At the end of August, the second batch of twenty 150 [-]mm howitzers also rolled off the production line and were delivered to the artillery brigade. Seeing that there were [-] more cannons, the artillery brigade commander Wang Daquan was happy for a while , Everyone who met was smiling, which made the officers and soldiers of the entire artillery brigade baffled. They speculated one after another, what happened to the brigade commander, did he pick up hundreds of oceans on the street.

At this time, the one-month recruit training was over, and the recruits were assigned to various brigades, regiments, and other units. Zhang Yunfei's troops had reached [-].

It's just that recruits account for the vast majority of the army, and only one-tenth of the veterans, and the veterans have also been promoted one after another. The former big soldiers are now squad leaders, and the former squad leaders have been promoted to platoon leaders. [

There are so many recruits in the army, who have not been baptized by war, artillery fire and blood. To be honest, Zhang Yunfei doesn't know much about their combat effectiveness.

Although Zhang Yunfei's army training has a strict and scientific training program, and the soldiers usually train very hard, but one or two months ago, these recruits were still students, workers, hawkers, and even most of them were farmers who had just put down their hoes.

So Zhang Yunfei planned to conduct an actual combat exercise, and the object of the exercise was of course the little devils in Shanxi.

The Japanese army currently stationed in Shanxi is the No.14 regiment, and the 46th division that entered Shanxi from Zhengtai Road at the end of July.The Little Devil's 46th Division is a newly formed division in the first half of this year. It is a Type B division with less than 2 people.

The entire army of the little devils in Shanxi was less than [-]. Since Zhang Yunfei recovered Taiyuan and took control of the northern gate of Shanxi, the troops of the little devils were basically huddled in a few big cities, mainly for defense and mopping up.

Due to the continuous information sent back by the special forces scattered outside, Zhang Yunfei knew exactly the little devil's troop deployment and designation.

This time Zhang Yunfei is going to take the troops south to attack Shuozhou, and find the little devils to train soldiers by the way.

Of the five infantry brigades of the 136th Division, Zhang Yunfei plans to send three infantry brigades to participate in this training. The artillery brigade will also send an artillery regiment, carrying forty newly equipped 150mm howitzers, to the front line to test their power.

Of course, in order to guard against the bombing of the little devil's plane, Zhang Yunfei would also send a battalion of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment to accompany him.At present, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment has developed into five anti-aircraft artillery battalions, each with more than 36 people, equipped with [-] [-]-mm anti-aircraft guns in two units.

Of the five antiaircraft artillery battalions, one is stationed in Huanglongxia Industrial Zone, one is stationed in Xinan County, and the other three are stationed around Datong. The antiaircraft artillery battalion accompanying this time is the fifth battalion, one of the three antiaircraft artillery battalions stationed in Datong.

Since Zhang Yunfei regained Datong, in the past two months, the little devil's air force in Taiyuan has not been idle. He has sent several waves of planes to investigate around Datong, but each time he was not exploited by the soldiers of the antiaircraft artillery battalion. To be shot down by advanced anti-aircraft guns is to be driven away by soldiers with machine guns.

So later, the little devil's plane became more and more lazy to patronize Datong. In the past half a month, he hadn't seen the shadow of the little devil's plane.

In this training, the infantry brigade basically used walking, which could exercise the soldiers' ability to march in the field. For the artillery regiment of the artillery brigade, Zhang Yunfei specially allocated [-] large trucks, [-] of which were used to tow the howitzers on the march, and the other [-] Vehicles can be used to transport shells.

The 36 double-mounted [-]mm anti-aircraft guns in the anti-aircraft artillery battalion mainly use horses to drag them forward. After all, the weight of the two-mounted [-]mm anti-aircraft guns is only a few hundred kilograms, and two horses can easily drag them.

After several days of preparation and troop assembly, at [-] o'clock in the morning on September [-]st, a regiment of the [-]st Infantry Brigade, which was the vanguard, left Datong City first, along the highway, and began to head south.

The follow-up large troops will follow up one after another, and the artillery regiment and anti-aircraft artillery battalion will leave the city as the last troops. This time, Zhang Yunfei personally participated in the actual combat drill of the troops.

Since it was an actual combat exercise of the troops, Zhang Yunfei did not urge the troops to march in a hurry, but adopted a normal speed, and in the evening, they reached Hu County, which is tens of kilometers away from Datong.

Hu County is the southern gate of Datong. Currently, Hu County is Zhang Yunfei's control county, with a regiment of troops stationed there.

During today's march, the overall performance of the soldiers was quite satisfactory, and there were no major problems, but there were still many minor problems.There was a soldier who accidentally fired his rifle during the march. Fortunately, no other comrades were injured. [

After resting in the camp in Hu County for one night, the large troops set off early the next morning, with a regiment of the [-]st Infantry Brigade as the vanguard and set off first.

The next day, Zhang Yunfei ordered the troops to speed up the march.At [-]:[-] p.m., the vanguard reached the outskirts of Shanyang County.

Shanyang County is an enemy-occupied area, and the Xiaogui's Asada United Team is stationed in Shanyang County.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army's southward movement and surprise attack, the little devils built several strongholds in the outskirts of Shanyang County, and each stronghold stationed an infantry squad with sixty to seventy little devils.

Three or four kilometers outside Shanyang County, there is a devil stronghold responsible for vigilance. As usual, the little devils around the stronghold are casually patrolling back and forth.

Since the Eighth Route Army occupied Hu County in the north more than a month ago, the Asada Regiment stationed in Shanyang County was still worried that the Eighth Route Army would take advantage of the victory and go south to attack Shanyang County.

But after a month or so, the Eighth Route Army in the north showed no sign of going southward at all, and the Asada Regiment stationed in Shanyang County gradually believed that the Eighth Route Army would not go southward for the time being.

The little devil who stood guard usually dealt with things, and it was the same today. He stood on guard for almost a day and was safe and sound. The little devil thought, it seems that today is also the same as usual, and it is impossible for Balu to appear.

Suddenly, a little devil looked ahead inadvertently, and suddenly he was stunned, motionless, his mouth was so wide open, the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground, and he didn't respond at all.

The two little devils who stood guard together saw their companion's abnormal reaction, followed their gaze, and saw many figures in gray military uniforms appearing indistinctly far ahead.

One of the little devils who reacted first shouted in his heart, no, it is the Eight Routes, and there are a large number of Eight Routes, it seems that there are at least a few thousand people.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the little devil immediately rang the sentry alarm bell. After a burst of sharp alarm bells, all the little devils reacted. The little devils patrolling outside immediately entered the stronghold, ready to fight, and rang the alarm at the same time. The telephone in the stronghold reported to the headquarters of the Asada Regiment in the city in horror.

The little devil at the top of the stronghold hurriedly set up the machine gun, appearing to be in a hurry.

The Asada Regiment is a field regiment under the 46th Division. Most of the soldiers have never experienced actual combat. Compared with the little devil veterans of the old divisions, their psychological quality and battlefield experience are very different.

Seeing so many Eighth Route Army suddenly appearing, most of the dozens of devils stationed at this stronghold seemed very nervous and flustered.
