Chapter 1084: Perfecting the Military Industry

After recovering the northeast, Qiao Youhua asked the head of the headquarters for instructions, and decided that the Eighth Route Army and local guerrillas would be responsible for most of the national borders in North Manchuria, as well as the garrison tasks in Qiqihar, Harbin, Changchun, Jilin and other places.

The 300,000 Longya Corps was responsible for the defense of South Manchuria, especially the Liaodong Peninsula and coastal defense centered on Lushun and Dalian, and Qiao Youhua's deployment was as follows, and more than 100,000 troops of Ma Biao's subordinate who went out of the customs to support the operation in the later period were responsible for the defense of South Manchuria, such as Shenyang to Jinzhou, Yingkou, Dalian, and the Liaoxi Corridor.

The Dragon's Tooth Corps did not incorporate too many puppet armies that surrendered in Manchuria, and the strength of the Dragon's Tooth Corps, which was the first to go out to fight, did not suffer much loss, and secondly, Qiao Youhua arranged this way because he did not want to absorb too many puppet troops at one time, thus affecting the overall combat capability of the troops outside the customs.

Therefore, most of the puppet army prisoners were absorbed by the hundreds of thousands of Eighth Route Army and local guerrillas who went out to fight, and with them as the backbone, it was just enough to expand and absorb these hundreds of thousands of puppet army prisoners, and in time they would surely grow into a regular Eighth Route Army worthy of World War I.

After all, the North Manchurian area they were responsible for garrisoning was mainly bordering the big brother of the Soviet Union at this time, and it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to fight with the big brother of the Soviet Union, so their combat mission was at most to clear out the bandits and bandits in the territory.

It is impossible to have a major combat mission in a short period of time, and this is also what Qiao Youhua suggested to the head of the headquarters after consideration.

Mao, Lord Xi Ying, and wise in Yan'an, naturally saw such benefits, and the three or four hundred thousand troops stationed in Northern Manchuria, which was also conducive to the recovery of production in the northeast region, so as to support the Guannai war in the long run.

On the side of the Dragon's Tooth Corps, the troops that are now fighting at the pass and the troops staying in the base areas in North China have a total strength of more than 500,000, and Qiao Youhua has repeatedly decided to divide the Dragon's Tooth Corps into four columns, with Jiang Haidong, Ma Biao, Wu Ming, and Li Yunlong serving as the supreme commanders of the first, second, third, and fourth columns respectively.

Each column has three integrated divisions and a number of directly subordinate units, with a total strength of about 100,000 to 120,000.

After the establishment of the new command structure, the command efficiency has been greatly optimized, and Qiao Youhua can directly issue combat orders to the commanders of the four columns, thus commanding the four main forces of the Longya Column.

It's much easier to do it like your fingers.

, Liu Yidao replaced Jiang Haidong to temporarily command the first column Chen Bing on the banks of the Yalu River, but he did not immediately cross the Yalu River and march into the Goryeo Peninsula.

The reason is very simple, the Japanese army has been operating on the Goryeo Peninsula for a long time, and the mountainous terrain of the Goryeo Peninsula will not be conducive to the advance of the mechanized troops of the first column of the Dragon's Tooth Corps, so it may be a little hasty to rush into the Goryeo Peninsula.

In addition, the commanders of Yan'an are studying how to send troops to the Goryeo Peninsula to become more famous, after all, it was a foreign subject country before Huaxia, and it has been a long time since then, and it is not appropriate to march in the name of recovering lost territory.

Of course, the main reason is that the commanders hope that Qiao Youhua's first column can be absolutely fully prepared, and if they do not march, once they decide to cross the Yalu River, they must take the Goryeo Peninsula in one go and drive out the fascist invaders on the island.

In view of this, Qiao Youhua left Ma Biao to lead the second column to sit in Dalian to guard the entire South Manchurian region and the coastal line, and he and Jiang Haidong and others took a military plane and returned directly to the Pingshan base camp.

At the military airport in Jinzhou, after a German-style transport plane boarded with Qiao Youhua, Jiang Haidong, Zheng Yunshan and others, a guard armed with a Mauser pistol on his waist closed the hatch hard, and then the transport plane started with a bang.

Over the airfield, four BF-109 fighters had already risen into the air and were hovering above it.

With a shrill roar of engines, the military transport plane successfully lifted into the air, and the four BF-109 fighters quickly caught up with the transport plane with skillful flying skills, escorting it to speed towards the Guannai.

Sitting on the modified transport plane, Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong smoked cigarettes, looking at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Haidong sighed with emotion: "Look at this great river and mountain, thousands of miles of beauty, you said that Zhang Xiaoliuzi was willing to give him to the Japanese?" ”

Qiao Youhua smiled slightly and said: "Young Marshal Zhang can't help himself, but in terms of power and strategy, Zhang Xiaoliuzi is too far behind his old son Zhang Zuolin." ”

"Well, think about it, Zhang Zuolin was much more difficult than Zhang Xiaoliuzi when he started, but he still became the king of the Northeast, and in his heyday, he controlled the entire territory north of the Yangtze River, and became the strongest warlord worthy of the name." Jiang Haidong wanted to continue.

was interrupted by Qiao Youhua: "After all, no one has a long front and rear eye, if we are in it, we may not necessarily be able to do a better job than Zhang Shaoshuai, right and wrong, we have descendants to comment, we don't talk about it much." ”

Jiang Haidong nodded and said, "Commander, what are your plans next?" ”

"Is it to march into Gangnam, or into the Goryeo Peninsula?"

Qiao Youhua smoked a cigarette and muttered: "I think the time is not too ripe to enter the Goryeo Peninsula, it is best to slow down, as for Jiangnan, I plan to let you and Wu Ming or Li Yunlong bring a column over, how to say, the national army is also our friendly army, if we do not join, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to win the Japanese army in South China."

In the end, it is our Chinese national defense forces that will be lost. ”

"I plan to stay in the base camp of the base area, discuss with the commander-in-chief and the heads of the headquarters, and improve the military industrial foundation of our Eighth Route Army as soon as possible."

"Improve the military-industrial base? What do you mean, Commander? Jiang Haidong was taken aback.

"We now have a good relationship with the Germans, and with the big brother of the Soviet Union, we are fully equipped with the conditions to establish a sound military-industrial base, and within two years, we will be able to independently produce all kinds of weapons and equipment, tanks and artillery, and even mass production of all kinds of combat aircraft and all kinds of warships.

Only in this way can we truly achieve the goal of strengthening the country and the army, and then it is possible to truly defeat the Japanese army, you don't think that the War of Resistance against Japan will end here, right?

Let me tell you, in the early days, due to the Hu Die effect of those of us who traveled through the country, although the Japanese invading army suffered one defeat after another on the land battlefield in China and suffered heavy losses in the army, we did not have a navy and could not threaten the foundation of its militaristic rule, so the strength of the Japanese army still existed.

Coupled with the Yankees' ill-intentioned connivance and covert support, we will have a war with the Japanese devils sooner or later, and if we do not establish a sound national defense industry and military industrial foundation, we will probably not be able to hold on to the fruits of our current victory in future wars and return to the predicament we had in 1937.

In a word, in order to completely end the War of Resistance Against Japan, it is necessary to fight on the Japanese mainland and completely crush the foundation and ambition of Japanese militarist fascists, and only in this way can the war be truly ended. ”
