The allied military competition in Licheng was very lively on the field.

As the landlord, the Eighth Route Army selected a number of military competitions mainly based on the army for the allied parties' big competition, and formulated fair and just corresponding competition rules.

The actual way of the competition is to compete in individual, squad, platoon, and company groups.

When I heard the introduction of the generals of the Eighth Route Army, this was an old tradition of the Eighth Route Army, and the troops killed the enemy on the front-line battlefield on the one hand, and summed up the experience of fighting on the battlefield on the other.

In the absence of large-scale wars and when the war situation is relatively stable, the base areas will also hold some joint martial arts competitions, which can not only test the training results of various units, but also promote competition within the units in a benign manner.

The Allied delegates were amazed at this, and it was a good idea.

Especially when they linked these traditions of the Eighth Route Army with the growing strength of the Eighth Route Army and the strong combat effectiveness it showed.

It inevitably made these Allied teams from various countries feel pressure.

The combat effectiveness of these Eighth Route Army units has been vividly demonstrated in the wars that have been fought against the Japanese invaders.

For this reason, in order not to lose face and win glory for the country, the Soviet, American, and British sides all brought the most elite ace troops and equipped with the best sophisticated equipment to participate in the competition.

They all hope to show their faces in the game and show their national prestige.

But they clearly got it in the wrong direction.

This allied contest is not about which army is well-equipped, but not about which country's industrial level is stronger.

If the level of equipment can replace combat effectiveness, in Li Yunlong's words: "Then our team that dares to play with devils with broken guns and a few bullets in our pockets has been wiped out by the little devils a long time ago!" ”

What's the final comparison?

It compares the strength of individual combat ability, and compares the five basic skills of infantry, shooting, bomb throwing, explosives, earthwork and assassination.

What is more than that of the coordinated operations of all arms of the armed forces and the tacit understanding of a high degree of cooperation.

And these soldiers who came from the bases of the Eighth Route Army to participate in the competition this time are all iron-blooded divisions and elite veterans who have experienced a hundred battles under the real test of the fire.

If the equipment doesn't work, then let's play with training and play with the involution.

This allied martial arts competition has not yet begun, and the soldiers in various base areas are holding back their strength in their hearts, wanting to show these gringos a good show of the military might of our Eighth Route Army.

Representatives of Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other parties, including representatives of the Jiang Army and the Jin Sui military, also cheered up the participating soldiers before the start of the competition.

They all want to work hard to get a good ranking.

According to the parties participating in this competition, a total of representatives of the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union were mainly representatives.

Of course, when it comes to specific individual competitions and team competitions, there are many participants and troops on the side of the Eighth Route Army, including the participating teams of various base areas and various units.

There are so many of them, if you want to rank them in an order, I'm afraid you can rank forty or fifty places.

The U.S. representative privately encouraged: "Gentlemen, you have to know what kind of team the Eighth Route Army used to be here, they lacked equipment support, and they lacked the supply of resources.

Their soldiers didn't even go to school, and basically they didn't have any cultural background, let alone the corresponding military schools, to learn those advanced military theoretical knowledge.

You are the elite of our army, and you are the representatives of bravery and justice, you have the most sophisticated equipment, the most abundant knowledge, the most advanced and systematic study of military theories, and the teachings of the famous generals in the military academy.

Even if this is the territory of the Eighth Route Army, you should completely compete with them in this competition and win the championship! ”

The soldiers echoed loudly, and their fighting spirit was high.

As a Yankee, he naturally stood behind the American delegation at the beginning of the game.

After the encouraging words of the American representative, he turned his head and asked Doolittle with a smile: "Colonel, how many places do you think our soldiers can win in this competition?" ”

After a moment of silence, Doolittle replied, "Maybe it's second, of course it's third!" I'm talking about individuals, including a range of competitions as a team. ”

"Colonel, why can't it be number one?" The representative asked in surprise.

Doolittle shook his head in silence, obviously not intending to explain, but the representative asked again and again, and he had to say: "We should be glad that this is just a friendly game between the allies, if it is a real battlefield, there is no second or third place, there will always be only the first place to survive in the end."

In that case, do you think this first place still belongs to us? ”

The representative was stunned by the question, and was speechless for a while.

……

Kong Jie's side was not idle at all.

