Li Zong, a native of western Sichuan, is 28 years old. Orion was born, he has a good gun, and he can hit 100 shots from 200 meters away, and he can pull the trigger when he raises his gun. This person was previously a platoon commander of the Second Regiment of Guanzhong Security, and later joined the army as a supplementary soldier to the 61st Army. In the past few months, this guy has killed a total of 158 Japanese puppet soldiers, which is the most killed enemy among the ordinary soldiers of the 61st Army, and he is also a famous combat hero of the 222nd Division.

Two months ago, Li Zong was transferred to the division headquarters as the deputy commander of the first battalion of the division headquarters guard regiment, and at the same time served as the instructor of the sniper squadron of the 222nd division. Chen Feng really knew Li Zong when he was training in the sniper squadron of the 222nd Division, and after the assessment, Chen Feng found that this guy was really a natural sniper, and he was also a genius sniper. He doesn't need to aim at the effective range of 200 meters in the 38 big cover, and he doesn't need to aim in the 79 sniper rifle with a longer range, this guy also doesn't need to aim, and the running earth dog is killed by one shot 500 meters away, and what wind speed and range don't seem to have any effect on this guy.

In view of Li Zong's special ability, Chen Feng deliberately exchanged this guy with 30 120 heavy mortars and Li Yifeng, and at the same time transferred 60 snipers from the special combat team to form a sniper squadron, which was commanded by Li Zong. The mission of the sniper group is to conduct special operations deep behind enemy lines. Carry out cold gun and cold artillery tactics against the enemy, and use the super lethality of snipers to carry out tactical intimidation against the Japanese puppet army.

On 15 February, the General Headquarters of the 40 th Group Army issued a circular stating that from now on, the whole army will launch a three-month large-scale military training activity, and the specific training will be arranged by each division itself. The army group command is only responsible for the assessment after three months.

In addition, Chen Feng ordered the garrisons in various localities to immediately begin preparations for the establishment or restoration of local political power, and that long-fallen counties and districts such as Kangbao and Guyuan must form a lean and concise local government, which is related to whether the troops can gain a foothold in the local area.

In fact, internal enrichment is internal development, which requires not only military construction, but also administrative construction. In the past, it was just a small Suinan Agency, and the chassis was only more than ten counties, and Chen Feng had the ability and confidence to completely control these dozen counties.

But now he is in charge of an entire province with 27 counties and two municipalities. There are more than 2 million people in the area. Any one of his decisions can be a matter of life and death for millions of people. More importantly, Chahar Province is surrounded by enemies on three sides, and its strategic position is extremely poor. To the north there was the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia, to the east it was close to the Beijing-Tianjin area, and to the south it was close to the Xinkou front. If the Japanese attack from three sides at the same time. Even the current 40th Group Army can only ensure that the original 10 or so counties and cities will not be lost. In other regions, there is no guarantee at all.

Therefore, Chen Feng sent telegrams to the garrisons in Kangbao, Guyuan, Chongli, Chicheng, and other areas close to the enemy-occupied areas, urging all localities to move the people to Xinghe, Jining, Chayouqianqi, Taolin, and other places as far as possible, and which places were too close to the front line. Once a war breaks out, the first people to suffer are the common people.

Moreover, the development of the army now requires manpower, and the construction of the province also needs a large number of laborers, and no matter how many young and middle-aged people come to the province, there is no fear, and there are places to settle them.

On 18 February, Chen Feng convened a provincial military and political conference in Zhangjiakou, which must be attended by military and political chiefs of all regions.

At the meeting, Chen Feng made an administrative division of Chahar Province, which was divided into three administrative regions, namely Chanan Prefecture, Suinan Prefecture, and Yanbei Prefecture. With Zhangjiakou as the administrative center, Chanan Prefecture has jurisdiction over Zhangjiakou City, Wanquan County, Huai'an County, Xuanhua County, Chongli County, Chicheng County, Zhangbei County, Shangyi County, Guyuan County and Kangbao County. Suinan Administrative Prefecture takes Jining as the administrative center, and has jurisdiction over Jining City, Shangdu, Fengzhen, Chayouqianqi, Taolin, Huade, Chayouzhongqi, Chayouhouqi, Siziwangqi, and Zhuozi County.

Different from the Chanan Administrative Prefecture, although there are 10 counties in the Suinan Administrative Prefecture, Jining was only a county before, and it was just upgraded to a city, and Huade County in the remaining 10 counties was divided from the two counties of Xinghe and Shangdu, mainly to deal with the Japanese puppet army in the direction of the Yellow Flag, the White Flag, the Blue Flag and the Taifusi Flag. There is also the Chayouzhong Banner, Chacha Right Rear Banner and Zhuozi County are still controlled by the Japanese puppet army, and the Siziwang Banner is jointly controlled by Chen Feng's department and the Japanese puppet army, and the Japanese army occupies the administrative center of the Siziwang Banner, Wulanhua, but Chen Feng's department and the Siziwang tribe control most of the territory except Wulanhua.

With Datong as the administrative center, Yanbei Prefecture has jurisdiction over Datong City, Datong County, Yanggao County, Tianzhen County, Hunyuan County, Guangling County, Lingqiu County, Yangyuan County, Wei County, Youyu County, Zuoyun County, Huairen County, Ying County, Shanyin County and Shuo County.

