Chapter 303: Boating on the West Lake
After the liberation of Xuzhou, Ye Feng stayed in Xuzhou for another three days.
Within these three days, Ye Feng deployed a series of work, and Guo Weiquan stayed in Xuzhou for a while, and then returned to Hangzhou after handling these work.
This series of work includes the establishment of the Xuzhou Command of the newly formed 6th Army, and the commander of the Second Infantry Division temporarily served as the commander of the headquarters. After the establishment of the headquarters, the next step is to expand the troops and expand the scale of the troops in the Xuzhou area.
Based on the Second Infantry Division, two infantry divisions were established, namely the 11th Infantry Division and the 12th Infantry Division. In this way, in the near future, there will be three infantry divisions in the Xuzhou area.
The 1st Tank Regiment of the First Armored Division was expanded into the 3rd Armored Division. At the same time, the day after the restoration of Xuzhou, the 1st Tank Regiment went north to restore Zaozhuang.
As Zaozhuang's independent 5th Brigade went south to reinforce and was wiped out, the Zaozhuang area was empty, with only a few hundred Japanese troops and some puppet troops, and a group of tanks recovered Zaozhuang with almost no effort, and captured nearly a thousand puppet troops.
After the restoration of Zaozhuang, the first tank regiment was stationed in Zaozhuang and expanded into the Third Armored Division based on the first tank regiment.
The war in Xuzhou ended, and the airborne regiment returned to Hangzhou and Ningbo. At the same time, some pilot soldiers came from two major airports in Hangzhou and Ningbo. Xuzhou Airport will maintain the size of two "Air Fortress" bomber squadrons and three fighter squadrons in the future.
In order to strengthen the defense of Xuzhou Airport, Xuzhou Airport will deploy early warning radars, deploy twenty German 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 36 two-unit 40mm anti-aircraft guns, and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns.
The thousands of prisoners of puppet troops worked in the Xuzhou Airport area the day after the restoration of Xuzhou, restoring and expanding Xuzhou Airport.
After everything was deployed, Ye Fengcai returned to Hangzhou accompanied by Zhao Long, Long Yi, and twenty special forces members.
Shortly after returning to Hangzhou, after Ye Feng handled some of his recent official duties, Ye Feng took a plane to Chongqing in person and took Chen Ruoyun back to Hangzhou.
During this period, although there was no major war in China, and just a war in Xuzhou, the 6th Army broke out internationally. With Germany's blitz at Poland, World War II officially broke out.
This is not much different from history. The emergence of Ye Feng and the strong rise of the newly compiled 6th Army greatly changed China's history of the War of Resistance, but international changes not only did they develop basically according to the historical trajectory.
As the Sino-Japanese War entered a strategic stalemate, Japan began its southward advance plan and began to fight in Southeast Asia. A large number of Japanese troops began to formally invade Southeast Asia.
The wheel of history is rolling forward, and time has passed through 1939 and officially entered 1940.
After the Xuzhou war, the newly formed 6th Army had basically no major war, and the Japanese army basically took defense against the newly formed 6th Army. Ye Feng did not take the initiative to attack, but instead focused on vigorously developing.
After several consecutive months of steady development, the Hangzhou-Ningxia area is booming, and it is impossible to tell that this is the war era.
Major factories have mass production, and some factories have also undergone a second expansion, with sufficient resources and sufficient funds. These large factories are developing rapidly, and civilian factories are also booming. A large number of goods appear in street shops and are sold to the people.
The entire city of Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing and other cities are very prosperous, with a large number of goods, good quality and low price, and a wide variety of goods, which have attracted a large number of merchants across the country. These merchants flocked to Hangzhou and Ningbo to purchase goods in batches.
The newly-edition 6th Army also opened a lot of shops, and the goods produced by major factories were sold directly in these shops. Every day, the newly-edition 6th Army made money every day.
In addition, the prices of grain in the entire Hangzhou and Ningbo area are the cheapest and the quality is the best. After processing of grain from overseas transportation, they are sold to the people after being floss factories, rice factories and other factories.
