The chief of staff studied at the Frunze Military Academy and has an unusually high vision.
He naturally knows that even the Soviet Union currently does not have a long-range heavy bomber in sight.
With a range of 7,000 kilometers and a bomb load of 10 tons, this is a powerful weapon that can change the war.
If there are enough of these bombers, they can even blow the small country Japan back to the Stone Age, which will greatly weaken Japan's war potential.
With this range and bomb load, the chief of staff quickly guessed what Li Yunlong was going to do.
This kind of bomber is definitely a first-class strategic weapon no matter which country it is in.
Moreover, even if an average country has heavy long-range bombers, it does not have many resources to support long-range bombing missions.
Because the required strategic materials such as fuel and aerial bombs are not affordable by ordinary countries.
but.
There was a big benefactor behind Li Yunlong, and with the full support of Boss Chen, the Eighth Route Army could really blow up the Japanese devils.
Even the chief on the side couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and looked at Li Yunlong with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"That's right, chief, chief of staff."
In the eyes of the chief and chief of staff, Li Yunlong did not hide anything and nodded:
"This time, I will bomb Japan and let the local Japanese have a taste of what it feels like to be bombed."
"Is it feasible?"
The chief is looking forward to it and is also very interested in bombing Japan.
“Highly feasible!”
Li Yunlong nodded and said:
"Boss Chen will provide aviation bombs, aviation fuel and technical support, as well as bomber crew instructors to train our bomber crew members."
"Currently we have too few pilots, otherwise we could exchange for more long-range bombers to bomb Japan."
Many of Boss Chen's pilots are ace pilots with rich experience in flying combat missions.
However, Boss Chen’s pilots only serve as instructors and will not fly combat missions with Eighth Route Army pilots.
"Our aviation school has been initially built."
The chief said helplessly: "In addition, we are recruiting pilots through overseas channels, but I don't have any pilots for you in a short period of time."
Li Yunlong nodded, and that was all he could do for now.
However, being able to dispatch 50 long-range bombers is already very good, and it will definitely give the local devils a big surprise.
Next, Li Yunlong told the boss and chief of staff about the business offered by Boss Chen.
"oh?"
The eyes of the chief and chief of staff lit up.
The enemy's aircraft carrier is definitely the flesh of the enemy's palm. If you shoot a rabbit in the grass and blow up the enemy's aircraft carrier, it will definitely make the enemy's flesh hurt for a long time.
"Li Yunlong, just go ahead and do it!"
"If there are any difficulties that need to be solved by the headquarters, if they can be solved, the headquarters will definitely solve them. If they cannot be solved, the headquarters will also find a way to solve them for you."
The head of the headquarters is ready to give full support to the bombing of Tokyo and Japanese aircraft carriers.
"yes!"
Li Yunlong straightened up.
…
Two days later.
Taiyuan.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
In the war room.
Li Yunlong, the commander, and the chief of staff discussed the next expansion of the Eighth Route Army and the direction of the army's attack in the operations hall.
Li Yunlong pointed at the map and analyzed.
"Chief, Chief of Staff."
"We have now recovered all of Shanxi, and most of Shanxi belongs to our Eighth Route Army."
"Next we will definitely counterattack the entire North China, and even the Japanese-occupied areas throughout China."
"But before we counterattack, we must first digest the seizures from this battle and the transaction price."
The chief of staff nodded and said.
"That's right, the boss and I both mean the same thing. We can't deal with the Japanese quickly, and our current capital doesn't support this."
Protracted war, this is also the general strategic policy formulated by YA.
The weapons, equipment and combat supplies seized in this battle were enough to expand the Eighth Route Army to a maximum of about 35,000 troops with Japanese weapons and equipment.
Many of the Japs' weapons and equipment were either blown up during the battle, or the Japs destroyed their weapons before they died.
If the Sword Squadron had not captured the Japanese Taiyuan Arsenal and seized a large number of Japanese spare weapons, there would not even be Japanese weapons and equipment for 35,000 people.
but.
Neither the head of the headquarters nor Li Yunlong expected to make much money from the seizure.
What really made a fortune was the business with Boss Chen. After this battle, the weapons and equipment the Eighth Route Army earned from Boss Chen could equip a main force of more than 200,000 people, and they were all new weapons and equipment like the New Regiment, and
Heavy artillery and other heavy firepower.
Moreover, in the last battle, the Eighth Route Army participated in the battle, and all the weapons and ammunition used in the battle were reimbursed by Boss Chen, which was also a major expense.
"When the troops counterattack, my new regiment will definitely be the main offensive, so I plan to expand the new regiment by 50,000 people and increase the troop strength to 100,000."
Li Yunlong took a sip of water while paying attention to the expressions of the chief and chief of staff.
Li Yunlong estimated that when he said this, the commander would be surprised, and said: "You have a regiment of 100,000 troops, your kid has such a big appetite, you are not afraid to support it?"
But contrary to Li Yunlong's expectations, the leader and chief of staff were surprisingly calm.
Even the leader curled his lips disdainfully, looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Expand the number by 50,000 people? You are so petty! What do you think of the new group? This time we have to expand the number by 70,000 or 80,000 people."
Li Yunlong's expression was stunned. Why was the reaction of the head of the headquarters different from what he imagined?
"Commander, Chief of Staff, if we expand the strength by 70,000 to 80,000 people, then our new regiment will have 120,000 or 130,000 main troops." Li Yunlong said with wide eyes.
"What happened to the 120,000 to 30,000 troops?"
The head of the headquarters was not worried at all and waved his hand and said:
"The 129th Division has a main force plus militiamen of four to five hundred thousand. Your regiment of 120 to 30 thousand troops is just a piece of cake."
Li Yunlong's expression was stunned again. Although the new regiment of 120,000 to 30,000 men was still a regiment in terms of organization, its scale had already reached that of a corps.
But then again, the New One Corps is simply called the New One Regiment, which makes sense.
The chief of staff smiled slightly: "Are you worried about the soldiers?"
"Soldiers are indeed a problem." Li Yunlong said bluntly, "To be honest, our new regiment in the defense area in northwest Shanxi has been drained of young men suitable to join the army."
"Don't worry about this." The chief of staff smiled, "The Jizhong Military Region has reported to the headquarters that it is preparing to select 50,000 militiamen for your new regiment. These 50,000 militiamen are all high-quality militiamen. In addition, the headquarters has decided to recruit 50,000 militiamen from the Taihang Military Region in the southeast of Shanxi Province.
, Taiyue Military Region selects 30,000 high-quality militiamen to join your new regiment. The Anti-Japanese University just graduated a batch of battalion and company level officers in the first half of this year. I will give them all to you. How about it? Now the problems of soldiers and officers have been solved.
?”
The headquarters also tasted the benefits from Li Yunlong.
Therefore, the chief decided to fully support Li Yunlong in building a new regiment.
As long as the new regiment is strong, the Eighth Route Army will have inexhaustible aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery and warships.
Li Yunlong looked overjoyed and said with gratitude: "Thank you, chief! Thank you, chief!"
Li Yunlong also didn't expect that he had just given a big surprise to the head of the headquarters, and the head of the headquarters also gave him a big surprise.
