Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 367: The Japanese are using inferior means, the mountain artillery regiments are collectively refitted! The use of new system modules, American aid!

[The Dragon City is liberated~! A song of "Man Jiang Hong" is played on the Eastern battlefield! 】

[Is the game over? The situation on the battlefield in the Far East has suddenly changed! ]

[The righteous army defeated the enemy, and Dragon City regained its vitality! ]

Various news headlines.

Reports on the recovery of Longcheng appeared in less than two weeks.

Spread all over the world.

Military commentators and officers from almost all countries in the world.

Almost everyone is paying attention to the war taking place in the Far East.

They also knew clearly that there was such a force on this battlefield.

It fought a series of classic battles that shocked China and the world, including the Battle of Shanghai, the Linyi Counterattack, the Xuzhou Breakout, the Battle of East Henan, etc.

Among them, the Linyi counterattack has become a key battle example for research projects in military academies of various countries.

And now.

It is this magical country that constantly creates war miracles and has now regained the vital military, political and economic center of Longcheng in North China!
All of a sudden, more giants began to turn their attention to the battlefield.

The balance of war in the Far East has tilted, affecting every aspect of the world.

For a while.

This place has once again become a gaming arena for various camps, and it is extremely lively.

Shanxi.

Second World War Commander Headquarters.

Yan Laoxi had a worried look on his face at this moment.

This group of Japanese not only destroyed all the economic and livelihood data during their occupation of Longcheng.

The remaining heavy equipment was also basically destroyed to varying degrees.

The firing range of the Type 94 mountain gun was burned.

The Guantong Road was basically destroyed.

Some of the guns looked rusty and looked like they had been neglected for a long time.

It was more like there was some degree of damage before the evacuation.

If it is not processed.

Artillery units are likely to face the risk of barrel explosion during the shooting process.

Yan Laoxi originally wanted to greatly enhance the strength of his artillery units with these more than 30 artillery pieces.

But in the end, nothing was gained.

In a short period of time, these artillery pieces were used except for the Type 92 infantry gun.

It's just pure scrap metal!

Xie Ming on the side tentatively offered his own suggestion: "Commander Yan, you have already reserved a lot of talents in artillery and military industry, so I think this problem can be solved, right?"

"We have sent a call to inquire about the situation. We estimate that the people will arrive in two weeks, and we expect that the system will be operational again in three months."

"Our mountain artillery shell production is insufficient. If we want to use the Japanese Type 94 artillery, we need a large number of shells for test firing and write firing tables, which is very difficult."

"As for the Guantong Vehicle, no one in our team knows how to use it now. Our artillery casualties in this war were too great."

Yan Laoxi's family assets were basically wiped out in the first year of the war.

In the first half of the second year, the company was already in a state of deficit.

Let alone now.

Even if these more than 30 artillery pieces of various types were not destroyed by the Japanese.

They also didn't have enough artillery talent to use.

As for the talents trained by the Jindongnan Artillery School.

Now it is just barely enough to fill the establishment of Chu Yunfei's troops.

There was no spare energy to support the Sixth Army.

Xie Ming hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Commander Yan, Changzhi also has a lot of military engineering talents and corresponding artillery talents. At worst, there are American experts. How about letting them try?"

Yan Laoxi touched his face, as if he was thinking and hesitating.

He actually didn't want to cause trouble for Chu Yunfei at this time.

But there is no other way right now.

After asking, you really have to wait for three or six months.

Then we can only adjust the next strategic plan.

Yan Laoxi sighed and said, "Send a telegram to Yunfei and ask him to ask the Americans for help. I think this little problem should be solvable."

the other side.

Changzhi Headquarters.

In the operations room, Chu Yunfei, Qian Bojun, Fang Ligong, Luo Weiguo, Huang Baitao and Zhang Dayun gathered together.

They are discussing how a new round of US aid should be used.

a month ago.

The system in Chu Yunfei's mind activated the third sub-module, which is the diplomatic module.

After turning it on.

Four consecutive weeks passed, and exactly four action points were accumulated.

One of them was used to improve relations with the American camp.

The remaining three points.

Chu Yunfei submitted a test aid report to the Americans.

The maximum amount of aid reports that can be submitted at the three action points is only US$5 million.

I don’t know if it’s the influence of the system, or if the Americans are eager to deepen the ties between the two sides after the liberation of Longcheng.

The next morning, Colonel Smith Douglas enthusiastically found Fang Ligong who was on duty.

A very straightforward statement.

He received relevant instructions from the United States.

In the near future.

They will provide the Republic of China with a credit loan assistance worth 20 million US dollars.

The gap between 20 million and the 5 million US dollars shown on the system is a bit too big.

After a detailed chat.

