Chapter 14: Why Things Are Always So Bad in the South
After repeated blows, Chu Yunfei had to admit that he, an outstanding graduate of the fifth phase of Huangpu, completely lost to a grassroots who had never even attended a martial arts hall.
Plagued by his self-esteem, he hastily ended the exchange trip. Li Zhao and the others also wanted to train paratroopers, so naturally they didn't keep it.
Looking at the back of the new second regiment gradually leaving under the escort of the guard platoon, Zhao Gang said with interest:
"Lao Li, how do I feel that this song Chu Yunfei wants to recruit you? But he's quite interesting, different from the generals of the Jin Sui Army who have come into contact with him in the past. ”
"I can clearly feel the other party's determination to resist Japan, and in a sense, he is also a tiger general."
Hearing the words of his own political commissar, Grand Master Li nodded. In general, Chu Yunfei is quite right, otherwise he would not have changed his attitude.
The intention of the other party to solicit is quite obvious, but due to the unequal strength of the two sides. In this case, the solicitation is completely self-inflicted.
"We're growing by leaps and bounds, which isn't a good thing for those friendly forces. If it weren't for the fact that our Eighth Route Army has always been fighting with little devils, it is estimated that people will be backstabbed again. ”
"I can see that Yan Laoxi's purpose should be to let us lose both with the enemy, and then he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."
"In this way, not only can you recover the lost ground, but you will not be saddled with the infamy of fighting in the nest. can only be said to be worthy of being a master of existentialism, and the little abacus in his heart is crackling. ”
What Li Yunlong can see, Zhao Gang naturally understands.
The headquarters approved the exchange plan of the Jin Suijun, to put it bluntly, to take advantage of all opportunities, even if it was very unlikely, to try to win allies.
Uniting all forces that can be united is the purpose that has been carried out since the outbreak of war.
The Jin Sui Army wanted to use the Eighth Route Army, but why not on their own.
With confidence in his own strength, the deputy commander-in-chief's response was to break through ten thousand laws with one force! He was ready to recover all the lost territory in Jin Province in one go before Yan Laoxi could change his mind.
With the 50,000 men of the Jin Sui army alone, it is absolutely impossible to hold all the areas. It's a big deal to let Taiyuan out, anyway, it's not a particularly important strategic location.
Unlike short-sighted people like Fang Ligong, after the end of this Hundred Regiments War, Zhao Gang had already seen the weakness of the little devil and the dawn of victory.
For the enemy, it is inevitable that sooner or later he will collapse if he cannot make ends meet, and the weak counterattack in the third stage has exposed everything.
"After driving out the devils, there will be a battle between the two armies. It was a war that determined the direction of the future, and it was also a war in which each had different ideas. ”
"Okay, Lao Zhao, don't think too much. We still have a long way to go. ”
"Good"

Looking back at the border area, the Yellow River has been dying of sorrow in the past few days.
As a traverser, he began to prepare for war before he left Dabie Mountain. From 1927 to the present, he can feel his conscience and say that he has always worked hard.
But there's one thing that's really not easy to handle.
Why things are always so bad in Spain, this sentence can be applied to the New Fourth Army to some extent.
People who are extremely strong in their hearts don't matter even if they are temporarily weak. They will take every opportunity to enrich themselves, try to become stronger, and one day they will strike a fatal blow at their enemies.
This is why the Eighth Route Army can develop from 40,000 people during the eastward crossing of the Yellow River to a force of more than 300,000 people in four years.
The chaotic intrusion of the Yellow River only made the life of the troops better and their combat effectiveness stronger.
Even without him, the comrades could still break through under difficult conditions and finally drive out the invaders.
Of course, we have to admit that the smooth development is affected by some geographical factors.
After all, most of the provinces in Jin Province were occupied areas, and the three major base areas of the Eighth Route Army were all snatched from the enemy. It's always right to fight devils, and it's my own ability to open up a base area.
But there is something wrong with the inside, and the person is still very weak on the outside. No matter how you help him, the most you can do is hold a breath.
This can be seen from the development of the troops, and the growth of the strength of the New Fourth Army from 1937 to the present has been relatively slow.
However, this did not prevent the Yellow River from preparing supplies for them, and those were all soldiers who had survived three years of brutal guerrilla warfare, and many of them were veterans of a hundred battles who had broken through several layers of blockade lines.
As long as they have advanced weapons, they will inevitably be able to cause even greater trouble to the devils in central China.
