In other words, the current total strength of the People's Army has reached 150,000, although among these 150,000.

Nearly two-thirds of the soldiers are new recruits, but Su Yu believes that these new recruits will undergo training for another two months at most.

They would be able to form an effective combat force. As for the time issue? He wasn't too worried.

Because of Yamashita Taro's presence, whenever someone around Okamura Neji wanted to propose an attack on the People's Army.

Yamashita Taro will stand up and say that the time is not yet ripe and they are not ready yet. You must know that they currently occupy the entire North China region.

Although Okamura Neji does have a lot of troops now, these troops are very scattered.

It is a very large project to assemble them, and once they are assembled, the garrison in many places will be greatly reduced.

If this happens, armed forces in many places will be ready to move, and by then they will be passive.

Therefore, in Yamashita Taro's opinion, if you want to gather all the external troops to deal with a People's Army.

It's really too risky. Who knew that Okamura Neji's territory was so large? Besides, now the entire northwestern Shanxi has fallen into the hands of the People's Army.

They had no idea what the situation was like in northwestern Shanxi. After all, all the forces they had installed in northwestern Shanxi were removed by Su Yu without exception.

Under such circumstances, it would be unwise to rashly attack the People's Army in northwestern Shanxi. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

If you want to encircle and suppress the People's Army, you must first understand the situation in northwestern Shanxi and then make a judgment.

Otherwise, if you don't understand anything and just send troops directly, this is a taboo for military strategists.

It has to be said that Okamura Neiji, who was a little tempted at first, immediately gave up the idea of ​​attacking the People's Army under the words of Yamashita Taro.

I just asked Yamashita Taro to send people to investigate the specific situation of the People's Army in northern Shanxi and then discuss it.

It is precisely because of Yamashita Taro that Su Yu can develop steadily. As for the investigation situation?

Isn't that simple? Su Yu can completely use the investigators sent by the little devil to delay time.

It only takes a little bit of manipulation to buy time for the People's Army to develop. After this, a lot of time was wasted on the little devils' side.

............

Of course, the main reason why Okamura Neiji did not launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against the People's Army was because there were too many things involved.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a single move can affect the whole body. If Okamura Neji takes action, the entire North China region will become lively.

What's more, Okamura Neiji is not sure that he can completely eliminate the People's Army, after all, judging from the performance of the People's Army.

The combat effectiveness of this People's Army, which was established just over half a year ago, seems to be much stronger than that of the Eighth Route Army. Now they cannot even destroy the Eighth Route Army.

How could the People's Army, which was more powerful than the Eighth Route Army, be completely wiped out? Plus, judging from the intelligence.

The Eighth Route Army and the People's Army in northwestern Shanxi have cooperated several times. At this time, if you attack the People's Army in northwestern Shanxi,

Then it is very likely that we will face the combined forces of the People's Army and the Eighth Route Army, and the situation will be dire by then.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Okamura Neji has been wavering, and he is not sure when it comes to fighting.

If we don't fight, we will be upset just watching the People's Army develop there.

In the end, thanks to Yamashita Taro's unremitting efforts, Okamura Neji temporarily shelved the idea of ​​dealing with the People's Army.

After all, Okamura Neji's idea in his heart is very simple. If he wants to fight, he needs to be foolproof, which is definitely not possible now.

Because many of his troops were engaged in a tug-of-war with the Eighth Route Army. Under such circumstances, it would be unwise for him to turn around and suppress the People's Army.

Therefore, what Neji Okamura wanted to do was to deal with the threat of the Eighth Route Army first, and then free up his hands to deal with the People's Army.

Without the interference of external factors, the development speed of the People's Army is simply rapid.

At this time, Su Yu couldn't help but think back to the time when he had just traveled through time. It was late January 1940.

He only has puppet troops in their early 1000s, and they are still cooperating with the little devils to carry out a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army.

But when I look at it in the blink of an eye, I can say that I have completely changed, and the time has come to what it was like in September 1940.

Counting this way, it has been almost eight months since I traveled through time. Within these eight months.

Su Yu has not been idle either. He has grown his People's Army from more than a thousand people at the beginning to the current number of 150,000.

However, he found that when the size of his People's Army reached 150,000, the army's development speed began to slow down and finally stabilized.

It seems that it is almost saturated, and that's right. The development speed is the fastest only when a new territory is just occupied.
