Time flew by, and another 10 days passed in the blink of an eye, arriving on March 25, 1939.
Throughout March, not to mention other small-scale fighting in China, there were several major wars.
First, the Japanese First Army in North China carried out a large-scale raid on the Eighth Route Army's base in northwestern Shanxi. It has been almost a month since then. At present, the little Japs over there are exhausted, but the Eighth Route Army, because it has received a large amount of equipment and ammunition supplies, has begun to suppress the Japs.
I have never seen the artillery of the Eighth Route Army before. This time the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi actually brought out an artillery battalion (lent to them by the 129th Division)!
This is not a mortar!
This sudden appearance of the artillery battalion made the Japanese who rushed into the Luliang Mountains cry out that they could not afford to be hurt. After entering the mountains, they found it troublesome and left all the artillery behind. Then they were borrowed by Brigadier Wang Zhen. More than a dozen artillery pieces were roaring.
Then the Eighth Route Army's 129th Division Liu Yu's unit (known to the outside world) used two regiments to sneak attack Niangziguan and Tumenguan, and penetrated Jingxing County, completely cutting off the Zhengtai Railway.
This suddenly hit the key point of the Japanese army in Shanxi, causing the entire Japanese First North China Army to shrink back a bit. Because the Zhengtai Road was cut off, their logistics could only be provided by the Kwantung Army and transported through the Tongpu Railway. Not only has the transportation line been more than doubled, it is also more dangerous. The Eighth Route Army in the Jirecha base area there is not a vegetarian.
Then Liu Yu tricked the Japanese and seized the flag of the 117th Regiment. Then the Japanese 108th Division launched a large-scale attack on Tumen Pass, but Liu Yu's troops fought back tenaciously and destroyed an artillery regiment.
This battle made Liu Yu's department famous, and coupled with his magical "Message to Compatriots All Over the Country", many aspiring young people put down their textbooks and rushed to Jingxing. Young people from places nearby, such as Peking and Tianjin, have arrived in the past few days.
The Nationalist Army was also very lively here. The principal was clamoring to push back the Japanese army on the Nanchang front. As a result, the Japanese army, who was furious at the time, took the lead. Although the attack of the Japanese Eleventh Army was also hasty, Okamura Neji's The command level is obviously higher than that of Luo Zhuoying. In the 12 days since the battle was launched on March 14, although the two sides have been in a stalemate, the Japanese army has clearly gained the upper hand.
. . . . . .
Leaving aside other places, Liu Yu is already as busy as a dog.
At this moment, he had just returned from the construction site at Tumenguan and arrived at the recruit training base in his hometown.
The recruitment of new recruits was very efficient. When it was announced that the Eighth Route Army would recruit on a large scale, all the refugees who had previously fled to Xiyang came, and some were even teenagers.
Of course, children and the elderly will not be accepted. As for those young people aged 18 to 35, they are all accepted. Together with the young students who come one after another with admiration, more than 24,000 people have been recruited at this time.
The reason why we did not recruit soldiers from refugees before was because the refugees were very weak at that time. According to the recruit training standards set by Liu Yu, they would die.
There is no need to worry now. Those refugees have been well fed and fed for almost two months and have recovered. They stay in the refugee camp all day long and have nothing to do.
As for the recruit training base in my hometown, there are really too few flat areas in Zhangzhuang Town, and it can only accommodate more than 3,000 people for training. And Yu's hometown is one of the few "big" basins in the surrounding area, and the Japanese have been stationed before, so all the necessary facilities are available, so Liu Yu simply moved the recruit training base here.
Ten days have passed, and these new recruits have already trained to some extent. At least they are marching in order.
These more than 20,000 recruits do not mean that they will all be put into front-line combat units after training. It means that Liu Yu will definitely not be able to part with those student soldiers who have at least a high school diploma.
The initial training is to allow them to adapt to military life, and then they will be assigned to various technical branches based on their personal interests and talents.
When this division is organized and trained, Liu Yu will definitely have a try with the little devils. After he has accumulated enough points, he will set up a training base for the air force and armored forces. At that time, it will be time for these young students to shine.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, when will we get the J-20 or 99A?"
"Ding, the system gift package is about to expire, host please open it in time!"
Liu Yu jumped with a cold sound from the system. After his consciousness sank into the system space, he cursed: "Dog system, is this a gift package or bread? Can it still expire? What kind of gift package? How can there be..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the System Warehouse column with two options of "Large Gift Pack
Only then did Liu Yu remember that the last time he annihilated the 117th Regiment, there seemed to be a gift package, but at that time his eyes were all on the points and he didn't pay attention.
"Remember, the small gift packs I opened earlier contained canned food, white flour, and medicines. What are the medium and large gift packs?"
Liu Yu curiously opened the medium-sized gift package, and then saw a large list of items in the system warehouse column.
"Ding! The host opened the medium-sized gift bag. Congratulations to the host for receiving 1,000 tons of white flour, 1,000 boxes of canned beef, 2,000 boxes of penicillin, and a technology card that is 5 years ahead of the current world."
"That's it?" Liu Yu looked disdainful.
After his exploration, he found out that when the system reaches level 5, he can redeem things that will appear in the next five years. It is too stingy to only give this to a medium-sized gift pack!
As for those white noodles and the like, they add up to less than 3,000 points.
Shaking his head, he opened the big gift package again.
"Ding, the host has opened the large gift bag. Congratulations to the host for getting 10,000 tons of white flour, 10,000 boxes of canned beef, and 10,000 boxes of penicillin! A technology card that is 25 years ahead of the current world!"
"Ouch!"
This surprised Liu Yu. Those materials were okay, but the key was this technology card that was 25 years ahead!
