People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Ding Wei came to the guerrilla headquarters in Zhongtiao Mountain, Yangcheng, and started talking directly with Chen Ziyun.

Li Chongtao, commander of the First Brigade who was stationed in Yangcheng before, was from the Shanxi-Sui Army, although he would also cooperate with the New Second Regiment.

However, Li Chongtao would only stick to Yangcheng and would not send troops to carry out any combat operations, and his support for the New Second Regiment was also limited.

Ding Wei only had an acquaintance with Li Chongtao and almost never met.

However, after learning that Chen Ziyun had commanded troops to station in Yangcheng, Ding Wei immediately came to Yangcheng to meet Chen Ziyun.

Because Ding Wei knew very well that as long as it related to combat, Chen Ziyun would definitely be very active.

During this period, Ding Wei commanded the New Second Regiment to launch guerrilla operations in the north of Yangcheng and the east and west areas of Qinhe River.

Several counties have been developed into guerrilla zones. As long as there is a fighting opportunity, Ding Wei will definitely not miss it.

Ding Weixin's Second Regiment has not changed much for the time being, but guerrilla groups have been formed in several counties.

The larger size of these guerrilla groups is 200 people, and the smaller size has dozens of people.

And the weapons and equipment are not bad. There are a certain number of light machine guns and rifles, and there is plenty of ammunition.

"Commander Chen, you and Lao Li are brothers, so calling me Commander Ding is too foreign."

"You might as well just be like Lao Li and call me Lao Ding."

"This time you led the troops to Yangcheng, which is a great thing."

"This is the defense deployment of Purple Mountain. We spent a lot of effort to obtain the information."

"I have to say that Purple Mountain is very important. If we can capture Purple Mountain, then the little devils will not be able to touch Zhongtiao Mountain in the future."

Ding Wei looked at Chen Ziyun in front of him and said with a smile on his face.

This time he came to Yangcheng, naturally hoping to fight together with Chen Ziyun.

Previously, Ding Weixin's Second Regiment was stationed in Zijin Mountain and relied on Zijin Mountain to launch guerrilla operations.

It's just that the Japanese 37th Division was faster. They came to the Jiangcheng and Zi JS areas and stationed directly here.

This resulted in Ding Wei's regiment having to rely on Yangcheng to launch guerrilla attacks to the north, but as they continued to develop.

The 37th Division also began to deploy troops to raid it in an attempt to completely annihilate it.

The 37th Division relied on Purple Mountain for support, but launched several combat strikes, posing a certain threat to Ding Wei.

Under such circumstances, Ding Wei naturally wanted to capture the Purple Mountain.

Before talking about it, Ding Wei wouldn't even think about it. After all, even if the 37th Division is a security division, it is still a division.

As Chen Ziyun led his troops to Yangcheng, Ding Wei knew that with Chen Ziyun's assistance, such an idea was possible.

"Hehehe, if that's the case, let's not be so polite."

"I call you Lao Ding, you can call me Lao Chen or Xiao Chen."

"I have already had an idea about seizing the Purple Mountain, but judging from the current situation, we have to take a long-term approach."

"If nothing else, the 37th Division is stationed in Jiangcheng and Zijinshan. Even if the main force of the 201st Division is dispatched, they cannot be easily eliminated."

"Especially now that we still need to be responsible for the defense of Yangcheng, and we can't mobilize more troops."

"And you don't know, Old Ding, that although I brought three regiments of troops, two are field supplementary regiments and one is an artillery regiment."

"The field supplementary regiment does not have much experience in large-scale combat. They need time to undergo training!"

Chen Ziyun looked at Ding Wei in front of him and said with a smile on his face.

Ding Wei wanted to seize the Purple Mountain, but Chen Ziyun knew very well that with their current strength, they simply did not have the ability to seize the Purple Mountain.

"Xiao Chen, of course I know this. Let's take it slow. With your strength, Xiao Chen, it's not easy to train troops."

"We will discuss and study in detail first, formulate a suitable combat plan, and take action as soon as there is an opportunity."

"I hope that we can strengthen our contact in the future so that we can coordinate operations at any time, especially to capture the Purple Mountain. I will definitely listen to your orders."

Ding Wei looked at Chen Ziyun with a smile and said, his idea is very simple, that is, he must rely entirely on Chen Ziyun.

For Ding Wei, there is no problem in taking the Purple Mountain and listening to Chen Ziyun's orders, even if he is now fighting under Chen Ziyun's orders.

"Old Ding, please rest assured about this matter. From now on, this Purple Mountain will sooner or later be the territory of your new second regiment."

