I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 672: 3 Soldiers

The commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army said: "Xiao Song, why don't you tell me about the situation in China first?"

Song Wenwan: "In China? Well... As long as the expeditionary army gathers in Yunnan and pretends to be heading south.

The Japanese will definitely also draw elite troops from the Kwantung Army and march south.

However, they still have some soldiers on the Japanese island who can join the war.

But we must be aware that the quality of soldiers in these new divisions has declined.

They are no longer comparable to the elite veterans of three or seven years ago.

Because of the gap in weapons between China and Japan, the veterans of the National Army were no match for them.

However, this group of soldiers has shown a significant decline in age, education level, and combat experience.

As for us in northern Shaanxi and southern Gansu, we are growing in the quality of our soldiers and the use of tactics.

With the updating of weapons and equipment, we can also obtain a steady supply of troops.

All of this has kept our red military power on the rise.

We have built several roads from Gansu via Shaanxi to Shanxi and Henan.

The 1st Armored Division has been trained at the Longshui Armored Forces Base in Gannan.

The equipment for our second armored division has also arrived, and the personnel of the 2nd Armored Division are receiving training at the base.

Once the time comes, we can advance into Central Plains and North China from both Henan and Shanxi directions at the same time.

By doing so, the Japanese invaders who were invading China could be divided into two and their mainland transportation lines could be cut off in one fell swoop.

The Japanese had no choice but to ship the looted materials back to the Japanese mainland by sea.

At that time, whether they can send the supplies back to the Japanese island under the interception of the US military will depend on their own ability. "

After hearing Song Wenwan's strategy, several leaders took a deep breath.

I have great admiration for this "overly thoughtful" young man.

This is to cut off the Japanese's source of trouble.

Let them have the ability to grab resources, but they can only watch.

This kind of "unblessed enjoyment" gives people a murderous and heartbreaking feeling no matter how they look at it.

A leader smiled and asked him: "Isn't it time for Commander Song to talk about the development of Gannan?"

Song Wenwan smiled and said, "I really don't want to say it, but the annual military inventory is always a shock to me.

Let’s put it this way, when we first calculated, Gannan had 1.1 million troops.

But when I went down to take a look myself, I didn't expect that we still had too few.

For example, in Suiyuan, we counted a cavalry division plus a guerrilla division.

I originally thought they should have 40,000 to 50,000 people, but the actual number was almost 80,000.

Now many more herdsmen come here to visit, and the number is almost 100,000.

There is also Lu Changsheng's guerrilla division in Hebei, which is the same.

I knew there were more than 30,000 of them before I went there, but I didn't expect that they would tell the truth until we got there.

They had actually grown to four columns plus a guard brigade.

There were a total of 130,000 troops, and the number of soldiers had expanded nearly four times.

So I really don’t want to calculate how many people there are in this army.

If the various Gannan troops developing outside are estimated according to this standard, there should be more than two million people.

We also have the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, plus the new soldiers recruited from the disaster victims, three million red fighters...

Forget it, forget it. It’s too irritating. I think my teeth are going to get swollen.

Next year I will be even busier, I have to collect disaster victims, and travel all over the country to re-equip the troops below, ah..."

After everyone heard it, there was no reaction.

Just think about it, just six years ago, they were chased by those reactionaries for 25,000 miles.

The total number of troops was less than 100,000, and weapons and ammunition were in extremely short supply.

Now, there are already three million soldiers? The army has expanded nearly thirty times? This is more than that!

Don’t forget Song Wenwan’s prediction for next year. In Henan alone, it is estimated that there will be 10 million disaster victims.

Just think about it, if they had an army of four million with the same combat effectiveness as a guerrilla division.

The Jinsui Army in Shanxi also obeyed orders, and half of the Sichuan Army in the country obeyed orders.

Yunnan will probably declare an uprising, and the Gui army knows it without having to guess.

They will definitely stab the Central Army in the back.

In this way, not to mention the Japanese devils, they can even deal with the troops from the accompanying capital together.

There are now a large number of soldiers coming down from the front lines in the Hengshan Base and Longshui Base, waiting to be re-equipped in batches.

Song Wenwan took out all the equipment and threw them to Political Commissar Mo and Zhou Weiguo, who were responsible for re-equipping the troops.

Like the 303rd Division guarding the Yanchang Oilfield and the numbered brigade defending northern Shaanxi.

There is also the Second Rapid Reaction Brigade from Northwest Shanxi, which was the first batch to replace its equipment.

The brigade number represents the Eighth Route Army, and the new equipment they received are mainly M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles.

The light and heavy machine guns are also Soviet-made Dapanji, as well as the Browning air-cooled 1919 heavy machine gun.

These weapons are not only light to use, but also have extremely strong firepower and can hold a large amount of ammunition in the magazine.

Compared with the Czech and Type 99 light machine guns, it is more popular among soldiers.

The 303rd Division's new uniforms are very representative of Gannan.

There are Type 41 semi-automatic rifles and Type 41 fully automatic assault rifles.

The heavy weapons are the Type 2 squad machine gun and the Type 67-2 heavy machine gun (also known as the Type - heavy machine gun).

Wu Changfeng's Second Rapid Response Brigade managed to catch up this time.

The entire brigade of nearly 30,000 soldiers, including vehicles and personnel, were reorganized into the 2nd Armored Division and taken to the Armored Forces Base for equipment replacement.

Later, Li Yunlong found out about this and got very angry. He almost went to find the deputy commander-in-chief.

Li Yunlong finally calmed down after being knocked unconscious by Wei Dayong's palm.

When he woke up, he immediately called the guard Duan Peng over.

When asked why he didn't stop Monk Wei, Duan Peng felt aggrieved.

"Commander, I wanted to fight him for three hundred rounds and beat him up to avenge you.

But I couldn't even withstand Wei Dayong's thirty moves and fell down.

He would use his big stone-smashing hand one moment and his powerful diamond kick the next, making it hard to defend against him."

Later, seeing that Li Yunlong was making too much trouble, the brigade commander came over to scold him.

He said, "Wu Changfeng needs to train for a year before he can go out to fight," and that was how he fooled Li Yunlong.

But a year later, Wu Changfeng's Second Armored Division came out of the mountains, and Li Yunlong was stunned again.

It is said that when he saw the brigade commander later, his eyes were full of resentment, as if the brigade commander had deceived him.

Brigade Headquarters Commander: If I had known in advance, they would have replaced their equipment with this kind when they returned to the Gannan base.

I myself will be the commander of this armored division, so why would this kid Wu Changfeng take over and show off?

Li Yunlong looked at the head of his brigade, who also had a longing look on his face, and he was no longer angry.

He immediately transformed himself into a military advisor, saying that he had to find Wu Changfeng and get two tanks back to honor the leader.

By then, we will each have one, and the people in other trips will be very jealous.

The brigade chief also laughed after hearing this. For the first time, he felt that Li Yunlong could be so considerate.

Wu Changfeng said: They are just two tanks, just sprinkle some water!
