Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed

"Yeah, I forgot." Duan Zhenguo scratched his head with a look of annoyance on his face. In response to Duan Liguo's complaints, he secretly cursed himself for being so stupid.

How could I be so confused that I forgot that my eldest brother has never killed even a chicken. His kind and gentle nature has been engraved in his bones since he was a child.

"But it was such a great pleasure to do this." Duan Zhenguo couldn't help but clench his fists as he spoke. His eyes revealed an irrepressible excitement, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, as if his thoughts had returned to the moment when he learned how those Japanese prisoners of war were dealt with.

Originally, he had always been very curious and was wondering how to deal with these vicious Japanese prisoners of war.

After all, the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese army on this land are too numerous to list, and we must make sure they get the punishment they deserve.

He didn't expect it to be handled like this. When he learned the truth, he was really surprised.

It not only relieved his hatred, but also made him feel very happy.

This feeling is so addictive!
"Okay, few people know about this matter now, so don't talk nonsense." Duan Liguo frowned slightly and reminded him seriously. He stared at Duan Zhenguo with a trace of worry in his eyes, as if he was afraid that this secret would be leaked from Duan Zhenguo's mouth, which would lead to some unpredictable consequences.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who talks too much." Duan Zhenguo patted his chest hard, and his chest made a "bang bang" sound, as if to add some strength to his assurance. His eyes were full of determination and sincerity, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, trying to make Duan Liguo completely relieved.

"By the way, brother, why are you here this time?" Duan Zhenguo changed the subject and asked Duan Liguo the reason for his visit with curiosity in his eyes.

Hearing this, Duan Liguo immediately said with a bitter face: "Are you still going to build some coastal defense artillery? Let me come over and see how to build it."

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly, his face showing a look of exhaustion from the task.

Ever since he planned to take over the Strait of Malacca, Cun Yunsheng had been thinking that it was necessary to build coastal defense artillery in this place.

After all, this thing is a good thing to deal with warships. Once the coastal defense guns are set up on the coastline, they are like majestic steel beasts, staring at the sea level with eager eyes.

They possess powerful firepower and can launch fierce attacks on incoming warships from a long distance, dealing a heavy blow to the enemy.

As long as there are coastal defense artillery and fighter planes, it will be basically impossible for the Japanese army to retake this place.

Fighter planes can first conduct reconnaissance and harassment on Japanese warships to disrupt the enemy's deployment, and then the coastal defense artillery can find the right time to give the enemy a fatal blow.

In this way, the two complemented each other and formed an indestructible line of defense, forcing the Japanese army to face this iron wall of defense and sigh in despair, unable to retake the strategic location of the Strait of Malacca.

"Well, the coastal defense artillery does need to be repaired. The Japanese army is indeed very cunning." Duan Zhenguo frowned and said seriously.

There was a hint of resentment in his eyes, and the sinister and cunning actions of the Japanese army emerged in his mind.

"They actually destroyed all the coastal defense artillery originally built by the British Army. Their purpose was to not let us stay." He clenched his fists, his joints turned slightly white due to the force, and he was extremely angry at the Japanese army's unscrupulous approach.

Those coastal defense guns were an important part of the British army's defense system and played a vital role in the strategic layout of this sea area.

The Japanese army was well aware of their value, and in order to prevent them from using these ready-made defensive forces, they destroyed them all without hesitation, which undoubtedly brought great difficulties to the subsequent defensive work.

So Duan Liguo was transferred here for the purpose of building coastal defense artillery positions.

"Well, I know, but I don't really understand how to build coastal defense artillery." Duan Liguo scratched his head helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.

This was what really gave him a headache; he really didn't know how to build it.

In his knowledge system, he was good at building roads, but he was naturally a little confused about the specific construction of coastal defense artillery.

He also knew the importance of coastal defense artillery. It was like a lighthouse at sea. It could provide a safe harbor for one's own fleet and was also a powerful weapon to deter the enemy. However, he still had to slowly figure out how to build this lighthouse.

"It's okay. Among us, I'm afraid you are the only one who knows how to repair coastal defense artillery." Duan Zhenguo raised the corner of his mouth, with an encouraging smile, and patted Duan Liguo's shoulder hard.

Tell him not to worry too much. In Duan Zhenguo's opinion, although Duan Liguo may not be a professional engineer, but in comparison, among their group, Duan Liguo is the one with the most insights into the construction of coastal defense artillery.

After all, most of us usually focus on combat command or charging into battle on the front lines, and we are not very good at this kind of engineering construction.

"Well, I can only say let's give it a try." Duan Liguo sighed softly and shrugged helplessly.

He knew very well that he was being forced into doing something he was not prepared for. He only knew a little about building coastal defense artillery and was far from being an expert at it.

But now that the task has fallen on me, it is difficult to refuse.

He also understood the importance of this coastal defense artillery to the current situation. If it could be successfully built, it would play a vital role in resisting the counterattack of the Japanese army and protecting this important strategic location in the sea area.

Therefore, even though he was unsure, he had no choice but to agree to it and try his best to build the coastal defense artillery.

.........

The Strait of Gibraltar is located in a truly unique position, sitting firmly on a triangular rocky area.

This area seems to be created by nature with harsh conditions. There are no gurgling rivers, no clear and sweet springs, and even no arable land.

As a result, the residents living here have to rely on a continuous supply from the outside for all the vegetables, food and fresh water they need.

It is no exaggeration to say that such environmental conditions make almost everyone discouraged from living here.

However, such a seemingly desolate and lifeless place has a crucial strategic significance in its geographical location. It is like a loyal guard, firmly guarding the vital sea route between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

This sea route, like a vital throat connecting the two oceans, controls the lifeline of maritime transportation and has an immeasurable impact on many aspects of various countries' maritime trade, military deployment and so on.

