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

Chapter 566 Military Intelligence Officer Arrives

Of course, the Japanese's division-level artillery is still very powerful, especially the large-caliber howitzers above 105 mm. Their planes in the sky and warships on the sea are beyond our reach.

However, with the enemy's current strength, it is impossible for them to use division-level troops to engage in a decisive battle with us. If we cannot defeat them, we can completely avoid their attack and then cut off the enemy's logistics transportation lines. As long as the Japanese troops do not have enough ammunition, they will naturally retreat.

We used to do this when we were short of guns and bullets. Now we have sufficient ammunition, and there are a large number of well-equipped armed work teams active behind the Japanese. These troops alone are enough to give the Japanese a hard time.

Next, with Li Yunlong's order, the independent regiment's war machine immediately started moving. The entire regiment now has more than 13,000 people. In addition to the 3,000 garrison troops defending the industrial zone, a total of 10,000 troops were dispatched this time.

Only if we fight better in the front and eliminate more enemies, will the industrial zone in the rear be safer. If the Zhaojiayu Industrial Zone is safe, then the arsenal located in the core area of the base can rest assured and provide our troops with all kinds of weapons and equipment.

Moreover, we will not only fight in Shanxi Province, but also launch attacks in other provinces, such as Henan Province and Hebei Province, which border Shanxi Province, to tie down the Japanese's effective forces.

We Chinese have so many people, but in the past we were unable to stop the attacks of the Japanese invaders because of our backward equipment and almost zero military production capacity.

Now with our industrial strength, we can easily raise a force of 100,000 people in a month. Even if it is a two-for-one exchange, we can kill more than 50,000 Japanese devils. This is a great achievement.

To put it bluntly, the Japanese now rely on those old soldiers who have received long-term training. These people are professional soldiers who have been brainwashed for a long time and are well-trained. They are generally very good at shooting.

If a large number of these elite veterans of the enemy are consumed, the Japanese will only be able to recruit some of their own workers, small vendors, farmers and even technicians to join the army. At that time, the war will be easier to fight.

Moreover, once the Japanese suffer heavy losses in China, given their nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, they will definitely go to Southeast Asia to look for weak targets. Only then will we have the opportunity to launch a major counterattack.

Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the independent regiment, stayed in Zhaojiayu as usual. In addition to guarding the industrial zone, his most important task was to deliver various materials produced in the industrial zone to the troops on the front line.

Some time ago we stockpiled a large amount of supplies, especially various canned meats and compressed biscuits, which come in handy now.

Because of the departure of the main force, the entire base was under martial law, and the militia in each village was mobilized to prevent the infiltration of Japanese spies and special forces.

At the same time, the military district also sent a large number of intelligence personnel to the Zhaojiayu Industrial Zone to set up an intelligence department, headed by a man named Lu.

Zhao Gang was also very happy and warmly welcomed these professionals who came from afar.

"Chief Lu, I extend a warm welcome to you."

"You may not know that Lao Li and I are both laymen in intelligence work. We have always been worried about the infiltration of Japanese spies. Now, with professionals like you, I feel much more at ease."

"If you have any needs, just tell us. We will do whatever we can and will definitely provide you with good logistics support."

"By the way, we have found a temporary base for you. It is next to our regiment headquarters, and the back can be rebuilt according to your needs."

The current Zhaojiayu Industrial Zone is considered to be wealthy and powerful. Basically, it has everything you need. Even if it does not have it at the moment, it can hire technical personnel to carry out research and development.

"Political Commissar Zhao, our intelligence department needs sophisticated and compact weapons. We need equipment for at least a hundred people. It would be best if we had rapid-fire weapons like pistols and submachine guns."

After hearing this, Zhao Gang agreed without thinking.

"That's no problem. The Industrial Zone has recently developed a new pistol that is more suitable for the habits of Chinese people. The commander named it the Type 40 Pistol. Oh, yes, that's the one I have."

After he finished speaking, he took out a pistol from his belt and handed it to Chief Lu.

After Chief Lu took it, he tried it out and found that it was indeed as Political Commissar Zhao had said, very comfortable to use.

As a veteran, he is proficient in all kinds of firearms. He knows the advantages and disadvantages of a pistol just by using it once.

This is indeed a good gun, not as bulky as the Mauser C95, and is very suitable for use by intelligence personnel.

In fact, for intelligence personnel, the Mauser pistol is really not easy to use and its appearance is very bulky. It is extremely inconvenient to draw the gun when arresting spies.

Thinking of this, he put the gun into his pocket and found it was easy to put in and also very convenient to take out.

This time, only twenty people came from their intelligence department, and they are all the backbone. The others can be selected from the independent regiment, and peripheral personnel can be recruited locally.

As for weapons, he was the only one who brought an old Browning pistol that had been with him for many years. Before leaving, he specifically looked for the commander to apply for a batch of weapons.

However, the commander told him mysteriously that as long as he arrived at the independent regiment, he would have all the weapons he wanted and he should not have to worry about the military region.

After a while, Chief Lu returned the pistol to Political Commissar Zhao reluctantly.

Zhao Gang was amused by the scene and quickly explained, "You can go to the warehouse and pick out a handy pistol. We can produce more than 120 pistols of this type per day. I'll write a note to give priority to your intelligence department's equipment."

"By the way, we don't produce submachine guns yet, but there is a gun that is more powerful than submachine guns, called the Type 40 assault rifle. You can get one if you need it."

Hearing such heroic words, Chief Lu felt as if he was in another world. He wondered when their army had such a fortune.

In the past, most of their intelligence personnel were not equipped with pistols, and only members of the action team would be temporarily allocated one. As long as they obtained that kind of small pistol, they would basically find a way to send it to the big cities occupied by the Japanese to support the intelligence personnel there.

Now everyone can choose freely, and even have to consider the issue of whether it is convenient for them. My God, those who work in intelligence have never enjoyed such treatment.

Now that the weapons issue was resolved, Chief Lu made his next request:

"Political Commissar Zhao, I hope that our intelligence department can be equipped with a few telephones. I'm sure you also know that intelligence must be transmitted in a timely manner, otherwise it will be easy for the infiltrated enemy to escape."

"That's even easier. Our industrial zone is already able to produce telephones and telephone lines. All you need to do is apply for them. We'll have as many as you want."

"As for communication radios, our independent regiment currently does not have any extra ones, but the industrial zone has already started a project and has dedicated personnel to copy foreign military radios. I think relevant samples will be available soon, and we will give priority to equipping your intelligence department."
