My client Li Yunlong
Chapter 210 Accelerate the construction of the arsenal!
"Currently, the initial combat objectives have been achieved."
"Comprehensive and complete destruction of the Japanese transportation lines and strongholds including the Zhengtai Line, Tongpu Line, and Pinghan Line."
When the chief of staff said these words, the staff members of the staff celebrated together:
"Great!"
"Ha ha··"
"···"
After the staff members expressed their joy, the deputy general staff continued:
"Next, our task is to open up the access to the border area, and then organize manpower to build a road that can be passed by the truck fleet."
There is another core goal in this war.
Open up the transportation channel to the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Region, and then use the heavy truck fleet of the independent regiment to transport food and other materials to the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Region to support the training of talents for the Anti-Japanese University.
This completely broke the blockade of preserved fruits on the Shaanxi-Gansu border area.
Become the rear area of the Eighth Route Army.
"Yes!"
The staff are very motivated.
The smooth implementation of the Hundred Regiment War allowed the staff officers to see their own strength.
Not only did it exceed the Japs, the Jinsui Army, and Guozhou's expectations, it even exceeded the expectations of the headquarters staff.
Unknowingly, it turned out that the Eighth Route Army was already so powerful!
···
"did not expect··"
"We're already so strong."
In the conference room.
The teacher, boss, and deputy boss met.
The teacher couldn't help but sigh.
In ten days, the combat mission that was expected to take fifteen or even twenty days was completed.
In such a situation, even they had to marvel at the rapid growth of their own strength.
"This time we were able to complete the combat mission ahead of schedule not only because of the advanced weapons and ammunition that Li Yunlong brought."
"The core reason lies in the help of ordinary people."
"Especially the militiamen in the Taiyue and Taihang base areas were of great help."
the deputy general staff concluded.
Why can the combat goal be completed ahead of schedule?
In addition to the improvement in the combat effectiveness of the troops brought by advanced and sufficient weapons and ammunition, there is also the most important factor, which is sufficient and high morale militia troops.
As the old saying goes.
If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.
This principle, not only has not been eliminated at present, but has become increasingly important.
With the large amount of advanced weapons and equipment, the Eighth Route Army's demand for logistics has also greatly increased. The supplies the army itself can carry can only support one or two days of marching and fighting.
This battle involves the entire North China Plain.
The troops themselves were mainly stationed in the suburbs, and the transportation of supplies and baggage could only be carried by people on horseback.
Although Li Yunlong could get a batch of high-quality horses and mules every month, the time was too short. After a few months, there were only more than 30,000 horses and mules in total.
Not much.
Most of them need to be equipped in the army, and very few can be handed over to the logistics transportation team.
There is little improvement in transportation.
Those who truly solve transportation and logistics problems for a hundred main regiments, and help transport the wounded, assist in battles, transport trophies, and even directly participate in battles.
It's 450,000 militiamen!
Yes.
Four hundred and fifty thousand militiamen.
It is more than half the total strength of the Japanese North China Front Army.
With the increase in the amount of food obtained each month, the militia training plan that originated in the Taiyue base area was also extended to the Taihang base area and the southern Hebei base area.
The number of ordinary people in the Taihang base area far exceeds that of Taiyue, and there are also many ordinary people in the southern Hebei region.
The final number expanded to 450,000.
However, because they are not out of work, these 450,000 militiamen can actually be regarded as ordinary people.
But thanks to military training, unified organization, and food subsidy policies, almost all of these militiamen have joined the army, and all of them are the best reserve soldiers.
In particular, most of the more than 70,000 militiamen in the Taiyue base area, which has been trained for the longest time, can directly enter the army. With a little training, they can be directly brought to the battlefield.
Although these militiamen lacked weapons, their combat effectiveness was very poor.
But it helped a lot in terms of logistics, combat assistance, and transporting the wounded.
This time the troops were able to complete their combat missions seven to ten days ahead of schedule. The large, well-organized militia troops with certain combat skills and military skills were indispensable.
"We need to find ways to extend it to other base areas."
The boss said.
Compared with the mobilized common people,
Because of their training, militia forces are more disciplined, more efficient in organization, have much lower management costs, and have much higher operational efficiency.
"Then food needs to be transported to every base area."
The deputy general staff said.
Food is not an issue.
Today, the Taiyue base area has 150,000 tons of fine grains and 500,000 tons of sorghum every month.
Enough to meet the training needs of millions of militiamen.
The only trouble is shipping.
By simply relying on people and horses, half of the supplies, or even more, will be lost during transportation.
And it's very dangerous.
And it will also take up a lot of manpower.
Although there are many military and militia units today, the militiamen need to be engaged in production and full-time transportation, which is inefficient and requires massive supplies.
What's more troublesome is...
"It's very troublesome over there in Mount Wutai!"
