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

However, this time he plans to put the ore in the space somewhere else. After all, the top-quality ore here is enough to last for a long time, and as our base grows bigger, more and more steel mills and iron mills are opened.

If the ore is transported from the industrial zone every time, the journey will take a long time and the consumption will be relatively high, which is indeed not cost-effective.

In the past half month, Kong Hao has specially stored millions of tons of top-quality iron ore and copper ore in space, just so that he can put more of them in other places, and then find a way to guide the prospectors to find them. He doesn't have to worry about the rest.

As long as there are enough high-quality ores in other places, our other bases can follow suit and set up some small industrial zones to produce some simple industrial products.

The higher the level of operational machinery and equipment, the greater the overall strength of our country can be. Wars are fought with logistics and industrial strength.

To make an inappropriate analogy, as long as high-quality iron ore is discovered locally, even if the people use primitive methods, they can make steel. Even if this steel cannot be used to make guns and cannons, it can be used to make hoes, shovels and sickles.

With more steel on the market, the price will naturally drop, which means that the various burdens on the people will be reduced, production efficiency will be improved, and the strength of our country will be indirectly enhanced.

At this time, a water guerrilla team was active near Donghu Lake. The captain's name was Shi. He led hundreds of soldiers and had more than 20 small fishing boats. They specifically looked for trouble with the Japanese army's grain transport team on the water.

In fact, although our guerrillas had been supplemented with some weapons by their superiors, their team of 100 people had 12 Mausoleum Regiment rifles, 26 Type 38 rifles, 22 Hanyang rifles, 3 Mauser pistols, one Czech light machine gun and one Type 99 light machine gun, and about 3,000 rounds of ammunition.

Some of these Type 38 rifles were distributed to the guerrillas by their superiors after the main force replaced them, and some were captured by the guerrillas after they killed the enemy.

The Czech light machine guns were allocated by superiors when the guerrillas were first established. At that time, there were only 29 people. The others were added after the troops won battles. There were even ordinary people who joined voluntarily by driving their own fishing boats.

In fact, the water guerrillas only attacked some wooden boats used by the enemy to transport supplies. These transport boats were only about five or six tons and were usually escorted by puppet troops or a small number of Japanese devils. They were equipped with rifles and light machine guns.

Our guerrillas take advantage of the terrain and, after obtaining relevant intelligence, will ambush in the reed marshes, catching the enemy's small-scale transport fleet off guard. If we are lucky, we can even seize several thousand kilograms of food and other supplies.

In addition to their own needs, they can also distribute some food to the surrounding people. After all, the surrounding villagers have given out everything they can to support the troops in fighting the invaders. Now that the troops have won the battle, they should compensate the people.

Of course, the guerrillas can only attack those small transport ships that are powered by manpower or sails, and those inland gunboats that are equipped with heavy machine guns or even mortars and have a displacement of up to 25 tons. Captain Shi and his men have no way to deal with the enemy.

This type of gunboat can usually carry more than 18 soldiers and more than 3.6 crew members. It is 80 meters long and meters wide. An mm mortar specially made by the Japanese is specially installed on the bow, giving it the ability to carry out long-range attacks.

Even though this small gunboat is not even cannon fodder in regular naval battles, it has the capital to run rampant in Donghu. The troops around us simply do not have the ability to threaten a gunboat of this level.

The small fishing boats used by the water guerrillas can basically only carry a few members, and it is estimated that we cannot even get close. Moreover, the speed of this type of gunboat is very fast, and even if our members attack from underwater, they cannot catch up.

However, Pinghu is an important material transportation line for the Japanese. In the words of the superiors, the water guerrillas should be like a steel nail nailed to the lake. Even if they cannot cause much damage to the enemy, they must make the enemy restless day and night, so that the Japanese will need to send a larger escort force when transporting supplies.

After all, the enemy's small gunboat is powerful, but it consumes fuel when it is running. The Japanese don't even have an oil field now, and all their fuel has to be imported.

Gasoline and diesel are both strategic resources. Consuming the enemy a little more of these things is equivalent to weakening the enemy's national strength. In the long run, the Japanese will definitely become weaker and weaker.

Moreover, blocking the Japanese's transportation lines can effectively support the main force's operations. Even if the supplies arrive at night, it is a victory.

That day, Captain Shi was discussing the next battle plan with Instructor Zhou:

"Instructor, the Japanese have become very smart these days. Every time they transport supplies, they use armored gunboats and patrol boats. This leaves us with absolutely no chance. Furthermore, the enemy has built a large number of artillery towers along the coast, hoping to trap our troops."

"We've been circling the lake for half a month and haven't found any fighter planes. If this continues, our island's food reserves will soon be gone. What should we do?"

"If you ask me, we should just pull the troops ashore. With our weapons and equipment, we can easily defeat a company of puppet troops or a dozen Japanese soldiers. It's better than just waiting here."

"I'm telling you, yesterday I saw a Japanese transport ship passing right under our noses. I really wanted to lead the team to charge and fight the enemy. Even if I die, I'll drag a Japanese soldier with me to avenge the deaths of my fellow villagers."

Instructor Zhou glanced at Captain Shi, who was a little excited. He could understand the captain's mood very well. Captain Shi's entire family was killed by the Japanese devils, and even the entire village was razed to the ground. The hatred for the Japanese devils was engraved in his heart, and this was absolutely an irreconcilable feud.

In fact, it was not just Captain Shi. He and even most of the guerrillas had the same experience.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese have killed countless of us over the years. This has forced the most gentle and hardworking Chinese people to take up the most crude weapons to resist and to protect their homes with their flesh and blood.

Even if you use your life to kill an enemy, for most ordinary people, it is a profit.

But there are many things that cannot be done impulsively, so the instructor advised earnestly: "Captain, you have forgotten what the commander told us before we left. Our water guerrillas must be like a steel nail driven into the enemy's transportation line. Even if the enemy feels no pain, even if it makes the Japanese uncomfortable, as long as our water guerrillas exist, the enemy will never be able to live comfortably."
