Due to the appearance of Boss Chen and a large amount of material support, the Eighth Route Army obtained a large base area in advance.
"Land reform" in another time and space also appeared in advance.
This policy was tantamount to draining fuel from the bottom of the cauldron for both the Chinese and Japanese troops.
The Eighth Route Army is not short of food now, and once the three-year tax-free policy came out, it was even more embarrassing.
But the leaders who fought all the way from Jinggangshan to North China knew very well.
If you want to keep this victory, it is not enough to rely on the support of the people. You must have a strong army that dares to fight and win as a backing.
Otherwise, land reform will be just a castle in the air.
Just when I was about to sleep, someone brought me pillows. The heads of the headquarters, as well as the big bosses from YA, all looked at the communications staff expectantly.
To be precise, it was the telegram in the hands of the communications staff officer.
The chief of staff quickly took the telegram from the communications staff officer.
At this sight, the chief of staff's eyes quickly widened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, and a smile quickly crept onto his face.
"How much equipment did Li Yunlong earn from this battle?" A leader asked impatiently, looking forward to it.
The chiefs attending the meeting all looked at the chief of staff expectantly.
Regarding other data on this battle, Li Yunlong has reported to the headquarters various data such as the casualties of the troops, the number of casualties and prisoners, as well as ammunition consumption, weapon loss, and seizures.
Every soldier who died in battle received a generous pension.
Injured soldiers can receive treatment from the best doctors and the best medicines in the world.
The preferential treatment policy for captured Japanese and puppet soldiers was reduced. Except for the Japanese and puppet soldiers who had harmed the Eighth Route Army and the common people, they were shot to death. The rest were sent to northwest Shanxi to grow potatoes, dig coal, and mine in Baotou.
Boss Chen will provide reimbursement for ammunition consumption and weapon loss, and all the leaders know this.
The weapons, ammunition and various combat materials seized in this battle were very rich, more abundant than those seized in any previous battle, and were enough to make the Eighth Route Army a fortune.
But these seizures are nothing compared to the business gains of Li Yunlong and Boss Chen.
"There's a lot of business in this battle!"
Under everyone's extremely expectant eyes, the chief of staff read out the telegram:
"1200 122mm howitzers, 750 152mm howitzers, 550 Katyusha rocket launchers, 800 tanks, 300,000 tons of combat supplies, fuel..."
"There are a total of 54 military factories, steel plants, cement plants, civilian factories, etc., and a total of 180 production lines for Type 56 guns, grenades, barrel artillery shells, smokeless powder, bullets, etc."
Listening to the chief of staff's words, the chiefs' eyes became brighter and brighter.
Wow... After the chief of staff read the telegram, all the leaders' eyes widened and they could not suppress the smiles on their faces.
"so much?"
A chief was instantly surrounded by surprise and happiness.
"Get rich!"
Another chief was overjoyed.
All the leaders were smiling at this time.
"This business is getting bigger and bigger!"
The chief of staff smiled slightly.
"Forward this telegram to YA immediately!"
The boss looked at the communications staff officer and gave the order in a happy tone.
"yes!"
The communications staff member straightened up, took the telegram from the chief of staff, turned around and left quickly.
The smiles on the faces of all the leaders suddenly became a little stronger. YA will definitely be as happy as them when he receives this telegram.
"pity…"
One of the leaders seemed to have thought of something and shook his head with a look of pity on his face.
"What's a pity?" asked the chief of staff.
The commander said: "It's a pity that the 129th Division fought brilliantly in the battle in Xuzhou, wiping out more than 60,000 Japanese main force and defeating the 11th Japanese Army. It's not in the business. Otherwise, this business can still earn at least one-third!"
"
After hearing what this chief said, all the chiefs also felt a little pity.
Although the establishment of the Japanese 11th Military Division is only a group army, the strength and weapons and equipment of this group army are no worse than those of the Japanese front army. Even because it has three A-type divisions under its jurisdiction, its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
According to Boss Chen's business, defeating the Japanese army can also be counted in the business.
Moreover, most of the Japanese troops killed by the 129th Division were Japs from the Type A Division, and they also killed three Japs major general brigade leaders.
At first, the leaders thought it was nothing to miss out on such a huge deal.
But when they saw the price of this transaction, they all felt a bit pity, as if ordinary people missed out on 100 million.
The boss said with some self-blame: "I am reviewing this matter. I did not expect the 129th Division to achieve such great results at the beginning."
"I am also responsible for this matter." The chief of staff also said, "The initial combat mission of the 129th Division was to expand the base area southward and prevent the Japanese in Central China from going north to reinforce the North China Front."
