Chapter 160 Huanghe's Post-War Summary
Two days after the deputy commander announced the official end of the first phase of the raid, the three main forces at all levels gradually withdrew to the safe base.
It was nine o'clock in the morning on the 29th.
At this time, Huang He was eating breakfast in the cafeteria. Zhang Wanhe, who was sitting next to him, was talking about what he had seen and heard recently.
There was a circle of comrades from the logistics department holding their breath, and everyone listened attentively. Whenever they talked about thrilling places, they would cause bursts of exclamations.
Suddenly, Wang Dexing broke in.
This rash move scared everyone. Just when Zhang Wanhe was about to say a few words, he suddenly saw the folder in the other party's hand.
The nearly 40-year-old logistics minister burst out with amazing speed. He jumped up from the stool and rushed to Wang Dexing.
Then he grabbed the folder and opened it, carefully reading the contents of each page.
Seeing that the minister who had always been steady seemed to have changed into a different person, everyone vaguely guessed the content of the document.
Two minutes later, Zhang Wanhe slapped his thigh excitedly. When he raised his head, everyone saw the tears in their minister's eyes.
"Comrades! The first phase of the Hundred Regiments Campaign! We have achieved a great victory!"
After hearing this, the cafeteria burst into warm applause and cheers. Everyone hugged each other and everyone shed tears of excitement.
Before Huang He returned to the base, the logistics department was under great pressure.
As a department that supplies all kinds of military supplies to the frontline soldiers, the comrades always feel guilty about the lack of production capacity.
But now everything has changed. The logistics department can not only raise livestock to improve the food for the troops, but also produce all kinds of new weapons.
Everything is moving in a good direction, and everyone is full of expectations for life.
Everyone in the cafeteria stood up at the same time. They applauded Huang He together and expressed their respect for the most selfless deputy minister in the department.
Huang He stood up with a smile and saluted everyone.
"Victory belongs to each of us, comrades are all great!"
————————
After separating from the enthusiastic comrades, Huang He trotted back to the laboratory. He closed the door and sat at the desk, opened the folder and started reading from the beginning.
Compared with the Hundred Regiments Campaign in his memory, the first phase has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In terms of time alone, the first phase in the original history took a full twenty days, and the key task of the first ten days was to destroy the enemy's transportation lines and destroy the Zhengtai Road.
But after the operation began, the progress of the troops at all levels was a bit slow compared to the expected progress, and a lot of time was spent on attacking.
After all, the equipment and ammunition of the Eighth Route Army were seriously insufficient in history. From 1937 to the Hundred Regiments Campaign, they fought with the enemy for almost three years, and the total number of bullets consumed by the entire army did not exceed 15 million.
This also includes the reloaded bullets and the part of preserved fruit issued during the Kuhaha period.
In addition, there was a lack of heavy weapons that could destroy artillery towers and bunkers, which led to the large-scale battles such as Niangziguan, Jingxing Coal Mine, and Lion Head Mountain being fought very fiercely, and even every inch of the front line required comrades to pay the price of their lives.
But now is different from the past.
With the full-capacity production of military factories and logistics arsenals within the system, the three main forces have become the French-equipped Eighth Route Army that Huang He has always dreamed of.
In order to kill the fear of insufficient firepower that has already shown some signs.
For the first phase of the raid plan alone, Huang He prepared 10 million rounds of 7.5x54mm and 5 million rounds of Japanese and German bullets for the troops.
This makes the three main infantrymen have an astonishing 150 rounds of rifle ammunition per person. Without counting the weapons, the weight of the bullets alone is about 3.5 kilograms.
If the comrades in the logistics department had not produced new carrying equipment, the soldiers of the front-line troops would not even be convenient to carry.
This level has surpassed the current Xiao Ri Zi and San De Zi infantry, and can even be compared with the ugly country that participated in the war later.
You must know that the M1 Garand used by the ugly country men is a semi-automatic rifle.
Compared with the MAS-36 human semi-automatic used by the Eighth Route Army, that thing consumes more bullets.
With sufficient ammunition and new weapons, the main force does not need to be restrained when performing tasks.
This led to the fact that most of the hard bones that were originally difficult to chew in history were done by the soldiers on the night of the 20th.
Even after the first phase of the raid, most of the troops have begun to change their combat methods.
