Rebirth of the National Marshal

However, according to the reconnaissance team's report, the Japanese devils' ammunition supply was still very good. During the Second World War, even when they were short of food, their ammunition supply was not a problem. This was one of the reasons why Mao Yuanshan wanted to develop a submarine force. The arsenals in Japan were operating all the time, so if there were submarines, sinking some of their merchant ships would be a fatal blow to their overseas troops.

In terms of heavy firepower, the Japanese devils on the Chengde front have a heavy artillery regiment. The largest caliber artillery of their heavy artillery regiment reaches 203 mm. Even if they use 150 mm artillery to fight against the enemy, they will not be their match.

Although many of their artillery pieces are from ten years ago, their calibers are still there, and there is not much difference between artillery pieces ten years ago and ten years later. Of course, some of the artillery pieces after the founding of the People's Republic of China are different, and those equipped with sights are also different, but there are no such things in this era. The difference between artillery pieces ten years ago and ten years later is really not that big. Except for the rate of fire, the other differences are basically invisible.

It was at this time that Mao Yuanshan realized how inadequate his artillery force was. He had been complacent some time ago, and was happy that the German 150mm howitzer production line had started production. He was very happy in his heart. But now, when he looked at his artillery compared with the Japanese artillery, there was still a big gap. At least the caliber was a problem. The power of a 203mm shell was definitely more than twice that of a 105mm shell.

It seems that the Air Force will have to test this again. This happened when we fought against the Soviet army before. The Soviets also had a lot of large-caliber heavy artillery, and were very backward. If the Air Force had not dealt with them at that time, the soldiers of the security regiment would have suffered heavy casualties if they had just charged forward.

Moreover, if these 203mm heavy artillery were well ambushed, they could achieve great results by attacking the armored regiment worn by the security guards. Although they were not armor-piercing shells, their caliber was too large, and the armored troops were arranged so densely when advancing. If they were really hit by them, the losses would definitely not be small, which would make Mao Yuanshan heartbroken for a while.

Every armored soldier has undergone such a long period of training, and it is not easy after an accident. If you want to train one again, the cost will be very high. I don’t feel sorry for the tanks, but I feel very sorry for these armored soldiers.

There are certainly difficulties. How can there be no difficulties if you want to fight a war? Even if you are a time traveler, the world cannot rotate according to your ideas. There must be many difficulties, and this can also make your army grow. If they always fight a smooth war, they will not be able to grow in the future. The Japanese are not the strongest opponent in the world. The strongest opponent is the Americans on the other side of the ocean.

When Mao Yuanshan thought of those Americans, he felt powerless all over. He was very clear about the scale of the American army at the end of World War II. There were more than 100 aircraft carriers alone, not to mention other things. There were tens of thousands of tanks and planes. Compared with the United States at that time, the scale of his own army now was nothing but a dwarf compared to a giant. It was like an ant compared to a lion!

But if you want to dominate the world, the Americans are an obstacle you cannot get around. They are already the world hegemon. Of course, in terms of military strength, they are not yet, but their economic strength and influence are already among the best in the world. If you want to rule the world, it is impossible to bypass them. The British are their staunch allies, and the British occupy a large amount of territory in this world, so it is necessary to turn against them.

There is no need to look at such long-term things now. The most important thing now is to liberate Rehe, then occupy it, and then capture Qinhuangdao to gain an outlet to the sea. When the submarine soldiers come back, the navy of the Republic of China will be reborn here.

Maybe at that time the Americans will give us some assistance. Even if we develop very fast now, in the eyes of the United States and European countries, we are just a strong ant. Compared with Japan, we are still not as good as the Japanese. However, in order to contain the Japanese, they will definitely give us assistance.

How could the Americans be so kind as to support the anti-fascist front? It was because if the fascist countries won, war in their territory would be inevitable. Instead of fighting in their own country, it would be better to get some weapons and ammunition and fight on the territory of other countries. Then we would not be the ones to suffer the losses.

Facts have also proved that the American strategy is correct, and Mao Yuanshan is thinking the same thing now, so the first step is to drive the Japanese devils out, and then things will have to be considered slowly. As long as the war is not fought on their own territory, they can do whatever the outside world wants.

In Asia, besides the Japanese, there is China. As long as the Japanese are driven out, the chance of other countries invading China is almost zero.

In the cold weapon era, Western capitalist countries took advantage of the Qing government. But now it is the era of hot weapons. If you want to conquer a country like China, you must have tens of millions of troops. That is impossible. Look at which country in the world can bring out tens of millions of troops? Even if you can bring out tens of millions of troops, do you have so many weapons and equipment? Do you want them to come empty-handed? It is very likely that they will never return.

The central government seemed to have smelled the blood here. The political department of the central government has already issued an order for inquiry, asking them what is going on.

Mao Yuanshan had long known that the central government had been infiltrated by Japanese spies. If such confidential information was delivered via telegram, the Japanese would most likely know the time of their attack and would not be able to achieve the desired effect.

Therefore, it is better not to let the central government know about this kind of thing. Just tell them that we are conducting a routine replacement.

Anyway, the central government has no time to take care of them now. The central government is also facing a crisis. The large-caliber ships of the Japanese Navy are coming again, and this time they are battleships, definitely not the small-scale artillery like the previous destroyers.
