As for the question asked by Zhou Shidi, Han Yunhua has actually studied it for a long time, as early as when he was a student at the National Defense University of Science and Technology, Han Yunhua made a detailed comparison in this regard.

Since the Meiji Restoration, he has been studying the West vigorously. In terms of army building, the Prussian model has become a model for the army, and the division and regiment system has also been established in imitation of the German style. On the eve of the "77" incident, the army had 17 standing divisions, 4 mixed brigades, 4 cavalry brigades, 5 field heavy artillery brigades, 3 tank wings (including tanks and armored vehicles), 16 flying wings (54 flying squadrons), and garrison units (equivalent to infantry brigades), totaling about 380,000 people. It is said that the army and the army are fully established, the number of special forces is large, the equipment is relatively good, and the soldiers are well-trained, instilled in the spirit of bushido, and extremely tenacious. At the beginning of the war of aggression against China in 1937, the 17 standing divisions of the Chinese army were immediately changed from one to two (in addition, the four second-class divisions that had been dismantled were also restored). These newly created divisions after the number 100 are called "ad hoc divisions", such as the 101st Division, which is formed by the reservists of the 1st Division. In addition, Han Yunhua also knew that there were still a large number of demobilized officers and soldiers called "soldiers in the township," and as long as the war was tight, he could quickly form a number of new divisions and regiments in the shortest possible time, which was the main reason why there were as many as 169 army combat divisions and regiments (excluding special forces such as aviation and tanks) when he surrendered.

In addition, the Navy had a total of 285 ships in active service at that time, with a total displacement of 1.153 million tons, including 4 aircraft carriers, 9 battleships, and 12 heavy cruisers. In addition, two battleships and two aircraft carriers are being manufactured, and the strength of the navy is second only to Britain and the United States, ranking third in the world.

It is said that the air force and the air force at that time did not have the ability to read, belonged to the army and navy respectively. The Army has a total of 54 combat flight squadrons, including 22 fighter squadrons, 6 light bomber squadrons, 8 heavy bomber squadrons, 15 reconnaissance aircraft squadrons, and 3 mixed bombing and reconnaissance squadrons. The Army Aviation Corps has a total of about 960 combat aircraft. The Navy has a total of 640 land-based and carrier-based combat aircraft.

At this time, the situation in China was really heart-wrenching, and although the national political axe had unified China in form, warlords of all sizes still existed in their own unique form. Ideologically, there is also a struggle between [***] and capitalism, and politically it is also extremely unified. At the time of the outbreak of the "77" incident, the Chinese army had 182 infantry divisions and 46 reading brigades, 9 cavalry divisions and 6 reading brigades, 4 artillery brigades and 20 reading regiments, and a small number of other special forces, with a total strength of about 2 million people. However, due to historical reasons, although the Central [***] team is nominally subordinate to the national political axe, in fact the organizational leadership and command are not unified, the factions are complicated, and there are many contradictions. The 70 divisions directly under the central authorities, 40 of which were formed with Whampoa cadets as officers, were trained under the guidance of the German advisory group and equipped with a batch of imported new weapons, and their quality was better than that of other units. The armies of local forces other than the central army each have their own military academy trained officers, their own military quartermaster system, and their weapons are produced by their own purchases or arsenals, so the equipment of each unit varies greatly and its establishment is also different. The units of the Central Army were relatively the most substantial. In 1936, the Nationalist Axe began to reorganize the army, but by the time the "77" incident broke out, only 20 readjustment divisions had been reorganized, and they were not fully equipped. Compared with a Chinese readjustment division, a standing division has twice as many personnel, 1.5 times more infantry guns, 1.1 times more light and heavy machine guns, and 3.1 times more wild howitzer guns, and more than 1,000 artillery vehicles and baggage vehicles, and 24 tanks. The strength of the other Chinese organizers and the divisions that have not yet been reorganized is about 5 to 7 percent of that of the adjustment divisions. Due to the lack of means of transportation and the conscription system has just begun to be implemented in some areas, the ability of the squadron in terms of military supply and personnel replenishment is extremely weak, and there is a big gap between it and the army.

The Chinese Navy has not recovered since the First Sino-Japanese War, and before the outbreak of the full-scale War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were 120 ships of various types, with a total displacement of about 110,000 tons, but the actual combat ships were only more than 60, with a displacement of about 60,000 tons, and the best ships were second only to the heavy cruisers.

At that time, the Chinese Air Force was in the initial stage of construction, and its strength was far inferior to that of the previous one. At that time, there were 600 aircraft of various types, of which only 305 were combat aircraft, and because of the dependence on imports and the lack of spare parts, only 223 aircraft could be put into combat at the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and a total of 31 squadrons were organized.

Undoubtedly, in 1937, the gap in strength between Ben and China was huge, far exceeding that of the First Sino-Japanese War.

But can these Han Yunhua talk to Master He and the others? If you say it, Han Yunhua, the commander, will also be the end, these things are not something that can be known by winning a lot of battles.