The teacher said:
"Although we completely destroyed the Japanese Shota Line this time, the Japanese are ultimately stronger than us. They cannot occupy it for a long time and cannot open up transportation channels."
"And transporting grain to Mount Wutai must pass through the Shotai Line."
"It is unrealistic to rely on air transportation for food." The independent regiment has ten twin-engine transport aircraft.
The army also gathered fifteen crews and more than seventy support personnel.
But the ten planes have a single transportation capacity of only fifteen tons, and they are also responsible for transporting silver coins, personnel, and airdropping newspapers.
It cannot be used to transport food.
"It seems that the arsenal construction plan has been accelerated."
The boss said the core of the problem.
With the monthly supply of a batch of equipment to the independent regiment, as well as the monthly supply of fifty 120 mortars, rounds of artillery shells, hundreds of thousands of tons of grain, and various medicines and supplies.
Now the army has become stronger than ever.
In ten days, the Japanese's two thousand kilometers of railway lines were completely destroyed, nearly a thousand strongholds and hundreds of bridges were uprooted.
But it is easy to destroy but difficult to hold on to.
"The weapons and equipment for four regiments every month are seriously insufficient."
"The battle losses are too great."
The boss added.
Although the independent regiment only has 5,000 people, in fact, the equipment released every month is four regiments in size.
They are still the main team.
That means it can equip about 10,000 people.
This is also the reason why in just half a year since Boss Lu came, not only the Taiyue base area has been completely redressed, but also the Taihang base area and the Jinan base area have been able to have more than ten regiments change their outfits.
But after this battle, the boss discovered that
Although now, the entire army has more than 20 main regiments with better equipment than the Japs, and they can compete head-on with the Japs regiments and even brigade-level forces in many places.
Directly fighting the Japanese in the wild was something that I had never dared to think about before.
But this kind of battle is also very costly.
"Yes."
The teacher nodded in agreement and gave an example:
"After the New Second Regiment occupied the Sha'ao stronghold this time, it was stationed with the New First Regiment and the Thirty-Eighth Regiment. Facing the attack of four Japanese infantry regiments and an artillery regiment, although they held on for a week, the losses were very heavy. "
"There weren't many casualties."
"Especially the weapons and equipment. After seven days of fighting, the equipment of two regiments was basically wiped out."
In battle, not only ammunition is lost, but also weapons.
Although there are many spare parts, if they are lost or completely damaged by artillery, they cannot be repaired.
In field battles, this happens often.
"Our strength is still far behind the Japanese."
"In a frontal field battle, not to mention the North China Front, even the First Army cannot defeat it."
The boss continued.
With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, with the help of terrain, sufficient militia, and supply advantages, let alone the First Army, even if the Japanese Eleventh Army comes over, it can stop it.
But fighting in the plains,
Or a long-term war of attrition.
It's seriously insufficient.
"I agree."
"We need more weapons and equipment."
The deputy general staff said:
"Especially the equipment that we need to produce ourselves."
"It is said..."
Speaking of this, the teacher began to imagine the future:
"According to Li Yunlong, if this plan succeeds, the weapons and equipment produced by our arsenal can reach the level of weapons and equipment technology supported by the boss behind him."
"Is this true?"
Although there was evidence of a newspaper printing machine in front of him, the division commander still couldn't believe it.
People like the division commander and others who have enough vision can clearly feel how strong the manufacturing process of the weapons and equipment obtained by Li Yunlong is.
Don't talk about little devils.
Even the weapons produced by the Americans, even the Germans and the British are far inferior.
If we can master such a manufacturing process.
Wouldn’t that mean we are directly at the forefront of the world?
Every time I think of this, the teacher feels unbelievable.
"It's not like you haven't seen those two printing presses."
The deputy general staff said with a smile:
"I don't know anything else, but that operating screen and the management computer are at least twenty years advanced in the world."
In the 1990s, printing presses already had electronic computers. Although their performance was relatively poor, in this era it was still six years before the first electronic computer was born.
Proper Zenith star black technology.
"Then let's get started."
The boss looked at the deputy general staff.
The division commander also looked at the deputy general staff.
Building an arsenal requires more than just equipment;
As the economy of the southern Hebei base area gained a firm foothold, the problem of machinery and equipment was no longer a big problem. Not only the American businessman, George Galvin, but also other businessmen also came to dig for gold.
As long as the base continues to be maintained, the price difference between silver and the world market can be actively attracted.
Equipment is not an issue at all.
Talent is also needed.
As for talents, although there are underground parties lurking in various places to collect talents, the efficiency is too low.
It is also necessary to actively attract base areas.
"I will arrange immediately for Xinhua Newspaper to publish recruitment information."
The deputy general staff said.
After the public killing of Miyano Michichi, the reputation of Xinhua Newspaper has been completely established, and the transport aircraft has also solved the transportation problem and can cover all parts of the country in time.
There is nothing better than using Xinhua News to recruit talents. (End of chapter)
