"And after the national army becomes weaker on the frontal battlefield, it will inevitably cause the Japanese army to adjust the focus of operations again, and then turn more troops to various battlefields behind enemy lines."
"So for the next two years,"
"We're having a hard time too."
For Ding Wei's analysis, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were equally confused.
"How do you say that?" Kong Jie asked puzzled, "In the past, our Chinese family fought against Little Japan. Although the scene was ugly, and we were often beaten up by Xiaoben, we managed to get over it. Now it's finally here. Two helpers, and these two helpers are quite strong, at least they seem to be able to fight, hey, it turned out to be a disaster, how do you say this? I don’t think this makes sense from the point of view?”
"Yeah." Li Yunlong also said, "We can't fight the devils alone, we can still fight [-]-[-], but now we have helpers, but we can't do it, how is it possible?"
"That's right." Kong Jie snorted, "I think Lao Ding overestimated the little devil."
Li Yunlong also said: "Old Ding, you said that the little devil can defeat the Yin Army and Piao Army in a short period of time, and occupy the entire Southeast Asia in a short period of time? I don't believe it, how is it possible."
"You two don't understand anything, I'm too lazy to tell you two."
How could Ding Wei speak against Li Yunlong and the others, so he could only seek support from Wang Ye.
"Xiao Wang, do you think my analysis just now makes sense?" Ding Wei said, "Will the next two years be more difficult than it is now?"
"Yes."
Wang Ye nodded, and said again: "Moreover, it will be even more difficult than what you just said, Captain Ding."
"What?" Now Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were even more surprised. Ding Wei said that, even Xiao Wang said that?
Ding Wei frowned and said, "Xiao Wang, do you have any basis for saying that the situation in the next two years will be more difficult than what I said?"
"Of course there is a basis, because you have overlooked a key factor, Commander Ding." Wang Ye said in a deep voice, "You only thought that the Japanese army would quickly occupy Myanmar and cut off the only transportation channel between China and the outside world, thus reducing the combat effectiveness of the national army. It became weaker and weaker, but you didn't expect what the Japanese army would gain in the process of quickly occupying Southeast Asia?"
"Yes! Understood!" When Wang Ye said this, Ding Wei immediately reacted, slapped his thigh and said, "Southeast Asia is a vast and fertile land. After the Japanese army occupies Southeast Asia, it will take over the beautiful country and the Yin country before it can be transported away. A large amount of supplies and wealth, oh yes, and all the weapons and equipment of the Yin Army and the Beautiful Army will also belong to the Japanese army, so Japan's war potential will also be restored to a large extent."
"It also means, for the next two years,"
"The Japanese government will have the ability to launch larger-scale offensive operations."
"Moreover, these offensive operations of the Japanese army will most likely be used against our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army."
"Xiao Wang, you are right. The situation in the next two years will be much more severe than what I just said. Old Li, Old Kong, I'm afraid we have to prepare for a hard life."
"Really? Is it so serious?" Li Yunlong still didn't believe it.
But soon Li Yunlong said again: "But then again, no matter what you two said is true or not, it is always right to be prepared for a hard life."
Kong Jie said: "To live a hard life is nothing more than stockpiling more supplies."
Li Yunlong said: "All kinds of materials must be stored, in addition to food and ammunition, oh yes, there must also be medicine."
Wang Ye said: "In addition to stockpiling supplies, we also need to train our bodies to be as strong as possible, so that we can have a stronger ability to survive."
"Yes, this is the most important thing."
Li Yunlong said: "It's time for winter training."
Ding Wei said with a smile: "Our new first group and new second group started early."
"I know." Li Yunlong said, "But our independent regiment can't compare with you in this aspect. Many recruits in our independent regiment have just joined the army, and the wounded have just returned from injury. They need to adjust."
While speaking, Old Wang had already brought up a large pot of stewed pork head.
Ding Wei quickly said: "The pig's head meat is here, let's not talk about it, let's drink and drink."
Li Yunlong said: "After eating this meal, I will live a hard life, so I will eat more."
Wang Ye said: "There is also this shochu. After drinking this meal, store it all. When the situation is most difficult in the future, whether it is used to disinfect the wounded or exchanged for food or even ammunition, this is a hard currency, which is better than gold. It’s even easier to use, and we can store as much as we can during this time.”
"No problem." Li Yunlong said.
……
Yunxiu Building is not like this atmosphere at all.
Yunxiu Building has no vigilance, only optimism, only fanatical optimism about the future situation.
