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

What a joke! He can now mobilize more than 10,000 troops, five times the number of the enemy, and their firepower is incredibly strong.

With this kind of strength, if reinforcements are needed, where will Chu Yunfei's face be?

Moreover, he wanted to compete with Ding Wei and Kong Jie. As for Li Yunlong, forget it; he was a prodigy, not someone like them.

At least when future generations mention this battle, Chu Yunfei and the Jin-Sui Army will leave a strong mark on it, and that is enough.

Although he didn't love money, he did love fame. Such an opportunity to be remembered for eternity is something no Chinese person could refuse.

Chief of Staff Fang continued:

"In addition, the latest battle report from our friendly forces has also come in. All transport routes from Goose City to Languan have been blocked. From this moment on, not a single bullet or grain of food will enter Languan."

"The enemy's supplies are dwindling, which is good news for us."

"By the way, to prevent the Japanese planes from coming, I also assigned an anti-aircraft company that came from the friendly forces to the heavy artillery position to ensure the safety of the artillerymen."

Chu Yunfei listened and nodded in agreement. Although the probability of this was very low according to the analysis, it was still necessary to take precautions.

In fact, the only thing that can threaten our heavy artillery positions is enemy aircraft.

Even if the Japanese soldiers at Languan were incredibly cunning, they couldn't possibly have hidden heavy artillery pieces larger than 100mm at the pass.

It should be noted that enemy regiments at the first level can only be equipped with mountain guns, and heavy howitzers are at least at the level of enemy divisions, without exception.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Yunfei said with a smile:

"Chief of staff, you keep watch here, I'm going to check on the artillery position."

In fact, this kind of battle, which relies on overwhelming force, has reduced the requirements for a commander to the bare minimum.

Let alone a top student from a military academy, anyone with a basic understanding of military affairs could handle the job.

In reality, for a battle of this caliber, having Regiment Commander Zhang lead the charge would be most appropriate.

After the heavy howitzers and heavy mortars had plowed through the positions outside the pass, they began bombarding the area deep inside the pass. Since the area was full of Japanese soldiers, they weren't worried about friendly fire when using heavy artillery.

In particular, the mountain gun and Type 92 infantry gun positions of the Japanese defenders received special attention.

They've taken such a huge advantage of us, how can we let the enemy have peace? The shells hit, creating a huge crater, and all the enemies inside disappeared.

Just as the artillery barrage was about to end, Company Commander Song received orders that the First Company, as the main attacking force, would be the first to capture the enemy's forward positions.

After returning to his company, Company Commander Song began his pre-battle pep talk:

"Brothers, people say that our Jin-Sui Army can't fight tough battles, but that's a rumor. Today, we'll show the people of Shanxi how we, the sons of Shanxi, will avenge them and repay their blood hatred!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the entire company raised their guns and shouted in unison:

"Revenge, revenge!"

"Avenge! Avenge!"

Next, they quickly reached the front line through the trenches without being attacked by any enemy. It is estimated that the Japanese defenders were stunned by the artillery fire.

At the same time, in order to increase the offensive capabilities of the front-line troops, Chu Yunfei distributed the submachine guns and pistols sent by the Independent Column.

The submachine gun is the PPSh-41, which used to be the standard weapon of our army. The industrial area of ​​the base even set up two production lines to produce a large number of submachine guns and bullets.

Ultimately, these submachine guns have mediocre performance; their main advantage lies in their cheap price and the fact that they are readily available in large quantities.

As the production of assault rifles in the base areas continued to increase, many main forces switched to assault rifles, and there were even a large number of units equipped entirely with assault rifles, which greatly reduced the demand for submachine guns.

Aside from some being handed over to second-line garrison troops and militia, the remaining submachine guns were sold to the central army and various local forces.

This time, Chu Yunfei brought the Jin-Sui Army to provide support. Li Yunlong waved his hand and allocated 800 PPSh submachine guns and 600 Black Star pistols from the warehouse.

In addition to the existing automatic firearms of the Jin-Sui Army, it can be said that they completely overwhelmed the enemy in terms of close-range firepower output.

After our own artillery extended its firing range, several signal flares for the attack were fired into the sky.

Company Commander Song immediately shouted, "Brothers, charge!"

The soldiers of the first company immediately leaped out of their positions like tigers descending from the mountain, charging towards the enemy's front lines in a skirmish formation.

Meanwhile, the remaining enemy forces on the other side had not yet reacted. The artillery fire they had just received had exceeded their expectations. It was a heavy artillery barrage, and their fortifications were completely ineffective.

It's only a distance of about 400 meters. If we charge quickly, we can reach the enemy's position in just a few minutes.

Upon seeing this, the enemy on the city wall immediately opened fire to try and stop us, but our mortar group was not to be underestimated. They immediately bombarded the enemy with shells, suppressing their firepower.

After the Jin-Sui Army soldiers jumped into the enemy's position, the Japanese defenders finally reacted and were about to pick up their Type 38 rifles to fire.

However, they were facing mostly our soldiers equipped with automatic weapons, and were wiped out without any chance to react.

After Company Commander Song jumped into the trench, he immediately shouted:

"The company, in platoons, advanced and quickly constructed positions to defend against the enemy's counterattack."

According to the previously formulated battle plan, once the enemy's outer city positions are breached, defenses should be organized on the spot to firmly grasp the positions and receive the troops that follow.

But plans never keep up with changes. After Company Commander Song led his troops to occupy the position and wiped out the remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers, they waited for half an hour but did not see any enemy counterattack troops arrive.

In fact, at the beginning of the battle, everyone overestimated the enemy and underestimated themselves.

Faced with such powerful artillery, the Japanese only had a battalion of defenders at Languan. Just that one artillery barrage wiped out a company, and adding to the casualties from yesterday, the enemy had suffered at least a third of their casualties. How could they possibly send out a counterattack force? It was pure suicide.

The Japanese are now focused on holding the city's defenses at Languan to the death, and as for the positions outside the city, they're not worried about losing them.

In fact, Chu Yunfei had seen this point, and having spent some time in the Independent Column, he was well aware of the power of this combat mode.

But his subordinates didn't understand, especially the operations staff who were responsible for formulating the battle plans; they still used the old methods to formulate the plans.

As the old saying goes, "People can't teach you everything, but you can learn something after just one lesson."
