Chapter 677 The main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is about to withdraw. Without their cover, the
The half-month-long combat operation has taken a huge toll on the soldiers' physical and mental strength. If the fighting continues, the casualties of the troops will only increase. Having a short rest period is a good thing for both sides.
With the successful opening of the rear transportation line, a large amount of supplies were continuously transported to the Niangziguan front line. The transport planes that were previously withdrawn were also transferred back as soon as possible to continue airlifting the urgently needed supplies to the base.
A large number of reinforcements were also continuously airlifted to the front line to begin adaptive training. Li Yunlong's mouth was full of bitterness when seeing this. He really didn't expect that the new recruits would be so bad.
"Damn it, how did Xing Zhiguo train his soldiers? He even peed his pants before he even went to the battlefield. There has never been such a bad soldier in my independent regiment. He is a disgrace to me, Li Yunlong!"
"Zhang Dabiao, you son of a bitch, what are you still standing there for? I increased the intensity of the drills. If anyone can't complete the basic training, the whole class will be punished. I won't give you any reason, and the Japanese won't give you any reason either. War means death, and this is not a game of playing house!"
The more he watched the training, the angrier he got. He kept cursing as he watched, from morning to night. Li Yunlong never stopped talking, and Lin Zhenhua's ears were covered with calluses from listening to him.
"Old Li, it's no use just being angry. We've almost wiped out the militiamen that came to us, and these are new recruits who have just completed basic training for half a month. Many of them were disaster victims a few months ago. They really didn't have enough to eat or clothes to keep warm. They are very thin. It's very difficult to get them back in shape in a short period of time."
"Fortunately, with our ample supply of meat, the soldiers' bodies recovered quickly. I have to say that luncheon meat is indeed very effective in restoring the body."
Li Yunlong's mouth twitched slightly, and he interrupted with a depressed tone: "College student, you are really good at talking. Every day, a new soldier has to eat a box of luncheon meat cans. If it weren't for our medicines, let alone luncheon meat cans, we can't even drink a bowl of soup!"
"Ever since the air transport line stopped, I've been feeling anxious. I'm really worried about running out of money. Not to mention the others, the food and necessities for our four main regiments alone are not a small number every day."
"Once we start fighting the devils, the consumption of supplies will increase several times. Fortunately, we have stored a large amount of supplies before. Otherwise, we really can't fight a long-term war of attrition with the devils. The devils alone can wear us out."
"I think we should take advantage of these few days of rest to deal with those traitors. On the one hand, we should hold a public trial for them so that the people can get revenge and redress their grievances. On the other hand, we should confiscate all their property and distribute it directly to the people."
"There are many places controlled by puppet troops. If we don't take action, there will be chaos!"
Lin Zhenhua nodded in agreement. It wasn't that he didn't want to take care of this matter before, but he just couldn't spare the energy: "Old Li, I agree with your suggestion. To accomplish what you said, one regiment of troops is not enough. We need to mobilize three regiments, nearly 20,000 people to carry out this task."
"It just so happens that the new recruits have nothing to do these days, so we can let the new recruits trained by Xing Zhiguo take charge of this matter. On the one hand, we can expand our territory, and on the other hand, we can use this method to let the new recruits grow up as quickly as possible."
"Compared to the devils, the puppet army's combat effectiveness is relatively weak, and they can be the first opponent for the new recruits. In addition, we are behind them to support them, so it is less likely that problems will arise. Our air force regiment cannot be idle either, and those flight trainees can just participate in this operation."
"Only actual combat can truly train people, especially as air combat becomes more and more intense in the future, we will need more and more pilots. Although the driving requirements of fighter jets have been greatly reduced, it is still difficult to train a large number of qualified pilots in a short period of time."
"From the previous air battles, it can be seen that it is a fight between novices. Fortunately, we have sufficient fuel and a large number of fighter planes have been produced. The soldiers' training time has been further improved. In order to increase the number of pilots, I once again request to increase the production of trainer aircraft. In any case, we must not let the embarrassing situation of waiting for planes to arrive!"
While the two were talking, Zhao Gang ran over in a hurry and said anxiously, "Old Li, college student, I just received an urgent telegram from Chu Yunfei. The main force of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army encountered a fierce attack by the devils, and nearly two divisions of troops were killed or wounded. They had to withdraw from Guxian County. Now they are fighting and retreating, and it is expected that they will withdraw to their original base within 20 days."
"Once the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army leaves, we will really be fighting alone. Compared to us who have abundant supplies, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is in a very bad situation. The logistics transportation line has encountered crazy attacks from the devils, and the ammunition and supplies in the front can no longer maintain a sufficient supply. If we continue to persist, it is really possible that the whole army will be wiped out. We have to withdraw to the original starting point and prepare to launch a second counterattack after the winter rest."
Lin Zhenhua and Li Yunlong immediately rushed back to the command center and looked at the map on the wall. They knew very well that once the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army withdrew, the Japanese would be able to shorten the encirclement in a very short time, and the Northwest Shanxi Military Sub-district would be in real danger.
"Old Li, Chu Yunfei suggested that we take advantage of the time when the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has not yet left to strengthen the storage of combat supplies and find ways to build fortifications. We must make all preparations to hold on before the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army leaves."
"Especially the defense of the city, we must strictly follow this and never let the Japanese get even a little bit of supplies from the villages and towns they occupy. As the Japanese front gets longer and longer, their supply lines will also get longer and longer, which will give us the best opportunity to fight. On the one hand, we can send people to cut off their supply, and on the other hand, we can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, using the speed and firepower of the armored forces to directly defeat the Japanese main force and completely establish the current victory."
It has to be said that Chu Yunfei's suggestion was very bold and difficult to implement. However, once it succeeded, the rewards would be very gratifying. The three of them fell into deep thought together.
