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

Regarding the success or failure of the major counter-offensive, Ding Wei did not remain silent; his face was full of serious expression.

"Old Li, your suggestion is indeed quite prudent, but it will cause us to miss the best opportunity to counterattack."

"During the standoff with us, the Japanese 12th Army engaged in hundreds of small-scale battles. Our casualties reached the level of a regiment, and the Japanese casualties were certainly not small either."

"Our troops have now completed their mechanization and their logistical ammunition transport capabilities far surpass those of the Japanese. Not to mention, we have successfully repaired the railway line and have an inland waterway transport brigade, which can fully guarantee the transport of logistical supplies for the troops."

"The training of all units has been completed, and they have gone through six exercises of varying sizes. We have also sent small units to conduct rotational exercises, and a large-scale exercise was just held three days ago. Morale is high right now, and this is the best time to launch a counterattack."

"As for the news of the Japanese 11th Army's imminent arrival, there is no need to worry too much. The Japanese 11th Army is indeed well-equipped, but unfortunately it is the only mobile force the Japanese have in our territory."

"As long as this entire force marches north, the mountain city can take this opportunity to launch a large-scale counter-offensive and recover lost territory. This would be a great thing for the war effort."

"Our fortifications have long been completed. Our new recruits may not be qualified for open field battles against the Japanese, but if we were to engage in positional warfare, the Japanese would be no match for us now."

"From last year to now, we have produced a total of 96 fortress guns, all of which have now been deployed. Not to mention that we have also built 86 new airports, which can be directly deployed to the front line of combat."

"The newly developed napalm bombs have reached a stockpile of 3000 tons, which is sufficient to meet our initial operational needs."

"In addition, our oil drum bombs have successfully begun mass production, with a daily production capacity of 200 tons. If the situation becomes urgent, the production capacity can be increased to 300 tons in a very short time, which is enough to meet the needs of the front-line offensive."

Ding Wei picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then picked up the baton and pointed to the location of Chahar.

"Please look here, gentlemen. The Japanese have only one battalion deployed in Chahar, only two companies in Rehe, and only three companies in Suiyuan. It's not enough to feed us at all."

"As for those puppet troops, no matter how many there are, they are not a concern. As long as we take over these three provinces, we can rely on the Great Wall to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army."

"With the Great Wall as our support, we can advance or retreat as needed. As for your concern about fighting on two fronts, Lao Li, I think it's completely unfounded."

"Our three armies can split into two groups for a counterattack, leaving one group to launch a decisive battle against the Japanese 12th Army and strive to severely damage the Japanese 12th Army in the shortest possible time."

"Afterwards, this main force will head north to join the other two main forces, and then launch a general offensive against the Japanese Kwantung Army. As long as we are fast enough, we can completely avoid the embarrassing situation of fighting on two fronts!"
