In the office,
Lin Zheng spoke calmly and confidently.
He discussed industrial regulations with him.
Including experience in developing modern factories and industrial infrastructure.
While Yan Lao Xi also developed industry... he exacerbated the gap between rich and poor in Jin Province, and agricultural development was slow.
Lin Zheng believed that industrial development and agricultural development could go hand in hand, promoting and improving each other.
Yan Lao Xi suddenly realized: "!! I think Lin Zongzuo is right, my plan is not comprehensive enough!"
Lin Zheng then discussed the results of several major battles with him. Lin Zheng's side had fewer casualties, and their battle loss ratio was almost a historical record.
Lin Zheng successfully secured Yan Lao Xi's allegiance.
...
Lin Zheng then received a battle report, reporting that the Japanese army was fleeing too quickly, and some of them had already escaped to North China.
North China included several provinces, and the Japanese army stationed there was called the North China Expeditionary Army.
At its peak, it had over 300,000 troops, well-trained, well-equipped, with tank divisions and heavy artillery regiments.
Lin Zheng smiled slightly and ordered several Red Alert army groups to advance north.
The number of troops was also a decisive factor in war, providing an advantage in attacking, annihilating, and pursuing. At this time, the number of Red Alert troops was gradually gaining the upper hand.
...
Itahara Taro, leading the Japanese army, was defeated, but he also escaped to a safe area.
The fact that Itahara Taro survived shocked the Japanese high command.
The Japanese high command was unanimously shocked and curious!
Itahara Taro's face turned green, because it wasn't his strength, but his escape. He deeply remembered the hardships and fears of his escape.
"As a warrior of the Empire, I must avenge myself and lead my troops to redeem our honor!!"
Itahara Taro escaped death, so the Japanese high command gave him a chance to lead the remaining 50,000 Japanese troops.
Itahara Taro led the Japanese army to Datong to set up defenses.
Datong is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years, with an urban area of over 10,000 square kilometers.
Itahara Taro did not set up defenses within the city, but outside of it.
This time, he built numerous air-raid shelters, the deepest reaching 4 meters.
Such shelters could prevent bombardment.
"This time, we should be able to defend against the Katyusha rockets!"
Itahara Taro heard that the Imperial intelligence suffered many casualties. He learned the name Katyusha, which was developed in 1938 by the Bear Empire and used in 1941.
Itahara Taro was filled with gloom! What was the relationship between the Red Alert and the Bear?
Would the Empire of the Rising Sun be in danger?
Boom boom boom...
Rockets, as bright as clouds, fell down in a dense swarm!
The Japanese army once again suffered the baptism of the Katyusha rockets!
Except this time, they had added cloud-burst and poison gas bombs to the conventional warheads.
Lin Zheng had been using the Red Alert base for over two years, and the cloud-burst module had been unlocked long ago, with production even comparable to gasoline bombs. The poison gas module had also been unlocked.
Boom boom boom...
The power of the cloud-burst bomb truly manifested. There was a fluffy cloud of mist within the cloud-burst bomb!!
When it detonated and burned, the extremely high temperature sucked up all the oxygen!!
Without oxygen, the Japanese army would suffocate to death!
Even those hiding in the trenches could not escape.
A product that completely overturned World War II warfare, even modern warfare, worthy of being called a sub-nuclear weapon.
Ah ah ah...
Fifty thousand Japanese troops suffocated to death one after another!
The death scene was extremely painful and tragic.
Even Itahara Taro was completely panicked! The Katyusha rocket was still within the realm of understanding, but this burning of all air, this cloud-burst bomb, he couldn't understand.
For weapons he couldn't understand, Itahara could only feel fear, despair for the future of the Rising Sun nation!
Itahara abandoned his subordinates and fled, just like last time.
But the suffocation and lack of oxygen in his throat.
Made him run slower and slower.
Finally, he clutched his throat and fell. Itahara Taro, once the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, a giant of the Rising Sun, died under the cloud-burst bomb!
...
Jin Province.
The Jin-Sui Army headquarters.
Yan Lao Xi, with two thick black whiskers, was sipping a cup of ancient tea.
Yan Lao Xi said to his subordinates, "I've already met with Lin Zheng. I just flew back from the plane."
Several of his subordinates had excited expressions.
Yan Lao Xi: "Lin Zheng has basically accepted me. You've all seen how powerful Lin Zheng is. The Japanese army that we were helpless against has now been wiped out."
"Itahara Taro was a major enemy in my life. Now Itahara Taro is dead."
Several of his subordinates had shocked expressions.
Itahara Taro was really dead!
Yan Lao Xi looked at them again and said, "Lin Zongzuo told us... that our Jin-Sui Army should be reorganized. At least 8 divisions and 120,000 people should be reorganized, and they will be equipped with heavy artillery!"
"What Lin Zongzuo meant was that we might be facing unknown enemies, like the Three Ma of the Northwest region, and the covetous Bear Empire!"
His subordinates: ???