At the same time as the competition, Kong Jie, as the representative of the Welcome Group of the Eighth Route Army, held a meeting with the representatives of the Allied countries.

He expressed the hope that the Allied countries will continue to expand the types of industrial assistance and the authorization of advanced technology, and further strengthen military and economic cooperation between the two sides.

At the same time, Kong Jie also put forward an application, hoping to include the base areas of the Eighth Route Army in the scope of the Allied production system, and the Eighth Route could be responsible for providing resources and industrial products for the Allied forces and supporting the Allied countries in the nearest war.

Of course, the benefits are naturally not less, anyway, it is a win-win situation for cooperation.

In addition, in order to further promote exchanges and cooperation between the two sides, Kong Jie said that the Eighth Route Army will send military visiting delegations to the main battlefields of the allied forces in the future.

Strengthen the military alliance of the Allied parties.

After all, it is not a good thing to work behind closed doors, and humbly seeking advice and learning from each other's strengths is the secret to maintaining continuous progress.

At the same time, Kong Jie also privately approached representatives of the British and American sides and proposed to purchase a batch of oil refining equipment and mining equipment.

As for the intentions.

When the former enemy's general headquarters talked about this matter, Kong Jie explained: "Our contingent must be thoroughly strengthened, the base areas must be further developed, and the further improvement of the military industry level must absolutely not be restricted.

That would require a large amount of oil and other resources, including the Japanese army, which is now on the verge of exhaustion, and such a strong industrial system, after being choked from the lifeblood of oil imports, many important areas such as military and economic directly fell into crisis.

This shows the importance of abundant resources.

For the sake of long-term interests, I suggest that we can negotiate with the Jiang army, and we can sell all those Lancasters and B17s to the Jiang army, which can be regarded as an indirect reinforcement of the frontal battlefield operations, and at the same time in exchange for control of the Yumen oil field. ”

Anyway, the British side has privately agreed to sell Lancaster's latest improved production line to the Eighth Route Army, and the original production line that can be eliminated naturally cannot be wasted, and it is just right to make use of it.

The US side also privately said that it could sell the B17 strategic bomber production line, and at the same time sell a little more B25 production line, in exchange for money and materials.

As for the reason!

Kong Jie believed: "The United States is probably preparing to launch a counterattack in the Pacific, hoping to directly purchase materials on our side to assist the Soviet side in holding back the enemy's troops, and then supply its own materials to Europe and the Pacific theater." ”

At the same time, the Soviet side also expressed its willingness to sell the relevant production lines of the tank factory, as well as the smelting aluminum alloy production line, as well as various industrial production lines, in order to ask for military materials and money.

Obviously, the Soviet side is preparing for a major counteroffensive, which requires more synthetic rubber, food, artillery shells and related supporting explosives raw materials, and even high-quality aviation fuel and other materials are in short supply.

The battle line is too long, and it is a bottomless pit.

Even civilian light industrial products are needed.

The representative of the Soviet side even made it clear: "Of course, it would be better if there were medicines, tea, drinks, and self-heating food packets!" ”

During this period, he led the delegation to visit and exchange with the Eighth Route Army base area, but he saw many miracles.

Not to mention far away, let's just say that after the supply of military tea, the Eighth Route Army is such a large team, and the probability of the soldiers getting sick is surprisingly low.

The Soviet representatives could not believe that with the logistical and industrial conditions of the Eighth Route Army, the sanitary level of the troops could reach such an astonishing standard.

And in the operation in the Jiaodong area.

The exaggerated logistical supply of the Eighth Route Army, the astonishing transportation efficiency, and the military food such as self-heating food packets and replenishment energy bars made the representatives of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union amazed again and again.

How could they, the representatives with great strategic foresight, not understand that under the influence of this small food, a huge gap in combat effectiveness will often be formed, and it can even interfere with the final trend of the balance of a large-scale war.

Kong Jie naturally has nothing to say about this, what you need will be given by our Eighth Route Army, as long as you can give what our Eighth Route Army needs.

…… The tournament and the talks between the parties were carried out in an orderly manner.

Special Experimental Area of the Eighth Route Army.

Kong Jie rarely took some leisure time, holding his son Kong Xingguo, who resonated with his blood in his arms, and wandered around the base area.

