This is also the strategy formulated by the leaders, which is to continuously consume the enemy. Even if we use a hundred mines to blow up a 3,000-ton cargo ship, it will be a huge profit for us.

Moreover, once the Japanese's material transportation is not smooth, the enemy's overall strength will be effectively reduced. In the long run, China's strength will become stronger and stronger, and the Japanese's strength will become weaker and weaker.

Once the Japanese find out that the value of what they have looted in China is not as much as what they have consumed, given Xiao Benzi's stubborn personality, they will definitely look for a way out elsewhere.

Because this unloading area can only accommodate small fishing boats of one or two tons, we can only rely on the ant-moving method to transport the supplies to the shore and hide them.

Only when they reach the shore will these supplies be safe. If they are all dispersed at that time, even if the Japanese search the entire area afterwards, they probably won't find a single hair.

According to the requirements, the ship driven by Jellyfish was the leader and had priority in unloading. In order not to expose his identity, Instructor Zhou did not recognize him.

Instructor Zhou led his men aboard to check the supplies in the cargo hold of the transport ship. Then someone shouted:

"Instructor, this boat is filled with cotton cloth, cotton yarn, and a lot of cotton."

Hearing this, everyone present was very happy. These were all good things, especially the cotton cloth, which could be used to make military uniforms. Fifty tons of cotton cloth could make at least tens of thousands of sets. They were considered rich now.

"Everyone, listen to my orders. Quickly move all the supplies off the ship."

Then, everyone worked in pairs to load the supplies on the ship onto the small boat, and then transported them to the shore by the small boat. There were also special people to assist there, and the unloading speed was still very fast.

Most of the common people gathered this time were boat operators on the lake, and they were familiar with doing this kind of thing.

The next transport ship carried mostly food, as well as a lot of canned food and compressed biscuits, and even Japanese military uniforms, water bottles, and backpacks.

Although there were no big surprises, nine hundred tons of supplies is not a small number, and if added together, it would be worth a lot of money.

The most important thing is that we have more than 900 tons of supplies, while the enemy has 900 tons less. Between the addition and subtraction, we have made a great profit.

Not to mention that the enemy also lost a gunboat and twenty cargo ships. These cargo ships, in particular, were made of wood, but it was not easy to mobilize them all at once, and our guerrillas could also use them.

As for the fact that the ship did not have the weapons and ammunition we wanted most, it was indeed a small regret. However, if the ship was really carrying munitions, we probably wouldn't be able to get them easily.

If a fight really breaks out on the ship, it will be easy to lose everything. It is safer this way. We only paid the price of two mines.

After the victory in the first battle, the superiors were also very happy. As long as there were enough mines, it would not be impossible to cut off the enemy's supplies transported by water.

The arsenal also continuously improved the mines based on the data collected from various fronts, making them more and more powerful and causing more and more damage to the enemy.

However, Kong Hao, the chief consultant of the arsenal, cannot take care of these things for the time being. Such matters can be left to professionals, and there is no need for him to be in charge and keep an eye on them all the time. At this time, he is conducting a special test in the test field in the industrial zone.

"Chief Advisor, this is the latest light tank developed by our arsenal. We referenced the T26 light tank from the Russian Empire and the Douding ultra-light tank from the Japanese Empire before finalizing the design."

"However, due to our current industrial strength, many aspects are still very immature, especially the tank's engine and protective armor. Our overall performance cannot match the T26 of the Russian Bear. According to our calculations, it is about % better. Of course, compared to the Japanese's small tank, it is much stronger."

"This tank is equipped with a 37mm tank gun with rounds of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds and high-explosive rounds. It can destroy enemy medium tanks at long range. The tank's ammunition reserve is much lower than that of similar foreign tanks, mainly to reduce the overall weight of the tank."

"To be honest, the tanks we developed were initially used primarily to cover infantry attacks against enemy fortifications. As for engaging in combat with enemy tank units, there was no chance of that happening anytime soon."

"The tactic you provided us about using tank clusters for blitzkrieg does seem powerful, but we still have a long way to go."

After hearing this, Kong Hao nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Liao, we must take one step at a time. We cannot move too fast, nor can we develop in leaps and bounds all at once. Otherwise, it will easily lead to an unstable foundation."

"We are now in a process of catching up. To be honest, being able to develop such a decent tank in such a short time has completely exceeded my expectations."

"By the way, how many of these tanks can be produced per month? How many are there now?"

Engineer Liao rubbed his head and said a little embarrassedly, "We have already started production and are undergoing relevant testing. As for production capacity, the production line we have developed can produce about 20 vehicles per month at most."

After hearing this data, Kong Hao felt that it was not bad. After all, it was a new type of weapon, so it was understandable that the production speed was slow at the beginning.

Fortunately, we have now made a breakthrough from zero to one. As long as the test is passed, we can form our own armored force.

Although we can only produce light tanks now, to be honest, with the current road conditions in China, it is difficult for light tanks to travel on most dirt roads. As for medium and heavy tanks, forget it.

Moreover, our enemies do not have many organized armored units, and large-scale tank battles rarely break out. Moreover, our troops are already equipped with 75mm mountain artillery, which is not too bad among the combat units at the regimental level.

In addition, the arsenal has successfully imitated the recoilless gun and the corresponding artillery shells. Although the output is still small, with only more than 50 guns and more than 10,000 artillery shells per month, it is enough for the main force to use.

Now the Japanese in Shanxi Province are basically no longer keen on building that kind of simple artillery tower. After all, it cost a lot of money, but in the end it was easily destroyed by our recoilless rifles. No one would do such a thankless task again.

The Japanese are now basically building large fortresses, which are composed of seven or eight bunkers, as well as moats and suspension bridges, usually with hundreds of defenders.

The enemy had suffered so many losses that they had learned their lesson. The Japanese had also figured out the performance of the recoilless guns and had taken many targeted measures when building large strongholds.
