"The $5000 million from the sale of silver has arrived."

"Yo Xi."

Tokyo.

The current finance minister looked at the statistical table submitted by the secretary with a satisfied expression.

Although trade with the United States continues as usual, scrap steel, finished steel ingots, petroleum, and high-quality aviation fuel are transported one ship after another, and there are even some discounts.
However, the huge consumption of frontline wars and the huge demand for materials and supplies by the empire's industry have made the empire's financial pressure still huge.

Fortunately,

With the continuous influx of silver looted from the Republic of China, the financial crisis was greatly alleviated.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that silver income will also become the main source of purchasing materials in the future.

Although the existence of the Silver Act allowed the American Treasury to purchase large amounts of silver, as a typical buyer's market, not everyone could make this money.

Even if you have silver, you have to get permission from others before you can sell it.

The British Empire recently wanted to sell thousands of tons, but was rejected.

Nowadays, the Imperial Treasury can sell without restraint and is almost the only seller with no restrictions. It is foreseeable that the imperial financial crisis will be solved for a long time in the future.

if only··
Can continue to collect enough silver.

"Send this report to the Prime Minister."

As a finance minister, he certainly cannot give direct orders to frontline troops and garrison troops, but the empire needs it, and the prime minister will do it.

The original Tongpu line.

large excavator,
Heavy duty dump truck,
Ballast track combined laying vehicle,
Concrete mixer truck.

And, densely packed but orderly workers.

With the support of construction machinery, operators and railway engineers from the system master,

The two-lane heavy rail railway composed of concrete sleepers, high-quality heavy rails, and reinforced concrete bridges starts from Taiyuan and extends northward along the Tongpu Line.

Around the railway, two engineering teams with a large scale and good equipment began to advance, digging holes in the mountains and rocks, and extending the two concrete-paved roads to connect every county and even town in the surrounding area.

At the same time, there are also small engineering teams connecting hardened soil roads to almost every village.

···
And behind Taiyuan,

More than 30 main regiments are implementing mechanized reorganization and training in the Jinzhong Basin.

Responsible for ensuring the safety of the Tongpu Line and surrounding roads, and preparing to move north.

"Damn it."

There are 30 regiments among the more than 772 main regiments.

At this time, the group leader Cheng Shifa was in a very unhappy mood.

Although there are Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia in the north, and more than 3 Japanese soldiers who previously attacked along the Tongpu Line are also stationed here, bringing the strength of the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia to over 10,000,

A war visible to the naked eye is coming.

But at this moment, of the more than 772 people in his 300nd regiment, 200 of them were transferred.

This time, the superiors were very cruel.

Among these two hundred soldiers, the lowest are elite veterans who have been in the army for more than two years. They are also the most educated group in the regiment, including some company and platoon-level cadres.

Although the superiors have added some, they are all newly trained officer cadres. If his 772 regiment's wealth had not been rich recently, the combat effectiveness of his 772 regiment might have been reduced by one-third.

You know, although the troops are well equipped.

Manual automatic rifles, general-purpose machine guns, and the entire regiment is equipped with more than 50 artillery pieces, including two 105mm howitzers, four 120mm mortars, and more than 150 three-ton heavy-duty off-road trucks.

However, if you want to unleash the combat capabilities of these equipment, the level of operating warriors is very high.

He was assigned [-] key soldiers from the entire regiment, which almost cost him his life.

Now he has to strengthen training to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Fortunately...
The same goes for other regiments, such as the 771st Regiment, which also had [-] key officers and soldiers transferred.

"Fifty battalions reorganized together."

Yangcheng.

Kong Jie tutted:
"This wooly thing..."

Even he, Kong Jie, could see it.

It was said that fifty battalions were reorganized together.
Each infantry battalion was expanded to 2000 men.
The whole battalion is divided into six companies,
A tank company, three mechanized infantry companies equipped with the latest tracked personnel carriers, an artillery company equipped with the latest 120 self-propelled howitzers, and a logistics company, plus a battalion headquarters.

The battalion has eighteen No. 72 tanks, eighteen 120 self-propelled howitzers, twelve self-propelled 120 mortars, 150 tracked infantry fighting vehicles equipped with small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and one hundred tracked transport, logistics, and communications vehicles. , assault guns, etc.

All tracked transport vehicles are modified based on the No. 72 tank chassis, making most of the parts common and reducing the pressure on logistics and maintenance.

The troop transport type can carry ten soldiers, one ton of weapons and supplies, and its front and side defenses are equivalent to the No. 72 tank.

The assault artillery model is equipped with a 105-caliber assault gun. In order to accommodate more shells, the turret is enlarged. The front armor is the same, but the side and rear armor are weaker.

