While Yue Weihan was busy improving his weapon, Okamura Ninji finally made a move.

In the first month of the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), the commander of the North China Front Army, Okamura Ningji, mobilized six divisions and regiments to launch a large-scale public security campaign against the land of North China.

………… Jingcheng County, Headquarters of the 39th Group Army.

All the officers above the brigade commander level had arrived, and the war room was crowded.

At this time, Yue Weihan had completed the final reorganization of the 39th Group Army, and among the nine main regiments of the Baoshan Division, Li Qinglong's 1st Regiment was separately organized into the Tumen Fortress Garrison Brigade, and the remaining eight regiments were broken up and incorporated into the 181st Division, the New 6th Division, the New 9th Division, and the newly organized Baoshan Division, and the guerrillas in southern Hebei also transferred back more than 50,000 elites and organized into 16 Regiments of Category A, which were respectively incorporated into the four main divisions.

Yue Weihan also carried out a drastic streamlining of the command structure of the group army, and there were no longer armies under the group army, and the combat units at the division and brigade levels directly under the jurisdiction were the 181st Division, the Baoshan Division, the New 6th Division, the New 9th Division, the Tumen Fortress Garrison Brigade, the Taihang Garrison Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, and the Artillery Brigade.

In addition, the brigade-level units under the main division were abolished, and the regiments were directly commanded by the division headquarters.

Under the premise that radio has been spread to all regiments, there is really no need to set up brigade-level units.

In terms of personnel, the senior generals of the original 181st Division, the new 6th Division, and the new 9th Division were completely purged, Bi Guangheng, Sun Dianying and others were all sent back to Yucheng by Yue Weihan, and Gao Shuxun became the only survivor of the fruits, and only arranged for the idle post of deputy commander-in-chief of the group army, and he was simply a bare-bones commander.

Yue Weihan's old unit was fully promoted and occupied important positions in all divisions and brigades.

Lu Xiufeng, Cao Xinglong, Chi Chengfeng, and Li Yulong were promoted to lieutenant generals at the same time, serving as division commanders of the 181st Division, the New 6th Division, the Baoshan Division, and the New 9th Division, respectively, and Li Qinglong, Hua Hanlin, Liu Fengsheng, and Niu Dagen were promoted to major generals at the same time, and served as brigade commanders of the Tumen Garrison Brigade, Taihang Garrison Brigade, Cavalry Brigade, and Artillery Brigade respectively.

Liu Yi was promoted to lieutenant general and served as chief of staff of the 39th Group Army.

In addition, the Taihang branch of the Central Military Academy was also officially listed in Niangziguan.

Yue Weihan personally served as the principal and senior conductor class, and Zhao Xinyi served as the director of the political department of the branch.

Chairman Chiang was angry not only because of the choice of director of the Political Department.

At first, Chairman Chiang intended to send a veteran of the Kuomintang to the Taihang branch to serve as the director of the political department, but Yue Weihan refused, and Chairman Chiang wanted to send dozens of instructors from the Central Military Academy to the Taihang branch, but was still rejected by Yue Weihan, to be honest, Yue Weihan really did not look down on the group of old instructors of the Whampoa Military Academy.

In terms of military training, Yue Weihan poached several old instructors who graduated from the Baoding Military Academy from the Jin Sui Army.

In addition, Liu Shi, the commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, who had studied at the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union, was also hired as a visiting instructor at the Taihang Branch, and he would also come to teach from time to time.

In order to get the military textbooks of the West Point Military Academy, Yue Weihan took a lot of effort.

First of all, Helen had a lot of connections in the United States, and dozens of transatlantic telegrams were sent, and then there was the transportation problem, in order to transport these dozens of textbooks into the Taihang base area, Chi Dianwen's underground communication line took a lot of risks, and several disciples of the Wuzi generation were exposed, and the price was not small.

In other words, Chi Dianwen's underground transportation line has already been activated.

There are two main parts of the materials smuggled through Chi Dianwen, one is medicines, and the other is high-tech chemical raw materials.

In the first half of the year, Chi Dianwen's underground transportation line really smuggled a lot of drugs and chemical raw materials in short supply to the base area, and made great contributions, but after the recovery of Shanxi, this underground transportation line was temporarily idle, because medicines, chemical raw materials and other materials could already be transported from the inland transportation line to the Taihang base area.

………… In the war room of the headquarters, the commanders of the four main divisions of the 39th Group Army, the commanders of the four major brigades, the captains of the special operations brigade and the captains of the teaching brigade have all arrived, and these ten have all climbed out of the pile of dead people with Yue Weihan, plus Liu Yi, chief of staff of the group army, it can be called the eleventh Taibao under Yue Weihan!

In recent months, the 11th Taibao has been studying hard at the Taihang branch.

