"Breaking news, breaking news, the Qilu Security Army wiped out 3800 people from the 10th regiment of the 10th division, Chichai Bazhong Zang!”
When the news was first released by Qilu Daily, the whole country was in an uproar and the newspapers reprinted it.
The corpses of the Japanese were clearly captured by the reporters from all over the place. All the doubts were shattered before they could be heard.
For a moment, Hou Yi's army was in the limelight.
With 20 million in his hands and the remaining 11,000 soldiers from the 49th division, Liu Bi no longer kept a low profile and spread the news.
He decided to wipe out the Japanese troops from Dezhou to the Yellow River.
He had already built up the maximum number of barracks to 10. Each barracks had 12 production lines, and a batch was produced every five hours. If he went all out, he could add 1800 new soldiers every day. The cost of each was 100 dollars, and the daily consumption was 180,000 dollars.
In order to deal with the threat on land, he had secretly accumulated more than 2000 tanks, car drivers, and artillery as reserves. He had also accumulated Bio-Human infantry, 18000 Type I and Type II land soldiers, 1500 infrastructure engineers, and a huge amount of weapons and ammunition. Pilots were 500 dollars each, and he had already produced 250 of them. He had also accumulated 500 planes.
Seeing Yan Yu-er's uneasy expression, afraid that Liu Bi would think that the former Northeast Army had already become the sole power in Hou Yi's Army, Liu Bi's first words were,""The 49th division, replenish, replenish the elite soldiers, expand, and train the low-level officers again. I want to build them into a fully reinforced army! I said I wouldn't mistreat you, my people, and of course, that includes your fellow countrymen!”
Yan Yu-er was so touched that she almost gave herself to him on the spot. However, what she did not know was that once the biochemical soldiers were added, the 49th division would no longer be under Brother Baldy's control.
"Doomsday, you said that the elite soldiers that were replenished are those from your family?”Marvin secretly asked.
"Yes." Liu Bi naturally knew that he was asking about the biochemical soldiers. In order to explain the origin of these people, he had lied that these were soldiers recruited by the mysterious family behind him.
"How can such a strong army be given to others? "They are the government's army, when the time comes, a transfer order…" Marvin was so anxious that he stomped his feet and gritted his teeth."If it really doesn't work, I might as well go out and pull ten thousand young men for them. These elites are for their own use!”
"Let's talk about it after this. If they want to leave, I naturally have a way to separate them. No matter what, my army will not allow the existence of able-bodied men!”Liu Bi waved his hand and skipped the topic.
Although this might hurt Marvin's heart, there were some things that couldn't be explained to him.
In the later generations after Liu Bi's arrival, anti-Japanese dramas where one or two people killed more than a dozen Japanese were often ridiculed by netizens all over the country. In fact, at that time, killing more than a dozen Japanese was already a great victory. There were more than one case where the Japanese occupied a county.
Looking at the history of World War II, the level of modern infantry weapons in Asia, including the Wei Nation's army, was generally not high. Their firepower (automatic weapons, heavy artillery, etc.) was even less comparable to that of the European continent. The Japanese army's dominance in Asia could basically be said to be "picking the taller ones from the shorter ones."
In that case, what was so bad about the Chinese army that caused the rivers to collapse and the land to sink?
The first difference was the confusion of national consciousness.
China, which had just experienced a war between warlords, had a chaotic political scene. The governments established by the warlords alternated back and forth, with one side singing and the other taking the stage. As a result, the people's recognition of the national government was not high, and the national consciousness was not strong. Most places respected the clan as the main grassroots rule. They did not care about who the government was, and they were unable to adapt to it. Ever since the 1894 - 1895 War, when the Wei Nation invaded North Korea, the Japanese had almost never lost in their military operations against China. Their victory in the Russo-Japanese War against Russia in Northeast China had greatly strengthened their hegemonic image in China. In addition, the public and scholars who had returned from studying in the Wei Nation, such as Lu, had intentionally or unintentionally promoted the advanced image of the Wei Nation, weakening and even vilifying China's national consciousness. Therefore, until the Jinling incident, The Chinese people did not have a high awareness of resisting the Japanese. They thought that it was another two warlords fighting for hegemony. They were generally disgusted with war, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians was low. They could not adapt to high-intensity bloody battles.
