A call of "bangs" woke bangs from their sleep, and bangs subconsciously reached out to take a gun from under the pillow. "Don't move! It's me! Du Yuming's voice came. Captain, you are... Bangs were a little surprised. Go wake up the brethren, we're leaving! Du Yuming said. Where are you going? Bangs asked in surprise. Don't talk and come out and listen to orders! Du Yuming explained and turned around and went out. It took two seconds for Liu Hai to come to his senses, put on his clothes and run out, and went to the barracks to wake up a large group of people from the artillery battalion, and then told them not to speak, and finally the whole group of people came out to stand on the school ground. "Get in the car!" Du Yuming gave an order, and all the people silently got on the prepared trucks, each truck was dragging a cannon behind it, and the manger was loaded with shells. Bangs, who was originally going to go to the manger, was called into the cab by Du Yuming, and Du Yuming drove it himself.

"Where are we going?" Bangs couldn't help but ask. "Let's go to the train station and go south to Xiangtan!" Du Yuming said. "Why are you leaving at this time?" Liu Hai asked with some confusion, "Confidentiality?" "That's right, it's secrecy, the Japanese have already targeted us, this is also a matter of no way, speaking of which, your classmate really has two hits, arrested two batches of Japanese spies, dug out four internal ghosts, and thwarted six attacks on us, after consideration, we need to secretly go south to Xiangtan, where we will expand and train!" Du Yuming said. "That kid has always had a lot of ideas, and when the Japanese meet him, they are considered unlucky!" Liu Hai said with a smile: "When he was in Germany, he turned the German teacher around, speaking of which, he went to the Central Union, which is really better than being an artilleryman!" ”

After arriving at the train station, all the people still got on the train silently, all the equipment was loaded on the flatbed, no one spoke during the whole process, it was quiet like a group of mutes, all the guards were gendarmerie, as long as someone moved their mouths, they went up and greeted with *, so they were busy all night, and there was no one to speak! After getting on the train, Liu Hai still stayed with Du Yuming, and when the train left Nanjing Station, Du Yuming let out a long breath. "Is there a ready-made base in Xiangtan?" Bangs asked. "Yes, it used to be a military base over there, which was prepared for the suppression of the Communist Party, and now it is just right for us to come in handy! I'm thinking about what kind of expression will little Japan have when he knows we're gone tomorrow? Du Yuming was a little proud: "This idea came up with me!" "Du Yuming is right, this time the secret of the Jibu Regiment went south, and it was hidden from everyone, and the Japanese Special High School found out that the Jibu Regiment was no longer in Nanjing after they were transferred to Liu Hai for a week!

"Our base has arrived!" After taking the train for a day and a night, the special train of the Jibu Regiment had safely arrived in Xiangtan, and after several hours of car marching, Liu Hai and they finally arrived at their base in Xiangtan! "This is it, all the cannons are returned to the warehouse, and after everyone has placed their weapons, they will gather at the school yard!" After Du Yuming finished shouting, the soldiers began to unload the artillery, carry the shells, etc., more than two hours later, the troops gathered in the school field, Du Yuming stood on the platform and began to speak: "Brothers, this will be our base in the future, this base is specially established for our troops to be able to better train and form combat effectiveness faster, here we can train and live with peace of mind, as the saying goes, more training in peacetime, no bloodshed in wartime, our army is for the future to fight small Japan, so we must redouble our efforts, In the near future, we will fight to the death with Little Japan, so I hope that everyone can make new breakthroughs in the new environment. Okay, let's line up to get the tea and mattress set, and start training tomorrow! ”

"Battalion Commander Liu, another purpose of our coming here is to expand, our Jibu Regiment will have a drill in a few days, after the people of the Ministry of Military Affairs have seen the exercise, they will determine whether to adapt it according to our combat effectiveness, if the people of the Ministry of Military Affairs think that we can't do it, then the adaptation is not easy to say, so I want to ask you to make a drill plan, exciting, intense, let those old men see!" "Okay! There is no problem with this, to put it bluntly, it is a fire display, simple! Bangs said. If after the reorganization, you will be reinstated, the commander of the artillery regiment, I will be the first division commander, understand? Du Yuming said. Got it! Bangs immediately agreed. As for the fools of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Liu Hai knew from the time he received the rotten guns of the Soviet Union that they did not understand mechanization and modern artillery at all, and the exercises they wanted were to see the firepower, as long as the scene was grand and the artillery fire was fierce, it would definitely surprise those people! After Liu Hai made up his mind, he began to make a plan for the exercise overnight!

