Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

In addition to the open ceasefire negotiations, Liao Fei also brought new information that needed to be communicated with Ding Wei himself.

Zhong Zhicheng came forward first and discussed with Liao Fei the issue of exchanging rice and flour for airplanes.

By the way, we will also exchange a few Japanese technicians and provide them to the Eighth Route Army.

Liao Fei had a list of names in his hand, which included Japanese expatriates. These people had moved to the Northeast region a long time ago and were working in factories as skilled workers.

They have some feelings for this place, so it is easy for them to stay and be incorporated into our military factory.

They are all skilled workers and there is no military involvement.

This is a relatively important asset, which can allow the Eighth Route Army's personnel behind enemy lines to try to contact

The most valuable thing in Northeast China is definitely its industrial foundation, followed by these technical jobs that can fill in industrial gaps.

If we want to transform from an agricultural country to an industrial country, we need national strength, technology, and human resources reserves.

Obviously, none of these three points are true. Winning over Japanese technicians and technical personnel among the Japanese are undoubtedly more important than one or two cannons.

Liao Fei's military rank was not high, but he was able to provide a technical team of 10 people to help solve the artillery steel problem.

There are already arsenals of the Eighth Route Army in Datong, Taiyuan, Wucheng and even Shandong that can manufacture bullets and artillery shells, as well as grenade launchers and mortars.

The arsenal can also manufacture artillery. Manufacturing technology is not a problem. The only headache is the gun steel material.

Mortars, grenade launchers and the like have low chamber pressure and can be made of ordinary steel, so the performance difference is not that big.

Mortars like the 50 and 60 can be rolled into tubes with steel plates and welded before being fired. At most, their quality is poor, and their lifespan and range are relatively low.

81/82mm mortar, can use seamless steel pipe.

Large-caliber mortars and artillery require barrel blanks, which are then drilled, rifled, and the outer barrel cut using machine tools.

The technical problems of gun steel can also be solved. The key point is the lack of large-scale alloy steel production equipment and the lack of the ability to produce large billets.

In short, the quality of steel and production equipment restrict the production of artillery. Carbon steel can also produce artillery, but its range is short and its life is low, which is not suitable for large-scale combat.

In any case, the technical team that Liao Fei dug out from the Japanese arsenal can empower the military factories in the rear.

There is no doubt about this, it is worth spending any amount of rice and flour.

Technical personnel are the most scarce resource.

There was no need for Ding Wei to step forward. Zhong Zhicheng dared to slam the table and replace these people, using 1000 tons of grain to exchange for a technical team.

I was thinking in my heart that this little Japanese guy is quite nice.

The call was made from Tongliao to Baichengzi. Ding Wei was working in Baichengzi at the time, closely monitoring the reorganization of Zhou Weiguo's Armored Division.

Upon learning that Takahashi Hiroshi had arrived, not many people in the military region knew his identity, so they specially arranged a car and rushed back from Baichengzi overnight.

Still a private meeting.

"Comrade Liao Fei, your information is crucial. I was having a headache over this matter, and you solved it all."

Liao Fei counted the locations of the main power plants, steel mills, military factories, chemical plants, and large warehouses in the Kwantung Army. Once Ding Wei had the opportunity to advance with heavy troops, he could occupy these places first.

To be honest, occupying a few county towns and rural areas does not make much sense. If we can quickly take over the most important industrial base of Manchukuo, it will be worth it even if we have hundreds of tanks.

These equipment and technicians can quickly resume production and provide the Eighth Route Army with firearms, bullets and artillery shells.

"Commander Ding, last time you reminded me of the information about the Far Eastern Army's deployment to the Northeast, excuse me, where did it come from?"

Where are you from?

Is it okay to come from the mind of a person who travels through time? The Far East Army will launch an offensive in August. This is inevitable. Even if there are unexpected changes, there will not be much change.

This involves the character of the Soviets. After fighting in Europe and becoming extremely poor, they would definitely take some spoils from Manchuria.

Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops, a large number of industrial facilities, and the supplies of the entire region were all things that made the father jealous.

What's more, there are corresponding Far East rights and interests in Outer Mongolia and ports.

Based on this, the Far Eastern Army will inevitably send troops to the Northeast.

As for the exact time in August, no one can tell it clearly except Ding Wei.

I guess even the Americans and Russians may not have an accurate plan.

After the Japanese surrender, the Far East Army sent troops to the Northeast. He could pat his chest and guarantee it, and let Liao Fei publicize it, even in July, or even June.

The European battlefield will soon end, and the strategy of Europe first and Asia later will make the Soviet Union and the Eagle Sauce unable to take care of the Far East. After the fruits over there are divided, they will definitely turn around to deal with the Japanese.

Put pressure on them and let the decadent atmosphere of defeat permeate the hearts of the Japanese.

This is also a propaganda weapon that is effective in striking back at the Japanese invaders' arrogance.

"Your file has been transferred to my military region, Comrade Liao Fei. I will be your direct superior and will be responsible for issuing tasks and special contacts."

"You have now accepted the highest undercover mission of the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region. Your undercover results have been achieved. In the next few months, you do not need to pass on any intelligence. Just stay rooted in the Kwantung Army of the Japanese."

"Find a way to transfer back to the mainland and obtain the confidential information of the Japanese aircraft and warships. This will be your long-term combat goal."

Liao Fei was stunned for a moment, but his professional ethics allowed him to quickly conceal his doubts and he saluted to accept the arrangement.

He was assigned by the Soviet Union to find out the deployment of the Kwantung Army, but this task has not yet been completed.

Once the Far Eastern Army launched an offensive from the border, if it hit the fortress heavily guarded by the Kwantung Army, it would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Now that Ding Wei has changed his ambush target, how should he notify the Soviets?

What the hell is the point of notifying? If the Far Eastern Army really has the ability, they should just cross the military fortress area and attack. No matter how the Japanese are deployed, they should just rush over.

A torrent of steel, artillery, and aircraft pressed into the Northeast, and the rest was left to fate.

Ding Wei would never let Liao Fei take the risk of investigating the military deployment.

It was easy for intelligence personnel to be suspected when they went to inquire about the military deployment. He only needed to stay hidden, return to the mainland, and take advantage of the chaos to obtain the research data of the Japanese warships and aircraft.

This is far more useful than helping the Soviets. It is useful to the country, to Ding Wei, and to the military and civilians.

The other party's files have indeed been placed in the Suirecha Military Region, and the headquarters has also had new considerations regarding the Northeast.

The current focus is on the North China region, launching a small-scale counterattack, selecting suitable counties and liberating them.

Occupy large tracts of rural areas and land, carry out land reform, carry out revolution, and consolidate the base areas.

Ding Wei's relationship with the Soviets has cooled. He may not be the most suitable candidate to take over the military and political affairs of Northeast China. He needs to communicate with the Soviet big brother frequently, so he needs to consider re-arranging the appointment.

The Northeast region will definitely be a key development area in the future. If we take it and its industrial foundation, we can ensure our invincibility.

The headquarters should consider the situation in North China and take the lead in seizing northern Henan and southern Hebei. It is indeed in line with the situation for the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region to remain inactive.

The problems in the rear of Suiyuan were pointed out to Ding Wei separately, and he was required to consider Suiyuan, Yulin and Ningxia regions.
