Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 438: The battlefield is in tug of war, Chu Xichun meets Fu Yisheng and tries to win over the Sui army! (Subscribe)
The crackling sound of gunfire continued.

Even the soldiers didn't know where the enemy was.

Attack wherever you think there might be enemies.

That's what covering fire is all about.

In most cases it is just pure faith shooting, firing hard based on feeling.

As long as you don't hit your own people, it's good cover.

The party that is covered by firepower is like having a buff.

Gained courage from the crackling sound of gunfire.

As for the party that was shot.

Normally no one dared to show their head.

Such fierce firepower.

If you are not careful, your life will be lost.

Fighting back under cover of fire.

There are only two situations.

A person who has no other choice but to not fight back will also die.

If you don't fight back, you will be pressed forward and fall into an extremely passive situation.

another.

He is a fool, a fool in the truest sense of the word.

People who know there is a high probability that they will die, but still do it.

There are relatively few people like this.

In any case, the damage caused by fire cover is extremely limited.

This is actually why in war.

This is often the fundamental reason why so much ammunition is consumed but not many enemies are killed.

No matter who fights in the urban street fighting during the siege, or in what era, it will never be too smooth.

Casualties are inevitable.

This kind of urban street fighting is itself a form of asymmetric warfare.

An enemy hiding in the shadows.

As long as they are not too stupid and have received a certain level of training.

There is a high probability that one enemy will be killed or injured before death.

As for when the battle in Huairen City will end.

Chu Yunfei did not issue a death order, nor did he pay too much attention.

It only requires that each combat unit preserve its manpower as much as possible.

Just make sure to clear the city of enemies.

Moreover, the current geographical location of Huairen County is actually not very good.

Chu Yunfei planned to clean up the original site, dig a reservoir, and improve and repair the water conservancy facilities in northern Shanxi.

Now let’s talk about the attack on Datong City.

Chu Yunfei was not in a hurry to advance the front line.

Instead, he focused his energy on Huang Baitao's troops and the 14th Army commanded by Chen Tie.

He was now anxious to cut off the Japanese army's logistical supply lines in order to increase the chances of winning the battle.

The Japanese's logistical supply efficiency is not high.

There are even a lot of problems in the system.

However, the supply efficiency is not high and there are problems in the system. Compared with the top countries during World War II, such as the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and Germany.

Compare with what Chu Yunfei's troops said.

The total amount of supplies is completely overwhelming, but the system is slightly worse.

If compared with the backward logistics system and current situation of the National Army.

Perhaps we can replace it with another word, "advanced".

The reform of the National Army's logistics system began in 1942 and continued until the War of Liberation.

But due to the combined influence of multiple factors.

The results of the reform of the logistics system are actually not very good.

The total transportation volume per 1938 kilometers per unit time is even lower than in before the system reform.

Of course, this is also related to the abundance of materials.
-
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Brigadier General Stilwell, who was observing the battle at the front line, also received a notice from Zhao Pengcheng.

Chu Yunfei invited him to return to the Shanxi-North Front Headquarters.

To discuss a new round of arms trade.

Nowadays, Americans' production of steel and copper is extremely high.

In America, where war mobilization has already begun.

The rapid expansion of the military industry has resulted in bullets becoming the cheapest thing.

Ten million rounds of ammunition that could originally be purchased for $400,000.

Today the price has dropped to $360,000.

And with the Pacific War about to break out in the future.

The increase in demand for American armed combat forces and the current shortage will cause the price of bullets to continue to rise for a period of time.

As production continues to increase.

Bullets will become a pretty cheap thing.

This is actually part of the wartime economic system.

If it were some radical remarks.

In essence, it is also a process of adding more water to noodles and then adding more water to noodles.

Of course, this also includes artillery shells and other weapons and equipment.

Batch production is bound to reduce the corresponding production costs.

This is not.

During the intensive negotiations with Stilwell on this round of military aid contracts, the unit price of each 105mm howitzer shell was reduced from the original US$40 to US$35.

