Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 673
Tan Zhiming's analysis is in place. The Eighth Route Army occupied a considerable part of Yuncheng because of no other choice.

If you want better equipment, you need copper and iron. If you need copper and iron, you must defend Zhongtiao Mountain. If you want to defend Zhongtiao Mountain, you must occupy Yuncheng...

Step by step in this way, it has developed into the current situation.

At this time, it is obviously not correct to say that the Eighth Route Army has the upper hand.

It can even be said that the Eighth Route Army is more dangerous than before.

Although the Eighth Route Army used to be tough and weak due to poor equipment, they built fortifications in mountainous areas. If they couldn’t defend themselves, they could escape into the mountainous areas to fight guerrillas with devils. Luliang Mountain is 80 to 120 kilometers wide and 400 kilometers long. Moreover, there are places with peaks of 2000 meters above sea level everywhere, and the devils can't find anything after searching for months.

But now, the Eighth Route Army has turned from the dark to the bright.

Yuncheng has become a place that must be defended. The devils do not need to go into the mountains to search for the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but only need to concentrate their forces to attack Yuncheng.

Can the other Eighth Route Army sit back and watch Yuncheng be besieged?
Can you watch Yuncheng fall?

Of course not!
So batch after batch of reinforcements came up, going forward one after another... So the right to choose the battlefield was not in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, but in the hands of the devils. They could use this method to transfer all the main force of the Eighth Route Army to Yuncheng Plain.

Is the Eighth Route Army ready for systematic confrontation, that is, regular combat?

Obviously not.

At this time, the devil did not attack, just because the devil was very nervous about fighting in all directions and couldn't take care of Yuncheng for a while.

Once the devils took a breath and organized a systematic army, it would be difficult for Yuncheng to hold on.

At that time, it will be difficult for tanks to even drive out to fight, let alone win.

In fact, the same is true of the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea...

The north is mountainous, and the volunteers built a large number of tunnels, tunnels, and reverse slope fortifications, forming a non-systematic battle with the enemy.

There are many plains in the south, and once the volunteers hit the south, they will not be able to continue and cannot win.

This is not because the Volunteer Army is not resolute enough and its combat effectiveness has not changed, but that the Volunteer Army has not yet formed a system, especially the lack of an air force that prevents it from confronting the enemy's combat system.

(Note: The Volunteer Army also has a small amount of air force in the middle and late stages, but this air force is to create a MiG corridor in the rear to ensure the transportation of materials, and the front line cannot get the support of the air force)
This is also the reason why Wang Xuexin is eager to form an aviation force. Aviation is the top of systematic warfare, and this cannot be solved by a few T34s or T26s.

The commanders and fighters in the tactical squad all had considerable command experience. They thought that the situation of the Eighth Route Army had already "pull the clouds and mist and see the blue sky". Only after Wang Xuexin said this did they realize that the situation was so dangerous.

So one by one worriedly discussed.

At this moment, Zhao Gang came to him in a hurry. He couldn't wait for Wang Xuexin to finish class, so he stood at the door and waved to Wang Xuexin anxiously.

Wang Xuexin asked the commanders and fighters to discuss this issue, and then walked out of the classroom.

As soon as Zhao Gang saw Wang Xuexin coming out, he frowned and said, "Little Northeast, I still can't sell it!"

"What?" Wang Xuexin was puzzled for a while: "Political Commissar, are you saying that our cloth cannot be sold?"

"No!" Zhao Gang replied, "It's because the coarse cloth in the hands of the common people cannot be sold, and they all come to buy our cloth!"

Wang Xuexin felt funny for a moment: Those who do business are worried that their business is not good enough, but Zhao Gang is the other way around, he is worried that his business is too good.

It turned out that today was the day when Xiaobeiling's first batch of cloth was delivered to Yuncheng.

Although Zhao Gang had set the price of the cloth at 8 cents, he was worried, so he took a few guards to the market early in the morning.

In order not to attract the attention of others, he also disguised himself as a cloth buyer.

After squatting all morning, he found that Xiaobeiling's cloth was sold out as soon as it moved to the market, and some people even started a reselling business, that is, as soon as the cloth was released by the Eighth Route Army, all of them were bought up immediately , and then sold for nine cents or even one yuan as soon as they changed hands.

When talking about these people who bought and sold people, Zhao Gang became angry: "I can't wait to arrest these people on the spot. Buying, selling and speculating. We set the price of cloth low to let the people get benefits. They are good enough to rob the cloth." When it’s all gone, the common people can only buy from them at a high price!”

Zhao Gang is not joking, if it is not because of discipline, Wang Xuexin really thinks that Zhao Gang will arrest these "middlemen".

Wang Xuexin said: "Political commissar, even if they are arrested, it will not solve the problem! Besides, they are only buying cloth, and we have no rule that they cannot buy so much!"

"I know!" Zhao Gang said: "That's why I asked you to think of a way. This is not just a matter of buying and selling. Everyone is waiting for the cloth from Xiaobeiling. No one wants the coarse cloth in the hands of the people, so the price has been lowered." They can't be sold!"

"Political commissar!" Wang Xuexin asked: "Do you know what the problem is? Our price has been set low!"

"You..." Zhao Gang was speechless for a while, and he asked back: "Could the price increase solve the problem?"

Wang Xuexin nodded, and said: "Really, do you think, why are those who sell and buy and sell for one yuan? It's because it's worth the price! If we set the price at one yuan, then those who sell and buy and sell will have nothing to earn. Now, do you think there are still people robbing like this?"

Zhao Gang couldn't figure it out: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, tell me...why the common people don't want seventy-five cents of coarse cloth, but have to spend one yuan to buy the cloth woven by this machine? I don't see how rich the people in Yuncheng are!"

"It's because I'm poor that I want to buy one yuan more!" Wang Xuexin replied.

"What's the point?" Zhao Gang was confused again.

Wang Xuexin explained: "Political commissar, think about it. Coarse cloth is artificially woven, and some of it is uneven in thickness, and some are sparse. If you are not careful, the cotton plug will leak out, and you will have to sew and mend it into tattered clothes after a few months of wearing." Right? But the cloth woven by the machine is different. Although it is more expensive, it is warm and durable, and one piece can be worth two pieces. Which kind of cloth do you think is the best deal?"

Zhao Gang let out an "oh" and understood the reason.

The people doing business in this market are not as ignorant as Zhao Gang, they are ghost spirits, some people have been buying and selling cloth all their lives, and they only need to look at it to know how much the cloth is worth.

Therefore, it is strange that Zhao Gang insists on pricing the good cloth woven by this machine at 8 cents so that no one can steal it.

After thinking about it, Zhao Gang said, "Then, let's raise the price again?"

"It must be mentioned!" Wang Xuexin said: "Until the people have a choice, they think it is a good deal to buy coarse cloth for seventy-five cents, then our price will be about the same, so it will be good for everyone!"

Zhao Gang nodded. He found that doing business is much more difficult than he imagined.
