Over time.

The North China Front Command began a large-scale increase of troops to Shanxi.

Moreover, the devil has played an old trick again, transferring troops to and fro, and making suspicious military schemes.

However, this trick of the devil is just Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows that the fool knows that the devil wants to attack the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin.

The main force of the five divisions of the Japanese army was stationed on Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road to ensure the smooth flow of transportation.

This time, in order to eliminate the new regiment and Li Yunlong, the Japanese army base camp allocated two battle materials to Okamura Ningji, that is, 20,000 tons of combat materials, of which 4,000 tons were ammunition.

Save a little, enough for the five Japanese divisions and regiments participating in the sweep to fight for a month and a half.

Last time, Yoshio Shinozuka used the strength of 4 divisions to sweep the base area in the southeast of Jin, and the base camp only gave him the materials for 1 division to fight.

The battle points are the basic material support required by the Japanese army for a campaign, including 2-3 months of food, oil, medicine and other daily necessities and weapon parts, as well as 20 ammunition bases.

Before the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army's reserves of munitions and materials were so small that in 37 years it was necessary to transfer ammunition from the Kwantung Army to support the Kannai.

After learning his lesson, before launching the Pacific War, Hideji Tojo reported that the army had more than 50 battle reserves, and he felt that he could do it, and he could punch England and kick the United States.

The devils used the main force of 5 divisions to protect the lines of communication.

Even if the strength of the Eighth Route Army is not what it used to be, there is not much to do with the devils, so they can only watch the devils transport a large number of materials into Shanxi.

However, the head of the headquarters had the foresight to strike first, and after the end of the battle in the northwest of Jin, he organized a major attack on the communication line.

The railway is useless, and the devil's convoy can only be transported along the road.

Moreover, the road has also been damaged a lot, and the devil's sappers spent a lot of time just building bridges and building roads.

The Japanese army was preparing war materials, and the Eighth Route Army was not idle, and the troops of all military regions were actively training and preparing war materials.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Japanese division to protect the line of communication, the engineer company had already dug tunnels near Datong Airport and Wusu Airport.

And by car, manpower, mules and horses to transport mountain artillery and shells to the designated place.

Then leave behind a radio, a high-powered walkie-talkie, enough water, food, and artillery, and close the hole to erase the traces.

The artillerymen needed to stay in the tunnel for nearly a month, and after the devil's sweep of the northwest of Jin Province began, the mountain artillery was pushed out of the hole, and the observer guided the artillery to shell the devil's airfield.

At the same time, the devils frequently sent spies to infiltrate the base areas in the northwest of Shanxi.

The military and civilians in the northwest of Shanxi Province also showed no weakness and launched vigorous counter-espionage activities, and some devil spies were constantly found out.

On this day, there were about 20 days left before the Japanese sweep.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou and others were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

Chen Feng and Yan Shuangying came to Zhaojiayu Village and saw that both the Eighth Route Army and the common people were in a hurry, and there was a tense atmosphere in the air.

Hearing that Chen Feng was coming, even though they were very busy, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hurriedly put down the work at hand to receive them in person.

In the inner room of the regiment headquarters, the three of them sat cross-legged on the kang table.

Zhao Gang smiled bitterly: "Brother Chen, you should have also seen the situation in the base area, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings." ”

This time, the Japanese army used five divisions to sweep the base area of the Eighth Route Army, while the three regiments in the northwest of Shanxi Province were only more than 40,000 people.

The main forces of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment each had only more than 5,000 people, and although they used American-style equipment, their strength was still too small.

In addition, the strength of these two regiments of the militia can reach 10,000 people, although the militia uses captured weapons and equipment and equipment eliminated by the main force, but after all, the training time is too short and the combat effectiveness is limited.

In fact, the main strategic goal of the three regiments in the northwest of Shanxi Province was to protect the common people in the northwest of Shanxi Province.

Okamura Ningji, the old devil's methods, are even more vicious than Tadajun, and he can't wait to turn the base area of the Eighth Route Army into a no-man's land, kill all the rats in the base area, and shake all the eggs in the base area.

Otherwise, Li Yunlong has the blessing of aid channels, and he can change places with one shot.

Slip away before the devil's sweep comes, and then return to the base after the devil leaves.

As long as there is a business of killing devils, the soldiers of the new regiment will not have to worry about running out of food, weapons and ammunition.

And the new second regiment and the independent regiment mixed with the new first regiment, and they could also drink a sip of soup.

Although they are not as rich as the new 1st Regiment, the 2nd New Regiment and the Independent Regiment are richer than the elite divisions of the National Army in the current battle sequence of all China.

After fighting the Northwest Jin Campaign, Ding Wei and Kong Jie exchanged the business of more than 30 machine guns for a small number of bazooka and machine guns, and most of them were replaced with 82-mm mortars.

At present, the scale of the new second regiment and the independent regiment is directly under the jurisdiction of the mountain artillery battalion, machine artillery battalion, and mortar battalion.

Although they are only battalion-level establishments, the equipment and personnel of the three battalions have reached the standard of the regimental level.

It is equivalent to a regimental mountain artillery regiment, a regimental machine artillery regiment, and a regimental mortar regiment.