Looking back at history, the British Empire and Spain fought a protracted battle for this seemingly tiny area on the map, which lasted for three or four hundred years. When the Spanish Invincible Fleet was majestic and dominated the sea, they were still able to rely on their powerful naval military force to keep the Strait of Gibraltar within their sphere of influence.

However, when the disaster of the destruction of the famous Invincible Armada occurred, the situation changed drastically in an instant. Spain lost its absolute advantage at sea, and the Strait of Gibraltar changed hands and fell into the hands of the British Empire, becoming a colony of the British Empire.

Judging from the map, Gibraltar is clearly a completely Spanish territory, but the final result is very sad. It actually became a colony of the British Empire.

It is for this reason that Spain has never given up its claim to sovereignty over Gibraltar over the years. With their persistence and desire for territorial integrity, they have tried again and again to take back the land that should belong to them.

Unfortunately, despite Spain's many efforts, it never made any substantial progress in the face of the British Empire's tough attitude and its tight control over this strategic location.

After all, for the British Empire, such an important strategic location would never be given up voluntarily unless one is an extremely stupid fool.

It is like a shining pearl of the British Empire on the sea. It not only symbolizes the empire's once glorious maritime hegemony, but is also one of the important supports for maintaining its global influence today.

Therefore, the issue of the ownership of the Strait of Gibraltar has remained in a stalemate throughout the long course of history.

Unfortunately, with the destruction of the Royal Mediterranean Fleet, the fleet that once dominated the Mediterranean collapsed, and the situation in the Mediterranean changed drastically.

Half of the Mediterranean fell into the hands of the navies of four countries, causing earth-shaking changes in the power map of the Mediterranean.

In particular, the strength of the four countries' navies continued to increase thereafter, showing a booming and unstoppable trend.

The most notable of these is that a large number of escort aircraft carriers have been produced continuously, making the navies of the four countries far stronger than before, and their voice in the ocean has also been increasingly strengthened.

As a result, the once glorious maritime hegemony of the British Empire, which dominated the world, once again faced serious challenges. It was like a fortress that was once extremely solid, but now, under the impact from all sides, cracks began to appear in its walls and it was crumbling.

Originally, Spain was still wary of the British Empire and did not have the courage to covet the sovereignty of the Strait of Gibraltar.

But now the situation is very different. The British Isles are facing the landing of German troops.

The Mediterranean Fleet also suffered heavy losses in many wars, like a broken-winged eagle, losing its former deterrent power.

Under such circumstances, Spain's ambitions suddenly expanded.

In particular, the German army put forward extremely tempting conditions. As long as Spain was willing to join them, the German army would return the Strait of Gibraltar to them.

This condition is undoubtedly a huge cake for Spain, placed in front of them.

The Strait of Gibraltar, that is the territory they have always dreamed of taking back.

Franco did not agree immediately, but was extremely cautious.

He knew that the British army had invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to protect the Strait of Gibraltar over the years, making it as solid as a rock. The solid fortifications and well-trained defenders seemed to form an extremely tight network, forcing any force that wanted to get involved in this place to weigh the difficulty.

Therefore, if you want to take this place, it will definitely result in heavy casualties, and it is not a goal that can be achieved easily.

But in order to get Spain to join them, the Germans knew they had to take Gibraltar.

Because as long as Gibraltar is occupied, the strait here can be controlled, which is equivalent to blocking the throat of the Mediterranean Sea.

How can we ignore such an important strategic location?

Once this place is controlled, the absolute strategic initiative can be taken in the Mediterranean region, which will have an immeasurable impact on many aspects such as military deployment and trade exchanges.

Therefore, in order to achieve its strategic goals, the German army naturally had to find a way to retake this place.

On the island of Gibraltar, in the slightly hidden radar room, the lights were dim and soft, in stark contrast to the bright sunshine outside.

The British officers and soldiers responsible for observing the radar were on duty meticulously. There was a unique silence and dullness here, with only the slight buzzing sound of the radar equipment echoing in the air.

The work of radar soldiers is really boring. They are like watchmen imprisoned in front of a small screen.

Most of the time, I just stare quietly at the screen flashing various lights, day after day, monotonous and boring.

Moreover, if you stare at the screen so intently for a long time, the light emitted by the screen will cause great harm to your eyes.

As time passed slowly, the radar soldier in charge of the guard felt his eyes becoming more and more sore and uncomfortable. He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his eyes, then said to his comrade beside him: "Change, my eyes are a little sore." There was obvious discomfort in his voice.

It is normal to feel swollen and sore eyes after staring at the screen for a long time, so in their work arrangements, there will be people who are responsible for rotation to ensure that everyone can take a break from this boring and eye-damaging work.

"Okay!" The comrade beside him responded crisply.

"Have you heard? The fighting is going on fiercely at sea." As soon as the rotating soldier sat down, he lowered his voice and whispered with a hint of mystery.

There was a gleam of curiosity and excitement in his eyes, and he seemed to be very interested in the war happening on the distant sea.

This sentence instantly resonated with many people, and someone couldn't help but said excitedly: "Yes, it is said that the fleets of the four navies were beaten up by us and fled with their heads in their arms." His voice unconsciously rose a little.

"Hahaha, what a bunch of cowards." Someone laughed and the laughter echoed in the computer room.

"What are the results of the battle?" someone asked hurriedly, his eyes full of anxiety and curiosity, and he couldn't wait to know the answer.

"Not sure, but I think a few warships were sunk." Since I have been working in this computer room, the information exchange with the outside world is relatively limited, and the specific details of the battle can only be guessed based on some hearsay. (End of this chapter)
