When the People's Army was the first to put forward-loading rifled guns and grenades with a long range into the war, a war involving hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the war might end in just a few days, and the enemy was either repulsed by the People's Army or directly collapsed, and compared with the enemy who suffered heavy casualties, the People's Army did not lose many people.

That's the advantage that comes with advanced weapons.

Ukita Hideya led 200,000 Japanese troops to attack Liaodong under the control of the People's Army, three siege battles, a total loss of 64,000 people, and finally withdrew to Goryeo under the control of the Japanese army with less than 140,000 horses.

The Japanese army can suffer defeat, but it cannot lose the capital of Goryeo, and if it continues to retreat in the Japanese mainland, just internal fighting will make the Japanese lose the opportunity to expand again.

On the other side, Nurhachi also received the report of two consecutive defeats of the Japanese army, although Nurhachi did not know how many Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, but the first time the Japanese army was killed and wounded tens of thousands, and the number of dead and wounded these two times will not be small, now the Japanese army has retreated, and it is expected that they will not dare to attack Liaodong in a short time, and they will also guard against the retaliation of the People's Army, and the possibility of attacking the Jianzhou Jurchens is greatly reduced.

In the Jianzhou Jurchen army, the Japanese envoys were still urging Nurhachi to launch an attack on Parrot Pass, this time Nurhachi did not need to endure it, and directly ordered all the Japanese in his generals to be killed, and then withdraw and go home.

Next, Nurhachi put more eyes on the Beishan Jurchens in the north, and Nurhachi already had a rough plan in his heart, first unification/one Jurchen, and then conquer the Tatars, and then consider Goryeo and even the land of China controlled by the Japanese army after he has enough strength.

In addition, because of the previous attack on Parrot Pass, Nurhachi originally despised firearms, but the power of the People's Army's firearms made Nurhachi attach importance to firearms, and he was ready to think of ways to create firearms equipped by the People's Army, which could also improve the strength of the Jianzhou Jurchen.

However, if the Jianzhou Jurchens want to create firearms, the difficulty is not a little bit, maybe in the future, because of the People's Army, the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Japanese will join forces again, and they can get some firearms from the Japanese Kou.

The Japanese army and the Jianzhou Jurchen withdrew one after another, and Han Lin, who was sitting in Liaodong, was also relieved, the army in his hands was only 170,000 people, including 12 integrated divisions of the People's Army, totaling 100,000 people, and 20 battalions of the assistant army totaling more than 72,000 people.

The enemy's Japanese army was 200,000, and the Jianzhou Jurchens also had 100,000, totaling 300,000.

If Han Lin led an army of 170,000 to engage 300,000 enemies on a frontal battlefield, Han Lin believed that he would be able to defeat the enemy with few casualties.

However, now Han Lin needs to divide his troops to guard all parts of Liaodong, especially the coastal areas, and the remaining troops need to be deployed in the east, west, and north directions, and need to face the Japanese Kou, Jianzhou Jurchen, and Tatars at the same time.

In this case, Han Lin could only let the various departments use the city to defend against the attacking Jianzhou Jurchens and Japanese Invaders, and the gap between the people's army defending the city and the enemy was very large.

Simply with the advantage of firearms, the People's Army repelled the attacking enemy again and again, and under the heavy losses, the Japanese had to withdraw their troops, and the Japanese withdrew their troops, and the Jianzhou Jurchens also withdrew.

The war was won, Han Lin was very happy, but Han Lin was very angry at the two enemies of the Japanese and the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Han Lin really wanted to lead the army out of Liaodong and destroy the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Japanese who were entrenched in Goryeo, but Han Lin also knew that the current situation of the People's Army was not enough to support Han Lin to launch a foreign war, and Han Lin needed to wait for the People's Army to officially establish a state.

There is only one month left before the official founding of the People's Army, and as the deputy commander of the First Group Army, he will be the commander of the Northern Army in the future, and Han Lin will also rush back to Wuchang City to participate in the founding ceremony.

After the People's Army officially established the country, it will consider launching a foreign war, and Han Lin will be the commander of the Northern Army at that time, and he can lead the war against the Tatars, the Warats, the Jianzhou Jurchens and even the Japanese Invaders, provided that the above decides to wage war against foreign countries.

Every month, the Lancer Division would go out of the border into the steppes to attack the Tatars, which was not a complete foreign war within the KPA.

The definition of the People's Army's foreign war is to fight out, occupy the enemy's territory, and turn it into its own territory, this is the real foreign war.

Like a lancer division attacking the Tatars, but not taking away the territory of the Tatars, the Tatars will be killed a lot by the Lancer division, but the Tatars are difficult to perish, as long as they are given to the Tatars, they will continue to attack the border areas.

The best way to solve the Tatar problem is to occupy the steppes and wipe out the Tatars completely, or drive the Tatars far away.

Han Lin knew that the People's Army would launch a foreign war only after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but he also knew that the possibility of the People's Army waging war against the Jianzhou Jurchens or the Japanese was relatively small.

The most important reason is that the Tatars are nomadic people, living on grazing, and the cattle and horses grazing by the Tatars are lacking in the People's Army, and attacking the Tatars, the People's Army can obtain a large number of cattle and horses.

Secondly, the terrain of the steppes was flat, and the firearms units of the People's Army were able to exert their full might, and as long as there were enough musketeers, as many Tatar cavalry as they came, they would die.

Moreover, when the People's Army occupies a part of the grassland, it can also arrange for people to graze cattle, horses and sheep on the grassland.

Compared with waging war against the Tatars, waging war against the Jianzhou Jurchens was worse, and waging war against the Japanese was the least cost-effective.

The Jianzhou Jurchens can also graze their cattle and horses by attacking the Jianzhou Jurchens, but the area where the Jianzhou Jurchens live has a lot of restrictions on the firearms of the People's Army, and attacking the Jianzhou Jurchens will make the People's Army pay more casualties.

For the time being, the People's Army also needs coolies to build roads and water conservancy facilities, but for the People's Army, cattle and horses are more important than coolies, and the People's Army can also capture some Tatars when attacking the Tatars and bring them back as coolies.

"It is expected that it will take three or five years to fight the Jianzhou Jurchens or the Japanese Invaders." Han Lin made a guess on his own.

As the 1st Lancer Division continued to fight against the Tatars and brought back a large number of war horses, the new Lancer Division was being formed, giving the People's Army three to five years to form enough Lancer Divisions, and then the Lancer Division would be able to crisscross the steppes and turn the entire steppe into a pasture for the People's Army.

Only by destroying or driving out the Tatars and Warats will the KPA choose a new target.
