Bright sword, I have a red police base car

When a squadron of Japanese troops arrived at the original site of Xiaocaozhuang, the original village could no longer be seen at all.

All that was left was a large crater with a diameter of nearly 200 meters. The heads of Japanese soldiers previously used to build the Jingguan were scattered in the surrounding woods along with the corpses of Japanese soldiers killed by the shock wave.

Only the remains of trucks and other vehicles used to transport Japanese troops were left.

The little devils responsible for the investigation couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw this situation. The situation at the scene was really too shocking.

"Quick, send the situation at Xiaocaozhuang to the base camp immediately!"

The reaction of the Japanese base camp was not that important at this time.

Since the Japanese army dispatched a large number of main troops from the Chinese battlefield and returned to the mainland for reorganization, the Little Devil's military strength at this stage is already very tight.

At the same time, the Eighth Route Army's large-scale offensive strategy in North China made the little devils even more exhausted.

Under such circumstances, it is very unrealistic for the Japanese army to recover the property of Xiaocaozhuang. According to the analysis of the entire battle, the Chinese army's action against Xiaocaozhuang is likely to be carried out by the Ping'an County Security Group. Implementation.

This made the little devil very uncomfortable, because their current strength could not defeat the Ping'an County Security Group.

Even the Ping'an County Security Group, which is currently in a state of disintegration to the outside world.

Nishio Juzo was very helpless after learning that it was likely that the Ping An County Security Group had robbed them of their gold. Although the current intelligence was that the Ping An County Security Group had been divided into four, according to North China intelligence, this It is very likely that they deliberately revealed their strategy to lure the enemy.

At this time, a large number of combat units appeared in North China wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms but with weapons, equipment and tactics similar to those of the Red Police.

Although it is not ruled out that the Red Police Force provided a large number of weapons, equipment and training programs to the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese did not believe that tens of thousands of troops with such high tactical level were trained in such a short period of time.

It is true that the little devils are bad people, but they are not evil.

Thinking of this, Nishio Juzo couldn't help but sigh.

Even if it is indeed false news released by the Ping'an County Security Team, what can they do?

Due to the emergence of the Red Police Force, the Japanese army suffered great losses. If they wanted to further expand the scope of interests, they had to change the battlefield and strengthen the strength of the troops.

However, there is no way to curb the development of the Red Police Forces without strengthening the strength of the troops. Without curbing the development of the Red Police Forces, there is no way to change the direction of the offensive strategy. Without changing the offensive strategy, there is no way to obtain sufficient resources to strengthen the troops.

What the Japanese Army is facing at this time is an endless cycle.

But after the news of the disintegration of the Ping'an County security team came out, the little devil finally found an opportunity to change the direction of the attack.

Even if the news is false!

After all, judging from the current combat effectiveness and equipment level of the Japanese army, they would definitely suffer heavy losses in a head-on confrontation with the Ping'an County security group.

In fact, this is all wishful thinking of the Japanese army. They came to this conclusion based on the calculation of the existing strength of the Red Police Force (the estimated number of Japanese troops) and existing equipment.

This calculation method is completely useless in practice.

After all, the Red Police Force does not only have one set of equipment. Currently, each infantry company still uses various low-end versions of weapons due to the needs of the on-site situation.

In terms of the air force alone, the main aviation equipment of the Red Police Force is still piston propeller aircraft, and jet aircraft are still in the caves and have not been used extensively.

If the little devil completes the strengthening of the troops' equipment, it will only take a few days for Zhang Shijie to order the entire army to change their equipment.

And because the Red Alert spies relied on their advantages of disguise, they had already carried out a large number of infiltrations into the Japanese army.

The news that the little devil was strengthening his troops had already reached Zhang Shijie.

What the little devils didn't expect was that Zhang Shijie was currently planning to replace the troops' weapons.

Dagushan base area, core area.

Zhang Shijie convened Zhang Ning, Chen Xi, Bai Shulei, Zhou Jingren and other leaders for a meeting on the change of troop uniforms.

"Comrades, I think you all already know about the issue of strengthening the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army, but in this case we want to crush the re-equipped Japanese army in all aspects. I personally think that the weapons and equipment of our logistics support group It’s time for an update too.”

In fact, Zhang Shijie's idea is purely due to "fear of insufficient firepower".

After all, even if the infantry of the Red Police Force still use the Type 56 gun family as their main light weapon, they still have a great advantage when facing the Japanese army after changing their equipment.

