Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 762: We can’t fight any further, our goal has been achieved, we must withdraw our troops imm

The speed of the Japanese army's defeat exceeded Lin Zhenhua's imagination. The second and first lines of defense were broken one after another, which made Yoshio Shinozuka realize that the game was over.

The old devil had a strong sense of battlefield. He immediately ordered the troops to evacuate quickly and retreat directly to the camp behind.

The large number of ditches and burned wooden bridges posed serious obstacles to the mechanized troops. After discovering this situation, Zhang Dabiao immediately reported it to the command.

"College students, the armored forces are now unable to advance. Most of the Japanese troops have retreated to Xin'an Town."

"If we continue fighting, the armored forces will most likely be trapped in the Japanese encirclement. The Japanese main force has not suffered heavy losses. Now there are only three hours left until dawn. I request to lead the troops to retreat to Niangzi Pass immediately."

Lin Zhenhua listened to Zhang Dabiao's report and looked at the map on the wall with a serious expression on his face.

"College students, we can't continue this war. We must finish the construction now!"

"Tonight's counterattack is to give the base more breathing space. Now is not the best time to counterattack."

"I just asked some locals and checked the weather forecast. It's very likely to snow in the next two days. If we continue to pursue them, it's very likely to cause a large number of non-combat casualties."

"Plus, the difficulty of field marches is not small. If a tank gets stuck in the mud and freezes halfway, the consequences will be disastrous."

"However, we cannot abandon our original battle plan. Since we cannot launch a large-scale counterattack on land, we can use this period of rest to launch an air counterattack."

"With another surge in engine production, we can fully equip nearly 10 mechanized troops by the beginning of next spring."

"The idea you proposed earlier of using plywood to replace the metal skins of the aircraft passed its flight test yesterday. Although these simple aircraft may not be very powerful, they can be used to bomb the enemy's positions without any problems."

"The labor required to produce a wooden bomber is one-fifth less than that of a metal bomber. Furthermore, since we use an assembly line production method, we can definitely increase our monthly production capacity to over 800 aircraft."

"As long as we work hard for a few months, the Japanese 12th Army will be completely trapped, and will be like a piece of shit to us."

"After defeating the Japanese 12th Army, we will march directly towards Suiyuan and the Northeast. As long as we can capture the Japanese military factories in the Northeast and develop steadily for a year or two, we will be able to gather an army of to outside the Great Wall."

"Adding to our existing 10 troops, we will be able to send 20 troops south. With our superior equipment, it will be a pipe dream for the Japanese to resist our attack."

"Like you said before, if you can solve it with artillery shells, don't use machine guns."

"Especially our oil barrel bombs, they are very useful. I have to say that this is truly a genius invention of yours. It has achieved very good results in many previous bombings."

"I've already had Lao Zhao increase oil production efforts, and we've built 20 refineries of varying sizes in the base area. I want to see how long the Japs can hold out."
