Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

Recruitment.

Training.

In the next ten days.

More than a thousand people came to join the army from all over the country, and all of them entered the training center.

All soldiers who could join the Tiger Guards would naturally pass the scan of Lu Zhixian's "Eye of Loyalty", and would eventually be handed over to Lei Zhan for various degrees of concentrated training.

At the same time.

With the various infantry and cavalry regiments stationed in the surrounding counties, the interconnection between them naturally needed to be put on the agenda, such as nearby fortifications, corresponding road widening, and telephone lines between each other.

These projects are extremely labor-intensive and material-intensive, and while Lu Zhixian recruited professional talents, he also ordered the captured devils to do a lot of labor.

In a short period of time.

The area centered on Heyuan County was firmly controlled by the Tiger Guards Division.

Somewhere.

The headquarters of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army.

Compared with the comfort of the previous days, the old commander's life has been extremely depressing since the past six months.

"Commander!"

Wang Conghai stood there with a complicated expression and said: "The latest intelligence has just been sent back from all over Shanxi Province. The Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale raid on the traffic arteries of the devils in various places. This battle not only destroyed the devil's various transportation facilities to a great extent, but also wiped out a lot of the devil's living forces. Now the entire devil's troops stationed in Shanxi are exhausted!"

"I really didn't expect it!"

The old commander's face looked extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The Eighth Route Army has only been stationed in Shanxi Province for more than two years, but now its strength has grown to such a terrifying level! Just the recent ones know that there are dozens of combat groups, right? This is at least nearly 200,000 troops!"

"No more, no less!"

"Damn it!"

The old commander said angrily: " Since the devils entered Shanxi Province, our Jinsui Army has always been on high alert against the Eighth Route Army, but I didn't expect them to develop to such a terrifying level! "

"Commander!"

Wang Conghai hesitated and said: "In addition to the extremely rapid growth of the Eighth Route Army's strength, the Tiger Ben Division-"

"What's going on there?"

"I just got the news that Lu Zhixian sent troops to quickly seize the four county towns of Laiyang, Hegu, Sulin, and Eqiu a few days ago. Now it has completely occupied the core section of Heyuan County in southwest Shanxi, and recruited thousands of anti-Japanese patriots in just half a month. It is estimated that the total strength of the Tiger Ben Division is now over 10,000! Once it completely digests this batch of new recruits, its combat effectiveness will surely increase exponentially!"

"How can this be possible?"

The old commander's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this.

If the crazy expansion of the Eighth Route Army gave him great pressure, then the rapid growth of the Tiger Ben Independent Division was slapping him in the face all the time.

Thinking of this, he looked at the side more depressed and said, "How are our troops replenished now?"

"Reply, reply commander!"

Standing next to him was the general of the conscription department. He said tremblingly, "The current recruitment work is not going well. From the beginning of the year to now, only more than 4,000 people have been recruited."

"Good-for-nothing! What a good-for-nothing!"

The old commander roared angrily, "The Eighth Route Army has increased its strength several times in two or three years. Lu Zhixian has recruited 5,000 soldiers in just a dozen days. My Shanxi Suiyuan Army has only recruited more than 4,000 people in more than half a year! What on earth are you doing? If you really can't do it, you can just give me--"

He just wanted to say the word "get out", but he didn't know what he remembered and he held it back.

"Commander, please forgive me! Commander, please forgive me!"

The general had to beg for mercy hurriedly.

"Commander!"

Wang Conghai said helplessly: "In fact, this cannot be completely blamed on General Xu. Since the beginning of this year, the situation in various places has not been optimistic. Many people in Shanxi Province have fled. In addition, the political work ability of the Eighth Route Army is really excellent, which has led to many patriots going there to join. Our recruitment work has naturally become much more difficult than before. In addition, you and Lu Zhixian-"

"Humph!"

The old commander's face changed slightly.

"Commander!"

At this time, He Bingquan, who was standing next to him, joked: "Although the strength of the Eighth Route Army and the Tiger Guard Division is growing very fast, and they have successively caused unprecedented blows to the devils, but in fact, we don't need to worry too much."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

The old commander's eyebrows slightly raised.

He Bingquan said in a deep voice: "Although the Eighth Route Army has won many victories and seems to be very arrogant, do you think the government will always watch them grow stronger? Besides, although the Japanese have suffered many setbacks in Shanxi Province recently, they still have an absolute advantage in the whole of China. Previously, they have won consecutive victories on the front battlefield, making the government unable to raise their hands at all.Head. No matter how powerful the Tiger Guards are, can they still be a match for the Japanese? In my humble opinion, as long as the Japanese recover, they will surely launch a fierce attack on the Tiger Guards, and then Lu Zhixian will definitely not be able to be arrogant. "

"That's right!"

The old commander nodded when he heard this.

...

Heyuan County.

All the backbones gathered here.

Since occupying the surrounding counties, Lu Zhixian has formulated a rule for half-monthly division meetings.

Today is the day for the regular meeting.

At this time, Li Benzhong and others were very excited, and they were all talking about the many situations of their respective garrisons at the meeting.

People like Han Shaogong, Wang Chengzhu, etc. who were unable to go to divide the troops were naturally very jealous, and everyone wanted to lead the troops and become a powerful general!

"Everyone! "

After listening to all the reports, Lu Zhixian said solemnly: "Although the Japanese are busy dealing with the Eighth Route Army and have no time to deal with us, our Tiger Division must not be careless. According to my estimation, the next situation will be more difficult than ever before!"

"Division Commander!"

Sun Desheng said with some disapproval: "Even the Japanese division was not our opponent before, and now the entire garrison troops in Shanxi have been attacked from all sides by the Eighth Route Army. After this round of expansion, what can the Japanese use to deal with us?"

"That's right!"

Everyone present nodded with a smile.

"Division Commander!"

However, Zhou Weiguo and a few others looked solemn. The former said in a deep voice: "Are you worried that the Japanese will begin to pay attention to fighting behind enemy lines?"

"That's right! "

Lu Zhixian nodded.

He glanced at the people present with a stern look, and then said with a serious face: "Before this, although the devils also sent a lot of troops behind enemy lines, most of the time they were mainly to control the key areas of major cities! But now, although the government is losing ground on the front battlefield, it has finally withstood the pressure. It can neither get a strong breakthrough nor be annoyed by the battlefield behind enemy lines. At that time, it will inevitably increase the intensity of the attack. I think the entire armed forces behind enemy lines will come in a cold winter!"

"So serious?"

"More serious than you think!"

Lu Zhixian nodded again, his expression was extremely solemn.