But in Zhang Shijie's view, this advantage will be greatly reduced, and this reduction will bring a large number of casualties to the Red Police Force.

"I support the chief's idea!" Bai Shulei, Minister of Equipment Department, first said:
"Judging from the battlefield development in the next stage, starting from the end of 40, the possibility of large-scale exchanges of fire between us and the Japanese army in the short term is no longer high, and during this period we will also have to strengthen the Eighth Route Army. Carrying out large-scale operations, as a pillar combat force, the strengthening of our equipment should also be put on the agenda."

Zhang Ning also nodded to Zhang Shijie after hearing Bai Shulei's speech.

Later, Zhang Shijie turned his attention to Chen Xi.

"Why are you looking at me? I have already told you about the plan to strengthen the equipment, okay?"

Then everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Jingren again.

"I have no other ideas. I just hope that you can strengthen our logistics department before strengthening the weapons and equipment of the troops. The logistics department is about to be overwhelmed, boss!"

Hearing Zhou Jingren's misfortune, Zhang Shijie could only comfort him: "The offensive phase of the Hundred Regiment War is almost over. If your logistics department persists, when the battle is over, I will be the first to join your logistics department, okay? ?”

Nearly two months have passed since the launch of the Eighth Route Army's large-scale attack strategy (Hundred Regiments Campaign). According to the Eighth Route Army's combat plan, the combat missions targeting Japanese traffic lines to Japanese strongholds have basically ended.Now most of Shanxi and parts of Chahar, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong have been fully controlled by the Eighth Route Army.

Even some units of the Eighth Route Army appeared in Mongolia and Jehol!

The actual area under Japanese control has been greatly reduced.

Tada Shun's blockade strategy was not realized. Instead, it bottomed out under the joint attack of the Eighth Route Army and the Red Police Force, resulting in the actual area under Japanese control shrinking.

The Eighth Route Army base area blocked by them expanded to an extent that they could not have imagined!

Although the Eighth Route Army still had the strength to attack again, it had to stop at this time.

One is because the Japanese army will definitely counterattack the results of the Hundred Regiment War of the Eighth Route Army in the next step; the other is because at this stage the Eighth Route Army's combat units are provided with logistical support by the Red Police Force, and now the Red Police Force's The logistics department can't bear it anymore!
Today is different from the past. The area actually controlled by the Eighth Route Army is too large!
Moreover, there are no roads, railways, airports, or bridges in such a large control area. With its current scale, how many nails can Zhou Jingren's logistics department be able to drive even if it is made of iron?
Judging from the current traffic conditions, let alone the Red Police Force, even the People's Liberation Army in 2018 cannot handle the logistics!
So the first stage of this Hundred Regiment War is about to come to an end.

The next main task of the Eighth Route Army is to digest the current actual control area as much as possible while resisting the Japanese counterattack and establish an anti-Japanese base area.

If this area is not utilized, the existing actual control area will most likely be invaded by the little devils.

The Eighth Route Army can bear it, but the common people may not be able to bear it.

In Zhang Shijie's plan, after the first phase of the operation, the Red Police Force will completely disengage from the Japanese army, leaving only two to three battalion-level troops as emergency support forces to stay on the second line, while the remaining troops will replace equipment and attack the Eighth Route Army. Tens of thousands of new recruits were trained.

At the same time, the red police unit's blockade rules during the combat period can also be ended, and troop replenishment and equipment procurement can be carried out.

Although the current red police force is very powerful in terms of equipment and numbers, it is a pity that Zhang Shijie's symptoms are very serious!

Zhang Shijie's phobia cannot be cured at all!

This is a terminal illness!
So after it was clear that the troops were to be re-equipped, Zhang Shijie began to formulate equipment upgrade and procurement plans for subsequent troops.