"In short, the current situation is very good." Chang Kaishen swung his arm vigorously, and said again, "So we must take advantage of this opportunity to launch a big offensive."
After a pause, he said again: "In order to contain the Japanese army and support friendly countries to fight,"
"It is hereby ordered that all units in the fourth war zone immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army in Guangzhou to cope with the Yin army in Hong Kong."
"The Fifth, Sixth, and No.60 armies assembled from Guangxi and Sichuan to the Yunnan-Burma border respectively, preparing to enter Burma to directly assist the Yin Army in combat."
"The remaining theaters also need to prepare for a counteroffensive."
"When necessary, launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army in front of you, so as to recover the whole country."
Hearing this, the senior generals of the party and the country present and the senior staff in the attendant room were all excited, as if the various theaters of the national army had launched a full-scale counterattack, and the recovery of the whole country was just around the corner.
In fact, it was no wonder Chang Kaishen and these people had such a judgment.
Because in the eyes of Chang Kaishen and these people, foreigners are omnipotent.
Now that foreigners have joined the war, why not hang up the little Japanese and beat them violently?
You must know that in the past few years, Chang Kaishen almost wiped out his old background in the Central Army in the suburbs of Shanghai. In fact, there is only one thing on his mind, and that is that Western countries can intervene.
Chang Kaishen feels that as long as Western countries intervene, it will be enough to ensure that China will not be subjugated.
But now that the Great Yin Empire and the Beautiful Country are directly participating in the war, why not beat Little Japan to death every minute?So the only thing they need to do now is to follow Mr. Yang's ass to pick up the foreign land.
As for Little Japan, he will be beaten so hard that his mother won't recognize him soon.
……
Chang Kaishen's order came to Northwest Shanxi.
"Traveler, good news!" Fang Ligong walked into the war room excitedly.
"Good news?" Chu Yunfei looked away from the map and asked, "What good news?"
Fang Ligong said: "Principal Chang just issued a statement, officially declaring war on the Japanese government!"
"Oh really? Has it finally declared war on the Japanese government?" Chu Yunfei said, "This is indeed good news. The government should have declared war on Japan five years ago."
"It's not too late to declare war on Japan." Fang Ligong smiled, and said, "There is also great news. The government of the Yin Kingdom and the Government of the Piao Kingdom also officially declared war on the Japanese government today."
"Great!" Chu Yunfei was overjoyed when he heard that.
There is no doubt that in Chu Yunfei's view, this is the real good news.
Fang Ligong said: "Lu Zuo, now that we have the Great Yin Empire as a strong support, it will not be difficult to defeat Little Japan. It will take at least three years or even five years. China will definitely win the final victory of the War of Resistance."
"Yin country?" Chu Yunfei said in disbelief, "Yin country may not be able to do much."
"Huh?" Chu Yunfei's judgment was somewhat beyond Fang Ligong's expectations.
Chu Yunfei snorted and said, "I'm really optimistic about the beautiful country!"
"Pretty country?" Fang Ligong said in surprise, "Brother, the army strength of the pretty country is so weak that it can be ignored, and the Dayin Empire is also a superpower today, why are you optimistic about the pretty country instead?"
"The reason is very simple." Chu Yunfei said, "Because the beautiful country has a strong industrial foundation."
"The army can be organized and trained, and those who have no combat experience can go to the battlefield to train again, but there is one thing that cannot be trained no matter how hard it is, that is powerful weapons and equipment."
Chapter 427 Fiasco
"So, Lu Zuo is optimistic about the beautiful country?" Fang Ligong said.
"Yes, I am very optimistic about the beautiful country." Chu Yunfei nodded, and said, "I don't judge the Japanese army's battles with the Yin army in colonies such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Java, and Burma, but in the Philippines, they fought against the beautiful country." The battle of the Japanese army will definitely end in a disastrous defeat, and the beautiful army will teach the Japanese army a cruel lesson."
"Because the equipment of the Japanese army is not at the same level as that of the beautiful army."
"This can be seen from the M1A1 75mm mountain gun equipped by our only brigade."
"The technical parameters of the same type of weapons and equipment of the Japanese army have been crushed by the weapons and equipment of the beautiful country."
"In a word, the Japanese army's experience advantage over the beautiful army is not overwhelming, but the beautiful army's technical advantage over the Japanese army is crushing, so the beautiful army will win the victory without any suspense."
In modern terms, Chu Yunfei is an out-and-out pretty fan.
