Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#105 - Kill back

"Hehe! Old Brother Ren, your rocket launcher is really effective. Can you think of more ways to make more of them quickly?" Li Yunlong, seeing that the situation was settled, lay on the grave, raised his binoculars to continue observing the battle, and said relaxedly to Ren Zhong.

"Old Li, this thing is not like a mortar. Gao Kaiming and the others have a foundation, so they can just look at the drawings and build it. I can use this thing, but I'm not familiar with the principles and manufacturing aspects. I'll do my best, I'll do my best," Ren Zhong said with a wry smile.

Is it that I don't want to speed it up?

It's just that I really don't know much about it. The more modern the weapon, the less detailed the information he can find now.

The general structural diagrams and principle diagrams can of course be found, but it is not easy to turn these into actual products.

Even for a product like the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, which is less difficult than the RPG, Ren Zhong wants Zhao Lidong to first conduct simulation research to figure out the manufacturing process of most of the parts.

RPG rockets do not have such prerequisites.

But then again, this thing is really effective for attacking Japanese strongholds. For attacks like breaching walls, it can be done from five or six hundred meters away. For the gunners, the danger is greatly reduced.

This thing can fire up to nearly 1 kilometer, and most of the Japanese strongholds are within its range!

Compared to the flying thunder cannon, the efficiency of breaching Japanese strongholds has been improved to a new level. Ren Zhong is even thinking about whether to go to Dala Town again to see if he can get another batch.

While Li Yunlong and the others were chatting easily about their future aspirations, on the other side, the first company commander led a large team into the prisoner-of-war camp, first found the prison cells where the prisoners were held, and rescued the captured warriors. The following battle was no suspense.

Although the Japanese special forces were fearless and launched an attack on the main force of the first company, they did not expect that the first company had so many light machine guns. Relying on their experience, they wanted to use their firepower advantage to break through the encirclement of the first company.

But they did not expect that waiting for them were more intense firepower from more than a dozen machine guns. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers were almost killed in one encounter. Wei Dayong, who had been blocked in the room by the Japanese soldiers, seized the opportunity to rush out and launched a pincer attack on the Japanese soldiers. The once invincible Japanese special forces were almost completely annihilated without causing any waves!

This time, not a single Japanese prisoner was taken!

In this small prisoner-of-war camp, the spoils were unusually rich. More than two hundred prisoners plus more than seventy Japanese soldiers, they stored nearly a month's worth of food. According to the prisoners' ration of half a catty of life-sustaining grain and the Japanese soldiers' ration of one and a half catties, Li Yunlong and the others seized more than 6,000 catties of grain and 1,000 cans of meat!

This was specially requested by Yamamoto Kazuki for the special forces team. After all, their training intensity was very high, and the supply of meat was much higher than that of ordinary Japanese soldiers.

As for the 4 captured crooked-neck machine guns and more than 40 Type 38 rifles, as well as fifteen MP submachine guns, they are not considered anything to the Independent Regiment now.

After all, the Independent Regiment is now starting to mass-produce the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

But this batch of grain is of great significance to the Independent Regiment. Now is the time when the old and new crops are not yet available. The base area originally does not have enough food to eat, and it is very difficult to import food from the outside. Even a person like Ren Zhong has the same coarse grain ration as everyone else in the Independent Regiment, half a catty, and the rest are wild vegetables and the like.

It's not that the Independent Regiment lacks the food for Ren Zhong alone. This is Ren Zhong's own request. He knows that in the Eighth Route Army, officers and soldiers are the same. In this difficult time, even the leaders eat almost the same, except for the wounded, no one can be special.

These thousands of catties of grain and the captured cans of meat are very precious.

Li Yunlong did not expect that this battle would be so fruitful.

But in this way, the original mode of avoiding the Japanese and traveling by night is a bit difficult to handle.

Not to mention that the number of personnel has more than doubled, how is it possible to carry so much grain over mountains and ridges?!

There are still sacks of grain weighing 50 catties each, and they cannot be separated. This requires walking dozens of miles of mountain roads.

No means of transportation can be found in this prisoner-of-war camp, relying entirely on manpower.

We can only take the main road.

"We cannot avoid the strongholds of Tangjialing and Wangkou on the way back." Li Yunlong pointed to the two Japanese strongholds lying across the road back. Among them, Wangkou is a large stronghold on the Zhengtai Highway, with a full squad of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet troops stationed there. It has a strong blockhouse, which is not the same level as the crude blockhouse in Lizhuang.

It is as high as 3 floors. In addition to the crooked-neck machine guns on the top two floors, there is also a Type 92 heavy machine gun!

Under normal circumstances, the Independent Regiment, lacking artillery for attacking strongholds, has no way to deal with this kind of stronghold and can only detour!

But now that they have the RPG rocket launcher brought by Ren Zhong, Li Yunlong, having witnessed its power, cannot help but have some thoughts in his mind.

The supplies in these blockhouses are also relatively abundant, and the harvest will be very large if they are taken down.

"I think it's feasible, but with these people, our strength is still weak. I mean to report the situation to the brigade headquarters and let our Second Battalion come to meet us. By the way, bring the flying thunder cannon and more rockets, so that even if the rocket launcher attack fails, we still have remedial measures," Kong Jie looked at the map and added.

"On both sides of the Wangkou stronghold, at least two squads of Japanese soldiers can rush to support in at most half an hour. If there is no Second Battalion to meet us, we may have some difficulty dealing with them."

The difficulty Kong Jie said is because the firepower of the First Company is unprecedentedly strong, with more than twenty machine guns as the foundation. Otherwise, according to the ordinary configuration of a company, let alone dealing with two squads, it would be difficult to even encounter one squad of Japanese soldiers.

A normal Japanese field squad must be equipped with at least 3 crooked-neck machine guns and a grenade launcher squad with 3 grenade launchers! This firepower exceeds the normal company-level firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, a Japanese soldier has 120 rounds of sufficient ammunition!

This is a world of difference compared to the Eighth Route Army, which has only a few bullets per person.

No matter what he said, it was no longer possible.
