Glorious Mission 1937

Xu Hu didn't know that his Special Mixed 3rd Brigade was now facing the crisis of being dumped by the Japanese army, and Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeru also didn't know that a large number of Chinese troops had also reached the periphery of the battlefield. The infantry divisions were wiped out in a short time.

Originally, this battle was fought in a muddle-headed manner. Both sides were not prepared, but they both wanted to catch the other side by surprise and give the other side a blow.Now that both of them have calculated each other, and at the same time, they have also been calculated by the other party.

Leaving aside the strange battle situation on the front line in Xuanhua, the whole country was excited by the news that the Eighth War Zone was fighting the Japanese army, and then the National Government’s Military and Political Department held a press conference in Chongqing. At the meeting, Minister He praised Chen Feng and the Eighth War Zone In one word, what is the pillar of the country, what is the role model of the people, the words of praise are all free, and they all go to Chen Feng.

Now Chen Feng's reputation has long been known, not to mention domestically, most of the country's elites abroad have also heard of Chen Feng's name, so the National Government's praise of Chen Feng is simply not in their eyes. However, what the National Government said later made Chen Feng extremely happy.First of all, the national "government" actually called on the nationals in the enemy-occupied areas to move to the northern part of the Great Wall, and ordered the Kuomintang troops along the way to provide convenience.Secondly, the National Government assigned the three counties of Hequ, Gufu, and Shenmu to the jurisdiction of Saibei Province, and at the same time gave the eighth war zone the designation of one army group, which was the 1th Army Group.Finally, the Nationalist Government appointed Chen Feng as the Deputy Chief of Staff and National Defense Commissioner of the National Revolutionary Army.

The third one, Chen Feng, didn't take it seriously. The mere deputy chief of the general staff was nothing more than a worthless position.It is impossible for Lao Jiang to hand over the elites of his lineage to him to command, and he will not use the hundreds of thousands of elites in his hands to block the guns of the Central Army, so this deputy chief of staff looks awesome, but he is actually a fart. [

However, calling for immigration to Northern Serbia Province and assigning the three counties of northern Shaanxi to the Eighth War Zone is a real benefit. The lack of population in the Northern Serbia Province is the biggest shackle that restricts the development of the Eighth War Zone. As long as the population problem is solved, the industrialization process of the Northern Serbia Province will be very fast. If it can be done, with the current industrial foundation, Chen Feng is confident that he can form an elite army of several million people within three years.

And the three counties in northern Shaanxi are the top priority for Chen Feng's development, Hequ and Gufu are okay.Nothing special.But Shenmu is different. Not only does it have coal, but it also has oil that is lacking in the Eighth War Zone.Chen Feng had been coveting that place for a long time, but it was hindered by Yan'an's reaction.So there has been no action.In addition, Chen Feng still doesn't dare to disclose the matter of where there is oil.Therefore, Chen Feng is planning to contact Yan'an.I hope to send troops to Shenmu, but Lao Jiang gave him a good chance.

In fact, Chen Feng had no reason to stop Yan'an from entering Shenmu County, because these three counties in northern Shaanxi were not within the sphere of influence of the Eighth Route Army.In the past, it was indeed under the jurisdiction of the "government" of Shaanxi Province, but since the Red Army captured the northern Shaanxi plateau, the northernmost counties in northern Shaanxi have been occupied by Yanxi Mountain in Shanxi, so the three counties of Shenmu Hequ and Gufu are very long. Time is under the jurisdiction of the World War II zone.

After the Japanese army captured Xinkou, the soldiers pointed directly at Datong, and the Jinsui Army in Northwest Shanxi fled in all directions. Therefore, the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Northwest Shanxi and opened up many guerrilla areas.When Chen Feng defeated the army stationed in Mongolia and forced the Fourth Division and other troops to flee from Saibei, the route of the Japanese army going south passed through Northwest Shanxi. Tens of thousands of troops suddenly appeared. Once these three counties are completed, the occupation will last for two years.

The reason why Lao Jiang allocated these three counties to Saibei Province this time was because he learned from Kang Ze that Chen Feng wanted the territory of Shenmu County, so in order to please Chen Feng and the entire Eighth War Zone, he simply allocated the three counties in Northern Shaanxi Province. The three counties in the country were all assigned to Saibei Province.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Lao Jiang took the opportunity to attack Yan'an. If Yan'an turned against Chen Feng's troops because of this, then Lao Jiang would really be able to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Although Lao Jiang is not good at fighting, and his human eyes are so-so, but in terms of political skills, only Mr. "Mao" in Yan'an can match him. As for Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yan Xishan, He Jian and his Chen People can't keep up with Lao Jiang, and Chen Feng admires him for this move alone.

He knew it was a pit, but Chen Feng had no choice but to jump into it for oil and for the large-scale mechanized troops.

Although it doesn't make much sense for Chen Feng to take over these counties now, anyway, Shenmu's oil fields cannot be exploited.But it can be arranged in advance. For example, oil refining equipment and related facilities can be built in advance, as long as the Japanese army can't see that there is preparation for oil extraction.

