The advantage of engaging in self-propelled troops is that they can quickly maneuver.

This benefit should not be underestimated, especially when fighting on the inside line, the rapid mobility of troops can sometimes exert two or even three times the combat effectiveness.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the Huaihai Campaign, Huaye and Dongye only had 600,000 people, but they were able to defeat the Kuomintang Xuzhou to suppress a total of 800,000 people, and annihilated nearly 600,000 of them, relying on the rapid mobility of the troops!

Relying on the rapid mobility of troops, the PLA can often form a two-fold or even several times superiority in local battlefields.

Ironically, the Kuomintang troops participating in the Huaihai Campaign were all mechanized troops, so much so that Principal Chang lamented that the wheels of the Nationalist army's cars could not outrun the muddy legs of the communist army.

It is precisely because of this that Zhong Yi decided to form a self-propelled army.

And Yinjiang also has such conditions, Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. has a bicycle factory, the supply of raw materials is not a problem, the steel plant can provide steel, rubber can also be transported from Guangxi, anyway, the logistics company wants to traffic goods to Yunnan, and the rubber will be transported back by the way on the return trip.

Seeing that Zhong Yi was silent, Zhao Xingjiu said: "Xiao Zhong, how many can't you do?" โ€

Zhong Yi scratched his head and said, "Old man, if someone else opens this mouth, it will definitely not work, but your old man opens this mouth, then I can't help but give you face, so let's give you ten more!" โ€

"Gotcha!" Zhao Xingjiu was overjoyed and said, "Xiao Zhong, the affairs of the Xiaogang transport team are on me, as long as your city government gives an order, we can pull it out at any time, and there will never be any mud and water." โ€

After a pause, Zhao Xingjiu said again: "However, when there is no transportation task, your city government is not allowed to take back these more than 20 manpower tricycles, with this thing, we can grab the harvest of early rice." โ€

"Of course it won't be taken back." Zhong Yi said with a smile, "These more than 20 manpower tricycles are yours, even if the Anti-Japanese War is won in the future and the transport team is disbanded, the Yinjiang Municipal Government will never take back these tricycles." โ€

"Okay, that's what you said." Zhao Xingche was so happy that he even danced a little.

The reporter of Yinjiang Daily clicked down the camera shutter and recorded the happy appearance of Mr. Zhao.

Early the next morning, a photo of Mr. Zhao dancing appeared on the front page of the Yinjiang Daily, accompanied by an article dedicated to the transport team.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

In Chongqing, Huangshan Yunxiu Tower.

Chen Bui, the director of the Second Division, put a large stack of briefings on Principal Chang's desk as usual.

These briefings are all articles excerpted from major newspapers across the country and even around the world by the secretaries of the Second Division, and they are all directly or indirectly related to China.

Principal Chang hastily ate breakfast and went back to the study to read the newspaper.

One by one, I flipped through the briefings, and soon I found the bulletins of the Yinjiang Daily.

Then, at a glance, Principal Chang saw a sketch painting of an old man dancing with his hands.

The secretary who was responsible for transcribing this article in Yinjiang Daily had good sketching skills, and restored Zhao Xingjiu on the photo to ninety percent of nine, which was almost the same as the original photo.

Principal Chang's gaze swept from the sketch and then to the article.

After reading the article, Principal Chang's face fell.

In other war zones, the national army will also recruit people to help transport supplies, but when it is called recruitment, it is actually forced, catch strong men!

But in Zhong Yi's Yinjiang, the people are enthusiastic to participate.

Chen Bui saw Principal Chang's displeasure, so he whispered: "Maybe this is just self-talk in the newspaper, and I'm afraid there is a question mark about the truth." โ€

Chen Bui's implication is that Zhong Yi is putting gold on his face.

Principal Chang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Do you think it is necessary for Zhong Yi to put gold on his face?" Also, do you think he's going to put gold on his face? โ€

Chen Bui was speechless, it was obvious that Zhong Yi would not do this.

Principal Chang said faintly: "So, this matter is credible. โ€

"What the headmaster said is very true." Chen Bui immediately followed Principal Chang's tone and said, "Zhong Yi is a person who really has ability, but it's a pity that he is a little domineering. โ€

Principal Chang sighed and said faintly: "Yes, if those commanders-in-chief in other theaters can also have Zhong Yi's ability to govern the locality, why did the situation of the National War of Resistance collapse to this point?" โ€

What President Chang said was inspired by feelings.

After the Battle of Suizao, in order to ensure the Battle of Yinjiang, the Japanese army suspended the offensive in Central China.

At this time, some senior staff members of the high command put forward a suggestion, believing that the national army should take the opportunity to counterattack.

Considering that the five and ninth theaters suffered heavy losses in the previous battles of Nanchang and Suizao, it was difficult for them to recover in a short period of time, so the heavy task of counteroffensive fell on the first, second, and third theaters.

Principal Chang immediately ordered the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd theaters to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.

The first, second, and third theaters did launch a counterattack, but the final result was very different from the result expected by President Chang, who originally thought that even if this strategic counteroffensive could not win a big victory, it could at least recover a considerable part of the country, and at least annihilate tens of thousands of Japanese troops!

However, the reality is cruel, and the counterattack in the First and Second War zones ended in a fiasco.

The most funny thing is the three theaters, the commander-in-chief of the three theaters mobilized nearly 50,000 troops from the three armies to prepare to launch a major counteroffensive from the two directions of southern Anhui and western Zhejiang, but the three armies turned back before they even left the national control area, and the reason was very simple, because the military rations were suddenly unable to be sent.

Before the counterattack began, the people who were forcibly conscripted by the three war zones ran away.

Not only did the people run away, but the people who fled even took the military rations with them.

That's why Principal Chang is particularly emotional, comparing the Third War Zone with Yinjiangyi, it is really a superior judgment, Gu Shutong, the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, has half of Zhong Yi's ability, why did he fall into today's tragic situation?

Chen Bui's mouth snorted twice, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Chen Bui actually knew very well that the problems in the three war zones were much more serious than they were exposed on the surface.

In fact, the Third War Zone did not prepare much military rations for this counterattack, and they actually took the opportunity of this counterattack to let the fleeing civilians "take the sheep" away from the millions of catties of military rations that should have existed but actually did not exist.
