In fact, after some tactics are implemented, the consequences are immeasurable, some are good and some are bad. For example, the Japanese headquarters in North China began to re-evaluate the battle situation in Shanxi. Especially for some major units,
For example, Shanxi's Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army. Because only these two factions pose the greatest threat to the Japanese army, as for the remaining Central Army, the threat level has been lowered.
"General Oda, if we attack an Eighth Route Army division-level unit, we have to fight for three brigades. Isn't the price too high? Although we have sufficient troops now, once a large-scale battle begins, we will inevitably suffer because of our inability to
Assemble enough troops to get into a situation of being beaten."
"But the strength of the Eighth Route Army is growing too fast, and their ability to sustain operations is constantly improving. There are clues that show that our troops and a random Eighth Route Army unit captured, the two sides can engage in high-intensity combat for two hours. Even
In some battles, we were forced to retreat because we ran out of ammunition."
At the staff headquarters of the North China Command, more than a dozen Japs are combining various information to provide help to the Operations Department. These are veterans who have studied in the Japanese military academy for many years. Combined with their experience in fighting in China, they have all become a
He is a very excellent staff officer, and it is even said that anyone transferred from here can go down and command a brigade in combat. Their intelligence and judgment have a certain degree of reliability.
"It can be seen that our operations in North China have fallen into an unsolvable situation. As the level of the troops fighting us increases, our casualties have begun to increase."
"Now I have doubts about who are the regular troops? The troops below are attacked by the Eighth Route Army every day. It is not a big deal to kill a few people. But if you put the recent losses together, you will find that they will be wiped out without knowing it.
We are a company of soldiers. This is not counting formal conflicts. If we include formal conflicts, our losses are much greater than those against the Kuomintang, and we suffer losses every day."
In fact, Han Cheng didn't know much about this thing, and he didn't know anything about it. He knew that he had produced a lot of ammunition, but he didn't know the flow of these ammunition. The only thing he knew was that these bullets were used to fight the Japanese.
After these bullets came off the production line, they were transported by various tools and finally sent to the hands of soldiers. These bullets were stuffed into the barrels of guns and shot into the heads of the Japanese. These ammunition were first equipped on the front line.
Troops, these troops must first have strong combat effectiveness and complete equipment. Some frontal conflicts still require these troops with very strong combat effectiveness.
"I have to admit that they are harder to fight than the Kuomintang!"
The Japanese Army Staff came to the conclusion that they encountered many well-known teams in North China, but with various offensives, these teams were all wiped out, so there were no troops able to fight against them. Although they fought a few games
It was a large battle, but the result was very gratifying. It consumed a large number of the Kuomintang's elite troops and provided conditions for further aggression.
"They are like a swarm of ants, nibbling at us when we are not paying attention! Once their size expands, they will not nibble at us, but will directly tear us apart!"
In fact, it has not reached this level now. It can only be said that in Shanxi, the cannibalization has already begun. As the weapons, equipment and technical and tactical levels of other troops increase in the later period, larger-scale cannibalization is still to come.
In fact, the Japanese are right to think so. It has been determined that the Japanese are an enemy that cannot be defeated for the time being, so it is necessary to sort out the long-term goals. The Eighth Route Army's attitude towards the Japanese no longer seeks to defeat them with one blow.
That kind of effect, the slow cannibalization can not only increase the combat experience of your own troops, but also slowly weaken the enemy's strength.
Anyway, now the mortars in Hancheng have become the warm stuff in the hands of various troops. Who doesn’t want this thing? Everyone wants to take a bite. But this is not that easy. Although it is said now
Another mortar department was opened, but output was a serious problem.
The demand for iron ore is increasing, but the iron ore in Shanxi is not so abundant, at least in the control areas of the base, and the mining conditions are very difficult. Now the demand in all aspects is increasing.
However, since the output in all aspects cannot meet the current demand, expanding production capacity is naturally the only option.
"Now we can consume a thousand kilograms of iron every day. We need to pay attention here. We need to communicate with various troops and ask them to help collect the iron."
Han Cheng told the heads of various departments at the work meeting that the military strength and weapons and equipment in the base area have now risen to a new level, and the airborne leaders who were originally in charge were directly transferred because they could not perform well.
to complete the task of increasing production.
"There is also the gunpowder workshop. If you maintain the output, you can train a group of new people and expand the production scale directly."
The gunpowder workshop is the top priority. It is much better now. At least there are no accidents every three days. The longest period was ninety days without accidents. No accidents are a good thing. There is no way. This is the limitation of manpower.
"Regarding the new mortar department, what is your monthly output?"
"Now we can produce ten mortars a month."
"Well, I understand. When the time comes, special personnel will come to take away these cannons. Remember, no one can give these things to anyone who wants them."
In fact, the brigade commander needs to be taken away uniformly. The first thing is that the brigade commander wants to organize a professional mortar team for unified use. This is also a no-brainer. If there are mountain artillery howitzers, there is no need to organize mortars.
If used in a concentrated manner, although it is very powerful, it also has a shortcoming, that is, the range is too close, and it can easily be used as a target to focus fire on.
But Han Cheng doesn't know much about war matters. Since the brigade commander plans to do this, the rest of the things are naturally not his own. What Han Cheng has to do now is to produce as much ammunition as possible and expand even more.
The scale of production is such that all ammunition in Shanxi is produced here.
"The rifle department has just been established. I believe you have all received the drawings of the firearms. Digest them all. You can change the structure. But the design requirements of the rifle cannot be changed. The testing process is indispensable.
.”
Drastic mergers have created many new departments. This is the road to development towards a military factory. Some things must be scaled up. As long as there is scale, sooner or later, industrialization, or even full automation, can be completed for various reasons.
Han Cheng is now flapping his wings slightly. In some places, things have already deviated from the normal direction that things should be. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
