The Eighth Route Army suddenly emerged, winning consecutive battles and victories.
Killing hundreds of thousands of the main Japanese army will naturally attract the attention of all countries.
Modern warfare is about war potential, resources and logistical supplies.
At this time, the German army was fighting alone in Europe with the power of one country against the United States, Eagle Country, Soviet Union and other allied forces without falling behind.
In the eyes of senior officials in Europe and the United States, the Asian battlefield is just a fight between rookies, while Europe is a fight between gods.
Although the Japanese army invaded Southeast Asia, European and American countries did not pay much attention to the war in China.
When they heard that the Eighth Route Army had wiped out a Japanese front, the European, American and Soviet countries were shocked.
Is Tubalu so powerful?
After careful investigation, the European, American and Soviet countries realized that the Eighth Route Army was actually equipped with new semi-automatic weapons and automatic weapons, as well as a large number of heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, as well as inexhaustible fuel, food and other strategic materials.
The Eighth Route Army suddenly became a piece of cake in the eyes of big countries such as Europe, America, the Soviet Union, and Germany, and they all wanted a piece of the pie.
As a result, various countries sent personnel to contact YA senior officials one after another, hoping to obtain assistance from the Eighth Route Army.
YA neither agreed nor rejected the envoys from various countries.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. Since you want assistance, you have to offer something equivalent in exchange.
Because these were earned by the Eighth Route Army soldiers with their lives on the battlefield.
Although the Eighth Route Army currently does not have many tanks, heavy artillery and aircraft.
But the Eighth Route Army has massive amounts of fuel and food, which are urgently needed materials for various countries.
Moreover, the Eighth Route Army's oil field in Ordos is almost completed and has abundant oil reserves.
The Eighth Route Army headquarters and YA have long received information about the contact between senior Japanese spies and high-level officials of the national army.
There are people from our party lurking around Principal Chang, and there are more than one.
Therefore, YA is also preparing to find one or two allies internationally.
In the event that the National Army and the Japanese Army jointly attack the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, our army will not fight alone.
As boss Chen's intelligence information arrived, the staff of the new regiment formulated operational plans and emergency plans for bombing the Japanese arsenals and airports in Central and South China.
The Eighth Route Army strategic bombers have a range of more than 5,000 kilometers, and all the Japanese in South China are within the bombing range.
With the intelligence support of Boss Chen and the perfect air strike plan of the New Regiment Staff Headquarters.
It only took the Eighth Route Army bomber unit three days to plow through the Japanese military facilities in central and southern China.
Peking.
In the headquarters of the New Regiment, Li Yunlong listened to Wang Dehou's report with an extremely satisfied expression.
Wang Dehou continued to report: "The Japs have no means of threatening our Eighth Route Army's strategic bombers. We only have three bombers that have been slightly damaged, and engineers are already doing maintenance."
Li Yunlong nodded: "The Japs have too few large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and their performance is poor. If the Japs could be equipped with our 88mm anti-aircraft guns, they might be able to pose a threat to strategic bombers, but it's a pity that the Japs don't have them."
"That also requires a certain number of 88mm anti-aircraft guns." Wang Dehou added, "However, with the industrial strength of the Japanese, it is difficult to produce so many large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. According to the information provided by Boss Chen, the Japanese
It seems they are researching and manufacturing jet fighters over there?"
Li Yunlong said in a disdainful tone: "If you give the devil another ten years, let's see if the devil can make it?"
"Ten years?" Wang Dehou smiled slightly, "According to the current situation, in three to five years, the Japanese will have to consider subjugating the country."
Li Yunlong's lips curled up.
What Wang Dehou said is true.
As for YA, the headquarters and Li Yunlong have this plan.
Anyway, Boss Chen has already said that as long as the New Regiment keeps fighting the Japanese, the New Regiment and the Eighth Route Army will always receive assistance.
The more Japanese you kill, the greater the aid you will receive.
After driving the Japanese out of the mainland, the Eighth Route Army would counterattack the Japanese mainland.
