I am helping

For the organizational system of the Chinese army, Lieutenant Tojo is naturally familiar with it.

A regiment of the Chinese army ranged from a few hundred to a few thousand people, and was at the same level as the Japanese army regiment.

However, an elite regiment of the Japanese army can single-handedly challenge an elite Chinese division.

The main reason, of course, is that the Japanese army is better equipped, and Japanese soldiers have higher combat literacy than Chinese soldiers.

There is actually a regiment in the Chinese army, which is better equipped than the Japanese army, and has a higher combat quality than the Japanese soldiers.

Its paper strength is even much stronger than the most elite 1st Division of the Japanese army.

It is said that the Eighth Route Army has more than 100 regiments. If they all have this kind of equipment and level, then the Imperial Army in China is not...

Seeing Yingji Tojo's horrified expression, Ningji Okamura immediately knew that he had exaggerated a bit, and quickly explained: "Your Excellency Lu Xiang, there is only one regiment like this in the Eighth Route Army of China, not all regiment-level units. They all have this size, and there are two other regiments with a size of [-] people, but they are not to be feared. The most troublesome one is the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Tojo Yingji breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "What exactly is Okamura-kun trying to say?"

"Although there is only one regiment like this in the Eighth Route Army now." Okamura Ningji said in a deep voice, "But according to intelligence, the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is actually an experimental unit at the Eighth Route Army headquarters. If the new first regiment succeeds, then the Eighth Route Army All regiment-level troops will have as many troops as the new regiment, and their weapons and equipment will be as good as the new regiment, then..."

Neiji Okamura is talking nonsense seriously.

Just as intelligence showed that Neiji Okamura was actually a senior agent of the Eighth Route Army.

Anyway, it was Schrödinger's information, and Tojo Yingji couldn't verify it.

The heart that Tojo Yingji had just put down suddenly lifted up again.

The new regiment of the ordinary Eighth Route Army can defeat the 10th Division of the Kwantung Army's elite Class A division.

If there are more than 100 regiments of the Eighth Route Army, each regiment is at the level of 3 people, and the equipment is at the same level as the Eighth Route New Regiment, what will the locust army fight?
Even if the Locust Army had 100 Type A divisions, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat them.

But it is a pity that there are only 17 Type A divisions in the Japanese army, and as the wheels of war advance, the combat effectiveness of some Type A divisions has dropped sharply.

Moreover, Tojo Yingji knew that Neiji Okamura was not scaremongering, and this kind of thing was likely to really happen.

Because the Eighth Route Army has external aid channels.

Tojo Yingji had an uncertain expression at first, and then asked, "What suggestion does Okamura-kun have?"

"Your Excellency Lu Xiang." Okamura Ningji said, "My suggestion is to eliminate the new regiment as soon as possible in response to the experimental plan of the Eighth Route Army. As long as the new regiment can be eliminated, there is a high probability that the aid channels behind the Eighth Route Army will not Continue to aid the Eighth Route Army."

Tojo Yingji frowned slightly and shook his head.

Said: "The locust army's strategic center of gravity and goal have been transferred to Southeast Asia, and the navy is preparing to launch an offensive in the Pacific Ocean. At present, there are no troops and combat materials. They will be mobilized for you to attack the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Neiji Okamura pushed his glasses and said, "Your Excellency Lu Xiang, you don't need to mobilize too many troops and combat supplies. You only need to give me one division, and I will be sure to severely damage or even destroy the new one!"

"Okamura-kun is so confident?" Tojo Hideji looked at Neiji Okamura as if he was looking at a fool, "Even the 10th division was defeated and suffered heavy losses. You can defeat the new division with just one division. You North China Front Army still has seven or eight divisions, why didn't you destroy the new regiment?"

Neiji Okamura's tone was awkward: "Your Majesty Lu, even the Class A Division is not the opponent of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, let alone the second-tier divisions of the North China Front Army. I'm talking about the First Division."

Tojo Yingji narrowed his eyes: "1st Division?"

"Yes, the 1st Division!" Okamura Ningji said, "My idea is to use the 1st Division as a test unit for the Locust Army, equipped with more artillery than the new regiment, equipped with [-]-type submachine guns and The semi-automatic rifle was put into the Northwest Shanxi battlefield to deal with the Xinyi regiment."

"The locust army can make a submachine gun." Tojo Yingji asked, "Where did the locust army get the semi-automatic rifle?"

"On the battlefield in Northwest Shanxi." Ningji Okamura replied, "The 10th Division won partial victories and seized more than 10 semi-automatic rifles from the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment. The imperial ordnance department can study and imitate them."

During World War II, the Japanese army also developed semi-automatic rifles.

That is, the Type Four A semi-automatic rifle.

The prototype gun refers to the M-1 Garand semi-automatic rifle captured by the US military on the battlefield during the Pacific War.

"Oh?" Tojo Yingji's eyes lit up slightly.

But soon, Tojo Yingji thought of a lot.

Before World War II, the gang of veterans in the military who participated in World War I and even the Russo-Japanese War were still immersed in the glory of the past, and stubbornly believed that the "one shot, one hit" rifle was the most reliable firearm for infantry.

According to this, the Japanese army attached great importance to the fighting and stabbing of infantry.

The tactics of "bushido spirit" and "bayonet sees red" became the traditional spirit of the Japanese infantry, and they continued to flourish until they participated in World War II.

