In this regard, Hu Weidong gave two methods for the central authorities to choose from: First, the strategy of elite troops, although the reduction in troops, it is necessary to strengthen firepower to make up for it, but considering that more than one-third of the supply is needed for the living needs of officers and men on the front line, the downsizing of personnel will undoubtedly allow the logistics department to free up a large amount of transportation capacity.

First of all, at the strategic level, China's greatest advantage over Japan is our large population (depth and breadth play a great role in the defensive stage, but now it has entered the counteroffensive stage, and it is obviously of little significance.) The reason why the heavy troops of the 15th Group Army have been able to achieve great results is not only because their weapons are more powerful than the devils, but also because their use of these jishu weapons is more exquisite than the enemy, but from a macro point of view, after all, the surprise victory can only be momentarily proud, and it is difficult to completely change the overall trend, if too much emphasis is placed on the role of elite weapons, And it is not wise to use our relatively weak industrial power to compete with Japan.

Secondly, although the Jishu weapon is huge, it is inevitably much heavier than the light infantry, and in the northeast battlefield where the Japanese army has now completely regained air supremacy, this means that on the one hand, it is much more difficult to penetrate and penetrate, and on the other hand, it is easier to be discovered and destroyed by Japanese aircraft

Again, although there are not many of the main elites of the Japanese army left. Even if the Chinese army concentrates its limited jishu weapons into a few elite troops as the main force of the attack, it may be enough to drive the devil out of China, but Taizu, as the leader, thinks more long-term, and now the atmosphere of the Shijie war has become increasingly strong, and it is inevitable that China will not go to war with a truly industrialized country stronger than Japan in the future, and the only thing we can trust at that time is that we are now the millions of light infantry that are already the first in Shijie in terms of strength and combat effectiveness, Therefore, even in order to train more troops for war, Taizu would not accept the first method proposed by Hu Weidong.

Hu Weidong's second approach, on the other hand, was diametrically opposed to the first, that is, to leave the heavy troops in the rear for the time being. The light infantry units, which had relatively little logistical supply pressure, were used as the main force in the next battle against Japan. Hu Weidong also pointed out in the report. Light infantry is not only a small ammunition consummation, but they can also make up for the consumption in battle more or less by capturing (at least much easier than heavy infantry units), and when the two are linked, it can be seen that the continuous combat capability of light infantry units is far from comparable to that of heavy troops (unless they have the terrifying logistics ability of the Glaprey). Continuous combat can often make the enemy too late to replenish the lost troops and equipment, and force the enemy to fight again hastily with the remnants of the defeated army. Thus more effectively killing and injuring the living liliang of the enemy army. This point has been proved many times on the battlefield by the two leaders of the Central Plains Field Army, who are good at continuous operations.

Although the Japanese army has now regained air supremacy in the northeast battlefield, they have a big shortcoming in the air, that is, the limited number of bombers. Not to mention the comparison with the United States, which can play strategic bombing. Even the four countries of the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain, and France are far from being comparable to Japan, and although the Japanese bomber units have performed well in the Pacific theater in history, they mainly rely on the solid bombing skills of the Japanese pilots and the crazy boldness of daring to lower the bombing altitude, but when they use a huge light infantry unit with a number of more than one million as the bombing target, they will encounter a dead knot that is difficult to solve -- the economic gains of bombing outweigh the losses, and the losses are not ordinarily severe, and what is even worse is that Japan does not have the confidence to dare to lose like Lao Mei

The most common light infantry is much more agile than heavy equipment such as tanks and automobiles, and can easily rely on fortifications (even if it is just hiding in a crater, the loss is much smaller than that of being bombed on flat ground). In the contest between several air powers during World War II in history, at the macro level, an average sortie (only combat aircraft) could not even kill an enemy, and the huge casualties suffered by the Chinese army in the face of Japanese air raids in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War were entirely due to our lack of training and actual combat experience in air defense. However, after the "all-people airplane-fighting" training that had already begun in various base areas before the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, not to mention the regular troops of the People's Liberation Army, even the ordinary militia in various base areas basically knew how to protect themselves when enemy planes came, and even knew how to pose a possible threat to enemy planes, although these attacks would generally attract retaliation from enemy planes and increase their own casualties, in principle, everyone was not encouraged to do so

This also means that if the Japanese bombers take our light infantry as the main target, even if the high-quality light bombers of the Japanese bomber pilots can almost achieve a 100 percent bomb hit rate in a dive bombing mission, as long as they are targeted at the ground target, it will be difficult to escape, but the problem is that the commanders and fighters of the two major field armies in the northeast will immediately evacuate once they discover that the enemy plane is coming, and when the Japanese planes start bombing, the average distance between people is at least 30 meters away (Note 1). Even if the devil pilot throws it accurately, a bomb can kill one person, and if there is a complete field fortification cover, the actual loss is even smaller

Note 1: In order to weaken the enemy's heavy firepower superiority, the PLA infantry in the absence of their own heavy troops or air force support, even when attacking, the average distance is generally about this number (because our infantry has an absolute advantage in automatic weapons, so even if the troops are dispersed in the battle at the squad and platoon level, it may not necessarily suffer, but the Japanese army has strengthened its heavy firepower after receiving the United States' jishu and financial support, and the threat to the PLA is greater. And the marching, camping, and other actions that cannot avoid the accumulation of troops are carried out at night, and the bullying is that the devil's plane does not have the ability to fight at night. However, if you analyze it carefully, even if the devil's plane has the ability to fight at night, it is useless, because even with the early airborne radar, the hit rate of night bombing is very low compared to that of the daytime.
