    There is no progress in the international war situation, and the domestic situation is similar.

    In terms of the national army, since the first battle of northern Burma and the battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the national army of more than one million has completely become a shrinking turtle.  The war zones bordering the Japanese-occupied areas are desperately strengthening the city defenses in the peripheral areas and building defense lines at various strategic points, which is likely to turn China's great rivers and mountains into defensive positions. Among them, Xue Yue has done the most  Thoroughly, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, after the third Changsha battle, mobilized more than 100,000 troops, recruited more than 30,000 strong men, and used a huge amount of supplies.  It took several months to build and excavate a large number of bunkers and trenches, turning central Hunan into an impregnable fortress.

    The actions of the national army are completely reasonable. After all, the casualties of hundreds of thousands of troops in the third theater and the loss of the 100,000 elite expeditionary forces brought together by the whole country have completely frightened all the senior officials and generals of the national government.  It also made them realize clearly that even with the aid of weapons and ammunition provided by Godfather Sam, there is still a huge gap between the Central Army and the Japanese Army. In addition, those red heads in the ravines in northern Shaanxi have become  Restless, so Tuzuo put away the blind optimism caused by the victory of the third Changsha battle, and continued to implement the negative strategy of "accumulating strength and developing steadily".

    In the view of this Jiang, since the United States joined the battle group, the Japanese army has been a grasshopper after autumn, and it will not be able to jump for a few days, so what he has to do now is to rely on the weapons and equipment aided by the United States to form a large number of elite troops.  The army was used to prevent those red-headed "hearts of disobedience" after the war. As for the Japanese army?  It's better to wait until Godfather Sam is pushed from the Pacific Ocean to the Japanese mainland, and then come out to pick peaches.

    The national army was passively defensive, and the Japanese army did not make any major moves at this stage.  This is because the equipment and materials lost and consumed by the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army during the May 1st raid, the third Changsha Battle, and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Battle have not been replenished.  The defeated army has been determined. In order to prevent the US military from continuing to advance westward, attacking the absolute defense circle, and posing a threat to the Japanese mainland, the Japanese cabinet decided to transfer veterans with rich combat experience from the Chinese dispatched army to join the Southern Army sequence and enter the small islands in the Pacific Ocean.  , for defensive preparations.

    And the vacant quota will be supplemented by newly recruited soldiers from the country.  Now is not the time when the war just broke out. As the scale of the war continued to expand and the front line continued to stretch, the Japanese army, which already had more than 2 million troops, had already exhausted its military reserves.  A year ago, they had all been recruited.  The soldiers currently recruited by the Japanese army are either employees of the right age, workers, or farmers.  These people were honest civilians before, and the short three-month recruit training basically taught them how to hold and shoot guns.  Not to mention the extremely technical bayonet fight, some people may not even be able to hold the gun steadily.

    It is conceivable that with such additional troops, let alone a large-scale battle, how to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops to the previous level in a short period of time is enough for the Japanese generals to have a headache.

    However, the Japanese army, which has always pursued aggressiveness, certainly would not do nothing.  Okamura Ningji, a war madman, is brewing a large-scale battle plan.  There are two main reasons why he did this. One is that compared with the Central China Front Army, the North China Front Army suffered less losses in previous battles. All Japanese troops except the Shandong 12th Army, even after some veterans were transferred away,  The number of its veterans and equipment and supplies are also sufficient for a large-scale battle.

    The second point, and the most important one, stems from Gangcun Ningci's worries about the Eighth Route Army.  Although his views on the Eighth Route Army.  Both the emperor and the cabinet considered it alarmist and nonsense.  But Ningji Okamura, who knows the power and performance of those new weapons, clearly realized that once the Eighth Route Army has completed the refitting, this peasant army will surely surpass the Central Army and become the number one enemy of the Japanese army, causing unimaginable pressure on the Japanese army.  .  It may even affect the size of their occupied area.

    As the saying goes, it is necessary to destroy the enemy as early as possible, so Okamura Ningji wanted to completely eliminate this hidden danger for His Majesty the Emperor, for the glory of the Japanese Empire, and for the great cause of the holy war before the strength of the Eighth Route Army really skyrocketed.

    However, what Gangcun Ningci didn't expect was that the Eighth Route Army, which likes to take the initiative to make trouble, hadn't taken any action in the past few months.  Except for those militiamen who bombed a few strongholds and robbed food requisition teams and patrol teams.  From Shanxi to Shandong, all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army in the entire North China region have completely stopped in the past few months. Let alone large-scale combat power, they are battalions.There are no ambushes in the world.

