Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 160: Summary of the war in the Yellow River

Chapter 160 The post-war summary of the Yellow River

Two days after the deputy commander-in-chief announced the official end of the first phase of the attack mission, the three main forces at all levels gradually withdrew to safe bases.

It’s nine o’clock in the morning on the 29th.

At this time, Huang He was having breakfast in the cafeteria. Zhang Wanhe, who was sitting next to him, was talking energetically about what he had seen and heard recently.

There is a circle of comrades from the Logistics Department around them who are holding their breath. Everyone is listening attentively. Whenever something dangerous is mentioned, there will be bursts of exclamations.

Suddenly, Wang Dexing broke in through the door.

This reckless move startled everyone. Just when Zhang Wanhe was about to say a few words, he suddenly saw the folder in the other person's hand.

The nearly forty-year-old head of the Logistics Department burst out with astonishing speed. He jumped up from his stool and rushed to Wang Dexing's side.

Then he grabbed the folder and opened it, carefully reading the contents of each page.

Looking at the usually steady minister, he seemed like a different person. Everyone vaguely guessed the contents of the document.

Two minutes later, Zhang Wanhe patted his thigh excitedly. When he raised his head, everyone saw tears in his minister's eyes.

“Comrades! The first stage of the Hundred Regiment War! We have achieved a major victory!”

After hearing this, the cafeteria burst into warm applause and cheers. Everyone hugged each other and shed tears of excitement.

Before Huanghe returned to the base area, the pressure on the Logistics Department was always great.

As a department that supplies various military supplies to frontline soldiers, comrades have always felt guilty for insufficient production capacity.

But now everything has changed. The Logistics Department can not only raise livestock to improve food for the troops, but also produce various new weapons.

Everything is moving in a good direction, and everyone is full of expectations for life.

Everyone in the cafeteria stood up in unison, and they applauded towards the Yellow River, expressing their respect for the most selfless deputy minister in the ministry.

Huang He stood up with a smile and saluted everyone.

“Victory belongs to each of us, comrades are all well done!”

　　————

After separating from his enthusiastic comrades, Huang He jogged back to the laboratory. He closed the door and sat at his desk, opened the folder and started reading from the beginning.

Compared with the Hundred Regiment War in my memory, the first stage has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In terms of time alone, the first phase of the original history took a full twenty days, of which the key task of the first ten days was to destroy the Japanese traffic lines and destroy the Zhengtai Road.

After the start of the action, the progress of troops at all levels was a bit slower than expected, and a lot of time was spent on attacking difficulties.

After all, the Eighth Route Army had a serious shortage of equipment and ammunition in history. From 1937 to the Hundred Regiment War, it fought the Japanese for almost three years, and the entire army consumed no more than 15 million rounds of ammunition.

This also includes the parts of reloading bullets and preserved fruits from the Kuhaha period.

Coupled with the lack of heavy weapons that can destroy gun towers and bunkers, large-scale battles such as Niangziguan, Jingxing Coal Mine, and Shinao Mountain were fought fiercely, and even every inch of the front required comrades to pay the price with their lives.

But the present time is different from the past.

With the arsenal of the system and the arsenal of the Logistics Department operating at full capacity, the three main forces replaced shotguns with cannons and became the Eighth Route Army's coveted weapon.

In order to stifle the nascent fear of insufficient firepower.

For the first phase of the attack plan alone, Huanghe prepared 10 million rounds of 7.5x54mm and 5 million Japanese-style German bullets for the troops.

This makes the three main infantrymen have an astonishing 150 rounds of rifle ammunition per capita. Not counting weapons, the weight of the bullets alone reaches about 3.5 kilograms.

Had it not been for the comrades in the Logistics Department who made new carrying equipment, it would not even be convenient for the soldiers in the frontline troops to carry it.

This level has surpassed the current Xiaori and Sandezi infantry, and is even comparable to the Chou Kingdom that participated in the war in the later period.

You must know that the M1 Garand used by the ugly national football team is a semi-automatic rifle.

Compared with the MAS-36 human-powered semi-automatic used by the Eighth Route Army, that thing consumes more bullets.

With sufficient ammunition and new weapons, the main force does not need to be restrained when performing tasks.

This resulted in most of the hard bones in history being eliminated by the soldiers on the night of the 20th.

