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

Lin Zhenhua paid close attention to the Japanese troop movements. To ensure the success of the campaign, he ordered the reconnaissance aircraft to strengthen their surveillance of the Japanese.

At the same time, an airborne battalion was dispatched to conduct reconnaissance work behind enemy lines in order to know the enemy and ourselves.

"College student, I just received an urgent telegram from the monk. The Japanese 12th Army has strengthened the defenses at the front, and all kinds of combat supplies have been distributed to the front."

"It seems the Japanese have figured out our plans. This is not good news for us. I think we can't delay any longer. We should launch a counterattack as soon as our troops are in place."

Li Yunlong hurriedly entered the command post and relayed Wei Dayong's telegram to everyone present, providing them with an immediate understanding of the situation at the front.

Lin Zhenhua put down his pen on the table, stood up from his stool, and walked to the huge military map hanging on the wall. He replied in a firm and powerful tone, "Old Li, all the troops have basically moved into position. They need to do some simple maintenance before the battle begins, and our vehicles also need to be inspected."

"Starting a war rashly would be very disadvantageous to our side, not to mention that the Japanese have taken action, which is entirely within our expectations, so there is nothing to worry about at all."

"Our current strength is sufficient to wipe out the Japanese 12th Army. The reason we don't want to do it is to lull the Japanese into a false sense of security and create more favorable conditions for wiping out the main force of the Kwantung Army later."

"According to intelligence transmitted back by reconnaissance aircraft, the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army has been secretly redeployed, which is great news for us."

"The weaker the Kwantung Army is, the better it is for us. Not to mention that the Allies are watching from the sidelines. If we want to have a higher international standing, we must demonstrate our value."

"Don't think about relying on outsiders to drive the Japanese away. We must drive the Japanese away through our own strength and rely on the military factories in Northeast China to complete our initial industrialization."

"With the Northeast industrial base as our strong rear, we can assemble a million-strong army in just one year. Then we will be able to drive the Japanese out with our own strength."

"In order to shorten this process and time, we must move quickly. Armored forces will be the main force of the assault, the number of artillery pieces will be increased from the original 2000 to 3600, and the number of combat aircraft will also be increased from 1300 to 1600."

"Our Jin-Sui Military Sub-district must remain silent until it makes a big splash. As long as we quickly wipe out the Japanese 12th Army before the Japanese can react, and then move north to wipe out the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army, we will have basically secured victory in the north."

"As for the more distant frontier grasslands, due to their vastness and sparse population, to completely control them, we need to establish more supply points. I have already made plans for this and intend to send two regiments to be stationed there first, gradually wiping out the Japanese forces."

"Old Zhao, the fifth phase of our arsenal's expansion is basically complete. With the rubber provided by the Allies, our production capacity can be significantly increased."

"I have only one requirement for the arsenal: it must guarantee the production capacity of fighter jets, which must reach 900 per month, and the number of tanks and armored vehicles must be no less than 300 per month. The consumption of all kinds of ammunition at the front line must also be fully met!"
