    Regarding the future planning of the army, Li Guoyao has only one idea, and that is to accumulate strength.

    His goal is to take these Northeast Army brothers back to their hometown. However, once the troops return to the Northeast, they will have to fight head-on with the powerful Kwantung Army. Not to mention whether the troops have the courage, the first thing to consider is whether the troops have enough strength.  Weapons, ammunition and food supplies.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Thousands of taels of gold, the soldiers and horses go ahead before the food and grass are used, this is the truth!

    Li Guoyao asked Huang Shang to give him a detailed inventory of the family background of the following troops. He originally thought that the troops had fought so many great victories in succession and had also seized a large amount of weapons, equipment and supplies, so they should be relatively wealthy.

    But the result is that there is plenty of food, enough for the entire army to eat for most of the year. If we wait until the autumn harvest and the harvest of the army's fields, the army will not be short of rations from this year to next year.

    In addition, everything is lacking. Inventories such as cooking oil, salt, and cloth are very limited, and the troops are also short of meat and vegetables.

    These are easy to solve, after all, most of these things are not included in the ranks of strategic materials, and you can always buy them if you have money.

    But weapons, equipment and ammunition are a troublesome matter. Although the army has seized a large number of weapons and equipment, there are too many new recruits in the army. Even if all the weapons in stock are distributed, they can barely fully arm the previously formed guard regiment. Most of them  The county brigade, district squad and militia are still without weapons.

    There is also ammunition. There are currently 70,000 to 80,000 regular troops plus local troops in the Suichai area. Even if each person is only equipped with 30 rounds of ammunition, the total number of rounds of ammunition is two to three million.

    ¡°After a battle, thirty rounds of ammunition are not enough. Therefore, if the troops want to fight back to their hometown in Northeast China, the first problem they must solve is the reserve of materials, weapons, equipment and ammunition.

    Li Guoyao made three preparations for this matter. The first was to seize the time to produce.

    In this battle, the troops captured a medium-sized arsenal of the Japanese army in Guisui. Although it could only produce rifles, machine guns and various types of bullets, but not artillery and artillery shells, its production capacity was good.

    Immediately, Li Guoyao asked the troops to take over the entire arsenal and work overtime for production.

    In addition, the arsenal in Sumushan is also producing at full capacity. Li Guoyao's request is that before the end of 1942, the army must at least replace all new units with new guns, and no militiamen can be allowed to go to the battlefield with bare hands.

    According to this requirement, the army must produce at least 30,000 long guns and 1,000 light and heavy machine guns within five months.

    In addition, at least 200 million rounds of ammunition and no less than 30 million grenades must be stockpiled. Only in this way can the troops have the ability to advance eastward.

    Of course, you can¡¯t just rely on your own production, you have to rely on purchasing!

    "According to Li Guoyao's instructions, Yun Lisa gradually reduced her business in Chongqing. She also returned to the Yun family in the name of a relative. Then she exchanged a large amount of funds for various materials in Xi'an and transported them to Datong via northwest Shanxi.

    In addition, the printing house headed by Huang Shang was working at full capacity to print Japanese military tickets. Together with a large number of seized counterfeit Japanese yen, they were quietly transported to Zhangjiakou, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan and other places, and all these counterfeit coins were exchanged.  The supplies are being shipped back to Datong.

    Li Guoyao is relatively candid about the production and use of counterfeit coins, because this disgusting method was invented by the Japanese themselves from the beginning.

    According to the seized documents, in order to plunder China's strategic materials and simultaneously attack and disrupt China's economy, the Japanese army established a special agency to manufacture counterfeit currency, and also set up agencies to issue and print counterfeit currency in occupied areas.

    The Japanese military calls the secret activity of counterfeiting legal currency "Sugi Work", and the secret agency that carries out the counterfeiting of legal currency in Shanghai is called "Sugi Agency", with Okada Yoshimasa, the eighth section of the General Staff Headquarters, concurrently serving as the agency director.

    This plan is called the "Economic Strategy Implementation Plan for China" and is personally responsible for Japan's Chief of Staff and Minister of War.

    According to records, the task of counterfeiting legal currency is undertaken by the Japanese Army's Ninth Scientific Research Institute.

