Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Early the next morning.

Northwest Shanxi.

North of Ping'an County.

More than 130,000 people from the New 1st Regiment, the New 3rd Regiment and the Independent Regiment gradually entered the venue according to their respective unit numbers.

According to the tradition of the Eighth Route Army, the troops had to conduct pre-war mobilization before going on an expedition.

However, in the past, each unit carried out pre-war mobilization in units of regiments, battalions and companies.

But this time, Li Yunlong ordered the direct gathering of hundreds of thousands of people for a one-time pre-war mobilization.

In the past, Li Yunlong would not dare to do this, and he would try to do pre-war mobilization indoors.

Because they don't have air superiority, they are also afraid of intelligence leaks.

For example, during this pre-war mobilization, if intelligence was leaked, the Japanese would dispatch hundreds of fighter planes and bombers for a wave of bombing, and ten thousand casualties for the Eighth Route Army would be considered a small number.

But times are different now.

Now the Eighth Route Army has gained air superiority in North China.

It is also equipped with air defense radar.

Even if the intelligence was leaked and the Japanese planes came to bomb, the troops would have enough time to evacuate and take off fighter jets and attack aircraft to intercept and fight.

Li Yunlong stood on the top of the No. 2 air defense tower, looking at the crowd of soldiers, with a murderous look between his brows.

"Look, Lao Li, these are your troops, your equipment, and your soldiers."

Zhao Gang stood beside Li Yunlong and said to him.

However, there was a hint of shock in Zhao Gang's eyes. An army of this size was not as strong as the North China Front Army, but it had already surpassed the First Army.

In terms of firepower, it is more than ten times stronger than the Japanese First Army.

Captain Li said, "Old Zhao, they are also your troops, your equipment, and your soldiers."

Zhao Gang smiled slightly.

Then the two of them looked at the troops that were gathering one after another.

Not far away, Zhang Wanhe, the logistics director of the Northwest Shanxi Military Region, showed a look of happiness on his face.

Zhang Wanhe looked at Li Yunlong, and three words came to his mind: rich man.

For this Hundred Camps Campaign, he prepared more than 1 million bullets, 100 million artillery shells, 300 million grenades for the troops, as well as 3000 large trucks, 6000 mules and horses, 6000 tons of food, 500 tons of medicine, 5000 tons of fuel and other logistical supplies.

Fully ensure the logistics of front-line troops.

Zhang Wanhe had never dared to dream of such a family background before.

Chu Yunfei led the New 1st Regiment Independent Battalion into the battlefield from the east.

Before the independent battalion, the artillery column and tank column of the new regiment had arrived first and were lined up neatly in front of the entire army.

More than 200 tanks and more than 300 heavy artillery pieces attracted the attention of the soldiers of the independent battalion.

虽然独立大队也有一个坦克营和2个105榴弹炮营，拥有54辆坦克和48门105榴弹炮。

However, when hundreds of tanks and hundreds of heavy artillery are lined up together, the impact on the soldiers is extremely great.

Chu Yunfei held his head high, looking full of energy and looking arrogant.

He was very happy to lead the 358th Regiment to join the Eighth Route Army and became a member of the Eighth Route Army.

As the saying goes, prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.

For a long time, he thought the same as Fang Ligong: the Eighth Route Army disobeyed the Chairman's orders and arbitrarily left the front line, preserving its strength by advancing behind enemy lines and conducting guerrilla warfare. However, after actually joining the Eighth Route Army, Chu Yunfei discovered that this was not the case at all.

The front battlefield is of course important, but the battlefield behind enemy lines is also important. The Eighth Route Army mobilized the masses behind enemy lines, continued to grow and develop, tied down a large number of Japanese troops, continuously attacked the devils, and accumulated small victories into big ones.

Now, the Eighth Route Army is about to recapture Taiyuan.

And this is just the beginning. In the future, we will have to recover North China, Northeast China, Central China, and South China, and there will even be an opportunity to counterattack the homeland of China.

Now, Chu Yunfei has changed his beliefs from the Three Principles of the People to communism.

Although Principal Chang secretly sent people from the Central Bureau of Investigation to contact him, saying that the principal still trusted him as a student and hoped that he would serve as an internal supporter of the National Army in the Eighth Route Army, and find an opportunity to cooperate with the National Army after the Japanese army was driven away in the future.

Chu Yunfei replied directly, "Please don't contact me anymore, Principal. I'm afraid Li Yunlong will misunderstand."

Then Chu Yunfei looked at the assembled army in northwestern Shanxi, then looked at Li Yunlong on the top of the No. 2 air defense tower, with a slight smile on his face.

This Li Yunlong always comes up with something new.

Not long after, the commanders of each column and battalion led their respective troops into the field one after another and lined up neatly according to the designated positions.

Zhang Dabiao quickly walked over to Li Yunlong and saluted, saying, "Comrade Commander, Comrade Political Commissar, all the troops are in place. Please give your instructions!"

Li Yunlong said: "The plane is coming in!"

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao turned around, walked quickly to the phone booth, and grabbed the phone. "Dial to Dagu Town Airport. The commander ordered the plane to approach."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dabiao walked aside and began to wait.

His eyes were still as sharp as a knife.

Ever since his old mother was burned to death by the Japanese, Zhang Dabiao's only dream in this life was to break into the native land of Jiaobenji and let the Japanese also taste the pain of losing their loved ones.

Although the current strength of the Eighth Route Army is still a long way from breaking into the homeland of Jiaobenji.

But at least there is hope of breaking into the native land of Jiaobenji, right?
A few minutes later, the sound of planes buzzing in the sky was heard, and the first formation of 10 reconnaissance fighters flew low in a V formation.

The moment the soldiers heard the roar of the plane, they reacted subconsciously and suddenly fell to the ground.

Some veterans and squad leaders subconsciously pressed the new recruits around them under them.

Looking down from the sky, the soldiers' falling movements were like gray waves sweeping across the sea.

As for how to react after the Japanese planes arrived, every soldier had practiced this throwing action at least a hundred times.

Skilled in making people feel distressed...

Almost at the same time, the battalion commanders of various units shouted loudly that this was the air support of our Eighth Route Army, not the Japanese planes.

The fact that the Eighth Route Army had an air force was top secret. Most of the troops in northwestern Shanxi did not know that the Eighth Route Army already had aircraft and had destroyed the Taiyuan and Peking airports.

This aerial show was a temporary decision made by Li Yunlong, mainly to boost the confidence of the soldiers, so there was no time to notify the grassroots commanders.

However, the battalion commanders of each column knew that the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi was equipped with aircraft, and the moment they saw the aircraft, they shouted to the soldiers not to be afraid.

The first echelon of 10 reconnaissance fighters flew over the soldiers' heads without strafing or dropping bombs.

Only then did the soldiers hear the voice of their battalion commander and were sure that these were planes from their own unit. The second formation of 20 Mustang fighters flew in formation, followed by the third formation of 30 attack aircraft.

He raised his head and stared at the fleet of planes in the sky with wide eyes, his eyeballs almost falling out.

Is this our own air force?

Some soldiers' mouths were almost stretched to their ears, their expressions were full of excitement, their bodies were tense, and their blood was boiling uncontrollably.

The expressions of the officers and soldiers who had just joined the Eighth Route Army from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were filled with shock, surprise, and excitement... (End of this chapter)
