Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 218: Ready to Occupy Northeast

Yanjing has always been Zhang Ling's focus.

The main reason is that Yanjing has not been occupied yet.

Yanjing also includes Tianjin, Shanguan and other places.

They are all very important territories of Yanxia Kingdom.

Moreover, once you get out of the mountain pass you will reach the Northeast.

The land there is fertile and there is a lot of heavy industry.

If we can take over the Northeast.

Although the heavy industry may not be as good as that in the Central Plains.

But at least it is one of the best in the country.

Moreover, to be honest, the urbanization process in Northeast China is still very high after being occupied by the Japanese for such a long time.

In that case, it is naturally even more necessary to handle things properly.

Originally, Zhang Ling planned to occupy Yanjing and directly attack the Northeast on his own.

After all, even the commander-in-chief may not have the ability to attack now.

Moreover, the commander-in-chief had been shot in the previous Pingguan battle and had gone to the northern Russian country to recuperate.

Therefore, if we want to attack the Northeast, there will be no problem for my First Army to move north with all its strength.

But now, with Zhang Ling's help, most of the National Salvation Army has been equipped with weapons.

In addition, heavy and light industries in several provinces were quickly established and put into production.

This means that other units of the National Salvation Army now have the ability to attack the Northeast.

Therefore, Zhang Ling felt that he might as well take over the Jiangnan region.

That's the right way.

Anyway, the Northeast is now in our hands, and the defeat of the Japanese is only a matter of time.

The most important thing is to train the navy now and then attack the Japanese homeland.

After hearing what Zhang Ling said, Li Yunlong said, "Now the Japanese in Yanjing have increased their troops to 30."

"30?" Zhang Ling frowned. "How can it be so much?"

"The Japanese have now increased their Northeast Army from their base camp to 200 million soldiers."

"The Northeastern Army alone has 120 million garrisons in the Northeast, while the other 80 are distributed in Shanguan, Yanjing, Tianjin and other places."

"Fortunately, the Japanese garrison in Tianjin only has a few warships, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong."

"Also, our troops stationed in the north have now begun to switch to the air force."

"Our planes can also attack enemy warships, so these Japanese warships are not a big threat to us."

"I have to thank you, Commander Zhang, for this." Li Yunlong said happily.

Obviously, the emergence of the National Salvation Army Air Force has greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the National Salvation Army.

Zhang Ling smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's mainly because of our overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia who are so helpful."

"Anyway, we don't need to worry about anything now. We have planes, tanks, and warships."

"I'm afraid the occupation of the Northeast will depend on you. I will be responsible for occupying the Jiangnan area and attacking the Japanese homeland."

"These Japs have caused our Yanxia country to lose so much economic value. Now it's time for us to ask them for some interest." Zhang Ling said.

Kong Jie also nodded repeatedly: "Commander Zhang is right."

"It seems that our National Salvation Army has completed the re-equipment of the entire army, and it is just around the corner to attack and defeat the Japanese."

"When the time comes, if Commander Zhang wants to land on the Japanese mainland, if possible, I hope Commander Zhang can bring my Kong Jie's troops with him."

"If I can, definitely."

The four of them also laughed.

Because the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle was ordered to come here to study and observe.

Therefore, Zhang Ling also had someone entertain them well.

Wait until about half a month has passed.

Li Yunlong and others then went back.

Zhang Ling continued to carry out his arrangements and tasks step by step.

Today, the Japanese troops in the entire Jiangnan region have increased to 300 million.

It can almost be said that 90% of the Japanese soldiers in their homeland have been mobilized.

The remaining number is estimated to be only a few hundred thousand stationed on the mainland.

Most likely they are used to train new recruits.

If in the past, 300 million Japanese invaders had entered Yanxia Country, it would probably have brought a sense of despair to the entire Yanxia Country's resistance army.

But it's different now.

Now all the people of Yanxia Country know it clearly.

The Japanese are basically at the end of their strength.

There can't be any chance.

Not to mention anything else, the National Salvation Army has now occupied most of the entire Yanxia Country.

Although there are still places like Yanjing and the Northeast in the north that have not been occupied.

We, the Japanese, are well aware that we are probably no match for the National Salvation Army.

After several battles, with heavy losses.

The Japanese simply started to slack off.

In addition, a large number of National Salvation Army staff were released.

The purpose is also to exchange for smaller settlement in the future.

As for the people in the occupied areas, the Japanese basically did not harm them.

Anyway, just turn a blind eye.

Then the local people finally didn’t have to worry about being killed by the Japanese.

Even eating rice doesn’t have to worry about being an economic crime.

Therefore, in this regard, the people of Yanxia Kingdom are actually better off.

As for the Jiangnan area.

Basically, only the Japanese troops stationed in Jiankang and those who had attacked Jiankang were trembling in fear.

All the Japanese who have fought against the First Army know this.

If you have not attacked Jiankang or have not been to Jiankang, then you probably could survive by begging for mercy.

But I'm sorry to hear that anyone who has attacked Jiankang or been to Jiankang has done so.

To put it bluntly.

It’s not a question of whether you can survive.

Instead, you just wait to die.

Moreover, the First Army also spread the word.

If you dare to escape back to your homeland, we will bomb your homeland until there is no one left.

It just so happens that the National Salvation Army’s air force is also very powerful.

The Japanese warships have begun to bombard the waters around Yanxia Country continuously.

Another thing is to bomb the Japanese homeland.

Moreover, the National Salvation Army's naval fleet is now gradually taking shape.

Now the Japanese were at a loss.

If we do this, there is no way we can win.

If you don't handle this well, you will basically be pinned to the ground and beaten.

Even if you want to do something, it's probably impossible.

Therefore, the Japanese are now basically staying in their bases in the Jiangnan region and not coming out.

To the extent that up to now, the National Salvation Army has simply appeared in many cities in the Jiangnan region in a swaggering manner.

But because the navy has not been fully trained.

Therefore, Zhang Ling only asked the soldiers of the First Army to occupy the surrounding villages, towns and county towns first.

After all, the Japanese had completely abandoned these places.

Then the remaining big cities will belong to you and will not be occupied by you for the time being.

Anyway, it's here and can't run away.

Wait until the People's Navy's First Fleet is thoroughly trained.

That's when it comes to the performance of the First Army.

When necessary, after occupying the Jiangnan region, we can also go north to help the National Salvation Army in the Northeast occupy the Northeast.
