114. Internal and external troubles

"Commander, the three brigades that are now on the front line have four battalions in each of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The heaviest losses were the Red 118 Brigade, which lost two battalions in yesterday's battle! ā€

The staff member said in a low voice.

The Red 118 Brigade was the elite 2nd Division of the devils in front of it, and although it caused certain losses to the devils in more than a day of fighting, its own casualties were also relatively large.

After Qin Lang was silent for a while, he asked in a low voice:

"Has anyone pulled out?"

The staff officers glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.

The war has already been fought to this point, and both sides have already killed red eyes, even if there are prisoners, how can those murderous devils show mercy!

Qin Lang's face darkened, but finally said:

"All the troops held their positions, and the deserters were all shot on the spot."

The losses of the Red Army north of Tongliao were not small, and the main reason was the lack of support firepower and the delay in implementing the configuration on paper.

For example, a brigade-level unit should have a 150 mm or 155 mm heavy artillery battalion. But the three brigades that fought were armed with 77-mm guns. And the battalion artillery 6 105 mm guns, now there is no trace. Only the number of mortars is guaranteed, but not a single unit is at full strength.

Strengthened is the company-level support firepower, 82 mm and 60 mm mortars are relatively easy to produce, and now they can still be fully staffed. However, during this period of continuous operations, the consumption of 60-mm mortar shells was not small, but the production capacity of the Zhangye Industrial Zone could not keep up, resulting in some companies having guns but no ammunition.

And the most fundamental way to solve all this is to have skilled skilled workers. Otherwise, the imported equipment will not work at all, but it will take time. Maybe a few months, or even a year or a few years.

"Commander, the distribution of 80-millimeter mortars in Fengtian's inventory has begun, and all units will be able to reequip them the day after tomorrow at the latest, and the various types of shells and bullets that have arrived in Tongliao will reach 200 tons, and except for a few weapons, there will be no longer a shortage of ammunition!"

Truth be told, Ishihara's actions did reach a suddenness. But they measured the Red Army by the forces of the warlords, which was fundamentally wrong.

Now the balance of forces between the two sides was roughly equal, with the Japanese army having a slight advantage in numbers, but the Red Army having an advantage in firepower. If this situation continues to develop, it will be a matter of time before the devil collapses.

But Qin Lang didn't believe that the devils would be indifferent, they were like a wounded wolf, they would only become more ferocious.

Qin Lang asked coldly:

"What's going on in Tangshan now?"

One of the staff officers immediately said:

"Report to the commander, we have occupied Tangshan and rebuilt the railways between Tangshan, Jinzhou and Mukden. The Tangshan plant is now in the process of being dismantled and will be fully relocated in about a month. ā€

And the other staff officer frowned and said:

"Commander, except for the cement plant, most of the other equipment in Tangshan's industrial facilities are light industry, and it takes so much effort to relocate Zhangye, is it worth the loss?"

ē§¦ęœ— says:

"Everyone is looking at each other, what is the situation with us now? There is a shortage of people, from top to bottom, and the passing of so many industrial workers will alleviate our shortage of people. Our plan is to stick to it until March of this year, so let's do it now! ā€

The staff officers looked at each other, and one of them said:

"Commander, the problem we are facing now is military-industrial production. The front-line troops do not have fire support, which is why such large losses have been caused, and we should now adjust the direction of production and mainly support the army. The front-line troops lack the corresponding artillery, and the output of the Zhangye Artillery Factory is currently only 5 infantry guns per month, which is a waste! ā€

"Our aircraft factories have invested too much, and almost all of our resources and personnel are tilted towards them. Relying on the equipment found in Mukden, plus four months of purchases. It can produce 8 fighters, 10 bombers per month, and repair all wounded fighters. When the engine plant is fully operational next month, they will triple their output. ā€

"And the tractor factory, they're just too procrastinating. So far, only 3 chassis of 10 tons can be produced per month, but the imported equipment has consumed 2.2 million oceans, and the input and output are completely disproportionate. For almost a million dollars, we can all buy eighty tanks! ā€

Qin Lang slapped the table and stood up.

"Enough, the most powerful in our hands is the army, but the next thing we need is the air force. This time in the Tongliao operation, the bombs dropped by the planes gave the devils the greatest damage.

Comrades, the way of fighting is already different. We want tanks, planes, artillery, and well-trained soldiers. It's not about fucking finding someone to change into a military uniform, and send him a broken gun to go to war.

Always remember that the life of every Red Army soldier is precious. Life is as much to them as it is to us, and everyone can only have it once. Even if it is a sacrifice, it must be sacrificed where it should be sacrificed. Instead of letting the enemy slaughter on the battlefield! ā€

Hearing this, the command post was silent, and everyone looked at Qin Lang blankly. In their minds, although the commander rarely laughed, it was the first time he saw such a fire, and a few timid people were even frightened.

"I know a lot of people are chattering in your ears, but one thing you have to figure out, what to say and what not to say, don't let other people's opinions occupy your brains!"

One by one, the staff officers of the headquarters bowed their heads.

But Qin Lang said coldly:

"Now report all the bad news! Your idea is stupid, first to make an alarmist and then to flood me with bad news. Then I will not be able to discern, and I will foolishly agree to your request. Don't be too presumptuous! ā€

The staff officers' faces immediately turned red.

"Commander, I just received the information that the Japanese country has mobilized veterans within three years, and they will be transported to Andong in a few days. According to another source, the two divisions of the Japanese army stationed in Goryeo have already taken the train, and their destination should be Changchun. ā€

"According to the information of Comrade Citi, the increase in oil imports is about twice that of the same period last year. The amount of scrap steel is three times that of the same period. They also negotiated some technologies, the details of which are currently unknown. ā€

"The devil's naval aviation has been stationed in Anton, and the special detachment has visually inspected sixty fighters among them, and it is reported that they may be reinforced again in the next few days."

Hearing the news, Qin Lang said coldly:

"Alternate confinement, ten people a day. At the same time, notify the party committee of the military region and discuss the specific punishment method! ā€

There has always been no chief of staff in the Red Zone, one is that the personnel sent down do not have that seniority, and the other is that there is no one who is qualified for the job. Since Zhou Xiang left, the headquarters organs have significantly reduced their support for the Jicha Suihong Zone.

"Send a report to Comrade Luo Rong and ask the headquarters to send cadres again!"
