The international focus on this battle of the Eighth Route Army is not that the Eighth Route Army defeated the Japanese with one division and one chariot brigade. Although this record is impressive enough, especially these two units were the Kwantung Army brought by Naosaburo Okabe from the Northeast.
.
This is because the Eighth Route Army has defeated the North China Front Army again and again before, and the Japanese defeated in the Taiyuan Battle were even larger than this. Now it is no longer strange.
What attracted much attention in this battle was the anti-tank missile. As soon as it appeared, it knocked out eight Japanese "Tiger" vehicles and achieved a decisive victory in the ninth company town defense battle, which became breaking news.
The furry bear, who was always slow to respond, was the first to hear the news this time.
For no reason, it's because Mao Xiong himself suffered deeply from Han tanks, especially the "Tiger"... Although Mao Xiong is equipped with rocket launchers and powerful tanks, he has always been at a disadvantage when facing the "Tiger". Now,
I heard that the Eighth Route Army had a piece of individual equipment that could destroy the "Tiger" from a long distance. The entire military community was shocked by this news.
The Supreme Deputy Commander made a phone call to the General Counsel and asked: "Have you heard? The Eighth Route Army destroyed the 'Tiger' with a piece of individual equipment!"
"Yes, Comrade Supreme Deputy Commander-in-Chief!" the General Counsel replied, "I just heard about it not long ago!"
"Do you believe this is true?" the Supreme Deputy Commander asked again: "We are unable to produce such a thing, but the Eighth Route Army has already used it in actual combat and achieved victory!"
"Of course I believe it!" the general counsel replied affirmatively: "Just like they are equipped with rocket launchers, they also have amazing air-to-air missiles and an air defense system against Hans missiles... If they can develop even these, a single
Anti-tank equipment means nothing!"
After a pause, the general advisor added: "This is very important to us, Comrade Deputy Commander-in-Chief. I was just thinking about whether to remind you that if we can get this equipment and mass-produce it, we will compete with Hans' tanks."
Gain an overwhelming advantage in the competition!”
The Supreme Deputy Commander nodded in agreement.
He also thought so. Now the battle between Mao Xiong and Hans has gradually evolved into a competition between tanks between the two countries. If Hans does not have this individual anti-tank equipment but Mao Xiong does, and Mao Xiong’s army is known for its strength,
Is it possible for Hans to win this war?
"You are right, Comrade General Counsel!" said the Supreme Deputy Commander: "We should get this equipment as soon as possible. I will send someone right away!"
So Lemonlov once again set foot on the road from Chongqing to Taiyuan.
Eagle Sauce got the news while Lemon Lokov was still on the road.
The message was sent by Skinner through Sun Erwei.
The reason why it was published now was because Wang Xuexin was worried that spreading the news too early would have a negative impact on the campaign, so he asked Skinner to wait until the battle was over before making a report.
The admiral was stunned when he heard the report. Is there such a thing?
He looked at Doolittle in confusion and asked, "This is a project we cooperate with the Eighth Route Army. Why don't we have the equipment?"
Doolittle replied with a hint of embarrassment: "That's because they (military experts) think this equipment is not efficient. We have better equipment to destroy enemy tanks, such as aircraft, anti-tank guns, and tanks. Just
There is no need to equip this kind of rocket missile with unstable performance!"
The admiral slammed the table angrily and cursed: "These guys should really be sent to the battlefield to see what's going on!"
This is indeed the case for Yingjiang at this time. Since Yingjiang came into contact with the war less and later, many military experts and R&D personnel are out of touch with the actual battlefield.
However, one advantage of Yingjiang during this period was that they had strong error correction capabilities. They would immediately improve and upgrade their equipment after suffering losses on the battlefield.
The admiral lost his temper and then calmed down: "Immediately build a production line for this kind of anti-tank equipment in the country. I need to see it as popular as a rocket launcher in our army!"
After a pause, he stopped Doolittle who was about to give an order: "Bring Skinny's R&D team back!"
"General..." Doolittle was stunned: "If we transfer them back, there will probably be problems with the development of the Eighth Route Army in this area!"
The admiral just said "hmm" and said nothing, so Doolittle understood what the admiral meant.
The news soon reached Wang Xuexin.
The telegram was handed over by Zhang Zongping, who said: "Captain, Yingjiang is going to transfer Skinner's R&D team back, and they have already reported to the headquarters!"
Wang Xuexin said "hmm" and said nothing.
He actually knows what Yingjiang means.
If the Eighth Route Army is very weak and has to rely on Yingjiang for everything, then Yingjiang will feel relieved and will "selflessly" provide assistance to the Eighth Route Army.
But if the Eighth Route Army has become so powerful that it even surpasses Yingjiang in some aspects, Yingjiang will take it into account.
This is actually normal. Not to mention that this happens between countries that only care about interests. This happens even among friends, relatives and even brothers in life.
Moreover, Wang Xuexin believes that the transfer of Yingjiang back to Skinny today is only the first step. In the future, it will become more and more difficult for the Eighth Route Army to deal with Yingjiang.
But Wang Xuexin is not worried about this.
What Yingjiang didn't understand was that the Eighth Route Army was the one with the technological advantage.
For example, for anti-tank missiles, Yingjiang thought that if the Skinny team was withdrawn from the Eighth Route Army, progress would stagnate due to the lack of a research and development team, so Yingjiang could achieve a lead.
What Yingjiang didn't expect was that the next generation of anti-tank missiles needed computers, and computers with semiconductor components. The Eighth Route Army was already in the lead and was more than one step ahead of Yingjiang.
Skinny and Eagle Sauce's R&D team want to surpass the Eighth Route Army?
Their computer technology is still at the relay level. Without the development of computers, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking to develop missiles!
Therefore, when Yingjiang withdrew Skinny’s R&D team, they were the ones who lost the final thing!
Yingjiang will regret it later.
In addition, Yingjiang has two potential rivals: Mao Xiong and The Sun Never Sets.
Huaxia does have shortcomings, but these shortcomings are more than made up for by introducing them from Mao Xiong and Sun Bu Luo and integrating them.
Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate Sun Never Set to compete with Yingjiang as the "world's number one". After all, Sun Never Set is an old industrial country. Even if there are not many military equipment that need it, there are many and very important civilian equipment.
Complete... Maoxiong is mainly in heavy industry and has shortcomings in light industry.
Seeing Wang Xuexin's silence, Zhang Zongping asked: "Captain, do you want to find an excuse to keep them here?"
"No!" Wang Xuexin shook his head: "Let them go, they have nothing left that we need!"
