Zhao Gang's face was also full of smiles. He had not expected that in just two months, his own strength had nearly tripled, which made him feel very confident. He had almost become a prisoner of Yamamoto Ikki before, and he felt very aggrieved in his heart. Now that he had the opportunity to take revenge, Zhao Gang certainly did not want to miss it.
"College student, I suggest that if we attack first, we should attack Ping'an County, and then use Ping'an County as a material transfer station to launch an offensive against Shuiquan County, and finally aim directly at the Shuiquan Oilfield."
"The main force of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army was intercepted by the Japanese in Gu County, and has not made any progress so far. It is simply impossible to expect the main force of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army to capture the Shuiquan Oilfield in a short period of time. We can only rely on our own strength now. Fortunately, in order to deal with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, the Japanese have dispatched a large number of troops to the Gu County area. The Japanese soldiers deployed near the Shuiquan Oilfield are only three brigades, with a total strength of about 20,000 people."
"With our current strength, we can easily take over Shuiquan Oilfield by sending out three main regiments! Before, I was worried that we had too many new recruits and the casualties would be very high, but now the situation is very different. After fully replacing our equipment with new ones, our combat effectiveness is incomparable to the past. As long as the Japanese are not made of copper or iron, they will definitely not be able to withstand our fierce attack with their defensive fortifications."
"In order to prevent the Japanese from blowing up the fighter planes we had worked so hard to produce, the college students asked the arsenals to only produce aircraft parts and assemble them at night. This played a crucial role in restoring our air force."
"Especially in the past month, all of our anti-aircraft artillery groups have been put into use, so the Japanese night bombings have not achieved much results, not to mention that we now have four fighter squadrons that are close to full strength and are fully capable of protecting the safety of our skies."
"I, Zhao Gang, am also a person who holds grudges. The Japanese have made us feel aggrieved for so long and have suppressed us for so long. It is time for us to take revenge. I think the action of attacking Ping'an County should be started sooner rather than later. The time is set as September 9th. This day is very suitable."
Ding Wei was the first to stand up and support, saying, "I, Ding Wei, bear a huge responsibility for what happened last time. We have to avenge the soldiers of the guard company. Now that we have the strength to do so, we cannot delay. The current opportunity is very favorable for us. We must take over the Shuiquan Oilfield before the autumn harvest. After winter, we can fight a defensive battle with the devils. Next spring, we can counterattack Taiyuan City. We won't have to worry about counter-mopping-up operations anymore."
"The college students have said before that it will take a year to wipe out the Japanese 12th Army, and then another year to fight to the Northeast, wipe out the Japanese Kwantung Army, and then fight from north to south. The college students' strategy is very clear, which is to take over the industrial base in the Northeast first, and then launch a comprehensive counterattack! The implementation of this plan has a great chance of success. As long as we expand step by step, the situation will change dramatically within two or three years."
Kong Jie slammed the pencil in his hand on the table and echoed excitedly: "The college student has already made it very clear before. There is really no need for us to have any entanglement. Let's attack Ping'an County first and eat up all the damn Aoki Division first."
"The arrangements for the disaster victims will be handed over to Lao Zhao. Now we have only about 30 disaster victims left to be resettled. I estimate that after we receive these disaster victims, there will be no more disaster victims coming to our base for a long time. The population of our base has reached 260 million. After receiving more than 30 disaster victims, the population should be around 300 million. After a year, it will be absolutely no problem to expand the force to 10 to 15."
"As long as our military production capacity can keep up, and we still have medicines, the golden goose that lays golden eggs, which constantly exchange for food and raw materials for us, we really don't need to be afraid of the Japanese in a war of attrition!"
Xing Zhiguo has been in charge of the military training at the base, and he has quite a bit of experience in this area. The base now has a total of six training grounds, which makes the training of new recruits progress very quickly. It only takes two months to complete the training of new recruits, which is 30% faster than before.
"The training of college students and new soldiers is going very smoothly now. We started driving training two months ago. Each soldier has to go through a five-day driving course. We have trained nearly 6000 drivers, which is enough to meet the current needs."
"In terms of troop transport, we now use armored transport and three-wheeled motorcycle transport, among which three-wheeled motorcycle transport occupies a dominant position. We now have nearly 7000 three-wheeled motorcycles in our base. It must be said that after having a semi-automatic cylinder production line, the production of three-wheeled motorcycles is not a difficult problem."