The transport-type armor can only protect against 12.7mm machine gun fire, and it only has one 12.7mm machine gun. However, its weight is greatly reduced. In theory, it can transport fifteen tons of baggage and supplies without reducing mobility.However, due to the limited cargo capacity, it is basically unable to carry fifteen tons unless it is loaded with artillery shells.

The equipment of these fifty battalions is in place and the personnel are initially in place, but the training is seriously insufficient. However, the required technical arms are trained by Boss Mo.

The superior's calculation made it so hard that it jumped to his face.

With so much equipment, including tanks, there are nearly [-] vehicles in total.

For a battalion, even a super reinforced battalion with a size of 2000 people, this equipment is too much.

In fact, these nearly 500 mechanized equipment are enough to equip a mechanized composite main force group of more than [-] people.

This kind of mechanized group,

In the plains, without any support from the air force or other troops, a regiment can fight like a Japanese A-grade division.

However, because the equipment of this main force group is too advanced, it has very high requirements for operators. In the current situation of the army, even the tank company of the [-]st Battalion of the Independent Regiment has unqualified operating soldiers.

Therefore, the superiors obviously planned to use Boss Mo's training talents.

Based on the professionalism of the instructors sent by Boss Mo and the outstanding backbones selected from all regiments of the entire army, it is estimated that after one and a half years of training, by the end of next year, with just a few infantrymen thrown in, there will be fifty super mechanized regiments. .

In addition to some mountain regiments, motorized infantry regiments, and logistics transportation battalions reorganized from other main regiments,
and the Air Force.

According to what he learned from Li Yunlong, by the end of next year, there will be [-] aerial gunships, [-] 'Yi' supersonic jet attack aircraft, and [-] Black Hawks ready for combat.

Moreover, it is equipped with super missiles of the same level as Scud.

It is expected that the combat effectiveness of the troops will usher in a surge.

When the time comes, I will be able to cope with any situation that is expected to come, even the worst case scenario, where everyone in the world is the enemy.

"Are they heading north?"

Jinling, Dispatch Force Headquarters, Shunroku Hata looked at the latest information, his eyes twitching.

The North China Front suffered a disastrous defeat, Okamura Neiji was dismissed, but the new North China Front commander...
It's also a big problem.

After this battle, the First Army was completely wiped out. Counting the losses of the attacking troops, the number of pieces of jade exceeded [-].

Including previous losses, the imperial army lost more than 12 troops in North China in just six months.

It's a loss!
Including broken jade, missing, and being seriously injured and unable to return to the team.

The total strength of the North China Front is only 33.

More than a third of it was gone.

Moreover, the base camp will also assign the nearly [-] imperial troops who retreated from the Tongpu Line to the Mongolian Army to resist the increasingly large guerrilla groups in the northern region.

As a result, the total strength of the North China Front was only 16 at this time.

Just cut it in half.

And Tubal Road, the main culprit that caused such huge casualties to the North China Front, is still in North China and is getting stronger and stronger. Who is willing to take a trip into this muddy water?

None of them had any reason to serve as commander of the North China Front. In order to escape, a few lieutenant generals even pretended to be ill.

As a result, the base camp directly asked him to concurrently serve as the commander of the North China Front.

He has been worried about Tubal Road marching towards the North China Plain. As a result...
Actually heading north?

"Hi."

The staff officer who reported said:
"According to intelligence, the guerrillas mobilized more than a million workers and began to change the Tongpu Line. According to the guerrilla propaganda, the Tongpu Line was converted into a heavy rail two-lane to achieve the minimum target of [-] tons of daily transportation."

"One hundred thousand tons per day."

"It's still the lowest!"

The corners of Hata Shunroku's eyes twitched.

One hundred thousand tons per day.

This transportation volume is enough to satisfy the Republic of China's dispatched troops for high-intensity operations every day.

Take the Locust Army's most advanced locomotive as an example. A single locomotive pulls a vehicle with a standard load capacity of [-] tons. It can only transport [-] tons at its limit, and it has to be coal and grain.

One hundred thousand tons per day.

So shouldn't one hundred trains be loaded with a thousand tons every day?

Or two hundred trains with a full load of [-] tons every day?
Based on known intelligence, Shunroku Hata knew that this railway used concrete sleepers, heavy-duty long rails, high-horsepower diesel locomotives, and multi-axle cargo containers, which were technologically advanced.

But [-] tons per day?

Shunroku Hata doesn’t believe it!
Obviously, Millikin's full set of heavy-haul train technologies from the 90s gave Hata Shunroku a huge shock.

But Shunroku Hata also knew.

Regardless of whether it can really transport [-] tons per day.

Once the construction of this railway line is completed, the troops stationed in Mongolia will be in big trouble.

Facing the mechanization and heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army, the North China Front Army could not withstand it, let alone the Mongolian Army? (End of chapter)
