Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 263
On the second day after the end of the battle, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army moved from Southeast Shanxi to Taiyuan.

At the same time, major newspapers and periodicals across the country published news headlines that the 129th Division, under the leadership of the brigade commander, recovered Taiyuan and wiped out the First Army of the North China Front Army.

Due to the existence of the United Front, the chiefs of the major war zones sent congratulatory messages to the Eighth Route Army through their own means, no matter whether they were sincere or hypocritical.

Among them, the most sincere ones are naturally the guard commander of the first theater, and Qilu and a half of the eighth theater.

The former is because he has frequent exchanges with the Eighth Route Army, and the two sides have an unclear relationship, and he appreciates this armed force that is determined to resist Japan from the bottom of his heart.

The latter is asking the Eighth Route Army, hoping to use the strength of the other side to kill the Mongolian Army entrenched in its own defense zone.

It is worth mentioning that the bald head did not mean to be stingy with his praise and praise this time.

You must know that after the end of the Hundred Regiments War, even with the persuasion of many veteran figures, he just reluctantly sent a telegram of dozens of words.

Fortunately, this time, not only took the initiative to submit an article to an authoritative newspaper, but even rewarded the brigade commander with [-] French coins by name.

Although the legal currency at this stage has begun to depreciate, its purchasing power is only one-tenth of its peak period.But one hundred French coins can still buy a big fat pig, and in a sense, it has cost a lot of money.

At first, except for the people in Jin Province and the border areas, the rest of the area was still skeptical about the content of the victory report.

After all, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, news from all provinces and places was blocked.Affected by a certain bald headed public opinion, many people's impression of the Eighth Route Army is still that of loitering and not attacking friendly troops.

What's more, even the Central Army with preserved fruit can't do it to liberate the provincial capital city.

But as more and more facts came before us, even the photo of the commander of the First Army's saber appeared in the newspapers.The common people began to spread word of mouth, so that the news of victory spread across the country.

After being promoted by the ideological crusade, the support of the Eighth Route Army ushered in a surge of support across the country for a while.

······
Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"Brigadier! Brigadier!"

"Where are you, our little Li is here to see you!"

Since the First Marine Regiment is a unit directly under the headquarters, and there are many airports around Taiyuan City, Commander Li was not assigned a new station like other regiment-level units, but stuck to the deputy commander-in-chief like brown sugar.

After finishing a day's training, Lao Li excitedly held a telegram and a roast chicken, and found the brigade commander who had just finished a meeting and was about to go to the cooking class.

The two haven't seen each other for a week, and coupled with the joy brought by the big victory, the reunion is full of laughter.

"Hey, isn't this Brigadier Li Da?"

"Rare guest, rare guest, what brought you here?"

"You're not staying at the new station, training with the recruits you just added, cultivating feelings and tacit understanding, what's the matter with my little brigade headquarters?"

The First Marine Regiment is still holding the title of a regiment-level unit at this stage, but after more than a dozen battles, they have conquered all the top leaders of the Eighth Route Army with their outstanding performance.

Under the decision of the deputy commander in chief, the headquarters decided to expand the size of the airborne troops.

At present, including the newly added soldiers and support personnel, the number of the whole regiment has exceeded [-].Calculated according to the establishment of the preserved fruit, it is not impossible to call the brigade commander.

Facing the old superior's ridicule, Li Yunlong waved his hand very casually, and then dragged the other party's arm into the room.

"You old man, don't make fun of me. There is no one in the whole army who is your opponent when it comes to bickering."

"Come on, let's eat roast chicken. I thought it was just meal time, so you must have not eaten yet, so I bought one on the way."

"I paid for it, don't worry!"

Although Taiyuan had just experienced a major battle, the 129th Division dispatched nearly a thousand artillery pieces of various types.

However, since the artillery had the city defense map of the First Army and the specific information on the deployment of troops, the shelling did not cause much damage to the buildings in the city.

According to post-war statistics, except for a few buildings in the main breakthrough direction and a church that Yoshio Iwamatsu used as a field observation post, no other buildings in Taiyuan City suffered major damage.

Even the residents in the city said that the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army only hit devils, and they walked around when they saw ordinary people.

Moreover, the national industrialists were also ready to meet Wang Shi, and when they realized that the Eighth Route Army might regain lost ground, they began to increase their stocks of raw materials.

After the recovery of Taiyuan, the factory started to work quickly and made a major contribution to stabilizing market prices.

