"It's great.
We have planes and tanks.
Our 15th Route Army can also fight the Japanese army head-on.
We no longer have to hide our heads and tail like before."
Xing Zhanqingjie said.
"It is not as optimistic as you think.
The steel output in the northwest is still very low at this time.
In addition, there is still a considerable gap between the aircraft manufacturing industry and the Japanese army.
For a long period of time in the future, we will still have to face the possibility of the Japanese army.
Dominate the air force and tanks," Jiang Li corrected.
There is no such thing as blind optimism.
It is advisable that as a leader, you must pour cold water on your subordinates when they are optimistic.
No matter how fast the northwest develops, there is still a gap with Japan's already large-scale industrial system.
Of course, the northwest also has its own advantages.
There is no astronomical figure in the navy.
With the investment and consumption, Northwest can temporarily devote all its energy to the army and air force.
"Commander, how is the current output of the Avengers?"
In contrast, Tian Jianlong valued the Avengers more than everyone present.
Even if he went to the UK to purchase Vicker tanks, after all, he was buying someone else's stuff.
It was just a piece of cake.
Hammers are bought and sold, but the performance of the Avengers is not inferior to that of the Vicker Tank.
In the future, the Northwest can continuously produce them, which means that the expansion of the tank force is no longer controlled by others.
As the leader of the Northwest Armored Forces, the Armored Forces are filled with countless possibilities.
"Currently, the Avenger's machine gun type is about to be put into production.
The current monthly output of the 47 single-turret artillery type is 2 units.
It can be increased to 3 units by the end of the year and 4 to 5 units next year."
The person who answered this question was Tang Shijian.
"This means that by the end of the year, the tank force will be able to add another twenty Avengers."
Jiang Li looked at Sun Liren and Tian Jianlong and said, "Colonel Sun rowed behind your team.
His team has twenty-four tanks.
One-third of them will be Avengers, and the rest will be assigned to Vickers."
"Yes.
Commander" Tian Jianlong and Sun Liren replied in unison.
For Tian Jianlong, although Sun Liren was reused as soon as he arrived, it may have something to do with his graduation from an art school, but after all, he was under his command.
It is foreseeable that as the northwest's own tank factory continues to provide tanks After production, the tank force of the 15th Route Army will completely get rid of the previous shackles.
By the end of the year, the tank force will once again expand by nearly half.
Next year, the size of the tank force will at least double.
The tank force originally formed under the auspices of Zhang Xueliang in Fengtian has gone through several battles and is now completely reborn.
What makes Sun Liren even more excited is that he was given such high priority when he first arrived in the 15th Route Army.
This kind of treatment is extremely difficult to enjoy even in Nanjing.
After all, compared with the Huangpu faction that has already stood like a mountain in the Central Army, Sun Liren's hope of getting ahead was still too slim.
But in the 15th Route Army, there was no such concern.
From an anti-Japanese perspective, the anti-Japanese will of the 15th Route Army has been recognized throughout the Republic of China.
Both public and private, joining the 15th Route Army was a very wise decision.
"Commander, Yang Yaofeng and Zhou Dafu gave us a general introduction when we came.

The 15th Route Army will have a regular army of 170,000 by the end of the year.
As for the technical arms, the tanks in front of us are just that.
I don't know the tank force under the commander.
How big is it?"
When Xing Zhanqing asked this question, Li Du, Zhang Dianjiu, Su Bingwen and others also looked at it with concern.
"The tank training brigade was previously established, and later it was reorganized into two tank training battalions.
Each battalion manages a total of 24 armored vehicles and tanks, mainly Vickers tanks.
From now on, our own Avengers will be the main ones.
To By the end of this year, it will not be a problem to expand to three tank battalions.”
"Three tank battalions, if they are really brought to the field to fight with the enemy, they will be as effective as three infantry divisions."
Zhang Dianjiu was stunned when he heard this.
He originally heard that the regular strength of the 15th Route Army could reach 170,000 by the end of the year.
At this time, these Northeastern generals who had withdrawn through the Soviet Union were somewhat surprised.
They did not expect that this was not the true strength of the 15th Route Army at this time.
"Colonel and battalion commander, this is considered a super high-end configuration.
Otherwise, how can the tank training battalion be shown to be powerful?"
Feng Zhanhai said with a smile.
According to Jiang Li's usual practice, the outside world has always seen the strength of the 15th Route Army as smoke and mirrors.
The number and size of the special operations forces, tank training units, heavy artillery regiments, and air force that have been expanded repeatedly are strictly kept secret.
It is extremely difficult for the outside world to find out these core data.
Unless they are at the division and brigade level, they can only have a rough idea of the foundation of the 15th Route Army's resistance to Japan.
But arsenals, tank factories, and aircraft factories that have begun producing Eagle fighter jets are the behemoths hidden under the data.
Every once in a while, the strength of the 15th Route Army will be further expanded.
At least according to the current progress, the pace of military expansion next year will not be lower than now.
In other words, it is certain that the total strength of all troops next year will exceed 230,000.
The number of police officers who have received paramilitary training in Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and other places has exceeded 360,000.
As long as Jiang Li is willing, these people can become regular soldiers at any time.
"Okay, the current 15th Route Army is somewhat different from the previous Northeastern Army.
Lao Li and Lao Ma will transition to the positions of commanders of the 5th and 7th Divisions respectively to familiarize themselves with the military affairs of the current 15th Route Army.
In addition, they will He also serves as the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff, but the people you brought here will be slightly better trained.
After that, it will also be dispersed and expanded into various armies.
Is there any problem?"
As for Wang Delin, Zhang Dianjiu, Xing Zhanqing and others, the pace of expansion of the 15th Route Army has been quite fast in the past two years.
The chief of staff and brigade commander of the division-level troops , the vacated temporary brigades, mixed brigades and other units also have many vacancies, so arranging these people is not a big problem.
"Of course there is no problem.
This time I came to the northwest just to join the commander.
The commander will run the army immediately and govern the people immediately.
No one here can match him."
Li Du first expressed his position.
"It's okay, these people with low-level positions are all at the discretion of the commander."
Ma Zhanshan's heart warmed.
Jiang Li did not classify these people as a different kind.
Although the previous titles were loud, they were always the commander of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
Chairman of Heilongjiang Province and so on, but the places it can actually affect are extremely limited.
Although there are many troops on hand, according to previous understanding, a reorganized division of the 15th Route Army contains a 36-gun artillery regiment with a strength of 130,000.

A full force of more than 100,000 people.
It's not far behind the powerful armies in other places.
If you include the artillery bonus, it's even higher.
What's not to be dissatisfied with when you first arrive at the 15th Route Army and get such an arrangement?
"Well, the Great Wall War has just ended, but the threat of the Japanese invaders has not subsided, but is increasing day by day.
As early as next year, or as late as the year after that, the Japanese invaders have stabilized the situation in the Northeast and completely calmed down Rehe.
After the chaos in Chahar, it will inevitably There will be big moves, and now is the time for us to strengthen our troops.
Two years will be enough for us to increase our army to nearly 300,000.
"People, we are sitting on this stable base in the northwest.
We can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat.
Then we can compete with the Japanese army."
Seeing several generals who had withdrawn from the northeast nodded one after another, Jiang Li laughed and said to these.
Like people, they are also excited.
At this time, the northwest has initially improved its military industry system.
Rifles, aircraft, cannons, and cannons can all be manufactured by themselves.
Although there are still some details that need to be added, there are still a few years left, and as long as there are sufficient funds, it can always be done, right?
