AFTER THE RESTRUCTURING OF THE NORTHWEST ARMY, THE INDEPENDENT HEAVY ARTILLERY REGIMENT HAD JURISDICTION OVER A 12-GUN 150MM HEAVY HOWITZER BATTALION, AN 18-GUN 105MM HOWITZER BATTALION, AND AN 18-GUN 75MM FIELD ARTILLERY BATTALION. The original independent artillery brigade of the Northeast Army added up to 75MM mountain artillery, although there are 108 artillery pieces of various types on the field artillery, but these artillery pieces are originally left over from the Northeast Army, and it has been more than ten years now, and the maintenance of artillery is not as good as that of the Northwest Army, and it is only sixty or seventy guns that can really be put into battle, although it is nearly twice as strong as the independent heavy artillery regiment of the Northwest Army in terms of quantity, but it is not only inferior to the independent heavy artillery regiment in terms of caliber. AFTER THE NORTHWEST ARMY INTRODUCED A LARGE NUMBER OF TECHNOLOGIES FROM GERMAN'S KRUPP AND RHEINMETALL, THE POWER OF THE 75MM GUN WAS ALSO STRONGER THAN THAT OF THE ORIGINAL NORTHEAST ARMY'S ARTILLERY, WHICH WAS MAINLY BASED ON IMITATION OF JAPANESE WEAPONS.

AS FOR THE INDEPENDENT HEAVY ARTILLERY BRIGADE UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF WANG TIEHAN'S 6TH ARMY, IT HAS A 150MM HOWITZER REGIMENT, A 105MM HOWITZER REGIMENT, A 75MM FIELD ARTILLERY REGIMENT, A COMBAT DEFENSE ARTILLERY BATTALION, AND A REINFORCED AIR DEFENSE BATTALION. Wang Yishan couldn't think of it in the Shaanxi army before.

"Yes, this is another mechanized brigade, another separate heavy artillery brigade, another heavy artillery regiment. What's even more terrifying is that these things are basically made by the northwest itself, and Jiang Li can bear it. If the Shaanxi army had such things in their hands, they would have swept through the Central Plains a long time ago and taken Henan and Hebei into their hands first. Sun Weiru, who has a better psychological quality than Wang Yishan, also said with a palpitating face.

"Compared with the Japanese army, the northwest is now also a layout on several sides, and now the northwest has shown the strength to integrate the entire north, we don't dare to squeak in Henan Liu Zhi, really wait until Wang Tiehan's 6th Army arrives one after another, I think it will be difficult for Liu Zhi to breathe by then."

"He and Wei Lihuang are tied together, and it is not enough for the 6th Group Army to see. Two mechanized brigades, and so many heavy artillery, rely on Liu Zhi, what can they do to compete with the Northwest Army. Sooner or later, Henan will have to be northwest. ”

Yang Hucheng said disdainfully, if it weren't for Feng Qinya's betrayal of the 17th Route Army and his choice to return to the central part of Nanjing, Liu Zhi's 8th Army might not have been afraid.

"Northwest, northeast. The Shaanxi Army and the Red Army are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, Jiang Li is still tolerant of people, and he also has the bearing of tolerant people, which Nanjing can't compare. The three group armies of the Central Plains Field Army, plus Sun Dianying and others, as well as Liu Zhi's 8th Group Army, plus the aviation troops deployed in Henan in the northwest, add up to more than 500,000. At the moment, the Japanese soldiers are divided. Although what we need to deal with in person is the main force of the Japanese army in North China, but if we grit our teeth, we can still survive, but now the situation in the Republic of China affects the whole body, whether we can gain a foothold in the Central Plains, we don't have to see whether the Nanjing side is beaten, if they lose too quickly, we can only catch the blind. ”

"Five armies were organized in the Northwest together. The strength of the 18th Group Army and the 5th Group Army in Suiyuan, which entered Shanxi, was not weak, and the northwest was still training and replenishing troops. Those supplementary soldiers have all taken guns, and a considerable part of them are the former militiamen, which are much stronger than we can just pull a few people, except for the needs of the Northwest Army to expand the army, according to the current rate of attrition, it is enough to deal with the current war for a considerable part of the time. This Jiang Li's preparation for today's war of resistance against the Japanese army can really be regarded as sufficient. ”

Although Wang Yishan had opinions on Jiang Li because he was not promoted to chief of staff of the group army, he had to admit at this time how well-intentioned Jiang Li was in preparing for this war of resistance. Whether it's ordnance, ammunition, or the rate of depletion on soldiers. With the supply capacity of the northwest at this time, it is also the most secure in the hearts of several people.

