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

After all, the target of their three regiments is not just the Wenxian county town and a regiment of Japanese garrison troops. This is just a bait. If all the baits are killed, the big fish behind will never come again, and all previous plans will be completely in vain.

As for whether the Japanese would burn all the stockpiled supplies in desperation after escaping into the county town, this was not something Kong Jie and the other two considered.

If it were in the past, we would have tried to focus on seizing enemy supplies. After all, we had nothing at the time, and even seizing a few hundred Japanese military coats would have been considered a huge gain.

But now that foreign transportation channels have been opened, many basic supplies are no longer in short supply, and Kong Hao can also transport them through space. He already looks down on the Japanese weapons and equipment.

For example, the Japanese canned meat. Due to limited supplies, even canned beef only had a few pieces of meat. Most of the rest were black beans and the like. They were nowhere near as delicious as the big pieces of pork we eat locally.

However, if we can seize it, that would be the best. After all, our troops may not need it, but so many ordinary people across the country can always use it.

Of course, if losing these supplies could kill three or four thousand more Japanese soldiers, Li Yunlong would definitely choose to take the lives of the Japanese without hesitation.

As Kong Jie's order was given, the first battalion rushed out of the position and chased the Japanese. The other battalions were not willing to be outdone. There were not many opportunities to hit a drowning dog, and no one wanted to waste it.

Especially the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the New 2nd Regiment. Before the war, they agreed that each battalion would defend for one day, so that everyone could enjoy the battlefield. But who could have thought that a regiment of more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers was beaten to the ground by the 1st Battalion in less than a day. The rest of the people were fleeing in a panic.

At this time, all the officers and soldiers of the Second and Third Battalions were probably cursing in their hearts: "Are these little devils pigs? They are so weak that they cannot resist being beaten. Besides, even if the enemies are all pigs, we cannot catch them all in one day and one night."

Among the pursuing troops, there was a special unit that stood out the most, that was the mobile company of the New Second Regiment. The company had a total of more than 150 people, equipped with 50 bicycles and 20 human-powered tricycles. Its mobility was the strongest in the entire regiment except for the cavalry company.

I saw two people on a bicycle, one was riding in the front and the other was sitting in the back using a rifle to kill the Japanese soldiers running behind.

Once the enemy sends out its rearguard troops, if they are small in number, the convoy will stop and wait for the tricycles carrying mortars, grenade launchers and heavy machine guns to arrive from behind, and then use firepower to eliminate the enemy; if the Japanese are large in number, they will deliberately bypass them and leave these enemies to the large troops behind.

This combat mode was only proposed recently, and thanks to our current base, we are able to produce a large number of bicycles.

Basically every infantry regiment will form such a rapid reaction company. Li Yunlong's independent regiment has a battalion of rapid reaction forces, equipped with more than 600 bicycles.

The Taiyue Military Region also has a special bicycle battalion that uses the high mobility of bicycles to quickly mobilize troops, which makes it much easier to deal with emergencies. However, maintaining a cavalry battalion would be too costly and would be far less economical than bicycles.

When the soldiers of the first battalion rushed over from behind, they found the corpses of the Japanese devils all along the road. They kept complaining in their hearts, mixed with a strong sense of envy. The main reason was that no matter how fast they ran on their legs, they could not outrun the mechanical vehicles on two wheels.

In the end, after two hours of chase, only more than 700 Japanese soldiers from a regiment ran back to the county town. The one with the highest rank was Captain Shanbian. He was lucky because he was not at the battalion headquarters when we bombarded him, which allowed him to escape.

After he returned, he immediately called back all the puppet troops and ordered all the city gates to be closed, preparing to hold out and wait for help.

At the same time, he sent several urgent telegrams to his superiors with only one purpose, which was to request tactical guidance. Wenxian County was currently in danger, and if no guidance was given, everyone in the city would die.

Kong Jie only sent three battalions to surround the Japanese in Wen County. Then he ordered the second and third battalions that did not participate in the battle and all artillery units to rush to the position of the independent regiment and hand them over to Li Yunlong for command.

In fact, this is just a secondary battlefield. The main battlefield in the future will be over there. In that place, both the enemy and us will deploy tens of thousands of troops to engage in a brutal fight, which is far from comparable to the small-scale fighting near the county town.

At this time, the military district headquarters, the brigade commander and the political commissar were also waiting for the final outcome of this battle.

With the strength of a regiment fighting against a Japanese garrison regiment in the wild, the entire battle process is very instructive and can also allow the leaders to have a preliminary understanding of the real combat effectiveness of their troops.

Then, the battle report of the New Second Regiment was sent over in a timely manner. Everything was going as everyone had expected. With the support of a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, and with the same number of people, we were able to fight the enemy to a draw.

Of course, this situation is only limited to the Japanese regiment level. As for the brigade level, there is no specific data yet. We can only wait for the independent regiment and the Japanese Noda Brigade to decide the outcome.

As for other troops, their combat targets are basically battalions or regiments. Our troops are not yet capable of that kind of large-scale combat, so we can only take it step by step.

Compared to our jubilation, the First Army Headquarters was in a state of extreme tension and a bit of panic.

The main reason was that during this period our troops continuously launched large-scale attacks, which defeated the Japanese in the First Army of Shanxi Province and made them flee in disarray. We recaptured many towns occupied by the Japanese, and the actual control area of the base area was greatly increased.

This is definitely a great thing for our troops, but it is a terrible thing for Yoshio Shinozuka.

A lieutenant general who was previously assigned by the headquarters to replace him suddenly disappeared on the train, and no one saw him alive or dead.

Although he was not the one who did this, and it had nothing to do with him, whoever gained the most benefit in the end would be the most suspicious.

Therefore, during this period, a large number of investigators entered Shanxi Province to conduct investigations, which made Yoshio Shinozuka very annoyed. Moreover, such things could not be shown, otherwise he would be considered to be guilty and deliberately covering up the reality.

It was not until our army launched a large-scale offensive that the Japanese high-ranking officials withdrew all relevant investigators in order to stabilize the situation and prevent it from deteriorating, allowing Yoshio Shinozuka to command the battle with peace of mind.

This is what is known as: "A blessing in disguise."
