Northwest of Shanxi.

Big Lonely Town.

The expansion plan and the factory construction plan of the new regiment are in full swing and in an orderly manner.

After winter, the weather in the northwest of Shanxi is very cold, and the sky is covered with light snow.

The new regimental headquarters.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou sat on the kang table, eating peanuts.

The autumn grain of the common people in the defense area of the new regiment was not brought disaster by the devils.

In addition, the new regiment has sufficient grain, so the people in the new regiment defense area do not need to pay taxes at all, and the grain produced by the people is completely enough to eat.

Zhao Gang picked up a stack of intelligence materials on the table and took the lead in saying: "According to the information given by Boss Chen, the first division of the Japanese Kwantung Army is about to be transferred from outside the border to the northwest of Shanxi to deal with our new regiment. ”

"Just in time." Li Yunlong said, "Lao Tzu is worried that there is no opponent to train recruits, and I hope that the combat effectiveness of this first division will not disappoint Lao Tzu." ”

At present, the first stage of recruitment of the new regiment has been completed.

A total of more than 8,000 recruits were recruited, most of these recruits were militiamen, and in addition to the militia, there were a small number of young people with good foundations who could shoot guns.

Although he is a militia and has some shooting experience, he has not participated in any decent battles.

Therefore, these militias are currently trained by the training battalion, and after a total of three months of intensive training of recruits, the recruits will be transferred to the newly formed infantry battalion.

At present, the framework for the formation of new infantry battalions and artillery battalions has been completed.

After all, a recruit is a recruit, even after three months of training, he is still a recruit.

In order to form combat effectiveness, in addition to training, the new battalion must also strengthen ideological building and actual combat experience.

Actual combat is the key to enhancing combat effectiveness.

At the beginning, when the new regiment first arrived in the northwest of Shanxi, it was also the new regiment that expanded to tens of thousands of people.

Immediately afterwards, the new commander of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio, sent the 36th Division led by Jing Seki to the northwest of Shanxi in an attempt to curb the development of the new regiment.

As soon as they arrived in the northwest of Shanxi, the 36th Division was hit on the head and suffered a loss in Dagu Town.

After that, Iwamatsu Yoshio ordered the 36th Division to build a large number of thickened steel bunkers and artillery towers, which just gave the new regiment the opportunity to train new soldiers.

The reason why the new regiment was able to almost eat the 36th Division and defeat the 10th Division was because the recruits had accumulated actual combat experience in the battle of attacking thickened pillboxes and turrets.

And every warrior stabbed the corpse of the devil with a bayonet, overcoming the fear of death in his heart.

After all.

Recruits who have not been on the battlefield, even if they have the courage to do so in peacetime and no matter how good their training performance is, they are likely to be scared to pee their pants on the battlefield.

Only by truly crossing the hurdle of killing people will the transformation from a recruit to a veteran be completed.

"This 1st Division is not good, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the 10th Division."

Xing Zhiguo's eyes narrowed, and he said with a page of information.

This intelligence information is as detailed as ever, except that there is no specific time and whereabouts of the 1st Division entering the pass, including the strength of the 1st Division and the officers above the rank of wing commander are all detailed.

Li Yunlong took the information from Xing Zhiguo's hand and looked at it, and said with a narrowed eye:

"The 1st Division has a heavy artillery brigade, 2 infantry brigades, 4 infantry wings, the 1st Field Artillery Wing, and 1 cavalry, engineer, and transport wings."

"The total strength is more than 30,000 people."

Subsequently, Li Yunlong handed the information in his hand to Zhao Gang.

Looking at the information, Zhao Gang said: "At the beginning, the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing of the First Division were completely annihilated by us in the battle of Miaoergou, but I didn't expect the devil to replenish the First Division so quickly. ”

"After all, the 1st Division is the face of the Japanese Army." Wang Dehou smiled slightly and said, "The name of this first division alone is quite bluffing, but I don't know how the combat effectiveness is?" ”

"Judging from this information, it is stronger than the 10th Division."

"After all, the 1st Division has an entire 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade compared to the 10th Division."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly became a little hot.

The business given by Boss Chen is to kill the devil with a 240mm heavy cannon, and there is a 203mm heavy howitzer.

And taking out a 150mm cannon also gives you a 150mm howitzer.

In other words, if you kill a heavy artillery brigade of the devil, then the Eighth Route Army will be able to expand a heavy artillery brigade.

Although the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 3rd Infantry Wing were completely annihilated, the Japanese base camp was quickly replenished by the 1st Division.

