Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

After talking with Li Yunlong, Lin Zhenhua immediately changed the pre-war deployment and dispatched nearly half of the fighter planes to bomb the military factory in Fengtian in order to affect the enemy's logistical and ammunition supply.

"Liu Qingshan, I will provide you with night flight instructions. Your mission tonight is to lead half of the bomber force to attack the airport under the 18th Flying Division of the Japanese."

"After completing the attack, return immediately. Be careful of the Japanese's revenge the next day. After the bomber unit lands, immediately place it in a secret hangar. Never leave it in the open air to avoid being targeted by the Japanese."

"Xue Chengshan, I will personally lead the team to bomb the enemy's Fengtian military factory. In order to improve the results of the battle, all the oil barrel bombs must be replaced with explosive incendiary bombs. The loading must be completed before nine o'clock tonight."

After arranging the bombing, Lin Zhenhua hurried to the underground command center, met Zhao Gang who had been waiting for a long time, and asked about the material reserves of the base.

"College students, during combat, the consumption of supplies is five times more than usual. We have tried every possible way to ensure the supply of supplies at the front. Since the front has been fighting all the time, the only empty warehouse period is less than ten days. Although we have rushed a large amount of supplies to the front, there is still a huge gap from the plan."

"Especially after our air transport line was shut down, some of our much-needed materials could not be imported into the base. If we hadn't stockpiled a large amount of raw materials in advance, I'm afraid the arsenal would have fallen into the embarrassing situation of stopping production."

"In addition to the supply of raw materials, we also encountered some problems with the food supply. As the territory we control becomes larger and larger, more and more disaster victims need relief. The Japanese took away a lot of food when they evacuated, and ordinary people generally don't have much food in their homes. Now they are completely dependent on our previous food reserves."

"If our base had not had a bumper harvest this year, with production doubling, we really wouldn't be able to feed so many people. I have to say that fertilizers are useful. In terms of production, the effect is very obvious. I think we should build more fertilizer factories to increase crop yields and alleviate the impending food crisis."

"In addition, we have to find a way to restart the air transport line. Even if we can't transport during the day, we can switch to nighttime. In short, no matter what the cost, we must store food for half a year, otherwise there is a high possibility that a large-scale famine will break out next spring."

"Food is different from other things. We can still endure it if we don't have it, but if we don't have food to eat, we will starve to death."

Lin Zhenhua also felt tremendous pressure. The population controlled by the base now reached tens of millions. The enormous pressure made him feel a little breathless. This was the fundamental reason why he asked for help from others.

"Old Zhao, we really can't win a quick victory over the Japanese right now. We must buy another three months to transform the resources and population of the areas we control into our real combat power. Only then can we launch a counterattack in April or May next year, and then completely defeat the Japanese 11th Army and occupy the entire Shanxi Province."

"At present, we can only use asymmetric warfare methods to attack the Japanese military factories and force them to transfer their aviation forces to the rear. Only in this way can we fight a protracted war of attrition with the Japanese."

"No matter what we do, we cannot lose air superiority on the battlefield. Once we lose air superiority on the battlefield, not only will we lose Niangzi Pass, we will also lose Taiyuan City, and even our base will be gone!"
