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

Okamura Neiji and the 110th Division Lieutenant General Mamoru Iinuma discussed in detail, and at the same time Lieutenant General Chief of Staff Adachi Twenty-san also gave an explanation.

Originally, according to the North China Front's intention, the 110th Division was to maintain a two-brigade organization and be used as a strategic general reserve.

And as the 201st Division and other troops continue to develop, they also need a strong division to be stationed in the northern Henan region to maintain a deterrent to the 201st Division and other troops, so that Chen Ziyun and other troops are never able to mobilize the main troops to participate in the war.

It's just that now the divisions under the Japanese army have basically made adjustments and are completely reorganized towards the third division.

Even though the base camp knows the situation here in the North China Front, they still hope that the 110th Division will be reorganized.

The dispatched army headquarters also sent a message. They wanted to reorganize the 110th Division. To this end, they also proposed some additions to enhance its strength.

The Type 6.5 rifles and crooked light machine guns equipped by the little devils all use [-]MM caliber bullets.

These two weapons have certain flaws. After these years of fighting, the little devil has also realized this.

So far they have developed and produced Type 7.7 rifles and Type [-] light machine guns. These two weapons use [-]MM caliber bullets.

Moreover, the Type [-] light machine gun uses a thirty-round magazine for ammunition, and abandons the hopper for ammunition.

The newly developed rifle and light machine gun can effectively enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The base camp also directly promised that the 110th Division would be reorganized and fully provide Type [-] weapons.

They will also be issued with sniper rifles, cavalry armored vehicles and other weapons to ensure that they have the strongest combat effectiveness.

Last year, the Little Devils Base Camp did not have such an attitude.

At the beginning, they had just decided to fight south and organize the Southern Army. Not to mention the North China Front Army, even the dispatched army, the Kwantung Army was suppressed.

A large number of soldiers and weapons and equipment were given priority to the Southern Army. After all, it was very important for them to fight south.

However, it was already March 42, and the little Japanese went south to fight, which was extremely smooth.

The Sun Never Sets, Beautiful Country and other troops that had been dominant for a long time were completely vulnerable to the attacks of the Japanese Southern Army and were defeated one after another.

Under such circumstances, the Southern Army captured a lot, so there was no need to focus on replenishment.

On the contrary, the North China Front Army suffered successive defeats here, which made the base camp dissatisfied.

They are preparing to improve their combat capabilities to ensure that the North China Front can stabilize the occupied area and achieve the effect of supporting war with war.

Okamura Neiji held detailed discussions at the 110th Division Headquarters, and finally the reorganization of the 110th Division began to be finalized.

By March 110th, the base camp officially issued an order, and the [-]th Division canceled the brigade organization and began to reorganize into three regiments.

Two brigade headquarters were cancelled, and the major general brigade commander of the 108th Brigade was transferred away.

The Major General of the 133rd Brigade is in Yanagawa Shinichi, and the Major General of the 110th Infantry Regiment is here.

The 110th Infantry Regiment is under the jurisdiction of the 110th Infantry Regiment, which is directly under the search regiment, engineer regiment, baggage regiment, and field artillery regiment.

The Engineer Regiment and Field Artillery Regiment have a strength of [-] men, the Heavy Troops Regiment has a strength of [-] men, and the Search Regiment has a strength of [-] men.

The search wing is based on a mobile infantry brigade, adding artillery and armor, which is equivalent to a small armored infantry regiment.

As for the 110th Infantry Regiment, it consists of the 110th Regiment, the 139th Regiment, and the 163rd Regiment.

These three regiments maintain the field regiment organization, with three infantry brigades and one artillery brigade under them!
  The 110th Infantry Regiment has [-] troops, and all three of their infantry regiments have strong combat capabilities.

After reorganization, the Japanese 110th Division had a total of [-] troops.

And they selected veterans with rich combat experience.

The 140th Regiment, which was transferred away, took away all the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers of the 110th Division.

Now even the engineering and infantry regiments and the heavy equipment regiments are all officers and soldiers with rich combat experience and capable of field operations.

As for their weapons and equipment, they are very sophisticated.

Type [-] rifle, Type [-] light machine gun, Type [-] sniper rifle.

There are also Type [-] armored vehicles, Type [-] armored vehicles and other armored vehicles.

This unit began to reorganize in the northern Henan region, and they began to replace weapons and equipment.

In addition, the puppet cavalry regiment organized in the northern Henan region still remains here.

There are [-] Japanese and puppet troops here, and their overall combat effectiveness is very strong.

By April [-], the North China Front Army Headquarters issued a combat order.