Fang Ligong also figured out the specific details of this batch of aid.

Among them, 15 million of equipment, medicines, and industrial raw materials were aided to the National Government represented by Chang Ruiyuan.

The remaining five million is for arms.

Of this amount, $2.5 million will be used as targeted aid.

In other words, the Americans intend to use half of this aid amount.

Designate assistance to be given to the troops commanded by Chu Yunfei.

When Fang Ligong reported the matter to him.

Only then did Chu Yunfei feel the benefits and incredible power of the new module.

It seems that all we need to do is make a relatively reasonable request for assistance at the right time.

Then, the party with closer camp relations will most likely not have its request for assistance rejected.

On this basis.

They can also obtain weapons and equipment that can be used directly by the troops under their command.

Don't be too cool.

Two and a half million dollars, at this point in early July of 39.

It is roughly equivalent to the purchasing power of about 15 million national currencies (the national currency began to depreciate at this time).

Regarding the use of the quota, everyone has different ideas.

Qian Bojun advocated replenishing the weapons and equipment of the front-line field troops first, and then considering the combat troops that are still in training.

The troops under his command are now basically on the front line confronting the main force of the Japanese army, and he proposed this idea for the sake of his subordinates.

Huang Baitao, on the other hand, advocated equipping as many troops as possible to create a sufficient advantage in terms of manpower and the number of weapons and equipment.

His troops are basically still under construction.

Speak according to your position after the two people have expressed their opinions.

Liang Guoping also took the initiative to speak: "Commander Chu, I remember that the Japanese 20th Division was equipped with the more advanced Type 94 mountain gun, which is slightly better than the Type 41 mountain gun we are currently using."

"Can you talk to Commander Yan about exchanging equipment between the two sides? After all, the Sixth Army will be responsible for garrison missions in the future and will not need to fight the Japanese army."

Chu Yunfei had a blank expression on his face, and pointed at the table in front of him: "Regarding the specific distribution of this batch of heavy equipment, I can only try my best, but I can't make any guarantees."

Fang Ligong put forward his own idea: "We have the support of the Americans and the assistance of the Soviets. The friendly forces have finally gained some benefits. If we take all of them, it will inevitably cause further rifts between the two sides."

Just when Liang Guoping wanted to say something else.

Zhao Pengcheng knocked on the door of the combat meeting room.

"Come in."

Zhao Pengcheng stepped closer to Chu Yunfei and said, "Commander Chu, the headquarters just sent a telegram."

"It is said that after inspection, the heavy equipment left by the Japanese has more or less some problems."

"Hmm?" Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows. "I guessed before that these little devils wouldn't be so honest. Are all these weapons and equipment damaged to varying degrees?"

"Yes, the gun barrel is severely rusted, 100% caused by human error, and the gun carriage is also damaged to varying degrees."

"Not only did the Type 94 mountain gun not have a firing table attached, but the observation vehicle was also damaged."

"The most critical thing is that we don't have the instructions for use, so the two intact ones can't be used."

Chu Yunfei frowned and thought for a moment: "The firing table is easy to solve. It's not like we haven't dealt with the Japanese before. Except for the Type 94 mountain gun that can't be used for the time being, we basically have everything else. Send someone to deliver it to Commander Yan. As for the observation vehicle..."

Chu Yunfei was clear about the shooting table.

Without a firing table, there is no way to fire the cannon.

But these little tricks of the Japanese devils.

In fact, it didn't mean much in front of the Jin army.

Because they had not only imitated the corresponding artillery before, but also captured basically all kinds of artillery.

There are also artillery talents who once studied in Japan in the team.

Although the number of people is not large, it is definitely enough.

For the Type 94 mountain gun, after waiting for the shell production capacity to be restored, you can also conduct test firing and compile the corresponding firing table.

Only this artillery observation post is open to traffic.

Chu Yunfei had almost no knowledge of this thing before, he only knew that it was used to carry observation and communication equipment.

He turned to look at Liang Guoping who was not far away: "Guoping, can you solve it?"

Liang Guoping nodded: "Yes, this thing has been used before, it's not difficult, but I don't know to what extent this batch of weapons and equipment has been damaged."

The voice just fell.

Fang Ligong suggested: "Why not take advantage of the fact that the American military experts are in Changzhi and exchange these Type 94 mountain guns for them?"

Fang Ligong's suggestion was immediately supported by Liang Guoping: "Although the Changzhi Arsenal cannot cast cannons now, it is still no problem to repair them. It is more convenient to send them to Changzhi than to send them back to the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau, right?"

Chu Yunfei nodded, turned his head to look at Zhao Pengcheng beside him and asked, "What are these heavy weapons?"