"Jiang Li has prepared more than this for today's situation. Didn't you notice that the speed of the army after entering Henan was not lower than that of Shaanxi? These bridges, a considerable part of the highways, were originally planned by Jiang Li a long time ago, and the northwest spent a lot of money to build a direct railway to Henan, presumably for today. There are also some airfields that are being repaired in various parts of Henan, not only to replenish troops, but also to replenish the tanks consumed by the 2nd Mechanized Brigade in the previous battle with the Japanese army, as well as a large number of aircraft damaged in the battle. If you really want to talk about it, I rarely convince people in my life, although Jiang in Nanjing has made me obedient, but he is also a capable person, but the real convincing is Jiang Li, if there is no Northwest Army, this time the Japanese army launched a war to destroy the country, we are really hanging. ”

Yang Hucheng sighed from the bottom of his heart. Sun Liren was in Anyang to make up for the need, in order to keep secrets, the transportation of tanks was escorted by a special army along the way, and Yang Hucheng sent an army to escort a section. Of course he knew that.

"This foreign thing is very expensive, I didn't expect the northwest to be able to get it, this is really convincing in the northwest."

Sun Weiru said hesitantly, although the 3rd Group Army did not prepare a mechanized brigade, but the other two group armies have, which is not bad, after all, they also have tanks in front, although the number is a little less, it can solve a considerable part of the problem, for the invulnerable Iron King Ba, Sun Weiru feels numb when he thinks about it, even if the 3rd Group Army is now equipped with a large number of battle defense guns, but when it really fights, the battle defense guns are often the losing side in the face of tanks. In the battle of Langfang, Sun Liren's achievements not only surprised foreigners, but also excited the Chinese. The Northwest Army not only had outstanding aircraft performance, but it was not without means to counterbalance the Japanese army in tanks, which was enough. In the Shaanxi army, where the firepower was not strengthened before, Sun Weiru was really helpless to take those Iron Kings.

"In short, now that the foundation of the Northwest has been solidified, it is okay to complain, and some fancy intestines that violate the interests of the Northwest should not be made out, otherwise there will be any chaos at that time, and I will not be able to tolerate it." Sun Weiru Yang Hucheng was not worried, and looked at Wang Yishan with some warning in his eyes at this time.

"How can it, commander, what do you think of the local battle over there in Rong County, now the main force of Zhao Tieshu's group army is on the same page as the 6th Division of the Japanese Army in several counties around Rong County." Wang Yishan's face froze, and he quickly shifted the topic to the war in the north.

"The Northwest Army has been in the limelight for a period of time, our Shaanxi army has not made an inch of merit since it came out of Tongguan, the commander, and he is willing to personally lead his troops north to reinforce him, and let others see that the national disaster is at the head, and our Shaanxi army is also worthy of war." Sun Weiru took the initiative to ask.

"It's okay, I'll transfer some cars for you, and pull the independent heavy artillery regiment up, before Zhao Tieshusheng was caught off guard by beating the Japanese army, and now the main force of the Japanese front is pressing up, not to mention a Zhao Tieshu, plus my 3rd Group Army, it is also difficult to deal with, you have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise the 2nd Group Army will lose too much, and the battle of Baoding and Shijiazhuang will not be easy to fight." Yang Hucheng nodded and said, Sun Weiru can only stand alone at this time, and Yang Hucheng naturally attaches great importance to the first battle of the Shaanxi army. Yang Hucheng also had only one independent heavy artillery regiment in his hands at this time, and the equipment of the Northwest Army was originally good, so he naturally transferred it to his henchmen, as for the Northeast Army under his command, it was not used for consideration for the time being.

"Humble duty will definitely not disgrace the mission!" (To be continued.) )
