I am helping

Over time.

The North China Front Army Command began to increase troops to Shanxi on a large scale.

What's more, the devils played an old trick again, moving troops around and making suspicious tactics.

But this trick of the devil is just Sima Zhaozhi's mind, and everyone knows that the devil is going to attack the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

The main forces of the five divisions of the Japanese army were stationed on Pinghan Road and Zhengtai Road to ensure smooth transportation.

This time, in order to eliminate the new regiment and Li Yunlong, the Japanese base camp allocated two battle supplies to Neiji Okamura, that is, 20000 tons of combat materials, of which 4000 tons were ammunition.

Save some money, enough for the five Japanese army divisions participating in the mopping up to fight for one and a half months.

The last time Yoshio Shinozuka used 4 divisions to sweep the base area in southeast Shanxi, the base camp only gave him supplies for 1 division battle.

The battle points are the basic material support required by the Japanese army for a battle, 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 munitions and materials stored by the Japanese army were so pitiful that in 37, it was necessary to transfer ammunition from the Kwantung Army to support Guannei.

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

The devils used five divisions as the main force 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. They can only watch the devils transport a large amount of supplies into Shanxi.

However, the head of the headquarters had the foresight to strike first. After the Northwest Shanxi Campaign ended, he organized a major attack on the communication line.

The railway is no longer available, and the devil's transport team can only transport along the road.

Moreover, the road was also damaged a lot, and the devil's engineers spent a lot of time building bridges and roads.

The Japanese army is preparing combat materials, and the Eighth Route Army is not idle. The troops of all military regions are actively training and preparing combat materials.

Taking advantage of the main force of the Japanese army's divisions to protect the line of communication, the engineering company has already dug tunnels near Datong Airport and Wusu Airport.

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

Leave the radio station, high-power walkie-talkie, enough water, food and artillery, and close the hole to erase the traces.

The artillerymen had to stay in the tunnel for nearly a month. After the devils began to sweep Northwest Shanxi, they pushed the mountain cannons out of the cave, and the observers guided the artillerymen to shell the devils' airport.

At the same time, the devil frequently sent spies to sneak into the base area in Northwest Shanxi.

The soldiers and civilians in Northwest Shanxi did not show any weakness, and launched vigorous anti-espionage activities, and devils and spies were constantly caught.

On this day, there are still about 20 days before the Japanese raid.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou and others were too busy to touch the ground.

When Chen Feng and Yan Shuangying came to Zhaojiayu Village, they 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 quickly put down their work to receive him in person.

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

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

This time the Japanese army mobilized 5 divisions to mop up the Eighth Route Army's base areas, while the three regiments in northwestern Shanxi only had more than 4 people.

The main forces of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment each have only more than 5000 people. Although American equipment is used, the strength is still too small.

In addition, the strength of the two regiments of the militia can reach 10000 people. Although the militia uses captured weapons and equipment and equipment eliminated by the main force, 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 Northwest Shanxi is to protect the common people in Northwest Shanxi.

Okamura Ningji's methods are more vicious than Tada Hayao's. He wished to turn the base areas of the Eighth Route Army into no-man's land, kill all the mice in the base areas, and shake all the eggs in the base areas.

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

Slip away before the devil's mopping up, and return to the base after the devil leaves.

As long as there is a business of killing devils, the soldiers of the Xinyi Regiment will not worry about having no food, no weapons and ammunition.

And the new second group and the independent group can also have a sip of soup when they hang out with the new group.

Although it is not as rich as the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment are now richer than the elite divisions of the national army in the current battle order across China.

After fighting the Battle of Northwest Shanxi, Ding Wei and Kong Jie replaced a small number of bazookas and machine guns with the business of earning more than 30 machine guns, most of which were replaced with 82mm mortars.

Now the scale of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment has the Shanpao Battalion, Machine Pao Battalion, and Mortar Battalion directly under its jurisdiction.

Although it is only a battalion-level organization, the equipment and personnel of the three battalions have reached the regiment-level standards.

