"The People's Army almost didn't like these little devil weapons in the arsenal, and they were directly left to us later."

"After being equipped with these weapons, our entire Eighth Route Army can finally achieve a manpower of 38,000 soldiers. You know, this time last year, even the old-fashioned Hanyang-made weapons were available."

"We in the Eighth Route Army can only get one shot equally between two or three people, and the number of bullets is still very scarce. Every soldier needs to count the bullets to shoot."

"But who would have thought that in just one year, such a huge change would have taken place, from two or three people averaging one Hanyang shot to now having one person with three or eight shots."

"And we are no longer scarce in bullets. Gone are the days when each soldier could only get a few bullets equally."

"It's all thanks to the People's Army. Otherwise, let alone the development of our Eighth Route Army to this scale, it is still unknown whether we can even escape from the encirclement of the Japs."

Speaking of this, the chief of staff looked excited. To be honest, since they have cooperated with the People's Army several times, their Eighth Route Army has been almost the same every day.

The changes are not small. At this time last year, they were still being chased all over the mountain by Shinozuka Yoshio's First Army, if it weren't for the desperate cover of the troops below.

Whether they can break through is another matter. Just like the subsequent Battle of Cangyunling, their fight was also very difficult, and the new regiment was almost wiped out.

And now? In just one year, they not only cooperated with the People's Army to annihilate Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army, but also annihilated the entire North China Front Army of the Japs.

After hearing what the chief of staff said, the chief nodded in agreement.

"Yes, regardless of whether the People's Army has the intentions we suspected, but so far, they have indeed helped our Eighth Route Army a lot."

"If it weren't for the presence of the People's Army, we would probably still be having a headache for Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army, and we would never be like this."

"The strength of the entire Eighth Route Army has grown to 500,000 to 600,000, and the weapons in its hands have been upgraded several levels. No matter what, at this stage."

"The People's Army has been very helpful to us. We cannot be suspicious of the People's Army because of things that may happen in the future. This is not the style of our Eighth Route Army."

What the leader said may happen in the future is worth mentioning. It is the People's Army who has ideas about that position. After all, the People's Army has even raised its own flag.

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

If it's just his own military uniform, then forget it. After all, the Eighth Route Army also has its own military uniform. But the problem is that Su Yu has taken out all the flags.

The intention is obvious, but it is undeniable that the People's Army did help their Eighth Route Army a lot. There is no doubt about this.

"Then how many casualties did we suffer in this battle?"

Having said this, the chief of staff put away the smile on his face and said in a serious tone.

"Preliminary estimates suggest that our number of casualties this time is around 60,000, and the number of injured is even higher. However, Su Yu gave us a batch of penicillin later."

"So these wounded people don't have much of a problem. With penicillin, I believe they will recover soon."

Hearing this, the chief nodded and said.

"Well, do a good job in finishing the war and don't let other soldiers feel cold."

"Don't worry, I've already told you."

While the two were talking, the newspaper about bald heads also appeared in Su Yu's hand.

When he saw the contents of the newspaper, his expression was extremely exciting. Good guy, what kind of title does he need to be appointed by a mere bald man?

Although Bald Head is now the nominal supreme commander of the Chinese Theater, on the surface the Eighth Route Army is under Bald Head's jurisdiction.

But in fact, there are really not many people who care about him, and a bald man really can't control the head of the People's Army.

"Commander, look at this..."

When Yang Shan, Chief of General Staff of the People's Army on the side, saw the contents of this newspaper, he looked at Su Yu with uncertainty.

"Don't worry about him. A transport captain wants to take our People's Army under his command? I really don't know where he got the courage to say this."

"Is it possible that I, the so-called commander-in-chief of the second theater, still need him to appoint me? Tell the people below and treat this as a fart."

"What should we do? By the way, how is the process going on in the cities where the troops took over the little devils?"

Speaking of business, Yang Shanbian said with a serious face.

"Reporting to the Commander, the territories occupied by the Japs have been completely taken over by our People's Army, including the entire North China region."

"Except for the territory of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army and some local troops, the rest is the territory of our People's Army, occupying more than half of the entire North China region."

"Very good, tell the brothers to plant the flag of the People's Army in every corner of the territory and recruit soldiers as soon as possible. We still have a tough battle to fight next."