What's more, after persisting in fighting for so long in the deep mountains and old forests, it's time to live an old life. In the past, it was a long way to go, but now we can do our best!
As for the rest, it depends on the will of God, anyway, the worst result is not broken or established.
Thinking of this, Huang He left his room and went straight to the director's office. After entering the door, he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point to explain his intentions.
"Lao Zeng, how many light weapons are in stock in the border area now, and how many troops can be armed at one time?"
Seeing that the Yellow River is so serious, there is no more cynicism in the past. Without saying a word, the director took out a notepad from the drawer and began to check, and the tacit understanding between the two was clear at a glance.
"There are only more than 50,000 rifles left, mainly because they were used to ransom people some time ago. There were 2,300 light machine guns, which was enough to support three divisional units of normal strength. ”
"But there are fewer submachine guns and heavy machine guns, after all, the production line has only been out for a long time. The former has a thousand in the warehouse, and the latter has four hundred. ”
"All the guns have absolutely enough bullets, and it's no problem to fight another battle of 100 regiments. There is no shortage of two types of grenades, and we have this thing. ”
"However, the number of grenadiers and 60mm mortars is somewhat small, although our bureau has mastered the technology of producing seamless steel pipes, but unfortunately the focus of recent work has been on heavy machine guns."
The result directly made Huang He gasp, he didn't expect that his side was already so strong unconsciously, and the current inventory was the result of throwing away wartime attrition
This figure seems unremarkable, but compared with the production capacity of the whole country, it is already very unremarkable.
According to historical records, the period from 1937 to 1945 was eight years. A total of 803,000 rifles were lost in the major theaters, with an average annual loss of about 100,000 rifles.
In addition to its own forces, the production capacity of preserved fruit can only ensure that 70,000 rifles are replenished every year, which means that there is still a shortage of 30,000 that needs to rely on international assistance.
At present, the logistics department of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi Province, the military industry bureau in the border area, and the military factories in the Yellow River system alone can exceed the production capacity of the entire preserved fruit.
Even the three arsenals of Taiyuan, Fengtian, and Jinling at their peak together could not compare with their own side, and they could be included in the key targets of attack on the European battlefield.
Looking at the stunned Yellow River, the director showed a satisfied smile.
"You must be preparing to support the south, right? With that air train you said? ”
"I remember you said that the next batch of planes will arrive in the border area on December 23. In this way, there are still some things, and it is possible to seize the time to produce more heavy machine guns and mortars.
"The overall number of weapons and ammunition can be increased by a few percent, and then it will depend on the carrying efficiency of the Air Force."
Dealing with smart people is to save trouble, and you don't need to understand things thoroughly, and the other party can understand what you mean.
To support the plan in the south, Huang He had already passed the gas with his superiors on the day he returned to the border area. Even if there are some discrepancies in ideas, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat.
With the ability to support, there is no reason to save that little weapon.
"Good! I'll leave the production to you. I went to discuss the transportation route with the Air First Division, which was a nuisance. ”
The area of the Republic of China is really too large, and the straight-line distance from the border area to southern Anhui is more than 1,200 kilometers.
Although the range of the Spitfire and the C47 transport aircraft with auxiliary fuel tanks is sufficient, except for the six combat heroes, the remaining fighters have little experience in piloting, and it is better to arrange a transfer on the way.
Fortunately, the Yellow River has taken precautions and has long taken into account the logistics of inter-provincial operations.
When he unlocked the decision of "30 million Jade Dragons of Aircraft", he spread the arrangement of building field airfields to the base areas of various provinces.
Now you only need to choose a relatively safe route, after all, Xiao Ri would never have imagined that there is already an air force in the border area, and you can even use transport planes to support friendly forces across levels.
What's more, their army aviation wants to save fuel, and they will not patrol and patrol if they have nothing to do.
————
The capital of the southwest, in a luxurious manor.
At this time, the bald head was happily drinking boiled water, and the international status of preserved fruits had recently climbed to the peak, which made him feel extremely good.
After Xiao Ri received three red punches in North China, he was deeply aware that he was deeply mired in the quagmire of war and could not get out.
Unable to monetize the occupied territories, they are now anxious to end the war against China.
In order to show goodwill, the devils even withdrew their troops from Longzhou and Nanning.
However, the bald head has been dragging on, because now the situation in the world has evolved into an alliance led by Britain and Ugly against the Axis powers led by Germany, Italy and Japan.