Listening to Zhao Gang's words, Chen Feng glanced at Li Yunlong, but Grand Master Li's expression was calm, with a little wildness in his confidence.

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng and asked with anticipation in his eyes: "Brother, is your military base safe, this time the Japanese army is menacing, if you don't come and follow the regiment headquarters, I can protect your safety." ”

On the one hand, Li Yunlong really wanted to protect Chen Feng's safety, after all, Chen Feng was the big financier of the new regiment and even the entire Eighth Route Army.

If something happens to Chen Feng, the new mess will not be wasted, but it will not be much worse.

Grand Master Li planned to develop the new regiment to more than 100,000 U.S. weapons troops within a year or two, and without the support of Boss Chen, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang alone would never have been able to do it.

Therefore, Boss Chen's safety is the top priority.

On the other hand, Li Yunlong is also a little selfish, he also knows something about Chen Feng and knows that Boss Chen is a kind-hearted person.

Seeing the sacrificed and wounded soldiers on the battlefield, Boss Chen must have been unbearable.

If Boss Chen can give some airdrop supplies or another chance to air support at that time, it will make a lot of money.

But.

Li Yunlong estimated that Boss Chen would not come to the new regiment to act with the regiment headquarters, because he and Zhao Gang had also invited them before, but they were all politely refused.

However, contrary to Li Yunlong's expectations, this time Chen Feng actually agreed: "Okay, no problem, this time I will act with your regimental headquarters." ”

Although the military base is very safe, and there are bodyguards by your side at all times, the kind of peerless masters.

But this time... Chen Feng wanted to see with his own eyes how strong the combat effectiveness of the new regiment he had supported was and whether it could defeat a division of the Japanese army.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang glanced at each other, and they both saw a touch of joy in each other's eyes.

Haha smiled, Li Yunlong said: "Don't worry, Brother Chen, if anything danger happens, I dare not guarantee anything else, I, Li Yunlong, will definitely die in front of you." ”

"Lao Li, look at what you said." Zhao Gang said, "What can't die?" ”

"Oops." Li Yunlong blamed himself, "Look at my crow's mouth, brother, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, with my brother's words, I'm relieved!"

Chen Feng smiled slightly, and then explained the intention of this time: "Recently, brother, I received a little bit of information about the Japanese army's sweep of the base area in the northwest of Shanxi this time. ”

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's eyes suddenly lit up at the same time, and Zhao Gang hurriedly asked, "Brother, what information?" ”

He knew very well that the information from Boss Chen was definitely worth a thousand dollars, and there had been no mistakes.

Chen Feng said: "I have received information that the troops that the Japanese army swept the base area of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi this time, a total of five divisions and regiments, all of which are not the troops of the First Army. ”

"You said it before, brother." Zhao Gang said, "The Japanese army transferred three divisions from the Kwantung Army, one of which is a type A division, and the other two divisions are?" ”

Li Yunlong, who was beside him, narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Feng.

This is five divisions, one of which is still a division of the first type, and the Japanese army has to transfer 300,000 people to deal with this configuration.

And how many people are there in the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi?

Chen Feng said: "The three divisions of the Kwantung Army are the 10th Division, the 23rd Division, and the 25th Division, and the other two divisions are the 21st Division and the 35th Division. ”

"In addition, there are about 20,000 puppet army troops."

"The specific tactical distribution of the Japanese army is that the 10th Division will attack the position of your new regiment, the 23rd and 25th divisions will attack the independent regiment, and the 21st and 35th divisions will attack the new second regiment."

No matter how specific the information is, Chen Feng can't get it, if Li Yunlong gets all the contents of the battle plan formulated by Okamura Ningji himself, then it will really be a war from the perspective of God.

Contrary to Chen Feng's expectations, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang didn't have much surprise on their faces when they heard this.

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Lao Li, your strategic vision is very good, the commander of this little devil has actually been seen through by you, and it is not bad with your analysis at all." ”

Hehe smiled, Li Yunlong said: "Of course, who is our old Li?" ”

"Say you're a fat kid, and you're still panting?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gang looked at Chen Feng again and asked, "Brother Chen, what is the origin of this 10th Division?" ”

Knowing the number of the Japanese division, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong only needed to send a telegram to the headquarters, and the headquarters must know the origin of the 10th division.

But Boss Chen personally came to the door today, and he must have the intelligence of this 10th Division.

Chen Feng said: "This 10th Division is one of the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese Army, a division of the Japanese Army, and one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese Army before the outbreak of World War II. ”

Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed: "Shinozuka Division? Yoshio Shinozuka, this old devil, was the commander of the 10th Division? ”

"That's right!" Chen Feng said, "The 10th Division is very strong in combat, although it was planted in the Battle of Taierzhuang, but in the Battle of Xuzhou, it played a record of breaking the 40,000 Yunnan Army with a wing, transferred back to Japan in 1939 to recuperate, and was transferred to the Northeast last year to belong to the Kwantung Army, this time the 10th Division attacked your new regiment, and this division will be strengthened during the war, adding 1 artillery wing, 2 machine gun brigades, and 1 tank wing. ”