"Wow, this is really like scratching a lottery ticket. I don't know what I can draw!"
First small and then big, Liu Yu clicked on the technical card that he had been using for 5 years.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the mining exploration and mining technology of the United States in 1944!"
Then a large number of books and materials appeared in the system warehouse, all of which were related to mining technology.
"What do I need this thing for?!" Liu Yu's face was full of black lines. Wouldn't he go to work as a miner instead of fighting the Japanese?
Why? It looks good, but many giant oil fields in the world have not yet been discovered! If he could find it, he would really become the richest man in the world in no time!
Shaking his head and throwing away this idea, Liu Yu clicked on the 25-year-old one again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the 1964 American shipbuilding technology!"
There was another pile of books and materials, more than the one about mining just now.
Liu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Nah, America is poisonous. I'm in the Taihang Mountains now. Why am I building ships? What's the use of this thing for me?"
Shaking his head, he clicked on the last technology card again, and then kept praying in his heart, don’t be the United States, don’t be the United States!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the United States..."
Hearing these two words, Liu Yu rolled his eyes, but the next system sound made him overjoyed.
"Metallurgy in the 1969 period!"
"Metallurgy is good. With this technology, I can make steel and aluminum alloys, so that I can make guns, cannons, tanks, and airplanes..."
As he spoke, Liu Yu's face fell again, and he cursed at the system: "I want diesel engine technology with more than 1,000 horsepower, and I want turbofan engine technology!"
Finally, Liu Yu cursed and exited the system and returned to reality.
Is there any use in just giving him metallurgical skills? Make steel and then sell the steel?
Funny?
America is indeed poisonous!
After being hit by the system, Liu Yu had no intention of watching the recruit training and returned to the headquarters in low spirits.
Then he went to a prisoner of war camp.
The prisoner of war camp here is only for temporary use. The previous prisoners of the 117th Regiment were all sent to the 129th Division Headquarters. Out of sight, out of mind.
There are only 6 prisoners here now, which are the crew of the bomber that was shot down by the anti-aircraft battalion last time.
It is said that if their commander at the time was not too stupid and asked them to lower themselves to a height of 500 meters to drop bombs, the puppet troops would be too exhausted to defeat them!
There were originally seven crew members. One bombardier was hit by a 20mm anti-aircraft shell when the bomb bay was opened, and he was torn into pieces on the spot. The remaining people, including the two pilots and co-pilots, all parachuted out and were found and captured alive by Geng Wanzi who led people over.
Calling an interpreter, Liu Yu walked into the prisoner's dormitory.
Zhou Libing's guy was later cleaned up by Xu Liqing and returned to the 129th Division. Originally, this kind of person could be killed with one shot, but thinking about how much face he had to give Liu Shuai, let him deal with the people he sent.
The current translator came from Chongqing a few days ago. His name is Li Qi. He is 23 years old. He was originally from the Japanese Concession in Shanghai. He has excellent language talent and has taught himself several foreign languages.
After the Battle of Songhu, he fled to Nanjing, and then saw with his own eyes what the Japanese were doing in Nanjing. He escaped by pretending to be a Japanese expatriate by speaking fluent Kyoto Japanese.
Then, he fled from Wuhan to Chongqing.
He hated the Japs so much that when he saw the captured Japs pilots, Liu Yu was frightened by the murderous intent in his eyes.
Seeing Liu Yu, several Japanese pilots stood up quickly and bowed to Liu Yu politely, bending down.
This is also a phenomenon in the Japanese army. Those idiots in the Japanese army are civilians who have not gone to school for a few days. They believe whatever the hell card says and do whatever their superiors tell them to do. They are very fanatical. .
But the aviation and navy are different. Japan’s aviation academies and naval academies are not accessible to ordinary people.
Especially the Etajima Naval Academy, which is known as the most difficult school in Japan. Not only do you have to have good grades, but you also have to have a good background.
Therefore, the Japanese aviation and naval soldiers are all very clear-headed and very aware of current affairs.
Looking at the quite obedient Japanese pilot, Liu Yu smiled and said, "How have you been these days?"
Li Qi translated the words into Japanese.
"Hi, we are very satisfied. Thank you Commander Liu for the preferential treatment!"
"Well!" Liu Yu nodded and said, "As long as you are satisfied, but my food is not free, you have to help me do things. I plan to set up an air force training base, and I want you to be instructors. As long as you help If I train 100 pilots, I will set you free!"
"Hi! We do!"
Hearing this answer, Liu Yu was very satisfied. In fact, Liu Yu valued these six people.
The person who took the lead in speaking just now was Kato Shinichi, a Japanese Army Aviation Captain, the captain and pilot of the bomber that was shot down. He is 26 years old this year.
There is also Hiro Sakata, second lieutenant, co-pilot. This guy originally flew a fighter jet, but because he spread anti-war remarks in the army and refused to fly a fighter plane to shoot at civilians, he was thrown into a bomber as a co-pilot. This guy is even younger, only 23 years old. Among these people, he was the one who surrendered most happily.
Another one is the leader of the bombing team, Jiro Kawaguchi, 27 years old.
There are several other gunnery crews and a member of the bombing crew. They are also very valuable. In addition to their work on the crew, they are also mechanics and can repair aircraft!
After thinking for a while, Liu Yu said: "You organize people to build an airport first. When the airport is completed, I will find a way to get you a few planes and you can practice first."
Then he looked at Li Qi: "From now on, you will be responsible for supervising them, and then help them contact the political commissar. Except for some excessive demands, try to satisfy them with whatever they need. Don't be emotional. Can we have our own air force?" , it’s up to them, you have to take this matter seriously!”
Li Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the order.