If the Americans continue to expand production according to their peak production capacity during World War II.

Most likely in a very short time.

Even including shipping costs, the price of a 105mm high-explosive bomb would drop to thirty dollars per piece.

(In 40, the average cost of a 105mm high-explosive bomb was around $28-36. Including shipping costs, the selling price of $40 was actually a moderate price.)
These shells look expensive.

But in fact, the combat effectiveness is quite high.

It is the key weapon for the army to conduct decisive ground battles.

It is also the core of Chu Yunfei's current infantry and artillery coordination tactics.

you could put it that way.

If other elite troops of the National Army could also have the weapons and equipment that Chu Yunfei’s troops are equipped with.

They can also gain the upper hand in the battle with the Japanese army.

It’s just that their efficiency in using weapons and equipment is far inferior to that of the Flying Tigers.

But then again.

Even if it's thirty dollars per shell, Chu Yunfei's troops currently consume at least eight hundred shells per day.

The Nationalist government cannot afford it either.

According to the current needs of the Nationalist government and the future US military, the domestic military industry in the United States will inevitably continue to increase production.

In the foreseeable, not too distant future.

The unit price of a 105mm howitzer shell might even be reduced to as cheap as ten dollars!
By that time, I would do it even if I had to sell everything I had.

Chu Yunfei also needs to use a batch of 105mm howitzer shells stored in Shanxi’s public warehouse.

It was as if he was planning to import large quantities of ammunition at this stage.

The General Headquarters of the Northern Shanxi Front.

"Commander Chu, are you sure you need to import an additional 80 million rounds of rifle ammunition?"

Brigadier General Stilwell is repeatedly confirming the number and requirements of bullets required by Chu Yunfei's troops.

The Springfield rifle also has a caliber of 7.62 mm.

But the bullets are not compatible with rifles such as Hanyang and Zhongzheng.

Importing so many bullets.

In fact, only combat troops equipped with American rifles can use it.

Production of 6.5mm caliber rifle bullets.

It was basically handed over to the Northwest Manufacturing Administration.

Mauser rifle bullets rely on supplies from the mountain city.

In fact, there were only four American-equipped infantry regiments under Chu Yunfei's command, two main regiments and two core regiments.

Eighty million rounds sounds a bit scary.

But judging from their current combat intensity, it is only enough for them to fight high-intensity combat for two months.

Chu Yunfei nodded seriously: "You can rest assured, the Military Industry Department, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Commission have all approved this procurement plan, which is also required for this round of operations."

"Then, have you considered importing a batch of 155mm howitzer shells? Based on my observations at the front line these days, your army uses heavy artillery quite frequently."

The demand for 155mm howitzer shells is less than that for 105mm caliber howitzers.

The production cost remains high, with one coin costing about US$88 to US$120 domestically.

When a shell is fired, even if it's just a noise you hear.

Enough to buy eight rifles.

In Chu Yunfei's plan.

There are only about 155 mm artillery shells left, which is enough for the ongoing Datong siege.

In addition, there are financial constraints.

Even if it means tightening your belt.

It is also difficult to import in large quantities.

It’s better to settle for the next best thing.

Import some 75mm mountain and field artillery shells to replenish combat consumption and prepare for corresponding field operations.

Just as Chu Yunfei was stepping up negotiations on the details of the trade contract.

The battle in the Eighth War Zone was also in full swing.

When Chu Qingbo arrived at the Eighth War Zone.

Fu Zuoyi was using the 35th Army as the main force, supported by the 7th Cavalry Division, to launch a long-distance attack on the enemy's important strategic stronghold - Baotou.

Within the headquarters.

Fu Zuoyi was attentively introducing the specific situation of the enemy in front of Chu Xichun: "The Japanese cavalry group leader Kojima Yoshizo in Mongolia commands more than 10,000 troops and a part of the puppet Mongolian army, stationed in Baotou, Salaqi, Dashetai, Guyang and other places.

The Japanese and puppet troops actually did not have many troops and were relatively scattered.

