Chapter 255: Thinking about next year
Sending Commander Feng away, looking at the calendar, less than three months will pass this year. After thinking about what I have done this year, although my contribution to the war is stronger than last year, it is not satisfactory after all, and I feel constrained in doing things, and I am suffering from gains and losses. That's it, what I can still remember this year is that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, I can't help myself, just go to Xinjiapo to bring Zhang Ashui to the United States, and it will be up to him to live or die in the future. The rest of the country depends on Commander Feng's.
There are still a lot of big things to remember next year.
With the Japanese occupation of Southeast Asia, one was the Japanese occupation of Malaysia; One was the Japanese invasion of Burma, which caused the Chinese Expeditionary Force to fight abroad for the first time; The Japanese devils fought in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, winning at Pearl Harbor, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Burma. The British, American and Chinese armies that fought were almost powerless to fight back! This one has prepared a little cinchona, jungle combat and survival, the Chinese army has not been trained, and I need to extract the content written to the scouts and organize it into a separate book. If people are willing, they can organize a team of coaches from Xinjiapo to appoint them.
The anti-Japanese resistance at home has become even more difficult, and the nationwide food crisis, especially the great famine in Henan, has caused millions of deaths. I don't know how to deal with it myself, and just providing dollars won't solve the problem! Let's go back to the United States and ask grandpa for this question!
I don't remember much about international events. I don't know much about the war process on the Soviet side, but I know that the Soviet Union has now stabilized its position, and I only know that it was not until the end of the Battle of Stalingrad that the crisis was really overcome.
In the Pacific, the Battle of Midway contained the Japanese offensive, and I couldn't interfere with this!
The main task of returning to the United States is to inspect factories in various places, and as for the support of the US government, I am afraid that it is necessary to arrange the purchase of some US defense bonds, which I will discuss with Isaac, and the other is to increase investment in research and development in important industries.
Digging out the special operations manual he had written, in his previous life, he took a company of scouts to participate in training in the Yunnan area, and after training for more than half a year, he had some things that had not been in actual combat, and it was inevitable that there would be omissions in memory. Except for the team in Xinjiapo, the northern team has no chance to train at all, and it is estimated that their level is even higher than their own. Read the manuscript carefully, the characteristics of the jungle environment, the necessary equipment and rust prevention in the jungle, the jungle march and formation, the communication methods in the jungle, the offensive tasks in the jungle, the defense tasks in the jungle, the setting of jungle traps, the survival methods of the jungle and the identification of edible plants and drinking water, insect and miasma prevention and necessary medicines, etc.
It was originally specially prepared for scouts, and was used by large-scale armies, and needed to be greatly modified. At the very least, it is necessary to increase the allocation of firepower, the characteristics of camp settings, the common tactics of the jungle, and the configuration of weapons and equipment.
After all, there is a basic manuscript, and if you need to make changes, you can do it yourself, and you don't need to change it, and give it to Daria to copy it again. The husband and wife cooperated, and the men and women worked together without getting tired, and it was completed in just one day, with the title of the book "Jungle Warfare Manual", but there was no writer. Let Li Mingyu arrange for an expedited printing of 2,200 copies. I brought 100 copies to Xinjiapo and left 100 copies for my husband.
Check out the Equipment section. In terms of equipment, it is best to have a large number of assault rifles, grenades, mortars and light machine guns; A machete is a must, a rope must be 1 and a half meters per person, a compass is a must, and fish skin. I am afraid that the Kuomintang government may not be willing to give them these things, although they are descendant troops.
In my previous life, I not only studied this battle case in school, but also watched memoirs, TV dramas, and so on. The first time I went abroad to fight, I was in a hurry to prepare; The combat environment is unfamiliar from top to bottom; The friendly army has no desire to fight and only wants to retreat, and does not cooperate; More importantly, the top-level command is chaotic and strives for power and profit; The lax reconnaissance of the enemy's situation and the monitoring of the enemy's movements led to the cutting off of the rear route. The Chinese army suffered nearly 60,000 casualties, and only more than 10,000 British troops returned to India from more than 40,000; The Japanese suffered less than 5,000 casualties; was beaten by the devil one to sixteen. There is also the "Savage Mountain" that Chinese will never forget and feel sad when they think about it.