Not only has the ability to attack been greatly enhanced, but they have also gained experience in encounter and positional warfare.
As for the last ten days of the first phase in history, it was originally the three main forces that responded to the enemy's counterattack.
Because the Eighth Route Army kept it strictly confidential beforehand, the devils knew almost nothing about the major military deployment of the troops.
This led to the interruption of their communications from the 20th to the 22nd, and they were in chaos.
But after the 23rd, the devils woke up.
Swordsmanship master Shinozuka Yoshio felt like he was stabbed in the heart by a knife, and realized that this was a fatal blow, and immediately tried to rescue Zhengtai Road.
But the problem came, the three independent mixed brigades of the First Army had been defeated one by one, and they were in a dilemma with no soldiers available.
Shinozuka Yoshio's main force, the three Type B divisions, were still placed near Zhongtiao Mountain.
By the time the Japanese support troops arrived at the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army had already begun to retreat.
Although the Japanese caused some trouble to the troops during those ten days, it was still acceptable compared to the results achieved.
Now it's even better. The three main forces directly skipped the step of dealing with the Japanese counterattack and achieved the goal of the first stage in just nine days.
Because the troops attacked and broke through the attack too quickly, the main force of the Japanese in the North China Front Army did not react at all.
The enemy's support troops were directly empty-handed, and when they arrived at the battlefield, the troops at all levels had already evacuated in an orderly manner.
However, after reading all the battle reports, Huang He was very dissatisfied with himself. He now regrets that he didn't have time to practice his shooting skills after arriving in the world of Bright Sword.
If Makarov's transport team could be safely and effectively supported at that time, it would not have wasted a few days in the headquarters hospital in vain.
If the system could be activated earlier at the logistics department, it is likely that the troops could be equipped with a small amount of heavy weapons in the first stage of the Hundred Regiments Campaign.
For example, the battle report mentioned that the 110th Division of the Japanese sent a group of light armored vehicles and a battalion of infantry to Jingxing for reinforcement.
If it weren't for the fast speed of the destruction work at Jingxing Coal Mine, Ding Wei's New 1st Regiment would definitely suffer a great loss, after all, they have almost no anti-armor capability.
But if there were a few SA34s, it would be different. As long as they were properly operated and the positions were well chosen, the light armored vehicles of the 110th Division would be killed as many as they came.
And the planes of the Japanese North China Front Army were also a big problem.
Although most of the bombers were transferred to the southwest, the remaining fighters alone could cause a lot of trouble to the base.
When Huang He saw Li Yunlong transformed into a superman of the Eighth Route Army, he didn't know what to say.
There are many people who have the courage to do this, but there are not many people who can shoot down a plane without any harm.
If each unit can be equipped with a certain amount of anti-aircraft guns, and even the Eighth Route Army can have fighters, then the problem will naturally be solved.
Huang He glanced at the decision tree in the system, then glanced at the folder in his hand, and then said to himself with some melancholy: "There is a long way to go."
But soon there were exciting results that made Huang He laugh again, such as the casualties of both sides.
Compared with the original history, this was a shock to Tada Shun for a whole year.
In Huang He's memory, the first phase of the Hundred Regiments Campaign lasted for a full twenty days, with a total of 265 battles of varying sizes, 91 Japanese and puppet army strongholds captured, and more than 6,000 enemies annihilated.
This time, the Eighth Route Army updated its weapons and equipment from head to toe, and its combat effectiveness was much more fierce than before.
Although it only lasted nine days, the number of battles was as high as 437, and the number of strongholds captured reached 132.
The number of enemies annihilated doubled to 13,000, and even Li Yunlong's New Second Regiment and Ding Wei's New First Regiment each killed a Japanese major general.
What is rare and precious is that the casualties of this raid are acceptable.
In history, the Eighth Route Army suffered a lot of losses, with casualties as high as 4,200, and more than 1,600 people were poisoned.
The data reported now made Huang He smile from the bottom of his heart.
The number of casualties was less than 2,000, mainly because Katayama Shotaro launched a mad dog-like attack at the beginning, causing the 385 to suffer a double attack from mountain artillery and fighter planes.
The number of poisoned people was 137, which was in sharp contrast to the original more than 1,600, and this was because some soldiers did not use gas masks according to regulations.