My plan was to use the 35th Army and the th Temporary Security Brigade to attack and capture Baotou;

The Suiyuan guerrilla army hid in the mountains north of Baotou, waiting for the Japanese and puppet troops to leave the city, and then took the opportunity to occupy Baotou;

The 6th Cavalry Army was deployed between Salaqi and Guisui, probably at this location.

The newly formed 6th Brigade was stationed between Dashetai and Baotou to prevent the Japanese army from reinforcing Baotou;

The 81st Army was deployed along the line of Wuzhen, Wulansuhai and Xishanzui to guard the Houtao area.

Brother Qingbo, what do you think of my battle plan? "

Chu Xichun exclaimed: "From the current situation, it can be said to be flawless. Such a perfect battle plan, as long as it can be smoothly implemented, the recovery of Baotou and other areas is just around the corner."

Fu Yisheng smiled and said, "Thanks to the Second War Zone for tying down a large number of Japanese troops in northern Shanxi, at least from the current point of view, the only possible reinforcement is part of the 26th Division. On this basis, our army has a chance to recover Baotou and defeat the Japanese counterattack."

"Yun Fei's plan is not just to contain the Japanese troops and support the Eighth War Zone in taking Datong. To be honest, containing the Japanese combat forces in Suiyuan is just a side job."

"Oh?"

Fu Yisheng was a little surprised, and immediately thought of a possibility: "He doesn't really want to recover Datong, an important city in northern Shanxi, right?"

"What does Commander Fu think?"

Seeing Chu Xichun smiling.

For a moment, Fu Yisheng was undecided.

Even if the Japanese army was defeated in the Second War Zone, they probably had caught their breath after such a long time.

You know, the wars fought in the second half of this year in the Second War Zone were all battles of crushing defeat, not the previous wars of annihilation.

The 20th Division's complete withdrawal preserved a great deal of vitality.

The Japanese army is capable of fighting and poses a great threat.

If these combat troops cannot be annihilated.

The Japanese army will always maintain a threat to the Shanxi region.

The intensity of the war with the Japanese army continues to increase, which is actually not a good thing for Shanxi.

"With the current military strength and capabilities of the Second World War Zone, can it withstand the Japanese counterattack?"

Chu Xichun was full of confidence and said firmly: "Of course you can."

Fu Zuoyi was skeptical.

The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is obvious to all.

He also has his own pride.

The combat effectiveness of Fu Zuoyi's troops.

It is much stronger than the Jin army under Yan Laoxi's command.

However, they were inevitably defeated when fighting against the Japanese army several times.

The balance can only be maintained in a defensive battle.

This is because they carried out a large amount of civil engineering construction, that is, the construction of fortifications.

Today, the Second World War is conducting offensive operations.

In other words.

The Japanese army became the party with defensive advantage.

What is the outcome of this battle?

Fu Zuoyi was not actually optimistic.

He even considered a winter offensive.

It would have been a great achievement if the Second War Zone had cooperated well with the Eighth War Zone to recover Baotou and attack Suiyuan.

But now.

Chu Xichun's arrival made Fu Zuoyi doubt that Chu Yunfei seemed to really intend to recover the entire northern Shanxi.

"Brother Harunami, as far as I know, the Second War Zone should be reorganizing its army right now."

What is Army Collation.

To tidy up and train is a more polite way of saying it.

Some harsh words.

That means retraining from scratch to meet the combat effectiveness requirements of combat troops.

And accept the reorganization of the troops.

It must be a combat unit that has suffered huge losses due to fighting or other reasons.

The Second World War Zone carried out army reorganization.

In other war zones.

It’s because of the continuous fighting in the recent period.

This resulted in insufficient combat forces in the entire theater of operations and a decline in combat effectiveness.

Under this situation.

How can we take it down and hold on to it?
Chu Xichun smiled, and then explained: "This army reorganization is not a traditional reorganization and training, but a real reorganization and adjustment."

