Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Forget it, I won’t ask for leave, I’ll make up for it later.

------

When the Eighth Route Army was conducting operations in the past, its logistical support was not only very weak, but also basically non-existent.

After all, the statement of Three Guns and Tubal Road is actually a true portrayal of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Eighth Route Army, which lacked logistical support such as food and ammunition, still achieved a great victory in the original plot, under such circumstances, the Eighth Route Army simply could not obtain a base area covering an area of ​​nearly two provinces.

And under such circumstances, the previous Eighth Route Army had no confidence to hold on to its existing base areas.

But now things have changed.

After the economic problems were greatly alleviated, the Eighth Route Army had sufficient funds to make large-scale purchases from Zhang Shijie's Red Police Force.

Zhang Shijie also provided support to the Eighth Route Army from time to time.

Compared with the various forces on the Chinese battlefield during the same period, the current Eighth Route Army can be said to be extremely rich!

With the full deployment of light and heavy machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and mortars into the Eighth Route Army Corps-level units, the construction of brigade-affiliated artillery battalions, division-affiliated artillery regiments and other units has brought about earth-shaking changes in the Eighth Route Army's firepower.

However, while its firepower was greatly strengthened, the Eighth Route Army also discovered its own shortcomings in this battle.

That is the construction of logistics support forces.

Since the launch of the "Great Destruction" strategy, Zhang Shijie's logistics support group has been responsible for almost all the logistics of the Eighth Route Army.

Viewed from this perspective, Zhang Shijie's name for the logistics support group given to the Red Police Force was indeed correct.

At the same time, the problem lies here. Although Zhang Shijie bears the name of the Eighth Route Army, the two sides also have very deep strategic mutual trust.

But the Red Police Force is not the real Eighth Route Army!
So the Eighth Route Army still has to consider what it would do without the Red Police Force in this battle?
The B and C regiments can also ensure their combat effectiveness by seizing the equipment and materials of the Japanese and puppet troops. However, the A regiment and the artillery unit, which have the strongest combat effectiveness, will be useless if they do not have logistical support!

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army also saw the combat effectiveness of the Type A regiment in these battles.

When regiment A and regiment B have the same strength, regiment A can easily annihilate both regiments B with its superior tactics and equipment!
The Eighth Route Army headquarters was shocked when they learned of this result!

Therefore, it was also clear that the Type A regiment would serve as the future construction model of the Eighth Route Army.

But if you want to make good use of the Type A regiment, the construction of the logistics force is the top priority!

The deputy commander-in-chief who discovered this situation contacted YA immediately. After discussion and confirmation, it was decided to gather 4 recruits in this step of the recruitment plan and send them to Zhang Shijie's Red Police Force for logistics. Orientation training.

Zhang Shijie's training of new recruits for the Eighth Route Army also increased from 6 to 10!

Zhang Shijie: ...

Training also costs money!

But the wealthy Eighth Route Army said: It's okay, I have money now!

After the external operations ceased, the Eighth Route Army immediately began cleaning up the base area and spent a month ensuring the rear security of the expanded base area.

At the same time, Zhang Shijie also gathered the peripheral troops participating in the battle.

Except for the troops located in Fengyang Mountain Base, Shandong Transit Base and Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Base Area, all Red Police troops returned to Dagushan to prepare for reorganization.

Zhang Shijie also lifted the restrictions on the combat period after the Red Police Force left the battlefield, returned to the base space to recruit personnel, and started a new round of equipment procurement in 2018 through the plane bridge.

Among them is the naval force that the Red Police Force will build in the next step.

Subsequently, the Red Police Force, under the leadership of Chen Xi, began to reorganize the troops according to the plan previously formulated by Zhang Shijie.

Since Bai Shulei's equipment department still needs time to modify the truck guns, only 4 companies of truck guns have been modified.

The equipment of these four firepower companies was deployed to the [-]st Battalion, [-]th Battalion, and [-]th Battalion located in Dagushan, as well as the [-]nd Battalion located at the Shandong Transit Base.

Since the geographical environment and on-site needs of the Third and Fourth Battalions stationed at Fengyang Mountain Base are not so urgent for truck cannons, Chen Xi has not equipped truck cannons to Fengyang Mountain in the short term.

However, the infantry companies that have been strengthened to each battalion have already been sent when the action team has been reorganized.

As for the rest of the reorganization of the troops, it will be left to the chief of staff Chen Xi and the director of the political department Liu Huaqiang.

