"You have to know that we are the Hunan Army. Although the mountains and rivers are scorched earth after hundreds of battles, there are still loyal souls protecting the country."

"Think about the brothers who died in the Battle of Songhu. We who are still alive cannot bring shame to the martyrs. If the Japanese come, we can just fight them. We have killed a lot of them over the years. It's worth it."

Next, the two fell into sorrow again. They thought of their fallen comrades again. Perhaps they would meet each other in the underworld soon.

At this time, the orderly pushed the door open and said that a businessman was visiting and wanted to discuss important matters with the regiment commander.

Although Captain Gu didn't know why a businessman came to see him at this time, he still politely asked the guards to invite the man into the reception room.

In the past, when their regiment had just arrived in Quangang City, they would often encounter wealthy businessmen in the city bringing people to entertain the troops. Every time that happened, it was the happiest time for the entire regiment, as it also meant that the soldiers could have enough to eat, and even get to eat meat if they were lucky.

However, as the war progressed, other troops were often defeated, losing cities and territories everywhere. Gradually, such good things became less and less frequent, and in the past few months there have been no such things at all.

Now that I think about it, it is their duty as soldiers to defend their country. But now the enemy has invaded their country and countless civilians have been implicated. It is reasonable for everyone to be angry. Most of them should be feeling disappointed in their country.
