Chapter 208
"It's not far from Ji'nan to Ludi."
Upon hearing this, the deputy chief of staff responded with a smile.
"Why don't you go there yourself? It's not far from their military headquarters anyway."
After saying that, everyone around laughed.
Then, the deputy chief of staff said seriously.
"Currently, the Taihang Arsenal's production is still on the rise. Previously, the gun barrels assembled were all purchased from the north."
"Zeng Jiwen has already sent people to the military factory to instruct the people there to start trying their hand at self-production."
"Once we achieve a technological breakthrough, we won't be able to use large heavy artillery, but as long as the raw materials are available, the Eighth Route Army will be able to mass-produce artillery below 100mm."
After saying this, I was suddenly filled with emotion.
After all, at this time last year, the General Command had gathered 12 artillery pieces of 70mm or larger as a facade. Now, in less than a year, the various troops under it have begun to form their own artillery regiments.
For our team, we thought it would take a long time before we could see this day.
After everyone finished talking about this, they continued to analyze the garrison situation of various Japanese troops according to the enemy and friendly situation distribution map of the Tainan Military Region.
At present, the main forces of the Tainan Military Region are concentrated in the Pinghan Road area in western Hebei.
According to the previous plan of the General Command, this time the Tainan Military Region not only blocked the Japanese 5th and 14th Divisions from going north to reinforce Shijiazhuang, but also took precautions against cavalry brigades that might be patrolling in Tianjin and Shandong areas.
At the same time, the Pinghan Line was cut off to support the war in the south.
At this time, the war in the south surrounding the three towns of Wuhan began to become increasingly intense.
Now supplies from Northeast China and Japan are being continuously transported to the Japanese army in Wuhan through two routes.
At the same time, the Japanese army unexpectedly launched a three-front war.
The battle in Wuhan had not yet ended, and the Japanese army landed from the south, attempting to attack the National Army from Hunan.
It can be said that the Japanese army's material consumption reached a peak at this time.
If the Pinghan Line is cut off at this time, supplies from the Northeast cannot be transported to the South in time, and the South will continue to consume the strength of the Japanese army.
After all, everyone with a discerning eye can now see that if the Japanese army cannot win this battle cleanly and efficiently, it will be stuck in the quagmire of the Chinese battlefield.
Now many countries have different opinions on the Japanese army.
While the general command and others were analyzing the overall situation, Zeng Jiwen and others from the Tainan Military Region were also busy.
After learning that the Japanese army in North China had begun to mobilize most of its troops to the outskirts of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area.
Zeng Jiwen and others instantly perked up.
At present, all combat troops have arrived at the designated combat area, and only the military district headquarters can issue combat orders.
Now, it depends on which troop moves first.
Judging from the current situation around the Tainan Military Region, the troops in the Shijiazhuang area will definitely be the last to be dispatched.
Now, we have to consider whether to attract the Japanese troops in Taiyuan first to prevent them from acting rashly, or the 108th Division on the Zhengtai Line, or the area in western Hebei.
At present, Huang Hanjia and Deng Xie have gone to the Seventh District to coordinate and familiarize themselves with the running-in of the two forces.
Wu Lin also went to the southern Hebei region to command the war in the southern Hebei area.
Liu Ming, Cai Xu and Zhu Guosheng are now responsible for coordinating with the border government organization and coordinating with the local militia with the main force.
The entire military district headquarters now consists of only three people: Zeng Jiwen, Zhou Shi and Wang Zhuo.
Zeng Jiwen sat at the table, looking at three different combat areas, wondering which side's troops would make the Japanese army move first.
At this time, Political Commissar Zhou Shi suddenly said.
"Lao Zeng, I think we should first send the 14th Division to reinforce Anyang from the southern Hebei area according to the previous plan."
"The 50th Regiment of the 14th Division is currently stationed in Anyang. The rest of the division's main forces are in Handan."
"I think we can use Anyang to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements."
