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

Chapter 562: The Battle of Ping'an-Gele is about to begin

After hearing this, Kong Hao said with a hint of meaning: "My father has shares in the Eagle Country Naval Shipyard. As long as we have a suitable port and enough crew members, it would be a piece of cake to get a few destroyers. As for cruisers and battleships, we can afford the money. But we don't have the corresponding manpower, so it would be useless even if we get them."

"Not only that, Zhao Jiayu's base has developed high-quality cement suitable for building airports. We are currently building a secret airport. Once the time is right, I will find a way to get a few fighter jets back."

"It's a pity that we don't have pilots and ground crew. We need to train them slowly, which takes a long time."

"Wait, Xiao Kong, don't speak so fast, let me sort out my thoughts first."

"You said you could get us a navy ship?"

"Yes, as long as we have the corresponding docking place and naval officers and soldiers who can operate ships, we can form a small naval fleet."

"You just said we could get a plane?"

"Yes, this is actually even simpler. As long as we build the airport, we will find a way to get some advanced fighter jets from abroad and fly them back directly. I have already started preparing for this, and there will be results in half a month at most."

"The most important thing for us now is to find a way to secretly gather a group of educated warriors and train some of our pilots and ground crew first."

After hearing these two explosive pieces of news, Minister Zhang didn't know what to say for a moment. This kind of thing was completely beyond his understanding.

Finally, he smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Kong, this matter is too serious. I have to go back and report it to the bosses. However, I personally fully support these two matters. If you have anything in the future, just tell me directly. If you need someone, give them to me. As for things, just ask for them directly if you like them."

After saying that, he left immediately. Compared with these two major things, things like material transportation were trivial matters.

As soon as Minister Zhang left, the commander came to the independent regiment and announced the latest order.

When Li Yunlong and the commander came to the secret base to find Kong Hao, Li Yunlong was the first to ask:

"Xiao Kong, I saw Lao Zhang just now. You told him something good. He looked like he had picked up a gold ingot."

Kong Hao continued to repeat what had just happened. Anyway, given the level of the two people in front of him, they were fully authorized to know these things.

After hearing this, the commander was immediately shocked and asked: "Xiao Kong, according to what you mean, does it mean that our troops can form an air force and navy soon?"

"Commander, the navy is still a bit troublesome. After all, we currently don't have a suitable port. Even if we form one, we can only get some small gunboats. It's better than nothing."

"But the air force is better. The family has recruited some retired pilots from abroad and obtained two of the Eagle Country's most advanced fighter jets, two transport planes, a bomber, and a large number of primary training planes."

"Once our airfield is built, we can find a way to fly directly from foreign airports to form our own air force."

After hearing this, the commander could only sigh loudly: "Great! I never thought that we would have the opportunity to form our own air force. Although the number is a little small, it doesn't matter. Everything is difficult at the beginning."

"Don't think that we only have five now. I think it won't be long before we have ten, fifty, or even a hundred."

"By the way, Xiao Kong, how can our military district help? If you need anything, just tell us directly. We will do whatever we can."

"Not for now, I'll talk to you when I need it."

After finishing the work here, the commander finally told the reason why he came here today:

"According to the headquarters commander's instructions, our troops should use the Arsenal and Zhao Jiayu base as the center of the circle and continuously attack outwards to gain strategic space for the two major industrial bases."

"Our military region has been assigned the latest mission this time, which is to capture five county towns. There are about 30,000 enemies in front of us. Among them, Ping'an County is the most solid, with a garrison regiment and a puppet army brigade stationed there. There is also a mixed brigade of the enemy troops around it."

"I plan to draw out the main force of the independent regiment and form an attack group with the new first and second regiments to recapture Ping'an County. I will also mobilize three newly formed core regiments to cooperate."

"Other troops in the military region have formed another attack group to prepare to recapture other county towns, and many brother troops are also participating in the attack together."

In fact, this is also a battle plan made by the heads of the headquarters based on the current situation. As our two major industrial bases have discovered top-quality iron ore and copper ore in the ground, the output of weapons and equipment has increased significantly.

According to statistics, the production of rifles can reach about 50,000 per month, the production of Mauser pistols can reach 10,000, and the production of Czech light machine guns can reach about 1,000. As for the Maxim heavy machine gun, it has been successfully developed and put into small-scale production. The output is not large for the time being, with only about 100 produced per month.

As for bullet production, with the support of high-quality copper mines and the complete set of industrial mother machines we have, we are able to mass-produce bullet production lines. The current monthly production of bullets has reached 8 million rounds.

Even the steel-cased copper-clad bullet project that had been approved earlier was urgently halted, all technical personnel were assigned to other project development teams, and all the technical data that had been researched was sealed.

Originally, we were developing alternative solutions because of the shortage of copper in our base. Now, a large number of high-quality copper mines have been discovered. We can just dig them out and smelt them without having to go through the trouble of developing alternatives.

The same is true for steel. Take bicycles as an example. Now that we have opened up foreign transportation lines, we can import large quantities of natural rubber from Southeast Asia. The bottleneck that restricted bicycle production no longer exists.

The total output of all bicycles now reaches 50,000 per month, including 40,000 of the most popular human-powered tricycles and 10,000 two-wheeled bicycles. Many regiment-level units have their own bicycle transport units.

The local armed work teams were basically equipped with bicycles, and their efficiency in carrying out their tasks was greatly improved.

At the same time, due to the existence of a large number of freight bicycles among the people, the speed of material circulation has increased a lot, and the economic and industrial strength has also increased in a spiral manner.

It is precisely because of this that the leaders have formulated this major combat plan, which is to let our troops take the initiative, engage in continuous combat with the enemy, and continuously bleed the enemy.

As long as our logistical support can keep up, coupled with the production capacity of the two major industrial zones, we can definitely fight forward, continuously expand our base, and gain greater room for development.

This is not only true in Shanxi Province, but also in several other provinces. The Japanese's current battle line is too long, and their military strength is far from the scale of later generations. With our current military industrial strength, we can completely compete with the enemy in terms of consumption and delay the enemy's offensive.

As long as the benefits the enemy gains from China cannot keep up with their consumption, it will be a great victory for us.

Originally, the Japanese armored forces had an absolute advantage, but since our troops were equipped with a large number of recoilless guns, the Japanese armored forces are now like an iron coffin and are not worth mentioning.