"This matter is not anyone's responsibility. It's just a matter of learning from experience and summarizing lessons."
A leader from YA waved his hand and said:
"After all, we didn't expect that the 129th Division would turn a blocking battle into a battle of annihilation, and even regain the important military location of Xuzhou."
In this battle, the 129th Division also completely established its reputation.
Major newspapers and media such as Ta Kung Pao, Xinhua Daily and Shenbao published news that the 129th Division defeated the Japanese 11th Army and recovered the lost territory of Xuzhou.
The boss nodded: "Next time there is such an opportunity, we can consider letting the 129th Division be nominally commanded by Li Yunlong. On the one hand, we can apply for battlefield airdrop supplies and reimbursement of weapons and ammunition, and on the other hand, we can earn business."
In the battle fought by the 129th Division in Xuzhou, although Li Yunlong was stuck and applied for airdrop supplies, he had no chance to reimburse weapons and ammunition and earn business value.
The airdrop supplies only include ammunition, food, medicine and other combat materials, but no weapons.
Fortunately, the 129th Division's weapons losses were not large.
In addition, although the 129th Division consumes a lot of ammunition, airdrop supplies can make up for the ammunition consumption, but the ammunition is not reimbursed, which reduces the opportunity to make a fortune.
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"..."
All the leaders expressed their opinions one after another.
Now that Boss Chen has issued a policy that Li Yunlong can nominally command his brothers' troops.
Boss Chen actually acquiesced that the Eighth Route Army could put the 129th Division under the nominal command of Li Yunlong.
certainly.
There is also a restriction on the nominal command, that is, the number of troops commanded by Li Yunlong, the nominal command cannot exceed two divisions.
But Boss Chen did not impose any restrictions on the strength and scale of the troops.
"With a strong military as a guarantee, our reform policy will surely proceed smoothly!"
One of the leaders said confidently. He had planes, tanks and heavy artillery in his hands, and he spoke forcefully.
Another big boss from YA issued an order: "Call Li Yunlong back immediately, and be sure to ask him to discuss the delivery details with Boss Chen. All troops will cooperate to receive the goods to ensure that the delivery of this business is completed smoothly!"
The chief of staff and head of headquarters must listen to this big boss.
The chief of staff quickly drafted a telegram, and after the head of the headquarters signed it, he handed it to a staff officer.
The staff officer walked out quickly with the telegram in his hand.
The big boss looked at the head of the headquarters and asked: "How long will it take for our Eighth Route Army to launch the next offensive?"
"It will take at least half a year." The head of the headquarters thought for a moment before replying, "In addition to collecting intelligence, formulating combat plans and contingency plans, and preparing combat supplies, we also need to digest and absorb the business earned from this battle.
, troop expansion and troop training will take some time."
The boss nodded with a satisfied expression: "Then expand the training force and reform at the same time."
…
After the battles in North China and Xuzhou, the little Japanese hated the Eighth Route Army deeply.
But the little devil had no choice but not even to commit massacre and revenge.
Because the little devil has already seen the ferocious tactics of the Eighth Route Army.
If you dare to commit massacre, I will send out strategic bombers to bomb your homeland.
Although the little devil has not yet reached the end of his rope, he still has some wealth.
However, at the base camp, the troops and combat materials needed to eliminate the Eighth Route Army have been assessed. At least 2 million Japanese combat troops and at least 350,000 tons of combat materials need to be mobilized.
And you may not even be able to win.
If at this time, the little devils had not taken action against the American army in the Pacific.
The little devils may also make a desperate move, mobilize 2 million combat troops and hundreds of thousands of tons of combat materials, and engage in a strategic decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army.
But now that the U.S. military has some advantages in the Pacific battlefield, the base camp has to consider some issues.
If all combat troops are transferred to North China to fight the Eighth Route Army, what if the US Army defeats the Navy and lands on the mainland?
but!
The Japanese army has always liked to gamble on the fate of the country.
In the first two times, the Japanese army gambled on the national destiny and made a lot of money.
This kind of pleasure of making a lot of money can make Japanese people secrete more dopamine.
Obviously, at this time, the Japanese base camp and the Locusts had reached the time to gamble on the fate of the country.
The Japanese base camp has received various intelligence.
The Eighth Route Army in North China has a large number of heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, as well as a large amount of fuel, various combat supplies and arsenals that the Japanese army most urgently needs, and the number is still increasing.
Although we know these weapons and ammunition, we don’t know where the combat supplies come from.
But the Japanese base camp knew that the Eighth Route Army was very rich, even richer than the British and American coalition forces in Southeast Asia.