在步兵部队方面，除了各班组内的狙击手和火箭筒手外，所有人员换装81式枪族；67-1/2式通用机枪全部换装80式通用机枪；重机枪部队撤销编制，使用高平两用枪架的77-1（85）式12.7毫米高射机枪。

步兵营内包括迫击炮连在内的所有迫击炮全部换装85年前最新型号火炮，并撤销火力连的56式85毫米加农炮编制，换装由红警部队装备部改造的以1977年经过多轮改进的jn252型8X8重型卡车作为底盘，搭载54式122毫米榴弹炮的卡车炮作为营级单位火炮支援力量。而63式107毫米火箭炮的编制依旧保留。

炮兵火力方面，红警部队炮兵营全面取消122毫米火炮形制，将其下放到各营级炮火支援序列，其余部队全部换装59-1式130毫米加农炮和66式152毫米加榴炮。

在装甲部队编制中，各营的轻型坦克连加强一个由62轻坦底盘加装85式双联装23毫米高射炮的自行高炮排。装甲营则全面取消62轻坦的轻型坦克连的编制，其余部队也放弃使用相对落后的59式以及59-1式中型坦克，换装59D与59D-1中坦。

高机动营只保留少量装甲版212越野吉普车，摩托车编制全部取消，整体换装由wz522-1型8X8轮式装甲车，并为其加装30毫米火炮。

However, because the design of the wz522 armored vehicle is immature, the military industry department needs to rely on later technology for improvement, and it must also be equipped with a 30mm cannon. Therefore, it needs to wait for the end of the combat period before redesigning it in 2018.

The overall equipment of the air defense battalion remains unchanged, but a certain number of Hongying-5 man-portable air defense missiles that do not occupy the establishment should be equipped in case of emergency.

The Air Force will gradually sell piston propeller aircraft such as J-[-], Qiang-[-] and H-[-] to the Eighth Route Army, and gradually replace them with jet combat aircraft such as J-[-], J-[-], Qiang-[-], H-[-] and H-[-], including J-[-] and H-[-]. Make a small amount of equipment.

In terms of transport aircraft, the Yun-[-] and the downgraded version of the Yun-[-] will be used as the main transport aircraft. The previously heavily equipped Yun-[-] will be handed over to the departments of agriculture, meteorology, transportation and other departments, and will be sold to the Eighth Route Army at a reduced price.

The entire logistics support group has been equipped with domestic second-generation military vehicles headed by Yan'an SX250 and Hongyan CQ261 as the main transportation force.

在现有装备进行换装的同时，张世杰还打算在2018大量采购红箭8反坦克导弹、霹雳2系列空空导弹、海鹰2反舰导弹等85年以前的新型装备作为先进武器储备，并且加快建设火箭发射中心以及超远程预警雷达。

The equipment reinforcement plan interception will be completed before July 1941.

In addition to equipment, Zhang Shijie also reorganized nearly a thousand action teams recruited before the Hundred Regiment War. While fully integrating the newly formed seven battalions, he also strengthened an infantry company for each infantry battalion, and the remaining personnel were added to the defense Office and Zhou Jingren’s Logistics Support Department.

After being strengthened again, the size of the infantry battalion has reached 7000 people!
Moreover, Zhang Shijie also planned to establish the eighth and ninth infantry battalions, the second and third artillery battalions, the second armored battalion, the second air defense battalion and the second engineer battalion on the same scale before the end of 1941.

At the same time, since the Eighth Route Army now has full control of the southern Shandong area, the construction of the Red Police Navy must also be carried out.

The Red Police Force will greatly strengthen its combat capabilities before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

After the meeting, Zhang Shijie finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the schedule in front of him.

"Huh! After this reinforcement is completed, I won't be without troops!"

Zhang Ning, Chen Xi and others looked at the troop establishment plan in front of them and fell into deep thought.

Is this really a group?
Although the original Red Police Force did not look like a regiment, after Zhang Shijie's reinforcement, the establishment of the "Eighth Route Army Logistics Support Group" has completely gone off the road.

In any case, the strengthening of the red police force this time has finally alleviated Zhang Shijie's late-stage symptoms of lack of firepower phobia to a certain extent.

After all, the little devils have to strengthen their equipment construction. Zhang Shijie can't live with the previous equipment for the rest of his life, right?
In the guest house next to the core area of ​​the Dagushan base area, the deputy commander-in-chief also issued orders to the front-line troops to stop expansion, conduct vigilance, and prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking.

At the same time, a large number of militia units of the Eighth Route Army will also cooperate with a small number of Eighth Route Army C troops to launch a round of investigation work in the areas now under their actual control.

The remaining forces of the Japanese and puppet troops that have been dispersed will be comprehensively cleaned up.

Before the Japanese army launches a counterattack, the investigation and clearance troops must completely ensure the smooth flow of their logistics transportation lines.

After all, the current Eighth Route Army does not lack logistical support like before and can only rely on capture.

Now logistics is combat effectiveness!
