Chapter 824: There's news

The war has devastated China beyond recognition, and many things have been destroyed in the war, and Beiping is the ancient cultural capital of China's Ming and Qing dynasties, which has inherited China's culture for hundreds of years.

Such a famous cultural city, Liao Fan will certainly not let them be destroyed in the fire. Then the New 33rd Army has only two options in the future, one is to go south and enter Henan, but I am afraid that Chairman Chiang will not be happy, Henan has been a populous province since ancient times, rich in grain, and it is impossible for Chairman Chiang to give such a rich place to the New 33rd Army.

Then they only have the second way to choose, from the Suiyuan area to the north to the four eastern provinces! Although the road is a little farther, the four eastern provinces in northern China are also regarded as an important logistical supply area for the Japanese army, and the rear is unstable, and the Japanese army's war in China will be shaken.

"Hehe, I agree with attacking the Japanese army in the four eastern provinces!"

The first one to agree is of course Ma Wanzhong, an authentic Northeast person, who has not been back from the Northeast for so many years, and now he finally has the hope of going home, and Ma Wanzhong is of course willing to be the first to rush to the forefront.

"There are 31 infantry divisions and regiments of the Japanese army in the four eastern provinces, as well as other aviation regiments and armored brigades, etc., and the total number is between 1.2 million and 1.5 million!"

"Mine so many people? We don't even have a fraction of them! ”

Hu Guoshan was shocked, with so many troops, how could they start? The New 33 rd Army also had to protect its garrisons, and the troops that could be mobilized were only more than 100,000 troops in three divisions, which was too far behind the Japanese army's strength of more than 1 million.

Japan has not yet started a war, and even if it does, it will take a year or two for the Japanese army to be defeated in the Pacific, and the Japanese army now has little reason to mobilize the Kwantung Army to other places, unless the Japanese army fights with the Soviets in the north.

But after the Battle of Nomenkan, the little devil became cowardly, and did not dare to provoke the Soviets at all. Although war has broken out between the Soviets and the Germans, the little devils just don't dare to attack the Soviets.

"If we want to attack the Japanese army in the northeast, we must disperse the forces of the little devils, as long as we disperse more than half of the Japanese army, we can be sure to launch an attack on the Japanese army!"

Although the Japanese army has more than one million troops, these troops have to be stationed in various places, and after dispersing more than half of the Japanese troops, they will go out and station the Japanese troops in various parts of the four eastern provinces.

Although Liao Fan has an idea, but this idea is too risky, if the matter is exposed, it will not only affect the New 33rd Army, but the entire Chinese War of Resistance, and Liao Fan will become a sinner in history.

"This is not easy to do, although we have an advantage in some areas on the battlefield, but it is only a local area, and we are still at a disadvantage on the entire front line, and it is impossible for the Japanese army to mobilize hundreds of thousands or even a million troops to the south!" Li Weimin said.

Several division commanders knew very well that if the Japanese army had not suffered huge losses on the frontal battlefield, how could they easily mobilize the Kwantung Army, and with the elongation of the battle line, the Japanese army was recruiting and training soldiers on the mainland, and losing tens of thousands of people on the front line was not a matter for the Japanese army at all.

"Hey~ I thought it was a very easy thing, but now that I think about it, it seems that I thought it was too simple!" Ma Wanzhong is also aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Although they achieved great victories in Shanxi and Suiyuan, it was only because of the dangerous terrain and complex terrain of Taihang Mountain, as long as they defended it with danger, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to enter Taihang Mountain, so that they had the ability to gradually eat away at the Japanese army's strength around Taihang Mountain and Shanxi.

However, the Japanese army's strength in China is still very large, just like the New 33rd Army is still passively defending in the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain, and the little devils will attack if they want to, which shows that the Japanese army has the initiative on the battlefield, and the situation of the New 33rd Army is still very passive.

"Don't be discouraged, we didn't even dare to think about it against hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops before, but now, we can not only win, but also stabilize, maybe the four eastern provinces will be completely recovered by us in two years, directly threatening the local territory of the little devil!"

Hu Guoshan comforted Ma Wanzhong, no one can say what will happen in the future, take the new 33rd Army as an example, they have developed rapidly in the past two years, and there was not even a single soldier in the army who could drive a truck, but now they have a car company and an armored brigade.

"Regarding the affairs of the four eastern provinces, we will discuss here for the time being, and after you go back, you all think about it yourself, everything can't wait for me to arrange, you will not be subject to foreign military orders, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how do you want to fight!" Liao Fan doesn't want to tell a few people about his thoughts for the time being, after all, it is related to the fate of the country, and if he is not careful, he can push China off the cliff, and Liao Fan must think about it.

