"There are many people who oppose Chairman Chiang, but there are even fewer people who can really survive a few rounds under Chairman Chiang." Li Du put aside the telegram of the complete defeat of the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army and sighed, "Cai Tingkai, Li Jishen, and Jiang Guangnai only supported the establishment of another government in Fujian, but they were solved by Chairman Jiang Lian and La. The dismantling of the internal enemy, Chairman Chiang, was one after another, and the tricks were constantly coming up, but he was too powerless against the Japanese. ”

"This is also something that cannot be helped, and the internal problems of the Chahar Anti-Japanese Alliance are not small, otherwise they would not have collapsed so quickly. However, it seems that it will not be long before Chahar will become a Japanese occupation zone again. Jiang Li listened to Li Du and Ma Zhanshan's report on the rectification of the two newly formed divisions, and the combat effectiveness of these two divisions could not be pulled up for a while, but now the strength of the 15th Route Army has indeed advanced a lot again.

"Relying on those locks to resist Japan is unreliable after all, fighting and retreating are all a nest of wind, and there is no tenacity. After the commander evacuated Mukden, Li Yinpei and I also pulled more than 100,000 people, many of whom were beards on the green forest road. Most of the wars can only be counted together, and they can't stand up to it. Fortunately, the commander's current 15th Route Army has strict military discipline, and he has undergone a lot of military training from the admission of new recruits, plus the number of live-fire exercises, it will not take a year or two to become an elite division again. Ma Zhanshan nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's discuss our own problems now, the problems we are facing this time are not small, all the way is Sun Dianying's 41st Army who is coming from the north to fight for food, one is Liu Xiang in Sichuan, and Nanjing also sent two divisions to threaten to enter Shaanxi, and I don't know if Yang Hucheng will allow it. Once the Central Army enters Shaanxi, our current situation will be truly difficult. Feng Zhanhai drew everyone's attention back.

"How's our setup going in northern Sichuan?" Jiang Li asked.

"The main force is Ma Zhuang's mixed 3rd brigade, in order to adapt to the complex terrain of northern Sichuan, the main artillery battalion of the mixed 3rd brigade and the provisional 4th brigade have been replaced with 75MM mountain artillery, and the preparation of heavy artillery has not been increased, because of transportation problems. Instead of strengthening the number of artillery, they rushed to transport ammunition and food. In addition, Hong Chengbo's North Sichuan Frontier Brigade, after filling the training camp with new recruits and replenishing our own officers in the past few months, the North Sichuan Frontier Brigade has a certain combat effectiveness, and its military strength has expanded to nearly 8,000 people. The total number of troops above is about 22,000. As for Sun Dianying's 41st Army from the north, the strength of the army is close to 60,000, although the equipment is not very good, but some of them are people who have experienced the Great Wall War of Resistance, and they still have some combat effectiveness. But it's the same as when we first entered the northwest. At least we will not be able to come here until the Yellow River freezes. In contrast, the greater threat is the Central Army, which is about to enter Shaanxi in the east, and the relatively weak northern Sichuan cluster. Feng Zhanhai analyzed.

That is to say, now the three fronts are threatened, and the most stakes are Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army. Sun Dianying has an army of about 60,000, and Liu Xiang can mobilize more than 100,000 troops at any time. However, the routes of these two armies into Gansu were restricted, and Sun Dianying had to wait until the Yellow River froze before he could cross the Yellow River to reach the sphere of influence of the 15th Route Army. And Liu Xiang's troops entered Gansu, like Jiang Li's entry into Sichuan, there were also many problems. But as long as Yang Hucheng nodded. The route and time limit for Sun Dianying and Liu Xiang to enter Gan will be greatly reduced. Not to mention that Yang Hucheng's 17th Route Army, 70,000 or 80,000 people, also has a certain combat effectiveness.

"The Central Army wants to enter Gan and take advantage of Shaanxi. Isn't Yang Hucheng afraid that the Central Army will beat rabbits? Sun Dianying has been stored in Shanxi for so long, Yan Xishan has been uncomfortable for a few years, Yang Hucheng would want to accept such a dog skin plaster like Yan Xishan? Yang Hucheng will not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, with the relationship between our 15th Route Army and Shaanxi, Yang Hucheng is still quite wary of me now, not to mention Sun Dianying, who has no territory and is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. There is also the Sichuan army that has never cooperated. The possibility of Yang Hucheng and Sun Dianying cooperating with the Sichuan Army is extremely low, but the survival of the 15th Route Army cannot be pinned on luck, and a tank battalion is transferred into Ningxia. Give them a pew. The other two tank battalions were transferred to Dingxi and Longdong respectively, and the heavy artillery regiment did not need to be transported long distances. Jiang Li thought about it a little and made the following arrangements, although he felt that Yang Hucheng would not lead the wolf into the room, but if he was unprepared, once Yang Hucheng fell to the opponent, it would indeed be a disaster for the 15th Route Army.

"The commander's arrangement is a serious move." Ma Zhanshan nodded.

……………

"After more than half a year of experiments, the laboratory has preliminarily explored the technology of mass production of penicillin with fermentation technology, but the yield rate is still not high, and it will take at least half a year to make this set of technologies completely mature." Wu Lian, who was dressed in a white coat, took off his mask and said to Jiang Li, who came to inspect.

"Well, no matter how low the good mouth rate is, we will produce a batch first, and then there are still many people in this world who are willing to come out before buying their lives." Jiang Li nodded and said, with the advent of penicillin, some of the diseases that were previously regarded as terminal diseases will be solved, and with this effect, there will naturally be a huge market demand. Those who are not sick in the trenches will also think of preparing one in case they need it.

Wu Liande nodded, if he came to the northwest, Wu Liande would have been a little resistant to Jiang Li's gold-absorbing technique. However, after the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Jiade's heart has changed somewhat, how many people in the northwest died a year because they could not get timely medical treatment, and how many people lacked medical treatment. How many units of the 15th Route Army were not yet equipped with hygienists, and how many field hospitals lacked doctors and nurses. And how much manpower and material resources have been invested in the development of this penicillin, these are all things that need to be solved with funds. Wu Liande has little understanding of the achievements of the Northwest at this time, but he is clear about how amazing the growth rate of the medical system in the Northwest is in this almost empty land.

"Has Professor Kim contacted you over there?" Jiang Li asked.

"I've been contacted, and we're also working on ways to mass-produce penicillin. The arrival of medical equipment from the United States has doubled the production of sulfonamides at the pharmaceutical plant, and it also obtained an authorization to produce aspirin last month. If this rate continues, it won't be long before some Western medicine in the Northwest will be self-sufficient. Speaking of this, Wu Liande had a satisfied smile on his face.

Looking at Wu Liande's expression, Jiang Li wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it, forget it for the time being, after all, the production of Western medicine in the northwest has not been basically solved, and it is a bit ambitious to start research similar to Japan's bacteriological warfare at this time.
