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

"In theory, our army is not short of oil, and the normal reserves are also very sufficient, but the key problem is that we lack effective means of transportation, and we cannot ask the navy for help in this matter, otherwise it will expose the fact that we have a large amount of fuel."

"This has resulted in a shortage of fuel on the front lines. The previously stockpiled barrel bombs have also been used up, and now all we are using are the stockpiled bombs!"

"But our enemy launched a night attack, which resulted in the bombing of many of our airports and the loss of a lot of fuel and ammunition reserves. Suddenly, bombs and fuel became scarce."

"The aviation force can no longer sustain high-intensity combat operations. We now have to resort to air transport to solve our fuel and ammunition shortages, but the cost is too high. With the military budget we have, we simply cannot afford such an expensive mode of transportation."

Fujiwara Ichiro did not hide the fact that if the problem was not solved due to ammunition and fuel issues, he really would not be able to carry out bombing with full strength, and might even be unable to escort the front-line troops.

General Tada did not expect the situation to be so bad. He asked the intelligence officer beside him and after learning that the news was true, he knew that the matter had to be dealt with, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Yoshi! I'm aware of this matter. I will do everything I can to allocate a batch of fuel and ammunition to your 18th Flying Division. If it's fast, it will arrive in three days, and if it's slow, it won't take more than ten days."

"Next, you must mobilize all the stocks you can and attack the enemy's arsenal at all costs. Only by destroying the enemy's arsenal can we truly win this war."

"Our enemy has a strong weapons production capacity and has armed a 100,000-man army in a very short period of time. Its organization and mobilization production capabilities are extremely terrifying. We must not underestimate this opponent."

"I have asked the Kwantung Army for help and asked them to mobilize 2 to 3 divisions to fight in North China. At the same time, I have also urgently transferred two heavy artillery regiments. It is expected that they will arrive at the front line in 5 to 6 days and launch targeted attacks on enemy fortresses."

"Our most important task at present is to seize absolute air superiority over the battlefield and destroy the enemy's air force at all costs. Only in this way can we launch a ground offensive."

"For this offensive, I have also mobilized two tank battalions from the rear, and combined with the tanks in your 12th Army, I have reorganized a mixed tank brigade. As long as the opportunity is right, they will become a sharp knife and pierce the heart of the enemy!"

"Shinozuka-kun, the headquarters has issued a death order to us this time, requiring us to eliminate this group of enemies entrenched in Taiyuan City!"

"My mission this time is to supervise the battle. I will also find ways to dispatch more support for you. Winter cotton-padded clothes are being urgently collected and are expected to be delivered to the front line in half a month. Let the warriors hold on a little longer. Soon they will be able to wear thick cotton-padded clothes."

"As for the food problem of the troops, the North China Front Army has urgently allocated a batch of food to send over, but due to the interruption of the railway line, it needs to be transported by highway in the middle, so the approximate time is delayed a bit, but it will arrive in six days at the latest. You don't have to worry about the warriors' feeding problem!"