A heavy artillery brigade of more than 50 cannons of more than 150 mm, plus a field artillery wing of the 1st Division, the artillery fire was several streets away from the 10th Division.

Zhao Gang said: "The intelligence also said that the North China Front Command may also transfer an artillery wing to the First Division to enhance the strength of the First Division. ”

"That's it." Wang Dehou pondered, "This first division is equipped with two heavy artillery wings and two artillery wings?" ”

Xing Zhi said solemnly in Chinese: "This artillery firepower is a bit strong, and it is about to catch up with our artillery firepower." ”

At present, the new regiment has a heavy howitzer battalion, armed with 24 B4 heavy howitzers; a heavy artillery battalion armed with 30 150-mm howitzers; Two artillery battalions, armed with more than 80 105mm and 75mm howitzers.

If the 1st Division had been reinforced in wartime, the two sides would have been less equal in the number of artillery pieces above 75 mm.

The next thing to do is to see the level of combat of the artillery of both sides.

But.

In terms of artillery fire support and individual firepower of the infantry, the new regiment still has an advantage, even if the first division is equipped with some 100-type submachine guns.

Because the infantry battalions of the new regiment were armed with a large number of 60-mm and 82-mm mortars, as well as 20-mm machine guns.

Originally, the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army was directly under the Kwantung Army.

However, due to the special performance of the Kwantung Army, the Kwantung Army was preparing to attack the Soviet Union, so the Kwantung Army transferred the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade to the 1st Division, hoping to let the Soviet Army taste the power of the Japanese locust army's artillery fire.

In the end, the Japanese base camp gave up attacking the Soviet Union and attacked Southeast Asia instead.

Because Siberia has nothing but potatoes, while Southeast Asia has a lot of strategic resources such as war materials and oil.

As the Eighth Route Army grew stronger and stronger in North China, the threat to the North China Front became more and more great, and the Japanese base camp also wanted to destroy the Eighth Route Army.

However, now the base camp does not have extra troops and combat materials, and can only mobilize the first division to deal with the Eighth Route Army.

As for the combat materials of the First Division, they were still the combat materials left in Taiyuan after the five divisions of the Japanese army attacked the northwest of Shanxi Province before.

"Damn it......" Li Yunlong's eyes were fierce: "According to this, this first division really has some strength, but since this first division dares to come to touch our new regiment, then let's teach the devils of the first division how to fight." ”

Zhao Gang said with anticipation in his tone: "Moreover, if we can defeat or severely damage the first division, then we will definitely be able to make a lot of money......

In another time and space, the 1st Division did not achieve any dazzling results.

Mainly because after the Guan special exercise, Japan and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact, and the Japanese army's strategy began to shift to the south, and the first division was ordered to be transferred back to the mainland.

In 1944, part of the 1st Division was transferred to the Philippines to participate in the campaign, and this part of the troops had bad luck and were cut off by the US army as soon as they entered the battlefield.

But even if there was no supply, the devils of this part of the first division were still self-sufficient, and they fought until there were only more than 800 people left.

The 201st Division, which was organized as the local decisive battle mobilization force, is the one that truly inherits the mantle of the 1st Division and is the real elite force.

At present, the 1st Division in the northwest of Shanxi Province is at the real peak combat effectiveness of the 1st Division.

……

Shanxi.

Taiyuan.

Somewhere outside the city.

Inside the enclosed camp of Yamamoto's secret service.

There was light snow in the sky, but the camp was in full swing.

The Devil Operatives are training soldiers selected from various divisions.

The soldiers, dressed in uniform for the Eighth Route Army, were training in assassination, shooting, and hand-to-hand combat, numbering about 300.

This is not the first time that Kazuki Yamamoto has made a marching team.

After the collapse of the original Mashiko Advance Team and the Okawa Advance Team, Yamamoto Kazuki still did not give up and took this opportunity to reorganize the advance team.

However, sending special agents to assassinate the soldiers and civilians of the Eighth Route Army made Yamamoto feel that it was not cost-effective to use cannons to fight mosquitoes.

The members of the special forces were to assassinate the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and assassinate Li Yunlong.

These close team members are all carefully selected from the 33rd Division, the 37th Division and the 41st Division.

Compared with the advance team members, it is naturally the special agent team members who are more expensive.

A total of 500 people participated in the training camp, and only 300 people remained after a month.

In the end, only 200 people were left, that is, two advance teams.

The training of the advance team is extremely arduous, and the amount of training is completely carried out according to the special forces, and 200 people have been eliminated so far.

At this time, Yamamoto Kazuki walked over with a commanding saber on his shoulder, and his sharp eyes pierced through all the devil advance team members at a glance.

