With the arrival of more than 100,000 Jewish refugees who were driven over by the Soviet Union, the changes in the base area of North Manchuria are getting faster day by day. There are more than 10 industrial and mining enterprises such as wood factories. During the same period, in order to meet the needs of agricultural and sideline products processing and construction projects, the production units successively built 76 workshops of various types, such as small-scale power generation, rice milling, flour grinding, oil extraction, ginning, repairing, leather, quilting, sawmilling, bricks and tiles, ceramics, and printing, thus initially laying the foundation for the development of our party's industry in northeast China.

A few months have passed, and after more than half a year of busyness, the entire base area has slowly ushered in the most important harvest period of the year. Looking at the golden waves of wheat, the tall corn cobs, and the green potato seedlings in the base area, Meng Qingshan knew that this year would definitely be a bumper harvest year in the entire base area, which also indicated that his more than 100,000 troops would not be short of food.

Of course, the grain in the base area, because it is in the rear of the base area, will not fall into the hands of the little devils. However, within the scope of the Japanese army, there are also countless fertile fields and countless grains. But these grains, except for leaving some food for the people, basically all the rest fell into the hands of the little devils. The little devil used the food handed in by the common people as military food, and then ate and drank enough. He is picking up the weapons in his hands and killing the Chinese people. At that time, a large part of the military rations of the Japanese army in the Kannai were transported from the northeast.

From the information that has been constantly coming from the enemy in the past few months, it has been calculated that the Japanese Kwantung Army has almost doubled its strength in just a few months. This made Meng Qingshan very shocked, although their combat effectiveness was not as good as the previous veterans, but the number of these Japanese troops made Meng Qingshan very worried, the Kwantung Army increased by more than 100,000 people, but fortunately, the eyes of the Japanese army were all attracted by the battlefield in the Guannai, that is, the battle of 100 regiments that shocked China and foreign countries, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Zhu, the Eighth Route Army mobilized more than 100 regiments, on a front of more than 2,000 kilometers in North China. Launched a large-scale attack on the Japanese army in North China, pulled out the enemy's blockhouses and strongholds close to the base area, blew up railways, bridges, and highways, and paralyzed the Japanese army's communication lines.

When the Japanese emperor and ministers in Tokyo received this news, they were completely stupid, when did so many people appear on the Dohachi Road, which had been engaged in guerrilla warfare. Could it be that the Communist Party developed its armed forces so powerfully, first with Meng Qingshan in Manchuria, and then with the Eighth Route Army in Guannei, in order to defend the battlefield in North China. The Japanese emperor had to order the newly expanded Japanese Kwantung Army to transfer two infantry divisions and a Mongolian cavalry wing to the Guannai to support.

After several months of construction and development, thousands of anti-coalition military workers, as well as mechanical experts, firearms experts, and skilled workers among the Jews, have assembled the equipment. As soon as the supporting iron and steel plant, gun powder factory, gun powder factory, and copper smelting plant are completed and put into operation, there are suitable raw materials. Barge guns, K98 rifles, Tom submachine guns, Lewis light machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, 82 mortars, 75 mountain guns, and anti-United Nations wooden-handled grenades will begin to equip the troops.

The Nenjiang Arsenal received the Soviet Union's Mosingana rifle production equipment, and is developing new 7.62 mm semi-automatic, automatic rifles, light and heavy machine guns and corresponding ammunition with the help of Jewish military experts. Due to the limitations of equipment, materials and processing technology, the progress is relatively slow, and there will be no major breakthroughs in a short period of time. Of course, although the KL-47 can be produced, the rate of bullet consumption is not something that the anti-union can withstand, so other weapons have to be developed, and the KL-47 can only be applied on a small scale.

