After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

Although she did not lead troops to fight and knew little about this aspect, Qin Feng had said that the New First Front Army must complete half of the mechanization process before it would have the confidence to fight the Kwantung Army!

"It's unlikely. Even if the test is passed, all indicators meet the requirements."

"But even with full-scale production, the output will not be able to support the arming of the New Front Army in a short period of time."

"Besides, the war cannot drag on for that long!" Qin Feng shook his head.

The Panzer IV takes about 200 hours to assemble, and additional hours are needed to produce various components. The T-34 is slightly better, requiring about 8000 hours.

The calculation of weapon production efficiency is basically based on working hours, that is, one person works for one hour. For example, a T-1 tank requires 1 working hours.

But this does not mean that 8000 people working at the same time for one hour can produce a tank.

Rather, it refers to the total time per person required for all parts from ore transportation, smelting and processing to transportation and assembly.

Of course, this is only the total time. The specific production time needs to be broken down further. For example, smelting steel requires 3 people working for 2 hours, which is 6 man-hours.

In short, if a war really comes, at most Chu Yunfei's 10th Division will be the first to complete mechanization, which is still the most ideal situation.

I'm afraid even the 10th Division may not be able to fully complete mechanization!

"Then what should we do?" Wang Ke's face changed.

"It doesn't matter! The situation is still unclear, and we are not the most anxious ones!" Qin Feng said calmly.

"Secondly, the battlefield changes rapidly, so seizing the opportunity is often more important!"

If victory or defeat is determined solely by weapons and equipment, there will be no such thing as the few defeating the many or the weak defeating the strong.

Although the New First Front Army cannot complete mechanization in a short period of time, as long as it seizes the opportunity, it may be able to turn the situation around!

"I understand!" Wang Ke felt more and more that the situation was difficult.

Now the new front army is ready, except for the time to develop!

If the war could be dragged on for a period of time, they would inevitably usher in an astonishing qualitative change.

But the problem is that reality obviously won't give them this opportunity.

According to the commander-in-chief, the situation of the Japanese in the Pacific is deteriorating, and being able to delay time by relying on the tank country is already the best solution made by the Japanese!

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Emergency, sudden change inside the pass!"

Zhao Gang's voice suddenly sounded from outside, and then he walked in quickly.

Hearing this voice, Wang Ke's heart skipped a beat.

Every time Minister Zhao's voice appears, it always brings bad news!

"Old Zhao! What happened?" Qin Feng asked.

"Commander-in-chief! Something big has happened inside the Great Wall! The Japanese in the Central Plains war zone have gathered and are heading north!" Zhao Gang said with a serious expression.

"Going north?"

"Yes! Not only that, we got the news that Shancheng ordered the Second War Zone to be responsible for blocking this group of devils heading north!"

"Second War Zone?" Wang Ke's pupils widened subconsciously.

"Currently, the Central Plains War Zone has gathered about 120,000 troops and is heading north. Commander Yan from the Second War Zone must have also received the news!" Zhao Gang carefully reported the intelligence he had obtained.

"I still underestimated the guy from Shancheng!" Qin Feng shook his head helplessly.

He was not surprised by the Japanese mobilization in the Central Plains.

What surprised him was the actions of the mountain city.

At this point, the situation has become very clear. The mobilization of Bai Chongxi's troops was not a spontaneous act on the other side, but a premeditated decision made long ago!

This decision is to abandon the entire Second War Zone, or to use the Second War Zone as a chess piece in this war!

Even further guessing, abandoning a pawn?

......

"Fuck you! You want me to be the cannon fodder in the front?"

"The lives of the soldiers in the Second World War are not human lives?"

In the Second War Zone Supreme Command, Commander Yan suddenly cleared away all the documents on the table.

The anger on his face almost solidified into reality!

Will the Second War Zone send out all its troops to resist the northward advance of the Japanese coalition forces from the Central Plains War Zone?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was the man in Shancheng's fault for arbitrarily mobilizing Bai Chongxi's troops in the Central Plains War Zone.

Bai Chongxi leads his troops to leave the Central Plains war zone, and the Japanese will inevitably head north!

The Japs were not fools either. They directly cooperated with the Kwantung Army that was about to enter the south and completely destroyed the three lines of defense built by the entire Xia Kingdom in Shancheng!

"Commander Yan! Having said that, we are in a difficult situation!" The deputy was hesitant and did not dare to say anything for a moment.

If the Second War Zone disobeys orders at this time, the consequences will be very serious!

First, passive resistance!

Second, when the Xia Kingdom was in danger, he refused to send troops!

In this case, how can he gain a foothold in northwest Shanxi and how can he face the people of northwest Shanxi?

Third, Shancheng will definitely not let go of this opportunity and will inevitably settle the score later!

The telegram from Shancheng was very clear. Even if we had to fight hard in the Second War Zone, we must also stop the Japanese from moving northward, and we must not let the war spread to the three lines of defense!

"Commander Yan! Frontline observation report: the Japanese advance troops from the Central Plains War Zone have arrived at our southeastern defense zone!" the deputy reported hurriedly.

"Son of a bitch! I've never suffered such a big loss in my life!" Commander Yan said with red eyes.

The first step of the Japanese marching route is to seize Taiyuan first, and then use Taiyuan as a springboard to threaten the Taipei City and Tianjin areas.

The strategic goal was very clear, but he had no solution!

There are more than 100,000 Japanese devils, and their momentum is even stronger than that of Kazuo Shinozuka back then!

And the problem is that the invincible army that swept the Japanese was not in northwest Shanxi.

How does this make him fight?

"Commander Yan! If we rely on Taiyuan, we may be able to hold off the enemy!"

"But what's the response from Commander Li?" the deputy sighed.

"Even if we rely on Taiyuan, it won't work!" Commander Yan gritted his teeth.

Want to copy the independent brigade’s combat mode and create a miracle in Taiyuan?

This is obviously impossible!

The reason why the independent brigade was able to defend Taiyuan and firmly contain Kazuo Shinozuka's army was not only a matter of timing, but also because of its strong strength!

Sixty thousand troops, all of them are elite soldiers, armored units, and artillery units!

Moreover, Qin Feng calculated every move of Shinozuka Kazuo, and the cards he holds are unfathomable!

"Then Commander Yan, what should we do?" The deputy took a deep breath.

At this point, in the entire Second War Zone, only the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was capable of fighting this battle.

As for the Eighth Route Army, that is a variable.

When Qin Feng headed north, the troops on both sides of northwestern Shanxi were rapidly improved and their expansion efforts were greatly increased.

"No matter what, Taiyuan can't be thrown away again!" Commander Yan had a gloomy face.

"what do you mean?"

"Pass the order down! All active troops in the Second War Zone are to enter a full war state!"

"Make full use of the terrain advantages of the area and start a tug-of-war. We don't seek victory, but we must not let the war spread to Taiyuan!"

If the war spreads to Taiyuan, the Japanese's strategic goal will be achieved!

Although he had some complaints about Shancheng, Taiyuan must not be lost no matter what!

Whether it is against the mountain city or against the Second War Zone!

"Yes! Commander Yan!"

The deputy responded loudly.