He knew very well that a considerable number of the advance team members had the idea of giving up.

Isn't it good to stay in the army, why come here to suffer this sin?

"Assemble!"

Seeing Kazuki Yamamoto coming over, the leader of the first combat team of the special forces shouted loudly.

Under the orders of the instructors, more than 300 members of the advance team hurriedly ran over to gather, and some of the team members were already physically exhausted, and they had to be supported by the devils next to them to stand firmly.

Kazuki Yamamoto held the major general's sword in his hand and wore a major general's uniform, and Yamamoto's tone was fanatical:

"You are the most loyal warriors of the Empire and the Locust!"

"You are also the most elite samurai of the First Army!"

"You are soldiers of the Great Japanese Locust Army, and this war requires you to stand up!"

"You are members of the Yamamoto Advance Force!"

"The history of our First Army will be rewritten by you!"

“……”

As Yamamoto's tone and eyes became more and more inflammatory, the faces of the advancing players in front of him gradually became crazy and hideous.

Finally, Yamamoto raised the major general's sword in his hand and chanted the slogan:

"Long live the locusts, long live the Great Japanese Empire!"

"Long live the locusts!"

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"

The No. 300 advance team members also raised their hands and shouted fanatical slogans with Yamamoto Kazuki, and their eyes and expressions were also extremely excited and fanatical.

Even the devil who was exhausted just now stood up straight at this time, his hands raised high, and his mouth shouted loudly.

These soldiers who were originally the elite of each division and regiment, with strong individual combat effectiveness, and who had been trained and brainwashed for a long time, were wholeheartedly loyal to the locust.

Under Yamamoto's fanatical slogans, the state of the devils has become even more crazy.

Kazuki Yamamoto has the rank of major general, and he is good at demagoguery, and some old fritter devils can't help but chant loudly with Yamamoto.

This month, these soldiers are here for high-intensity training, and dead people are a common thing.

If it weren't for Yamamoto Kazuki asking the instructor to lead these soldiers to comprehend the spirit of bushido, it is estimated that many devils would have given up.

Because Kazuki Yamamoto adopts the principle of voluntariness, anyone who can't resist can give up at any time.

Those who can pass the training are elite people, although they are not as good as the special agents, but they are not much worse.

"Keep training!"

After taking the lead in shouting the slogan, Yamamoto Kazuki said in a deep voice.

"Hey!"

The members of the advancing team bowed their heads suddenly, and the roar shook the sky, and then they began to train under the orders of the instructors.

It's just that at this time, the devils advanced into the team members, and their enthusiasm for training was extremely high.

The advance team members are trained by a set of methods invented by Kazuki Yamamoto himself.

This old devil has never given up on promoting special operations.

……

Northwest of Shanxi.

Independent regimental department entrance.

Ding Wei handed the reins to the guards, and he himself walked in quickly, shouting as he walked: "Lao Kong, Lao Kong!" ”

Since the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment had not yet been opened to traffic, Ding Wei came on horseback.

"Hahaha, Lao Ding!"

Kong Jie greeted each other from the inner room of the regiment headquarters with a smile on his face, and the two brothers first saluted each other, and then hugged each other warmly.

"Lao Ding, please!"

Then, Kong Jie made a gesture of please.

The two brothers walked into the headquarters of the independent regiment together.

Since cooperating with the new group to do a business, Ding Wei and Kong Jie have both made a small fortune.

Four 150-mm howitzers and four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as hundreds of submachine guns, and thousands of tons of grain were in hand, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie's lives were very comfortable.

The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, like the New First Regiment, have been frantically expanding recently after the weapons and ammunition for reimbursement and business have been received.

This time, Ding Wei and Kong Jie received a telegram from Li Yunlong at the same time, a business that the devil took the initiative to send to the door.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie quickly communicated a telegram, so Kong Jie invited Ding Wei to the independent regiment to discuss countermeasures, and there was the scene just now.

"Lao Ding ......"

"I heard that Li Yunlong's kid has made a fortune again?"

As soon as the two sat down, Kong Jie couldn't wait to ask.

The telegrams sent by Li Yunlong were also received by the telegraph machines of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, so they knew that Li Yunlong had killed another devil observation group, including a devil lieutenant general and two major generals.

But I don't know how much I've earned.

"That's right!" Ding Wei learned more about the inside story and said, "I heard that this time Li Yunlong's kid earned 32 B4 heavy howitzers. ”

"What do you say? 32 heavy howitzers? Uncle Kong suddenly gasped when he heard this, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs were about to fall.