    The so-called abnormality must be a monster, and Gangcun Ningci was worried that the Eighth Route Army would make another big move.  Quickly ordered the intelligence department to thoroughly investigate the cause.  This time, the intelligence department of the Japanese army played its due level, and news came back soon, but it turned out that Gangcun was even more confused-it turns out that the reason why the Eighth Route Army has not taken any action recently is because they have different bases and different areas.  Most of the main forces of the military region were withdrawn and returned to northern Shaanxi.  Moreover, it is said that these troops were transferred back because the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region is undergoing great development and there is a shortage of manpower.

    Neji Okamura, who didn't know that the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region was vigorously developing agriculture, was stunned when he heard the news. He said to himself, "Why did these red-headed people suddenly go back to their old jobs? They ran back without fighting a good battle.  Have you cultivated land in northern Shaanxi? But even if they go back to farm, is there so much land in the flat-bottomed northern Shaanxi for them to cultivate?"

    Although he couldn't figure it out, Commander Gangcun didn't get too entangled in this issue.  Without the troubles of the Eighth Route Army, he could just carry out that large-scale battle plan.  As long as this plan can be implemented and progresses smoothly, it will be useless even if the Eighth Route Army has any conspiracy.

    So under the order of Ningji Okamura, although the units of the North China Front Army did not take any action on the surface, they were actively preparing for the battle in secret.  Sharpen the knife quickly, ready to give the Eighth Route Army a fatal blow.

    ? In fact, the Eighth Route Army really didn¡¯t have any conspiracies or tricks. What they played was a conspiracy. They withdrew those troops completely for the purpose of changing their outfits, training, and reorganizing.  As the saying goes, weapons and equipment are the first combat power. Only with good equipment can we destroy the enemy better and more.

    It is conceivable that when the Eighth Route Army equipped with new weapons and equipment returns to the battlefield, it will be the beginning of the Japanese nightmare.

    ? In addition to changing the army's equipment, many major events have been done in Yan'an in the past few months.  And it can be said that everything is a great joy.

    The first big happy event is naturally oil.  With the help of those American oil and gas experts, after several months of hard work, the drilling team finally drilled the first self-flowing well in the Wuqi area of ??Wuqi County, Yan'an North Road.  The black column of oil sprayed up several meters high means that the days when there were only a few artesian oil wells in our country are gone forever.  At the same time, it also means that the red regime has officially opened the door to an industrial power.  After all, oil is the foundation of the modern industrial system.  Only with its own oil fields can it have the capital to build a complete industrialization system.

    This well was just the beginning, and soon the drilling team drilled 5 more oil wells in this area according to the area provided by Li Hui, and all of them were self-flowing wells.  .  After commissioning and technical improvement, the daily output of the first oil well has stabilized at 320 tons, which is possible, but looking at this figure, it doesn¡¯t make much sense.  But what if I want to tell you that China's annual oil production will reach 10,000 tons in 1941?

    In other words, these six oil wells alone have increased China's oil production by more than 30 times.  How about it?  Isn't it exciting?

    Then, the drilling team successively drilled more than a dozen oil wells in Ansai and Zichang.  Although not all of them are self-painted, the daily output is more than 100 tons.  In addition, the oil wells in Yanchang County have been pressurized by water injection and their daily production has increased to more than 40 tons.  Yan'an's daily oil output has exceeded 3,000 tons.  In terms of year, the annual output is 1 million tons.  Although this is still far from the annual output in units of 100 million in later generations of our country.  But this number is enough for our country to completely throw the hat of an oil-poor country into the garbage dump of history.

    It is worth mentioning that an interesting thing happened during the drilling of wells one after another.  After the first oil well was drilled, Dr. Ford immediately proposed to the Prime Minister that he wanted to sign an oil sales agreement with the Yan'an government on behalf of ExxonMobil, and wanted to exchange advanced oil refining equipment for the right to sell the extracted oil.

    The reason why Dr. Ford made this suggestion was because he saw a good opportunity to make money. As a friend of President Roosevelt, he knew that the US government wanted to allow the Chongqing government to drag nearly one million Japanese troops on the battlefield in China.  And had to keep supporting it.  With all the ports along the coast of China and the Burma Road blocked by the Japanese army, the United States could only transport supplies through the hump route.  At that time, the carrying capacity of the aircraft was very small. Even the carrying capacity of the C47 transport aircraft known as the sky train was only 5 and a half tons. In order to meet the greedy needs of the bald man, the United States had to use hundreds of C47 transport aircraft.  , Day and night to deliver these supplies.  In the case that China does not produce oil, the aviation fuel consumed by these planes needs to be transported from the United States. The freight plus the consumption on the way, the cost of transporting these fuels to China is already close to ten times the market price.  And if the U.S. government is told at this time that China has developed an oil field and is capable of providing them with enough aviation fuel, I believe the price is five times the market price at a high level, and the U.S. government will be happy to accept it.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)The government will also be happy to accept it.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