Moreover, this raid was not just spending money without making money. The harvest in the first phase was also good, which was a pleasant surprise for Huanghe.
In the preparation stage of the battle, the headquarters issued a slogan of "three no-leaving" to troops at all levels, requiring not to leave a single rail, not to leave a single sleeper, and not to leave a single bridge.
Later, the local troops and militia who cooperated with the main force added not to leave a single tunnel and not to leave a single electric pole on the original basis.
The soldiers strictly implemented the requirements of the headquarters and collected various materials during the battle. These materials can free up the production capacity of a civilian factory for Huanghe.
Even if these messy things, the military factories in the system cannot use them.
But after getting the logistics department's arsenal, the comrades can completely reuse it and make a certain number of rifles and light machine guns.
After reading the information in the entire folder, Huang He stood up and came to the window. He looked at the busy crowd outside and said from the bottom of his heart: "It's really good now, and it will be better tomorrow."
——————————
The whole day after that, Huang He devoted himself to theoretical study.
On May 20th, he got a full set of information on Katyusha rocket launchers and V2 rockets and part of the information from the 401st Institute.
The people in the laboratory have been studying these things for more than three months. Except for the knowledge of atomic energy, which is a bit difficult, the various difficulties of the two rockets have almost been overcome by them.
As long as there are enough materials and equipment, Huang He is confident that he can take some researchers to make all those big treasures and guide the relevant knowledge.
"Dongfeng, Julang, Yingji, Hongqi, Hongjian, Hongying, Qianwei, Pili, Haiying, how nice it sounds."
This made Huang He a little inflated, and even wanted to bring some Mr. Qian back to China in advance.
However, after calming down, he gave up the idea. After all, the current environment was not suitable, and even Jin Province and Henan Province had not been taken back yet.
Just when he had sorted out all the information and was about to put it back on the bookshelf, the system in his mind suddenly became active.
"Ding! The host has new trait bonuses, please check them in time."
This voice made Huang He a little puzzled, because he already had the trait.
The last time the brigade commander came to the Logistics Department to pick up artillery and send him a letter of appointment, there was already an additional "war industrialist."
Is it possible that the consultant traits in the Awakening Brave Tiger system can be superimposed? Huang He was a little excited when he thought of this. After all, the bonus of any trait was very powerful.
At this stage, both "technocrats" and "captains of industry" are rare terms.
The reason why I like "Industrial Leader" is because this trait has the bonus of an oil refinery, even though the Eighth Route Army does not yet have armored units and aircraft.
However, the aircraft is the next stage of Huanghe’s preparations. By then, it is highly likely that the production capacity of private factories in the system will not be enough to replace oil.
What's more, there is an extension oil in the rear area, so we can't just leave the treasure unused.
The crude oil storage capacity there is ridiculously large. If it is developed well, it will definitely envy Santoku and Xiaoli.
The reason why I like "Technocrat" is because this trait increases the speed of scientific research. Although this bonus is somewhat different from that in the game, it cannot immediately shorten the time to unlock scientific research projects.
But after Huang He's exploration, he found that it will take effect when the scientific research speed reaches 20%, which is a solid accumulation.
After 43 years, the development speed of the base area will reach a new level.
Just when he was about to open the system, a somewhat outrageous possibility suddenly appeared in his mind. This made Huang He couldn't help laughing. He touched his chin and said to himself:
"It can't be a "terrible giant". If you get this trait, Kang SIR will come from the rear and kill me."
Putting away all kinds of conjectures, Huang He opened the system interface to check. He found that in the character interface, his photo was beating crazily, as if calling him.
After concentrating on clicking on his profile picture, Huang He found that he seemed to have something special.
"Theorist: Yellow River
Rocket Scientist: When the rocket launch base is unlocked in the system, the speed of producing strategic missiles is +15%
Core science enthusiasts: When an apple tree is planted, the core production speed is +15%."
These two items directly made Huang He jump up with joy.
The reason why I just ignored the possibility of theorists is because the red forces in the original game did not have these two related characters, only theorists on land, sea and air.
After all, both rockets and nuclear weapons were things after 1949.
But now that he has these two qualities, he is completely confident that he can befriend Miss Qiu before Chou Country creates fat and thin brothers and little boys.
