The Great Victory in Hedong is still going on, and the Eighth Route Army's reputation in China is at its peak. More and more people are traveling all the way to Hedong, asking to join the Eighth Route Army;
The Eighth Route Army's offices in various places were also overcrowded. In the battle to regain Hedong, the Eighth Route Army not only annihilated two second-class divisions, the 41st Division and the 36th Division, but also annihilated 200 troops in Yuci, Luzhou, Pingyang and other places. Three independent brigades, two separate garrison regiments, and four independent brigades severely damaged the 114th Division and two Taiyuan garrison brigades, with a total of more than 60,000 people. Only less than 20,000 people fled to Chahar.
More than 30,000 puppet troops were captured, 3 airports were taken over, more than 40 aircraft of various types, more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles, more than 500 artillery pieces of various types, more than 100,000 long and short guns, and too much ammunition to be counted were seized.
After receiving a complete military factory with tens of thousands of tons of various materials, the Eighth Route Army has mastered the resources of a province and has the strength to compete with Sichuan.
With sufficient equipment and supplies, the Eighth Route Army will not refuse enthusiastic young people who come to join the Eighth Route Army;
In order to train them, the headquarters established a large-scale recruit training base in Hedong, and selected veterans and military and political cadres from various divisions to serve as instructors.
After the Eighth Route Army applied, the Anti-Japanese University established a branch in Hedong, with the first enrollment exceeding 5,000 people. This was to reserve enough military and political cadres for the Eighth Route Army to prepare for the subsequent nationwide counterattack.
Hedong has been the backbone of the world since ancient times. It has a unique geographical location and rich strategic resources. It is the foundation for the struggle for the world.
Yanzhou plans to use one to two years to build Hedong into the rear base of the Eighth Route Army, providing sufficient logistical support for the hundreds of thousands of main Eighth Route Army troops fighting on the front lines, and the Eighth Route Army will gradually become regularized.
According to the agreement signed between Yanzhou and Yingjiang (one of the conditions for the Chuxiong Independence Army to send troops to the Jade Kingdom), Yingjiang will use air transportation to help the Eighth Route Army establish the most basic industrial system in Hedong within half a year, and purchase industrial equipment and mother machines. All the funds will be borne by the income from 70% of the shares held by Yanzhou, Taihang Investment Company.
Yanzhou spent its own money to buy Yingjiang's surplus industrial machinery, and Yingjiang was naturally happy to accept it. These orders made Yingjiang's domestic capitalists make a fortune, and also increased Franklin's support for re-election to a third term by several points. , this is undoubtedly a win-win result, and the most unhappy ones are naturally Shuzhong Zhongcai and Mosco Joseph, and of course the Foot Pot Chicken.
In Shu, Zhong Cao was in a very unhappy mood, and Niang Xipi spoke casually without paying any attention to the occasion.
"My dear, these Yingjiangs have not been taught by saints. If you have breasts, you are your mother!"
It was purely a cover-up. Shoushan said that Yanzhou was so poor that he only had to eat melon every day. How could he get so much money to buy supplies from Yingjiang?
It's obviously a gift, but you have to say it's for sale, are you deceiving me as no one in Shu? "
"Mother, I think Franklin has been turned red!
Don’t they know that this is raising a tiger’s risk?
These hawks are going to shoot themselves in the foot sooner or later. Why can't they understand that in China, only I and the government are their most trustworthy allies!
Niang Xipi’s…”
Five hundred words are omitted. Ever since Yingjiang considered Yanzhou as an option, he began to be taken over by Xianglin's wife. If he didn't curse Yingjiang and Yanzhou a few times every day, it would be difficult to vent his anger. Others could only listen.
"Are you all mute? How to crack it!
Normally everyone is quite capable, but how come they are all helpless when dealing with Yanzhou? "
After he finished scolding people, he clicked on General Chen's generals. Scolding people was not the purpose, but just a means to spur them to come up with good solutions.
Admiral Chen is still very responsible. It is one of his lifelong wishes to take care of Zhongcai's worries. He is a staunch follower of Zhongcai. When he saw Zhongcai asking about him, he quickly stood up and said:
“The reason why Yingjiang chose Yanzhou as an alternative partner is simply because the Eighth Route Army has shown a certain strength.
It can be seen from the Eighth Route Army's counterattack in Hedong that the Foot Pot Chicken has gone downhill. All the troops they can fight have been transferred to the southern and northern fronts. Those who remain in China are the old, weak, sick and disabled. Collapse, the will to fight is no longer the same!
There are more than 2 million soldiers in our army. Since the winter offensive two years ago, they have been recuperating and their combat effectiveness has been fully restored. At the right time, they can launch an autumn offensive. Let the Eagles have a look at the capabilities of our army. strength. "
A happy smile finally appeared on Zhong Cao's face, and he said to himself:
"You have to look at rhetoric at critical moments!"
Thinking of this, Zhongcai nodded and said:
"What Ci Xiu said is absolutely true. In this world, strength still matters. The government has been keeping a low profile for a while, and the Chinese people really thought that the little devil was taken down by the Eighth Route Army. This is disrespectful to the three million soldiers of the government!
I have decided to mobilize troops and supplies from now on to launch a large-scale offensive across the country. I plan to use millions of troops. No! An army of 1.5 million people launched a full-scale counterattack against the Japs, with the initial goal being to drive the Japs out of Hunan Province..."
Mosco, Red Palace, and Joseph were also burning with anger. Yanzhou, which he had always regarded as a branch, not only began to reject his own will, but also moved closer to the imperialist leader Ying Jiang, which he could not bear.
The thing that made him most angry was that Yanzhou no longer took his anger seriously, and he even asked Yanzhou for help.
“Comrade Molotov, our Eastern comrades have just won a victory and liberated Hedong Province, and now they are fully capable of launching an attack on Manchuria and Mongolia;
Especially in Manchuria, the main force of the Kwantung Army in Tiaobenji has been contained in the Far East by us. Manchuria is empty of troops. It is the best time to counterattack Manchuria!
You go to Yanzhou again on my behalf and must convince them to launch a Manchurian offensive and regain Manchuria. We will send powerful troops to cooperate in the Far East and drive the damn chickens into the sea..."
He was in narcissistic mode again. It seemed that the whole world had to revolve around him and obey his orders. Molotov naturally wanted to obey, but that was not necessarily the case for Davari.
After Joseph finished his speech, he found that Molotov was not excited to work, and he immediately said displeasedly:
"Comrade Molotov, is there anything else you don't understand?"
Molotov said bravely:
"How do you respond to the conditions China made last time?"
Only then did Joseph react, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes burst out with a wolf-like light...
