"There are a lot of troops accumulated in Shanxi now, and our capabilities are limited.

However, there are still many trump cards in the northwest.

I heard that the 18th Group Army has a lot of cars.

Our province only has six to seven hundred cars in total. ,.

Since Jiang Li is so enthusiastic, the chairman might as well ask Jiang Li for some help and ask him to send some cars over, or borrow some from the 18th Army," Xu Yongchang suggested.

"This is a good idea.

There are not many planes in the northwest.

If we don't borrow trucks, it would be unreasonable.

Suiyuan Province cannot be occupied by the northwest army for no reason."

Thinking that Suiyuan, who had always been under his control, had now returned half to the Japanese army and half to the Northwest Army, Yan Xishan felt a little confused.

Thinking of the foundation of the Northwest, Yan Xishan was even less confident than when facing Nanjing.

A large number of transport trucks appeared in the 18th Army alone as it gradually entered Shanxi.

What Yan Xishan didn't know was that the transport trucks under the control of the baggage brigade transferred from the northwest to Henan were all in the thousands.

Unlike Japan, Japan needs to use a large amount of limited steel in shipbuilding.

Jiang Li is located inland, and Jiang Li knows better than Yan Xishan and even the Japanese about the importance of the automobile industry to a country's heavy industry.

They pay more attention to the layout of the automobile and tractor industries than the Japanese.

There is a large amount of steel in the northwest.

Released on infrastructure and automobiles.

As a result, Northwest China had even more automobile production capacity than Japan at this time.

The role of these cars was in the previous reinforcement battle in Langfang and the retreat from Pingjin.

A great victory in Xiongzhou Town.

All play an important role.

"I'm afraid the borrowed truck is not used to move Taiyuan Heavy Industry machinery.

It is used to transport troops.

If you beat a dog with a meat bun, you will never come back."

Although the automobile production in the northwest is not low, due to the vigorous development of industry and the vast area and sparse population in the northwest, the use of automobiles is more widespread.

The General Staff of the Northwest Army also shamelessly asked for the share of two baggage brigades from Tibetan Yi.

In order not to affect the development of northwest industry, Jiang Li actually intended to use cars more for civilian and industrial commercial purposes. of.

After all, the northwest cannot just focus on fighting and waste other aspects of construction.

In Jiang Li's eyes, although the Japanese army was strong, it was not invincible.

He had to plan for the future, and Zang Shiyi's demands on Yan Xishan were even more intolerable.

"Yan Xishan opened his mouth once, so he has to borrow some.

He doesn't care about whether he is a meat bun or a dog."

Jiang Li waved his hand.

If he could grab some supplies, he would let Taiyuan Heavy Industry withdraw as much as possible.

It's worth giving up these hundreds of trucks.

"Chief of Staff Chen.

Your bombers must hurry up and train.

If there are changes in Taiyuan, start bombing Taiyuan immediately.

Don't let those machines fall into the hands of the Japanese army."

Jiang Li said that the Northwest's self-produced Westwind bombers were not very destructive due to their bomb load, and a large number of them were transferred to the Central Plains.

The bombers arriving from the Soviet Union in batches had already formed five squadrons, and the pilots from the Northwest were Trying to adapt.

Although the arrival of Soviet aircraft greatly alleviated the shortage of aircraft production in Northwest China, Jiang Li did not want to let his precious pilots fly aircraft with which he was not familiar to perform missions, so he would rather let them go to the battlefield more slowly than let these pilots Survive the battlefield as much as possible.

Regarding Yan Xishan's lack of awareness of dangers, Jiang Li naturally did not urge Shanxi to demolish those machines.

When the last resort came, Jiang Li could only let those extremely important industrial equipment be destroyed.

"Commander, in order to destroy the target as much as possible, I humbly request to use the Baopeng bomber squadron at that time."

At this time, the General Staff of the Northwest Air Force had been reorganized, Gao Zhihang became the commander of the Air Force Command, and the chief of staff was succeeded by Chen Haihua.

Chen Haihua, as the core senior executive of the Northwest Air Force, knows everything about the family background of the Northwest Air Force.

"The Kunpeng bombers have not yet assembled a squadron.

One more squadron is not more, and one less squadron is not more.

It should not be exposed too early, otherwise it will arouse the alert of the Japanese."

Jiang Li shook his head.

Although Kunpeng's destructive power was among the best among all bombers in the world at this time, the number was still too small.

Moreover, at this time, there were more than 60 medium-range bombers bought from the Soviet Union, taking off from Shaanxi and crossing the Yellow River to bomb the entire Shanxi.

It's just that Jiang Li didn't want to introduce the Japanese fleet into Shaanxi too early to conduct a large-scale air battle.

After all, the Yanchang oil field was extremely important to the northwest at this time.

Not only are a large number of anti-aircraft weapons deployed there, but a certain number of the latest Dragon 2 fighters and Soviet-style I15 fighters are also deployed at surrounding airports.

But it only takes a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days.

"After discussing with the senior commander, the best defense is to attack.

If the time is right, the Japanese airports entering Shanxi can be bombed in advance to eliminate the effective Japanese aircraft and achieve the purpose of self-protection," Chen Haihua said.

"Okay, you can draw up a plan, and the intelligence department will fully cooperate with you."

Jiang Li nodded.

Chen Haihua and Gao Zhihang had made the right decision.

Instead of always guarding the Japanese army, taking the initiative to destroy the Japanese army's airports in Shanxi was indeed a feasible way.

In addition, it could also support the Shanxi operation from the side.

During this period of war with the Japanese, seventy or eighty fighter planes were lost one after another.

However, with supplements from the Soviet Union and those produced by Northwest itself, the number of Northwest fighters still remains at more than 340, and the number of Flying Dragon 2s is still high.

The proportion of fighter aircraft is slowly increasing.

In the past, because the Westwind dive bomber it owned was a tactical bomber and its range was not too far, it always lacked medium-range and long-range strike power against the enemy.

However, the medium-range bombers purchased from the Soviet Union made up for certain shortcomings.

In addition, the Kunpeng 1, whose production scale is expanding, is undoubtedly a heavyweight compared to other bombers.

As long as the scale of the Kunpeng 1 expands, it can carry out strategic light bombing against the Japanese army.

The production of oil fields in Dushanzi and Yumen continues to expand, and two medium-sized oil fields have been explored in Qinghai.

There is still no shortage of oil in the northwest.

It's just that Jiang Li laid out the automobile industry relatively early.

In addition, civil aviation and military aviation also need to consume a lot of fuel.

As for long-range heavy bombardment, as well as the heavier tanks at the back, they are all oil tigers.

Compared with the output of cars, planes, and tanks that will blow out later, these oil fields are only enough for now.

Therefore, the Yanchang oil field is still important, and it is necessary to focus on attacking the Japanese airport in Shanxi.
