Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1739 Xinjing
The battle of Siping ended smoothly before dawn. After Li Yunlong handed over Siping's defense to the main force that followed up later, he immediately sent his troops eastward to point his troops at Xinjing.

Before that, some preparations were made: deploying the "La 5" fighter jets to Siping Airport.

This is the guarantee for mechanized troops to advance during the day, and it is also the basis for attacking Xinjing... Siping is only about 120 kilometers away from Xinjing, and the straight-line distance is only about 100 kilometers. This is within the absolute defense circle of "La 5". Pull the 5" fighter plane to Siping, and Xinjing's air supremacy will belong to the Eighth Route Army.

This is one of the reasons why Siping is important.

Winning Siping is equivalent to winning the sky of Xinjing. Whether it is the blockade of roads, railways, or information blockade of Xinjing, it all depends on the wishes of the Eighth Route Army.

Especially because the devils transferred a large number of troops away at this time, the garrison in Xinjing only had two regiments with more than 6000 troops, which made Xinjing like a fish on a chopping board for the Eighth Route Army.

But Wang Xuexin's goal is not Xinjing.

Winning Xinjing is indeed of great significance to the Eighth Route Army, because many talents and industries in the Northeast are concentrated here.

Xinjing is a special place, it was deliberately created by devils to deceive the world and the people of China.

It is said that it is deceiving the world because the devils shot many films with Xinjing as the background and pushed them to the international market.

Said it was deceiving China, and the devil tried to use Xinjing to tell the Chinese people: As long as you are willing to help them build some East Asian co-prosperity sphere, you can also move to Xinjing to live a life like this.

In order to achieve this goal, the devils do not care about the cost in Xinjing.

At this time, Xinjing can't be said to be prosperous, it can be said to be luxurious, and it can even be called the economic center of Asia:
It has the largest radio station in Asia.

It is the first city in which main road wires go into the ground, and the lighting and telecommunication routes of the main streets are all underground.

It is the city with the largest per capita green area, even 15 times that of Tokyo, and is known as the "Forest Capital".

It was also a city that popularized gas lines.

Even when the vast majority of Chinese people didn't know what a flush toilet was, Xinjing had already begun to popularize it.

However, Wang Xuexin believes that it is precisely this that makes the Eighth Route Army's capture of Xinjing uncertain.

For a long time, the reason why the Eighth Route Army has been able to win the support of the people is because the Eighth Route Army is fighting the devils from the standpoint of the poor people: Everywhere the Eighth Route Army goes, it carries out land reform movements, and the local tyrants are divided up the land to let the people be the masters of the country.

Because the Eighth Route Army is very clear that only by letting the people be the masters of the country can they know that fighting the devils is for their own land and their own interests.

If it is a model like the stubborn army... the stubborn army is fighting the world from the standpoint of the landlord class, that is, by controlling the local gentry, and then indirectly controlling the people through the hands of the squire.

This model is unlikely to win the support of the people, because in this way, the people will fight the devils with their blood and lives, and the result in exchange will be to continue to work as long-term labor for the landlords. Only those with a deep mind will be happy.

This is the main reason why the Eighth Route Army finally defeated the stubborn army.

In history, when the Eighth Route Army entered the Northeast, it was estimated that 10 new recruits would be able to be recruited, so that the higher-ups asked for another 5 troops, and the commanders of all departments showed embarrassment:
"I just finished recruiting 10 people, and now I'm recruiting another 5. Isn't that too fast?"

"Yes, are there so many sources of soldiers? Will the common people have resistance?
"I think we should take it easy!"

……

However, because of the urgent need to replenish troops after fighting the recalcitrant army, he still tried to enlist.

As a result, if you don't know what you don't know, you will be shocked.

More than 5 troops, 50 is not a problem. The number of people who signed up to join the army was one after another... Finally 47 were recruited. This is not the whole of the Northeast. The soldiers selected by the Eighth Route Army.

Some of the main divisions of the Eighth Route Army had only 2000 soldiers left before entering the Northeast. Soon after entering the Northeast, they replenished all the troops and increased to 12000, a full sixfold increase.

This kind of troop growth rate means that after fighting and fighting again, it can almost be said that it will never be finished. The growth rate is much greater than the consumption rate.
But Xinjing is different.

Xinjing is a model city for the devils. Most of the people who can live here are the bourgeoisie who succumbed to the devils, and they are the local tyrants that the Eighth Route Army wants to fight. They enjoy greening, public transportation, welfare, etc. here, and of course they don’t want all of these to be wiped out. .

Therefore, even if the Eighth Route Army can win the support of the people in China, it is an exception in Xinjing.

In history, the Eighth Route Army liberated Xinjing not by fighting, but by "surrounding rather than attacking".

The reason is that living in the bourgeoisie in Xinjing can't live a hard life, and the will to fight is not strong, so "surround but not attack" is the best way.

In the end, Xinjing was peacefully liberated after seven months of siege.

At this time, Wang Xuexin also planned to encircle but not attack.

Don't look at the devils stationed in Xinjing, there are only two wings with more than 6000 people.

The reason why this force is easy to fight in other cities is because the devils do not have the support of the people, no matter whether it is the source of soldiers, food or intelligence, they are unable to continue, and they even have to face uprisings one after another.

But they may get the support of the people in Xinjing, and the puppet army with a strength of more than [-] people may also fight for the devils wholeheartedly, and they can even find a source of troops from the people to quickly expand their scale.

At this time, Xinjing had a population of 120 million. If the conscription rate was calculated at 10:1, Xinjing could pull up an army of 10,000+ at any time.

Wang Xuexin did not want to see this scene.

If a strong attack on Xinjing is launched at this time, it is very likely that the devils and the bourgeoisie in Xinjing will unite to "same hatred", and Xinjing will become a piece of iron that cannot be chewed.

Instead, they besieged rather than attacked...

Xinjing will encounter the same problems in history: the bourgeoisie cannot endure the long-term shortage of resources, their will to fight is not strong, and their stand is not firm. There will inevitably be resource competition between the bourgeoisie and the devils, and thus conflicts will arise.

It will be much easier to fight Xinjing at this time, and it can even be won without bloodshed.

Since this is the case, why should Wang Xuexin be in a hurry?
As for the devil's reinforcements... As long as the Eighth Route Army controls the access to Xinjing's energy and resources, no matter how many devils enter Xinjing, they will starve to death?
Therefore, Wang Xuexin turned his attention to the Fengman Hydropower Station, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Xinjing.