In any case, guerrilla warfare in southern Hebei is carried out in companies and platoons, and there is almost no need for senior commanders.

Speaking of which, these eleven have already learned Yue Weihan's tactical command ability, and most of them can apply what they have learned in actual combat, the only thing missing is to systematically summarize these tactics and raise them to the height of theory, once they are perfected in theory, these guys' tactical command ability can definitely go to a big level.

At this time, Yue Weihan's eleventh Taibao is hilarious about the half-baked theory that Shen Kan has just learned.

"His grandmother's, when will the Taihang Arsenal be able to build hundreds of tanks, and then let the little devil of the dog taste the power of the tank cluster blitzkrieg!"

"It's impossible to build tanks, but even our cavalry brigade can almost exert the power of blitzkrieg."

"Just your cavalry brigade, and blitzkrieg? Dream on, the little devil will clean you up by digging two ditches. ”

"At this stage, we definitely don't have the capital to fight a blitzkrieg, but we can try to fight in depth."

"The big depth of the fart, our Taihang base is so big, a fart in the east, you can smell the smell in the west, where does the big depth come from? If you want me to say, it is the right thing to fight mountain warfare and jungle warfare with little devils, our Taihang Mountains are high and dense, and if we don't fight mountain warfare and jungle warfare, it is really a tyrannical thing! ”

"Hey, in front of a powerful artillery cluster, no tactics or theories are good!"

Cao Xinglong, Chi Chengfeng and others argued vigorously, but Gao Shuxun, who was standing in the corner, was bitter in his heart.

Speaking from his heart, Gao Shuxun really wanted to fight against the devils, he originally thought that after leading his troops to join the 39th Group Army, he would be able to show his skills on the battlefield of resisting the Japanese, but he never thought that Yue Weihan didn't trust them at all, but the batch of students who graduated from the Central Military Academy had already stepped into the front-line troops one by one.

"The general seat has arrived, Instructor Liu, Instructor Chen, and Instructor Yue have arrived!" Suddenly, the loud voices of the guards sounded outside the war room.

The 11th Taibao and Gao Shuxun turned their heads in unison when they heard the sound, only to see that Yue Weihan had already strode in accompanied by Commander Liu of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade, and Commander Yue of the Southern Hebei Military Region.

Seeing Yue Weihan and the others coming in, the Eleventh Taibao and Gao Shuxun stood up in unison.

Yue Weihan waved his hand, strode to the edge of the simulated sand table, and asked Liu Yi: "Chief of Staff, what is the specific situation?" ”

Liu Yi picked up the command pole and explained to the sand table: "Okamura Ningci mobilized six field divisions and regiments, and launched a sweep in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan provinces with the cooperation of eight reading mixed brigades. ”

"Four divisions plus two reading mixed brigades? That's more than 100,000 people! Yue Weihan smiled, turned back to Senior Commander Liu and said, "Senior Commander Liu, this old devil Okamura Ningji really looks up to us." ”

Senior Commander Liu smiled knowingly, in fact, it was completely reasonable for Okamura Ningji to make such a deployment.

In terms of the Eighth Route Army, the most powerful now is the 129th Division and the Southern Hebei Military Region, especially the Southern Hebei Military Region, Yue Weiguo's Reading Brigade has now expanded to 100,000 people, and it can be organized into ten B divisions.

Yue Weihan's 39th Group Army was similar, and after the second reorganization and transfer of 50,000 elites from local guerrillas, there were still 70,000 or 80,000 local guerrillas remaining in various counties in southern Hebei.

Yue Weihan's gaze turned to Director of the Intelligence Division Gao Jingwu again, and asked, "Director Gao, does the Intelligence Division have any specific battle plans for the army?" ”

"Not yet." Gao Jingwu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Recently, the cipher code of the little devil has been changed frequently, and often we have just deciphered it, but the little devil has already begun to use the new ciphercode, so the decipherment pressure of our intelligence department is very great, and it is much more difficult than before to grasp the specific battle plan of the army in time." ”

Yue Weihan couldn't help frowning, if the intelligence war was lost, he could only rely on his own judgment.

Thinking of this, Yue Weihan's heart suddenly moved, isn't there a "great" strategist standing next to him? At that moment, Yue Weihan turned around and asked Senior Commander Liu: "Senior Commander Liu, your strategic vision is unparalleled, in your opinion, what will be the ultimate goal of Okamura Ningji's sweep this time?" ”

"Commander-in-Chief Yue is too polite, your strategic vision is much more powerful than mine." Division Commander Liu said modestly, and said, "As for the operational goal of the army's sweep this time, it should be to restore the occupied areas, that is, to recapture the lost strongholds along the railways and highways, as well as the major county seats. ”

"The army will not attack the base of our army and your army?" Yue Weihan Road.

"Definitely not!" Master Liu said confidently, "At least this sweep won't." ”
