Chapter 871: Truth Is Within Range of the Cannon (Part II)
If this is just to make Japan anxious, then when the New Eighth Route Army, which Liu Fei had already helped arm, appeared, the Japanese government was already completely panicked, in fact, it was not only the Japanese government that was panicked, but also Jiang Guangtou in Nanjing. Sooner or later, these things will be revealed, and now the chairman and Premier Zhou have enough confidence, so the chairman has directly made a decision, since he has this strength, he cannot let Japan wreak havoc in China.
So with the chairman's order, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng directly led more than 150,000 troops to enter Shanxi directly at the invitation of Yan Xishan, because with the loss of Beiping and Tianjin, Shanxi has inevitably borne the brunt, and Japan will definitely occupy Shanxi in the next step, because at this time Shanxi is very good in terms of economy and industrial system, not to mention that there are still a very considerable number of coal mines in Shanxi, and these minerals are the most scarce in Japan, so Japan's next sign will definitely be aimed at Shandong, Shanxi, and Suiyuan.
Therefore, Yan Xishan, as the commander of the Second Theater of Operations, and the Eighth Route Army also belonged to Yan Xishan's "leadership", so Yan Xishan naturally would not give up these forces at this time, and Yan Xishan immediately invited the Eighth Route Army to enter Shanxi to establish an anti-Japanese united front and jointly resist Japan.
Because Shanxi was originally next to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area, it naturally didn't take much effort to enter Shanxi, but it is estimated that Yan Xishan would never have thought that it was easy for him to invite God and difficult to send God, and he never thought that the Eighth Route Army invited over would be like this, Yan Xishan had also participated in the "suppression of bandits", although he did not participate much, but what kind of equipment the Eighth Route Army was at this time, Yan Xishan naturally knew.
And the reason for the invitation, Yan Xishan did not have the idea of letting the Red Army come here to serve as cannon fodder, but Yan Xishan would never have thought that the Eighth Route Army he invited was completely different from the Eighth Route Army in his imagination! Or rather, it's not the same army at all.
"Commander!" Yan Xishan, who was located in Taiyuan, was holding a meeting when he received a report from his subordinates, and the discussion was naturally the issue of command and operation after the Eighth Route Army came, but at the critical time of the meeting, he was directly interrupted, and it was his adjutant who directly pushed the door in.
Yan Xishan immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Calm down, what's going on?" ”
"Commander! You, go and see! The three divisions of the Eighth Route Army have already arrived outside the city of Taiyuan! Yan Xishan's adjutant said loudly.
"What?!" Yan Xishan's whole person was stunned, how could he arrive so quickly! It's only been a long time. According to his estimates, it will take at least three days for the other party! And why didn't anyone report along the way?!
As for why Liu Fei could tell him, because Liu Fei directly asked people to block all the radio signals here, it was naturally impossible for his subordinates to report to him, and the reason why these three divisions arrived so quickly! It's because these are the three most elite fully motorized mechanical armored divisions that Liu Fei provided to the chairman and they are collectively armed!
In this era, the real armored division has not yet appeared, and it was not until after the official start of World War II that Germany and the Soviet Union successively had armored divisions, in fact, the three divisions armed by Liu Fei cannot be regarded as armored divisions in the real sense, first of all, the most important tanks and armored divisions of armored divisions are not here. It's not that Liu Fei can't be transported, but there is no need for that, but it will be easy to give other countries the opportunity to observe and learn.
At this time, no, it should be said that the entire World War II Japanese tanks can be described as Xiaodouding, the 12 provided by Liu Fei. The 7 mm and 25 mm super-large caliber heavy anti-materiel sniper rifles are simply a dozen accurate to kill the Japanese bean ding, so naturally there is no need to get out tanks and armored vehicles, it is a complete waste. This is one of them, and the other is that because Japan's steel and other resources are insufficient, the number of such small bean tanks in Japan is very small.
There are not many of them, so there is no need for that, so Liu Fei made the most of the heavy off-road vehicles, the off-road vehicles of the modern Humvee, in fact, they can be called armored vehicles in this era, even if there are not many such off-road vehicles, more are military trucks, complete, all-terrain military trucks that can be said to drive on almost all kinds of roads. The large number of military trucks allowed the three heavy divisions, each numbering more than 15,000 people, to move at least three or four hundred kilometers a day, and this was still the case in this era when the roads were not up to standard.
