After receiving that all the guerrillas were basically accepted and withdrawn to the base area, on Qiao Youhua's side, Zheng Yunshan also withdrew to Cheng'an Town with the main force of the guard battalion and a guerrilla force active in Dingzhou.

Almost at the same time, the guerrillas in Angola also returned to Cheng'an Town, escorted by cavalry battalions, anti-aircraft artillery and tank detachments.

The two guerrilla detachments withdrew along with them, as well as more than 2,000 enthusiastic people from the guerrilla base areas in these two places, who dragged their families and families with them, and all defected to the Longya Column.

After all, they supported the development of the Dragon's Tooth guerrillas in the enemy-occupied area, and they have been put on the must-kill list by devils and traitors.

And Liu Yidao and Scarface, who were in charge of Quyang County, also said that they had successfully rendezvous with the Quyang guerrillas and were retreating southward, but because of the route, there was no need to take a detour to Cheng'an Town, just withdraw on their own.

Seeing that the time was ripe for withdrawal to the base area, Qiao Youhua immediately ordered the tanks, anti-aircraft guns, and cavalry units to be behind, the guard battalion to be in front, and the guerrillas to escort the people in the center, and to cross the river south from the secret shallow water point upstream of the Shahe Bridge.

After escorting the people to successfully cross the river, Qiao Youhua left behind half a guard battalion and a group of strong guerrillas, a total of six or seven hundred people, to fill mud and sandbags on both banks, fill the shallow riverbed, and pave wading bridges for tanks and military trucks.

With the strength of the large number of men and the strength of hundreds of officers and men, it took only two hours to complete the earthen bridge, and with a solid foundation, the No. 4 tank, which had already towed the military trucks with 88mm anti-aircraft guns, crossed the river one after another and returned to the south bank of the Shahe River.

The day before yesterday, Guo Meng sent people to transport a batch of fuel, which was also filled into the fuel tanks of military trucks and tanks before they evacuated from Cheng'an Town, so there was no need to worry about oil.

Returning to the south bank of the Sand River, even if it is the sphere of influence of the Dragon's Tooth Column base area, it is absolutely safe.

The devils and the puppet army were powerless at all, and they did not dare to pursue, Qiao Youhua and they quickly withdrew to Xinle County, and after resting in the county seat for a few hours, Qiao Youhua took the cavalry battalion and guard battalion, tanks, and anti-aircraft artillery detachments to the base camp Pingshan County first.

The guerrillas stayed behind and waited for the order of reorganization, and it was no surprise that the guerrillas in Quyang, Anguo, and Dingzhou were to be reorganized into a regiment, and they themselves were sent out by a regiment, and the strength of the regiment was now the smallest among the three regiments.

As for the people who migrated with them, they would also be arranged to live in the counties of Xinle, Lingshou, and Xingtang in the first defense area.

Without the restraint of the people, Qiao Youhua and their full mechanization and horseback marching, the speed of the march was greatly improved, it only took more than two hours, they passed through Lingshou County, arrived at the north bank of the Hutuo River, crossed the river, and after crossing the river, it took another two and a half hours to arrive at the base camp Pingshan County.

The troops returned to their respective stations to rest and recuperate, Qiao Youhua took a side three-wheeled motorcycle back to the headquarters compound in the city, it was very strange that he had sent a message to the political commissar Guo Meng before coming today, and said hello, but he did not go out of the city to greet him, so he returned triumphantly.

The motorcycle stopped outside the headquarters compound, and the guards outside the door saluted when they saw him, Qiao Youhua nodded and strode into the headquarters courtyard.

"Commissar Guo, Commissar Guo." Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, the political commissar Guo Meng had not yet come out to greet him, and Qiao Youhua couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Brother Qiao, the political commissar is not here." Xu Yuer, who was dressed as a nurse, suddenly walked out of the confidential room next to the conference room and ran over with a smile.

"Yu'er, how do you have time to come to the headquarters." Qiao Youhua looked at the beautiful Yu'er with some surprise.

"I'll come to see Sister Ruhan, the health department is not busy today." Xu Yuer said with a smile.

"Oh, where did the commissar go?" Qiao Youhua secretly looked at Xu Yu'er, who was wearing a nurse's uniform, and inevitably felt a flutter in his heart, and asked.

"The political commissar is busy in the arsenal, where can he be busy now, the factories are in intense production, power plants, steel mills, oil refineries and coal mines have also been put into use, the political commissar has not returned to the county seat to rest in the past few days, and his food and accommodation are in the arsenal." Xu Yuer said, her expression a little distressed.

"Oh, that's a hard work commissar." Qiao Youhua also had some feelings in his heart, and said: "You go to the confidential room, let Director Ruhan call the arsenal, and ask the political commissar to come back, I want to discuss with her about the reorganization and expansion of the army, and let the arsenal go first." ”

"yes, okay." Xu Yuer smiled sweetly and turned to leave.

It didn't take long for Guo Meng to rush over from the arsenal on a motorcycle, and Qiao Youhua immediately discussed with her about the next reorganization of the troops.

Up to now, the total strength of all units of the Dragon's Tooth Force has reached more than 35,000 people, including the puppet army captured in the previous stage of battle, the recruited recruits, and the guerrillas who have returned to each other this time.

After careful discussions, Qiao Youhua and Guo Meng decided to formally expand the three main regiments into a type A brigade, each of which will temporarily have three main infantry regiments, a number of battalions, companies, and units directly under the brigade headquarters, and three infantry regiments, all of which will be organized in accordance with the structure of the A regiment, and the total strength of each regiment will be as high as 25,600 or even 3,000 people.

In this way, the total strength of a Type A brigade will reach 9,000 to 10,000 people, which is actually the size of a Type B division.

Originally, Qiao Youhua meant to directly expand the three regiments into division-level combat units, but considering that there were only three division-level combat units in the combat sequence of our 18th Group Army, he retreated to the second best thing and temporarily reorganized them into brigades.

Just like the Dragon's Tooth Column, these are just temporary numbers for the troops.

In fact, in history, since the end of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the total strength of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army has reached one million, and the number of the troops is basically self-organized, except for the number of the three regular divisions, and various military regions, military divisions, divisions, brigades, columns, and other combat units have emerged one after another.

Of course, none of this is important, what matters is the equipment and combat effectiveness of the troops, these are the royal road.

In addition to the three Class A infantry brigades, several units directly under the column headquarters were all expanded into regimental-level combat units, and the guard battalion was expanded into a guard regiment.

The cavalry battalion was expanded and reorganized into a tank armored regiment, and after completion, it will have two tank and armored battalions, a cavalry battalion, and even an air defense battalion.

In addition, an air defense regiment will also be set up, and the soldiers will be drawn from the guard regiment and other units, and the existing batch of antiaircraft artillery cadets who have just graduated from the Longya Military Academy will be used as the backbone to form the formation.
