The transaction went smoothly. Wang Xuexin handed over part of the "Gao Huo" drawings and data to Yingjiang and Ribuluo. It was also an explanation of the transaction with the two countries. As for how they wanted to share it, that was up to them.
thing.
In addition, Wang Xuexin is thinking about another question: Is it time to find a time to make a deal with Mao Xiong?
For a long time, Wang Xuexin only sold Mao Xiong missiles but not data, which forced Mao Xiong to keep buying missiles from the Eighth Route Army.
But now, since the Eighth Route Army has sold the drawings and a complete set of data to Yingjiang and the Sun Never Sets... One day, Yingjiang gave the data to Mao Xiong, will the Eighth Route Army make less money?
Now the data of Sun Bu Luo and Ying Jiang Na has not been verified... Because it has not been verified, it is uncertain. Therefore, the data in the hands of the Eighth Route Army is more authoritative and still has an advantage over Ying Jiang and Sun Bu Luo. Mao Xiong is on the safe side.
For the sake of safety, I would still choose to trade with the Eighth Route Army instead of changing hands from Yingjiang and Sun Bu Luo.
Mao Xiong is also worried. In order to limit the development of Mao Xiong, will Yingjiang and Sun Never Set intentionally omit part of the data obtained during the transaction or will they have to change it before giving it to Mao Xiong?
This is entirely possible, especially if the sun never sets.
For example, in this world war, the winner can already be determined at this time: Hans attacked the Bear on the Eastern Front, Yingjiang and the Sun Never Set have already won the North African battlefield, and they can directly land in Gaul in Normandy
Poke a sharp knife into Hans's back, and then Hans will be completely defeated.
But the sun never sets. Under the command of the sun never sets and the Zhou clan, Yingjiang and the army of the sun never sets decide to land in Italy, which has little strategic significance and has complex terrain. To put it bluntly, they are just wasting their time watching the tigers in the mountains.
Fighting, watching Hans and Mao Xiong consume their strength.
In this situation, how could Mao Xiong trust Yingjiang and The Sun Never Sets.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin is confident in the transaction with Mao Xiong.
As for the technical advantages in missiles...
Before the Hans V1 was released, it was indeed necessary to hide it and not sell it to anyone, but once the Hans V1 entered the battlefield, the missile technology and secrets would soon spread. At this time, no matter how hard you hide it, it would be useless. This result
The point is the node where you can sell it at a good price.
If you want to maintain your technological advantage, you must take another step forward and leave others behind.
To take this step forward, we need computer and radar technology.
These things cannot be rushed. After all, the development and research and development of various technologies take time.
Wang Xuexin continues to strengthen his strength on the Datong front line.
At this time, the Datong Front had already launched a front of more than 300 kilometers with the Japanese, which was Wang Xuexin's previous battle plan to expand southward for 20 to 30 kilometers based on the railway line.
The Japanese were not believers. From their point of view, they certainly did not want the Eighth Route Army to press the battle line southward towards Taiyuan, nor did they want to see the Eighth Route Army's railway lines and airports escape the range of their long-range artillery bombardment, so they mobilized military forces to fight with the Eighth Route Army.
A tug-of-war began.
For the Japanese, this is defense and combat. They hope to win this tug-of-war.
But for Wang Xuexin, this is gathering strength, training troops, and preparing to advance into the Northeast...
Wang Xuexin did this because the Eighth Route Army rarely engaged in direct combat with the enemy, whether it was the previous battle with the stubborn army or the battle with the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War.
In guerrilla warfare, you can retreat as soon as you can't fight, and you don't have to care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, etc., but that's not the case at all in frontal combat. The emphasis in frontal combat is that you must defend or win, even if it is
Even at the cost of heavy casualties.
For example, the railway defense line established by Wang Xuexin starts from Datong and ends at the steel plant.
If the Japanese concentrate their forces to break through one point and cut off the Eighth Route Army's railway line, then this point must be captured and defended, otherwise it will affect the progress of the entire campaign and ultimately lead to a complete failure.
Therefore, this requires the troops to be able to fight hard and coordinate with other troops.
This is not a question of the number of troops, but a question of experience in regular warfare, military quality and the coordination of various arms.
The Eighth Route Army was very lacking in these aspects, so Wang Xuexin took advantage of this opportunity to train troops.
On this line of defense, the most elite troops are of course the three mechanized troops of the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, followed by ten main regiments with about 30,000 people.
However, these troops were obviously not enough, so seven regiments of troops were transferred from various places, plus the guerrillas and newly recruited militiamen, totaling 50,000 people.
The entire army, about 90,000 strong, spread out on the Datong defense line and started a fierce battle with the Japanese.
The Japanese troops only had two divisions plus three puppet divisions, a total of about 50,000 people.
In terms of infantry strength alone, although the Japs have fewer troops, they are actually stronger.
The reason is that the Eighth Route Army's only mechanized troops and ten main regiments, totaling more than 35,000 people, have the combat effectiveness to fight the Japanese.
For the rest of the troops, even the regular army has not been able to complete the replacement of rifles, let alone the artillery... Without artillery, it is almost impossible to fight the enemy head-on, unless it is to fight the enemy in tunnels like the volunteers.
The regular army is like this, not to mention the militiamen. They are still picking up Japanese rifles or equipping them with old-fashioned rifles that were eliminated after the Eighth Route Army replaced them with Springfield rifles.
This is due to the rapid expansion of the Eighth Route Army at this stage, especially after the Eighth Route Army captured Datong and launched propaganda and public opinion throughout the country. People across the country were excited because of the news. Many people traveled thousands of miles to escape from the areas controlled by the stubborn army.
After going through all kinds of hardships, he entered the Eighth Route Army Control Corps and joined the revolutionary ranks... The main route was to take a detour to the northwest, because this could avoid the Japanese blockade.
This resulted in the number of new recruits in the Eighth Route Army increasing by thousands every day, with the most number of recruits joining the militia after taking Datong.
Although these militiamen were large in number and quite a few of them were very brave, they fought in a disorganized manner and could easily suffer massive casualties on the battlefield.
Wang Xuexin still used the old method, directly dividing the regular army into two, and then adding new recruits to the regular army to take advantage of the three-three system of veterans leading new recruits to quickly form combat effectiveness.
But even so, the regular army that was originally dissatisfied with the seven regiments immediately became fourteen regiments, and each regiment was fully or even overstretched.
However, even if the three-three system can quickly form combat effectiveness, it still needs a process.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army needed this process, and at the same time, the main force also needed to complete the transformation from guerrilla warfare to regular warfare.
This transformation is painful because there will be various discomforts and inevitable casualties.
However, these are unavoidable if you want to defeat the enemy and achieve victory.