"Lao Hu, your division has frequent contact with the Japanese army at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, tell you how your division has been fighting recently!"

Now only Hu Guoshan and Li Weimin's two divisions can directly fight the Japanese army, but after Li Weimin's division expelled the Japanese army in the Suiyuan area, they will not encounter the Japanese army in the north again, and can only contact the Japanese army in the east mountain pass, so only Hu Guoshan's division can deal with the Japanese army.

"Brother Fan, the situation of our division has not been very good recently, especially in the Jingcheng area, which is the closest to the Japanese army, although the common people support us, but the number of people who join the army is not much, and the recent replenishment of our division cannot catch up with the losses, so if this continues, the proportion of veterans in the army will be greatly reduced!"

"Tell the truth!" Liao Fan has long understood Hu Guoshan's set.

"That Brother Fan...... You support us with a few 150 cannons, our division and the Japanese army are face to face, the cannons of the little devils are all in front of us, we can't do anything to them! ”

"Lao Hu, you can't speak with a clear conscience, I heard the day before yesterday that a battalion of your division attacked the Japanese artillery position, although the artillery did not come back, but you got back a lot of shells, did you still deliberately cry poor again?" Liu Chundao said, "Among the four divisions, our division was formed the latest, and it is us who should be supported the most!" ”

"Liu Chundao, you are not sensible, your division was established well late, but how much good equipment have you taken from the hands of the little devils in Shanxi, the most important thing to support is our division, since the battle crippled our division, our division has not developed, the most should be supported is our division!" Ma Wanzhong saw that there were good things, of course, he had to mix them up.

"Okay, how about I give you an armored division for each of your divisions?" Liao Fan looked at each of them and said that every time there was a meeting to discuss here, several people would frantically ask their division for equipment.

"I'm telling you I don't have a single bullet here, and if you want to get equipment, go to the little devils, they have everything in their arsenal! Lao Hu, I just want to know the casualties of your division's battles and the level of combat effectiveness of the Japanese army! ”

Although Liao Fan did not plan to fight the Japanese army at this time, he must understand the battle of his troops and the combat effectiveness of the little devils.

Hu Guoshan also became serious: "We broke out with the Japanese army in skirmishes, at most of the time a battalion of troops was dispatched, and the casualties of the Japanese army were one to two, their heavy weapons were more This is the advantage of the Japanese army, our advantage is *, the Japanese army wants to fight with us in a white-knuckle battle, and we can barely rely on them when we fight at close range!" ”

"The little devil's tactics have remained unchanged for 10,000 years, and they have suffered so many losses, and they still fight white-knuckle battles!" Ma Wanzhong said.

The new 33rd Army has basically bid farewell to white-knuckle warfare, and the Japanese army's bushido spirit is deep-rooted, and when it comes to bayonet hand-to-hand combat, it is often beaten into a sieve, especially when the two soldiers cooperate properly, and the little devils of a squad can't get close at all.

"The Japanese army lacks resources, and most of the resources they can use are taken away by the navy, so the Japanese army can only rely on the way of fighting in World War I! We now have an arsenal in Shanxi, and almost all the large factories revolve around our arsenal! Moreover, our troops are small in number and equipped with * fast, so naturally these have become our advantages! ”

The Japanese army suffered losses in the charge, and the individual firepower of the New 33rd Army was already significantly stronger than that of the Japanese army, while the Japanese army's artillery was still stronger than that of the New 33rd Army. However, the tactics of the Japanese army were rigid and rigid, but it was precisely because of the rigidity and rigidity that Hu Guoshan repeatedly succeeded.

"I hope that the Japanese army will wake up later, otherwise we will suffer a big loss on the battlefield!"

A few people only hoped that the Japanese army would change later.

"Don't worry about this problem in a short time, the number of Japanese troops is huge, it is difficult to change in a short time, and there are contradictions between the Japanese navy and the army, if there is good equipment, they will also equip the navy as soon as possible!"

In a short period of time, Liao Fan and the others were not worried about the Japanese army changing their operational thinking, and the change in operational thinking should be changed according to the change of weapons, and if the Japanese army was still keen on white-knuckle warfare, then their operational thinking would not change much.

"Okay, let's discuss it here today, and in the evening, as always, I'll invite you to dinner!"

It is not easy for everyone to get together for a month, anyway, it is already late after the meeting, and there is no need to rush back in the absence of a battle, and several people sit together and miss the old days.

"Brother Fan, Liu Deyun's father has sent a letter from abroad!" While everyone was eating, there was a report from a soldier.

Liao Fan is happy, after waiting for so long, there is finally news of Liu Deyun's father, no matter what the result is, Liao Fan wants to know as soon as possible.

"You guys eat first, I'll come when I go!" Liao Fan couldn't wait to know the result.
