Chapter 561
"I said Lao Yang, after leaving for several years, we were old rivals in Sichuan at the time, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, we actually stood on the same front again. △↗,."
After a chaotic battle, news came from the two Sichuan troops that arrived at the Japanese artillery positions at about the same time. Sun Zhen breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The Japanese army without artillery was the tiger with teeth drawn, so there was no need to worry too much.
"Yes, the times are making people feel like they are fighting to the death in Sichuan. But when they are about to come, they are thrown into the house by the Japanese. If they had expected such a day, why would we have been here?" Yang Sen took the cigarette handed over by Sun Zhen, smiled mockingly, and looked at the sign on the cigarette, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Why, you can even supply cigarettes now?"
"It's so cool under the big tree. Even during the war, I could supply a few packs of cigarettes from time to time. After entering the northwest, my military headquarters was reduced to a division headquarters, and the oil and water were not as good as before. However, these messy things really paid some of them."
Sun Zhen took out a lighter from his pocket and opened the very textured metal cover. With his thumb, the fire rushed up.
"You are a watch and a ignition again. There are a lot of foreign things on you." Yang Sen looked at Sun Zhen's silver lighter in surprise and said.
"This is not a foreign thing, it is produced by the Northwest. I heard that this thing has been registered with foreigners and has a patent for the Raoshizi. This thing is highly praised by some foreigners in the Northwest. Of course, it is the foreigners who smoke, but it is also expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to buy one."
Sun Zhen handed the lighter to Yang Sen again. Although the two sides were hostile during the melee in Sichuan, Sun Zhen's status was far inferior to Yang Sen at that time, after all, he was a person who fought for the chairman of Sichuan Province. However, the Sichuan Army's senior leaders fought today and tomorrow's examples were not once or twice. Besides, it was a national war at this time, which was not as small as the small fight in Sichuan. I don't know what happened tomorrow today, and there were still some grudges in the past that I couldn't leave behind.
"Okay, I'll benefit from your money today." Yang Sen took the lighter and glanced around Sun Zhen's division headquarters. When he saw the 20mm imitation of Erliton's machine guns, he said enviously, "Good guy, I don't have a few guns in a division below, even if my command headquarters does not have anti-aircraft guns, you can do it first."
"That's right, although the Northwest Army is a little stricter, it has never deducted military equipment and materials. This is a little bit stronger than Chairman Jiang. These anti-aircraft guns are just for the storefront, and the real power is the Northwest Air Force. It's much easier to get covered by the superiors. Although there are some baskets from time to time, you don't have to worry about being bombed by the Japanese all day long. By the way, are you interested in coming to the Northwest? You can't write two characters in a single stroke, and after all, they are all from the Sichuan Army. If Brother Yang is willing to come to the Northwest, I can help you introduce some of them."
Sun Zhen looked glamorous. Although Yang Sen's status was higher than him at the time, even if the other party's military rank was higher than him now, the organization in the Central Army was very rich. Although Yang Sen was also the commander of the army in front of him, his life might not be better than that of him now.
"If I had chosen the northwest before leaving Sichuan, it would have been fine, but now there might not be such a chance. The gods were calling out, and the mortals suffered. Now Chairman Jiang has lost even Nanjing, and he has to dig up the corner of Nanjing again. Chairman Jiang wants a pile of burdens, so will Director Jiang take me?" Yang Sen shook his head. After all, he was a giant of the Sichuan army, and it was clearer than Sun Zhen, a rising star.
"If you really want to be a friend of the Sichuan Army, give me more materials seized this time, I can't compare to you with the Northwest Army. With Chairman Jiang's things, I can't even fill my stomach. The soldiers under my command, seeing your clothes, have been yelling for a while. Not to mention them, even I looked at them. When it was the cold winter months, it was raining and snow. The soldiers below didn't even have a pair of cloth shoes, and they were wearing straw sandals they brought from Sichuan. If it weren't for the help of these enthusiastic people, they would have frozen to death."
Thinking of the difficulties the troops had experienced on the battlefield over the past period of time, Yang Mu couldn't help but sigh. When he saw Sun Zhen, who was also from the Sichuan, his number was reduced, his life was much better than his.
"So, Lao Yang, you have more people. If you ask me, you should also fight for more people with Jiang. Isn't the treatment of Huangpu Group much better? Although we are divided into different levels, it is not too obvious. If we fight beautifully, we still have the opportunity to make a name for ourselves. This month, six of my divisions have been transferred to the military academy in the northwest. They will return to the furnace and come out again. They are almost the direct line. If the war is really good, there will still be a way out. The gateways in the northwest are not as deep as the south."
The left and right battle examples were jointly fought by two parts. He had supplies from the Northwest Army, so it was not so easy for Yang Sen to obtain supplies from the south. He still had this permission.
Papa
"Celebrating the official opening of the Dianqing Highway!"
"This road lasted for 13 months, and after more than 200,000 people's day and night, this road that reached more than 1,000 kilometers in length, took more than a year to be successfully built and opened to traffic. This road crossed 6 mountains, 5 large rivers, and crossed 8 cliffs. In order to build this road, we have paid more than 3,000 precious lives. This road is the crystallization of sweat and blood of more than 200,000 people. I say this, not to complain, but also to seek credit. I just want to represent the voice of more than 200,000 people, tell the country, and tell all the people and compatriots who are fighting on all fronts. Everything is for the War of Resistance, everything is for the Republic of China, even in the rear, but for the independence of the nation and the country, and to defeat the invading robbers, we have no regrets!"
Li Wenping, the chief designer of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, was only 26 years old, but he was a doctor of transportation engineering. At this time, Li Wenping stood in front of the loudspeaker, wearing a navy Zhongshan suit. Although he was young, he became mature while in charge of the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Not far from Li Wenping, there was a huge monument engraved with names. It was engraved with dense names.