So Han Yunhua pondered for a long time and didn't speak, but Master He saw that Han Yunhua was silent, thinking that this young warrior had no research on this aspect, so he relieved Han Yunhua and said: "Xiao Huazi, if you can't think of it, don't think about it, no matter how powerful he is, he is not beaten by us now." ”

Han Yunhua glanced at Master He gratefully and analyzed: "It has been almost a year since the war broke out in full force, and in the frontal battlefield, we have lost our troops and lost our cities and land, which can be described as a rout. Although our Eighth Route Army achieved brilliant results in the battlefield behind enemy lines, it was a petty fight after all, and it was unable to inflict a wounding blow on the army in a short period of time, and it was difficult to shake the wolf ambition of the imperialists to colonize China. Therefore, it is difficult for the overall situation to change this unfavorable situation in a short period of time, but we belong to the internal line of operations, and we have absolute geographical advantages and people, not to mention that the devil uses three divisions and regiments, even if he uses a division and regiment, he cannot completely annihilate our Eighth Route Army on Chinese soil, because where there are people, there will be the Eighth Route Army. Again, we must fight, and we must win, if we win, the country will prosper, and if we lose, we will destroy the country and extinct the species. ”

Gan Siqi praised loudly: "Well said, that's the reason, Xiao Yueben's encirclement and suppression was not a big army to suppress the border, and we didn't win more with less." No matter how difficult it is, our troops can turn danger into relief, and they can always miraculously break the enemy's encirclement and suppression afterwards, and the strength of the troops can always be strengthened. ”

Master He asked again: "Although we have the upper hand in the war in the northwest of Jin for the time being, as long as the army increases the troops in the northwest of Jin, it will be difficult for us to handle?" ”

Han Yunhua said with a smile: "You can rest assured, even if the little devil has the heart to increase his troops now, he can't do anything about it, this attack on the base area in the northwest of Shanxi is mainly based on the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army Corps, mainly by Major General Kuroda Shigetoku, the brigade commander of the 26th Infantry Brigade of the 26th Division, and a large number of puppet troops. If before, there was still the possibility of increasing the number of troops. Now, the possible surnames of the army increase are basically zero. ”

Gan Siqi said: "Why is this? Is there any basis for this? ”

Han Yunhua continued: "Not long ago, our unit launched a large-scale assault on the devils entrenched in the military town of Jining and many county towns in the central part of Chahar, severely damaged the 11th Wing of the Reading Infantry of the 26th Infantry Brigade of the Mongolian Corps, and killed the commander of the 11th Wing of the Reading Infantry Force, Sadao Usao. In order to guard against our troops, the Mongolian Corps did not have the courage to send troops to reinforce Major General Kuroda Shigetoku. And the army in North China is now fighting with the Kuomintang in the Xuzhou area of Shandong, and the two sides have invested nearly 100,000 troops in Taierzhuang alone, and Terauchi Shouichi can still take care of the life and death of Major General Kuroda Shigetoku, so now Major General Kuroda Shigetoku These people are a lone army, and neither Hasunuma nor Terauchi Shouichi can help him. ”

Master He thought for a while and said: "Yunhua is reasonable, as long as we defeat the devils on the front line of Wuzhai, the danger in the northwest of Jin will be solved." ”

Han Yunhua said: "It's easy to say on the army's side, but it's difficult for the Kuomintang to do it." ”

Zhou Shidi asked suspiciously: "What is this about the Kuomintang?" If we fight our devils, will they dare to attack us in the face of the world's condemnation? ”

Han Yunhua said: "It's not enough to start, but friction is definitely indispensable." After we defeat the devils this time, our influence in the northwest of Shanxi will definitely be greatly improved, and it is a foregone conclusion that we will gain a foothold in the northwest of Shanxi, but neither the national political axe in Wuhan nor Yan Xishan in Shanxi will want us to [***] get involved in Shanxi, and it will definitely become a confrontation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that time. And the spirit of "everything obeying the united front" and "everything going through the united front" emphasized in the "December Conference" of the Central Committee in 1937 will also make it a little difficult for us to do. ”

Master He thought about it carefully and said: "This is a difficult problem, but the territory is down by us, he Yan Xishan can want, but our people can't be withdrawn, he can do his, we get ours, as long as the well water does not interfere with the river water." We will resolutely implement the instructions of the central authorities, but we cannot blindly take them out of context and arbitrarily carry them out, and we cannot tie our hands and feet. ”

Han Yunhua knew that Master He was a straight temper, and Master He, who was born as a bandit, had his own set of opinions on people and things, and it didn't matter what others said. But Han Yunhua still wanted to persuade him, after all, the unification of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is now a matter of life and death for the nation's reading power, and it will be troublesome if it is messed up. Han Yunhua smiled and said, "I don't think you should rush to a conclusion about this matter, you should communicate with the central government first and see what instructions Yan'an has." ”

Seven or eight people chatted for more than two hours, and initially determined the plan for the two divisions to cooperate in the operation, and the two departments temporarily formed a joint command center, with Master He as the temporary commander, and unified command of the 120 Division and Han Yunhua's headquarters.
