However, since the other party dared to say such a thing, he should be confident, so he chose to believe it.
After sending off the southern expedition army and Zhu San's group, Xia Zilong returned to his busy military and political work.
However, this situation should not last long, because Xia Zilong had already promoted an official and was preparing to train him to be a butler so that he could accept these busy government affairs.
As for military affairs, most of them had been handed over to Tie Guozhu, Long Zhenxiong, and Air Force Major General Li Yiming.
When he returned to the command center, the future butler, He Siyu, was already waiting for him.
"Marshal, our household registration policy and circulation policy have almost been implemented. At present, we have achieved absolute control in Xinghe County. In the next stage, we will gradually expand it to all the occupied areas and eliminate all unstable factors in the territory as soon as possible…"
"In addition, the spring plowing has been arranged. Currently, more than 200 tractors have joined the spring plowing work. It is estimated that the work area this year will increase by more than 1/3 compared to last year..."
"The road construction plan arranged by the marshal has already begun to be implemented. The preliminary planning of the road lines to Jining, Shangyi, Wanquan, Chahar Right Front Banner and other places has already been completed.
However, due to the imminent spring plowing, there was not enough labor for the time being, so there was no large-scale construction yet.”
Xia Zilong nodded in agreement and said,""Yes, these situations must be implemented and arranged as soon as possible. It concerns the national economy and the people's livelihood.”
"Don't worry, marshal. We've already arranged for people to monitor the situation. There won't be any mistakes.”
"That's good! Anyway, I've given you the money now. I've also given you all the materials and equipment you need. You have to produce results as soon as possible!”
This was not Xia Zilong giving him a random target. On the contrary, he had already lowered his requirements by a lot.
At least tens of millions of funds had been allocated from various aspects, and there were all kinds of construction equipment, which was enough to meet their work needs.
If he still couldn't achieve anything, then he had to suspect that there was something wrong with his administrative system.
He Siyu was under a lot of pressure now. He was just an ordinary county official in the past. He had never even been a county head.
Now, he had to coordinate the work situation of so many places. It was really a little like chasing ducks.
Xia Zilong did not want to put so much work on him at once, but the country's infrastructure was too poor!
In Chahar, other than the Beijing-Zhang railway built by Zhan Tianyou, there was no other railway. There was no hardened road at all.
If it weren't for the dry weather in the north and the sturdy roads, no one knew how his mechanized troops could guarantee the logistics.
Xia Zilong had a terrible feeling about this place, so he basically didn't want to go out until now. He was really ruined by these bumpy roads.
In addition, in the future, he would definitely go north from here to recover his territory, so all kinds of road transportation facilities had to be perfected.
There were too many things to do, and Xia Zilong was beginning to feel that he was lacking. It could even be said that he was completely incompetent.
Therefore, he had been planning to establish a military and political school during this period of time to cultivate talents in both the military and political fields. Then, he could be liberated!
4th month, 2nd day, the Xia army set out from the already occupied Zhangbei County and suddenly took down the Great Wall Pass. They quickly broke into the Great Wall and headed straight for Zhang Jiakou!
Only then did the Huabei Front Army react.
"Bagaya Deer! What are the people from the Special High Tech doing? Are they all idiots? Why didn't we receive any news of the enemy gathering so many troops?”
He had no choice but to be angry!
The intelligence system of the Japanese was very powerful at this time. All the forces in the country were infiltrated by them.
Other than the Red Faction, which was difficult to infiltrate due to its strict management, it was generally difficult for the other factions to keep their secrets completely. Even the plans that had just been made in the morning had already appeared on the Japanese's desk at night.
However, this time, they were not facing any of the forces they were familiar with. The intelligence department had no way of knowing Xia Zilong's military plans and movements.
"Your Excellency, the most important thing now is not to hold them accountable. The mixed regiment of the 116th Division and the garrison army only has about 30,000 people. I wonder if they can hold them off?"”
Shan Sanyuan was not confident either. The 116th division was a proper and special field division formed by the divisions that stayed behind. It could be considered an elite division!
However, even though the mixed regiment had about 10,000 people, it still lacked heavy firepower. The situation was not very optimistic!
"Report, the air force has sent news that the enemy's aircraft have been mobilized in large numbers.”
Shan Sanyuan hesitated!
"How many planes does the enemy have?" Aoka Saburo asked.”
"General, according to the reconnaissance planes, there are at least 700 to 800 enemy planes.”
"Nani? How can there be so many?"
"Ha Yi, this is a unified report from several reconnaissance pilots.”
"Baka! Last time, it was said that they only had about 500 to 600 planes. How did they get so many planes in such a short time?”Saburo Aoka was filled with confusion.
" Order the aerial team to attack," Shan Sanyuan said." But we can't fight the enemy head-on. We just need to hold them back!" He ordered the 110th division to attack their rear, and the 20th division sent a portion to assist them.”
"Ha Yi!" The signalman left after receiving the order.
After thinking for a long time, he said to Shan Sanyuan,""Your Excellency, according to the information we have received so far, the enemy has almost two divisions of chariot troops. I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on to Zhang Jiakou!”
"No, the chariot troops only have a greater advantage in the plains. We don't need to fight them in the wild outside. Instead, we'll go back to the town and fight them in the streets.”
"Your Excellency is wise! If that's the case, then they can hold on longer and buy us time to mobilize our forces.”
"Ask the headquarters immediately if we should speed up the battle in Xuzhou or end it in order to deal with the crisis in North China," said Shan Sanyuan.
"Sir, we already have the advantage. Just look at how we can completely defeat their million-strong army.”
"Gang Bujun, I also know that this is the situation, but if we can't defend Pingjin, then even if we take down Xuzhou and the Yellow River basin, how useful will it be?”
Saburo Aoka nodded in agreement. Most of their supplies came from the northeast.
If the Pinjin area could no longer be defended, then the Second Army fighting in the south would lose their source of supplies.
Although it could also be transported by sea to places like Qingdao and Lianyungang, it would at least cause logistical chaos and inevitably affect the effectiveness of the battle.
Now that they were fighting near Taierzhuang, they couldn't let their efforts go to waste!
