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

When both the enemy and us planned to cease fire, the smoke-filled front line quickly calmed down.

The troops drawn from the rear did not withdraw immediately, but instead conducted exercises on the spot. A large number of transport planes not only did not stop delivering supplies to the front line, but actually increased the amount of transportation compared to before.

As more and more transport planes came into service, the two air transport lines began to operate rapidly. The land transport lines were also not idle. Truckloads of supplies were transported to the front line for storage.

In just one night a few days ago, nearly 16 artillery shells were fired, plus 500 tons of bombs. The consumption of bullets was even more severe, exceeding 300 million.

Looking at the ammunition consumption list, Li Yunlong's face looked very ugly. Before, he had fought without any regard for the cost and did not spare any ammunition consumption.

"College students, I think we must hold a meeting and find ways to reduce ammunition consumption. Otherwise, if we launch a counterattack in the spring of next year, we won't be able to complete our planned plan with our current ammunition reserves!"

"If we want to take over the entire Northeast, we must increase our ammunition reserves by more than five times. This is a very difficult task for us. We must brainstorm and come up with a solution!"

Lin Zhenhua also felt the difficulty of the situation. The arsenal's production capacity had reached its limit, and it would be extremely difficult to increase production again in a short period of time.

"Old Li, I completely agree with your proposal. If we want to stockpile enough ammunition in a short period of time, in addition to continuing to increase our own production, we also need to find ways to get help from outside."

"There must be no problems with external air transport routes, and the transport volume must be increased on the existing basis."

"To ensure the safety of the air transport line, I plan to dispatch two fighter regiments to provide escort. At the same time, I plan to establish more supply stations along the way to speed up the transportation of supplies!"

"We have our flagship product, penicillin, which is very popular in the international market. I plan to use it to help us buy ammunition. Even if the bullets are not universal, we will buy them back!"

"At worst, we can establish a separate logistics line to solve the remaining problems first. Once we capture all the Japanese military factories in Northeast China, our production capacity will increase dozens of times. We only need to develop peacefully for a year or two and then we can mobilize a million troops. Then we can march north and drive the Japanese into the sea to feed the fish!"

According to the news Lin Zhenhua had just received, the Second Battle of Midway ended in a draw. This was not good news for the Allies, but it was good news for them.

The greater the consumption of both sides, the better. Only in this way can they have more development opportunities and their post-war days will be better.

"College students, there is no time to lose! We must return to our base area and organize production and counterattack as quickly as possible. All pre-war preparations must be completed before March 1943, 3."

"Monk, immediately pass on my order. Have Zhang Dabiao stay behind to guard Niangzi Pass and be fully responsible for the defense!"

"The 1st and 2nd Armored Regiments will all withdraw to their base for winter training!"

"The First Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment will continue to garrison Niangzi Pass and provide air defense for the troops. The Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment will withdraw to the base area. In addition to strengthening the base area's air defense, they will also begin replacing their anti-aircraft guns with new ones."
