() In addition, the annual output is more than 300,000 tons of chemical fertilizers, more than 20 million antibiotics, more than 10,000 cars, more than 12 million tons of cement, more than 15 million tons of coal, and more than 300,000 tons of refined oil (because the oil refining industry started very early
, the refineries in the Central Plains Border Region and the Northwest Frontier Region are sufficient to digest all the crude oil produced.) The results of various industrial sectors are also very encouraging. However, in the war environment, in addition to the military industry, the fastest growing industries are
Can there be other industrial sectors?
According to incomplete statistics, in 1938, arsenals in major border areas produced more than 1 billion rounds of various types of ammunition. Gone are the days when the People's Army was running out of bullets. However, despite the hand grenades and rifle grenades that were the favorites of soldiers in the past,
Because the artillery and air force are getting stronger, the demand is relatively lower.
dropped, but the output in 1938 still doubled from the previous year, reaching 2 million and 400,000 respectively. Even if the artillery shells were supplemented by the seizure of artillery shells, the total output in 1938 exceeded 100,000.
fired, and that’s without counting the more than 300,000 rounds of mortar shells
The output of light weapons also increased by leaps and bounds compared with the previous year. In 1938, a total of more than 200,000 semi-automatic rifles, more than 100,000 assault rifles, more than 400,000 submachine guns were produced (most of which were "exported"), and tens of thousands of machine guns of various types.
There are nearly 4,000 mortars and more than 2,000 rocket launchers. Although they cannot fully meet the needs of the People's Army's rapid growth, they are many times better than before.
An even bigger breakthrough was the heavy weapons that could not be produced in 1937. After entering 1938, mass production began. Among them, the output of barrel artillery reached more than 600 (including more than 100 of various calibers).
anti-aircraft artillery), and the production of aircraft and tanks has exceeded 100. Although most of them are assembled from captured or recycled spare parts, and the aircraft are mainly trainers, it is already a huge improvement compared to before.
Got it
It is precisely because of such an increasingly strong industrial and military foundation that the Red Party can continuously launch major offensives, especially when two heavy armored divisions, which are very good at supplying supplies, go all the way to the Northeast battlefield to support. This was simply unimaginable before.

After these two ace troops, Mr. Lin, who had always been cautious in using troops, couldn't help but feel heroic. He unexpectedly marched eastward with a mere 300,000 troops and successively captured Yingkou and other places. He killed and captured tens of thousands of Japanese troops at a minimal cost.
Later, the troops were directed towards Shenyang, the important town of the puppet Manchukuo.
For a time, the people of the Japanese Kwantung Army were panicked, while the Chinese people in the Northeast were greatly confident. At the same time, the South Manchu Column, which once only had more than 3,000 people left, also took advantage of the good opportunity when the main force of the Kwantung Army in South Manchuria was contained, and quickly
Forming a war-like situation, not only quickly restored the Changbai Mountain base area, but also actively expanded outwards and seized the
Multiple counties and developed the armed force to 100,000 guns. As expected by Chief Gao Yuan, South Manchuria is relatively densely populated due to the unique struggle environment in the Northeast. This is not a good thing for guerrilla warfare, but as long as it can survive
Entering the counter-offensive stage, the potential of Southern Manchuria was incomparable to that of Northern Manchuria, which was vast and sparsely populated.
But just when the situation in the Northeast Anti-Japanese War was looking good, the Soviet government
Fu secretly negotiated peace with the Japanese army without telling the Red Army. During this period, Zhukov, who had been very happy with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, after receiving the order from the Supreme Command, apologized to Xu and Gao and had no choice but to lead the troops.
Withdrew from the Soviet Union.
Fang didn't know the bad news until then. He quickly sent a message to all major military regions, especially the Northeast Military Region and the North China Military Region. After learning of this sudden change, even Mr. Lin, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but vomited several times.
Dirty words
However, "a blessing in disguise was a blessing in disguise." Such unjust actions by the Soviet Union confirmed to Germany that China and the Soviet Union were indeed at odds with each other, thus strengthening their determination to win over China. Sino-German secret cooperation in negotiations
Not only was an agreement reached quickly, but the depth and breadth exceeded the initial expectations of both parties.
In order to show its sincerity, Germany first unconditionally presented a large amount of important equipment that Hu Weidong had longed for to the Red Party. Even if the cost was calculated, the price was as high as more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and among them, Germany has always been proud of.
Military precision machine tools and the world's unique 30,000-ton die forging hydraulic press and the world's most advanced 15,000-ton hydraulic press
You-type hydraulic press (the Soviet Union also has this, it is also a German technology.) and many other strategic machines and equipment that cannot be bought with money. However, considering that the Red Party has spent 1.5 billion US dollars to replace Germany
A huge debt of 2 billion US dollars was paid off, and the Germans even "took" several copies of Hu Weidong's design drawings for free. It is only right that they reciprocate now.
After trust was established, the transaction volume between the two parties began to increase rapidly. According to some information declassified many years later, between April 1939 and 1941, the total value of machinery and equipment imported by Red China from Germany alone was as high as 3 billion.
More than US dollars. At the same time, Germany’s government
fu has also sent tens of thousands of scientific and technological experts (although the number is not very large, but they are all real scientific and technological experts, at least senior engineers, not the kind who pretended to be ordinary technicians when the Soviet Union aided China in history) to support China.
Various constructions, including even the world's
For a world-class giant, if this is all converted into money, it is by no means a small amount. But even so, because the debts settled alone amounted to 2 billion U.S. dollars (note 1), the Germans still could not spend all the money.
All the hard currency in the hands of the Reds (and about $1 billion)
Note 1: At first glance, there is not much difference between settling accounts with China and settling accounts with the United States, but in fact it is not the case. On the one hand, Germany can transfer technology to China to offset its debt; on the other hand, the Chinese need German machinery and equipment, while the Americans only need
Hard currency, but in the context of the economic crisis, the world's major powers have set up trade barriers to restrict the import of industrial products. Resources have to be imported, but the export of industrial products is very difficult for Germany. It is natural that Germany has a long-term trade deficit.
It is possible to earn US dollars through foreign trade. Therefore, Germany is able to pay off the US$2 billion debt in the hands of the Chinese, but it is impossible to repay the money owed to the United States. Besides, the United States will definitely be Germany’s future enemy (on the one hand, Germany
It still owes the United States at least five to six billion US dollars in debt. On the other hand, Germany wants to become the world's hegemon. The United States, the largest industrial country and economic power, will have to face it sooner or later.