"Take the Fifth Army as an example. After the reorganization, the Fifth Army not only improved its combat effectiveness, but also had a variety of Whampoa officers and officers who had studied at the Shanxi Military Academy."

"Although they are all students, their identities are much more complicated. There are members of the Kuomintang, members of the Communist Party, and officers from the military who have never joined a party."

"This"

Fu Zuoyi was extremely surprised.

Has the Second World War zone already started doing these things?

The communication between the two war zones was generally closed.

The reorganization of the army in the Second World War zone has already begun for three months.

The Eighth War Zone still has no idea of ​​the specific situation in the Second War Zone. Apparently, the Supreme Command has not disclosed any relevant information.

Seeing that Fu Zuoyi's surprise was not fake, Chu Xichun continued, "At present, the Second War Zone is also carrying out the re-education and ideological transformation of the old officers."

"Wang Qifeng, a former general of the Northeastern Army, is still serving as the commander of the Cavalry Division."

"While the generals of the Jin army are receiving corresponding tactical and strategic training and education, they are also learning the corresponding new military regulations and disciplines."

"The reorganization of the Military Law Department has made the main force of the Jin Army a new type of army with strict discipline."

"Reorganization of the Judge Advocate General?"

Chu Xichun nodded and said, "Chu Yunfei is the current director of the Military Law Department, and his subordinate Cao Yuncheng is the deputy director. As for the military discipline supervisors, some are recruited from the exiled students, and the rest are Communist Party members sent from Yan'an."

"This"

Fu Yisheng was horrified.

How dare Chu Yunfei employ a Communist Party member!
Not long ago, he set up his headquarters in Wuyuan and actively rectified the military and political affairs. In addition to establishing a "Mobilization Committee" and reorganizing the provincial government, he personally organized the "Anti-Japanese War and National Construction Discussion Meeting" (abbreviated as "Anti-Japanese Construction Meeting") in Baichuanbao in May 1939 to train military and political cadres at all levels.

Participants included members of the Kuomintang, the Communist Party and non-partisans.

Five sessions were held, lasting more than three months.

It played a positive role in promoting close coordination between the military and the government and strengthening the forces for the War of Resistance.

But this also caused criticism from the mountain city.

He Yingqin immediately sent Central Supervisory Committee member Yao Dahai from Shancheng to Baichuanbao.

In the name of "investigation", Fu Zuoyi was asked to exclude the Communist Party. Fu Zuoyi had no choice but to send most of the Communist Party members in various military and political institutions back to Yan'an.

This matter was actually instigated by Chang Ruiyuan and arranged by the CC faction.

And before that.

In 38, Fu Yisheng went north to promote "independence".

In addition, Fu Yishen has close ties with the Red Party.

He was attacked by Yan Laoxi and divided into seven and a half groups.

The current Second War Zone is obviously more like the Seventh and a Half Route than Fu Zuoyi!
Fu Yisheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Commander Yan's change in attitude is really surprising."

Chu Xichun smiled and continued, "Commander Fu, if it's convenient, we can talk about the whole matter in detail. But before that, on behalf of the Second War Zone, I would like to ask, what is the current position of the Soviet delegation?"

"I have sent a cavalry company to escort them."

It seemed that he sensed Chu Xichun's concerns: "The Northwest has also received pressure from the Soviet Union and Shancheng, and has also received corresponding benefits from Shancheng. I think they will not continue to cause trouble."

"Based on this calculation, we estimate that we will arrive in northern Shanxi within three days."

When people are in the command center.

Time always seems to pass quickly.

But the soldiers on the front lines don't feel that way.

Even when there is no combat mission.

The battlefield is also a torment for the soldiers.

The winter in northern Shanxi is as cold as usual.

snow.

It came down as soon as he said it.

but.

This is actually a good thing for the Chinese army that is fighting.

The Sanggan River, which was originally muddy, was completely frozen due to the further drop in temperature.

The saying that a three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight is indeed true.

But when you have seen a river frozen overnight and become passable.