While chatting with Li Yunlong.

This cub is not yet full years old, but he is very cute, and even when a guy like Li Yunlong picks it up, he looks cautious.

In Lao Li's words: "Lao Kong, your son is really good-looking, when he grows up, he will be the same as our Lao Li, and he is also a handsome descendant of ten miles and eight towns."

Fortunately, he looks like his mother, if he looks like you Lao Kong, you're afraid that you'll be worried about how to get a wife for this kid! ”

Kong Jie replied directly: "Phew! Lao Li, just you, is you still a handsome descendant? Since we met our old comrades-in-arms, just this sentence, how many years have you been blowing?

If you are really a handsome offspring, as for being a bachelor for so many years, in the end, even Xiuqin still has to help you worry about it and help you match? ”

Li Yunlong said: "Can you blame me?" If it weren't for the daily war, if it weren't for the singles and men in the team, and even the pigs raised in the backyard were males, Lao Tzu might have a bunch of children now.

What, Lao Kong, don't you believe it?

If you don't believe it, let's see, when our son is born, he will be a handsome cub too! ”

Kong Jie said: "That has nothing to do with your Lao Li, it's all about Xiuqin's appearance!" ”

Hahahaha –

"Come on, Lao Kong, let's two pounds and eight taels, no one will laugh at anyone!"

After exchanging a few words with the old comrades-in-arms, they talked about the development of the international war situation.

Li Yunlong sighed: "Listening to the news from the international side, the Soviet army is fighting the German army in Kursk. The U.S.-Australian coalition forces in Pacific New Guinea are battling out the devils after the fortifications and troop deployments.

After one war after another, the overall international situation has basically become clear.

Lao Kong, it seems that as you said, this war may not last long, so we should work harder to completely overwhelm this little devil raised by a son of a bitch. ”

Li Yunlong said, looking at Kong Xinguo in his arms with love: "If you work hard, maybe when a little cub like our godson can run around on the ground, our new China will be officially established."

Don't look at our old Li who has fought all his life, and his eyes can light up when he sees the little devils, but to be honest, I really don't want to watch these little cubs go to the battlefield like us again! ”

Kong Jie deeply believes this, and it is difficult to appreciate the preciousness of peace without experiencing fire and sacrifice.

Li Yunlong didn't finish the rest of his words.

The transformation of the international situation, especially the evolution of this series of wars, is always unexpected.

The North African campaign was not long over.

In the end, it ended with the victory of Britain, France, the United States and other Allied countries.

The Italian side was defeated and surrendered.

But there was one thing that was accidental, like a butterfly flapping its wings, and it had a little extra effect.

The specific situation is unknown, but it seems to be generally said that since the strong rise of the Eighth Route Army and the Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States began to vigorously assist the Eighth Route Army, the German side has also begun to pay attention to such a legendary armed force born and raised in Chinese mainland.

Then the German side got some tactical information and new equipment information of the Eighth Route Army from the devils.

Then after research, there was a rather genius Xiao Dezi who flexibly used some amazing and exquisite tactics invented by the Eighth Route Army on his own battlefield.

In the middle and late stages of the battle, seeing that the general trend had gone, the German side directly came to a trick to get rid of the golden cicada, smeared the soles of the feet with oil, and then let the Italian side be the scapegoat, and the main German side was basically retained.

As for the British side, as the main force of the Allied side this time, although it won the final victory, it was also a disastrous victory, and its vitality was greatly damaged.

There is some cause and effect in this matter.

In Kong Jie's words: "The main force of the German side is retained, the allies have not collapsed, and the little devils are afraid that they will have to toss for a while, which is actually unfavorable for our entire nation." ”

The Chinese people, who have suffered from the vicissitudes of war and persecution, are eager for the next moment to be the end of the war.

"But on the other hand, because of the German threat, the Soviet side may not have the energy to recover its forces in the short term, and it will focus on the Kwantung region.

Their eventual strategic counteroffensive will most likely continue to be postponed.

For our Eighth Route Army, perhaps we will have enough time to continue to march north......"

Kanto is a big cake, there are too many guests, and the host doesn't have much to eat, so it's better to close the door and eat it slowly.

Happy New Year's Day, brothers, and everything will come true in the New Year!
