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

From research and development to prototypes and then to mass production, each step of developing a new aircraft requires a lot of manpower and resources. Doing it this way is simply a huge waste of resources.

The parts are completely different, which will probably drive the supporting parts factories to the brink of collapse. I heard that their army and navy even screw the screws in completely opposite directions, making it impossible for them to be interchangeable.

The Japanese army used the Type 38 rifle, while their navy used a different rifle with different calibers and ammunition. It was utterly ridiculous.

Furthermore, the Japanese army was trying to build warships, while the navy preferred to build tanks, resulting in a hodgepodge that inadvertently consumed a large amount of resources.

However, this is also a great thing for China, something that all Chinese people are happy to see happen, and they wish the enemy were in as much chaos as possible.

It was precisely because we understood these things that we devoted all our efforts to developing the air force, investing our limited resources in aircraft research and development, and using the advantage of our aircraft's performance far exceeding that of the Japanese invaders to compete with the enemy's army for air superiority in local battlefields.

Kong Hao, accompanied by several secretaries, headed to the secret research and development base. About five kilometers from the core area of ​​the base, they encountered the first checkpoint.

The guards of this pass consisted of a platoon. It was surrounded by high mountains on both sides, with only one road passing through, making it an extremely difficult place to attack and easy to defend.

At the same time, because this was the core area of ​​the base, there were countless resources, so they built a strong defensive fortification on the hillsides on both sides.

Before Kong Hao were four large bunkers, constructed using a large amount of reinforced concrete. Each bunker had a Maxim heavy machine gun and two Czech light machine guns, forming a crossfire that blocked both sides of the road.

Our arsenal has already begun mass production of new light and heavy machine guns. These light and heavy machine guns were replaced by the main forces at the front, and are examples of recycling waste.

Within well-constructed fortifications, this cumbersome weapon can fully fulfill its intended purpose.

Two sturdy defensive lines were built on the hillsides on both sides, using reinforced concrete. In the event of a battle, the soldiers would immediately enter the positions to hold their ground and await reinforcements. The positions could also accommodate a main force battalion.

We built two small armories halfway up the mountain, which contained enough military supplies to sustain a battalion's operations for half a month.

By the way, this level is also equipped with two 60mm mortars and one recoilless rifle.

Such a configuration is fully capable of withstanding the fierce attack of a Japanese field regiment. As long as it can hold out for half a day, reinforcements from the surrounding areas will arrive in an endless stream.

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario, after all, this is the core area of ​​our base, and its location is extremely remote.

If the enemy has reached this point, it means the situation has become extremely dangerous. This checkpoint can only buy time, allowing the secret base time to relocate researchers and important equipment.

The entire base was built by Kong Hao, and this checkpoint was no exception; it was basically foolproof.

At this moment, Kong Hao was sitting in the car, and the person in charge at the checkpoint, Company Commander Sun, was still seriously checking everyone's passes, not even Kong Hao's.

However, he looked extremely excited, which suggests that he must have recognized Kong Hao.

Kong Hao nodded politely, and only after confirming that there were no problems with the documents and after making a phone call to confirm that everything was in order did he allow the convoy to leave.

The call was made to a secret department that specifically tracks personnel entering and leaving the secret research and production base.

This is also to prevent the enemy from forging passes and sneaking into the base. Only after everything matches can they be allowed to pass, which can be considered a double insurance.

No one has special privileges in this regard; everything must be done according to the rules. Otherwise, the guards at the checkpoint will immediately detain everyone in the convoy.

Even Kong Hao, the founder of this base, had already reported to the secret base before setting off, and could only enter if everything matched.

The main reason is that this secret base is too important, and any negligence would be unforgivable.

After all, he comes from a special forces background, and his expertise lies in small-scale infiltration and assault. He spends his days hunting, so he can't afford to have his eyes pecked out by an eagle; that would be a huge joke.

When the base was first built, Kong Hao specially mobilized several special operations teams to conduct infiltration and assault operations in order to test its defense capabilities.

The best result was that they broke through four of the five lines of defense, and the defending troops immediately patched up the loopholes found in the exercise. It became increasingly difficult to break through with small units afterward.

Even when Song Qingfeng personally led the entire Xingtian Special Forces team in the exercise, they still failed to break through to the core area of ​​the secret base.

During the exercise, the Xingtian Special Forces were discovered, and the base garrison then mobilized two main battalions to encircle them.

Despite the Xingtian Special Forces inflicting heavy casualties on the defending forces thanks to their formidable individual skills and teamwork, the exercise command ultimately ruled them a failure.

To be honest, what special forces fear most is being surrounded by a large force. Faced with the continuous attacks of twenty mortars and ten recoilless rifles, even if the Xingtian Special Forces are highly skilled, it won't be of much use.

With a twenty-fold numerical advantage, the defending troops being familiar with all the skills of special operations, and equipped with a large number of heavy weapons, it would be difficult for them to lose.

After the exercise, during the post-battle debriefing, Song Qingfeng made an assessment of this secret base: "No special forces unit in the world can break through this level of protection."

Even now, the special forces in the entire base are studying every day how to use the existing conditions to infiltrate the base.

Once new ideas or equipment are developed, they will be brought to the base for exercises, and the leaders strongly support this.

Only in this way can the spear become sharper and the shield become stronger.

After Kong Hao's convoy left, a platoon leader at the checkpoint came over and specifically asked:

"Company Commander, what's wrong with you today? I've been here for so long, and this is the first time I've ever seen you smile at anyone. This isn't like you at all."

“I remember the last time the headquarters leaders came to inspect, the scale of the event was much larger than today’s, and I didn’t see any expression on your face. Everything was done in a very businesslike manner.”

Company Commander Sun glanced at the departing convoy, then said meaningfully:

"This is different. The person who just left was a legendary figure, someone that everyone admires."

"Forget it, you newbies wouldn't understand anyway."
