Chapter 26 Yuncheng

Objectively speaking, this time period is actually the best time for the Japanese to attack China.

The reason is that this is the time when China's comprehensive anti-Japanese war is weakest.

External: Both Mao Bear and Eagle Sauce have no time to take care of China, and the aid has dropped sharply.

Inside: China is filled with defeatist ideas, and many people even patriotic young people think that China cannot defeat the Japanese.

Under this presupposition, the stubborn army either thinks of "Liang Jie Case" or surrender, without any determination and will to resist.

The most difficult period for foreign players was 42 years, when the Japanese blocked the China-Myanmar highway so that foreign players could only rely on planes to fly over Mount Everest to transport.

But that was after Hawkshop joined the war.

Due to the participation of Yingshang, most people in China, especially the top leaders of the stubborn army, changed their defeatist ideas and believed that the failure of the Japanese was only a matter of time... So a considerable number of the armistice factions and surrendered factions turned into the War of Resistance. Therefore, the determination to resist the Japanese was firm and their morale was rising again, and the Japanese were more difficult to fight.

Fortunately, the Japanese had not given up on the intention of Mao Wang at this time, so they missed this opportunity.

The leader nodded and said, "This situation that Comrade Wang Xuexin said is possible, but we should be careful not to happen and avoid not being prepared at that time!"

"Yes!" the chief of staff continued: "We can plan what we should do if the Japanese are ready to fight the bears, and what we should do if the Japanese are ready to fight the stubborn army!"

Li Yunlong replied without thinking: "I want me to say, let's do nothing, let them call!"

The comrades laughed with a "coaxing" sound.

Ding Wei stood up and analyzed: "Chief, Chief of Staff, I think if the Japanese fight against the bears, we can do nothing. Their battlefield is in the north and we are beyond our reach. But if the bears go south, we must attack their transportation lines so that the Japanese supplies cannot be transported to the front line smoothly. This is also a kind of support for the stubborn army and a cooperation within our ability to cooperate in the war of resistance."

"I agree!" Kong Jie said: "If it were in the past, we might have no choice but to deal with the Japanese. After the Hundred Regiments War, the bullets were almost all fired, and the guns were damaged in large quantities, so they could not even be fired. But now, the foreign Japanese sent 20,000 rifles and 10 million bullets in one go, which is enough for our army to fight another Hundred Regiments War!"

Another regiment commander stood up excitedly and said, "It's the time for a bumper harvest. The Japanese have snatched a lot of food from the people. If we fight another 100-regiment battle at this moment, we will definitely be able to snatch a lot of food from the Japanese!"

The cadres nodded in agreement.

The last time the Hundred Regiments War was launched was winter, and most of the food was stored in the warehouses in the county towns, and not much of the Eighth Route Army seized.

This time it was different. Before the Japanese had time to transport the grain robbed by the people, they might have many unexpected gains when launching a counterattack!

But Wang Xuexin didn't think this was a good idea.

Because the grain problem in the base area has actually been alleviated at this time, basic food and clothing can still be solved with the support of "large production" and "Chinese Storage Coupons".

In this case, thinking about breaking traffic or robbing food from the Japanese... the level is low.

The leader seemed to feel dissatisfied, and he was thinking about another problem: the last time it was unexpectedly a traffic raid came. This time the Japanese were ready, and this time they went like this... I am afraid that the results would not be as big as I imagined.

Not only will there be no results, but there will be heavy casualties.

Thinking of this, he raised his head to Wang Xuexin and asked, "Comrade Wang Xuexin, tell me what you think!"

"Chief!" Wang Xuexin stood up and replied: "I think so. What we lack most now is not food, but guns and bullets! We have more than 400,000 troops. If these more than 400,000 troops can be equipped with guns and enough bullets, the Japanese will be afraid to be awakened in their dreams! What food and transportation lines are there? Then, if you want it, go to the Japanese and the puppet army to grab them?"

The leader nodded slightly to agree.

If we count the number of rifles that are normally available, plus the 20,000 Citigroups that have just arrived, the Eighth Route Army has only more than 30,000 troops available.

This amount of troops can only be defended in the mountains, and they still have the will to fight regular battles with the Japanese on the plains but not enough.

The Chief of Staff looked at Wang Xuexin in confusion and asked: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, have we already obtained the rifle production line from the foreign devils? Once the production line starts to produce, there will be more than 10,000 units per month, and there will be bullet machines..."

"Chief of Staff!" Wang Xuexin replied: "The problem is that there is insufficient raw materials, especially steel and copper. We plan to produce new rifles from the steel of old guns to produce bullets from the collected bullet shells. But such steel is limited after all, and it can be foreseen that in just a few months, all the raw materials will be used up, and the production line will have to be stopped at that time!"

Everyone can understand Wang Xuexin's words.

If you use steel from old guns to produce new guns, no matter what the loss is, it will produce more than 70,000 units. What should you do then?

Digging the Japanese rails... that was just a small amount of dealing with them, and it could not support the production of 10,000 rifles a month.

The leader asked: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, tell me, how can we maintain the production capacity of the production line!"

The leader thinks this is indeed a big problem.

As the saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong. Only when one is strong can one have higher initiative, more bases, and more manpower, financial resources and material resources.

Therefore, the most urgent task at present is to arm the troops and comprehensively improve combat effectiveness, otherwise no matter what they do, they will be restricted.

Wang Xuexin replied: "Chief, I think we should run into Yuncheng!"

All the cadres in the conference room were shocked, and even Li Yunlong was no exception.

Li Yunlong stared blankly at Wang Xuexin's direction for a while but didn't come back to his senses. He thought to himself, this kid is promising, his appetite is getting bigger and bigger!

The leader smiled and said, "Yuncheng, it is a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands. There is the strength of a division of the Japanese. It's not just a matter of fighting!"

"What's more," the chief of staff continued, "After capturing Yuncheng, will we be able to hold on? Will this put us in a passive state?"

Wang Xuexin understood the meaning of the Chief of Staff.

The Eighth Route Army's combat purpose is to "regard the gains and losses of a city and a place", that is, to preserve the vitality and can be transferred at any time.

This made the Eighth Route Army more flexible in tactics and was not easily dragged by the Japanese and could not get out of it.

But now if Yuncheng is captured...

So, should we send troops to garrison?

If troops were sent to garrison, would it be easier to be surrounded by the Japanese?

If you are surrounded by the Japanese, will you be forced to fight a frontal offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese?

And it is an urban offensive and defensive battle without a backscene position...

"Chief of Staff!" Wang Xuexin replied: "What I said about attacking Yuncheng is not to directly take down Yuncheng. Of course, it can also be taken down if necessary. But at present, we can use the terrain to compress the Japanese forces around Yuncheng. If the Japanese can be compressed into the city and dare not leave the city to move easily, our army can..."

"Make more resources in Yuncheng!" The leader nodded thoughtfully.
Chapter completed!