"Although our three-wheeled motorcycles are somewhat crudely made and have only been in stable operation for 300 hours, they are fully capable of meeting our current needs. Especially after the adoption of modular production and assembly, vehicle maintenance has become very simple, and a major overhaul can be completed in half an hour at most."
"With our current strength, it will be no problem for us to take over Ping'an County. College student, just issue the combat mission! If I didn't have the task of training new recruits, I would definitely follow the main force to fight together!"
Lin Zhenhua knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention, and ordered with a serious face: "I declare the Shuiquan Operation officially started. Our first goal is to attack Ping'an County. A total of three or four regiments will be dispatched for this battle. The Independent Regiment and the Armored Regiment will be responsible for the main attack, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment will be responsible for the reinforcement, and the Air Force Regiment will be ready to provide support at any time."
"I will concurrently serve as the commander of the armored regiment, and Li Yunlong will concurrently serve as the deputy commander. I will concurrently serve as the commander of the air force regiment, and Gao Yuanhang will concurrently serve as the deputy commander of the air force regiment. The launch date of the campaign is set for September 9, and all units must arrive at the designated location before September 8."
"Li Yunlong will be responsible for drafting the battle plan. After it is approved by the headquarters, it will be issued at 8 a.m. tomorrow. The affairs of the base will be handed over to Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo. Zhao Gang will be responsible for the overall situation, and Xing Zhiguo will be responsible for training troops and protecting the base!"
"Old Li, please contact Chu Yunfei and ask him what he thinks. See if he is willing to join us in attacking Ping'an County?"
At the same time, Niujiagou, more than 300 miles away, was also very restless. The main force of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army was unable to capture the county seat of Guxian, resulting in the original combat objectives being impossible to achieve. The long-term confrontation brought huge troubles to the main force of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, which made Chu Yunfei, who was in the situation, anxious.
"Brother Ligong, the current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. If we cannot break the deadlock in a short period of time, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and our 358th Regiment will be in danger."
"The strength of the Japanese 12th Army is expanding too fast. The total strength has reached nearly 17, with 362 aircraft of various types. Our Shanxi Suiyuan Army now has only a little over 16 at most. It is simply a pipe dream to want to challenge the Japanese th Army to compete with it."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this counterattack has failed. We have completely lost the best opportunity. I have persuaded the old commander twice to stop attacking Guxian County and withdraw to the original station. But the old commander did not listen to my advice. In addition, Shancheng also issued a death order, requiring that the Japanese Shuiquan Oilfield be destroyed at all costs."
"Ever since the Japanese started to extract oil from the Shuiquan Oilfield, they have been bombing Shancheng non-stop, posing a huge threat to the residents of Shancheng. Not to mention that the Allied forces are now losing ground and are in urgent need of a victory to inspire people. For this reason, Shancheng has tried every means to mobilize a batch of transport planes to replenish weapons and equipment for our Jinsui Army."
"The old commander has decided to launch another attack on Guxian County on September 9. No matter how great the cost, the Shuiquan Oilfield must be destroyed. We can only execute the old commander's orders. I had to ask Li Yunlong for help, but Li Yunlong did not give an accurate answer. With only more than 16 soldiers of my 358th Regiment, we cannot change the current situation at all." Chu Yunfei said with a worried look on his face.
Fang Ligong was about to speak when the telegraph operator hurried in and reported excitedly, "Commander, I just received a call from Li Yunlong, the commander of the independent regiment. He told us that they will launch a combat operation in Shuiquan Oilfield in the near future. The first target is Ping'an County. He asked us to keep it strictly confidential and asked if we are willing to attack Ping'an County with them?"
Chu Yunfei took the telegram from the telegraph operator, read it carefully from beginning to end, and after confirming that there was no problem with the content of the telegram, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing the news that Li Yunlong was going to attack Ping'an County, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong also became very excited. He said excitedly, "Captain Chu, it seems that Li Yunlong and his men have almost recovered their strength. They must have prepared everything, otherwise they wouldn't have taken action at this time. I didn't expect them to be so patient. They waited for two full months before preparing to take action against the devils. It's all this patience and energy that really makes people admire them!"
"We must not miss the battle to attack Ping'an County. We can learn from Li Yunlong and learn how to use armored forces. I always feel that there is something wrong with the tactics we used before!"