"But speaking of it, I really need your help with some things, but I don't know if you can make the decision."

Chen Ziyun looked at Ding Wei and said directly.

The two field supplementary regiments currently need to be trained, but training alone cannot condense combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Chen Ziyun plans to let them engage in actual combat in the future, so that they can gather the strongest combat effectiveness through actual combat.

The New Second Regiment currently controls a larger guerrilla area, and Chen Ziyun wants Ding Wei to find some fighters so that two field supplementary regiments can fight.

Regarding this, Ding Wei did not hesitate at all and readily agreed.

In the following time, Chen Ziyun and Ding Wei drank and chatted together, discussing in detail the collaborative operations.

It wasn't until night that Ding Wei left Yangcheng very satisfied.

After Ding Wei left, Chen Ziyun called Sun Yu and Lin Zhiqiang, the leaders of the two field supplementary regiments, to the headquarters.

He began to issue orders, requiring the two field supplementary regiments to conduct training directly.

There was no talk all night, and early the next morning, the garrison troops here in Yangcheng began to actively carry out various trainings.

It was at this time, in the headquarters of the First Army in the capital of Shanxi Province.

The new officer Yoshimoto Teiichi specially summoned Nobuhiro Kojima, the captain of the special operations wing, and Kazuki Yamamoto, the captain of the special operations wing.

After the two captains arrived at the conference room of the First Army Headquarters, they waited for more than ten minutes before Yoshimoto Teiichi came with Chief of Staff Hanatani Masaru.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Yamamoto Kazuki and Kojima Nobuhiro quickly stood up and saluted after seeing the arrival of Yoshimoto Seiichi.

Yoshimoto Jung nodded in return, went directly to the main seat and sat down, and then motioned for the two of them to take their seats.

"I have learned about the situation of your troops in detail. You have performed very well in several battles."

"At the same time, I also firmly believe that you will become the absolute main force in annihilating the resistance forces in the occupied areas and the absolute reliance on maintaining security in our occupied areas."

"The main reason I called you here this time is to have a detailed conversation with you. I hope you can quickly regain your combat effectiveness in the near future."

"Starting at the beginning of next year, we will launch a large-scale operation to completely eliminate the resistance forces here in Jin Province."

"And your two regiments will assume the main combat missions. You must be prepared for this."

Yoshimoto Teiichi looked at Yamamoto Kazuki and Kojima Nobuki in front of him and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander."

"Please rest assured that we have gradually returned to full strength and can launch combat operations at any time." "We will definitely not disappoint the Commander in future operations."

Yamamoto Kazuki and Kojima Nobuyoshi hurriedly stood up and saluted, swearing.

Seeing that these two people were so determined, Yoshimoto Seiichi had a smile on his face.

The new commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshimoto Teiichi, is capable, and he already has relevant combat ideas at this time.

And this time he called Yamamoto Kazuki and Kojima Nobuki over, which was obviously a signal.

It is not difficult to predict that when the First Army launches operations in the future, these two regiments will definitely become the absolute main force.

At this time, there are no large-scale contact operations between the two sides, and Jin Province is still relatively peaceful.

Of course, the Southern Army of the Little Devils has completed its formation and has launched combat operations one after another. The colonies such as the Sun Never Sets and Beautiful Country have been hit one after another.

The Southern Army of the Little Japanese is not weak. It is the absolute main force with one-fifth of the Army and most of the Navy of the Little Japanese.

Under the attack of the Southern Army, these veteran imperial troops were almost vulnerable.

Time flies by, as if January 42 has arrived in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the North China Front Army did not make much adjustments. If we want to talk about changes, then their various units have received certain weapon reinforcements.

In addition, at the end of December 41, the North China Front Army Headquarters made an adjustment.

That is, the 110th Division, which was originally directly under the Front Army, and the Front Army's jurisdiction over the northern Henan region, were all assigned to the First Army.

The 110th Division and the Northern Henan region are all under the command and jurisdiction of the First Army.

At the same time, the 110th Division, which was originally preparing to be reorganized according to the base camp plan, has temporarily suspended its reorganization tasks and maintains its current establishment.

Starting from 39, various divisions of the Japanese army gradually canceled the brigade level.

These divisions were changed from two brigades and four infantry regiments to one infantry regiment and three regiments.

However, the 110th Division was stationed in the northern Henan area and was a strategic mobile reserve directly under the Japanese North China Front.

They are currently mainly dealing with the 201st Division and other units to prevent them from expanding in the northern Henan region.