Just as the Red Police troops were undergoing large-scale reorganization, the Eighth Route Army also began to summarize this major raid.

"This time, the first phase of our large-scale destruction operation has been concluded, and the results of the operation far exceeded the planned plan. This time we dispatched a total of 120 regiments, including 3 artillery regiments, 12 A-type regiments, and 21 B-type regiments. There are 40 C-type regiments and 43 local militia regiments, totaling more than 25 people!"

"Isn't that right? There are only 119 regiments?" the deputy commander asked in surprise after hearing the report.

"Boss, there is also a logistics support team led by Captain Zhang."

Deputy Commander: Ah!That’s okay!

Counting Zhang Shijie's logistics support team, there is no doubt about the victory of the entire battle.

"120 regiments! I didn't expect that in just a few years, we would develop to this point. This operation is called the Hundred Regiment War!"

At the same time, the Japanese army also gained some relief after this month.

Moreover, according to the results of the Japanese base camp's research and judgment based on the next combat intelligence, it is basically certain that the split of the Ping'an County Security Group is their strategy to lure the enemy.

The real purpose is to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to launch a large-scale attack on them.

These are the thoughts of Little Japan. After all, the implementation time of Tada Shun and Kasahara Yukio's blockade plan is really a coincidence. From the perspective of a bystander, it is like the Eighth Route Army and the Red Police Force have just dug a big hole, and the North China Front Army can't wait. The feeling of jumping in.

However, the little devil fell into the trap, but this loss was really hard for them to accept.

Since the Eighth Route Army captured Niangziguan and blocked the railway, the little devil's railway lines in Shanxi and North China have now been completely cut off by the Eighth Route Army.

Although in this case the First Army of the North China Front will not be an isolated force. After all, it can go north to connect with the main force in Mongolia and North China, but the railway transportation line cannot be said to be easy to change!
I admit that I have suffered a bit of a loss, but the transportation line cannot be cut off!

So under the coordination of Tada Shun, the First Army of the North China Front and the troops stationed in the Yanzhao area began to assemble, and the Kwantung Army also sent some troops for support.

Since the Eighth Route Army's base areas have penetrated into parts of Mongolia and Chahar, the Kwantung Army now also has areas bordering the Eighth Route Army's base areas.It has become an established fact that the Kwantung Army will dispatch troops south.

And like the Chinese Expeditionary Forces, the Kwantung Army also started a replacement plan in order to strengthen equipment construction.

But unlike the Chinese Expeditionary Forces, the Kwantung Army did not need to return to its homeland. Instead, it directly changed gear and received training in the Northeast.

After all, the Japanese army has now mobilized a large number of troops from the main battlefield in China. Once the Red Police troops launch a counterattack, the Kwantung Army troops must provide support as soon as possible.

At this time, the Japanese army's purpose of gathering troops was very clear, that is, to capture Niangzi Pass and clear up the most critical transportation task here!
So the Japanese troops from the two divisions assembled in Peiping, ready to move south at any time.

However, the troops assembled by the First Army of the North China Front only had one regiment.

After the deployment of previously reloaded troops, the current combat strength of the Japanese army is extremely empty. This is especially true for the First Army of the North China Front, which has directly launched several battles with the Red Police Force.

So now Yoshio Shinozuka can only deploy one regiment of troops to serve as suspects in the western region to contain some units of the Eighth Route Army.

The main force will advance from Jingxing County to Niangziguan.

Just as the Japanese army began to mobilize troops, the infantry battalions of the Red Police Force were changing equipment.

As the most important combat component of the red police force, the firepower construction of the infantry battalion directly affects the overall combat effectiveness of the red police force.

And as a motorized force, the originally equipped CA10/30 and other vehicles were also immediately replaced with the light armored version of the Hongyan CQ261.

Each infantry company also began to replace the Type 81 gun family.

The biggest changes should be in the first, fifth, and sixth fire companies. After all, the 85mm cannons that were originally the main force were all withdrawn, and were replaced with 122mm truck guns.

This means that while improving the fire strike capability, the fire company's maneuverability and combat response capabilities have also been greatly enhanced.

These are all fighting capabilities!
"Lao Bai, how long will it take for the remaining truck guns to be put into battle?" Zhang Shijie asked Bai Shulei.