A large number of grain merchants across the country gathered in Ningbo and directly purchased bulk from the newly-edition 6th Army, and then transported them back to all parts of the country for sale.
A large number of civilian factories are booming, and major military factories have also begun to mass produce weapons and equipment. Tank factories can already mass produce m4 Sherman tanks, armored vehicle factories can mass produce m3 half-track armored vehicles, and artillery factories can also produce 105mm howitzers...
Even the Ningbo shipyard has begun to enter normal production. Several warships are being built in the dock, and one of the huge docks is being built. Several destroyers are being built in the remaining docks.
With the "Nuwa" system, the technology is not a problem. Ye Feng took a big step to build an aircraft carrier directly.
Nowadays, naval powers around the world are still keen on developing battleships and giant ships and cannons. As a time traveler, Ye Feng knew that this era would soon decline and battleships would gradually decline.
In the future, it will be the world of aircraft carrier battle groups. Direct development of aircraft carriers will not consume resources on battleships, and this will be directly at the forefront of the world.
Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States had only five aircraft carriers. After the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States vigorously developed aircraft carriers. From 1942 to the end of World War II in 1945, the United States built more than 100 aircraft carriers, demonstrating its strong industrial strength.
It cannot be compared with the United States, but Ye Feng is also preparing to build an aircraft carrier and build a powerful Chinese navy.
Spring of 1940.
Winter has passed, the chill has gradually faded, and spring has begun to bloom everywhere.
At the end of last year, Ye Feng bought a property on the edge of the beautiful West Lake, a large garden-shaped courtyard covering an area of dozens of acres. Facing the West Lake, you can see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.
Gardens, rockery, pavilions, towers, etc. are all in one go. This garden built in the late Qing Dynasty is now Ye Feng’s private residence. Ye Feng hired servants, gardeners, and even chefs at his own expense. The newly formed 6th Army dispatched more than 100 guards to be specially responsible for protecting Ye Feng’s safety.
Such a large property would definitely be a sky-high price if it was in later generations. However, Ye Feng did not spend much money now. He bought it for only tens of thousands of oceans. The price was very fair.
"Brother Ye, I really went to West Lake to row a boat today!"
When Wang Xueying saw Ye Feng, she looked happy. Ye Feng took the initiative to ask Wang Xueying to go boating, and Wang Xueying immediately came over happily.
"Of course, today is very good, let's enjoy life."
It was rare to be idle and the weather was good. Ye Feng was moved to the West Lake to raft. Ye Feng took the initiative to make an appointment with him, and Wang Xueying naturally agreed happily and came over immediately.
Wang Xueying's brother is currently the director of the Hangzhou Police Bureau. The Wang family has purchased a lot of industries in Hangzhou. In the second half of last year, the Wang family moved to Hangzhou.
"Brother Ye, I've been exhausted recently." Wang Xueying said with concern.
Recently, Ye Feng has been very busy. Although there has been no big battle, Ye Feng has devoted a lot of effort to build the jurisdiction. Otherwise, how could there be such a big change in the entire Hangzhou and Ningbo area?
After a little preparation, Ye Feng took Wang Xueying's hand and went out. Since he was going to raft today, Ye Feng was naturally wearing casual clothes. From a distance, there were only a few guards to protect him.
Ye Feng's private residence is not far from West Lake, and it can be said that it is close to West Lake. It took the two of them not much time to walk. A cruise ship had already been prepared and parked by West Lake.
Looking at the beautiful West Lake, Wang Xueying said: "Brother Ye, the place you live in is so good. You can see West Lake as soon as you come out."
Ye Feng joked: "The place is good, but there is a mistress. Are you interested in coming here to live together?"
If it were Chen Ruoyun, he would definitely agree happily and even joke with Ye Feng, but Wang Xueying is different. Wang Xueying is relatively conservative. When she heard this, her face turned red and her head drooped.
When Ye Feng saw Wang Xueying's shy appearance, he couldn't help but gently hug Wang Xueying into his arms, full of pity.