By then, the Japanese will not even have a chance to surrender!
At this moment, Zhao Gang walked in quickly and said to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, the delivery of tanks, heavy artillery and aircraft, as well as the production lines of various weapons and ammunition, as well as various civilian factories, has almost been completed."
Political Commissar Zhao is mainly responsible for receiving the goods this time.
Li Yunlong is mainly responsible for contacting Boss Chen, reporting to the head of the headquarters, and recruiting new soldiers.
Xing Zhiguo is mainly responsible for the training of the troops.
Wang Dehou led the combat staff to formulate air strike plans and emergency plans.
Everyone has their own tasks, busy and fulfilling.
The amount of weapons, ammunition, combat supplies and enemy quotas earned this time is the same as before, half of which will be handed over to the headquarters.
Although Li Yunlong always said that if the seizures and business had not been handed over to superiors, the new regiment would have expanded to four to five hundred thousand people.
But Li Yunlong also knew it very well.
Without the support of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, even if the new regiment can be expanded to 400,000 to 500,000 people, the army will not have much combat effectiveness.
Modern warfare is not more than anyone else.
Weapons and equipment, soldiers' individual qualities, fighting will and organizational skills are also important.
"Very good! The delivery speed this time is faster than I expected." Li Yunlong nodded, his expression extremely satisfied.
The wealth gained from annihilating the North China Front this time was greater than ever before.
"I estimate that Boss Chen used all strategic transport aircraft and strategic helicopters, and it took only half a month to transport various weapons and production lines."
Zhao Gang smiled slightly and felt happy:
"Then there will be ammunition for various weapons, as well as nearly 20,000 cars and armored vehicles, food and fuel and other vehicles and supplies."
"After this battle is won, our Eighth Route Army will be able to expand its main force by approximately 300,000, and its overall firepower will more than double!"
Li Yunlong nodded and nodded with satisfaction: "The quota for killing and wounding Japanese soldiers alone exceeds 210,000. One Japanese soldier's quota can be exchanged for fifty or sixty firearms for one soldier, which translates into weapons for 210,000 people."
In addition to conventional Type 5 and 6 guns, these weapons also include bazookas, large-caliber heavy machine guns, 60mm, 82mm and flamethrowers and other infantry weapons.
In addition, coupled with the captured Japanese and puppet army equipment, the main force can be expanded by at least 100,000.
At present, the Eighth Route Army is not rich enough, so the main force is equipped with Type 56 firearms.
Uniformly dressed in gray military uniforms, each soldier has a gun, and a force with dozens of rounds of ammunition per capita can be considered the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
Coupled with the expanded artillery and tank troops, the number is at least tens of thousands.
Zhao Gang's statement of the expansion of 30 troops is still a bit conservative.
After a slight pause, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff, let the Air Force hold a celebration party and reward the pilots and crew members based on their merits."
"yes!"
Wang Dehou turned around and walked outside the regiment headquarters.
"This time I'm going to the headquarters for a meeting."
Zhao Gang picked up the tea cup and poured himself water, and said: "I heard that the headquarters will be in our Eighth Route Army base area to implement the land reform policy, which means allocating fields to the people. This is a good policy, and it will exempt the people from taxes for three years.
"
Zhao Gang took a flight from Beiping Xijiao Airport to the Taiyuan headquarters yesterday to report on work, and then took a flight back to Peiping in the morning.
"Really?" Li Yunlong suddenly became happy and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Why are these people fighting so hard?
Isn’t it just so that the poor people all over China can live a good life without being bullied and have enough food and clothing?
The so-called revolution is actually rebellion, which means living with your head in your belt.
As long as the revolution fails to succeed, the days of wearing your head in your belt will never end.
And some Chinese people are about to live the life that Li Yunlong dreamed of. How can Li Yunlong be unhappy?
"It's true." Zhao Gang said, "The policy has reached the headquarters, and the headquarters is preparing to distribute it to local governments for formal implementation this spring."
Regarding land reform, free local government implements it.