The next day, Liu Hai took his own soldiers for transfer training, the gunners started from the cannon being fired, and used the shortest time to transfer the artillery position, this training was added by Liu Hai himself, because in this Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Liu Hai understood the time when the opponent's plane came to support, and once we started the shelling, how long can we get the fire support of the naval artillery, with this time, you can train to transfer and shoot again during this time, this kind of consciousness Liu still has, but many people do not, This training is aimed at giving the troops the ability to fight and withdraw quickly! Liu Hai looked at the school field, the artillerymen began to train their new tactical abilities, Liu Hai was still pointing at the side, it seems that under the guidance of the Soviet instructors, the speed of these artillerymen has indeed improved a lot!

"Battalion Commander Liu!" Du Yuming took a stack of orders and said, "Next Monday, we will conduct an exercise, and it will be the 65th Regiment of the Central Army that will cooperate with our exercise, and you will beat these fools for me when the time comes!" "Understood! Plan I can do it tonight! Bangs said. Yes! I believe that your bangs will definitely be able to build our regiment into a mechanized division! After Du Yuming finished happily, he returned to his office! One more thing! Du Yuming turned his head and said, "Our tank has arrived, and we originally planned to receive it in Nanjing, but there are many eyes and ears over there, so we will receive it here, what I want to say is can you organize a tripartite coordinated military exercise of infantry and artillery?" "Rest assured, sir, I've got it!" Bangs said. The next day, the first batch of twenty Soviet-made T26 tanks was transported to the base of the Xiangtan Jibu Regiment. Looking at this group of steel beasts, Du Yuming was very excited, and led people to start building a new shooting range and garage overnight, and after some efforts, finally on the third day, the artillerymen of Liu Hai began to train in coordination with the tank crew!

The first day's training was very unsuccessful, the tank impact speed was faster than the reaction speed of the artillery, and many artillery guns could not keep up with the speed of the tank, and even once smashed the artillery fire on the tank's head, fortunately it was a training shell, if it was a real shell, I am afraid that the few tanks rushing in front would be reimbursed! Looking at the bad training, Liu Hai is very anxious, and Du Yuming is also very anxious, if he follows such a training speed, I am afraid that his words will be a joke in a few days! After careful study, Liu Hai came up with a way, according to the advancing speed of the tank, roughly marked a shooting table, the speed and range of the tank's impact support were specifically quantified, after the test, the training effect was very good, although it was still a little rusty, but at least it would not be injured by mistake! After the infantry training has an eyebrow, the collaborative training of the infantry cannon immediately begins! The coordinated operation of infantry artillery is still based on tanks as the vanguard, infantry as cover, and artillery fire as support, which is easy to say, but it is not easy to actually operate!

Liu Hai looked at the first collaborative training, not only did Liu Hai have a headache, but the company commander of the tank company and the battalion commander of the infantry battalion had a headache, either the artillery fire smashed the infantry, or the tank threw off the infantry, or the infantry was disjointed, although Liu Hai also received some training in artillery and tan coordination, but he was not good at it, not to mention that the current machine infantry regiment was a just erected shelf, and the tacit understanding was not enough, and it was not as familiar as the upper and lower levels in the old army. Since there are no tricks and shortcuts to take, you can only make up for it with diligence. Liu Hai took his artillery and tank soldiers to train day and night, actively find out the cause, and continue to make progress, as the so-called emperor lives up to his wishes, after more than a week of intense training, Liu Hai They finally found a way, after solving the key problem of infantry and artillery coordination, cooperative operations have become decent! Liu Hai's exercise plan was also prepared, according to the planned exercise subjects, from artillery fire, to covering shooting, and the roundabout encirclement of tanks, the assault of mechanized troops, and so on, in the final confrontation with the 65th Regiment, under the command of Du Yuming, Liu Hai's artillery, as well as the assault of the tank and infantry battalions, although the 65th Regiment, which was also a reinforced regiment of the Central Army, tried its best, but to no avail, the headquarters was completely wiped out in less than four hours!

The performance in the exercise was very useful to the military and political officers who came to observe, especially the artillery firepower coverage, which made the soldiers of the 65th Regiment forget that this was an exercise, scurried around in the artillery fire, and finally were surrounded and eliminated by tanks. After some operation, the Nationalist Government decided to increase the allocation of artillery and tanks, as well as appropriate infantry, from the basis of the mechanized infantry regiment, to expand into a mechanized division, in strict accordance with international standards, with a ratio of infantry to one to one, the expanded mechanized infantry regiment is called the 200th Division! The only mechanized division in the National Revolutionary Army!