If this is put on the kind of road in later generations, it is very possible to maneuver a thousand kilometers a day, but in this era, not to mention three or four hundred kilometers, even if it is one or two hundred kilometers, this is a myth. Especially not only the personnel, but also the weapons and equipment.
These trucks are not comparable to those trucks of this era, and it is good that the trucks of this era can pull 5 tons, but Liu Fei made this truck out of it, regardless of the load capacity, if Liu Fei is willing, a hundred tons can be made, but the road is too poor, so heavy cars, the roads that can be driven are also limited, so the load capacity is all twenty tons.
But its engine is not only designed according to this standard, its engine pulls 40 tons is no problem, the reason why the load is only 20 tons is because of the limitation of the road, after a general investigation, Liu Da they designed, the road of this era, 20 tons is already the limit, this is also the technology in Liu Fei's hands, after increasing the suspension system, off-road system, and tires and other designs, to achieve such an effect.
Each such truck, a little cramped, can transport 100 soldiers, and it can also transport a layer of bullet boxes at the bottom. Each division has 400 such trucks, which can carry all the supplies such as ammunition, shells, food, etc., at one time, and there will be a special logistics supply convoy in the future. However, the fuel required by so many trucks is also a problem, fortunately Liu Fei has done tricks in the engines of these trucks, although no new technology has been adopted, but some technology has been added to the engine, which can make the fuel burn more fully, and part of the energy generated can also be recycled.
This makes the trucks extremely low in fuel consumption, otherwise this amount of fuel would be a problem. Even so, there are only three complete heavy motorized infantry divisions like this, and Liu Fei can't afford to be armed anymore, and the other infantry divisions have ammunition, artillery and other logistics materials to be transported by trucks, but in terms of personnel, they need to be rotated with each other on foot.
So these three divisions have arrived here in just over a day, speaking of which, this is thanks to Yan Xishan's good management of Shanxi, so the road here is good, and these three divisions can get here so quickly.
And at this moment, Mr. Peng, who had already rushed to the outside of the city too far away, couldn't help but say to General He~Long next to him: "Haha, do you say that after Yan Xishan sees us, will his jaw fall?" ”
He ~ Long thought of Yan Xishan's expression, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but after thinking about it, he sighed a little, this change is too fast, when the Long March was in the past, don't say that he thought of today, then what he thought about the most was whether he could eat enough every day in the future! And now, it's not just about having a full meal! Their current army is estimated to be no match for Chairman Jiang's German mechanics and American mechanics!
And the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level! You know, all they're using are assault rifles! In He Shuai's eyes, this assault rifle is completely no different from a light machine gun, can you imagine a division of troops with a light machine gun? This firepower is not at the same level at all, is it? In the past, the Eighth Route Army did not say that there was one manpower, even if a platoon could have an average of one light machine gun, it would be considered good.
It's all the difference between heaven and earth! Of course, he could think of what kind of expression Yan Xishan was. Not to mention Mr. Peng's bad taste, Yan Xishan at this moment has received the following report, no matter what happened, Yan Xishan still rushed to the outside of Taiyuan City as soon as possible, when he looked at the army in the distance with a telescope, Yan Xishan finally understood why his adjutant was so surprised.
I can't help but be surprised! The long convoy with no end in sight, this is the Eighth Route Army? My day ~ you ~ mother! Yan Xishan directly burst into foul language, Nima's, even the elites of the Central Group Army who are Chairman Jiang's most awesome don't have such powerful weapons and equipment, right?
But no matter how Yan Xishan doesn't believe it, this is a fact, after observing with a telescope, Yan Xishan didn't know whether to let the other party go over for a while, because in order to defend the Japanese, plus the two sides have signed a contract, so Yan Xishan has almost all his troops have been transferred to the front line, which is why there are no troop reports, and now the Japanese have not entered Shanxi, their defense line is naturally outside Taiyuan City, if the other party wants to go to the front line, this is naturally to pass through Taiyuan City.
But Yan Xishan didn't know whether to let the other party pass now, and when Yan Xishan hesitated, his adjutant suddenly said, "Commander, the other party has already started to get out of the car." ”
Yan Xishan picked up the binoculars and looked at it again, sure enough, the other party's army had already begun to get off the truck, Yan Xishan simply didn't want to think about it for the time being, and observed these troops first, but the more he looked at Yan Xishan, the more he felt bad in his heart. The strongest loser