"Chief, we are still short of three companies of 36 truck guns before equipping the troops. All 36 truck guns will be ready within two months. However, after the artillery modifications for the equipping troops are completed, a large number of It also serves as a war readiness inventory.”

Regarding Bai Shulei's consideration, Zhang Shijie nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, Li Zhuhan, director of the Intelligence Department, approached Zhang Shijie with a piece of intelligence, "Chief, there is intelligence coming from the direction of Jingxing County. Troops from two Japanese divisions are moving toward Jingxing County in the direction of Peiping. According to the opponent's movements, , preliminarily determined that the Japanese army intended to attack Niangziguan!"

"Nianzi Guan?"

Zhang Shijie looked at the current map of the enemy's situation and was puzzled.

It stands to reason that after the Eighth Route Army's Hundred Regiments Battle, the Japanese troops have probably discovered the current actual situation of the Red Police Force. In this case, they will open a passage from Niangziguan in order to divide some of the Eighth Route Army's base areas. Do you really think that the red police force is vegetarian?

Compared with Zhang Shijie, it feels very wrong. The kid is not a fool. Why did they do this?

But when Zhang Shijie saw the location of Taiyuan and Datong on the map and the distribution of his railway lines, Zhang Shijie understood instantly.

It turns out that the Japs did not want to divide the Eighth Route Army, but wanted transportation lines for coal transportation!

But there is no difference between the two.

It's fine if they don't have the ability. Now that the Eighth Route Army has the ability, can they still watch you dig up my coal mine and use it as energy to beat me?
What a joke!
"Transfer the information to the Eighth Route Army and let them solve it on their own!"

"Yes! Chief!"

At this stage, the Eighth Route Army has three A-type regiments, one B-type regiment, four C-type regiments and local regiment-level troops near Niangziguan, and there is also an artillery regiment of the 115th Division nearby.

It is completely unrealistic to completely annihilate two Japanese divisions with such a force, but it is not difficult to resist the Japanese attack.

And the Eighth Route Army troops in the surrounding areas can reach Niangziguan for reinforcements in a short time.

However, for these two divisions of the Japanese army, Zhang Shijie did not want the Japanese army to take the initiative in the overall battle, so he proposed a plan to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Use A regiments and artillery regiments as the backbone, and assign a certain number of B regiments and C regiments to attack the Japanese army. The intensity of the attack does not need to be too strong, as long as it has the intention of suppressing the Japanese army.

Type B regiments and Type C regiments mainly focus on training troops during combat, and a rotation mechanism is implemented based on time.

The battle location should not be at Niangziguan, but in Jingxing County!

This is China's territory, why should the battle location be decided by little devils?Why should they take the initiative?
Therefore, Zhang Shijie suggested in the plan that the Eighth Route Army troops should launch the offensive first to disrupt the Japanese army's position.

There is no way, the current proportion of recruits in the Eighth Route Army is still too high, including in this Hundred Regiment War, 80.00% of the casualties of the army were recruits, so the actual combat training of recruits is also crucial!

This time the Japanese army only prepared two C divisions. In terms of troop strength and firepower, they were at a disadvantage compared to the Eighth Route Army, so this was a good actual combat training ground for the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at the two Japanese divisions that were obviously used by the highest-level Japanese army to communicate, Zhang Shijie must take advantage of this favorable situation.

So it was the Eighth Route Army that benefited.

When Zhang Ning asked later whether the Red Police Force would send support troops, Zhang Shijie gave up on sending troops.

There is no suspense in this battle. The little devil has no idea about the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army's Class A Regiment!

Even if there is a special problem, the air strike force of the Red Police Force will not give the little devil a chance to celebrate victory.

A world where only the little devil was injured was born.

After Zhang Shijie's proposed plan was passed to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the staff of the Eighth Route Army also began to evaluate whether the plan was feasible. The result was no doubt that it was possible.

Nonsense, this was designated by the Red Police Force Staff Headquarters based on Zhang Shijie's ideas. It would be strange if it doesn't work!

Then the deputy commander immediately began to mobilize troops and generals.

"The 18th Regiment, the 28th Regiment, and the 115th Division Artillery Regiment serve as the main force to advance towards Jingxing County. In addition, 5 additional B Regiments, C Regiments and militia groups are mobilized as supporting forces. The supporting forces change every month. This time The main task is to train troops! Comrades, are you clear?!"

"clear!"

Under the arrangement of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Jingxing Battle officially kicked off.