Sigh deeply, Lao Tzu prepare some for them, don't expect those corrupt officials! Drew a machete diagram, at least two in a class, 20,000! 20,000 compasses! 150,000 meters of rope! 10 tons of sulfur powder, 100,000 ponchos. I don't think these things are worth a million dollars.
According to the 20 percent amount, the Xinjiapo guerrillas were given an additional 2,000 short-bullet automatic rifles and 200,000 rounds of ammunition. The Xinjiapo guerrillas need to prepare for the war with all their might. A telegram of the list was sent to Woody for procurement, and the drawings were carried by transport plane to the Indian arsenal.
On the afternoon of the 8th, all the materials sent by Woody arrived at the base, and the field workers needed to take them out, and they also needed to reinstall the plane and hang the parachute. After consulting with Commander Feng, it was determined that all Yunmeng Mountain would be airdropped on the night of the 9th. The first telegram asked Ma Biao what fuse he needed, wrapped it for him individually, and told him that it would be airdropped tomorrow night, and that 1,000 of the rockets were for him; Others need his cooperation in receiving and distributing the Eighth Route Army.
Ma Biao called back and said that it would be enough to have rockets and artillery shells, and the arsenal in Yunmengshan could meet his needs more than enough. Looking at the telegram and nodding unconsciously, it seems that Ma Biao is really not a stingy person!
"Mr. Wan'an. Tomorrow night, 5 million grenades, 3 million mines, 900,000 rocket launchers, 1 million mortar shells and other fuses will be airdropped, and weapons drawings will be provided for reference. Please arrange personnel to hand over to Ma Biao. The opportunity to go abroad recently, and I expect to return to China early next year. Worship the truth. ”
It wasn't until almost ten o'clock in the evening that I saw my husband call back: "Very good! Arranged. Cun Zhen has a safe journey. ”
Four transport planes were seen taking off under fighter escort. When he returned to his office, he instructed Lieutenant Yin to send a telegram to Shen Zui, asking him to come tomorrow. Let Li Mingyu telegraph to inform Woody that he is going to India on the 10th or 11th, hoping to meet Woody in India. Both people replied by telegram that they agreed.
Shen Zui arrived in the afternoon, and it seems that he came with a meal. The wine still has to be drunk by the family, and after a few drinks in the reception room, people directly asked: "Mr. Li, what is the important news this time?" ”
"There is no news, this time you are here to transport books, a booklet I wrote, there is no signature, you don't mention me." Pointing to the packaged book next to him.
Shen Zui was disappointed and said, "Just send someone to get it!" Why bother me to rush for a run? ”
"Lieutenant Yin, you take out a copy and show it to him!"
Shen Zui quickly flipped through the pages, read the places of interest again, frowned and said: "It's not bad to train the military command guerrillas, I took it out earlier." ”
"It has been written a long time ago, and it has been kept strictly secret, only a single book, and others can only pass it on orally."
"What's the point of taking it out now?"
He took a sip of himself slowly and drunk: "I already said it last time, the little devil is going south, it is certain." You think about whether they will attack Burma or not? ”
Shen drunken shook his hand and spilled half of the wine in the cup at once.
"When will you attack?"
"I don't know! Inevitable things, specific times don't make much sense. As long as there is a difference between being ready and not being prepared, it is estimated that the top management has already expected and planned. ”
"There are British troops in Burma, and it is not our turn yet."
"Yes! If you want to go in now, people won't let you! It's just that you think that their pampered old soldiers in Burma can withstand the Japanese? ”
Shen Zui thought about it, shook his head, and drank a glass of wine with a depressed look.
This guy knows something, and he keeps his mouth tight! He continued to ask: "China, the United States, and Britain are already allies, and when the British can't bear it, you won't watch it anyway, right?" What's more, now we still need people, and it's also about our foreign aid channel! ”
