"Well, this is very similar to our early European war. In Galicia, all our four armies were defeated at once, and the 3rd Army was almost destroyed. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor brought the Sixth and Seventh Army to reinforce."

In the headquarters in Nanjing, Linger was chatting with Wu Ziyu. Now the commander is dispatching troops and intends to teach the advancing Japanese 116th Division at Guangde City.

"How did you do this? It seems that your emperor has never lost a battle?" Wu Ziyu held a hookah with a strange shape in her hand.

"It cannot be said that our competition with the Russians in Galicia is still very fierce. Galicia was occupied by the Russians several times, but since His Majesty the Emperor took over the command of the Eastern Front, the troops have never suffered any major losses. At that time, the emperor once said that the result of the war was to eliminate the enemy's living forces, not to defend the city, and thus lose the mobility of the army. If we fall into the siege of an enemy in order to maintain control of a city, the army was also destroyed by the enemy and the city could not be saved. But ineffectively, the strength of the army was maintained and the enemy's strength was constantly consumed, then we would eventually gain control of these cities, and the army could still remain intact."

"If you have a place and lose people, both people and land will be lost. If you have a place and lose people, both people and land will be gained. Has your emperor read Zeng Wenzheng's quotes on military administration?" Wu Ziyu explained the meaning of those two sentences to Lingeer.

"Ah, it turns out that you have known this principle for a long time, but why do you still have to defend some cities with little strategic significance?" said Linger.

Wu Ziyu couldn't help but talk a little. It's true that everything is easier said than done.

"General Wu, before I came to China, I was optimistic about the outcome of the war between China and Japan. The result of modern war was actually decided before the war began. For example, compared with the war potential between China and Japan, their industrial capacity is about three times that of China, but their population is only one-seventh of China. Moreover, China's war resources are much richer than Japan. According to my estimate, your war capacity should be about three times that of Japan. But why are you always in a passive position now? This is actually a feature of modern warfare. The side with strong industrial and equipment capabilities will have an advantage in the early stages of the war, but in the long-term comprehensive warfare

The two sides of the fight will slowly return to a balanced state. After that, the side with great potential for war will gradually gain an advantage, and this advantage will become greater and greater. In fact, you still have the assistance of Germany and Austria. Why did the war become like this? It is mainly because first, you were not prepared to deal with the war before the war, and neither the military nor the army could deal with a modern war. On the other hand, you have not learned how to use your population advantage, and have not yet established a complete military service system and a modern war mobilization system. In other words, your government is very inefficient and has not yet established a complete organizational system that modern countries have in China."

"We are now recruiting a large number of reserve troops for training," said Wu Ziyu.

"But they have never received any military training before. This is the main reason why you need longer adjustments. The troops that have not been strictly trained will not only cause greater casualties, but more importantly, they will mislead the judgment of the General Staff. For example, dealing with a battalion of the Japanese army. We generally think that one regiment is enough, but in fact these untrained troops need a division. We hope that when the war eases, all the troops can be adjusted and trained."

"We are preparing to do this. Now the Army Department is preparing to reorganize the domestic army and unify the number and equipment." Wu Ziyu said. China does not lack ordinary army equipment now, but the reorganization and training of the army will take time.

The Japanese army's attack speed was very fast. The Japanese army in the middle quickly broke through the defense line built by China between Wuxi and Jiangyin and began to advance towards Nanjing. The sound of cannons around Nanjing were rumbling, and the sound of killing was shocking the sky. The war had already spread to Zhenjiang, Danyang to Jintan. The Japanese army marched west along both sides of the Yangtze River, but was blocked from Zhenjiang and Yizheng.

Because the Japanese Navy fleet was blocked from Jiangyin, the Chinese Navy Jiangdian defense fleet in Zhenjiang used naval guns to provide firepower support to the army under the command of Chen Shiying. Now it is the Japanese turn to suffer the navy.

The Japanese army sent fighter jets to bomb the Chinese Jiang defense fleet in Zhenjiang, and Chinese fighter jets taking off at airports such as Nanjing, Wuhu, Anqing, and Hefei were also attacking the attacking Japanese army. The two sides launched fierce air combat over Zhenjiang. Although the number of Chinese fighter jets was only one-third of that of the Japanese army, their performance was slightly superior to that of Japanese aircraft. The two sides fought fiercely in the air, and dozens of fighter jets were lost every day.

Colonel Kukochi was ordered to rush to Nanjing. The 3rd Army Aviation Division, which was responsible for Nanjing's air defense, encountered a Japanese fighter squadron using a new type of aircraft during the Jurong air battle. The pilots judged that it should be a US-made P-26 fighter.

This is a very important situation. The Japanese army may have received US military aid or arms.

Wu Ziyu ordered the troops defending Jurong to send the collected wreckage to Nanjing. During the air battle on December 6, two of these aircraft were shot down over Jurong.

When Kukochi arrived in a yard next to the Nanjing Provincial Command, he saw some fragments of planes piled up in the yard. The engine had been broken, but two landing gears were quite complete. General Ulysseslinger also arrived at the scene and was looking down at a damaged engine nameplate. There were several Chinese generals standing beside him, as well as several officers in the uniforms of the Army Aviation Corps.

"It should be an American aircraft. The engine nameplate shows that the manufacturer is Ericsson Engine Company. This aircraft is a 'toy gun' made by Americans?" General Ringer said.

"Yes, the p-26 uses a fixed landing gear, which looks very eye-catching in the air." said a young Chinese aviation officer, but they seem to have been improved and faster than the Japanese Type 96 land warfare."

"It's not Boeing's p-26, it should be the p-36 produced by Curtis. Some of them use fixed landing gear, called Hawke-75. The US Army Air Force ordered about 360 aircraft, and I think this should be this aircraft," Kukoc said. "It seems that the Japanese bought a batch of these aircraft from Curtis Hawke because of insufficient production of the aircraft."

"It's not a good situation anyway, and this needs to be reported to the country immediately." Ringer said, and then he turned to a Chinese general, "It seems that you still have a long way to go to defeat the Japanese." (To be continued)
