The advantage of self-operated troops is that they can maneuver quickly.

But don’t underestimate this benefit, especially when fighting in the inside line, the rapid maneuver of the troops can sometimes exert twice or even three times the combat power.

Let’s talk about anything else, just talk about the Huaihai Battle. Huaye and Dongye had only 600,000 people, but they were able to defeat the Kuomintang Xuzhou Suppression Group of 800,000, and annihilate nearly 600,000 of them, relying on the rapid maneuver of the troops!

Relying on the rapid maneuver of the troops, the People's Liberation Army can often form a twice or even several times the advantage of military strength on local battlefields.

Ironically, the Kuomintang army participating in the Huaihai Campaign was mechanized, so that Principal Chang lamented that the wheels of the National Army's cars could not escape the mud legs of the Communist Army.

It is precisely because of this that Zhong Yi decided to form a self-propelled force.

Moreover, Yinjiang also has such conditions. Sanyou Industrial Club has a bicycle factory, so the supply of raw materials is not a problem. The steel plant can provide steel and rubber can also be transported from Guangxi. Anyway, the logistics company is going to traffic in Yunnan, so it will transport the rubber back on the way back.

Seeing Zhong Yi pondering silently, Zhao Xingjiu said, "Xiao Zhong, can't many cars work?"

Zhong Yi scratched his head and said, "Old man, if someone else opens this call, it will definitely not work. But if you open this call, I can't help but give you face. Let's do this, I'll give you another ten cars!"

"Okay!" Zhao Xingjiu said happily, "Xiao Zhong, the matter of Xiaogang Transportation Team is for me. As long as your municipal government gives the order, we can pull it out at any time, and there will be no slight drag on it."

After a pause, Zhao Xingjiu said again: "However, when there is no transportation task, your municipal government will not be allowed to take back these more than 20 human-powered tricycles. With this thing, we can seize or not harvest early rice."

"Of course it won't be taken back." Zhong Yi said with a smile, "These more than 20 human-powered tricycles belong to you. Even if the War of Resistance Against Japan is victorious in the future and the transportation team is disbanded, the Yinjiang Municipal Government will never take back these tricycles."

"Okay, this is what you said." Zhao Zhenche was so happy that he even danced a little.

A reporter from Yinjiang Daily pressed the camera shutter with a click and recorded Mr. Zhao's happy look.

Early the next morning, the photo of Mr. Zhao dancing and joking appeared on the front page of Yinjiang Daily, and an article specifically introduced the transportation team.

...

In Chongqing, Yunxiu Tower in Huangshan.

Chen Bulei, director of the Second Service Department, put a large stack of briefings on the desk of President Chang as usual.

These briefings were excerpted by the secretary of the Second Office from major newspapers nationwide and even around the world, and they all had direct or indirect relationships with China.

Principal Chang had breakfast and returned to the study to read the newspaper.

After reading the briefings one by one, I quickly read the briefings of Yinjiang Daily.

Then, Principal Chang saw a sketch at a glance, which was a dancing old man.

The secretary who is responsible for copying this article in Yinjiang Daily has a good sketching skills and restored 99% of Zhao Xingjiu in the photo, which is almost the same as the original photo.

Principal Chang's eyes swept through the sketch and continued to read the article.

After reading the article, Principal Chang's face collapsed.

This is really angering people. In other war zones, the national army will also recruit civilians to help transport materials, but it is actually a compulsory way to catch strong men!

However, in Zhong Yi's Yinjiang, the people actively participated.

Seeing that Principal Chang was unhappy, Chen Bulei whispered: "Maybe this is just a self-talk in the newspaper. I'm afraid there is still a question mark on the truth."

Chen Bulei’s implication is that Zhong Yi is giving his face.

Principal Chang waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Do you think Zhong Yi needs to gild his face? Also, do you think he will gild his face?"

Chen Bulei was speechless. Obviously, Zhong Yi would not do this.

President Chang said quietly: "So, this matter is credible."

"What the principal said is very true." Chen Bulei immediately followed Principal Chang's tone, "Zhong Yi is really capable, but it's a pity that he is a little more domineering."

Principal Chang sighed and said quietly: "Yes, if the commanders and commanders in other war zones could also have Zhong Yi's ability to govern the local area, why would the situation of the national war of resistance collapse so much?"

What President Chang said was inspired by his feelings.

After the Suizao Battle ended, in order to ensure the Yinjiang Battle, the Japanese army suspended the offensive in central China.

At this time, some senior leaders from the command headquarters made suggestions, believing that the national army should take the opportunity to counterattack.

Considering that the Fifth and Nine War Zones suffered heavy losses in the previous Nanchang Battle, Suizao Battle, and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time, so the task of counterattack fell on the first, second and third battle zones.

Principal Chang immediately ordered the first, second and third war zones to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.

The first, second and third war zones did launch a counterattack, but the final result was very different from the one expected by President Chang. President Chang originally thought that even if this strategic counterattack could not be won, at least a considerable part of the country could be recovered and at least tens of thousands of Japanese troops could be wiped out!

However, the reality is cruel. The counterattack in the First World War and Second World War ended in a disastrous defeat.

The most funny thing is the Third War Zone. The commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone mobilized three armies to launch a large counterattack from southern Anhui and western Zhejiang. However, these three armies returned before they even left the national-controlled area. The reason was very simple, because the military rations were suddenly unable to be provided.

Before the counterattack began, all the civilians who were forced to be recruited by the Third War Zone ran away.

Not only did the civilians run away, but the fleeing civilians even left the military rations.

That's why Principal Chang felt particularly emotional. Comparing the Third War Zone with Yin Jiangyi, it is really a verdict. Gu Shutong, the Commander-in-Chief of the Third War Zone, had to have half of Zhong Yi's ability, so why did he fall into this tragic situation today?

Chen Bulei stuttered for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Chen Bulei was actually very clear that the problem in the third war zone was much more serious than what was exposed on the surface.