Even after the first phase of the sabotage operation, the vast majority of the troops have begun to change their combat methods.

Not only has the ability to attack difficult situations been greatly enhanced, but also experience has been gained in fighting encounters and positional warfare.

As for the last ten days of the first stage in history, the three main forces were originally responsible for the enemy's counterattack.

Due to the strict confidentiality of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese knew almost nothing about the major military deployment of the troops.

This resulted in all communication between them being interrupted from the 20th to the 22nd, and they were in chaos.

But after the 23rd, the Japanese still came to their senses.

The master of swordsmanship, Yoshio Shinozuka, felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart by a knife. He sensed that this was a fatal blow and immediately thought of a way to rescue Shotaji.

But the problem came. The three independent mixed brigades of the First Army had been defeated one by one, and they were in a dilemma with no available troops.

The main force of Shinozuka Yoshio, the three B divisions are still placed near Nakajo Mountain.

By the time the Japanese support troops arrived on the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army had already begun to retreat.

Although the Japs caused a little trouble to the troops during those ten days, it was acceptable compared with the results achieved.

Now it's even better. The three main forces directly skipped the step of dealing with the Japanese counterattack, and achieved the first stage goal in just nine days.

Due to the speed at which the troops attacked and destroyed the enemy, the main Japanese force of the North China Front could not react at all.

The enemy's support troops were directly thrown into the air, and by the time they arrived on the battlefield, troops at all levels had already evacuated in an orderly manner.

However, after reading all the battle reports, Huang He was very dissatisfied with himself. He now particularly regrets not being able to take the time to practice his marksmanship after arriving in the world of bright swords.

If Makarov's transport team could be supported safely and effectively at that time, it would not have been a waste of several days in the headquarters hospital.

If you can arrive at the logistics department early to activate the system, there is a high probability that the troops will be equipped with a small number of heavy weapons in the first stage of the Hundred Regiment War.

For example, the battle report mentioned that the Japanese 110th Division sent a group of light armored convoys and a brigade of infantry to Jingxing for reinforcements.

Had it not been for the rapid destruction of Jingxing Coal Mine, Ding Wei's new regiment would definitely have suffered a big loss. After all, they had almost no anti-armor capabilities.

But it’s different if there are several SA34s. As long as they are maneuvered properly and their positions are well chosen, the light armored vehicles of the 110th Division will kill as many as they come.

Moreover, the aircraft of the Japanese North China Front Army are also a big trouble.

Although most of the bombers have been transferred to the southwest, the remaining fighters can also cause a lot of trouble to the base area. When Huang He saw Li Yunlong transformed into the Eighth Route Army Superman, he didn't know what to say.

There are many people who have the courage to do this, but not many people who shoot down a plane without incident.

If each army can be equipped with a certain amount of anti-aircraft guns, and even the Eighth Route Army can have fighter jets, then the problem will naturally be solved.

Huang He glanced at the decision tree in the system, then at the folder in his hand, and then said to himself with some melancholy: "There is still a long way to go."

But soon there were exciting results that made Huang He smile again, such as the casualty data on both the enemy and ourselves.

Compared with the original history, this item shocked Tada Shun for a whole year.

The original Hundred Regiment War in Huanghe's memory lasted for twenty days in the first phase. A total of 265 large and small battles took place, 91 Japanese and puppet strongholds were conquered, and more than 6,000 enemies were wiped out.

This time the Eighth Route Army has updated its weapons and equipment from top to bottom, and its combat effectiveness is much more fierce than before.

Although the battle lasted only nine days, the number of battles was as high as 437 and 132 strongholds were conquered.

The number of enemies annihilated fully doubled to 13,000. Even Li Yunlong's new second regiment and Ding Wei's new regiment even killed a Japanese major general each.

What is rare and valuable is that the casualties in this raid were acceptable.

Horsely, the Eighth Route Army suffered considerable losses, with as many as 4,200 casualties and more than 1,600 people poisoned.

The data reported now made Huang He smile from the bottom of his heart.

The number of casualties was less than 2,000. This was mainly because Katayama Shotarō launched a mad dog-style attack from the beginning, which caused the 385th to suffer a double attack from mountain artillery and fighter jets.

The number of people poisoned was 137, which was in sharp contrast to the original number of more than 1,600. This was because some soldiers did not use gas masks in accordance with regulations.

