Chapter 183: Helpless Exchange

Compared with the general commander and several people who heard the news about the outbreak of the Battle of Nomonhan, they showed that even if they were deliberately suppressing it, they were very excited. They heard that at least for now, history has not changed because of their arrival. The Battle of Nomonhan

According to the history he knew, the outbreak happened as scheduled, and Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. [.Com text]

This battle is a very important step for Yang Zhen. If it is taken advantage of, it will be a rare opportunity. According to Yang Zhen's understanding of history, the Soviet Union's change in attitude towards the Anti-Alliance began after this battle.

The Soviet army was eager to understand the movements of the Kwantung Army. Although it was only for the purpose of taking advantage of the Anti-Alliance, it also provided a rare resting place for the Anti-Alliance.

After the Battle of Nomenhan, the Soviet army not only released the imprisoned generals of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but also provided some rare supplies to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Although the amount was not large, it was still some supplement.

For now, the scale of this conflict is much larger than that of the Zhanggufeng conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union that lasted less than a month last year. It can be called a battle, and it can temporarily draw the Kwantung Army's attention.

Part of it is attracted to the past. At least temporarily, let yourself get some breathing time and time to prepare for the future.

Yang Zhen, who already had a plan in mind, after listening to the broadcast, the one he seized from Jiamusi was far better than the one he was using. The one he got at the Wudaoling Iron Mine was not a military map. At best, it was a map of the entire North.

I took out the military map of Sanjiang Province, which was full of resources and was much more detailed.

After laying out the map, Yang Zhen took a red and blue pencil and drew a large circle in the north of Tangyuan along the Songhua River, including all of Heli and Luobei counties and part of Wuyun County.

Inside.

Putting down the pencil in his hand, Yang Zhen pointed at the map and said to the Commander-in-Chief: "Commander-in-Chief, I have always had an idea in my mind, which is to open up direct contact with the Soviet Union. Look, Luobei in the north of Tangyuan, Foshan

The county is across the river from the Soviet Union. If we seize all or part of these two counties, it will be of great benefit to us."

"Now the Soviet Army and the Kwantung Army are clashing in the Inner Mongolia region of Western Manchuria. According to my estimation, the two sides are likely to break out into a large-scale battle. The reason is very simple. Both sides want to find out the other side's truth. Especially since last year

Since Major General Li Xiukov of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs defected with a large amount of confidential information, both sides have been eager to know the other side's truth."

"Especially for the Soviet Union, because of Lysiukov's defection, its Far East region has almost no secrets. Even if they have adjusted their deployment, it will be difficult to completely get rid of the impact of this matter unless they mobilize a large number of troops from Europe. So.

Eager to find out the next move of the Japanese army is an urgent task before them."

"For this kind of test, under the strict confidentiality measures of the Japanese army, there is no better way than to fight a battle. Even if the Japanese army does not want to expand the scale of the conflict, the Soviets will not agree. As for the Japanese army,

The Japanese army, which has always been arrogant and looked down upon the Soviet army, would not be willing to show weakness in front of the Soviets, their defeated general."

"What's more, this kind of conflict is also the best opportunity for the Japanese army to test the true combat effectiveness of the Soviet army in the Far East. If last year's Zhanggufeng conflict could only be called a battle-scale conflict, both sides still maintained relative restraint, then this year's conflict

The scale of the conflict will not be small. Even if the Japanese base camp disagrees, the Kwantung Army, which is used to being arrogant, will not give up."

"The level of firepower of the Japanese army is an absolute advantage for the poor and weak Chinese army. But facing the powerful Soviet army, it is not worth mentioning. Therefore, in order to win this battle, the Kwantung Army is bound to

Focus our main efforts there. This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for us."

"I estimate that the scale of this conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union in the Nomenhan area will be very large. But one thing is for sure, it will definitely not become the trigger for a full-scale war between Japan and the Soviet Union. The Soviet army is still focused on

In Europe, before Japan is fully mobilized, it does not have the national strength to cope with a two-front war. At least until China is completely solved, they will not break out a full-scale war with the Soviet Union. Their national strength cannot bear it."

