Anti-Japanese War: Red Alert Base, I am the Power

In Jinzhou Industrial Zone, after more than a month of hard work by the Construction Corps, many factories have been completed, and various production equipment has been transported in by trucks.

Among them, cement plants, brick plants, stone plants, glass plants, etc. are the main ones.

The brick plant was the first to go into production, and now it is even ready to start.

At present, Jinzhou Industrial Zone has issued a recruitment notice.

The monthly salary of ordinary workers can even reach 15 yuan a month.

For the Northeast, this monthly salary can be said to be very good.

Although in big cities such as Shanghai and Wuhan, textile women workers can earn 30 yuan a month.

But after all, it is only so high in big cities.

15 yuan a month can make a family live well.

The purchasing power is still very good.

At present, in Jinzhou, the price of Northeast rice is two cents per catty.

These 15 yuan can buy 750 catties of rice.

Even for pork, one yuan can buy 6 catties of good pork.

Although 15 yuan is not very high, it is already very conscientious.

For the wages of major factories in the industrial zone.

Jiang Fan did not interfere too much.

He just asked them not to be below the average level.

Everything can be left to the government to macro-control.

The completion and production of these factories still made Jiang Fan excited.

Although these factories are not very eye-catching, they are the starting point of the industry in Northeast China and even the entire China. However, this inconspicuousness is what Jiang Fan saw.

Take the cement factory, which is what is called cement in the interior.

The current annual output of this thing in the interior is less than one million tons.

The factory built by Jiang Fan has more advanced equipment.

The annual output reaches 3 million tons.

It is almost three times the cement output in the interior.

This output is not enough at present.

We have to continue to expand production. At least 10 million tons is needed.

Because after solving the problem of money,

Jiang Fan will make drastic investments in the infrastructure of Northeast China.

Especially roads.

Several provincial roads will be built to connect provinces and cities.

And Shenyang needs to be rebuilt.

A lot of cement is needed.

The time for the commissioning of cement plants, brick plants, glass plants, and stone plants can be said to be just right, and the reconstruction of Shenyang has just begun.

At least there is no need to go to the interior to buy various raw materials.

After Jiang Fan inspected these factories, he came to the Northeast Iron and Steel Plant, which he valued the most.

In the plan, the Northeast Iron and Steel Plant will put into production 8 iron-making blast furnaces with an annual output of 2.2 million tons.

There are a total of 12 small-capacity oxygen top-blown converters with an annual steel output of 1 million tons.

The scale of the Northeast Iron and Steel Plant is not large, and the reason why it can produce a high output of 1 million tons is mainly due to the advanced oxygen top-blown converter.

Compared with the current mainstream open-hearth furnace, the steelmaking efficiency has been greatly improved.

It usually takes 7 hours, or 420 minutes, for an open-hearth furnace to smelt a furnace of molten steel. It only takes 10 minutes to smelt a furnace in an oxygen top-blown converter.

The efficiency has increased by more than 40 times.

For the future development of Northeast China, an annual output of 1 million tons is definitely not enough.

But this is only the first phase of the project.

But it takes about two years for this 1 million ton steel plant to be built and put into production.

At present, we can only continue to buy steel in the Red Alert Base.

Although it is very cheap, even cheaper than the steel we make ourselves, it gives people a sense of unease.

In addition to this Northeastern Steel Plant,

Jiang Fan also plans to build a large steel base in Benxi.

The annual output of this base is designed to be 15 million tons of pig iron and more than 5 million tons of steel.

It is expected to take about 4 years to be put into production.

The second phase of the project is designed to produce more than 10 million tons per year.

During the Second Industrial Revolution, steel is a symbol of a country's comprehensive strength.

For example, Japan now produced only about 2.6 million tons of steel last year.

The annual output of the steel plant built by Jiang Fan can reach one-third of the annual output of steel in Japan.

It can also be seen that the output of this steel plant is not low.

As for the interior of the country, there is no need to compare.

The annual output is only 150,000 tons.

A country with a population of 400 million has an annual steel output of only tens of thousands of tons.

Who else can the Japanese fight if they don't fight you?

In addition to these factories that have been put into production.

There are still a large number of communist factories under construction.

For example, fertilizer plants, soap factories, match factories, clothing factories, daily chemical factories, alkali factories, bicycle factories, motorcycle factories, tractor factories, automobile production bases, fuel engine factories, etc.

These factories involve multiple types of light and heavy industries, reaching more than 60 subcategories.

If all these factories are put into production.

Jinzhou's industrial development will be very prosperous.

It will become one of the industrial towns in the Northeast.

However, the focus of industrial construction in the Northeast is still on the three major cities of Shenyang, Changchun and Harbin.

Because these three cities have natural advantages in industrial development.

The railway network in the Northeast is almost built around these three cities.

