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

This was also thanks to Song Qingfeng who led the team to blow up the enemy's material storage center and, under the cover of night, opened the enemy's heavily defended city gate, allowing our large army to enter the city smoothly.

Otherwise, although we can eventually win, the number of casualties will increase greatly, and it is even possible that the casualty ratio with the enemy will be 1:1.

After all, the troops here are not as wealthy as the main force in Shanxi Province, which is close to the arsenal and industrial zone. At present, one main regiment there has a mountain artillery company, an 82mm mortar company, and a 60 mortar company dispersed to each infantry battalion. In combat at the regiment level with the enemy, they are not at all inferior.

However, there is only one mountain artillery company at the military sub-district level here. The main infantry regiment is basically equipped with Type 82 infantry guns or mm mortars as artillery support. In terms of light artillery, it can barely compete with the enemy battalion level.

This was only possible under the premise that the arsenal in Shanxi Province spared no effort to transport various artillery and artillery shells at all costs.

In the past, the arsenal mainly transported pistols, rifles and various bullets from here. Compared with artillery, these basic weapons were the most needed.

After all, transporting one 75mm mountain artillery shell is roughly equivalent to 300 rifle bullets, and the weight of a mountain artillery is roughly equivalent to more than rifles. In this way, if a mountain artillery plus a basic number of shells are transported from the arsenal in the early stage and used to transport firearms, it can almost support an infantry battalion.

In the early stage, our troops mainly relied on ambushes. An infantry battalion was much more useful than a mountain cannon, and the mountain cannon was too heavy, which was not conducive to the troops' rapid march.

However, with the opening of a large number of transportation lines, especially the transportation of many gun and bullet production lines, the troops here have basically met their needs for guns and ammunition.

Although on average each soldier only had about forty or fifty bullets, as a large number of bullet production lines were set up in major bases, especially without having to build a raw material smelting plant and directly using the smelted copper ingots, the bullet production line could be divided into several parts and finally assembled in a safer place.

The advantage of doing this is that there is no need to concentrate the entire production line and supporting facilities in one place. If that happens, the target will be too large and it will be easy to be targeted by the enemy's large forces.

Although the production efficiency is slightly lower, the safety is greatly improved. Even if it cannot withstand the enemy's large-scale offensive, only a part of the production line will be lost, such as the processing plant for cutting bullets.

To be honest, for a small factory with only a few or a dozen processing machines, it is easy for the industrial zone of Shanxi Province to produce three or four hundred units a month, which can effectively support the military production in the bases of other provinces.

Light weapons can temporarily meet the needs of the troops, but we must definitely get more heavy firepower to enhance the offensive capabilities of the troops.

The reason for launching this battle is not only to destroy the enemy's vitality and expand our base, but also to open up a very important transportation line.

This place is quite terrible, as it blocks the main road that we use to transport supplies from Shanxi Province. Before it is opened up, our supplies can only be broken up into small pieces and bypass this area after arriving at this place.

Doing this not only makes the journey much longer, but most of the detours are mountain roads, which brings great inconvenience to the flow of our supplies.

In the past, we would send small forces to capture some of the enemy's artillery towers and strongholds on the transportation routes, but this was only a temporary solution. Even if we destroyed more strongholds, the enemy would rebuild them in a very short time, and we would have no choice but to force the enemy into an endless tug-of-war.

In the end, after obtaining the equipment of a mountain artillery battalion, the military district here decisively launched this battle, and the results seem to be quite brilliant so far.

As soon as the situation here was settled, a large amount of supplies were transported in, including an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, a mountain artillery battalion, and thousands of tons of reinforced concrete. These were used to strengthen the defense of this area and prevent enemy counterattacks.

After finishing the work here, Song Qingfeng led the large army to leave the area and march quickly towards the agreed destination.

A few days later, all members of the Xingtian Special Forces arrived at the assembly point on time and reunited with the captain and his team.

Kong Hao was originally a lively person. When he thought about carrying out a mission with his brothers again, he couldn't help but smile and said:

"Comrades, long time no see, I missed you so much."

For a moment, the scene was very lively. Some serious team members who didn't like to joke just stood aside, looking at their beloved captain with a smile.

Some lively team members said in an extremely exaggerated tone: "Captain, we thought you were so busy with the industrial zone that you forgot about us. Actually, we were the first to follow you."

"Yes, Captain. Although the Arsenal is important, our side is also important. Without you, no matter what operation we carry out, our hearts always feel empty."

"That's right, Captain. When we were carrying out missions with you before, all we had to do was follow your orders. We didn't have to worry about anything else. It's not like now, where every mission has to be planned out in detail in advance. Even if the target is a rabbit, we have to follow the same plan as if we were shooting an eagle. Although most of the plans and contingency plans are never used, we still follow the process you laid out, fearing any mistakes."

Kong Hao just smiled after hearing about this matter. He knew the actual situation very well.

Without him as the captain who uses practical plug-ins, the Xingtian Special Forces Team can only exert 60% of its combat power, which is only slightly stronger than an ordinary special forces team.

For example, there are several 120mm mortars used to bombard enemy airports in Kong Hao's space, and even 160mm mortars and 105mm howitzers are available. With this level of firepower, the special forces' mission will be much simpler.

Otherwise, a 120mm mortar weighs 15 kilograms, and each shell can reach 50 kilograms. The Xingtian Special Forces has a total of more than people, and it is impossible to carry such a big guy on a long-distance march.

"Comrades, this time we have received orders from our superiors to go to Shanghai to carry out a mission. We need to travel light and reach our destination quickly."

"So, apart from three days' worth of dry rations, each team member should only carry one-third of their ammunition. The rest will be kept here. I've already stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition in Shanghai, so we don't have to carry them all the way over."

"For the rest of the journey, we need to pass through many enemy checkpoints. Please put the transport motorcycles here so that we can travel light and quickly."
