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

Although this situation did not directly kill many enemies, the effect was very great. Because various military supplies were not delivered to the front line in time, many Japanese troops had no ability to fight back against our attack and could only be beaten back step by step.

In the past, they would launch large-scale attacks at any time, but now due to the problem of supplies, if they want to bully us as recklessly as before with sufficient ammunition, they can forget about it. They even have to consider using the insufficient ammunition in their hands to resist the attacks of our troops.

However, water transportation is indeed a troublesome issue. After all, our navy can only be a decoration at present. It is connected to the rivers and lakes. We have no weapons to attack the enemy ships, not even a small 25-ton gunboat.

In response to this situation, the leaders put forward their requirements, and the rest was left to the technical engineers of the industrial zone. After much deliberation, they finally chose mines, a weapon that the industrial zone could mass-produce and could achieve a large-scale victory with a small effort.

As for the technical parameters, there is actually no big problem. It is actually similar to a landmine, except that it explodes underwater. Of course, Kong Hao also provided some ideas.

The task of this team is to bring the new mines to Donghu Lake, and with the cooperation of the local guerrillas, test them on the Japanese armored gunboats to see what the specific effects are.

There are also two technicians accompanying us, who will record all parameters in detail to provide a basis for future technical improvements.

The mines we produce now are still aimed at the enemy's small ships, such as patrol boats, gunboats, etc. After the technology accumulates to a certain level, we can develop more advanced weapons against the enemy's inland fleet.

By that time, we can use some mines to block the enemy's waterway, which will effectively weaken the enemy's war potential and add a heavy weight to the scale of our victory.

This time, the small team disguised themselves as a caravan. After a period of marching, with the support of various troops, they successfully arrived at Pinghu.

According to the agreement, they will meet the guerrillas who come to support them in a village not far ahead, and then be taken to a safe place by their comrades to hide before carrying out the next plan.

The Japanese are very powerful in this area, unlike Shanxi Province, where our bases are everywhere. In the surrounding counties, we only have one military sub-district and two main force regiments, and we do not have the strength to fight the enemy head-on.

After all, this is a major transportation route with a very important strategic location, which concerns the safety of the Japanese front-line troops. The enemy often organizes large-scale forces to try to encircle our main forces, and if that doesn't work, they will try to squeeze our main forces out of this area.

In the past, our nearby troops would have faced great trouble when facing this move of the enemy, but now it is completely different.

Based on the situation here, our logistics department dispatched a large number of transport teams, which transported weapons and equipment produced in the base's industrial zone in small batches, mainly bullets, grenades, and a large number of mines, etc.

Especially in terms of bullets, they can basically meet the needs of the troops. Even if all the bullets are used up, they can be replenished in a short time, so it will not affect the troops' subsequent continuous combat capability.

The military sub-district commander and political commissar here also formed a large number of armed work teams and guerrillas according to the needs of the battlefield situation, and tied down a large number of the Japanese devils' active forces.

Captain Shi's water guerrilla team is relatively large in scale. Ordinary guerrilla teams have only a dozen or twenty people, equipped with four or five Mauser pistols, and the rest are rifles, grenades, mines, etc. They specialize in ambushing the Japanese's transportation and looking for opportunities to ambush the enemy.

Although most of the time, the results achieved by a guerrilla force were very limited, such as blowing up one or two trucks, killing two or three Japanese soldiers or a dozen puppet soldiers, but over time, it is entirely possible to accumulate small results into large ones, making the Japanese high-ranking officials feel terrified after seeing the casualty figures.

"Hello, Captain Hu, we are under orders from our superiors to assist you in all operations in Pinghu."

"Comrades, you have worked hard on the journey. Let's go to our guerrilla base later. The instructor has prepared a delicious meal to welcome you all."

"Thank you, Captain Shi. We'll obey your orders and experience the local specialties. It's a good opportunity for us to try some of the local specialties. You may not know that we've been eating compressed biscuits and canned food all the way here. We almost vomited after eating so much. It's time to change our taste."

When Captain Shi heard this, he immediately showed an expression that it was just as he expected. At the same time, he kept sighing in his heart: After all, he is someone from the headquarters. The logistics support is so arrogant. He eats delicious canned food until he vomits.

However, the guerrillas treated those dozen or so cans as treasures. More than a hundred people could only take out two or three cans every two days to eat with wild vegetables. Each person could only get a piece of meat as big as the nail of his little finger, which was considered a bit of meat.

Even so, every time they have canned food to eat, it is the happiest time for the team members.

There is no way. This place is too far away from the base's industrial zone, and the limited transportation capacity is basically used to transport guns and ammunition, or military uniforms, bedding, helmets, and military supplies such as military canteens.

Canned food is delicious, but it is not an urgently needed item. Even if the soldiers cannot eat it, it will not have much impact. After all, they are guarding such a large lake and there are plenty of fish.

Basically, about 50,000 cans of food were transported here, and half of them were left as reserve supplies. By the time they were distributed to the water guerrillas, there were basically only 300 to 400 cans left, mainly to improve the food. Eating fish every day is not a big deal.

At this time, Captain Shi was secretly glad that he had thought of this in advance, otherwise using canned meat to entertain the comrades in the squad would probably cause a lot of jokes.

After the main force returned to the base, Instructor Zhou ordered people to bring out a large amount of food made from fresh fish and meat to entertain the members of the small team.

Seeing the fish and meat filling the table, Captain Hu and the others immediately started to salivate. However, he was also a man with good eyesight, so he quickly ordered people to bring down eight boxes of canned food from the convoy, and then politely said:

"Captain Shi, Instructor Zhou, thank you so much for your hospitality. Honestly, we've been on the road all this time and haven't had a chance to have a hot meal. And you've prepared so much fish, so we're really sorry."

"By the way, we also brought a lot of canned food, half of it is chicken and half of it is pork. They are all raised in the industrial zone. They taste pretty good. You can try them too."