A garrison was organized east of the Qin River in the northern Henan region. These garrison teams numbered about [-] people.

They are attached to a certain number of security forces and are responsible for the defense and garrison tasks of the occupied areas in northern Henan.

As these Japanese and puppet troops arrived in the northern Henan region one after another, the 110th Division no longer assumed the task of defending the northern Henan region.

They are developing towards field divisions, and it is also the North China Front that has mastered the absolute mobile combat corps and can go to fight in different areas at any time.

By April 110th, the [-]th Division was reorganized and they began training to hone the troops.

Five days later, the 110th Division began operations under the command of Lieutenant General Mamoru Iinuma, Chief of Staff Ryuzo Takeshita, and Shinichi Yanagawa, Commander of the 110th Infantry Regiment.

The 110th Wing, the 139th Wing, and the 163rd Wing launched a net-like sweep.

They carried out repeated operations with the cooperation of the engineer wing, search wing, and field artillery wing.

Until the end of the month, troops operating in the Japanese-occupied areas east of the Qinhe River in northern Henan were hit one after another.

Some newly developed guerrilla forces suffered devastating blows.

Many guerrilla zones established were also severely damaged.

The 110th Division showed super combat effectiveness in this mopping up operation.

After they changed their weapons, their overall combat effectiveness was greatly improved.

Previously, the little devil used 6.5MM bullets, which have strong penetrating power.

In combat, being hit often causes penetrating damage. As long as it doesn't hit the vital point, it's basically not fatal.

It won't even have a major impact, and you can continue fighting with a little treatment.

However, the Xiaoguizi Type [-] rifle inherits a series of advantages such as the high accuracy of the Type [-] rifle, which makes up for its lack of lethality.

As long as the 7.7MM bullet is hit, it will be seriously injured even if it is not dead, and the combat capability will be completely lost.

The Type [-] light machine gun they are equipped with has a thirty-round magazine, which can effectively launch continuous firepower.

And the 7.7MM bullet also fired is also a fatal threat.

At the end of April, the 110th Division began to stop fighting, and they gradually gathered towards the Pinghan Railway in northern Henan.

They have not carried out any combat operations for the time being. Colonel Takeshita Ryuzo, Chief of Staff, has already set off early to go to the North China Front to receive combat missions.

At this time, the North China Front was preparing to launch a large-scale mopping up, and the 110th Division was the main force appointed by Neji Okamura.

They were the first to carry out a sweep in the northern Henan area, and it was Okamura Neiji who was testing his skills to see how effective they were in combat.

The performance of the 110th Division did not disappoint Okamura Neji.

At this time, here in Jincheng, southeastern Shanxi, is the Zhongtiao Mountain guerrilla headquarters.

Chen Ziyun was not idle during this period. He actively reorganized and trained the troops to quickly restore the combat effectiveness of each unit.

The guerrilla brigade and other units under the command of Chen Ziyun have returned to full strength, and their weapons and equipment have also been enhanced. Of course, they are mainly stationed in the Yangcheng and Jincheng areas now, and have not launched any large-scale operations for the time being.

However, Chen Ziyun is still paying close attention to the combat situation in the northern Henan region.

Chen Ziyun also fully understood the specific situation of the 110th Division.

After all, he has Yan Yu, the director of the Communications Department, who comes from the Second War Zone Commander's Department. She can get some confidential information.

"The 110th Division is currently assembled in the Ping-Han Railway area in northern Henan. They can maneuver along the railway at any time."

"After North China Front Commander Okamura Neiji took office, he continued to launch mopping up operations, with the focus being on stabilizing the occupied area."

"Next, they will definitely focus on mopping up the occupied areas to attack the Eighth Route Army."

"But the 110th Division is well-equipped with weapons and equipment, and its field artillery wing has a total of [-] artillery pieces."

"And according to confidential information obtained by the commander's department, these artillery pieces are 105mm howitzers."

"To deal with the Eighth Route Army troops, there is no need for howitzers, so the 110th Division troops must have other tasks."

"Looking at the North China region, there are no other troops except the 210th Division that can allow the Japanese army to use howitzers."

In Jincheng, at the guerrilla headquarters, Yan Yu, the director of the Communications Department, looked at Chen Ziyun and reported directly.

Chen Ziyun nodded, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The 110th Division launched mopping up operations in northern Henan, causing heavy casualties to the guerrilla forces here.

There are currently almost no guerrilla forces in the northern Henan region, and the strength of the 110th Division is evident.

Now that the troops of the 110th Division have gathered in the Ping-Han Railway area, they will definitely conduct mobile operations.