I guess I would also suspect that it’s because the temperature is not low enough.

Not to mention the combat troops on the front line.

Even Chu Yunfei and others at the command center felt that the weather was getting colder too quickly.

"I don't know what the situation is like for the frontline troops. If things continue like this, I'm afraid the offensive will be stopped."

"If we stop, the Japanese will definitely be able to complete the corresponding deployment adjustments. The status quo that we have worked so hard to achieve will likely change, and the victory that is within our grasp will slip away from our hands."

Fang Ligong frowned.

Obviously, he was also very conflicted at this moment.

Attacking in winter was the established strategy.

It is also to wait for the autumn harvest and the troops to rest.

The climate in northern Shanxi is extremely harsh in winter.

Can it delay the overall attack?
This is what Chu Yunfei really thought before launching the attack.

after all.

When the Liberation War just began.

The PLA troops were able to launch proactive attacks against the Shanxi Army and the Suiyuan Army in areas such as northern Shanxi and Suiyuan.

There is no reason why they cannot defeat the Japanese.

It's impossible that the logistical supply situation, cotton clothes and cloth shoes distribution ratios of Xu He and his comrades' troops are better than theirs, right?

Just hold on to this idea.

Chu Yunfei would issue the military order to continue the attack in the early morning.

at the moment.

After truly feeling the outdoor temperature.

He couldn't help shivering from the cold.

At this moment, Chu Yunfei was wearing a cotton coat and a military coat on the outside.

The cold northwest wind still made him feel bitingly cold.

Fang Ligong thought he could make Chu Yunfei change his mind.

What he didn't expect was that Chu Yunfei still maintained his original point of view: "If we wait until the spring to attack, the thawed mud will also limit the attack of our heavy artillery units."

"Without the mobile operations of the heavy artillery, we will most likely suffer losses."

"Snow is not all bad for us."

"At least the Japanese fighter planes within the snowfall area could not take off smoothly."

"When visibility is low, their combat efficiency will also be greatly reduced."

Fang Ligong, with his hands behind his back, sighed: "But if we continue to fight in this environment, our non-combat casualties will definitely not be small."

Chu Yunfei's expression was solemn: "The Japanese are also in such a battlefield environment. At least in the short term, we even have the advantage."

"Get the stretcher teams and field hospitals ready."

"Regarding the treatment of frostbite, I have already issued an order to standardize the operation manual, strictly instructing all units not to handle it on their own to avoid unnecessary casualties."

"Yes!"

In Chu Yunfei's memory.

There is a document titled "Summary of Basic Experience of Medical Work in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea", which clearly records that during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, a large number of non-combat casualties occurred due to many reasons, such as the medical staff having no experience in dealing with frostbite.

This resulted in many soldiers who should not have had their limbs amputated having to spend the rest of their lives as disabled people.

(Summary of Health Work in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea; Summary of Health Work in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea - War Wound Surgery; Field Internal Medicine; Health and Epidemic Prevention; Summary of Health Work in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea - Health Service and other materials)

To avoid this from happening.

It is also to reduce the number of non-combat casualties.

The first moment I learned that it was snowing.

Chu Yunfei issued a work manual written by him personally on how to identify the types of frostbite and how to deal with basic frostbite, in order to improve the work efficiency of the field hospital and reduce unnecessary casualties.

This would also allow him to give the order to continue the attack.

Make sure you are in a state of clear conscience.

Just as the two of them looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

Zhao Pengcheng walked quickly into the courtyard of the command center.

His arms were full of firewood.

Facing Chu Yunfei's puzzled gaze.

Zhao Pengcheng grinned and explained, "My Lord, there's not enough space over there in the kitchen, so let me stack it over here."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Don't light a fire in the courtyard."

"Yes!"

He turned quickly and walked back into the room.

Chu Yunfei signaled Zhang Dayun to leave a gap in the window to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

"Burning coal for heating, how could the brothers have been treated like this before?"

When Chu Yunfei heard Zhang Dayun's sigh, he also smiled.

