Chapter 266: Beware of the Emergency and Use Ninja to Surround and Attack the Reinforcements
Ren Zhong has no idea now how far-reaching the impact of his deal with General Shi will be, how it will change history, and how important it will be to the construction of large airplanes and aircraft carriers on the road to national rejuvenation.

However, as a qualified tool man, General Shi did arouse a strong reaction after he brought this request back.

For the Rogue Eagle, a simple steam turbine is nothing. No matter what Ren Zhong uses this steam turbine for, most people think that Ren Zhong, the technical representative of the border area, will use it for power generation, but they don’t understand why he doesn’t want a simple generator set.

After all, Rogue Eagle now has a 100,000-kilowatt thermal power generator.

In 1944, the 12 horsepower steam turbine on the Enterprise was certainly a very advanced power system. In the main world, the main power system of the 052D destroyer was only a 3.6 horsepower gas turbine, which was far inferior to the Enterprise's system in terms of power.

Even the first generation of aircraft carriers had a power of only 20 horsepower.

In terms of power output alone, this system should be enough to last for a hundred years.

So this technology is still very sensitive to rogue eagles.

If it spreads out, for example, if a big bear gets it, it will be terrible.

Even though they are allies of life and death now, Rogue Eagle can see clearly that it is because they all come together because they have the same enemy.

So after much discussion, given the importance of rocket technology and penicillin mass production technology, Rogue Eagle demanded the addition of a clause that prevented the proliferation of technology.

So General Shi was soon notified that if Ren Zhong agreed on behalf of the Dawn Research Institute that the technology would not be spread, then the two sides could reach an agreement.

After receiving this notice, Ren Zhong thought for a long time before informing General Shi of his decision. The rocket technology and penicillin mass production technology would be registered as patents in Rogue Eagle, and would be exclusively exchanged with Rogue Eagle's DC-4 production technology and 12 horsepower Parsons steam turbine technology. The other party would only be authorized to use it unilaterally to ensure that the interests of both parties would not lead to secondary diffusion of the technology.

Although such clauses are somewhat abstract, they can guarantee the interests of the other party in business.

Especially the Rogue Eagle, whether it is the DC-4 or the steam turbine, they are all exclusive technologies of commercial companies, and the property rights belong to the interests of private or listed company shareholders.

However, after the rocket technology was injected into Douglas, it was a great benefit to the company, because it immediately promoted Douglas to become one of the top technological giants in the aerospace industry.

It had an immediate effect on the increase in his stock price.

As for the penicillin mass production technology, it also boosted the companies that exchanged it to different degrees. In terms of business, Rogue Eagle did not suffer any loss. The economic benefits they obtained from using these two technologies were far greater than Ren Zhong's.

After Ren Zhong was transferred over, there was no way to produce anything in the short term. There were too many industries related to these two sets of equipment, and too many actions needed to be completed in order to match them together. Just to receive these two systems and manufacture equipment, Ren Zhong secretly planned a new plan with Staff Officer Ye.

The border region ordered the Qilu base to seize a large port to receive the equipment.

As soon as the order came out, the Qilu base was instantly in trouble. As a base in a remote area far away from the main base, the Qilu base was even worse than the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base. Now its large-scale heavy firepower was the 107 fire that was transported in small quantities. These were disassembled and transported through small roads, so the quantity was naturally not too large.

For the Qilu base, it was nothing short of a fantasy to capture a large, heavily defended port of the Japanese with such weapons and equipment.

Just when they were in trouble, another secret order came from the border area, requiring them to assemble an elite team on standby, and the main attack would be arranged separately.

In Jizhou, the brigade commander did not give Kurihara Nobuo too much time to think, and he advanced directly to the city on time within 3 days. The defensive forces of the two guard divisions outside the city disappeared, and basically not many escaped back into the city.

Faced with the brigade commander's powerful offensive, Nobuo Kurihara finally ordered half of his troops to withdraw to the north of Jizhou City.

"Finally, it was forced out." The chief of staff sighed, feeling exhausted.

"No, it's only half. The Japanese still refuse to give up. We still have a big battle to fight in Jizhou City." The brigade commander read the intelligence and said, "The engineering regiment, the logistics regiment and other small fry fled under the cover of 6 infantry regiments. There should be 6 more infantry regiments in the city ready to fight with us in the streets."

Street fighting can greatly narrow the firepower gap between different firepower teams. For street fighting, heavy artillery is basically useless.

The Japanese had a good plan. They were ready to take advantage of the advantageous terrain and engage in a bloody battle with the brigade commander and his men in the city.

