Rebirth of the National Marshal

A line of defense consisting of about three to four thousand infantrymen collapsed within ten minutes. The Soviet second line of defense was about 1000 meters away from here. All the Soviet soldiers who ran away on the road were caught up by tanks and then shot.

After seeing this scene, Kong Erlangzi, who was commanding at the front line, immediately thought of an important issue and quickly took out his notebook to write it down. He learned handwriting in the army, so his handwriting was crooked, but what he wrote down was very important. That is, the Chahar infantry unit lacked anti-tank weapons. If we put ourselves in their shoes, our army formed a line of defense, and the enemy had so many tanks to attack, and our armored forces had no way to come to support us. What could we rely on at that time?

Should we also tie up grenades and charge forward like the Soviets did? This is simply an act of suicide. While we laugh at others, we must also see our own shortcomings!

The anti-tank weapons used by the Chahar army are also 37mm anti-tank guns, but their opponent's tanks are relatively rubbish, whether it is the Japanese or the Soviets, such small artillery can kill their tanks, but what should they do if they encounter Sherman tanks? Sherman tanks are definitely not something that these 37mm small artillery can deal with, they are not on the same level at all.

Although Kong Erlangzi could not read or write, the suggestion he raised still attracted the attention of Mao Yuanshan. Now Mao Yuanshan also felt that the anti-tank weapons in the army were somewhat insufficient. Although they were sufficient for the time being, the future opponents would not only be the Soviet Union and the Japanese in front of them. There would be more opponents. If they wanted to gain a foothold in this world, they would have to fight with other vested interests, such as the Americans, the British, the French, and even the people of other countries in the world, because they had already occupied the better places in the world. If I want to rise, I can only snatch it back from you. You have to return my things that you snatched away before to me honestly.

Now Mao Yuanshan’s biggest frustration is that he knows the shortcomings of his army, especially in terms of weapons and equipment, but he has no way to solve it. In recent times, all the things unlocked by the system are small things, and there are still no large things.

Mao Yuanshan was very familiar with the history of this period and felt that his main enemies in the next one to two years would still be the Soviets and the Japanese. There was no need to worry about the Japanese. From the beginning to the end of World War II, their weapons and equipment had not been updated, and were even getting worse. The Soviets were different. In the early stage of World War II, their weapons and equipment could be said to be very poor, but in the middle and late stages, their weapons and equipment were already very good. Therefore, Mao Yuanshan felt that he should change his strategy and maintain a strategic stalemate with the Japanese. He should beat the Soviets hard and directly occupy the vast Siberian region before they rise.

The Soviet Union's industrial base was still very strong. During the Second World War, it accepted support from some Americans and British and made its industry run at full capacity. At that time, they produced a lot of military equipment. If all these military equipment were used on themselves, such as the large number of tanks and the planes that covered the sky, Mao Yuanshan shuddered all over when he thought of this. He should have strangled these Soviets in the cradle and not allowed himself to have such a terrible enemy.

Therefore, at this moment, we must gain sufficient strategic depth to occupy Irkutsk, which is imperative.

Give yourself about two months to occupy Irkutsk, and then send out local troops to start clearing the surrounding area. At that time, you can bring nearly 20 square kilometers of land around it under your control again. Now you can own about 50 square kilometers of land in the Soviet Union. This is definitely a very good thing for you. Of course, it is also a nightmare for the Soviets.

The war must be fought on the enemy's territory, and only then can one's own working people settle down to develop. Now China is in a state of disrepair in all aspects, especially the areas controlled by the Chahar local government. Complete sets of industrial equipment and mining equipment brought from Germany have begun to be set up everywhere. I believe that in a short time, the entire area can be established into the only large-scale industrial zone in China, and a heavy industrial zone at that. This is very important for the rise of China.

According to the data, there are about 300 manufacturing companies in the Irkutsk region, including two steel mills and an ironworks. These are all very important industrial factories and they must all be taken over. Therefore, the most important task of the remaining clone soldiers is to protect these factories from damage by the Soviets.

If the Soviets saw that they could not hold Irkutsk, they would definitely destroy the city, just like they did in Ulan-Ude. They also left behind a destruction force of about one or two thousand people. Unfortunately, the Security Corps advanced too fast, faster than them. When they saw that the Security Corps had already occupied Ulan-Ude, this force did not enter the city directly, but bypassed the city and retreated towards the deep areas of the Soviet Union.

Now Mao Yuanshan has sent out a total of about 1000 clone soldiers, of which about have already infiltrated the Soviet army. However, they have not been able to get some useful information. This is mainly because the promotion system in the Soviet army is different from that of other countries. No matter how brave you are in combat, it will not have much effect. You will be stuck at the level of platoon leader. All the officers above must have backdoors. If you don't have any connections, it will be too difficult for you to get promoted. Those people in Moscow have sent their sons and nephews to the Far East Military Region to gild their reputation, because this place is the only place in the entire Soviet Union where there is war.

Although there are no senior officers among them, the lower-level soldiers can also accomplish a lot of things. At the critical moment, they can all be gathered together to protect the Irkutsk industrial zone. This can be regarded as a huge contribution to themselves. If this entire industrial zone purchases all German equipment, it will cost tens of millions of oceans.
