Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

Generally speaking, in order to increase the scale of production, the most common method is to increase manpower and recruit more workers. However, this method is particularly difficult and almost impossible to implement in the context of the liberated areas.

Considering the special nature of drones, confidentiality is of vital importance. If both sides have self-destructive drones, it will undoubtedly narrow the performance gap between the two sides' weapons. Because even if we liberate the area, there is no good way to deal with such drones.

Therefore, during the production process of drones, we cannot recruit workers in a high-profile manner to avoid leaking secrets and causing unnecessary trouble.

However, the efficiency of existing production lines is not satisfactory and the production speed is far from meeting the demand.

What's even more troublesome is that the liberated areas are heavily blockaded on all sides by the enemy, resulting in an extremely limited supply of raw materials, which undoubtedly brings greater pressure to the production of drones.

Faced with these problems, the headquarters was also overwhelmed.

They knew very well that this self-destruct machine was developed by us ourselves and did not come from Li Yunlong's system, so the production capacity problem could not be solved through system exchange.

However, the Sixth Division had already entered the Beast Extermination Valley and used the terrain to build strong fortifications, that is, various underground caves. These fortifications were extremely strong and could withstand four or five bombardments of 155mm shells.

The most advantageous defensive fortification against our army is the underground cave. Even reinforced concrete bunkers cannot compare with it!

The headquarters knew that it would be almost impossible to destroy these fortifications through traditional artillery bombardment.

What's more, the Japanese had a large production of anti-tank mines, and after losing all their own tanks, they would naturally lay anti-tank mines and various other mines.

If people enter, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The self-destructing machine has a unique advantage. It can accurately aim at the hole and explode deep inside the fortifications. Although the amount of explosives is limited and cannot completely destroy the fortifications, it can cause great damage to the Japanese inside the fortifications.

Moreover, it flies in the air and can ignore the mines buried in the ground.

Precisely because of the important role of suicide bombers in combat, the headquarters is very worried about the production capacity of drones.

They were worried that they would not be able to increase production capacity quickly enough to effectively destroy the Sixth Division. As long as the Sixth Division still existed, the enemy reinforcements would continue to intensify their offensive, posing a greater threat to our liberated areas.

Therefore, the headquarters decided to contact Li Yunlong and ordered him to abandon the plan to encircle and annihilate the Sixth Division and immediately organize the troops to retreat.

The headquarters believes that although this is a difficult and regrettable decision, under the current circumstances, in order to preserve strength and avoid greater losses, this is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

If the current number of suicide bombers is far from meeting the demand, and at the same time there is an urgent need to quickly eliminate the remaining enemies, then it seems that the only feasible option before us is to send infantry units deep into the dangerous Beast-killing Valley.

They must bravely explore the hidden caves one by one, engage in close combat with the enemies hiding in them, and eliminate these stubborn remnants with absolute determination and courage.

Looking back to the difficult years when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had just broken out, our soldiers had chosen to fight the enemy head-on with great determination.

At that time, even if it took the sacrifice of two soldiers' lives to eliminate one devil, it was a major victory for the brave soldiers and was worthy of pride and honor.

However, time flies, and the situation of war has changed dramatically. Today, we can no longer view this battle from the simple one-for-one perspective of the past.

Now, our army's weapons and equipment have been greatly improved and are far superior to those of the enemy back then.

If we continue to sacrifice one of our soldiers just to destroy an enemy as we did in the past, it would undoubtedly be an extreme waste, and it can even be said to be a strategic mistake and irresponsible to life!

Today, when we have advanced weapons and equipment, we must use these resources more wisely to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost.

Captain Ding did have a backup plan, which was to send infantry into the Beast Killing Valley. But this was a plan that would only be adopted as a last resort.

It would be better to reduce casualties, and even better would be to have zero casualties.

Fan Yingming was determined to continue fighting. After all, as a military leader, he needed to have a clear understanding of all possible situations on the battlefield.

Therefore, he naturally had to ask Ding Wei about the latest battle situation and supply conditions.

After learning about the severe shortage of the self-destruct machine's production capacity, Li Yunlong frowned, as if a heavy mountain was pressing on his heart.

He paced back and forth in the room, thinking about various possible solutions, trying to find a way out of the predicament.

Suddenly, Li Yunlong stopped, a determined light flashed in his eyes, he picked up the phone without hesitation and dialed the number of the headquarters.

"Commander, I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the independent brigade!" His voice was firm and powerful, revealing an indomitable spirit.

The voice of the deputy chief of general staff came from the other end of the phone: "Yunlong, it's me. How is it? Have you figured it out? Are you ready to withdraw? Let me tell you, there are four to five enemy divisions facing you, and you only have one regiment. It's not shameful to withdraw!"

Li Yunlong took a deep breath and replied, "Hello, Chief of Staff! As I said before, the First Regiment is under the charge of Commander Fan, and I can't make the decision. But I am calling this time to solve the problem of the production capacity of the self-destruct machine."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff was silent for a while, seemingly thinking about this question.

After a while, he said, "Let me tell you, if we can increase the production capacity of the suicide bombers and resolve the dilemma, we won't have to retreat. Not only will we not have to retreat, we can also defeat these Japanese divisions head-on."

Li Yunlong nodded and continued, "Chief of Staff, I think we can solve this problem from two aspects. First, the production of drones requires workers to continue to work overtime and try to increase production. After all, drones are not only needed by our 16th Regiment, but also by the entire independent brigade to enhance combat effectiveness."

The deputy chief of general staff frowned and said unhappily, "Do I need you to tell me that? I thought you had some clever ideas! The workers on the drone production line are already working 20 hours a day. How much potential can be tapped if they work overtime?"

Li Yunlong did not refute, but continued: "On the other hand, when we passed by Xinxiang, we found a Japanese ammunition depot with some poison gas bombs. I think we can use these poison gas bombs to deal with the enemy."

When the Deputy Chief of General Staff heard this, he immediately understood Li Yunlong's intention.

He pondered for a while and said, "The mountains on both sides of the Beast Extermination Valley are steep, there is basically no wind in the valley, and it is rarely visited by people. Using poison gas bombs in such terrain can indeed exert the greatest power and will not cause harm to our own soldiers and civilians. However, if we do this, there may be some pressure from public opinion."

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, I have thought of this as well. However, those poison gas bombs were originally made by the Japanese pirates to be used against our Chinese soldiers and civilians.

Are we just going to passively take the beating and watch them use these vicious weapons? I think we should fight back with an eye for an eye! Let the Japanese pirates also have a taste of the poison gas bombs they made themselves! "

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, the Deputy Chief of General Staff was silent for a moment and looked at the CEOs with an inquiring look.

After receiving a positive reply, the Deputy Chief of General Staff sighed and said, "Okay, since you have already thought of a countermeasure, let's execute it according to your plan. However, we must pay attention to safety and not let our soldiers suffer unnecessary harm. Control the dosage and do not cause long-term environmental pollution."

"Understood!" Li Yunlong hung up the phone happily.