What Zhang Dayun said in the past.

It was several years ago.

At that time, he had just crossed over.

A fifth-term student of the Whampoa Military Academy, he went through life and death for more than ten years before becoming a colonel and a regiment commander.

In fact, this itself is a manifestation of lack of attention.

At that time, the treatment of the 358th Regiment could only be considered third-rate in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army system.

If Chu Yunfei himself had not shown his corresponding talent, he would not have been valued by Yan Laoxi.

And it was designated as a garrison.

It gave him a stage to display himself.

How could Chu Yunfei be in his current situation?
In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Time flies by so fast.

Think of this.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but look at everyone in the room with some emotion.

Fang Ligong, Zhang Dayun, Luo Weiguo, and even Zhao Pengcheng.

The time I spent with him varied.

Even Fang Ligong and Zhao Pengcheng had been by his side for four years.

Fortunately.

Everything is slowly getting better.

Zhao Pengcheng walked to the side and said, "I just heard from the coal transporter that the coal in the rear is very cheap now."

"A full basket of coal is only 80 cents. If you exchange a cart of coal for stones, you only need to pay two dollars."

"One truckload of coal is enough to support not only one family, but even dozens of families."

A combat staff officer asked curiously, "Can stones be exchanged for coal?"

Luo Weiguo touched his chin and explained, "Because we still need to build roads and water conservancy projects."

"The previous policy of exchanging rocks for coal is still in place. Because it was free before, many people took advantage of our policy to sell coal at a high price. So now we still charge two yuan for a truckload of coal, and strictly require them to sell it according to the guidance price... After deducting the cost, the profit of a truckload of coal is at least four yuan."

"But isn't this making money from the public treasury? If we have unified purchase and sales, the public treasury can at least get a profit of three yuan..."

Luo Weiguo was stunned.

He turned his head and looked at Chu Yunfei who was standing in front of the sand table.

This is asking for Chu Yunfei's opinion.

Chu Yunfei immediately spoke out: "As long as the price is set as the guiding price, whoever can make money from it is his own ability, and don't worry about these trivial matters."

He is not averse to this kind of speculative behavior.

It's nothing more than more people seeking personal gain from it.

Quarrying - transportation - exchange - sales.

This industrial chain involves too many people and provides a large number of jobs.

The profit earned is actually quite meager.

Chu Yunfei has no control over it.

Being able to make money is their ability.

As long as it does not exploit the people and does not affect the prices of supply and marketing.

He naturally wouldn't ask.

The process of the formation of this supply and marketing industry chain.

It's just a reasonable use of the current rules.

This group of people did not take money from the consumer side, that is, from ordinary people.

This kind of trivial fiscal expenditure actually does not put any pressure on the finances.

Instead, it saves a lot of quarrying and transportation costs.

Coal production has fully recovered and is even expanding.

For combat troops.

It is a very cheap heating necessity even for local people.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of transportation.

Chu Yunfei even wanted to allow the rear areas of the War of Resistance to use coal mines from Shanxi.

In Shanxi region at this moment.

As long as the local people have such needs.

The local armed forces and militia self-defense forces scattered across the country will try their best to buy large quantities of cheap subsidized coal from nearby towns and bring it back.

Too low coal prices.

Nature can help the people get through this winter safely.

Just as Chu Yunfei was warming himself by the fire and thinking about something.

Suddenly, a prompt sound came in my mind.

[The current base development module has been upgraded. ]

The consciousness was instantly immersed in the system panel.

Then the base development module was opened.

[Current base areas: Southeast Shanxi base area; South Shanxi base area; Central Shanxi base area; Northwest Shanxi base area]

Currently, the base modules that Chu Yunfei can directly view and understand mainly consist of four parts.

Except for southeastern Shanxi and northwestern Shanxi.

The Jinzhong base area and the Jinnan base area seemed to have just been incorporated.

It has not appeared before.

Just when Chu Yunfei was about to open the modules of Jinzhong Base and Jinnan Base to understand the situation.