    Kenzo Yamamoto, the director of the institute, went to East China and Central China to inspect the circulation of legal currency, wrote the "French Currency Strategy Work Plan", proposed the idea of ??counterfeiting legal currency, and obtained the approval of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters.

    At first, the Japanese army only selected the smaller 5-yuan legal currency as a target, and printed hundreds of thousands of yuan in finished products.

    However, when this batch of counterfeit currency arrived in China, they were shocked by the news that this 5-yuan legal currency was already obsolete in China.

    Later, they forged a large number of copies of the China Agricultural Bank of China.??Counterfeit low-denomination currency and purchased large amounts of supplies from China.

    With the Japanese victory on the battlefield, the Japanese army seized many machines for making legal currency.  Even in Hong Kong, they seized a batch of 10-yuan banknotes and money printing machines issued by the Central Bank of China.

    According to incomplete statistics, from 1939 to 1945, Japan produced a total of 4 billion yuan in counterfeit legal tender.

    Since the Japanese can make forgeries, there is nothing the Chinese can't do. So after Handan seized the Japanese military printing machine, Li Guoyao has been ordering the logistics department to work overtime to print those military stamps.

    So far, the total value has exceeded the face value of 50 million.

    "These military tickets were secretly circulated to enemy-occupied areas through the intelligence department and exchanged for various materials.

    ¡°But compared with the Japanese army¡¯s ¡°Shan Agency¡±, Li Guoyao¡¯s department needed to be improved both in scale and efficiency. Therefore, after conquering Datong, Li Guoyao personally asked Lu Guohua, the leader of the Sixth Special Service Group, to take charge of this matter.

    All in all, the main task of the troops right now is to accumulate strength at all costs, and then wait for the opportunity to fight back to their hometown in Northeast China!

    Dividing line

    And just when Li Guoyao's troops were busy solving the shortage of supplies, the Japanese army made another big move, and this time the Japanese army targeted Yunnan, China's southwest rear area!

    After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army made great progress. After conquering the Philippines and Malaysia, and taking control of Thailand, the Japanese army began to march into Burma, led by Masao Watanabe's 56th Division.

    After the division occupied Lashio, the railway terminus in northeastern Myanmar, on April 29, it ordered Major General Shizuo Sakaguchi, commander of the 56th Infantry Brigade, to lead the 146th Regiment and its affiliated units to prepare for an attack on Yunnan, China, and to control the area west of the Nu River.

    I ordered the division to search for the commander of the regiment, Colonel Hirai Usuke, and led his troops to set off first, heading north from Lashio, along Xinwei, Gukai, and Nampaca on the highway, and entered the Nankan and Ruili River areas near the border with my country. , conduct a search and attack, and advance towards Bhamo to support the northward attack of the 55th Division in the middle.

    The Pingjing Maopu search regiment set off north from Lashio on April 30. This was the third time that the regiment served as the advance team of the division since the attack on Burma.

    Lashio is the terminal point of the railway for transporting military supplies to Yunnan, China. From there, go north and pass about 130 kilometers of highway to Wanding, a border town in Yunnan, China.

    When the Japanese search team attacked northward, they found piles of gasoline barrels and various supplies in the dense forests near the road from time to time.

    When they arrived in the Xinwei and Gukai areas, they were blocked by the 66th Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Hirai led his troops to attack from the front and use roundabout tactics to advance steadily.

    In order to seize the bridge on the Ruili River west of Nankan, they moved quickly overnight, and at dawn on May 3, they invaded Nankan Town from the east, and then continued to move westward quickly.

    When they arrived at the bridgehead, the defenders blocked it with firepower, but did not connect the detonation circuits of the explosive packages placed on the bridge.

    After the Japanese search team arrived at the bridgehead, they immediately organized firepower to suppress the defenders on the other side, covering their armored vehicles and infantry as they forced their way through. After Hirai and his troops rushed onto the bridge, they immediately cut off many wires when they found them, so the bridge was not bombed.

    After Hirai's troops crossed the bridge, they attacked Manwen, not far to the west.

    At this time, Major General Shizuo Sakaguchi¡¯s 56th Infantry Regiment, which was attacking Yunnan, China, had followed Usuke Hirai¡¯s search team and arrived at the Myanmar-China border.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
