When war starts, a country can control when it starts, but it's hard to say it's over.

After experiencing the Black Ship Incident, Xiaori also wants to move towards modernization. However, the mainland is an island country, and they have to face the problem of shortage of various strategic resources.

So these madmen came up with a way to think they could change their fate. That is to raise the strength of the whole country, tighten the belt and gamble on the national fortune.

This trick really made these madmen taste the sweetness, and in the war with the Qing, Xiao Ri received a large amount of compensation and division of land.

This made the domestic industry develop rapidly after the First Sino-Japanese War, and many famous companies in later generations were founded during that period.

Moreover, after the government had war reparations, the banks not only dared to over-issue money, but also lowered the loan requirements of the people, which greatly stimulated the economy.

This kind of primitive accumulation full of blood is naturally a taste of marrow for small days. When they want to pull off another miracle, they encounter an opponent who is more tough than them.

Although the Russo-Japanese War was won in a small day, people have always been dissatisfied with it. If you lose, you lose, and you don't pay if you die. This once made Xiao Baga's domestic economy almost collapse.

At the end of the day, these madmen decided to gamble again! On the one hand, in order to stimulate the economy by military spending, by the way, to divert domestic contradictions, and on the other hand, in order to gain benefits by relying on military victories.

After thinking about it again, they looked at the country that had once raised their hands, and there was no more suitable choice than the Republic of China, which had been in war for many years and was strong in the outside world.

But good fortune doesn't favor animals forever, and this little day has encountered a new problem, and this problem is almost unsolvable.

When they came to the Republic of China, they found that under the miraculous operation of the transportation captain, although the appearance of the so-called golden decade was glamorous, the society did not achieve substantial development.

The country's heavy industry system has not developed much, but certain groups have made a lot of money.

Although they occupied the vast northeast, they did not get the strategic materials they needed most, and they could not explore oil at the time of their technological level.

This shattered the idea of fighting for war, and the captain did not surrender in name for various reasons, and they could not get compensation.

In addition, in order to win the war, the middle and lower strata of all the troops have been completely brainwashed by the doctrine of country J, and they shout every day that they want to establish a co-prosperity circle in East Asia.

At this time, it was impossible for the pace of war to stop, and most of the high-level leaders were already riding tigers.

After all, in the eyes of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, the enemy has lost even the capital, and the fruits of victory are about to come. At this time, if anyone dares to say that the scale of the war cannot be expanded any longer, it will be accepted when it is good.

The traditional craftsmanship of the army will go down to the top and go alone to understand it, and directly give you a heavenly thief!

Therefore, the scale of the whole war is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no hope of recovering the cost, let alone making money. In order to keep the war machine moving, the devils can only plunder the land of China.

But such a reckless sucking of blood on the territory of other countries will only stimulate the blood of the local population.

Even those honest people who do not dare to fight the enemy head-on will provide certain help to the armies of the major theaters.

And in order to start a war, the devils used all the materials and money they had looted to buy oil, steel, and rubber. As a result, they have no way to turn military victories into economic rewards, and they can only sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of war.

So their army top brass can only continue to attack inland without digesting the current occupied areas.

When the battle line was lengthened, the drawbacks of the lack of small places were immediately exposed. This kind of behavior of taking too big a step and pulling the egg will only lead the situation into a vicious circle.

With the above situation as the background, Jingcheng Coal Mine, as a famous coal-producing area in North China, naturally entered the field of vision of Xiaori.

After the fall of Shimen, these greedy creatures quickly expanded westward, claiming the entire mining area for themselves and mining it like crazy.

As one of the three major coal mines in the Republic of China, more than 6,000 tons of coal are produced from here every day.

In order to strengthen the plundering of materials, the devils even repaired the Zhengtai line, which greatly increased the transportation volume.

The resources mined from the Jingcheng coal mine are not only high-yielding, but also of very good quality. After these coal mines are transported to Anshan, Beiping, and Shimen, a large number of strategic materials can be obtained after processing.

For the Eighth Route Army, the more important it is for your devils, the greater the strategic significance.

Therefore, in the operational plan set by the General Headquarters, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has two main objectives in this Zhengtailu sabotage operation.

One is the Niangzi Pass in charge of the Fifth Regiment and the Independent Regiment, which is a key node of the Zhengtai Line, and the transportation capacity of the railway devils will be greatly reduced.

Although this place is very important for devils, there are no cities around where devils are heavily stationed. If the enemy wants to come for reinforcements, it can only be by rail.

Considering that there were only two squadrons of the enemy at Niangzi Pass, the deputy division commander was originally ready to deploy only one regiment.

