Chapter 708: Two months later

Beiping City, the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese invasion of China.

Sugiyama Mototo, and Kawabe Shozo were ecstatic with a telegram from the base camp, which finally agreed to their request and decided to send three of the most elite divisions of the Kwantung Army to help.

Moreover, with the addition of 100,000 Manchukuo Army, they were pleasantly surprised, and it seemed that they had seen the dawn of victory, and the shame of many previous defeats finally had a chance to wash away in one fell swoop.

After some excitement, Sugiyama finally regained his composure, and said to the chief of staff Kawabe Shozo in high spirits: "Hebian-kun, the Kwantung Army is about to enter the pass, and we can't be idle, immediately dispatch a mobilization of troops to prepare to carry out another encirclement and suppression of the Dragon's Tooth Column!" ”

Kawabe Shozo immediately received the order to do it, and in the end, the North China Front transferred the 26th Division, the main force of the Mongolian army, which had not been willing to use.

In addition, there are more than 20,000 puppet Mongolian cavalry, plus the garrisons in Baoding, Cangzhou, Dezhou in the south, and Hengshui, and the number of Japanese puppet troops can also exceed 100,000 troops.

This is already the limit of what the North China Front can mobilize at the present stage, and as for the troops stationed in Shanxi, Shandong, and other regions, they cannot be withdrawn at all, and if they are forcibly transferred, the situation in these two areas will be completely out of control.

When the devil was busy mobilizing troops, Qiao Youhua was not idle, ordering his subordinates to step up the training of officers and soldiers in various departments, while urging the arsenal to work overtime and produce day and night.

More than 10 days have passed in a blink of an eye, and after such a period of training, the units have passed the initial run-in period, and their overall combat effectiveness is gradually improving.

And Hu Linger also took a group of Dragon Shadow Guard experts from Tianjin and secretly sneaked back to the base camp of Pingshan Base Area, while Wan Hu and others stayed in Tianjin, continued to find out news for Qiao Youhua, and recruited Jianghu experts to join Dragon Shadow Guard.

However, due to the extremely concealed movement of the Japanese army, Long Yingwei has not yet discovered it, mainly because Long Yingwei has been formed for too short a time, and its sphere of influence has not yet extended to the four provinces outside the Guanxi and the northwest border area.

This situation will gradually improve as Long Yingwei continues to grow and develop in the future.

After Hu Ling'er came back, Qiao Youhua didn't care about having an intimate get-together with her to appease the feelings of separation, so he ordered her to take someone to the Central Plains to try to find out the news of Chu Hanyun's brother and rescue her.

Not very relieved, Qiao Youhua asked Lin Xian'er to go with the black rose that had already been half committed to herself.

Although Black Rose provided accurate information, allowing herself to put a nest of military commanders lurking inside the base area, and expressed her willingness to surrender, and, from her charming eyes, Qiao Youhua saw the temptation? Confuse.

However, Qiao Youhua keenly felt that this woman should not be too close, and it would be dangerous if she was close, so she had never really been reused, and this time she was sent out, which was completely valuable for her to use.

With the help of Black Rose, a former high-level spy who was familiar with the road, the good news was secretly passed back to Qiao Youhua after another half a month.

In the case of Black Rose, Lin Xian'er, and Hu Ling'er joining forces, they successfully robbed the prison in the Central Plains and rescued the tortured Brother Chu Hanyun, who was almost humanoid.

Subsequently, together with the parents and relatives of the Chu family who had been moved by them and arranged by them, they secretly escorted them on the road together, and were secretly rushing into the Longya base area.

With this good news, Qiao Youhua then asked people to notify Chu Hanyun, but did not go to see her again, although Chu Hanyun was not like words, but Qiao Youhua did not want to report with him in this matter.

She confessed sincerely, helped herself catch Black Rose, and then destroyed the internal latent spy organization, and helped her rescue her brother and family, neither of them owed anyone, and the two were cleared.

Although the two of them had a love of fish and water, it was because Chu Hanyun wanted to assassinate him and lost his life, which can be regarded as self-inflicted.

Knowing that his brother was saved, his parents and other relatives were rushing to the Longya anti-Japanese base, Chu Hanyun was overjoyed, and cried with joy, and took the initiative to ask to see Qiao Youhua, but was blocked by the guards who did not get Qiao Youhua's instructions.

Feeling grateful, she had to press the excitement in her heart first, return to her residence, and wait for her parents and relatives to arrive, and then think of repaying Qiao Youhua.

Time flies, passes like water, and in a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and more than two months have passed since Qiao Youhua originally expanded the troops.

After such a long period of running-in training, all units have fully adapted themselves to their current establishment and equipment, and their combat effectiveness has been raised to the peak of what their existing equipment and weapons can bring into play.

After recuperating for so long, the morale of the officers and men of all brigades and regiments and battalions is high, and some veteran soldiers are even a little complaining and have not fought for a long time.

The desire to fight is very strong, and in the arsenal, due to the continuous skillful running-in of skilled workers and assembly line machines, the production speed is much faster than at the beginning.

In more than two months, the tank factory produced fourteen more tanks for Qiao Youhua, bringing the number of tanks in the Dragon's Tooth Column to eighteen.

The artillery plant also worked overtime to produce another twenty 88mm anti-aircraft guns, but anti-aircraft machine guns were not produced due to the full production of anti-aircraft guns.

As a result, the number of 88mm anti-aircraft guns in the air defense regiment reached twenty-eight.

The reason why anti-aircraft machine guns are not produced for the time being is because the existing general-purpose machine guns can basically replace its functions, and the 88mm anti-aircraft guns can be competent for real long-distance or high-altitude defense.

Therefore, Qiao Youhua decided to let the artillery factory work hard first and concentrate personnel and materials to produce more powerful anti-aircraft guns.

At a time when Qiao Youhua was very satisfied with the production speed of the arsenal and was ready to encourage the workers to make persistent efforts to strive to replace the weapons and equipment of the air defense regiment, the tank regiment, and even the entire column with a unified caliber as soon as possible.

An astonishing piece of news finally reached the headquarters of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

"Commander, this is an urgent secret message sent by Long Yingwei from Tianjin, in the past few days, a large number of Japanese puppet troops have suddenly entered the customs from outside the Shanhai Pass, in addition, there are more military trains on the South Manchurian Railway than before.

Long Yingwei sent people to risk their lives to investigate and learned that these military trains were transporting a large number of arms and devils! Liu Ruhan, director of the Confidential Division, took the telegram he had just received and found Qiao Youhua, and reported with a dignified face.

Qiao Youhua was taken aback: "Outside the gate? Could it be the Kwantung Army? In a word.

Liu Ruhan handed the telegram to Qiao Youhua, nodded and said: "It should be, the devil military uniforms that came from outside the gate are not the same as those in the gate, and there are also puppet soldiers, and the dress is very different from the two devil troops of the Imperial Association Army in the pass, if Long Yingwei's judgment is correct, they should be the puppet army troops of the puppet Manchukuo!" ”