The second difference was the low quality of the soldiers due to the difference in the level of mobilization. Recruiting strong soldiers was no different from mixing sand with sand.
In the early stages of the war, the Japanese soldiers had high morale due to their psychological advantage and were well-trained. On the other hand, the Chinese soldiers had a complex composition. Other than the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 14th, 36th, 87th, and 88th divisions of the Central Army, as well as the members of the tax police corps that did not belong to the regular military system, who had received real modern military training, the rest of the miscellaneous military backbones that used to be warlords had mostly received outdated military training. The old-style members of the Qing Xin Army, who were jokingly called the " line-up shooting tactic," as well as members of the various landlord classes, mixed with more farmers who were pulled over by the " able-bodied men," were the main body of the Chinese army at that time.
Although the motley crew's tactics were outdated, and most of the officers were just grass-roots soldiers, they were, after all, veterans who had seen blood in the warlords 'chaotic battles. However, in the confrontation with the Japanese, they could not display the adaptability of veterans to the battlefield. Instead, they appeared rather rigid and even had poor adaptability.(In the battle of North Korea, the Chinese army displayed the advantage of having many veterans. The entire army quickly adapted to the powerful firepower and air and sea advantages of the US army and found a way to resist them.) For example, night marching, close-range ambush, tunnel warfare, anti-slope tactics, infiltration warfare, sniping, and so on. It was a stark contrast to the rigid and ignorant Chinese army at the beginning of the war.），The drawback that led to this kind of stiffness and inadaptability was the simple and crude mobilization method left behind by the warlord era--pulling strong men.
The army itself was not strong enough, and lacked firepower and weapons. If they mixed in with farmers who had been forced to join the army and had only gone through less than a month of military training and could not distinguish between left and right, the consequences on the battlefield would be disastrous.
For example, the well-trained Japanese would receive a full set of modern military training from the beginning of their reserve duty. With sufficient time, military actions would have long been imprinted into their subconscious. Their basic infantry units would skillfully find cover to avoid being killed when they were attacked by the enemy's firepower. Then, they would spread out in formation and provide cover from the front. At the same time, they would flank the enemy and try to pull out the firepower points that were blocking the way and call for artillery support.
If the Chinese soldiers were attacked or attacked, they would immediately fall into chaos. The requirement of the modern army was for the soldiers to lie down within two seconds of hearing gunshots and find a suitable bunker within one minute. However, it would take at least ten minutes or even half an hour for these strong men to wake up from the panic caused by the gunfire and think about lying down. Most of them ignored the gunfire and turned around to run, causing heavy casualties. Occasionally, they would be bold enough to shoot back randomly, and the chances of hitting their own people were even higher. Lower-level officers did not train soldiers or command battles, but rather, suppressed the scattered soldiers.
During the Battle of Changde, the 8,000 men of the 10th Division who were temporarily assigned to assist Changde were attacked by two regiments of the Japanese 3rd Division with machine gun fire. The troops quickly collapsed. The division commander, Sun Mingjing, personally carried a machine gun and led the backbone of the organization to counterattack. Unfortunately, they were defeated by their own troops and were completely annihilated in a few hours. Sun Mingjing died with four bullets in his body. He was only 38 years old.
There were countless examples of an entire regiment being wiped out by an ambush, and there were even more veterans who died at the hands of " pig teammates." The reason for this outcome was due to the backward method of mobilizing the strong men. This method of mobilization would continuously kill the veterans who had seen blood on the battlefield, and then replace them with new untrained strong men. This was a process of constantly thinning the blood and mixing the sand. The more they fought, the weaker their troops became. Fortunately, the Wei Nation had spread their forces too widely, and almost all of their veterans were thrown into the Pacific battlefield. Therefore, this was a process of comparison. With the blood loss from the Pacific War, the quality of the Japanese army was clearly deteriorating faster than the Chinese army.
His army had Bio-Humans as adjutants and basic soldiers, so it was not considered a grass-roots team. However, Liu Bi did not want to try the consequences if he mixed in the strong men. Therefore, he would rather spend a lot of money to use biochemical soldiers to deal with emergencies and slowly train new recruits than to fill the numbers.
Just as Marvin was hesitating, Cao Fulin came with a piece of news.
Someone from Jinling was coming to see him.