If they can win this battle, the Japanese army can make a fortune, much bigger than what they made in Southeast Asia.
At that time, the Japanese army will be able to use these weapons, ammunition and supplies captured by the Eighth Route Army to fight the decisive battle with the American army in the Pacific.
Although it cannot mobilize 2 million combat troops and hundreds of thousands of tons of combat materials, it can mobilize less, 1 million troops and 200,000 tons of combat materials.
In addition, you can also call a helper to deal with the Eighth Route Army together.
After formulating a strategy, the Japanese army's lobbyists began to contact senior government officials.
The Japanese army promised that if the National Government and the Japanese army jointly destroyed the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army would no longer attack the National Government-occupied areas and divide China equally with the National Government.
But Principal Chang is not a fool.
Although Principal Chang's tactical command ability is not good, he still has some skills in playing politics.
Once he ordered the national army to attack the Eighth Route Army and attacked the Eighth Route Army with the Japanese army, how would it be different from the Wang Puppet Government?
Most of his direct troops will obey his command.
But those local warlords are shouting that I will never stand against evil.
Moreover, Principal Chang does not believe in the credibility of the Japanese, and the Americans will not allow him to do this.
President Chang and the Americans are now in the honeymoon period. The expeditionary force is going abroad to fight, and a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and supplies are continuously entering the southwest region through the Hump Route and the Burma Road.
Once Principal Chang joins forces with the Japanese army, the United States will definitely cut off its aid.
However, Principal Chang was also prepared to play tricks on the little Japanese, ostensibly agreeing to the Japanese, and agreeing with the Chinese army to attack the Eighth Route Army together with the Japanese army.
But the Japanese army must first cede some territory in the occupied areas to the national army.
Create an illusion that the national army has recovered the occupied areas, and first let the national army win a wave of popular support.
But the Japanese are not that easy to fool.
There is no problem if you want the Japanese army to give up the occupied areas, but your government must first sign a "Letter of Commitment to Jointly Attack the Eighth Route Army" with the Japanese army before I can give you some territory.
It is impossible for the national government to sign such a treaty with the Japanese easily.
As a result, both sides began to pull each other to the extreme for their own interests.
…
Just when the devils and the government are at odds with each other.
Boss Chen is already arranging delivery.
Every day, 10,000 tons of combat supplies, as well as thousands of trucks, tanks and hundreds of heavy artillery, enter the warehouses of the North China Eighth Route Army.
Peking.
Xijiao Airport.
A heavily armed armored convoy stopped on the airport's auxiliary runway. Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie jumped out of the car.
"Lao Li, this new armored vehicle is really good!"
Kong Jie took a picture of the new armored vehicle in desert camouflage, with a smile on his face like a chrysanthemum.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the new armored vehicle arranged by Boss Chen. The new armored vehicle is divided into two types.
One is an armored off-road vehicle used to carry important personnel. Its bulletproof effect is better than that of a bulletproof vehicle, and it can even withstand grenade attacks.
The other is a six-wheeled armored vehicle used for combat, equipped with an M2 large-caliber heavy machine gun and a 37mm artillery, used for reconnaissance or assisting tank attacks on the battlefield.
The previous first-generation half-track armored vehicle played a significant role in the offensive and was well received by front-line soldiers.
The new armored vehicles have little improvement in terms of firepower, but their performance in terms of protection and maneuverability has been greatly improved.
"This thing? It's just average."
Although he liked this armored vehicle very much in his heart, on the surface, Commander Li still said calmly.
Ding Wei said: "Old Li, is this normal? You are exaggerating. If Principal Chang from Shancheng knew that our army had obtained so many armored vehicles, would he still be drooling all over the place?"
Li Yunlong continued to fill the cup and said: "If you ask me, you two are just toads at the bottom of a well. You have never seen how big the sky is. How can this be considered a good thing in front of airplanes, heavy artillery and tanks?"
"Since you, Lao Li, don't like it," Kong Jie said, "then give these armored vehicles to me and Lao Ding. Lao Ding and I don't mind."
"I agree with Lao Kong's opinion." Ding Wei said. He and Kong Jie had long seen through Li Yunlong's innermost feelings for Xiao Jiujiu.
"I don't agree." Li Yunlong said, "Although this thing is just average, but then again, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. How can there be any reason to give all your meat to others?"
"Ha ha--"
Ding Wei and Kong Jie burst into laughter.
This wheeled armored fighting vehicle can be divided into 500 vehicles each for the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, which is very popular.
Ding Wei then asked: "Old Li, what new weapons are you showing us?"
"What new weapon?" Li Yunlong smiled slightly and said, "You will know later!"