Moreover, this raid did not just cost money but made no money. The harvest in the first stage was not bad, which was an unexpected surprise for Huanghe.

In the preparation stage for the battle, the headquarters issued the slogan "Nothing left behind" to the troops at all levels, requiring that not a single railroad track, not a single sleeper be left, and not a single bridge be left behind.

Later, the local troops and militiamen who cooperated with the main force in the battle also added tunnels and telegraph poles to the original ones.

The soldiers strictly implemented the requirements of the headquarters and collected various materials during the battle. These materials can free up the production capacity of a private factory for Huanghe.

Even these messy things cannot be used by the military factory in the system.

However, after obtaining the arsenal area of the Logistics Department, comrades can completely reuse it and manufacture a certain number of rifles and light machine guns.

After reading the information in the entire folder, Huang He stood up and came to the window. He looked at the busy crowd outside and said from the bottom of his heart: "It's good now, but it will be better tomorrow."

　　——————

For the next whole day, Huang He devoted himself to theoretical study.

On May 20th, he received a complete set of information on the Katyusha rocket launcher and V2 rocket, as well as some information on the 401st Institute.

People in the laboratory have been studying these things for more than three months. Except for the knowledge of atomic energy, they have almost overcome all the difficulties of the two rockets.

As long as there are enough materials and equipment, Huang He is confident that he can lead a group of researchers to find out all the big treasures and provide relevant knowledge.

"East wind, huge waves, eagle strike, red flag, red arrow, red tassel, avant-garde, thunderbolt, sea eagle, how nice it sounds."

This time the Yellow River was a little swollen, and I even wanted to take some gentlemen named Qian back to the country in advance.

However, after calming down, he gave up the idea. After all, the current environment was not suitable yet, and even Jin and Yu provinces had not yet taken it back.

Just when he had sorted out all the information and was about to put it back on the bookshelf, the system in his mind suddenly became active.

“Ding! The host has new trait bonuses, please check back in time.”

This voice made Huang He a little puzzled, because he already had the trait.

The last time the brigade commander came to the Logistics Department to pick up artillery and send him a letter of appointment, there was already an additional "war industrialist".

Is it possible that the consultant traits in the Awakening the Brave Tiger system can be superimposed? Huang He was a little excited when he thought of this. After all, the bonus of any trait was very powerful.

At this stage, both "technocrats" and "industrial leaders" are rare terms.

The reason why I like "Industrial Leader" is because this trait has the bonus of an oil refinery, although the Eighth Route Army does not yet have armored units and aircraft.

However, aircraft are the next stage of Huanghe’s preparation decision. By then, relying solely on the production capacity of private factories in the system to replace oil will most likely not be enough.

What's more, there is a Yanchang Oil in the rear area, so we can't just leave the treasure unused.

The crude oil storage capacity there is ridiculously large. If it is developed well, it will definitely envy San Dezi and Xiaoli.

The reason why I like "Technocrat" is because this trait increases the speed of scientific research. Although this bonus is somewhat different from that in the game, it cannot immediately shorten the time to unlock scientific research projects.

But after Huang He's exploration, he found that the scientific research speed will take effect when the accumulated scientific research speed reaches 20%, which is a proper accumulation.

After 43 years, the development speed of the base area will reach a new level.

Just when he was about to open the system, a somewhat outrageous possibility suddenly appeared in his mind. This made Huang He couldn't help laughing. He touched his chin and said to himself:

"It can't be a "terrible giant". If you get this trait, SIR will come from the rear and kill me."

Putting away all kinds of conjectures, Huang He opened the system interface to check. He found that in the character interface, his photo was beating crazily, as if calling him.

After concentrating on clicking on his profile picture, Huang He found that he seemed to have something extraordinary.

Theorist: Yellow River

Rocket Scientist: When the rocket launch base is unlocked in the system, the speed of producing strategic missiles is +15%

Core science enthusiasts: When an apple tree is planted, the core production speed is +15%"

These two pieces made Huang He jump with joy.

The reason why I just ignored the possibility of theorists is because the red forces in the original game did not have these two related characters, only theorists on land, sea and air.

After all, both rockets and nuclear weapons were developed after 1949.

But now that he has these two qualities, he is completely confident that he can make friends with Miss Qiu before Chou Guo creates fat brothers and little boys.
