Chapter 683: Strategic Stalemate

At this time, the Japanese Empire was in fact mired in a quagmire, and years of wars of aggression had consumed a large amount of the country's strategic resources and were almost on the verge of exhaustion. Almost all young men of appropriate age are transferred to the battlefield, and if they are conscripted again, they will face an impact on the country's industrial base, resulting in a large loss of skilled personnel. Military spending is a bottomless pit, and the financial emptiness has affected the livelihood of the people, and the people have begun to tighten their belts to make ends meet, and the people are full of resentment.

Under these circumstances, the Japanese army was no longer able to launch a large-scale military operation, and China's anti-Japanese battlefield officially ushered in a stage of strategic stalemate. In the occupied areas, we should step up efforts to support puppet regimes, establish and develop traitor organizations, and gradually use the main forces to sweep up the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines, consolidate the occupied areas, and prepare for the next all-out attack.

Of course, there is another important factor in this, that is, the Japanese army is stepping up the deployment of the southward plan, plundering the rich war resources in Southeast Asia, and maintaining the continued invasion of China, which has become the primary task of the Japanese army at present.

Under such a favorable situation, the fortifications of Qinfeng Quzhou, Shangrao, and Yingtan were basically completed, and the permanent fortifications such as trenches and pillboxes were connected together, and the three cities were connected by tunnels, and even the key areas were connected by tunnels, ensuring that troops could be invested in any weak link at any time. This matter mobilized 500,000 people and gradually completed it in batches and sections, although GCD is indispensable to this. But in the later period, many ordinary people also saw Qin Feng's courage to coexist with the three cities of Quzhou, and indeed did a lot of good things for the people.

The conscription work had also been completed, and although the standard establishment of each division was 16,000 men for Type B, Qin Feng arbitrarily expanded the number to 24,000 men per division. After the reorganization was completed, it was reported to the Military Commission, and the reason was quite sufficient, now the Japanese army is arranging the elite divisions of the permanent divisions everywhere, even if the six divisions of the first type are still insufficient, according to the previous establishment of the second division to garrison three cities, it is undoubtedly self-defeating, if anyone thinks that the six B divisions are enough, then please send him to garrison, he Qin Feng will automatically let Xian.

Admiral He, who was in charge of this matter, was simply stunned when he received Qin Feng's telegram, this was Chi Guoguo's threat, and he reported it to the chairman, and the chairman only scolded a few times "Niang Xipi", and then accepted Qin Feng's expansion with anger. Now the three cities of Quzhou are a hot potato, no one dares to take it, the Japanese army around these four is all strong and strong, except for Qin Feng, who is bold, no one will think that he has the ability to protect the three cities of Quzhou.

But Qin Feng's expansion did not stop there, under the influence of the Hurricane Detachment, Qin Feng simply incorporated the Hurricane Detachment into the official establishment and became the Hurricane Column, with ten detachments under its jurisdiction, each detachment under the jurisdiction of two regiments, with a strength of about 5,000 troops.

Qin Feng personally selected the backbone and taught them tactics such as guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, and sabotage warfare, and after a month of intensive training, he scattered all of them in various enemy-occupied areas centered on Quzhou, Shangrao, and Yingtan. With the regiment as a unit, 20 regiments conducted joint operations in Jinhua, Lishui, Wenzhou, Huangshan, and Jingdezhen, and their main task was to harass and sabotage the enemy-occupied areas and to confront the Japanese army's plan to clear the countryside in a non-frontal manner, so that the Japanese army would never have peace.

The second detachment of the New Fourth Army, which was originally less than 3,000 after the war, was expanded to more than 5,000 in just two months, and the supplies could not be provided by Qin Feng. It won't take long to perform it in a county occupied by the Japanese army, and each time it becomes more and more tricky and bold. Even the most recent time, Jixi County, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Huangshan, fought again, and although there were not many enemies annihilated, Jixi County was swept away again.

At the beginning, Qin Feng's breakthrough from southern Anhui was to open a breakthrough from here, so the New Fourth Army and the Hurricane Detachment often thought about this place, and even threatened to advance into southern Anhui from now on, turning the occupied areas of southern Anhui upside down by the Japanese army, and completely smashing the Japanese army's plan to clear the countryside in the entire region.

For these, of course, Qin Feng is extremely appreciative, and he is also happy to see them cooperate with each other and grow each other, after all, they are the backbone of the anti-Japanese battlefield, even if they can make the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui areas forever peaceful, the Japanese army wants to suspend the war and enter a state of hibernation and recuperation, Qin Feng just doesn't let them have a good time.

As for the garrisons of Quzhou, Shangrao, Yingtan, etc., the training has never stopped, and Qin Feng's training is different from that of the troops of the same period, in addition to regular training, 20 kilometers of weight-bearing cross-country every day rain or shine, and there will be a real single shooting training every three days, which is simply an extremely luxurious thing in the troops with serious shortage of ammunition, but this is not counted, there will be a live-fire exercise within a month, and it is the special operations division stationed in Shangrao who acts as a sparring partner, abusing them again and again to the point that they are completely skinless, so that they gradually become stronger.

It is worth mentioning that although the training intensity is high, the soldiers' food is also absolutely leveraged, although it is not a big fish and meat open supply, but each person will eat a ration every day, breakfast is porridge and white flour steamed buns, lunch and dinner are rice, which is simply higher than the living standard of ordinary landlord families. Therefore, although the soldiers were tired every day like cattle produced by spring ploughing, they were all happy and went all out. Qin Feng is damaged, the bones left over from the daily killing of pigs will be specially set aside, all the companies that are lagging behind in today's training have no meat to eat, and the bones are all left for them, and as long as one soldier in each company is lagging behind, basically the whole company gnaws the bones, which not only stimulates their fighting spirit, but also trains the spirit of synergy between them, so that they can have a spirit of not abandoning and not giving up on their comrades in the future battles, so that they can better twist into a rope.

Before you know it, autumn has passed, winter is coming, and the soldiers of the army have changed into thick cotton clothes. The two armies and six divisions are considered to have completely taken root in the three cities of Quzhou, although they have not yet reached the point of being strong and strong, but Qin Feng is confident that it is not so simple for the devil to attack it, in view of the fact that there are still many things in the Lishui base that he must deal with personally, Qin Feng decided to return to the base, and only the special combat team accompanied him.
