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

This is a huge change, and it is happening slowly and quietly. It can be described by a line from a poem: "Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening everything silently."

I guess the Japanese would never dream that China's overall strength is improving every day, and not only the enemy is confused about it, but we ourselves are the same.

After all, most ordinary people could only eat meat every now and then, there was a little more rice in the pot and a lot less wild vegetables. With the same amount of money, they could buy twice as much cloth and make new clothes for their families during the holidays.

Farmers' farm tools became much cheaper, there were more jobs in cities, and students' paper and pens also became cheaper. Everything was moving in a good direction.

At this time, Kong Hao had no time to take care of these little things. He had recently received a very urgent task.

"Xiao Kong, this incident happened suddenly. We just received intelligence that an enemy gas bomb expert will be coming to Shanghai soon. The specific purpose is still unclear."

"The enemy has suffered heavy losses in various areas recently, losing a lot of territory. I think they're desperate and are using such unscrupulous weapons on a large scale in an attempt to save some face."

"Originally, we had two specially trained action teams in Shanghai, so we shouldn't have had much trouble handling this situation. However, just a few days ago, the enemy's Mei Agency, the Special High Section, and the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters in Shanghai acted like mad dogs, imposing martial law on the entire city and then conducting a city-wide manhunt."

"Although the strength of our intelligence personnel has greatly improved, we are still unable to withstand the enemy's lack of military ethics and the mobilization of field troops to participate in the siege."

"Although our action team killed more than ten times the enemy, in order to cover the retreat of other comrades, we ultimately suffered heavy losses and lost our combat capability."

"Given the critical situation in Shanghai right now, even if we dispatch two special forces teams, it probably won't be of much use. We can only dispatch our ace force, the Xingtian Special Forces, to complete this urgent and dangerous mission."

"Brigade Commander, no problem. I'll lead the team out right away. It just so happens that someone from my family is in the Shanghai Concession. I'm going to go take a look and make some contact. I'd like to see if we can teach the Japs a lesson financially."

Kong Hao actually wanted to take the team out for a walk, mainly because his current points were increasing too slowly. He personally led the team to Shanghai and took the time to give the Japanese a big treat.

After hearing this, the brigade commander quickly intervened, saying, "Xiao Kong, you don't need to do this kind of thing yourself. Just let Song Qingfeng lead the team. Your identity is too important to take risks yourself."

"Okay, Brigadier, I understand."

"By the way, the industrial zone has trained a new tank company. According to regulations, it will be incorporated into the Taiyue Military Region's direct-affiliated forces. I'll take you to see it now."

"Really? That's great! Take me there to see it."

Ever since the tanks demonstrated their prowess in attacking enemy strongholds, they have been on the mind of all the leaders. They all want to equip their own army with an armored force with terrifying attack power, which can be like a sharp knife and tear apart all the enemy's defenses at critical moments.

However, a tank cannot be of much use if it acts alone. At least a company of four to six tanks is needed. Moreover, a tank company alone cannot act. The best way is to form a mechanized combined battalion.

However, except for the guard company in this combined battalion which can be withdrawn from the troops at any time, the engineering platoon, maintenance platoon, motor transport platoon and air defense company are all branches of the military with relatively high technical content, which require long-term and large-scale professional training.

That is to say, now that our industrial strength has increased and all kinds of materials can be fully utilized, we can train many special forces on a large scale.

Take the simplest engineers as an example. This is an extremely important branch of the military, even more important than ordinary infantry. Their main responsibilities are to build roads through mountains and bridges across rivers to ensure the smooth march of large troops.

There is also the construction of defensive fortifications, including front-line command posts, artillery positions, trenches and bunkers, etc., and various tactical camouflages are also the responsibility of engineers.

In the past, when the army dug trenches, the soldiers only needed a shovel or a pickaxe, but now it is different. They often use steel bars and cement to build fortifications. Ordinary soldiers in the front-line combat troops really cannot do this kind of delicate work.

According to the leaders' estimates, each infantry regiment will need to be equipped with an engineering company as a direct-affiliated unit in the future, and the number of people to be trained will be huge.

This is still the simplest type of engineer. The same goes for air defense troops, artillery troops and car drivers.

The more technical arms a field force has, the stronger its combat capability will be. In this area, we are lagging behind and must catch up.

After the brigade commander returned to the military district headquarters, Kong Hao couldn't wait to send a long telegram to the military district and headquarters, detailing the reasons why he wanted to go to Shanghai.

First of all, the Xingtian Special Forces led by him is the pinnacle of existence. Although the instructor Song Qingfeng is capable, he can only lead the Xingtian Special Forces to perform general tasks. However, Shanghai is currently a dangerous place, and it is safer for him, the captain, to lead the team personally.

Secondly, he had to go there personally not only to kill the target, but also to severely damage the enemy's intelligence agencies in Shanghai, especially the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, a mad dog whose hands were stained with the blood of countless Chinese people. They had to be beaten so hard that they were scared, and those damn guys had to wet their pants whenever they thought of the Xingtian Special Forces.

Finally, there is another very important reason, which is to establish a large number of material storage bases in Shanghai and use the developed financial industry there to obtain a steady stream of development funds for the base.

Once this telegram was sent, the leaders at the headquarters didn't know what to say and were caught in the dilemma of having their cake and eating it too.

In the end, he could only remind Kong Hao to pay attention to safety in the call back, and if things were impossible, he would rather give up the mission to ensure his absolute personal safety.

However, this seems a bit unnecessary. Under the cover of the Xingtian Special Forces, even if the enemies in Shanghai mobilized heavy troops, they would probably not be able to withstand the full-strength attack of the special forces in full condition.

This is the reputation that the Xingtian Special Forces earned with the blood of countless enemies, not only on our side, but also on the enemy side.

What's more, the special operations equipment of the current Xingtian Special Forces has been replaced several times. Now any new equipment developed by the arsenal will be tested by the team members, and will only be given to the new special forces after being improved and perfected.

For example, flash grenades. Most of the tactics were actually summarized by the Xingtian Special Forces. There is also the latest first-generation bulletproof vest, and basically everyone in the special forces has one.
