    With the storage of a large amount of ammunition, Zhou Weiguo began to feel more confident.  Especially the arrival of the first air force regiment made Zhou Weiguo feel more confident.

    Some people may say that the Zero fighter aircraft equipped by the Air Force is lagging behind.

    In fact, this fighter plane was a famous aircraft throughout World War II. It has a combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, a light and flexible fuselage, and excellent hovering performance. It can be said that in terms of hovering performance, it has  Its performance can be ranked among the top among the entire World War II fighter aircraft.

    Of course, when it comes to shortcomings, it also has a lot of shortcomings.

    The armor is weak, the body structure is not strong enough, the high-altitude combat performance is almost zero, and the dive performance is very unsatisfactory.

    Although he had many flaws, he was more than capable of dealing with the Japanese aircraft of this period.

    At this time, the large-scale aircraft equipped by the Japanese army were still Nakajima Type 91 fighters. Their Nakajima Type 97 fighters had just been finalized and were still being manufactured at the airport, and they had not yet been equipped with their troops.

    Therefore, this Type Zero can completely defeat the Japanese army. I just don¡¯t know what the Japanese army will do after knowing that this Type Zero was originally their fighter plane, but now it is used by Zhou Weiguo to beat them.  feelings.

    The stationing of the first air force regiment gave Zhou Weiguo a lot of confidence. Even if the little devil built an airport on the land of China, he would not be afraid anymore.

    Although an air force was stationed, this was obviously not what Zhou Weiguo wanted. He continued to expand the airport and at the same time transported and stored large quantities of aviation fuel, ammunition and other military supplies.  Once the war starts, there will be no need to waste manpower going to the riverside or other places to receive military supplies every night.

    When Zhou Weiguo was storing ammunition, he was still building roads on a large scale.

    That is to say, building cement roads. Zhou Weiguo knew very well what his advantages were against the Japanese army.

    Firepower!  Yes, it¡¯s the firepower advantage!  The firepower of his Eighty-Eighth Group Army is countless times that of the Japanese army.  In every battle, the weak firepower of the Japanese army was beaten to the ground by its own troops, unable to move.

    But behind the price of pursuing firepower is the extremely high logistics requirements.

    There is no air transportation now. As for the Jinpu railway line, it is only so short. This railway line completely passes through our own territory.  It is even impossible to rely on this railway line to maintain its own logistics supplies.

    So in this case, Zhou Weiguo decided to use trucks to transport it.  So he built cement roads while transporting weapons and ammunition to various places.

    Fortunately, he is located in the Lianghuai area. The terrain here is flat. The only drawback is that there are many water systems, but it is still easy to build roads.  He does not need to build roads that can withstand dozens of tons like later generations, he only needs his own trucks that can pull heavy artillery and run.

    In order to speed up the process, Zhou Weiguo extracted a large amount of cash, grain and other things from the system, and used these things to recruit farmers.

    But strangely enough, these farmers could choose to pay their wages in cash or grain, but most of them chose grain.

    In fact, this is normal. Now that the war has broken out, food is the most important thing. This money may start to depreciate.

    It was when Zhou Weiguo spent a lot of money and food that the transportation between Huainan, Bengfu, Changfeng, Dingyuan, and Mingguang began to greatly improve.  This also made Zhou Weiguo breathe a sigh of relief.

    As time passed, Japanese divisions began to land in Shanghai one by one and entered Yangzhou, Nanjing, Chuzhou and other places, looking like they were preparing to besiege the 88th Group Army.

    Although they made a show, they had no plans to besiege Zhou Weiguo for the time being, because the Japanese base camp not only increased troops to central China, but also began to increase troops on a large scale in North China.

    Historically, the Battle of Xuzhou was the result of a joint operation between the North China Expeditionary Army and the Central China Expeditionary Army. The goal was to open up the Jinpu Railway line and occupy the strategic location of Xuzhou.  But things are different now. The Central China Dispatch Army was devoured by Zhou Weiguo for three divisions in the Huainan area, and was no longer able to move northward in a short period of time.

    Therefore, the North China Expeditionary Force had to fight the fifth theater alone. Under this situation, the Japanese base camp began to increase the strength of the North China Expeditionary Army, and at the same time, logistics supplies were also tilted here. This is why the Japanese reinforcements arrived in Central China.  One reason why there was no rush to attack.

    The Japanese army did not attack, but it brought a benefit to Zhou Weiguo.

    That means a large number of people began to enterEntered the jurisdiction of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army.

    Since the Japanese army entered the land of China, they have committed burning, killing, looting, and torture, which has long made many Chinese people afraid. Now wherever the Japanese army is stationed, as long as they are not in the city occupied by the Japanese army, they have begun to run to the Eighty-Eighth Group Army in search of safety.  Protect.  After all, Zhou Weiguo's record of annihilating three Japanese divisions during this period was still very impressive, which made many people think that it was safe to follow the Eighty-eighth Army.

    The influx of a large number of people also made Zhou Weiguo feel that the manpower under his command began to increase.  The Lianghuai region itself is a prosperous land in China with a large population. It is in the interests of Zhou Weiguo to have an influx of people now.

    During this period, he conducted such large-scale conscription, recruited civilians to build airports, build roads, etc., all of which require manpower!

    And Zhou Weiguo was busy with another thing besides the above things, which was to equip a weapon with more powerful firepower.

    According to Zhou Weiguo¡¯s idea, if the infantry division under his command is fully equipped, he must be able to single-handedly challenge a Japanese standing division and be able to eat up the Japanese standing division.  In this way, in order to reduce casualties, the only option is to increase the output of large firepower.

    And if you want to increase the output of firepower, the best weapon is the German general-purpose machine gun.

    mg34 and mg42, these two general-purpose machine guns.

    After Zhou Weiguo entered the system, he found that there was only mg34 among the general machine gun options, and there was no mg42 with better performance. The reason given by the system was that the host's army was too small and the territory was too small.  The mg42 general machine gun is temporarily not unlocked.

    Although there is no universal machine gun with such ferocious firepower as the mg42, for Zhou Weiguo, the mg34 is also fine.  The firing rate of the mg34 general-purpose machine gun is also not low. The combat firing rate of 900 rounds per minute is enough to beat the Japanese army like a dog.

    And from a practical point of view, Zhou Weiguo's logistics support is not that good now, and it is more practical to use mg34.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