The two camps are constantly in conflict, and people's brains are about to become dog brains.
And the Asian theater was important for both sides, and it was about the Allied colonies and the offensive options of the Axis powers. Once Xiaori gets out of the battlefield of the Republic of China, the threat caused by it is not something that the Allies can bear.
In view of the above situation, both camps are taking out practical benefits to fight for the Republic of China. As an old fritter who has been in the stock market for many years, it must be sold at a price.
However, the bald head already had the final choice in his heart, and he demanded that Xiao Ri return the area he was currently occupying, and at most allow the other party to return to the state before 1937.
This kind of harsh conditions are unacceptable, and it is impossible to give up easily when you finally hit the inland. If the troops are withdrawn directly, those crazy low-level soldiers will definitely go berserk.
Things developed like this, and the bald head could only hug the thighs of Ying and Chouguo.
But these true thoughts must not be made known to the Allies. If the firm determination to resist Japan is known to others, then the aid will definitely be reduced, and it will not be at the mercy of others like Zesheng in later generations.
But the preserved fruit can wait, but the bearded man can't wait. He knows his own family affairs, and he has no bottom in the face of his neighbors.
I learned that the mustache took the lead in preparing to mediate the war.,And the book looks quite sincere.。 He immediately sent two waves of aid materials directly, just to stabilize his bald head and let him not vote.
That little day was a rabid dog, and once it was attacked by Germany and Japan, the consequences were unimaginable.
And the essence of all this has been seen through by the wolf of the Huangpu River. He even had the kung fu to remind Daiying to let the other party worry less about the affairs of the European continent.
Thinking of this, the bald head showed a bright smile, as if everything was under control. He looked like a sunny and cheerful big boy at the busy secretary on the side.
"Well, don't look at all the news about Soviet-German relations, it's all fake. Now there is no confidence in the north, otherwise they would not be in such a hurry to transport supplies to us. ”
"If the two parties really have a good relationship, there is no need to tell others about it, you must know that they used to make a fortune secretly. Let's still appear on the same stage with the Eighth Route Army, is the relationship between the two sides very good? ”
"No matter how things turn out, we're going to have a lot of new weapons. Through the negotiations a few days ago, I even won the assistance of the Air Force, and now there is no real need to cooperate with the desperate war fox. ”
This point made several secretaries and staff nods, and the two sides could not be inherently close.
In the past, there was a common enemy who had to join forces, but now with strong reinforcements, it is natural to kick them away.
However, it is not easy to completely tear the skin now, after all, public opinion is also a big force, but it is necessary to strictly prevent the other party from developing and growing, not to mention that some time ago, people also made a big move in the south.
There was one thing that everyone present didn't think about, that is, they themselves were not authentic first. Obviously, it was a joint war of resistance, but Guo Guo had to draw a prescribed defense area for the New Fourth Army.
This piece of land is surrounded by the Central Army on three sides, and on the other side is the devil on the other side of the river, isn't it Sima Zhao's heart that everyone knows?
A few months ago, when the first and second detachments of the New Fourth Army went north and established a base in northern Jiangsu, there was a little friction with the local defenders.
Because the combat effectiveness of the defenders was too poor, they were finally defeated.
However, in Guo Zhuo's view, this matter is the first hand of the New Fourth Army. They don't care about the cause or process, and they always only have the result in their eyes.
It's very unpleasant to mention the bald head in the south, and he has heard the cries in the army recently. Thinking of the Hundred Regiment Battle launched by the Eighth Route Army in North China, the 105 regiments made everyone very jealous.
After thinking for a while, he walked to a map of the deployment of troops in Central China, and looked at the location of southern Anhui with a fierce face.
Although his military level is very average, the most basic situation can still be seen clearly. A large number of troops on the other side are disjointed and surrounded by their own.
"Aren't they still nearly 10,000 people here? I really don't know what those people think? Do you have to leave me a big dumpling to eat? ”
"Herald! Prepare the Commander of the 3rd Theater of Operations and the Commander-in-Chief of the 32nd Army! Mobilize troops at any time and prepare to encircle and annihilate! ”
Hey, 4,000 words and more than half of them have to be rewritten, and I'm annoyed.
A small plot was directly scrapped and could only be brushed aside.
There is one more chapter in the early hours of the morning, and I continue to write.
(End of chapter)