There are still many civilians in Jizhou City, and the use of artillery is indeed very restricted. This really gives the brigade commander and his men a headache.

If light weapons were used to clear each street one by one, it would turn into a protracted battle for the brigade commander, who already had a disadvantage in terms of troop numbers, which would obviously be disadvantageous for the subsequent battle.

How to do?
Not only the brigade commander was racking his brains, the headquarters and the border area staff were also concerned about the situation in Jizhou. This was one of the most important battles in the counterattack against Operation Zero. If it was fought well, it would accelerate the disintegration of the Japanese Operation Zero, but if it was fought poorly, it might change the situation.

Now Operation Zero is the most important matter in the Japanese headquarters. When the Japanese are really determined to gamble the fate of the country and come to fight with all their might, it will definitely be a huge bad thing for the Eighth Route Army. Even for the Allied forces, they wish the Japanese to go crazy.

Ren Zhong is also studying it.

He has studied a lot of historical materials about the Japanese devils and has a relatively good understanding of their nature. He can even be said to be the person who understands the Japanese devils' thinking patterns best at this stage, without a doubt.

Therefore, for the current situation, it is important to analyze to what extent we should fight so as to hurt the Japanese without making them angry.

Walking a dog is a physical job, but walking a Japanese devil is an art.

"Encircling without attacking is a long-term bleeding. Develop the surrounding areas and strengthen the countryside." The brigade commander frowned when he received the new instructions from the General Staff.

"What does the General Staff mean by this?" The Chief of Staff had also read the new instructions, and for him, the literal meaning was easy to understand.

However, the Chief of Staff really couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind it.

"The General Staff Headquarters' intention should be to surround Jizhou without attacking it. As a key point in the long-term siege, it is like fishing, keeping the Japanese here." The brigade commander explained. "We should focus our main energy on developing the surrounding rural areas. Develop the outskirts of the city into our own base. This meaning is not difficult to understand, but one thing I don't understand is that the situation is so good now, why not just take over the entire Jizhong Plain?"

"According to our current strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to take it down. In this way, we can take over the entire Hebei Province, connect Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, and expand our entire base area."

It's no wonder that the brigade commander didn't understand this. In fact, many senior staff officers in the General Staff Headquarters also didn't understand the current strategy, because the current situation is indeed very good. The main force in Shanxi is now strong and the Japanese in North China have suffered heavy losses. According to the brigade commander's current strategy, there will be no big problem in occupying the entire Jizhong Plain.

It can be said that now is a good time to expand your territory.

However, none of these people thought about the feelings of the Japanese base camp. For the Japanese base camp, the loss of the entire North China was something that could never be allowed. So when this sign appeared, the Japanese base camp would definitely do its best to ensure that their territory would not be lost completely, and thus would not be able to explain to Tian Huang and the fanatical Japanese citizens.

After all, they have been promoting the myth of the invincibility of the locust army for a long time.

It can be said that from a political perspective, we should not rush to seize the territory. This is like stabbing the Japanese in the heart.

This was a conclusion drawn by Ren Zhong. After a long discussion with Staff Officer Ye, he finally instilled this idea into the staff headquarters.

Both Northeast China and North China were unacceptable losses for the Japanese. If they had to choose one to capture, Ren Zhong would rather choose Northeast China, after all, the industrial facilities in Northeast China were much stronger than those in North China.

If the production capacity of industrial facilities in the Northeast can be controlled to explode, Ren Zhong will have no problem doubling the current production capacity.

Therefore, the best strategy at this stage is to control a strategic point that the Japanese must occupy, constantly lure them to come for rescue, and then do everything possible to eliminate these reinforcements.

Give the Japanese an illusion that with a little more effort, this place can still be defended.

Jizhou is such a strategic point.

Therefore, it is not advisable to capture it directly at this stage, but to adopt siege tactics. Hollow out all the surrounding territories and turn them into a stable base.

Regardless of whether the brigade commander understands this strategy or not, he is still carrying out the instructions without any reservation.

Since he didn't need to capture Jizhou City directly, he no longer considered street fighting. After releasing the escaped Japanese soldiers 20 kilometers away, he quietly ordered the st and nd Mechanized Infantry Brigades to chase them, very patiently eating up one regiment at a time, and then surrounded and divided the next regiment, chasing down and eating up the Japanese soldiers who escaped from Jizhou City one by one.

The super mobility of mechanized infantry played a huge role in this pursuit. Compared with walking on two legs, the mobility of mechanized soldiers is much stronger.

It’s no use asking someone with two legs to run 50 kilometers first!