Just like opposing a large number of equipped with submachine guns.

Tojo Yingji estimated that even if a semi-automatic rifle was developed, those old military officials would probably oppose the use of semi-automatic rifles in the army infantry.

But if a model unit is created and great results are achieved, then those old officials in the military department should have nothing to say?
It takes a long time to independently develop a semi-automatic rifle. If it is an imitation, it will not take long for the cottage to come out.

"Okamura-kun." Thinking of this, Hideji Tojo said, "I will seriously consider this matter."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Lu Xiang!"

Okamura Ningji got up and lowered his head, ready to turn and leave.

Seeing Tojo Yingji's expression, Neiji Okamura knew that he was tempted, and now he just needs to go back and wait for the news.

Tojo Yingji advocates the use of force to resolve the China incident as soon as possible, so his style of acting is radical and fanatical, and most of them will agree to this plan.

However, the Shiyuan faction emphasized that the aggression against China should be eroded step by step, step by step.

So Ishihara Wanji was squeezed out of the core management of the Japanese Army.

As for the almost complete annihilation of the 3rd Brigade, the looting of 5000 tons of combat supplies, and Li Yunlong's clear-coded telegram calling him the captain of the Eighth Route Army's transportation team, Neiji Okamura has already explained it to Tojo Yingji.

"Okamura-kun, please wait a moment."

Tojo Yingji called Okamura Ningji to stop and said:
"The group of guys from the Ishihara faction recommended Lieutenant General Tani Hisao to Commander of the North China Front Army to His Majesty Tianlocust."

Ningji Okamura narrowed his eyes, turned around and bowed his head, then turned and walked out.

Because Gu Hisao led the 6th Division to commit heinous crimes in the attack on Jinling.

In order to avoid being condemned by the world public opinion, the Japanese base camp transferred Hisao Tani to the home defense force as the commander of the Central Army. In 1939, he was incorporated into the reserve.

According to seniority, Tani Hisao should have been promoted to general in 1940 and served as the commander of a certain front army.

Okamura Ningji's sense of crisis came up immediately.

Because of the failure of the sweeping operation in Northwest Shanxi, although Tojo Yingji still supported him, the locust was already dissatisfied with him.

……

Northwest Shanxi.

Dagu Town.

Since the end of the anti-sweeping campaign in Northwest Shanxi, the regiment headquarters of Xinyi Regiment has been in Dagu Town.

And after Li Yunlong, he planned to set up the regiment headquarters in Dagu Town.

The transportation here is convenient, and there are fortification groups, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Zhaojiayu Airport was bombed by devil bombers, so it will be unusable in the future, because the devils know that there is an airport there, and even if the airport is rebuilt in the future, it will definitely be taken care of.

At a location about five kilometers away from Dagu Town, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang reselected a location to build the Dagu Town Airport.

At present, Boss Chen has arranged for the plane to drop the materials for the construction of the airport by air.

Like last time, the work of building the airport is mainly in charge of the deputy head Xing Zhiguo.

"Captain."

"The 5000 tons of combat materials have all been transported from Datong Airport to Southeast Shanxi by Boss Chen's transport plane."

In the regiment headquarters of the new regiment.

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong with a smile on his face.

"So fast?"

Li Yunlong's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly when he heard the words, it's so comfortable to have a transport plane.

Although expected soon, but did not expect so soon.

It took only 5 days to transport all 5000 tons of combat materials to the southeast of Shanxi.

Originally, Li Yunlong planned to take a transport plane to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi to meet with the head of the headquarters.

However, since Li Yunlong had already returned to Northwest Shanxi, political commissar Zhao Gang went to meet the head of the headquarters on Li Yunlong's behalf. Zhao Gang has now returned to Northwest Shanxi.

Calculated according to the calculation that each transport plane transports 10 tons of combat materials back and forth, one round trip is one sortie, and about 500 sorties are required.

This time, Boss Chen provided 40 transport planes, and each transport plane only needs to fly a dozen round trips, with an average of 2 to 3 sorties per day.

"It's really fast!" Wang Dehou said with emotion, "I hope we can earn transport planes and fighter jets sooner."

"Airplane?" Li Yunlong's tone was full of expectation: "It should be soon!"

The flight cadets who went to overseas military bases to study high-achieving students have about half a year to graduate.

Li Yunlong estimated that in about half a year, Boss Chen should provide aircraft business.

Otherwise, wouldn't the cadet pilots be useless after graduation?
If the pilots of the Eighth Route Army were equipped with Boss Chen's fighter jets, they would no longer have to worry about being bombed by devils' planes.

Also.

The second batch of tank trainees is about to graduate and return.

At this moment, the radio in the inner room of the regiment headquarters buzzed.

Li Yunlong walked forward quickly, put the microphone to his mouth in one hand, and put the receiver in the other to his ear, and asked, "Who is that?"

Since Boss Chen supplied unlimited batteries, Li Yunlong's radio has been running 24 hours a day.

After a while, Chen Feng's voice came from Li Yunlong's ear: "I'm Boss Chen, is it Boss Li?"

"I'm Boss Li."

Li Yunlong was a little happy, Boss Chen took the initiative to contact him, probably because he has a new business.

Sure enough, as Captain Li expected, Chen Feng's voice rang in his ears again.
