I really came here to fight against Japan

Song Wenwan: "Because the range of the plane is not enough, if we take off from Kenanpo.

The only option is to refuel the plane in Jilin, and then fly to Japan via the Korean Peninsula.

This would easily expose our location in the Northeast.

The comrades in the Northeast, whose vitality they had finally recovered, could easily be exhausted by the Japanese invaders.

Another thing is that they had just had a fight two years ago.

I guess they won't do anything again this time, so just put the blame on Britain and the United States and let them fight each other.

Later, the New 1st Regiment assisted Ding Wei and wiped out the Yamazaki Battalion that had escaped into the base in the Laojiapo area.

In August last year, in cooperation with the Eighth Route Army, a large-scale raiding operation was launched in North China.

In September, a flying division was dispatched from the temporary capital to cooperate with the temporary capital's air force to completely annihilate the invading Japanese air force.

Everyone knows what happened next. I went to Yunling at the request of the Red Northern Shaanxi.

Secretly cooperate with the Iron Army headquarters to break out, and let the army commander build a guard division. "

"Wow..." applause broke out.

Song Wenwan quickly saluted each of the CEOs and expressed her gratitude for their applause.

“Now let me talk about the current development of our 46th Army.

Of course, the data provided by many troops may not be very accurate.

They didn't know who they learned from when they reported to the army headquarters.

They either kept it a secret or concealed it, for fear that I would ask them for favors.

As soon as he finished speaking, the usually serious deputy commander-in-chief actually burst into laughter.

The deputy commander saw that everyone was looking at him and immediately began to explain to everyone.

"You all know that when we first arrived in Shanxi, all the spoils of war had to be sent to the headquarters first.

In order to better develop the armed forces in various places, if any group has more people.

We will also send capable comrades out to establish new groups and develop new bases.

In this case, it would be like that brat Li Yunlong, who either underreported the spoils or concealed the number of people.

Later, more and more guerrilla divisions came to cross-learn with our Eighth Route Army.

Over time, these bad habits of his were communicated to Commander Xiao Song."

Song Wenwan: “For example, our Army Guard Division is the Jiangnan Third Militia Division that has changed into military uniforms.

As a result, it returned to our party’s system this month, which is really great.

More than 23,000 soldiers left a division, leaving more than 18,000 soldiers.

Anyone who looks at it can't find any flaws, and they will say that my troops are not collecting idle salaries.

No matter how you look at the Third Militia Division, it is definitely overstaffed.

Unlike the Nationalist Army, there are only a few divisions with more than 10,000 soldiers, and they are all empty-handed. "

"Now let me first talk about the troops in Jiangnan, where there were originally six militia divisions.

Everyone knows the Third Militia Division, which still has more than 18,000 people.

No actual numbers of the other five Jiangnan militia divisions were reported.

If we go by the standards of the Third Division, the troops of the other five divisions should have similar numbers.

Including Guan Zhan’s Jiangnan Militia Command, oh yes, his command also has a guard brigade directly under its command.

All in all, Guan Zhan should have... 250,000 troops under his command?

The current Capital Marine Division and the Sichuan Army Youth Division are all under his jurisdiction.

Of course, please rest assured, leaders.

This militia division in Jiangnan is also under the leadership of our party and is ready to obey the orders of northern Shaanxi at any time. "

A leader said: "Hiss, they already have 300,000 troops.

It has only been a few years, and our party's military strength south of the Yangtze River has already been restored to its original state."

Another leader said: "That's not all, what if we add our New Fourth Army?

The total number of troops we have left in Jiangnan is nearly 450,000."

Song Wenwan: "And the gun ownership rate of our Jiangnan militia division is also very high.

In addition to being equipped with the Type 38 rifle, they also had a large number of submachine gunners and Browning heavy machine guns.

This allows their troops' light and heavy firepower to completely suppress Japanese troops of equal strength."

"I am here to report to the leaders on the development of North China.

The first thing I would like to report to all the leaders is the situation in Chahar.

There is our Gannan 1st Cavalry Division, which has grown to 30,000 people.

Another one is the Sixth Guerrilla Division of Gannan. They are close to the grassland, so it is not easy to recruit soldiers.

Therefore, the number of troops they currently control can only be maintained at around 30,000.

Wu Longcheng in Henan is very good. Not only is he a good fighter, he also has a sense of the overall situation.

His base in Jiaozuo also developed, and its regular field troops had reached about 60,000.

After the North China raid began, due to the needs of the Shanxi battlefield, he directly sent a brigade into Shanxi to fight.

Finally, this brigade was reinforced by the Eighth Route Army.

The Second Independent Brigade of East Shanxi was established, and Wu Longcheng had no complaints at all.

Now the Wu Longcheng troops in the Jiaozuo area of ​​Henan, including the local security forces, can still have 50,000 people.

In the 7th Gannan Guerrilla Division in Hebei, he and Wang Bidada were together.

One of his divisions now has almost two armies, totaling 50,000 troops.

Under their one guerrilla division, there are already four guerrilla columns.

Under each guerrilla column is a detachment, and under the detachment are the regiment-level units.

Leaders, listen, according to his organization, can 50,000 people support it?

He is planning to set up a Jin-Cha-Ji Army Group in North China."

Several leaders looked at each other in confusion. The situation of the Seventh Division was special.

This means that it has developed into four divisions and eight brigades, plus the directly affiliated troops, it is estimated that there are no more than 80,000 people.

A leader said: "After all, we don't know the actual situation there, so let's just give them 60,000."

Song Wenwan: "Okay, let's give them 60,000.

Now let’s talk about the development of the Eighth Guerrilla Division in Shandong.

The Shandong Peninsula is too close to the sea, and their development has been affected by the terrain.

The Japanese troops were supported by the naval forces, which prevented them from developing.

Now we can only maintain the size of about 30,000 troops."

A leader asked: "The Japanese over there are indeed very rampant.

They used their navy to carry out continuous raids on our Eighth Route Army.

What do you think, Commander Song, about the war situation on the Shandong Peninsula?

Do you have any ideas on how to deal with them?"

Song Wenwan: "After the Spring Festival, I plan to send a special company of the Gannan Navy to go to sea.

General Chen Shaokuan of the navy had long complained about his navy's inability to go to sea, so this time he let his navy test the waters.

Now, excluding Shanxi, we have a total of... 200,000 infantrymen in North and Central China?"

This number made Song Wenwan scratch his head, because he usually didn't have time to take stock.

All of a sudden, there is one for 200,000 on the left and one for 200,000 on the right, and the total amount is almost 500,000.

In the conference room now, everyone except the military chief is still in a state of surprise.

The other leaders in northern Shaanxi, having experienced this kind of "shock" from Song Wenwan, had long since gotten used to it.

Song Wenwan said: "These are the summary of our military strength in the anti-Japanese battlefield outside Shanxi.

Now let me talk about the development of our Gannan guerrilla division in the anti-Japanese battlefield in Shanxi."