"The Japs are definitely going to take action, and the 110th Division will definitely join the war."

"You are right, these little devils are not only going to deal with the guerrillas, they will fight us sooner or later."

"If we allow them to continue fighting, sooner or later we will suffer losses."

"This 110th Division must gradually consume them and eat them one by one, so that they completely lose their combat effectiveness."

Chen Ziyun looked at the map and said with a solemn expression on his face.

Chen Ziyun was very familiar with the situation of the 110th Division.

Their field artillery wing maintains a four-brigade organization, equipped with thirty-six 75MM field guns and twelve 105MM howitzers.

Its field artillery is not the [-]-type field artillery used by the little devils, but a modified [-]-type field artillery.

The [-]-type field gun is an upgraded version of the [-]-type field gun, with improved range and power.

Not to mention the 105MM howitzer, this is definitely a killer!
  The artillery equipped by the field artillery wing directly under the 110th Division has a range of more than tens of thousands of meters.

These artillery can exert strong support capabilities in combat.

Now the 110th Division is gradually gathering combat effectiveness. If they continue to fight, they can gather the strongest combat effectiveness.

Then when they come to deal with the 210th Division and other troops in the future, Chen Ziyun and other troops will definitely be under pressure.

"You want to take the initiative to attack the 110th Division in the northern Henan region?" Yan Yu looked at Chen Ziyun and said with a surprised expression.

Chen Ziyun shook his head directly. He did not think that the current 201st Division and other troops could deal with the 110th Division.

The Japanese 110th Division is fully committed to the northern Henan area. Even if the 210th Division fights through, even if it achieves victory, it will suffer heavy casualties.

Chen Ziyun would definitely not engage in a battle that killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses.

"I still need to discuss this matter with the division, but we have to gradually consume the troops of the 110th Division."

"Of course we cannot confront them head-on, otherwise there will definitely be greater casualties."

"Director Yan, please contact the 201st Division headquarters. I want to go to the division headquarters."

Chen Ziyun thought for a while and said directly.

Yan Yu didn't hesitate and nodded directly in agreement.

Of course, there were many things that Chen Ziyun could not explain directly to Yan Yu.

After all, Yan Yu was sent here by Yan Laoxi. If Chen Ziyun showed that he was too close to the Eighth Route Army, it would definitely not work.

Therefore, Chen Ziyun did not tell anyone about his meeting with Li Yunlong.

It's 42 years now, and it's also the most difficult time in "Bright Sword".

After Okamura Neiji took office, he deployed successive raids to attack the guerrilla forces.

By 42, the North China Front Army had launched large-scale mopping up operations one after another.

The deputy chief of general staff also died in the mopping up operations this year.

Chen Ziyun definitely needs to talk to Li Yunlong and give them a warning to avoid too many casualties.

Especially the series of raids in May were fatal to these troops.

On the morning of April [-]th, Chen Ziyun immediately set off for Zhongtiao Mountain.

Of course, what he and Yan Yu said was to go to the division headquarters to find Chu Yunfei. In fact, he went directly to Lishan to find Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong was doing very well during this period. Both the independent group and the new group were renovated according to the strengthening group.

The Independent Regiment has [-] troops, and the New Regiment has grown to more than [-] troops.

In addition, there are four guerrilla brigades under the establishment of independent detachments.

However, the guerrilla force developed by Zhao Gang in the northern Henan region was attacked by the 110th Division and almost completely wiped out.

However, the four guerrilla brigades have developed well in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, and they have sufficient weapons and ammunition, so they are naturally easy to train.

At this time, Li Yunlong controlled tens of thousands of troops, and he was very strong.

But speaking of worries, Li Yunlong also had some. The guerrilla forces developed by Zhao Gang in the northern Henan region were defeated.

The loss of hundreds of people made Li Yunlong feel angry.

But he also has rich combat experience. There are 110 divisions in the northern Henan region.

The 110th Division has more than [-] troops and well-equipped weapons and equipment.

Although Li Yunlong has tens of thousands of troops, there is still a gap when facing the troops of the 110th Division.

If Li Yunlong led his troops to fight, he would definitely not be his opponent, but would suffer heavy losses.

"Brother Ziyun, you are finally here. Since you have an additional Director Yan, it is not convenient for me to go there."

"Don't tell me I've been there. I'm worried about sending messages and making phone calls."

"This Mr. Yan... the same goes for Commander Yan. I will send you a communications director."

"You're finally here this time. You and I, brothers, have to have a good talk."

When Chen Ziyun came to Lishan, Li Yunlong said very happily. (End of chapter)