Around Li Wenping, there are senior leaders in Yunnan. The Wuhan government also has some representatives sent by the northwest, engineering soldiers, and some workers who built roads.
"Salute to the martyrs who have sworn to go!"
With a loud shout, everyone bent down their waists and headed towards the huge monument. The pupp camera kept this solemn scene forever.
Drops, harsh whistle sound.
After the simple ceremony, the first team of cars drove on this road made of the blood and sweat of the people. However, unlike in history, the cars driving on this road were either three-ton Chevrolet, Ford, 3.5-ton Dodge, or 4.5-ton Da International, which were basically produced by the United States. At this time, the Yunnan-Burma Highway was mainly produced by Lanfeng trucks produced in the northwest. There were all from 2.5 tons to 3.5 tons.
History always does not transfer too much by personal will. Although Jiang Li planned the Yunnan-Burma Highway as early as possible, it took five months more to open to traffic than in history. After all, Jiang Li and Chairman Jiang had the final say on the construction of roads in the Republic of China, but the road sections in Myanmar required the cooperation of Myanmar and Britain. Therefore, it delayed for five months. Of course, early birds were eaten by insects, compared with pure dirt roads in history. In addition, in the road construction team that was basically composed of the elderly, weak, women and children in history, under the strong push of Jiang Li, the main force in building this road was replaced by a construction team with many years of experience in road construction in the northwest. In addition, compared with pure handicrafts in history, the northwest also invested a considerable number of road construction machinery. In terms of efficiency alone, it is more than twice as high as before.
Therefore, compared with the pure dirt roads in the past, the current Dianxi Highway is not only twice as wider than the original places where conditions permit, or one-third of it, but also a cement road built. The transportation capacity is even less comparable to the original Dianxi Highway.
"I didn't expect that the Chinese people would build the Yunnan-Burma Highway in such a short time. Moreover, the northwest of China connected the Sichuan highway with the Yunnan-Burma Highway. In the future, even if the empire blocked the southeastern coast of China, it would inevitably not stop the resources of British and American ghosts from continuously entering China."
Among the people who were successfully opened to traffic, on a bamboo building not far away, two guys dressed like ordinary Han people, but with a heavy face, were looking at the convoy running on the road solemnly.
"The northwest passage was still subject to the Soviet Union. The dispute over going north on the base camp was quite strong. On the one hand, it could lift the Soviet threat to the northeast, and on the other hand, it could cut off the passage to obtain material supply from the northwest. Now it seems that even if the Siberian Railway is cut off, it may not be able to achieve the previous goal. Now that the highway has been built, the railways built by the Chinese people at the same time will inevitably speed up. Even the status of the Yunnan-Burma Railway and the highway will soon replace the Siberian Railway. Damn British people, if they had not interfered with it, the empire would not be so passive."
As long as Ijiri Saburo's eyes were blasting fire, as long as he was not a fool, he could see the huge impact of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which was more important than the success or failure of one or two battles. Before, Japan occupied the eastern coastal areas of the Republic of China and cut off the supply channels outside the Republic of China. In this way, the less and less arms and other essential materials could be obtained. Japan could completely defeat the Republic of China at a lower cost. At present, it was impossible to cut off the foreign aid of the Republic of China. With the almost endless manpower and material resources of the Republic of China, the longer the war was fought, the more difficult the losses Japan suffered in the war would be.
"Yizhijun, can we start from another perspective? The Yunnan-Burma Highway is nearly a thousand kilometers long and has a terrain that is almost countless. Send some people to blow up their roads and destroy some bridges, which may have a good effect." Another person suggested.
"It's not that simple. The Chinese people built highways and received certain support from the British, and Myanmar was a British colony. In addition, based on the information we obtained, the Chinese people set up temporary offices in some dangerous areas along the highway, with a small number of troops. Although the number is not large, it is completely enough to deal with some small-scale attacks. If the empire dispatched too many people, logistical cannot be guaranteed on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will also alarm Britain. After all, it is the other party's colony, unless the base camp is ready to oppose Britain."
Akisaburo Ijiji shook his head and denied his colleagues' statement. After all, the government of the Republic of China spent such a large price to build this road, so how could he really not be prepared at all? Not to mention those troops, it was just the support of the local people for road construction. Not long after the unfamiliar Japanese troops entered the nearby area, they would probably be exposed.
"What should I do? Do you just watch the resources of the material resources that aid China continue to arrive and then use them on the battlefield against the empire?" Another man said unwillingly, "The Chinese people built roads too fast, and they can take turns to work twenty-four hours. Originally, we expected that it would take more than two years or even three years to build the road, the Chinese people only took a year and a half. Moreover, the quality of the road construction was much better than we expected. The Yunnan-Burma Railway has been built for more than a year. According to the current progress, with a large number of materials and machinery that can be transported from the highway at any time, it may only take more than two years at most, which is enough to connect with the Lav Line in Myanmar. If the empire did not think of a solution as soon as possible, then the British and American tricks would succeed, and the empire would fall into the endless quagmire of war."
"We are only responsible for intelligence collection. The specific decisions in the future depend on how the base camp decides. Now the sea and land provinces on the base camp are competing for north or south. In my opinion, it will take not long for the cabinet to decide the victory or defeat. Either go north to provoke the Soviet Union or south. We only need to collect the ability to pass and spew goods on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and place the specific data on the table on the base camp. We believe they will make it clear. Although the resources in northwest China are abundant, they still lack an extremely important industrial raw material, which is natural rubber. Now the opening of the Yunnan-Burma Highway has lifted the last shackles in northwest China. I believe that this can be seen in the base camp."