In addition, the deputy commander-in-chief personally ordered troops at all levels to help the people repair their houses.In just one day and one night, the entire city of Taiyuan was almost free from the effects of the war.

Seeing the brigade commander eating a mouthful of chicken and millet porridge, Li Yunlong took out the telegram and smiled maliciously.
"In the battle of Taiyuan, you wiped out the enemy like hemp, and gained a lot."

"It shows that our officers and soldiers are heroic in killing the enemy without regard for their own lives. And Chen Brigade's command is appropriate, which is very commendable! The good news comes from the south, and I am deeply comforted!"

"I hope that the above-mentioned battle history and the officers and soldiers who contributed will be checked and reported in detail, so as to reward them."

As soon as this remark came out, the brigade commander who had eaten well was choked in the throat by a mouthful of millet porridge.

When Li Yunlong was reading the telegram just now, he deliberately spoke poor Zhejiang Mandarin, and he really looked like someone without looking at his face.

Looking at the narrowed eyes of his old leader, Lao Li hurriedly pushed the telegram in front of the other party, and hurriedly explained:
"This is a commendation telegram from the bald head. The deputy commander asked me to pass it on to you!"

"But this guy is too stingy. Our Eighth Route Army fought such a big victory, the entire First Army was wiped out, and we were given some French coins and a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal."

"Judging from the current purchasing power of [-] French currency, even ten Hotchkiss heavy machine guns can't be bought."

The brigade commander picked up the telegram and glanced at it briefly, then shook his head with a smile.As the person most valued by the bald head, he really knew the old principal's style of work very well.

Although the relationship between the two parties at this stage cannot be said to be confrontational, it is definitely incompatible.

The Eighth Route Army won a battle in Jin Province, and the other party actually rewarded them with real gold, silver and medals. They just wanted to use some people in their own family and let them use the rewards to make a fuss.

It's a pity that the brigade commander already had a suitable solution.

"Okay, just say a few words less."

"Looking at the current situation, it's good if people can give you money. In the future, keep your mouth shut. If anyone with a heart wants to hear it, you will be in trouble."

"I intend to subsidize this money to the wounded soldiers. It is more or less my wish. Medals, it doesn't matter."

Li Yunlong came to the headquarters this time, and he had nothing serious to do.

After teasing the brigade commander with a telegram, the two chatted for more than half an hour and then went back to their respective homes.

······
The angle of view is given to Huang He, who has not appeared on the scene for a long time.

The border area received news of victory as soon as the Taiyuan Battle ended.It's a pity that the location of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau is relatively remote, and the loudspeaker that has been circulating for half an hour cannot be heard.

Fortunately, the director installed a radio station in the communication room of the Yellow River, which enabled comrades to receive news in time.

After recovering the entire Jin Province, both the generals on the front line and the logistics staff in the rear were very busy.

The former requires a new defense plan and redefinition of defense zones at all levels.

After all, the North China Front Army, the Mongolian Army, and the Kwantung Army are still staring at each other, and the Jin faction in the southwest corner is not dead, and the fruits of victory need to be consolidated and protected.

There is no less work for the latter, reality is not a game.

In a 7+ coloring game, as long as you defeat the enemy, the corresponding territory will change color.All production capacity on the entire land will be owned by the winning party.

But in reality, you have to integrate the existing production equipment and raw materials of the factory first, and then call all the workers back.

If some workers are unwilling to go back to work, some of them have to be retrained to plug the gap.Counting all kinds of troubles, the workload of logistics workers is no less than that of generals.

And for Huang He, a special military worker, the Taiyuan Arsenal is the biggest gain of this campaign.

This harvest does not refer to the factory in reality. After all, after Yan Laoxi's transfer and the Japanese plundering, there are no good things in the whole factory.

After the lack of important equipment, the Taiyuan Arsenal can only manufacture rifles, light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and landmines.

These weapons can also be made by the logistics department in Southeast Shanxi.Even in terms of quality and production capacity, our own military industrial zone is several times better than Taiyuan.

Moreover, the problem of inconsistent ammunition calibers must also be considered, which can only be regarded as icing on the cake.

The only things that can enter the eyes of the Yellow River are the two steel factories inside and outside the city.

With a steel factory, troops can make steel by themselves, freeing up several civilian factories in the system in exchange for other resources.

The so-called harvest is actually the newly unlocked munitions designer in the system.

