    After Zhang Hanqing delivered this speech in Dalian, the Soviet Union provided another US$150 million loan to China to purchase Soviet weapons.

    On the contrary, the West wants China to purchase weapons with cash, and the quantity is very small and the price is very high. Moreover, the sea routes are blocked by Japan and many seaports are occupied by Japan. Imports are difficult, exports are also difficult, foreign exchange is extremely scarce, and the ability to purchase Western weapons is limited.  Therefore, after the end of 1928, China mainly imported weapons from the Soviet Union.

    Of course, loans require interest, and there is no free lunch in the world.  In the memorandum signed by China and the Soviet Union, China agreed that its loan interest rate would be 6.5%, which is not a small number.

    But the good thing is that the Soviet Union agreed to repay China half and half with agricultural and mineral products. If mineral products are insufficient, agricultural products can be substituted. In actual repayment, agricultural products are slightly more than mineral products.  Our country is a big agricultural country, so this method is quite beneficial to me.

    And the most significant thing is that all the Soviet Union gave China arms loans. China used these loans to purchase a large amount of Soviet arms for the development of projects that it urgently needed. For example, it built a propeller blade manufacturing plant in Harbin and a company that can provide power for large ships. Gas turbine factories, etc., have played a very important role in the expansion of my country's military industry.

    At the same time, the production of bombers, fighter jets, etc., which are the first priority production, has reached a new peak.  Zhang Xiaozhun kept his word. Under his personal supervision, 250 aircraft and 40 naval guns were produced as scheduled within a month.

    These weapons were quickly added to the front lines of the navy and air force. The defense capabilities of China's major coastal defense areas were strengthened, and the Chinese Air Force also began to conduct targeted and threatening patrols on major shipping routes.

    More importantly, because the aviation force has been strengthened, the Chinese fleet has dared to go out under its escort. In particular, Chinese submarines have tried to ambush Japanese warships several times, causing considerable psychological pressure on the Japanese navy.

    China is not afraid of death, and Japan is not afraid of death, but they are afraid of injury¡ª¡ªmainly because they are afraid of being injured by the Chinese navy and making a joke.  One by one, the Japanese fleet did not dare to divide its forces to fight alone, and the combined force was extremely easy to be monitored by Chinese reconnaissance aircraft taking off from land.  Therefore, after that bombing, it became increasingly difficult for the Japanese Navy to make major achievements.

    On the Korean front, from early morning to noon, the Japanese army was unable to attack after leaving 6,000 corpses, and had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment. The first wave of offensive came to an end.  Positional warfare is really not Japan's strong point. It took several months to win a high ground against the Russian army. Will it repeat the same mistake now?

    Commander An Manqin and the division commanders who were watching the battle looked at the mountains of corpses with fear and horror.  Six thousand people advanced about 300 meters in one morning.  Is this speed and such losses really the purpose of this decisive battle?  If he stopped here, his division would suffer heavy losses among the ten divisions. Although he was the commander of the front army, he would not be able to explain it to the Japanese Army Headquarters in Korea.

    No!  An Manqin suddenly cheered up: "Our invincible locust army has suffered huge losses, and what about that army? Back then, the military god Nogi Xidian used human bombs to attack, and it took a hundred days to forcefully carve out a bloody path, and our locust army was defeated.  Its reputation spread all over the world, and the empire became one of the great powers in the world.

    Now is the time for our generation to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors and continue to write glory. As long as we persevere and have the courage to sacrifice, we will definitely be able to earn a share of glory for the empire in the hail of bullets. That is also the responsibility of our generation and the hope for the rise and fall of the empire!  "

    He looked at his colleagues: "After lunch, the 10 divisions moved forward together, attacked quickly, and tore apart the defense line of the army on the opposite side regardless of losses. Even if they crawled with flesh and blood, they would have to climb over to that person.  Go behind the position!"

    ¡°That¡¯s what he said, and the Japanese army actually did it.

    After a feast, the Japanese army began to use a small number of vanguard troops to clear the corpses.  Although the weather is getting cooler, the temperature at noon is still a bit high. If the two sides confront each other here for a long time, the rotting corpses will easily breed bacteria and lesions, which will be fatal to both sides.  Therefore, the highly nervous People's Army soldiers were taking a break and ignored the Japanese army's corpse collection operation.

    Because of this, the defending side of the People's Army suffered a bit, because although there were people watching their activities at a very close distance, suddenly a large number of Japanese troops emerged from the pile of dead people, which still caught people off guard.

    These Japanese soldiers were all crawling forward, and it was impossible to tell whether they were alive or dead among the dead.  By the time the Japanese attack was discovered, a larger force had already rushed over.

    However, thanks to the complexity of the tunnels, when the defenders in front were overwhelmed by the Japanese because they were outnumbered, the machine guns on both sides began to suppress them.  Naturally, the Japanese army launched counter-suppression, and then the scene in the morning repeated itself.

    This time the scale is larger, so the pressure on defense is also greater.  The Japanese army of 10 divisions launched a strong attack on a 20-kilometer-long front. The 24th Army was under tremendous pressure and had to attack the North Korean army.Within ten minutes, the counterattack was launched.  Amidst the loud sound of the bugle, the officers and soldiers lying in the trenches jumped up and rushed towards the enemy.  At this time, there were whistling artillery shells overhead, which were the masterpieces of the artillery units in the rear; beside them, countless comrades-in-arms were charging rapidly, which made the timid officers and soldiers suddenly feel more courageous - we still have so many comrades-in-arms.  , then what are you afraid of!

    This round of rapid fire stunned the Japanese backup troops who were constantly rushing forward.  Instead of attacking the front line and attacking the rear, are we not afraid that the artillery array will be exposed under the eyes of our artillery?  But now is not the time to think about this. First, avoid the rain of artillery shells - the People's Army's artillery fire is famous for its sharpness. No matter how strong the Bushido is, it cannot be stronger than the artillery shells!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
