Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

However, it must be said that the establishment of this army does consume resources.

Not to mention anything else, there are the tanks and various artillery pieces of the First Army alone.

After expanding to 200,000 people, the millions of points in hand were completely gone.

Now, Zhang Ling has left himself a few thousand points to redeem some delicious food and drinks.

Basically all of it was spent on the First Army.

But fortunately, the points are just right.

All the soldiers of the First Army have all their personal weapons and equipment.

There were even plenty of supplies.

Not to mention other things.

But let’s talk about the current situation.

It’s really not that simple.

The First Army has a total of 200,000 people.

With such a powerful force, we can launch a general attack on the north.

Moreover, the First Army also has powerful heavy firepower weapons.

But Zhang Ling didn't do that.

And Yan'an did not issue such an order.

Because Zhang Ling knows.

The First Army is a newly formed unit.

There are a lot of new recruits here.

You must go through some brutal training before you can go to the battlefield.

Otherwise, once on the battlefield, I would just be giving myself to the little devils to kill.

Moreover, the pilots of the First Army are also undergoing training now.

If the pilots are not trained well.

The First Army, without its air force, would probably not be able to withstand the bombing of the Northeast Army's aircraft.

The independent division had suffered losses in this regard before.

Although there are anti-aircraft weapons.

But it’s never as useful as flying.

Now that we have the opportunity, we naturally have to find a way to train.

In this way, time passed day by day.

The 40 years are about to end.

The year 41 is coming soon.

It has been almost a year since Zhang Ling traveled to this world.

He was also a little surprised.

I didn't expect that I have been in this world for a year.

I really didn't expect this.

But no matter what, Zhang Ling’s mission of traveling through time and space has been accomplished.

Soon, the First Army's pilot training was also nearing completion.

The first batch of pilots of the Eighth Route Army was finally formed.

Zhang Ling also went to inspect it specially.

Nowadays, Zhang Ling is also directly called the leader.

The boss learned that the pilots of the First Army had graduated.

He even went directly to the First Army's Flight Academy in person.

Then, together with Zhang Ling, he cheered for these pilots.

Zhang Ling entertained the boss and others very well.

At the banquet, the boss also asked curiously: "Zhang Ling."

"I heard that the standards for pilots are very strict."

"You've eliminated a lot of good talents."

When Zhang Ling heard this, he realized that the boss felt that the pilots' standards were too strict.

But Zhang Ling had no choice but to say, "Boss, I know what you mean."

"But the Air Force is a very special branch of the military."

"If your physical fitness is not good enough, it's a long way off. If you can't do it, you can't do it."

"There really is no way around it. It's not a question of who can fly and who can't."

"Once the air force takes to the sky, it has no choice."

"If the body can't keep up, or even withstand the acceleration during flight, then the pilot is useless."

"And the training we spent a lot of resources on has been completely wasted."

"It's not that I, Zhang Ling, am harsh about this matter, but there is no way I can help being harsh."

"If you're not harsh, there's really nothing you can do."

"Boss, this is how things are with pilots. It's useless for you to get angry."

Zhang Ling’s explanation made the boss silent.

If someone else said this, the boss would probably scold him.

But these words came from Zhang Ling's mouth.

Zhang Ling is now the Eighth Route Army's golden nugget in North China.

The entire North China region's heavy industry, military industry and light industry were all acquired by Zhang Ling.

Nowadays, many of the equipment of the Eighth Route Army troops in North China are provided by Taiyuan.

It can be said that Zhang Ling is the creator of all this.

Even if you are unhappy, there is nothing you can do.

This is how it is, you have to accept it whether you like it or not.

How to put it, Zhang Ling knows best how to select talents.

Therefore, the boss really has no solution.

Thinking of this, the boss nodded and said, "Zhang Ling, there is nothing wrong with what you said."

"I recognize you, Boss, but no matter what."

"Anyway, your First Army of 200,000 people has been established this time."

"I hope you can lead the troops well, Zhang Ling. The defense of North China is now in your hands."

Zhang Ling then said happily: "Boss, don't worry, give me another half a year."

"I will train these 200,000 troops into a mighty army."

"At that time, as long as Yan'an and the general give the order, the First Army can set out to attack the Northeast at any time."

"Liberate Beilong Country first."

“Then we will head south to prepare for the liberation of the entire country.”

……

In the following period, the First Army of the Eighth Route Army has always been the focus of attention of the whole country and even the world.

Chiang Kai-shek was because of the humiliating defeat of the National Army in Zhongtiao Mountains.

Therefore, the National Army was directly ordered to abandon the North.

Just look at the terrifying combat effectiveness of the First Army of the Eighth Route Army.

What’s the point of guarding the north?

It would be better to just give it to the Eighth Route Army as a favor.

The Eighth Route Army also took the opportunity to change their equipment at this time.

Directly order other troops to advance westward.

It directly liberated the entire Shaanxi province as well as Gansu, Ningxia and other areas.

Afterwards, the Western Route Army marched west again and directly attacked the three Ma in the northwest.

The blood feud of the three Northwestern Ma people was not avenged.

This time is very different from the Western Route Army's expedition in 36.

This time, the Eighth Route Army directly replaced its heavy firepower equipment.

Although it cannot be compared with the First Army.

However, some troops have begun to possess heavy weapons such as cannons.

There are also a large number of Type 95 automatic rifles produced by ourselves.

Some troops already have tanks.

Under such circumstances, the three Ma from the Northwest are no match at all.

But in just a few months.

The three Ma armies in the northwest were completely wiped out.

The entire Hexi Corridor fell into the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

The Hexi Corridor was incorporated into the territory, and the next step was to fight to enter the Western Regions, Tibet and Qinghai.

At this time, a large amount of weapons and ammunition were replenished;

The whole battle was not easy at all.

By mid-41, the Eighth Route Army had basically controlled most of the territory of Longguo.

And Chiang Kai-shek is still hiding in the southwest region.

Even more, because the Eighth Route Army had liberated Qinghai and Tibet.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army began to take action in Sichuan.

The entire war of resistance was directly changed because of the appearance of Zhang Ling.

Chiang Kai-shek also began to feel restless.

Qinghai was taken by the Eighth Route Army, and there was no safety in the rear.

And at the front, although Hunan and other places are still in our hands, in fact...

Most of Hubei has fallen, but Guangdong and Fujian have not yet completely fallen.

But the areas around Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai fell completely.