"Taiyuan Arms Factory: This factory was run by the Jin Dynasty and was quite famous in the field of manufacturing guns and ammunition. It was also known as the three largest arsenals in the Republic of China along with Fengtian and Hanyang.

Type: Artillery Manufacturer
Effect: The production speed of any artillery and ammunition in the military factory in the system +15%
Activation conditions: 1. The Eighth Route Army recovers Shanxi 2. The host goes to the factory to activate. "

Don't underestimate the 15% artillery production speed. If there was this bonus before the Taiyuan Battle, the artillery unit of the 129th Division would have sixty more M1897 75mm cannons.

And it is applicable to any type of artillery, which means that even the later GPF 155mm artillery can enjoy this bonus.

A big baby of this caliber is a good thing at the bottom of the box even if it is put on the European battlefield.

What's more, as long as a suitable chassis can be developed, it can be transformed into a small bomber on the spot. The M1942 self-propelled artillery used by Ugly after 12 is the GPF.

"World of Tanks level 7 vehicle."

After the Eighth Route Army has gained a firm foothold in Jin Province, it will definitely choose to invest heavily in infrastructure.

With the emergence of more and more roads, railways, and industrial areas, the production of anti-aircraft guns also needs to be prioritized. After all, it cannot be completely intercepted by the First Air Division.

At this stage, the Hotchkiss 25mm anti-aircraft guns are not bad, as long as the number increases, the effect will be sufficient.But it doesn't mean that Huanghe won't use scientific research tanks to point out larger caliber guns in the future.

With the addition of the Taiyuan Arsenal, the production speed of both Schneider's 37mm and 75mm CA1940 anti-aircraft guns has increased.

In addition to the unlocked munitions designer, the second harvest of this campaign is to unlock the medal function, and unlocked two at a time.

"Hundred Regiments War Medal: Awarded to all participants in the Hundred Regiments War, including soldiers and ordinary people, in recognition of their contributions to breaking the cage.

Effect: The production speed of infantry light weapons in the military factory in the system +1%"

This medal is very plain in style, made of brass, and has a diameter of 32 mm.

It has the words Hundred Regiments War written on the top of the front, and the railway in the middle represents the assault war.The words People's War are inscribed on the back, with the hammer and sickle symbol engraved above.

Huang He was actually not very satisfied with the effect of the medal.

It was the first large-scale battle of the Eighth Route Army, and the 1% bonus was inevitably a bit stingy.

But after thinking about it carefully, I was relieved, the medal bonus for awakening the brave tiger can be superimposed.There are still many major battles in the future, and the accumulation of small numbers will definitely be a terrifying number.

"Recovering Taiyuan Medal: Awarded to participants in the Taiyuan Campaign, including the Army, Air Force, and ordinary people directly involved in logistics and transportation, in recognition of their contributions to recovering the lost land.

Effect: The production speed of infantry light weapons in the military factory in the system +0.33%, the production speed of any artillery and ammunition +0.33%, the production speed of any type of fighter plane and ammunition +0.33%”

The size and material of the second medal have not changed, it is also a round brass with a diameter of 32 mm.

On the front of the medal are a fighter jet, a cannon, a trolley and a soldier holding a rifle. On the top of the front of the medal along the edge are written Defend North China, Defend China.

On the back is the battered southern city wall of Taiyuan, which was bombed by the Kongyi Division in this battle, and the time of May 1941, 5 is also engraved.

The bonus of this medal gave Huang He a rough guess, that is, the total bonus of a single battle is only 1% at most.

If it is multi-arms coordinated operations, all arms participating in the battle will share the 1% bonus equally.

After shutting down the system, Huang He sat in his office with some melancholy.

According to his personality, even without the production speed bonus given by the system, he would propose to the Extremis War Fox to make medals to commemorate large-scale battles.

However, the number of participants in the Hundred Regiments War and the Battle of Taiyuan is definitely around 100 million.

Leaving aside the civilian factories in the system, how long will it take to replace enough brass that needs to be used.Just the production process of 100 million medals is enough to cause headaches in the border area.

Huang He was scratching his head in great distress when he suddenly took on a large amount of foreign debt.This arrears can only be repaid slowly after the entire North China stabilizes.

After a while, Huang laughed out loud in the office.Distributing millions of medals at one time is simply more hard-core than the future Xunzong.

In a sense, the nickname of Xunzong is likely to be snatched away by himself.But Zongzi is not worthy of him, it is very likely that it is Mr. Xun.