If he goes back to modern times, he must use an Apple mobile phone and an Apple computer, and drive like a Tesla edamame.
"That's true." Fang Ligong nodded lightly, and said again, "But I think that the Yin army will form a stalemate with the Japanese army in colonies such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Burma, because the Japanese army's battle line is too long and their strength is too low. It's too scattered, and the Yin army is waiting for work at leisure, and its troops also have an absolute advantage."
"So, no matter how bad the final result is, it will be a stalemate."
"Actually, I am more inclined to have a big defeat for the Japanese army."
"Because the Japanese army's ambitions are too great, and people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, so it's him."
Speaking of this, Fang Ligong waved his fist vigorously, as if the Japanese army had been defeated.
Chu Yunfei smiled slightly and said: "In short, for China, it can't be worse than it is now, and there is a high probability that it will switch to counterattack from next year!"
Fang Ligong said: "So what should we do alone?"
"What to do?" Chu Yunfei chuckled, and said in a deep voice, "Take advantage of this winter to continue to strengthen training. If we have not miscalculated, the first wave of counterattack will usher in the beginning of spring!"
At this moment, Chu Yunfei is full of confidence in the counterattack in the coming year.
Fang Ligong was also convinced of this.
……
The Eighth Route Army was not so optimistic.
The chief of staff handed a telegram to the brigade commander and said solemnly: "Brigade commander, this is Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Wang Ye's analysis of the situation in Northwest Shanxi next year."
"Oh?" The brigade commander reached out to take the telegram and read it carefully.
The chief of staff said: "Brigade Commander, I think Ding Wei's analysis makes sense."
"Although the front line of the Japanese army is very long, they have the convenience of sea transportation, and their logistical support is safe."
"Conversely, the logistics supply of the Yin Army and the Beautiful Army is actually even more difficult. As for the combat experience and fighting will, it is even more incomparable."
"So there is almost no suspense in this battle."
"And once the Japanese army can quickly occupy the entire Southeast Asia, the Yin army and the beautiful army will have no time to transfer supplies, so these supplies will definitely fall into the hands of the Japanese army."
"With the large amount of war assets seized, the Japanese government's finances will be greatly improved."
"At least in a short period of time, it can be alleviated to a great extent, which will enable the Japanese government to produce more weapons and equipment, and organize more troops into the Chinese battlefield."
"However, in the Chinese battlefield, the national army will become weaker."
"As the national army becomes weaker, the Japanese army can draw more troops to deal with us."
When it came to the end, the chief of staff had become worried, and said: "Brigade Commander, I'm afraid we are going to be in big trouble."
The brigade commander finished reading it quickly, and sighed: "This is not only an analysis of the situation in Northwest Shanxi, it is also applicable to the entire Shanxi and even the entire North China."
After a pause, he added: "Not only their three regiments, but our entire [-]th Brigade, the entire [-]th Division, and even the entire Eighteenth Army must be prepared for a hard life."
The Chief of Staff said: "Brigade Commander, should you issue orders to the divisions and main regiments?"
"Let's issue it." The brigade commander said, "From now on, step up the stockpiling of supplies."
The chief of staff immediately drafted an order, and after the brigade commander approved and signed it, he got a few staff officers to copy it into several copies, and distributed them to the divisions and main regiments under the Taiyue Military Region.
……
The national army has no such sense of urgency at all.
There is even an illusion that victory is in sight in Chongqing, the accompanying capital.
The New Year's Eve of 31 quietly passed away amidst the drunken dreams of senior party and state generals and dignitaries, and time soon entered the first month of the [-]st year of the Republic of China.
In [-], the catastrophe in Henan had entered its third year.
Floods first, then droughts, and then locust plagues, the whole of Henan has already been devastated for thousands of miles.
However, the Nationalist Government did not intend to reduce or exempt Henan Province's public grain at all. Tang Enbo, who had a [-] army in his hand, stepped up and ordered the army to cruelly collect military grain from the victims.
The people in Henan began to flee, mainly to Guanzhong.
Many people also fled to Shanxi and southeast Shanxi.
Sadly, almost no one pays attention to them except the victims themselves.
Because another major event that happened at the same time attracted the attention of the whole world. This major event was the Japanese army's offensive against Southeast Asia.
The Japanese offensive can only be described by the idiom that the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves.
From the launch of the offensive on December [-], [-], to March [-], in less than four months, it swept across almost the entire Southeast Asia, and the Piaoyin coalition forces were defeated.
