On February 18, 1941, Qijiang County, the headquarters of the 68th Division was provisionally organized

"The main reason is that the training of our army in Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu and Henan has not been completed, otherwise Shinozuka Yoshio's Goryeo soldiers are really not enough." Li Yunlong's face was full of regret and contempt, the Eighth Route Army's training standards were much higher than those of the Shancheng government, and its equipment, training, and food were not weaker than those of the Japanese army in North China, and as long as the training was completed, it was only a matter of time before an overwhelming advantage over the Japanese army was formed.

"Lao Li, you are a little blindly optimistic, we can keep up with the Japanese army in the army, but we can't catch up in a short time if the devil has something in the sea and air, and even the army can't catch up overnight, artillery, armored troops, engineers and other technical arms need to be accumulated and explored." Ding Wei is not so optimistic, he has been weak and poor for decades, where can he catch up in a short time?

"Not only that, but there is also a medical system, the devil's military doctor is delegated to the squad, and the brigade can be equipped with a small military hospital, but what about us, the main regiment only has a few hygienists, and the backbone regiment has no hair, if it weren't for the good medicines that Brother Wang got this year, it is estimated that even the headquarters hospital is not as good as the brigade infirmary." Kong Jie said on the side.

"Didn't you say that the headquarters has built more than a dozen training schools to train medical personnel?" Li Yunlong was puzzled: After the provisional 68th Division came to Shancheng, it continued to replenish its technical personnel, and naturally there were medical personnel, and his current medical personnel had all reached the company platoon level, and the division's field hospital still had the ability to decentralize the field medical center to the company platoon level at any time, and there were all kinds of small medical boats, ambulances, and medical vehicles.

"Training? Training needs qualified teachers and qualified students, and you don't know how high the illiteracy rate of our Eighth Route Army is, and the soldiers who come out of the literacy class are not very good, the army is building on a large scale, there is a serious shortage of intellectuals, and the medical training school of Kang Da cannot recruit students at all. Kong Jie told what he knew.

"The medical rescue capacity is not good, once we fight with the devil, our casualties will definitely be much larger, this must be what the superiors do not want to see, and we are expanding the army, are the devils idle? Yoshio Shinozuka's 'that' Goryeo soldiers were trained according to the A division, one division man, 140-149 divisions, a full 250,000 army troops, and an army air force stacked with retired aircraft, not to mention overwhelming us, it was enough to offset a large part of our advantage. Ding Wei said worriedly on the side, Yoshio Shinozuka expanded the army like crazy, and in order to expand the army, the land in the occupied area was about to be scraped out of sparks.

"Lao Ding, you haven't counted the Yamamoto troops in Yamamoto Kazuki's hands, but the superiors have reported that Yamamoto Kazuki has formed twenty new 'Iron and Stone Wings', and their combat effectiveness is even stronger than Shinozuka Yoshio's Goryeo Division." Kong Jie continued to add that the so-called Iron and Stone Wing is a new wing formed by Yamamoto Kazuki with the good people of Hei Province as the main force, with 4,500 people in one wing and more than 90,000 people in 20 wings, and this is only the current situation that the Ministry of Social Affairs has mastered.

"Damn, I still think the war is about to end, can you two not pour cold water here?" Li Yunlong was a little frustrated, and he understood what the two said, but he didn't think about it so much.

"It's good enough, in the past, the devils were absolutely fighting us if they wanted to, and a brigade dared to go deep into the hinterland of the base area to sweep, but now, we can be evenly matched with the devils by relying on geographical conditions, and when we sweep, the devils are embarrassed to move a brigade." Ding Wei said with a smile.

"A brigade? The Jiaodong Army Division and the Sulu Theater mobilized more than 8,000 people to attack Qindao, and the devils mobilized nearly 100,000 troops of the Japanese puppet army to counterattack, and also mobilized a large number of naval and air force coordination, which you dared to think in the past? Or an army of 100,000 people, a brigade they dare to counterattack, believe it or not? Kong Jie laughed as he spoke, the first battle of Qindao, the loss of the devil was absolutely broken, it is said that only the loss of military materials is a campaign, just the poor military expenses of the devil, can not save a few campaign materials in a year.

For example, in 1939, Japan's military expenditure was about 1.9 billion US dollars, which is more than 5 billion yen when converted into yen, and more than one-third of it was the military expenditure of the navy, and the military expenditure of the million-devil army was more than 3 billion yen.

"Lack of confidence, to put it bluntly, the devil is not good, in the past, a devil's training bombs for a month were about 150 rounds, but now, less than ten training bombs a month are secretly taken out by the devil to exchange for food, the food is worse than ours, black beans, soybean meal, sorghum rice is also counted, it is said that in Lu Province, you can see groups of Korean soldiers digging wild vegetables, and the daily ration is two wild vegetable dumplings and a piece of salted fish." Ding Weidao, the devils have eaten like this, and the puppet army has eaten even worse, just like this big counteroffensive, anyway, the puppet army troops are hundreds of thousands, and in many places, as long as the national army shows up, the puppet army will take the initiative to cooperate with the national army to destroy the devils.

Just like Wuhan, although Zhang Zhonglin did not occupy Guishan, there was still a puppet army unit rushing up, and until now it is still exchanging fire with the Sixth Division, using the strong fortifications built by the previous dynasty, it is a draw with the Sixth Division, and it is estimated that it will not be able to end in a short time.

"On the one hand, fighting a war is courage, manpower, but it is also national strength, it is comprehensive national strength, and the strength of the devil is only relative to us, once our strength is enhanced, they will immediately be weak, look at it, the devil is estimated to open up a second battlefield." Li Yunlong saw this very accurately, and when he was in Hans, he also discussed with the air marshal, and the two agreed that the devil would open a second battlefield in 1941, and it was very likely that he would make more outrageous decisions.

"I'm not optimistic that the devils will go north, the devils are frightened by the alliance, not to mention, in the past few years, the Kwantung Army has been continuously transferred to fight in the south, and the military strength of the four eastern provinces is not comparable to that time in 1939 at all, if you really do it, there is a high probability that you will still be beaten on the ground." Ding Wei analyzed.

"To the south? No, I'm going south to face off against Bald Eagles. Listening to the words of these two, Kong Jie only felt a breath of cold air, what is in the south, that is the Bald Eagle and Britain, that is the world's first and second navy, that is the most powerful industrial machine and military machine in the world, even if Britain is going downhill, but isn't there still a Bald Eagle?

"We will never understand the world of madmen, just like you can never guess Li Yunlong's strategic concept." Ding Wei quipped on the side.

"Lao Ding, you!" Li Yunlong's temperament.