The reason why the independent regiment was borrowed was also to prevent accidents, after all, if any section of the railway was not destroyed, the leakage of enemy reinforcements would cause problems for the attacking troops.

This decision proved to be a very far-sighted arrangement.

The two regiment commanders, Kong and Chen, cooperated tacitly and completed the task excellently. The damage at Niangzi Pass even exceeded the original expectations, and the casualties on their own side were well controlled.

Another target is the Jingcheng Coal Mine.

In the plan, the timing of the attack of the two targets should be consistent. After all, when the troops are sufficient, a multi-front offensive will definitely have a lot of benefits.

This mining area is very important for the entire invading Japanese army, and once it is attacked, the little devils nearby will definitely support it quickly.

Unlike Niangziguan, this mine is only more than 40 kilometers away from Shimen City, and this area is a key place for devils to station.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this operation, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region dispatched four regiments of troops, and the new regiment led by Ding Wei was among them.

These four regiments performed their respective duties, some surrounded the point to send reinforcements, and some attacked frontally.

In order to allow the troops of tens of thousands of people to be fully commanded and mobilized, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region handed over command to the commander of the first sub-district.

If Kong Jie is standing like a minion in the headquarters, then this Commander Yang has a certain right to speak wherever he goes.

Everyone was convinced by this arrangement, after all, the four regiment leaders were not a little worse than each other in terms of qualifications or achievements.

This fierce man has been very conscious since he was a child, and he read a lot of progressive books during his school years.

At the age of sixteen, he participated in activities in western Fujian, and then joined the organization and became the first group of backbone fighters of the Fourth Front Army.

In the early days of the army, the workers and peasants were the backbone of the army, and they held up the sky. But the problem with this is that the level of education of the comrades is generally low.

Insisting on educating people with culture is the basic concept of the army, and before joining the army, our fierce people were good students of the provincial middle school.

Coupled with his own excellent thinking, this gave him the opportunity to show his strength during that period. No matter what the difficult task is, it can be overcome under the leadership of the fierce man.

Therefore, leaders at all levels like him very much, and let the other party replace those who are temporarily short of cadres. In this way, he stumbled all the way to the period of strategic transfer, and the fierce man has become a regiment-level political commissar.

In the army, many political commissars are all-rounders who can write and fight. Not only are they very good at political work, but they also have a lot of experience in fighting wars.

The troops led by this fierce man have always served as the vanguard regiment, and his famous battles to capture the XX Bridge and the surprise attack on Lazikou are what happened during this period.

With the enemy in front and the pursuers behind, their regiment achieved the miracle of marching 120 kilometers in one day and night, opening up a passage for the large army to cross the natural danger.

This battle is known to all later generations, and it is recorded in history books and language books.

Lazikou is more classic, although this natural danger is not as famous as a certain bridge, but the difficulty of the attack is not lower than the former.

The fierce man knows that this place cannot be attacked by force, but can only be outwitted, otherwise even if it is defeated, it will suffer heavy losses. So he concentrated the leggings of the whole regiment and twisted them into several long ropes, and used these things as ladders to climb the mountain.

In the end, under the cover of the frontal troops, the assault team successfully completed the flank raid, officially opening up this new style of play.

By 1937, after the official outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Due to the insufficient establishment of the preserved fruit, he could only become the commander of the independent regiment of the 115th Division, but the situation of this independent regiment was much better than that of Kong Jie.

After all, the fierce man has been the political commissar of the division, although he has the name of the basic regiment, but the development of the army is no different from the main regiment, and there is even more subjective initiative tacitly acquiesced by the superiors.

During the Battle of Pingxingguan, he led his troops directly behind enemy lines, successfully cut off the transportation line of the devils, and won the opportunity for the large army to annihilate the enemy.

In the days that followed, the fierce man fully demonstrated his developmental abilities.

In just two years, the team was brought from 1,700 to 7,000 people, and the name of the First Independent Division of the Eighth Route Army fell on the head of this unit.

Sakata Nobuzhe, whom Li Yunlong defeated, has the "good name" of the flower of the locust, a title originally given to the guerrilla tactics master Abe Hideki.

But it was such a miraculous general who made Xiao Ri blow that was killed by the fierce man with his own troops in the Loess Ridge. Whoever became a fake expert like Abe Hideki met a real master, and his result was only a dead end.

And this flower of the locust army is much more valuable than Sakata Nobutsu, he is a lieutenant general like the sword master Yoshio Shinozuka.

Such a luxurious lineup is used to attack the Jingcheng Coal Mine, and the deputy division commander can unceremoniously say that this battle will be won.

Here it is, there should be two more chapters in the evening
