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

After Shinozuka Yoshio took it and looked at it carefully, he immediately frowned:

"Wen County was attacked. This is one of our large logistics transfer bases. If it is lost, it will be a huge trouble."

"By the way, Mr. Matsui, can you dispatch a brigade from the 4th Division to Wen County to resolve the crisis there?"

When Matsui heard that the 4th Division was asked to send out troops, he instinctively wanted to refuse immediately. Although their 4th Division was capable of fighting, the soldiers under him were not very motivated to fight. After all, who would be willing to go out of the city to fight when they could make money easily?

"Shinozuka-kun, it's not that we don't want to mobilize troops, but the situation is very critical right now. Maybe a large force of the Eighth Route Army will be at the gates of the city in the next period of time. We have to do a good job of city defense."

"But please rest assured, as long as we, the Fourth Division, are here, we can absolutely guarantee the safety of the headquarters."

In fact, Yoshio Shinozuka had just asked casually, and the result he got now was not beyond his expectations. So he could only order the Sakai Brigade around Wenxian to go to the rescue and ensure the absolute safety of the Wenxian scene.

After all, the telegram only said that they were attacked by a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Although he was also very puzzled as to why a garrison regiment could not defeat an infantry regiment, once he dispatched a brigade of troops, it should not be a big problem.

Moreover, within half a month, his First Army would receive reinforcements from two divisions, and then it would be no problem for him to hold on to the current territory.

However, the outcome of things did not develop as he had imagined, and the Japanese paid a heavy price for it.

In fact, Brigade Commander Sakai also received a telegram requesting help from Wenxian, but the two sides were not subordinate to each other, and without the order of the First Army Headquarters, they could not send troops to rescue.

Fortunately, after Kong Jie killed the main force of Wen County’s defenders, he chose to besiege the city instead of rushing to attack it, in order to give the enemy’s reinforcements time to arrive.

When the Sakai Brigade received the telegram ordering them to send out troops, it was already afternoon. They had no choice but to set out early the next morning.

After all, this is a team of several thousand people. Even assembling them would take a lot of time. There is also an artillery battalion and various supplies. It would take at least four days to reach Wen County.

According to intelligence from the Wen County defenders, the ones attacking the city this time were only the New 2nd Regiment of the Taiyue Military Region, and there were probably some reinforcements as well. There were still 4,000 people there, including the Imperial Army, and the city's defenses were solid, so they could hold out for ten days or half a month without any major problems.

Moreover, we don't have heavy artillery, so it is extremely difficult to break through the fortified city. We don't need to worry too much in the short term.

The next morning, just as the soldiers of the Sakai Brigade were about to set off, they were suddenly stopped by a telegram. The main reason was that Yoshio Shinozuka felt that a brigade alone was a little unsafe, so he specially selected a medium tank squadron to go with them to increase the attack power of the troops.

Brigade Commander Sakai was overjoyed when he saw this. With the help of the tank squadron, the next battle would be stable, so it would not hurt to wait one more day.

On Li Yunlong's side, in addition to asking the soldiers to build fortifications, he also sent out the special operations platoon to conduct reconnaissance and set up an ambush on the route that the enemy reinforcements must take, in order to give the enemy a warning.

"Old Ding, Old Kong fought well. He defeated the Shuitian Brigade with the strength of a regiment and killed the commander of the Shuitian Brigade. He was just like me in Cangyun Territory. This time, Old Kong is also famous."

After hearing the battle report, Ding Wei was also very depressed, so he said sourly: "Old Kong has three regiments with two battalions of artillery, which is at least three times the number of artillery of a regiment of the Japanese. In addition, their light weapons are not worse than those of the Japanese, and they have sufficient ammunition after all."

"It's just that the Japanese planes are a little troublesome, but we also have a special air defense company to deal with it, so I don't think it will be a big problem."

"It would be hard to believe that he could not defeat a single enemy regiment despite having such a huge advantage."

In fact, it is no wonder that Ding Wei feels a little jealous. The main reason is that it is basically not difficult to fight this kind of battle with the wind in his favor. His new regiment can do it too, and may even fight better.

This was a battle that could achieve huge results. From now on, whenever the leaders talk about it, they will think of Kong Jie and the New Second Regiment, and his New First Regiment can only get some credit.

Li Yunlong saw that Ding Wei was a little unhappy, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Old Ding, don't worry, we will face a small Japanese brigade next, and there will be plenty of battles for you to fight."

"According to our discussion, your New 1st Regiment will also face an attack from a regiment of Japanese soldiers. You must not let us down when the time comes."

"Don't worry, Lao Li, you don't know my abilities yet, don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

The two were talking when Zhang Dabiao suddenly walked in and said loudly:

"Captain, the transport team from the industrial zone is coming again. It's Engineer Ma who's leading the team. And this time the transport seems a little strange. You should go and take a look."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei immediately became very interested. Now our arsenal can produce various mechanical equipment, and everyone can be considered worldly-wise.

Zhang Dabiao said it was a strange means of transportation, which also meant it was something that had never appeared before. And according to their experience, the stranger the things developed by the arsenal were, the better they were.

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't wait to walk out of the tent and go to the place where supplies were stored to watch the excitement.

It should be mentioned here that for the most basic light industry such as textile factories, the industrial zone is already able to mass-produce all the equipment. Currently, more than 20 textile factories of various sizes have been opened. In addition to producing military uniforms and quilt covers, they have also specially developed field tents for front-line troops to use in the field.

Although this kind of thing cannot immediately improve the strength of the troops, it is also an indispensable thing for an army and can provide great convenience to everyone.

"Mr. Ma, come here for a moment."

After hearing this, Engineer Ma hurried over and reported loudly: "Captain, we have been ordered to transport a batch of supplies, including 60 tons of cement, 3 tons of steel bars, 100,000 cans, 5,000 packs of compressed biscuits, 2,000 shells of various types, and 200,000 rounds of ammunition."

These materials are supplies and there is nothing special about them.

Li Yunlong asked curiously, "Engineer Ma, are these two types of transportation tools newly developed? The larger one is called a walking tractor. If the road conditions are good, it can carry more than one ton of cargo at a time."

Memories of my childhood in the countryside, when I wanted to have a

"This tractor has a simpler structure than a military truck, has a good cargo carrying capacity, and uses a diesel engine, so it can be considered a temporary alternative means of transportation."

"According to our research plan, it will take several months to produce qualified military truck engines. It is also good to use this hand tractor to transport supplies."