"I estimate that the battlefield battle will only last a few months at most. However, although the battle between the two sides will last for a while, it may even be longer. How to seize the rare time of a few months is also a test for us.

.”

"Today, for us, the Puppet Manchukuo Army, which was able to show off its power in front of the Anti-Japanese Alliance because of its supply advantages and strong military strength, is no longer worth mentioning. For the Puppet Manchukuo Army, whether it is firepower or training,

The level has exceeded theirs. So once the Kwantung Army’s attention is attracted to Nomenhan, it will be a great opportunity for us to expand the scope of our activities.”

"We now have an arsenal, but we lack raw materials. Under the siege of the Japanese army, although we have won consecutive battles, our scope of activities can only be limited to the mountainous areas. If this continues, we will not be absolutely sure of defeating the plains.

Before we gain the upper hand over the Japanese army, our supply of food and soldiers will be in trouble."

"So, we must fight out. The first is to obtain a stable food and soldier supply base. The second is to open up direct contact with the Soviets. In order to obtain military raw materials, medicines and other urgently needed military supplies that we cannot produce.

"

"But one thing is that we must be mentally prepared. The Soviets will not risk a total war between Japan and the Soviet Union and support us in a big way. And unless a total war breaks out between Japan and the Soviet Union, they will both use us and

Suppress us. Maybe there will be some aid, but definitely not too much."

"There is no pie in the sky, and even if there is, it will not fall on our heads. Since the Soviets will not provide us with materials for free, we can exchange them with the blueprints of weapons. They can be used in Jiamusi

Use the seized gold to buy it.”

Having said this, Yang Zhen paused for a moment, raised his head and looked at the few people staring at him, and then said: "There is also artificial synthesis technology that can produce penicillin in large quantities."

If the commander-in-chief and Li Yanping, who have been blocked in the Northeast and have little contact with the outside world, still do not understand the importance of penicillin, a special antibiotic that saved a large number of wounded during World War II, and Yang Zhen said that it can be used in exchange

If the value of a large amount of so-called medicine is not very clear.

But Guo Bingxun is very aware of the importance of this special antibiotic, which is said to be worth one tael of gold per pill. He also knows how valuable Yang Zhen's words are if they are true.

In later generations, due to the advancement of production technology, the output of this drug was extremely large and it was available everywhere. At this time, because of the level of production technology, it could only be synthesized naturally and could not be mass-produced, so the output was scarce. The output itself was not large, and because of its special effects

It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, so it is almost equivalent to gold.

Guo Bingxun almost couldn't believe his ears when he heard that Yang Zhen actually knew this mass production method of special antibiotics, which currently only relied on natural synthesis and was rarely produced.

It can be said to be a sky-high price. You must know that the value of natural synthetic penicillin imported from Europe and the United States is almost equivalent to gold.

But how is this possible? At this time, even Western European and American countries do not have the ability to produce penicillin on a large scale. The so-called production capacity is almost made in small quantities in laboratories. Even in European and American countries, it is extremely expensive and difficult for ordinary people to consume.

of.

Therefore, when Yang Zhen, who had never been abroad and had not even been exposed to the pharmaceutical industry before, claimed that he knew the artificial synthesis technology of penicillin, Guo Bingxun, who had doubts about Yang Zhen's words for the first time, almost looked at him in disbelief.

he.

Seeing the indifference on the faces of the commander-in-chief and Li Yanping, and the shock on Guo Bingxun's face, Yang Zhen smiled. He did not explain too much, but nodded firmly to Guo Bingxun, who looked in disbelief.

nod.

There is no mistake, Yang Zhen does know the technology of artificially synthesizing penicillin. Not only does he know it, but he also knows almost everything about its production process.

In later generations, because of his family background, Yang Zhen worked as a summer job for three years in a pharmaceutical factory in this city when he was in high school. The scale was small and the production equipment was still that of the 1950s and 1960s. The main products of the pharmaceutical factory were various

An injectable antibiotic, its flagship product was penicillin, now known as penicillin.

Although that factory later had outdated production equipment and failed to update its products in time. When new and updated penicillin products such as cephalosporin and Pioneer were everywhere on the market, it was still producing the obsolete penicillin potassium, which made the market narrower and narrower.