However, what made Chen Feng happy was that just when Chen Feng was about to send people to Yan'an to talk with Zhu Mao, Deng Ping brought Li Yunchang to him, saying that Yan'an had agreed to hand over the territory of these three counties to the Eighth War Zone. , but Chen Feng needed to assure Yan'an that no matter what the circumstances, the army from the Eighth War Zone would not go south to northern Shaanxi.At the same time, the Eighth Route Army is developing rapidly, and there is a huge gap in weapons and equipment. I hope that Chen Feng can sell another batch of weapons and equipment to the Eighth Route Army.

These two conditions were nothing to Chen Feng. Originally, he had no idea of ​​going south to wipe out the Eighth Route Army, so it was no big deal to agree to Yan'an.Let's talk about weapons and equipment. The Eighth War Zone is currently eliminating old weapons. I think the Guards Division, 101st Division, 222nd Division, [-]th Division, Paratroopers, and Marine Corps have all replaced them with automatic rifles.

The eighth war zone now has 9 production lines producing K rifles, and the monthly output has exceeded 3, and this number is still increasing.Now the Eighth War Zone is equipped with nearly 28 K rifles, and there will be about 25 more to be fully refitted. At that time, there will be at least 30 Mauser rifles and 10 [-] rifles in need. It is also so-called to be eliminated and sold to Yan'an.

After discussing with Yang Yi and others, Chen Feng decided to sell 5 divisions of German-made light weapons to the Nationalist Government, and to provide the Nationalist Government with weapons and equipment from 2 cavalry divisions.At the same time, he provided Yan'an with the weapons and equipment of 2 infantry divisions and 1 cavalry division, and the price was very fair, less than half of the price he bought from the Germans.But only Chen Feng knew that even this price was enough to cover the production cost of the Mauser rifle, and he could make a small profit.

Chen Feng's decision made Chiang Kai-shek and Mao in Yan'an extremely happy. The Nationalist Government has no shortage of people now, there are plenty of people in the rear, and there are too many refugees who cannot be resettled. What is lacking is only weapons and equipment. As long as there are enough weapons Equipment, Lao Jiang can form an army of millions in the shortest time.With the weapons and equipment of these 5 infantry divisions and 2 cavalry divisions, forming an army of [-] is a piece of cake.

The idea of ​​Yan'an is also the same. They also have no shortage of people. The three main divisions have developed extremely rapidly. According to the statistics some time ago, the total strength of the three main divisions has exceeded 55.But there are only 15 elites inside, and other troops are still short of guns as in history, and guerrilla warfare is okay, but it is impossible to fight the Japanese devils head-on. With these weapons provided by Chen Feng, Yan'an has the confidence to add another five Wan's elite troops, the number of elite troops of the Eighth Route Army can be increased to 20 by then, and it will not be difficult to beat the county and provincial capitals of the little devils.

另外苏联那边也传来了好消息，苏联『政府』已经将37艘军舰交付给了黑龙江舰队，其中有2艘重巡洋舰和5艘轻巡洋舰、4艘护卫舰、3艘近卫装甲舰、4艘驱逐舰、2艘运输就护舰、1艘低舷战舰、2搜海上猎潜舰、8艘鱼雷艇、5艘潜艇、1艘布雷舰。这相当于陈锋所订购所有战舰总数的34%。

However, according to the news from Jiang Haitao and Hu Haibin, the batch of warships delivered by the Soviet Union were not all new ships, but a small part were refitted from Soviet warships in active service, and the thickness of the armor did not meet the design at all. In addition, in terms of tonnage and combat capability, the heavy cruisers of the Soviet Union are actually equivalent to the battleships of the United States, Japan, Britain, France and other countries, but the three heavy cruisers delivered to them by the Soviet Union are only enhanced versions of light cruisers. Far, not only the caliber of the naval gun is much smaller, but even the hull is only two-thirds of the heavy cruiser of the Soviet Union.

After listening to the report by Jiang Haitao and others, Chen Feng felt annoyed. These old men really have no fucking business reputation. Compared with Americans, they are really a bunch of uneducated bastards.I really thought I didn't know the goods, those rags were fooling labor and capital, and when the master came back, he was settling accounts with you bastards.

Now that the first batch of ships has been obtained, there is no need for the Heilongjiang Fleet to stay in the Soviet Union anymore, so Chen Feng ordered Jiang Haitao to lead half of the navy to go south to Nanyang, while Hu Haibin took the other half of the navy to stay in the Soviet Union , Waiting for the reception of another batch of ships after 2 months. [

At the same time, Chen Feng also sent a report to Tian Haiyang, Liu Shun and others who served in the National Government Navy, ordering them to bid farewell to Admiral Chen Shaokuan immediately, and rush to Nanyang to take charge of the formation of the Yangtze River Fleet. There are already 158 ships, with a gross tonnage of close to 30 tons, which is equivalent to the strength of a squadron of the Japanese Navy, so it is time to integrate all naval resources.