What is even more gratifying is that the number of technical arms has increased by a large margin, and wireless communication troops and engineer troops have been assigned to the battalion. The 60 mortars developed by the Nenjiang Arsenal were organized into platoons and were ready to gradually replace the grenadiers with low accuracy and low power. Each division has set up special forces detachments, each division has added mountain artillery battalions and 100-mm heavy mortars, and each base area has an antiaircraft artillery battalion or company

Early in the morning, Meng Qingshan washed his face early and after eating, Meng Qingshan rushed to the armored brigade established less than three months ago with a company of guard troops to see if they were as good as Sun San said, if it was really reported to Sun San, then Meng Qingshan decided to use the Japanese army in Heihe Fortress as the debut of the anti-United Nations armored brigade, in the past few months, Meng Qingshan was busy with production and construction problems and economic problems, and at the same time urged the army to train and expand, and there was no time to see the situation of the armored brigade. The purpose of his visit today was to test the results of the armored brigade's training in the past three months.

In the past few months, due to the fact that the political commissar has purchased some raw materials from the Soviet Union, coupled with the help of Jewish military experts, the 918 rocket artillery has become more accurate and perfect. In total, 12 rocket launchers were modified in just a few months.

The armored brigade includes three armored regiments, of which each armored regiment includes a tank company composed of four tanks, an armored company composed of three armored vehicles, four 918 rocket artillery pieces form a rocket artillery company, a battalion of coordinated infantry, and another is a transport company containing eight large trucks. The brigade has a total strength of 2,900 troops, equipped with 12 tanks, 9 armored vehicles, 24 vehicles, 2,169 rifles, 127 light machine guns, 9 heavy machine guns, 30 grenadiers, 18 mortars and 184 pistols.

In fact, at the beginning, the headquarters elected two candidates, one was Zhu Guang, the commander of the artillery division, and the other was Sun San, the deputy commander of the artillery division, but Meng Qingshan no matter what others said, directly let Sun San be the brigade commander, although he fell from the deputy division commander to the brigade commander, but Sun San was very happy, because what he studied in the Soviet military academy was to learn tanks and artillery technology, and the entire Anti-Japanese Federation could be said to have no one who knew this thing better than him, so Sun San made a military order in front of Meng Qingshan, Within three months, it is guaranteed that the armored brigade will be able to train its combat effectiveness to no lesser extent.

In order not to let the Japanese puppet spies know, Meng Qingshan deliberately built a wall in the training ground of the armored brigade, and arranged a large number of sentry posts around the wall, Meng Qingshan came to the door and heard the sound of "boom boom" from inside the wall, Meng Qingshan was a repairman who felt very familiar when he heard this sound, he knew that it was the roar of the engine, the sound of the machine rumbled, and the tanks were accompanied by armored vehicles in front of the road, and behind them there were hundreds of infantry following the tanks and armored vehicles. On the vast exercise ground, they crossed the trench, rushed up the sand dunes, and waded through the sand river to avoid enemy fire and cover the charge of their comrades...... At this time, there were several officers standing on a high slope at the edge of the exercise ground, overlooking the entire exercise ground with binoculars, and discussing a few times from time to time.

When the officer saw Meng Qingshan's arrival, he hurriedly walked over and saluted Meng Qingshan and said, "Commander-in-chief, why are you here?" ”

"Why can't I come here yet, is it because the troops haven't been trained yet, I'm afraid I'll tell you, you promised me that you would train them into qualified armored soldiers in three months, what is happening now?" Meng Qingshan asked with a smile.

"Commander-in-chief, look."

"I just looked at it from a distance and it was very spectacular, Brigadier Sun, I really can't imagine it, what are these rabbit cubs under your command really doing, it's only been three months, look at it like this, there should be some combat effectiveness, it has always been a little devil who has these equipment to fight us, and now we should let them taste our power, although the number is a little less, but everything is difficult at the beginning, we have to train these people as much as possible, we are people waiting for tanks, we can't let tanks wait for us, once the front captures the Japanese tanks, The army is going to be expanded, but no one will delay the battle, which is also the strength of you people should be a regiment, and I will give you the title of a brigade. Meng Qingshan said.

Sun San said with a smile: "It's all taught well by the commander-in-chief, and there are these soldiers, all of whom are the backbone of our troops, with high culture, strict grasp, hard training, and a high elimination rate. There are also those Jewish young men, they are very smart, they can endure hardships, they are willing to study, they are bold and careful, they are quick to react, they are very quick to master weapons and technical movements, and now they are the main members of our brigade, without them our armored brigade would have to be disbanded, and nine of the twelve tanks are under their control.