The product backlog is serious.

In addition, he got a job and got home. Within a few years, a prosperous pharmaceutical factory, which was once a major profit and tax maker in this city, was bankrupted by the director who had no money. But he worked in the production workshop for three years.

, the three years of summer work that supported him through high school allowed Yang Zhen to master the artificial synthesis method and production process of penicillin.

Although these things that Yang Zhen mastered were almost worthless in later generations. As long as they were produced by a pharmaceutical factory with a relatively large scale, the formulas and production processes could even be found by searching online. But now, it is

A huge fortune. If Yang Zhen had the opportunity to go abroad, just relying on this technology would be enough to create wealth that would rival his country's.

Seeing Yang Zhen nodding firmly towards him, Guo Bingxun's expression became solemn. After explaining the function and value of this drug to the commander-in-chief and Li Yanping who looked confused, he said to Yang Zhen: "Commander, since you

If you understand this technology, do you think we can produce it ourselves now? It is much better for us to exchange products than to simply sell technology."

"As far as I know, this product is almost as valuable as gold on the black market in the customs. It is said that one medicine is worth one tael of gold. If the water flows slowly over time, it is better than a one-time deal. After all, we will still need money and supplies in places in the future.

A lot. With this technology in hand, as long as it can be produced, we can use it to exchange materials anytime and anywhere."

Regarding Guo Bingxun's idea, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "We don't have production equipment, the necessary personnel, or even a stable production environment. We lack all the basis for producing this kind of drug, how can we produce it? We are like an empty one at the moment.

There is a mountain of treasure that one cannot dig by oneself."

"Lao Guo, I also understand what you are saying. I am not willing to use this precious technology to exchange for materials that may even be a drop in the bucket. But there is no way, this is the reality. Although it is cruel, it is forced.

You have to bow your head."

At this point, Yang Zhen pointed at the map, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not say these discouraging words. Now tell me about my plan? My idea is to strengthen Liu Changshun's second regiment, which is currently relatively intact.

The first regiment mobilized the most complete battalion and strengthened the mountain artillery battalion to attack north along the Xiaoxinganling Mountains."

"Occupy Heli, Luobei, Foshan, and Wuyun, create guerrilla base areas, and open up connections with the Soviet Union. Stationed in this area is part of the 37th Regiment of the Japanese Army. This 37th Regiment is still concentrated in Jiamusi,

Moreover, our subordinates are defeated, so there is some threat to us, but it is not too big. As long as we can command effectively, it is not difficult to open up a communication line."

"Just because of the lack of troops, we have little hope of occupying all these counties, but we must at least occupy Foshan and the western areas of Heli and Luobei counties. We can use the Xiaoxingan Mountains as a barrier to the west, and we can move eastward to the Sanjiang Plain at any time.

.And rely on the large number of workers in the coal mines in the Heli area to expand the army."

After talking about his thoughts, Yang Zhen said with some regret: "It's just that these three counties are not big and have a small population. Many places can even be said to be sparsely populated. Although it can open up a road to the outside world for us.

Channel, but it cannot meet our needs for food and soldier replenishment.

The replenishment of soldiers and food has always been Yang Zhen's biggest headache. Even if the soldiers can be replenished through labor from the Heli area, it is difficult to raise the full amount of food for the tens of thousands of troops. The population of the entire Sanjiang area

It's really rare compared to other places.

Although I am not afraid of the Japanese army's plan to return villages and merge households, and I don't care about the Japanese army building defense facilities outside the so-called group tribes. But the key is how much food can be captured by conquering these group tribes? I can't use even the food I don't have much.

Should we exchange the capital with the Soviet Union?

Although he knew that what he wanted to get from this attack would not be too much, for the sake of future development, Yang Zhen knew that even if he did not want to attack, he had to go out. It was a matter of time.

"Use the Second Regiment as the main force to strengthen the first force, with Liu Changshun as the commander, Wang Minggui as the political commissar, and Ma Chunsheng as the chief of staff to form a northbound detachment. After intensive training for half a month, we will launch an attack to the north." Yang Zhen said with finality.