There was no response from the system.

It feels a bit like I have no right to view it. Could it be because the southern Shanxi and central Shanxi regions are not under actual control?
Or is it because there are no troops stationed there?

Xie Ming is currently in charge of the construction of southern and southwestern Shanxi. Sun Weimou and Zhuo Tianyu's people rarely go there.

After trying several times without any response, Chu Yunfei chose to give up.

Eat the food one bite at a time.

He immediately focused his attention on the base in southeastern Shanxi.

Subsequently.

Basic information about the anti-Japanese base in southeastern Shanxi immediately appeared in front of him.

Current population: 414 million

[Estimated GDP: 18303 million (French currency)]

[Current estimated total annual revenue: 2661 million (French currency)]

Current tax capacity: 83%

[The current estimated number of recruits is: 15 (38.2)]

[Current base development rating: 16 (out of )]

[Current pillar industries of the base area: tobacco industry; mining industry; military industry]

Current literacy rate: 45%

[Current stability: 72%]

[Special: The base's pillar industry resources increase by 5%; the work efficiency of various industries increases by 10%]

[Current special bonus attribute upgrade and extraction requirements: ① Stability 70% ② Base development score increased to 20 ③ Tax capacity 80% ④ Literacy rate 45%]

It only increases the work efficiency of various industries by 10%.

The estimated GDP of the entire southeastern Shanxi region increased by tens of millions.

This is enough to prove that such influence is almost in all aspects, and the bonus attribute of this base panel module is very high.

Although I don't know exactly how it works.

But such a gain really shocked him a little.

Chu Yunfei had never paid much attention to the local economic development before.

After basically taking control of the general direction, the rest was handed over to Sun Weimou and others.

Now it seems.

It seems that we need to invest more energy in local construction.

"Report, Commander Xue sent an urgent telegram, Liu Wang's troops of the 2nd Infantry Regiment encountered a counterattack by the main force of the enemy's 20th Division on the Zhaozhuang line. After three hours of fierce fighting, the casualties were heavy. They have now retreated to the rear."

"At present, the Seventh Infantry Regiment has switched to a defensive position. Commander Xue has dispatched the Sixth Infantry Regiment and the Third Infantry Regiment to jointly lead troops for reinforcement!"

Just as Chu Yunfei was preparing to plan the local economic development in detail.

The 20th Division also took advantage of the snowstorm to launch a counterattack.

Under Ushijima's planning.

They mainly attack.

They were Liu Wang's troops from the Second Infantry Regiment, which was responsible for flank cover.

The offensive went more smoothly than they had imagined.

With only the main force of a brigade, they easily defeated the Second Infantry Regiment commanded by Liu Wang.

For a while.

The success of the battle was beyond Ushijima Mitsutomu's expectations.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, we have already occupied the Zhaozhuang and Mazhuang lines. We are going to defeat the Second Infantry Regiment, which is the salient on the right wing. Should we continue to attack in depth?"

Ushijima often waved his hand: "Sack!"

"Everyone, don't you think this kind of victory is a little strange?"

The combat staff looked at each other, and then nodded in unison.

"According to the telegram sent from the front, the reason for the smooth progress is that the ground is too hard due to the drop in temperature, and they have not been able to build fortifications."

"This place was not part of our defense system before. There were no corresponding trenches or fortifications in the village. Therefore, Brigade Commander Yoshikawa judged that the enemy's retreat was due to our army's swift offensive."

Reasonable explanation.

Even Ushijima often couldn't find any faults.

It is because of these favorable factors that Ushijima often orders the Yoshino Brigade to attack the 2nd Infantry Regiment.

And now.

The offensive was so successful that the Second Infantry Regiment was defeated in less than three hours.

They achieved a victory without even resorting to unconventional warfare methods such as poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs.

This kind of victory often made Ushijima, who was used to being defeated, feel unreal for a moment.

Could it be that such a victory was actually Chu Yunfei's conspiracy?