The transportation is very developed.

Speaking of this transportation.

Jiang Fan also plans to develop the civil aviation market in the Northeast.

It has been planned to build civil aviation markets in several major cities such as Jinzhou, Shenyang, Chengde, Chifeng, Changchun, Harbin, and Qiqihar.

Although at the beginning, the people had no money in their pockets and the market might be very bad.

But with the development of industry, more and more people may choose to fly.

And the sooner the civil aviation market is developed, the better.

Anyway, there is no shortage of aircraft and technology.

It would be best to take advantage of this opportunity to open up routes to other forces.

The purpose of doing so is naturally not to drink.

As Li Zongren began to take over the work, several mechanized infantry divisions attacked the remaining forces in the territory.���

The situation has stabilized a lot.

Jiang Fan can finally spare some time to deal with the issues in the south.

At the same time, other troops are gathering towards Yingkou.

When the situation is completely stabilized, we can start to attack Lushun.

As for the Japanese soldiers' continuous reinforcement of Lushun, he didn't take it too seriously.

Lushun is only this big.

No matter how many Japanese soldiers come, they are just delivering food.

On the contrary, he is happy to see it happen.

It would be best if there were 200,000 or 300,000.

After wiping them out in one fell swoop, the mission goal can be almost achieved.

But we can't let the Japanese soldiers have it so easy.

After the 8 submarines lay dormant for a while, the Japanese search intensity in the Yellow Sea has been reduced a lot.

Now it's time to let the underwater wolf pack go out again.

Jiang Fan's order to them was:"As long as they are flying the Japanese flag, we should attack them directly if we are sure.

Don't let go of even a fishing boat of a hundred tons.

We have plenty of torpedoes and are not afraid of wasting them.

Considering the performance of the Akula submarine, this period of time is probably enough to give the Japanese navy a headache.

Especially after the dozens of newly built submarines are put into service.

Not to mention the Yellow Sea, perhaps Tokyo Bay is not safe.

Jiang Fan has now set his sights on the Japanese Combined Fleet stationed in Hong Kong.

After these submarines are put into service, we must go and take a look.

We can't always be passive and take the initiative.

For example, attacking ports, laying mines, etc.

""Form two motorized infantry divisions."

Jiang Fan opened the interface of the Guangxi sub-base and began to skillfully recruit troops.

After these days of accumulation, the funds in his current account returned to more than 10 million.

It only costs about 2 million to form a motorized infantry division, and two divisions only cost 5 million.

Now it is not a big deal.

Then Jiang Fan contacted Lin Shi and Bai Chongxi.

""A counterattack will be launched in a week, and the 300,000 national army will be completely defeated."

After receiving the order, Lin Shi and Bai Chongxi began to prepare for the counterattack seven days later.

During these seven days, a major event also occurred in southern Hunan.

The 300,000-strong army has been attacking the Guangxi clique for a long time, but it has a feeling that it is getting stronger and stronger. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

This feeling is indeed correct.

Because the Guangxi clique is also constantly expanding its army.

At present, the total strength of the entire Guangxi army has reached about 100,000.

Although there are many new recruits.

But the battlefield is a shortcut for new recruits to become veterans.[]

Of course, this shortcut is full of blood and death.

The more the Guangxi clique fought, the more casualties it suffered. The casualties on the Kuomintang side exceeded 30,000.

Chiang Kai-shek was furious.

He had sent half of his elite troops over.

There were also many generals and capable generals such as Chen Cheng.

But there was no movement for so long.

So Chiang Kai-shek decided to command the front line in person.

Of course, this front line was in Changsha, not Hengyang.

After Chiang Kai-shek arrived, several major generals on the front line naturally had to pay a visit.

But as soon as he saw them, Chiang Kai-shek started to scold them. He bluntly said that if they still made no progress within a week, they would have to take a few heads to sacrifice to the flag.

Chen Cheng felt a chill on his neck when he heard this.

He knew that Chiang Kai-shek was really angry this time.

This was not a joke to them.

So after Chen Cheng returned to the Yongzhou front line, he also began to get ruthless.

No longer let the miscellaneous troops serve as cannon fodder. Instead

, he began to assemble the 18th Army and Tang Enbo's 13th Army to prepare for a fierce attack on the Guangxi Army's Yongzhou defense line.

This time, Chiang Kai-shek did not come alone.

Instead, he brought a number of elite troops.

For example, Tang Enbo's 13th Army and a heavy artillery division.

This heavy artillery division was also formed not long ago.

A total of 36 Krupp 150mm howitzers were equipped, all of which were new from Germany.

From this troop deployment, it can be seen that he was serious.

"I ordered the 18th Army to attack first, and the 13th Army to cover the left and right flanks. The general attack began.