It is equivalent to the regiment belonging to the mountain artillery regiment, the regiment belonging to the machine gun regiment, and the regiment belonging to the mortar regiment.

Listening to Zhao Gang's words, Chen Feng glanced at Li Yunlong, but Li Datuan's expression was calm, with a bit of 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 coming in menacingly. If you don't come here and act with 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 sponsor of the Xinyi Regiment and even the entire Eighth Route Army.

If something happened to Chen Feng, the Xinyituan wouldn't be abolished, but it wouldn't be much worse.

Leader Li Datuan planned to develop the new regiment into a US military force of more than 10 within a year or two. Without the support of Boss Chen, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang alone would absolutely not be able to do it.

So Boss Chen's safety is the top priority.

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

Seeing sacrificed and wounded soldiers on the battlefield, Boss Chen would definitely not be able to bear it.

If Boss Chen can give some airdrops of supplies, or give him another chance to provide air support, then he will make a lot of money.

but.

Li Yunlong estimated that Boss Chen would not come to Xinyi Regiment to act with the regiment headquarters, because he and Zhao Gang had also been invited before, but they were both declined.

However, contrary to Li Yunlong's expectations, Chen Feng actually agreed this time: "It's okay, no problem, this time I will act together with your regiment headquarters."

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

But this time...Chen Feng wanted to see with his own eyes how strong the new regiment he raised up was, and whether it could defeat a Type-A division of the Japanese army.

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

With a laugh, Li Yunlong said: "Don't worry, brother Chen, if there is any danger, I can't guarantee anything else. I, Li Yunlong, will definitely die before you."

"Old Li, let's see what you said." Zhao Gang said, "What's dead or not?"

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

"It's okay, with my brother's words, I can rest assured!"

Chen Feng smiled slightly, and then explained the reason for his visit: "Recently, brother, I have received some information about the Japanese army's raid on the Northwest Shanxi base."

"Oh?"

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

Both of them knew very well that the information from Boss Chen was absolutely worth a thousand dollars, and there had been no mistakes.

Chen Feng said casually: "I received information that the Japanese army raided the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi this time. There are a total of five divisions, and none of them are troops of the First Army."

"Brother, you said it before." 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?"

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

These are five divisions, and one of them is a Type A division. The Japanese army has to deploy 30 people to cope with this configuration.

And how many people are there in the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi?
Chen Feng said: "The three divisions of the Kwantung Army are the 10th Division, the 23rd Division, and the 25th Division. The other two divisions are the 21st Division and the 35th Division. These two divisions are The North China Front Army is directly under the division and participated in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain."

"In addition, there are about 2 puppet troops."

"The specific tactical assignment of the Japanese army is that the 10th Division will attack your New First Regiment's position, 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 was, Chen Feng couldn't get it. If Li Yunlong got the whole content of the battle plan formulated by Neiji Okamura himself, it would really be fighting from the perspective of God.

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

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Old Li, your strategic vision is very good. You have actually seen through the commander of this little devil, and your analysis is exactly the same as yours."

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

"You say you're fat, but 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 Army Division, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong only need to send a telegram to the headquarters, and the headquarters must know the origin of the 10th Division.

But Boss Chen came to the door in person today, so he must have information about the 10th Division.

Chen Feng said: "This 10th division is one of the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army. Known as the Isotani Division and the Shinozuka Division, the division often used poison gas warfare in violation of the international laws of war in combat."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes: "Xiaozuka Division? Shinozuka Yoshio, this old devil, was the division head of the 10th Division?"

"That's right!" Chen Feng said, "The 10th Division is very powerful. Although it stumbled in the Battle of Taierzhuang, in the Battle of Xuzhou, it had a record of defeating 4 Yunnan troops with one regiment. It was transferred back in 1939. Japan rested and was transferred to the Northeast to belong to the Kwantung Army last year. This time, the 10th Division will attack your new regiment. This division will be strengthened during the war, adding 1 artillery regiment, 2 machine gun regiments, and 1 tank regiment.”
