Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

This time, Kong Jie can be said to have risked everything he had, almost putting all his family assets at risk.

The distance between the New Second Regiment and Heiyun Village is not short. Kong Jie's pre-war mobilization completely inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers. They only rested and adjusted twice on the way, and arrived at the foot of Heiyun Village at around three o'clock in the morning.

When Lin Qiang, who was at the Xiaowangzhuang position, heard the news, he immediately put down everything he was doing and went to meet them.

When the two met again, Kong Jie hugged Lin Qiang excitedly.

"I heard that you've made a lot of money recently, why don't you think of joining me?"

Lin Qiang was overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm. After they separated, he said, "To be honest, I did make a small fortune, but it wasn't much, so I didn't dare to bother you, Captain Kong."

"Shit!"

Kong Jie cursed with a laugh, saying, "Do you think I'm easy to fool? Those pheasant necks are right there!"

"Honestly, if you need any benefits in the future, you should invite me along. Don't ask for too much, just give me 30%!"

Lin Qiang agreed immediately: "No problem, I will tell you if I really want to take any action in the future."

To put it bluntly, it's all in vain.

The current situation of the first row is stable development. The arsenal operates in 20-hour shifts. Howitzers are being manufactured, and other guns and ammunition are also being produced continuously.

Lin Qiang really didn't think much of the stuff in the hands of the devils. Only the infantry guns and pheasant necks were acceptable.

After chatting for a while, Kong Jie got straight to the point and said, "Brother Lin, on the way here, I thought of several ways to fight positional warfare. Given the terrain here, I think we can stretch the battle line and form a fan-shaped semi-encirclement. Once the Japanese enter the attack range, we can launch an attack from three sides at the same time. If we put two more companies in the gap, the Japanese will have nowhere to hide!"

Kong Jie was an old revolutionary soldier and a capable combat commander. Even without knowing the complete terrain of Xiaowangzhuang, he was able to quickly come up with a plan to fight the enemy.

Xiaowangzhuang has become its current defensive position after Lin Qiang's continuous improvements, and Kong Jie's plan is also very suitable for the terrain here.

but!

It is only because of the team's insufficient firepower that such a detailed and precise battle plan is needed.

Lin Qiang didn't tell Kong Jie about his plan, nor did he agree with what he said. Instead, he asked him to rest for a while. "Captain Kong, the Japanese won't arrive until noon at the earliest. There are still several hours left. You and the soldiers have been exhausted from traveling so fast. You should rest and recover first."

Kong Jie waved his hand and said, "No need. Tell me your plan. If we can't agree, we can find a compromise."

"Captain Kong, let's let the soldiers rest for a while!"

Lin Qiang looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "In three hours, you will know my plan."

Seeing Lin Qiang's confidence, Kong Jie didn't worry about any mistakes at all. He nodded and said, "Alright, this is your brother Lin's territory. He must be more familiar with it than me. Then I'll let the team rest first."

…………

Three hours passed in a flash.

The sky was already bright at around seven in the morning, the fog slowly dissipated, and the soldiers of the New Second Regiment sat around the fire to keep warm.

The air in the morning is very fresh, but the temperature is also low.

Unlike the soldiers in the first row who were all wearing cotton clothes, the thin clothes on the soldiers of the New Second Regiment could not withstand the morning cold.

The soldiers had to wrap their clothes tightly and keep blowing air into their palms to warm them.

No one rested at the Xiaowangzhuang position last night, and the kitchen teams of several teams in the base did not rest either.

On this cold morning, eating a hot steamed bun is a very happy thing.

Zhao Dezhu, who was in charge of this work, kept urging the team to rush to Xiaowangzhuang and make sure that all the soldiers had a hot breakfast before the Japanese arrived.

Because he didn't know how many people would never be able to eat again...

The troops of the New Second Regiment gathered together, and the soldiers poured out the march rations they carried from their ration bags, and drank them with the help of cold mountain spring water or preserved fruits.

Some soldiers had eaten all their food, or their dry food bags were empty, so the squad leader or soldiers with older service would share some with them to ensure that everyone had something to eat.

At this time, a team of people delivering breakfast arrived, with three horse-drawn carriages carrying steamed buns and porridge.

Zhao Dezhu covered his breakfast tightly, fearing that it would get cold before he reached the battlefield.

Each team lined up in an orderly manner to eat. When the steamed buns were revealed, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment looked envious.

The heat emitted by the steamed buns is particularly noticeable in the cold morning.

Just as the soldiers of the New Second Regiment were envious, two more donkey carts drove over quickly. The soldiers thought that they were delivering breakfast to the first platoon, but they found that the donkey carts were coming towards them.

At this time, Lin Qiang and Kong Jie also came to the place where the New Second Regiment was resting. When they saw the donkey cart coming, Kong Jie understood what was going on.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Qiang stopped him with his hand: "Captain Kong, if you want to say something to thank you, you might as well kill a few more devils later!"

"you……"

At this moment, Kong Jie felt mixed emotions, but he was more grateful to Lin Qiang.

He was not dissatisfied with the differences between the two teams, nor did he think that it was his incompetence that caused the team to not have a good meal.

Kong Jie walked slowly to the donkey cart and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, listen carefully! When the battle starts, kill as many devils as possible!"

Taking a bite of the hot steamed bun and drinking a mouthful of the still hot porridge, I wouldn't trade it for fifty bullets.

This is the advantage of fighting at home, logistical supplies can be delivered at the fastest speed at any time.

If the battle ends early, I can still get back in time for dinner.

The observation post at the front line would report the current situation of the Japanese every once in a while. After breakfast, the Japanese were still about two hours away from Xiaowangzhuang.

Kong Jie got the news and found Lin Qiang and said, "Brother Lin, is it time to tell me your battle plan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Jie added, "I've put everything on the line in this battle. If I don't fight well enough, not only will the brigade commander fire me, but I won't even be able to lead this team anymore!"

Hearing this, Lin Qiang just asked Kong Jie to calm down: "Captain Kong, please follow me."

Kong Jie followed Lin Qiang's steps in confusion.

The two men came to the open space in front of the position. Lin Qiang stopped and turned around, pointing to the top of the mountain behind the position and said, "Captain Kong, use your telescope to see what's up there."

Kong Jie raised his telescope and looked at it in confusion.

then……

"Oh my God!"

"Everyone knows you've made a fortune, but I didn't expect you to have a whole artillery regiment!"

Kong Jie put down the telescope, still a little shocked, and asked, "What kind of cannons are those? Why haven't I seen them before?"

"None of that matters."

Lin Qiang smiled and said, "Captain Kong, this is how we have to fight this battle..."

After hearing Lin Qiang's plan, Kong Jie opened his mouth for a long time before coming to his senses.

"You mean, you have to bomb the Japs as soon as they show up?"

In fact, Kong Jie didn't really listen to Lin Qiang's second sentence. Only four words kept echoing in his mind:

"Bombs plow the ground!"
