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

When Captain Yamabe saw that they had been ambushed, he immediately ordered everyone to retreat, but it was too late. Within just a few minutes, hundreds of high-explosive bombs were fired at the crowd of Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers could not even find a place to hide.

In the end, more than one squadron of about 250 people from a reinforced squadron withdrew safely. Upon seeing this, Captain Shuitian was so angry that he vomited blood. From then on, he never mentioned the night attack again, and at the same time, he had to be on guard against the night attack by our troops.

What happened next was that both we and the Japanese would, at regular intervals, fire a flare into the sky.

This is just like two kids fighting each other, neither of them wants to admit defeat. It is also a competition of industrial strength, as the war is fought based on logistical and industrial production capacity.

The night passed like this without any fighting taking place. Both the enemy and us seized every opportunity to rest so that we could have better energy to deal with the brutal fighting tomorrow.

The next morning, early in the morning, the cooks in the rear delivered canned meat stewed with vermicelli to the troops at the front. There was plenty of it, as well as porridge made from rice flowers. The food was pretty good.

The Japanese were also having breakfast, but their food was not that good. They just had two rice balls and a small smoked fish. As for canned meat, that was a treat only for field troops. In garrison troops, basically only officers above the rank of second lieutenant were qualified to eat it.

There is no way. It is too difficult to eat meat now. If it were not for the large number of animals appearing in our base every day, and the artificial breeding of various livestock and poultry, we actually could not afford such a large-scale consumption of meat.

Wars are fought with logistics. This is a true saying no matter where or which army it is.

Take the New Second Regiment as an example. Yesterday at noon, in the evening and this morning, the soldiers ate wartime meals. In total, they consumed 12,000 cans of food, 5,000 compressed biscuits, about 1,000 kilograms of dry sweet potato flour, and 100 kilograms of rice. If added together, it is at least more than ten tons.

If this had happened in the past, people would not even dare to think about it. Many times, even in the most intense battles, the soldiers could only eat a few sweet potatoes all day, and at most they would just drink more porridge.

As for eating meat, forget it, unless you win a battle and seize a large amount of supplies, then you can have some meat during the post-war celebration.

Of course, even if we only ate sweet potatoes for three meals, we could still fight the Japanese. But if we had enough meat buns and were full, we would definitely be more energetic. We could aim more accurately when shooting, throw grenades farther, and march faster when changing positions.

Although this change may not be significant at the beginning, in the long run it will greatly enhance the overall strength of our troops.

In the past, many of our soldiers were malnourished and very thin. Although they were taller than the Japanese, they were still no match for the enemy in bayonet fighting.

Now our soldiers can eat meat regularly, and their bodies are getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye. They can even run five kilometers with ease.

As the old saying goes: "Meat eaters are brave and fierce."

The people in the base area also became stronger because of the large number of wild animals appearing around them. If the Japanese dared to enter the village to steal things now, they could kill the invading enemies even with hoes and dung forks.

After both sides finished their breakfast, the Japanese did not rush to attack, as if they were waiting for something to arrive.

Kong Jie also guessed what the Japanese were planning. It was nothing more than a last resort, bombing the plane. After experiencing this kind of thing many times, he was used to it.

As long as our troops can withstand a wave of attacks from enemy planes, their morale will surely be boosted, and then it will be time for the decisive battle.

According to the original plan, they would have to fight for another day, but Kong Jie suddenly felt that the combat effectiveness of a regiment of the Japanese devils seemed not very good. If they delayed for another day, the Japanese devils would probably retreat back into the city. It would be better to cut the Gordian knot and end the battle quickly.

In fact, this is also due to the rapid development of the industrial strength of our base. Many front-line commanders did not engage in large-scale positional warfare with the Japanese and underestimated their own strength.

But this is a good thing. You will get used to it after fighting a few more battles. It’s not a big deal.

This was also the suggestion Kong Hao made to the leaders, and he also wrote a very long report specifically describing the current development of the base's military industry and future response measures.

The leaders also attached great importance to what the chief consultant Kong Hao proposed, which led to the battle plan for Li Yunlong and his two brothers to attack Wen County and confront a brigade and a regiment of the Japanese devils.

After all, Li Yunlong and Kong Hao have the closest relationship, and the independent regiment has the strongest equipment. As long as the arsenal develops some good things, they will be equipped first, and they can also be tested through this battle.

Although other troops also launched attacks, their scale was not as large as that of the other troops and they were basically controlled at the regiment level. Everyone wanted to truly understand their own strength through a large number of battle examples.

Kong Jie ordered the anti-aircraft company to enter the scene. A large number of bonfires were placed in various places on the position, next to which were a large number of raw branches soaked in water and a small bucket of refined kerosene. This was a routine operation.

At the same time, the corresponding smoke bombs are also ready, and the locations are specially calculated by professionals, which has become standardized.

Kong Hao has always been worried about those annoying stingy Japanese devils who would shit on our positions at any time, and we have no good way to prevent them.

Establishing an air force is not something that can be rushed, and it is difficult to achieve significant results in a short period of time. Mass production of anti-aircraft machine guns can only play a role in driving away and reducing the damage caused by enemy aircraft, and it also takes a lot of time to train air defense forces.

It is impossible for our troops to always engage in small-scale ambushes. They must always fight positional warfare face to face with the enemy. This is a process that an army must go through in order to grow.

Air defense operations are of utmost priority, so Kong Haocai set up a special air defense weapons research team to study how troops, especially front-line regimental combat units, conduct air defense operations.

As for the infantry battalion, it is not that urgent for the time being. The Japanese army only has so many planes. For battles below the battalion level, the enemy is probably reluctant to send out planes. After all, aviation gasoline is very expensive, and it costs a lot of money to send out any plane.

The research team includes mathematicians, physicists, and college students who are proficient in statistics. They specifically study how many smoke bombs and smoking fires to use for different terrains, and how often to replace them.

These are very professional things that require highly educated people to go through a lot of calculations to obtain. They are completely different from the spontaneous actions of our previous soldiers.
