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

Chapter 708: Just give me, Zhao Gang, 3 months and I will give you a fighter jet!

The food crisis that was about to break out put Zhao Gang under great pressure. He had tried every possible way to raise food, but he was helpless in the face of the huge gap.

In particular, the occurrence of drought led to a large-scale reduction in production in many places throughout Shanxi Province. There was not enough food to begin with, and most of the food was looted by the Japanese, which led to a direct food crisis for the people.

If the base had not stored a large amount of food in advance, I am afraid that large-scale chaos would have occurred in the areas that have just been occupied.

"Old Zhao, since the situation is so dangerous, we can only use surprise tactics. We must not confront the Japanese head-on. We must find a way to attack their weak points."

"According to our previous investigation, the Japanese mainly transport supplies via railroads. As long as we can destroy the railroads, we can paralyze the Japanese logistics."

"In addition, we have to take the initiative to launch an attack and seize food from the Japanese. We are on the defensive at Niangzi Pass. The Japanese have deployed a large number of heavy troops. It is too difficult to capture them."

"It's simply unrealistic to launch a counterattack from here. I think we can set the direction of the counterattack to the area around Shuiquan County and Fu'an County. By marching at night, we can mobilize a large number of troops to gather near the two counties in five or six days at most."

"Ten days later, we will launch a large-scale counterattack and try to seize all the winter combat supplies stored by the Japanese. Only by doing this can we change the current unfavorable strategic situation."

"The Allied defeat at Midway will only be temporary. I estimate that there will be a counterattack in two months at most. As long as we can contain the Japanese navy's further attacks and drag both sides into a war of attrition, relying on the Allied forces' powerful industrial production capacity, it won't take long to defeat the Japanese navy."

"As long as the Japanese navy is defeated, the Allies will be able to implement a blockade of the Japanese mainland. By then, the Japanese troops stationed in China will be unable to receive reinforcements from the rear and will be caught in a difficult battle."

"I estimate that by that time, we will have successfully recovered the Northeast, and it will be time to march south in a big way. If we work together, we will be able to drive the Japanese invaders out of the sea in one or two years at most. I am very confident about this."

After Lin Zhenhua's analysis, Zhao Gang's worries were reduced a lot. As long as he could get enough food, he would not be afraid even if he had to fight the Japanese for a year or two.

"College students, if we are given half a year, we can transform part of the territory into our strength, and within a year we can completely transform and absorb the territory. By then, arming an army of 200,000 or 300,000 people will be nothing!"

"I am not exaggerating. The population we control now exceeds 2000 million. The actual population should be around 50 million. Even if 40 people support one person, we can still mobilize people."

"After the fourth phase of expansion, the arsenal's production capacity has been greatly improved. We can produce 12 fighter jets a day, which can basically make up for our consumption."

"If you really give us three months, we can guarantee to provide you with 1000 fighter planes. We are not short of people now, the only thing we lack is time!"

Seeing Zhao Gang's high spirits, Lin Zhenhua felt relieved. The difficulties were only temporary. As long as they could overcome the current crisis, the future would be bright.

"Old Zhao, it's time to attack. I must lead the air force regiment to launch an attack. In order to increase the scale of the attack, all fighter jets will also participate in the battle tonight to expand the results of the battle!"