"Sixteen Type 150 infantry guns, eight Type 90 mm howitzers, fourteen Type mountain guns, and six Type mm mortars."

"Well, send a sealed telegram to Commander Yan. In addition to providing the same number of mountain artillery, we will also add that we are willing to deliver the two Type 150 mm howitzers equipped in the th Artillery Regiment to the Sixth Army."

Chu Yunfei's mind was spinning rapidly. After a few seconds of silence, he added, "And we will send the artillery team over as well, just in time to give them some training."

Zhao Pengcheng nodded and turned to leave.

Qian Bojun and Huang Baitao were talking to each other in a low voice: "The artillery can change their equipment, but our infantry may be in trouble."

"Military funds are insufficient, and there is nothing the chairman can do, let alone book our Second War Zone."

"The number of automatic guns on our front line is much less than before, and we were thinking of taking this opportunity to get more to strengthen the front-line firepower. Now it is estimated that we may have to further reduce it to alleviate the increasing logistical pressure."

"Speaking of which, the logistics force also needs to be expanded. May I mention it?"

Qian Bojun nodded slightly.

Chu Yunfei had a blank expression on his face, his eyes lost in thought: "I hope Commander Yang is willing to give in."

Willing to change.

That was because Yang Aiyuan was willing to do Chu Yunfei a favor.

Unwilling to give.

That's my duty.

In episode 88, during the bloody battle with the Japanese, the Sixth Army was also not idle.

Just like Fang Ligong said just now, if they took all the benefits.

What do the other combat troops think?
"Okay, let's discuss what happened just now."

Chu Yunfei noticed the conversation between Qian Bojun and Huang Baitao, and simply focused his eyes on the two of them.

Huang Baitao immediately stood up and said: "Commander Chu, with the increase in the current defense zone, our logistics supply lines are also constantly lengthening. The corresponding logistics supply system reform we have carried out before is indeed very suitable for use in a war in my opinion.

However, our popular base in areas such as northwest Shanxi is relatively weak, and it is difficult to mobilize more civilians, so I suggest taking this opportunity to increase the number of logistics personnel to deal with such situations. "

Chu Yunfei nodded: "You hit the point."

At Chu Yunfei's suggestion, Fang Ligong spoke: "The General Staff Headquarters has made a corresponding reform and construction plan for the logistics system, and with the assistance of the Construction Corps and the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, it has conducted a corresponding assessment of the amount required.

It is expected to be completed in three phases.

The first phase is planned to take a total of one year.

Specific steps are as follows.

We will increase the number of logistics personnel within three months, improve commuting conditions within half a year, increase mule and horse rations within a year, and simultaneously explore and select eight county warehouses as logistics transit stations.

This phase will cost 37 million national currency, and there is currently a funding gap of 27 million.

The second stage is to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction.

Improve the province's infrastructure, build transit stations, and absorb refugees and displaced persons.

And carry out corresponding local armed training.

On this basis, centralized agricultural production is carried out.

A rural agricultural economic system that focuses on destroying existing landlords and other feudal forces.

To cope with a protracted and long-term war.

This phase is estimated to cost 480 million national dollars.

The third stage is to carry out the reform of the post-modern system, abandon some areas that are not worth developing, and move the population inland to improve productivity and reduce administrative costs. The start of the third stage will depend on the completion of the second stage. The modernization reform of the entire Second War Zone logistics system is estimated to be completed within fifteen years. "

The formulation of the General Staff's plan was not based on Chu Yunfei's instructions.

This is the corresponding work carried out spontaneously by Luo Weiguo, Zhang Dayun and others.

Four hundred and eighty million national currency.
Chu Yunfei was extremely shocked when he heard this.

Not to mention that he and Yan Laoxi couldn't come up with so much money.

It was to force Song Ziwen, Kong Yongzhi, and even Chang Ruiyuan to death.

This money cannot be taken out.

However, it is indeed necessary to carry out the first phase of the human logistics reform plan.

Chu Yunfei looked at the combat staff led by Fang Ligong and said, "The plan is very good. I agree with it. We will now proceed with the first phase of the plan. As for the selection of the transit station and other matters, we need to discuss further with Commander Yan."

"In addition, eight transit warehouses are too many for our finances to afford. We will report the number of four transit warehouses and select them after Chief Yan approves them."

"At the moment, what we need to do first is not just to readjust and optimize the logistics system."

"We must also give priority to improving the mobility of our forces to respond to the corresponding strategic considerations of the high command and the theater of operations."

"Regarding the use of this aid amount, we will take your opinions into consideration."

"It has been decided to further stockpile ammunition, light weapons, and equipment, and to try to obtain as many additional cheap medicines as possible to maintain the current health care system."
