Qiao Youhua is really happy, once the Dragon's Tooth Column is equipped with Garand semi-automatic rifles, it will really become an advanced and invincible land and subway army that is proud of Asia, because its overall equipment level is ahead of Japan, not to mention that at this time, except for China and Japan, Siam and other foreign countries in Asia, they are basically colonies of European and American powers such as Britain, the United States and France, and there are not even a few truly independent countries.

Therefore, to be ahead of Japan is enough to be proud of the whole of East Asia.

In the future, the air force, artillery, tank armored forces, and even the navy will gradually be built and perfected, and it will really become a veritable military power, even if it can wrestle with the Germans, the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States.

"yes, good things come in pairs." Zuo Quan also nodded happily.

"By the way, Chief of Staff, how's the situation on the other side of Rehe?" Qiao Youhua was always busy running to the arsenal during this time, and he never had time to pay attention to the battle situation in Rehe.

Zuo Quan replied: "The progress is quite smooth, as we expected in advance, the devil's troops in Rehe are not enough, except for Chengde, Chifeng and other large and medium-sized cities where devils are stationed, the rest of the small and medium-sized towns are only local traitors and hooligans, puppet army stragglers composed of garrisons.

With backward equipment, low morale, and even more scum, we have advanced into the guerrillas, relying on the favorable geographical environment and the close integration of the local people, and have quickly opened up the situation, and now we have developed several base areas with a radius of more than 100 kilometers, and this area is still increasing.

"Well, we must go all out to support the advancing guerrillas, ask for guns for guns, ask for money and food, and hope that they will open up a communication route to the three northeastern provinces as soon as possible to help the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation develop again.

We need a strong anti-Japanese force behind enemy lines to constantly create trouble for the Kwantung Army in the northeast and drag them down. To support us as much as possible in our next campaign to recover Pingjin. Qiao Youhua said.

"Well, don't worry, I'll arrange this." Zuo Quan nodded.

…………

Yangmingbao is a local town located in the southeast of Chengde 300 miles, there were more than 100 puppet soldiers and traitors stationed in the town, these traitors rely on the power of the Japanese on weekdays, do whatever they want in the local area, do all the bad things, lawless, arrogant.

However, since the arrival of an anti-Japanese guerrilla force composed of about 20 officers and soldiers half a month ago, the good days of these puppet soldiers and traitors have come to an end.

More than 20 partisans carried Mauser rifles, pistols and two powerful MG34 general-purpose machine guns, and the firepower was very powerful.

When these puppet soldiers learned that the guerrillas were stationed in a village below the town of Yangmingbao and were developing their strength, they organized a hundred and ten people to go to encircle and suppress them.

was ambushed by this guerrilla force, and more than half of the traitors of the 100th puppet army were killed and wounded, and the rest fled back to the stronghold of Yangmingbao Town in a hurry, begging for mercy from their superiors, while sticking to their self-style, and never dared to show their faces again.

With the weapons and equipment captured in this ambush, the guerrillas quickly armed dozens of men and recruited hundreds of young men on a large scale, doubling their own strength several times.

At this time, the puppet army invited more than 300 puppet troops from the county town above to come to encircle and suppress, including a platoon of puppet cavalry.

After the guerrillas got the news, they immediately divided their troops into two routes, one setting up an ambush in the middle of the road, and the other directly taking the opportunity to attack the puppet army stronghold in Yangmingbao Town.

The ambush unit was armed with two MG34 general-purpose machine guns and most of the long and short guns, and suddenly opened fire when the puppet infantry cavalry passed by, taking the enemy by surprise.

Where the two tongues of fire shot by the general-purpose machine gun passed, the puppet infantry cavalry fell to the ground screaming, and other soldiers also opened fire, and after a fire strike, dozens of puppet cavalry and hundreds of puppet infantry were killed and wounded, lying on the ground.

During this period, they also tried to fire back, but the partisans had the "Hitler chainsaw" that caused the Japanese to see the scalp trouble, and the two general-purpose machine guns were two life harvesters for them.

Under the terrifying rate of fire was a dense rain of bullets, only with the backward 38 big cover and even the Liao 13 rifle in their hands, they were powerless to compete with it, and they forcibly shot back, there was only a dead end, not to mention the Mauser rifles used by the regular army and the Mauser pistols known as small charges.

Therefore, the remaining puppet troops saw that the situation was not good, and they turned around and fled, and the guerrillas immediately rushed out of the ambush position with shouts and launched a pursuit.

At the same time, the guerrillas of the other route successfully took the opportunity to capture the puppet stronghold in Yangmingbao Town, and by the time the defeated soldiers of the puppet army fled back, the back road had been cut off.

They were flanked by this guerrilla group and were all wiped out on the spot, of course, this elimination was not all killed, but their establishment was eliminated, because many of them chose to surrender and became prisoners when they were desperate.

In this way, this small guerrilla force, which originally had only more than 20 people, succeeded in recovering the town of Yangmingbao after a period of fighting and development, and eliminated three or four hundred puppet troops and traitors, and wiped out the local enemy forces.

In the following period of time, they developed very rapidly, and the base area centered on Yangmingbao Town expanded several times outward, and the strength of the army also grew from the initial 1,200 people to 2,000 or 3,000 militia and regular troops.

Such situations abound all over the whole of Rehe, far from large and medium-sized cities.

The situation in the whole of Rehe was rapidly eroding and deteriorating for the Japanese puppet army, but the momentum of the guerrillas of the Longya Column had risen, and when the main force of the Japanese army stationed in Chifeng and Chengde tried to encircle and suppress it, they found that the entire territory of Rehe, except for the main transportation routes and important towns, had basically become the world of the Eight Roads of the Dirt.

Often, when the Japanese army invaded the south, the guerrillas in the northeast, northeast, and west took the initiative to attack, attacking the strongholds of the devils and puppet armies and disrupting communications.

The devils and the puppet army really took care of their heads, pressed the gourd and got a scoop, they were so busy that the wolves were unbearable, and finally the Japanese army had to ask the Kwantung Army for reinforcements.

However, the Kwantung Army was transferring 30,000 cavalry from Shanhaiguan to the aid of the North China Front, and the remaining troops had to control an area of more than one million square kilometers in the entire three eastern provinces, and also guard against an attack that the Soviet Far East Army might launch at any time.

Where were the troops drawn to reinforce them, and in the end they only sent 3,000 Manchukuo puppet army cavalry from Liaoning into Rehe to fight with the Rehe Japanese puppet army, but these 3,000 cavalry were tantamount to a drop in the bucket for the Rehe Japanese army, which was already full of enemies.
