A month later, a division of the US military designated for aid to the 10th Theater of Operations was transported to Taiyuan, but it was seriously reduced.

A standard US infantry division is equipped with 70 howitzers, 145 mortars of various types, 93 anti-tank guns, 663 rocket launchers, 950 machine guns, 76 tanks, 49 armored vehicles, and 1,560 vehicles of various types.

Xie Tian received only 70 60mm mortars, 3 anti-tank guns, 200 machine guns, 4,500 Garand M1 semi-automatic rifles, as for those howitzers, rocket launchers, tanks, armored vehicles and other vehicles, there was not a single one, but it was equipped with a large number of steel helmets, field uniforms, field boots, ammunition belts, backpacks, water bottles, and even cutlery bags and cutlery, and even knives, forks and spoons.

These individual equipment were all eliminated by the U.S. military with M43 type, and the number is huge, and now the aid to the Chinese army is also killing two birds with one stone.

It's all white things, so don't be so demanding.

With a stroke of the pen, all the equipment of this division was distributed to the 301st Division of the 51st Army, for the simple reason that instead of dispersing these equipment to various units, it was better to concentrate on arming an elite division.

In addition, the two regiments of American equipment provided by the Nationalist Government to the 10th Theater in the early stage have not been distributed to the 302nd and 303rd Divisions, and everyone can be regarded as having equal interests.

Thank God for this arrangement, everyone has nothing to say, the 49th Army and the 50th Army are not short of equipment, and these American weapons and equipment for assistance are dispensable.

But the 51st Army is different, with this batch of American weapons and equipment, the hard days are finally over.

Li Yunlong, who was reinstated from his official post, was hit on the head by this big pie that fell from the sky, and he almost grinned at the back of his head with a big smile, but Xu Shiyou's eyes widened: "You only have a total of about 7,000 fucking people, and you need so much equipment to have a fart." ”

After some street hawker-style bargaining, Xu Shiyou still seized 40 60-mm mortars and 100 machine guns, and used these equipment to form an artillery battalion and a machine gun battalion directly under the military headquarters.

Even so, Li Yunlongmei's nose bubbled up, and the whole division took off his old military uniform and changed into an American-style military uniform, one person wore an American soldier's steel helmet, and the individual soldiers' equipment was put on with joy and joy as for the New Year.

Even Li Yunlong himself changed his shotgun and put on an American-style military uniform, and he also learned from Chu Yunfei's previous appearance and found a pair of white gloves to put on, but after wearing it for less than half a day, he tore it off and lost it, he was used to it with his bare hands, it was uncomfortable to wear gloves, and he couldn't find the feel when he pulled the trigger.

As the troops were assembled, the order from the Theater General Headquarters also came down.

Order: The 51st Army shall draw up a combat plan for attacking Jingcheng on its own and start combat operations within 10 days.

Order: The 49th Army moved to the area of Panlong Lake in Wuji Mountain, and responded to the 51st Army's operational mission of attacking Jingcheng and pinning down the Japanese army in the direction of Shijiazhuang.

Order: The tank division and artillery regiment of the 41st Group Army fought in coordination with the 51st Army, under the unified command of Xu Shiyou, deputy commander-in-chief of the group army.

As a matter of fact, the theater command had already drawn up a major operational plan, and Xu Shiyou and other group army leaders had also participated in formulating it.

Unsurprisingly, Li Yunlong grabbed the main attack task of this operation again, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie were too lazy to compete with Li Yunlong.

You fucking have all the American weapons and equipment of the whole division, and even the forks and spoons are all equipped for you, who will play the main attack if you don't hit the main attack?

At the same time, Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Seventh Group Army of the Second Theater, also received an operational order directly issued by the Jin-Ji Xingying, ordering the Seventh Army to attack Datong, take the opportunity to annihilate the Hashimoto Brigade stationed in Datong, and destroy the railway and highway communication line from Datong to North China.

Not only did Fu Zuoyi of the Seventh Group Army receive the combat order issued by the Jin-Ji Xingying, but Yang Aiyuan of the Sixth Group Army also received an order issued by the Jin-Ji Xingying, ordering Yang Aiyuan's troops to launch an attack on the Japanese defenders in Zhangjiakou.

The Nationalist Government's readjusted battle sequence is a seven-level structure of the Central Military Commission, the battalion, the theater, the group army, the army, the division, and the regiment, and the battalion has the right to directly issue operational orders to the subordinate theaters and group armies.

After receiving the operational order issued by the Jinji camp, Yang Aiyuan of the Sixth Group Army did not hesitate to send a telegram to Yan Xishan in the Second War Zone asking for instructions on how to deal with it.

Yan Xishan received Yang Aiyuan's telegram and directly lifted the table, stood in the cave and scolded, scolding Pang Yuan, Xie Tian, and Chongqing.

It's such a fucking bully, Pang Yuan actually skipped my second war zone and directly gave Yang Aiyuan a combat order, what did you do with me Yan Xishan? Well?

Chief of Staff Guo Zongfen waited for Yan Xishan to finish losing his temper before cautiously asking, "Commander-in-Chief, how should we reply to Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang?" ”

Yang Aiyuan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Group Army, is also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Theater, and when he addresses his official position, he naturally has to address the one with the largest official position, but it is easy for people who do not know the inside information of the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief to confuse it.

China's official titles have always been like this, the director of the grain station is also the director, and Pang Yuan, the director of the Jinji camp, is also the director, the difference between the two is the difference between heaven and earth, one is a first-class minister, and the other is not even a ninety-nine-grade sesame official.

Yan Xishan paced around the cave anxiously, and it took him a long time to make up his mind, and he instructed Guo Zongfen: "Don't call Yang Aiyuan back, let him do it himself." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Guo Zongfen's mouth, and he nodded in response: "Yes." ”

If you don't call back, you have already shown your attitude, and Yang Aiyuan will definitely understand what Yan Xishan means.

When Yan Xishan saw that Guo Zongfen had already walked to the door of the cave, he suddenly shouted to stop Guo Zongfen and asked, "Is Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang the only one who has received the battle order from the Jinji camp?" ”

Guo Zongfen stood still and looked at Yan Xishan and smiled bitterly: "Only Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang sent a telegram to ask, as for whether the others received the battle order from the Jinji camp, it is still unknown, do you want to send them a telegram to ask?" ”

The Second Theater has recently undergone adjustments, and the Chongqing Government seems to have made some compensation to Yan Xishan in order to appease him, and now the Second Theater has six group armies, namely Sun Weiru of the Fourth Group Army, Zeng Wanzhong of the Fifth Group Army, Yang Aiyuan of the Sixth Group Army, Fu Zuoyi of the Seventh Group Army, Wei Lihuang of the Fourteenth Group Army, and Zhu De of the Eighteenth Group Army.

Yan Xishan frowned and pondered for a while and waved his hand: "No need, you can go." ”

Guo Zongfen took the door and went out, Yan Xishan frowned and walked to the sand table, staring at the mountains and rivers on the sand table, and slowly circled around the sand table.

Xie Baoqing: What does he want to do?

Yan Xishan knew that the order issued by the Jin Ji Xingying to Yang Aiyuan must have come from Xie Baoqing's handwriting.