The 40 th Group Army now has under the jurisdiction of the 101st Division, the 222nd Division, the Seventh Independent Division, the Instructor, the Special Operations Division, the Cavalry Group, the Xinghe Garrison Brigade, the Jining Garrison Brigade, the Taolin Garrison Brigade, the Guard Brigade, the Air Defense Brigade, the Armored Brigade, and the Aviation Brigade. After the adjustment, the Seventh Independent Division and the Xinghe Garrison Brigade were transferred to the Chanan Prefecture, and Xu Hu was appointed director and security commander of the Chanan Prefecture, in charge of the two regular troops in the Chanan Prefecture, as well as all independent battalions and militia units.

The cavalry group, the 222nd Division, and the Taolin Garrison Brigade were stationed in the Suinan Prefecture, with Li Yifeng, commander of the 222nd Division, serving as the director of the prefecture and the commander of security.

The 101st Division and the Jining Garrison Brigade were stationed in the Yanbei Prefecture, and Li Wensheng served as the director of the prefecture and the commander of the security, responsible for dealing with the Japanese puppet army on the Xinkou front.

In addition, Xinghe County was immediately upgraded to the Xinghe Independent Zone, the headquarters of the group army and the capital of Chahar Province, and the instructors, special operations divisions, guard brigades, air defense brigades, armored brigades, and aviation brigades directly under the group army headquarters were stationed in Xinghe from now on.

As a result of the readjustment, the administrative regions of various localities have been refined, and at the same time, the various units have been able to clearly define their own defense areas. On the one hand, the reason why the General Headquarters of the Group Army is placed in Xinghe is, of course, because Xinghe has the existence of the Daqingshan base, which is an important guarantee for the development of Chen Feng's department. More importantly, because Xinghe's geographical location is so important, it is an important hub connecting Chahar, Shanxi, Hebei and Suiyuan provinces, only 200 kilometers from Zhangjiakou, 190 kilometers from Datong and 65 kilometers from Jining. Regardless of which of the three special areas has a problem, the General Headquarters can rescue it in the shortest possible time.

In addition, Xinghe is not far from the Saibei grassland and Guisui, although Chahar is good, but after all, it is the land of four wars. For the Japanese army, the 40th Army nailed to Chahar was like a fishbone, like a fish in the throat. Once the Japanese army regained its combat effectiveness, the first thing it wanted to get rid of was definitely the 40th Group Army, after all, Zhangjiakou was only 300 kilometers away from Beiping, which was equivalent to a thorn in the back of the Japanese army, always reminding the Japanese army not to act rashly.

How can you allow others to snore next to the couch, let alone the Japanese, even if Chen Feng encounters such a thing, he will try his best to pull out this thorn. Therefore, Chahar is not the most ideal place for development, so if the time is ripe, Chen Feng will move the development center from Chahar.

Looking at the surrounding areas, only Suiyuan is the most suitable for the development of the 40th Group Army. Although Suiyuan is located in the northern grassland, it does not lack mineral resources, whether it is coal or steel resources that Chen Feng's department urgently needs, Suiyuan has everything. In addition, Suiyuan is located in the grassland, where the Japanese puppet army is not very strong, as long as the combat effectiveness of the troops is restored, Chen Feng is confident that Guisui, Baotou and other big cities will be recovered.

More importantly, Chen Feng has a huge plan in his heart, and this plan is called the arms plan. Why is it called such a strange name, because Chen Feng's plan is mainly based on arms trafficking.

What business is the most profitable in this era, it is undoubtedly arms. A casual heavy machine gun costs several hundred oceans, and as far as the cost of a heavy machine gun is concerned, it is not even 10 oceans, and the two words "several thousand percent profit" and windfall profits are no longer enough to describe the earning power of the arms business.

Moreover, now that the chaos in the world has been revealed, in Europe, Mussolini has been in power in Italy for 15 years, and it can be said that his position has been very solid. The mustache of Germany was also inaugurated as German Chancellor last year and became head of state four years ago.

Under his leadership, Germany's economy began to transform into a wartime economy, and at the same time, the German Wehrmacht expanded from 100,000 to 300,000. And in 36 brazenly drove into the Rhine demilitarized zone, and also built fortifications along the Rhine. At this time, the stupid countries of Britain, France, and the United States have restrained the mutual defense articles that they had already signed because of their own quarrels, and all their actions have been only verbal protests.

It was also in '36 that Germany signed an alliance with Japan, and soon after Italy joined the Covenant, and the Axis powers from Berlin to Rome to Tokyo were formed, and the two sources of war in Asia and Europe were formed, and the clouds of war were expanding at an unprecedented rate, threatening to break out at any time.

What is most precious in wartime is undoubtedly weapons and ammunition, and even if you have a whole vehicle of gold and silver, no one will necessarily sell you advanced weapons and equipment, so Chen Feng concluded that the arms business will be one of the hottest businesses in the next few years.

In the past, China was too backward and poor, and it did not have the weapons and equipment that the Western powers could look up to. But now it is different, he has the standard rifle Mauser 98K in service with the German Wehrmacht, he has the Type 75 anti-aircraft machine gun and the Type 79 sniper rifle that surpass this year and a half-century, and at the same time he has a 120mm heavy mortar and a 105mm heavy howitzer, of course, he has the most advanced automatic rifle and submachine gun and pistol in the world, and most importantly, he has the most advanced tank in the world.
