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

After hearing this, Instructor Zhou quickly added, "It seems the Japanese are struggling on the front line. According to past practice, a fleet usually consists of about ten cargo ships. They're afraid of surprise attacks from our guerrillas. If the fleet is too large, they won't be able to defend themselves."

"In this case, we must not let the Japanese transport fleet pass. We must intercept this batch of supplies no matter what, which can also be regarded as a contribution to supporting the front line."

Technician Meng looked at a simple map of Pinghu he had recently drawn and said with a smile, "It's not a big problem. We have ten mines with us. We'll just drop two this time. That's enough to blow the Japanese ironclad ship into the water and feed it to the turtles."

"But we need to prepare the ships to transport the supplies in advance, and we also need some people who are proficient in water. The Japanese ironclad ships have a lot of good stuff on them, and we can't let them go to waste."

Instructor Zhou smiled and said, "Leave these matters to me. As long as we can sink the Japanese ironclad ships, the supplies on these twenty ships will be ours."

Next, everyone went their separate ways, made all preparations, and waited for the arrival of the Japanese fleet.

If there are twenty cargo ships, and the carrying capacity of each ship is 30-50 tons, taking an average value, it would be tons, which is almost million kilograms.

Even the least valuable food is a huge surprise for the guerrillas, enough to feed the entire guerrillas for several years.

Of course, the guerrillas will definitely not keep all of these supplies, which would be a complete waste. Basically, they will only keep enough food for half a year and some usable equipment. The rest will be handed over to their superiors.

Now other brother troops are also not well off. Although they have strong support from the logistics department, they basically only have weapons and equipment, and some basic living supplies still need to be obtained locally.

This also made everyone's life very difficult. If they could seize millions of kilograms of supplies, it would make life easier for everyone around them.

Instructor Zhou returned to the shore by boat that afternoon, gathered the village heads and militia captains of several surrounding villages, and explained the situation to everyone.

"This time we plan to ambush the Japanese transport fleet, seize the supplies on board, and relieve some of the pressure on the front-line troops, so we need everyone's help."

"After we sink the Japanese ironclad ship, we will drive the wooden transport ship to the pre-selected area. Then everyone will go to move the supplies. The danger is almost zero, so please rest assured."

At this time, Yu, the village chief of Shuinan Village, stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Instructor Zhou, what you said is a bit contemptuous."

"Fighting the devils isn't just your guerrillas' job. We are all descendants of the Chinese nation. Defending our homeland is the responsibility of every descendant of the Chinese nation. You youngsters face the devil's pursuit every day, in extreme danger, and face sacrifice every day, yet you're not afraid. We only help out occasionally. What's there to be afraid of?"

"I'm just too old to carry a gun, but using fishing boats to transport supplies is our forte. It's an honor for us to be able to contribute to the army."

Another village also said with a smile: "In fact, we have been looking forward to this day for a long time. We all know what happened in Shuinan Village a few days ago. Not only did we kill those evil people in the detective team and avenge the deaths of our fellow villagers, but we also wiped out a small group of Japanese invaders. This is really a relief."

"We have no other requests except that our troops win more battles and drive all invaders out of our land as soon as possible."

Other village heads or militia captains also spoke at once, and they all patted their chests and promised that they would fully cooperate with the guerrillas to complete the task of transporting supplies.

The Chinese people are the most simple and honest. They know very well who are their own people and who are the enemies. As long as it is about fighting the Japanese, everyone will participate enthusiastically.

In this way, time came to the third day. According to the time calculation, the Japanese transport fleet would pass by the location where we dropped mines at two o'clock in the afternoon. Success or failure depended on this.

However, the new mines produced by our arsenal are filled with high explosives, weighing more than ten pounds. As long as the Japanese armored gunboats pass over them, then with a "boom", all the battles will be over.

The members of the water guerrillas and small teams were also hiding nearby. Only after receiving orders would they lead their teams to attack and eliminate the escort personnel on the cargo ship.

Because his comrades have infiltrated the fleet, when the fighting breaks out, he will be able to coordinate inside and outside forces to completely take down the transport fleet.

Of course, the premise of all this is that our mines can successfully sink the enemy's gunboats. Otherwise, nothing can be achieved and everyone can only watch the enemy's transport fleet sail away.

Technician Meng spotted the enemy fleet through his observation equipment and immediately whispered, "We've spotted an enemy transport fleet. One ironclad warship and twenty transport ships. This matches the intelligence. Everyone, get ready."

At this time, the Japanese transport fleet had no idea about it at all. After all, mines are considered high-tech weapons, and with China's industrial strength, it is impossible to develop and produce them.

The entire East Lake only had one annoying water guerrilla force of the Eighth Route Army, which consisted of about a hundred people and didn't even have a grenade launcher. It couldn't threaten their all-steel gunboat at all.

Under the strafing of four heavy machine guns, the gunboat was not afraid at all even if it faced the siege of hundreds of small fishing boats. What's more, they also had a mortar, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.

This strength also led to the Japanese escort troops being extremely arrogant. On such a vast lake, they had no vigilance at all and drove over in such a swagger.

However, next, they had to go through a narrow waterway. For safety reasons, the Japanese used heavy machine guns to fire at the two small islands on the lake. After confirming that there was no ambush, they called on the transport ship behind to follow.

At this time, there was a middle-aged boatman in the fleet. His palms were covered with sweat. He was our comrade who infiltrated the enemy's transport fleet, codenamed Jellyfish.

His swimming ability is one of the best in the entire East Lake, which is why he was able to successfully infiltrate the enemy's transport fleet.

At this time, Jellyfish saw the Japanese gunboats firing wildly, and couldn't help but worry that his comrades would be exposed.

A few days ago, his superior Lao Mo contacted him and specifically informed him that our water guerrillas were preparing to ambush the enemy's transport ship. He could come back after completing the mission.

After hearing the good news, the jellyfish was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night. After lurking for so long, he finally completed the task assigned by his superiors.