Therefore, the North China Front made a special application, and the 110th Division maintained its current establishment.

At this time, the 110th Division had strong strength, with 108th Brigade and 133rd Brigade under its jurisdiction.

Each of these two infantry brigades has a strength of about 500 people.

At the same time, the division and regiment headquarters are directly affiliated with the cavalry regiment, engineer regiment, field artillery regiment, baggage regiment, sick horse factory, maintenance team, field hospital and other units.

Among the four directly affiliated regiments, the cavalry regiment is the weakest, with only 1000 men.

The field artillery regiment and the baggage regiment are both about 3000 people in size, while the engineering regiment has 2000 people.

Counting non-combatants such as the sick horse factory, maintenance team, communications team, field hospital, etc., the current total strength of the 110th Division is close to 3.

Moreover, during this period of time, they continued to conduct intensive training, and their overall strength was greatly improved.

As we all know, the training of the Japanese army is very demanding.

For all the little devils, the training during the recruit period is simply a hellish life.

But when these little devils finished their recruit training and entered the army, they realized that a place more terrifying than hell existed.

In the Little Devils Field Division, veterans will conduct intensive training for the newly recruited recruits to enhance their combat capabilities.

In intensive training, beating and scolding are light punishment methods.

Therefore, the intensive training of the 110th Division directly improved the overall combat capability.

On January 42, 110, in the northern Henan region, the headquarters of the [-]th Division was here.

The commander of the First Army, Yoshimoto Teiichi, came to the 110th Division Headquarters and met with the division commander Iinuma Mamoru.

Iinuma Mamoru was absolutely lucky. He never dreamed that the 110th Special Division under his command would become a field division.

He never imagined that one day he would be able to command nearly 3 troops in combat.

At this time, Iinuma Mamoru was very ambitious. He believed that he could achieve great military exploits with the help of the 110th Division.

In his opinion, the position of lieutenant general and commander is already beckoning towards him!
And here in the northern Henan region, in addition to the 110th Division, there is also a cavalry regiment of the puppet army.

Originally, there were 3000 puppet cavalry troops, and these were the remnants of the puppet cavalry that had gone through battles again and again.

These remnants must be veterans if they can survive battle after battle.

However, Iinuma Mamoru arranged for Colonel Takeshita Ryuzo, Chief of Staff, to conduct training. So far, of the 3000 puppet cavalry, only 2000 are left.

The remaining 1000 puppet cavalry were all killed and seriously injured during training and were unable to continue participating in the battle.

The current 2000 puppet cavalry troops have very strong combat effectiveness, and their strength is not weaker than the little Japanese cavalry troops.

"Your Excellency Commander, our division has completed various trainings and has strong strength. It can participate in battle at any time."

"If your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, has any combat missions, you can give them to us directly. We promise that we will not let you down."

"Even if we launch a combat strike against the enemy forces west of the Qin River in the northern Henan region, we are sure to completely eliminate them this time."

When Iinuma Mamoru saw Yoshimoto Seiichi, he had a serious expression on his face and made a direct statement.

The 110th Division now had strong troops and well-equipped weapons and equipment. Naturally, Iinuma Mamoru hoped to fight on the battlefield and gain military exploits.

Yoshimoto Sadashi smiled when he saw Iinuma Mamoru's attitude.

"Xinxi, I know the situation of your 110th Division. As the strategic mobile reserve of the front army, there is no doubt about your strength."

"This time the front army headquarters has assigned you to the first army sequence. Naturally, you will launch a larger-scale operation."

"And I also have a combat mission when I come here, Commander Iinuma Guards. This time I will provide you with a good opportunity to show off."

Yoshimoto Zhenyi came to the map, pointed at the northern Henan region, and spoke directly.

The northern Henan region and the Shanxi Province region are separated by the Taihang Mountains. Of course, in a broad sense, the Zhongtiao Mountains also belong to the Taihang Mountains.

Currently in the southeastern Shanxi region, the Japs control the important town of Luzhou City.

To the west of Luzhou City is the Taihang Mountain, and to the west of the Taihang Mountain is the northern Henan region.

So far, the 129th Division has been stationed in the Taihang Mountain area, and they use this as a base to launch guerrilla operations.

Li Yunlong's independent detachment is in Zhongtiao Mountain and Commander Chen's troops are in Taiyue Mountain, so they can effectively carry out support operations.

If the little devil wants to launch a combat attack against them, he will be greatly restricted.

This time Okamura Ningji handed over the 110th Division in the northern Henan region to the jurisdiction and command of the First Army, which can be said to have effectively solved this problem. (End of chapter)
