During the War of Resistance Against Japan: After being scattered at Cangyunling, he brought back a

Without the support of the military, the Eighth Division would never have been able to fully mechanize itself!

"And Lao Xie too!"

"What's wrong with Wu Baili all of a sudden!" Zhao Gang suddenly exclaimed.

The original battalion would definitely be withdrawn and reorganized into the division, but Wu Baili, that kid, just quit being a battalion commander!

“It’s pretty good too!”

"He wants to focus on developing his Dragon Soul, so let him do so!"

Xie Jinyuan said in a deep voice.

As his earliest deputy, Wu Baili knew his temperament all too well!

Simply put, all five families and three brothers share one characteristic: they don't fight or compete!

He focused on doing his job well. Leading a special forces team was fine, but a battalion was already his limit!

Once you become a master, there will be a lot of things to worry about!

In other words, a person's temperament determines their future trajectory, and Baili is a case in point.

"Ugh!"

"That's the only way!" Zhao Gang shook his head and said.

This is perhaps the best approach, since among the four battalions, the first battalion has the fewest troops.

The Fifth and Sixth Battalions were established relatively recently, so it's not fair to look at it that way.

"correct!"

"Thank you!"

"If you're heading north and crossing the border within two days!"

"We might not necessarily face the Kwantung Army!"

"But intelligence indicates that the Kwantung Army is frequently mobilizing its troops!"

"I think we should open up a battle and fight a protracted war with the Japanese!" Zhao Gang suddenly thought of something and said.

A protracted war was the specialty of the new Third Army, and it was also the only way.

"no!"

"This time it's the Kwantung Army!"

"With air force reinforcements, even the best positions can't withstand the Japanese bombing!" Xie Jinyuan interrupted directly.

"Then what do we do?" Zhao Gang asked with a serious expression.

We can't just walk right into the Japanese's house and start a war, can we?

Another option was to deploy defenses at Shanhaiguan, but as Lao Xie said, the Japanese had an air force, so no amount of defense would be of much use!

"Take the initiative!"

"Take the initiative?"

"Old Xie! Are you crazy?"

"That's practically handing the Japanese devils their mouths!" Zhao Gang exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Why not avoid them? Take the initiative? And where, in what place?

"Old Zhao! Do you know what the pinnacle of light infantry is?"

"What do you mean?"

"There's a military term for this: deep penetration tactics!"

"But this is only based on a small force. After all, the enemy is building countless firing points and bunkers, which invisibly creates a network of interwoven firepower!"

"In other words, from a scientific and theoretical point of view, no large force can successfully break through without alerting the enemy!"

"But Lao Zhao! What if I told you I could lead the New Third Army to Fengtian before the Japanese devils could even react!"

"And take Fengtian!"

"Do you believe it?"

Xie Jinyuan spoke thoughtfully.

Chapter 126 Fengtian Arsenal! Based on Fundamentals! [Please subscribe automatically!]

Fengtian!

As an important part of the three northeastern provinces of China, it also served as a crucial buffer zone for the Japanese invaders in China.

Long history!

It plays a vital role in protecting and safeguarding Kyrgyzstan province.

Moreover, before the Japanese launched the war, it was an important base of operations during the old marshal's era, ranking among the best in China in terms of infrastructure, people's livelihood, and other aspects.

Of course, the most important thing is that Fengtian has the largest arsenal in China and also the largest in the Far East.

Fengtian Arsenal.

The Fengtian Arsenal has been established for quite some time. During the old marshal's era, countless sums of money were spent to purchase a large number of advanced production lines from the international market. After several rounds of expansion, at its peak, it produced more than 60,000 rifles and thousands of light and heavy machine guns annually.

In addition to gun factories and ammunition factories, the arsenal could also produce a wide variety of mountain guns and towed artillery of various calibers.

This is the fundamental reason why the Northeast Army under the old marshal's command was so strong in the early days. Ultimately, it was because in some aspects, it had already achieved self-sufficiency.

It should be noted that after the Japanese took over the three northeastern provinces, the weapons and equipment that they hadn't had time to take away from the arsenals alone numbered in the thousands, with hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition. It is said that a large number of light and heavy machine guns and artillery pieces filled the entire square. Oh, and there were also tanks and a batch of unused air force fighter jets.

The assets held by the old marshal played a key role in enabling the Kwantung Army to achieve a high degree of mechanization and a complete army, navy, and air force.

As we all know, although Japan had a good level of industrialization, it was short of national resources and focused its efforts on the navy. It was obviously not easy for the army to produce such a behemoth as the Kwantung Army!

However, what is most terrifying is the amount of investment the Japanese have made in their arsenals over the years, adding many new production lines. The scale of their arsenals is now probably more than double what it used to be, and the weapons and equipment they produce are more comprehensive, including the Type 75 field gun, the 105mm howitzer, and the Type 92.

After meeting the needs of the entire Kwantung Army, it further evolved into the main reserve force of the Japanese invaders throughout China.

"Commander!"

"We've figured it out!"

"The Japanese forces in Fengtian are not many, probably around one division!"

"Most of them are in Fengtian City!"

Three kilometers from Fengtian City, a group of people wearing helmets were hiding behind cover. Duan Peng quickly stepped forward and said.

"Just one division?"

"Battalion Commander Duan, you're not seeing things, are you?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but ask.

Is there only one division in the entire Fengtian region?

It should be noted that the Kwantung Army had a strength of 700,000 troops in the three northeastern provinces!

There shouldn't be only one division, right?

"Commander Li!"

"There are still plenty left!"

“Some of these troops are still stationed at the Fengtian Arsenal!” Duan Peng said in a deep voice.

How long until the main force arrives?

Xie Jinyuan then waved his hand to interrupt.

Although the three northeastern provinces have 700,000 elite troops, the core is naturally Kyrgyzstan, followed by Heilongjiang!

The Japanese must also be constantly on guard against that behemoth located in the north!

So the claim that the Japanese invaded with 700,000 troops was just an exaggeration!

If the Japanese dared to mobilize 700,000 troops to enter the pass, their stronghold would have been destroyed the very next day.

Of course, the most important reason is that the Japanese subconsciously believed that the greatest threat to the three northeastern provinces was the north, while no one in the interior would covet the three northeastern provinces. Therefore, the defense of Fengtian in this way is understandable.

In conclusion, Heilongjiang Province had the largest number of troops compared to the Japanese, followed by Jilin Province, and the number of troops in Fengtian (Shenyang) was roughly the same.

Of course, this is also the main reason why he is confident of taking Fengtian. The Japanese never expected that there would be a Chinese army that dared to go north, and that this army could even overwhelm the Japanese division that was symbolically left behind.

"It will take at least another five hours!"

Duan Peng shook his head.

"Five hours?" Xie Jinyuan frowned.

"no!"

"We can't wait any longer!" Xie Jinyuan said abruptly after a moment of contemplation.

"Commander!"

"We can't possibly be going to attack Fengtian with the little force we have right now, can we?" Li Yunlong, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded!

Can't we wait any longer?