Chen Cheng deployed more than 100,000 troops at once to launch a fierce attack on the entire Yongzhou defense line.

The Gui army felt the pressure immediately.

They clearly felt that the artillery fire from the National Army was even more fierce.

"It seems that they are serious about this.

There are still three days left. Send an order to the Yongzhou front.

Tell them to hold out for more than three days no matter what."

The Yongzhou front has gathered more than 50,000 troops of the Guangxi clique, a total of 4 divisions.

Although the defense pressure is very high, it should not be a problem to hold out for three days.

However, to be on the safe side, Division Lin transferred the 1st Mountain Infantry Division, which served as the general reserve, to the Yongzhou front.

With the addition of these two fresh forces, the pressure on Yongzhou was much less.

Facing the attack of the two elite corps, the 18th Army and the 13th Army.

The Yongzhou defense line is still like the Great Wall, motionless.

However, casualties on both sides began to soar.

Even with a certain equipment advantage, the casualties on the Gui army's side began to rise sharply.

"Should we use the air force to blow up all their artillery positions?"

Faced with his subordinates' request, Bai Chongxi decisively suppressed it.

"I told you, hold on for three days."

The counterattack will begin in three days.

If the air force is used now, the National Army will be a coward again.

This aviation force is also one of their trump cards.

At present, the number of air force fighters gathered in Nanning, Guilin, Liuzhou, and Yulin has exceeded 200.

They are all P-51D Mustang fighters and Invader fighter-bombers.

The reason why they are not equipped with MiG fighters is naturally for confidentiality.

The actions of jet fighters must be under control.

Once the secrets are leaked, it may promote the development of Western aviation power, which is not worth the loss.

Besides, the P-51 Mustang fighter is also the top piston propeller fighter in World War II.

The performance completely beats the Hawk biplane equipped by the National Army.

Three days passed quietly in the fierce battle.

During these three days, the casualties on both sides exceeded 20,000.

Among them, more than 5,000 casualties belonged to the Guangxi clique.

Both Cheng Cheng and Tang Enbo felt the pain at this moment. If the fight continues, their two legions will really be injured.

But the old man was watching from behind, They dared not not try their best.

Although they suffered heavy casualties, they did not make no progress.

They broke through many directions.

However, they were recaptured by the Gui army.

On the eve of the counterattack.

Grizzly light tanks, multi-functional wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, a large number of cars and trucks gathered in the rear of Yongzhou.

More than 40,000 troops of the 10th and 11th Motorized Infantry Divisions have assembled behind the Yongzhou defense line.

On another defense line, that is, in Hezhou.

The 1st and 2nd Mountain Infantry Divisions have also assembled.

In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth..

The Nationalist Army camp in Yongzhou stretches for dozens of miles. This one is also the camp closest to the Yongzhou defense line, about 25 kilometers away.

The number of troops in this camp alone exceeds 150,000. As soon as the sky was slightly bright, the Nationalist Army soldiers came out of their tents and prepared to have breakfast.

After breakfast, they had to continue to fight.

It was also when they were having breakfast that Bai Chongxi decisively issued the order to attack.

One by one, 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers have been deployed.

The muzzle was raised high and aimed at the Nationalist Army camp more than 20 kilometers away.

The 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzer is a big one. It is heavier than the B-4 203mm howitzer.

But it uses a variety of ammunition and has different ranges.

If you use base-recessed shells, the range is 18 kilometers. If you use base-bleed shells, the range can reach 22 kilometers.

If you use rocket-assisted shells, the maximum range can reach about 30 kilometers.

After all, it is equipped with a 52-caliber gun barrel.

This time, Bai Chongxi assembled two motorized infantry divisions with a total of 72 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers to bombard the Kuomintang camp.

"Fire!"

The camp is very large, so we can just fire a volley right away, without having to worry about accuracy.

"Boom boom boom........."

One rocket-assisted projectile after another flew out of the gun barrel, whistling towards the sky. When it was a certain distance away from the muzzle, the small solid rocket engine at the tail began to work, providing additional power to the projectile.

"Woo woo woo......."

Hearing the faint roar coming from the sky, many national army soldiers looked up in confusion.

When they saw a black spot whizzing towards them, the old soldiers' pupils shrank and their faces changed drastically.

They threw down the rice bowls in their hands and rushed towards the nearest bunker.

Some new soldiers were confused after seeing it.

But they soon found out what was going on.

"Boom boom boom......"

Dense shells fell with a bang.

There were violent explosions in the camp.

Suddenly, the whole camp was like a boiling oil pan.

Countless soldiers began to run around instinctively.

The whole camp was in great chaos.

""Counterattack begins, attack!"

Bai Chongxi gave an order, and two motorized infantry divisions began to launch a full-scale counterattack against the national army in the direction of Yongzhou.
