Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

"Chief of Staff...I heard that the troops are being troubled..."

Although Zhang Yunqing has been fighting Japanese invaders in Shanxi Province, he is not unconcerned.

Although this matter is not well-known to everyone here in the Eighth Route Army, cadres like Zhang Yunqing still understand it...

The chief of staff nodded.

"It's been a troubled time...It's been a troubled time..."

If the anti-Japanese plan can be carried out according to the established path, the Japanese will not be able to persist for long...

As long as everyone shares the same hatred, there is no need to worry about being unable to defeat the Japanese.

"The weasel is sending New Year greetings to the rooster, it's not a good intention..."

"It's better to be careful..."

Having said this, Zhang Yunqing didn't say much.

This kind of thing requires its own judgment.

The most important thing for the Independent Division now is to kill the Japanese.

In addition to fighting the devils, that is to fight the devils!

Hurry up and develop your own troops, so that you can speed up the entire anti-Japanese process in the future...

......

On the third day, the chief of staff and the cadres from the headquarters were ready to return to the headquarters.

Before leaving, the two of them still exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Now, I don’t know when we will see each other next time. It may be half a year, it may be a year, or it may be after the end of the anti-Japanese war...

"Yunqing... heroes emerge from troubled times..."

"The fact that you can pull out such a huge team in such a short period of time is impressive..."

"I also hope that you will not forget your original intention...and remain firm..."

After saying this, the chief of staff embarked on the journey with a large group of cadres.

Zhang Yunqing was filled with emotion when he looked at the team in front of him.

The anti-Japanese war has not yet reached its mid-term.

It's almost 1941 now, and it seems that our troops should develop quickly.

In fact, the development of the First Independent Division is no longer slow.

Previously, only infantry brigades and regiments directly under division headquarters were counted.

The combined personnel of the four infantry brigades were about 100,000 men.

The number of regiments directly under the division headquarters and Long Yan's special forces is around 5500.

The number of artillery regiments is about 2000!

The number of armored battalions, cavalry battalions, aviation groups and other units is as high as more than 4000!

This adds up to a lot of people.

The reason why Zhang Yunqing didn't want to talk to so many people was because he wanted to keep a low profile.

Low-key development is the way to go.

However, it is better to keep a high profile for the little devils.

Relying on the current number and equipment of the Independent Division, there are tens of thousands of troops, and they are all Su Weapon Brigade, Fine Weapon Brigade, etc.

There are dozens of planes, dozens of tanks...

There are even hundreds of cannons...

Therefore, Zhang Yunqing is very confident that he will kill the Japanese's fifth division!

In just one year, the army has grown from more than a thousand people to nearly one today. This development speed is also jaw-dropping...

A large part of the new recruits came from the Central Plains area.

Although it is not 1942, there are already disasters in some places, and they have very little food...

Therefore, he had no choice but to join the army, as the First Independent Division was relatively well-known, and he also had a settlement allowance and military pay.

They are even more enthusiastic about joining the army...

"If we are human now, will it double in one year..."

"1942..."

"It seems that we really have to focus on the Central Plains region in the future!"

Since ancient times, the Central Plains region has been a must-have for military strategists. Surrounded by natural dangers such as the Yellow River, its geographical location is very important.

At the same time, it is also a major source of troops for the Chinese army to supplement its strength.

Once any disaster breaks out, millions of victims will rush in all directions...

Zhang Yunqing wanted to save people and expand his own troops.

These two points are not in conflict.

"There is still hope that the army will break through to 100,000 troops next year..."

"Just take it one step at a time..."

Zhang Yunqing said softly.

However, at this moment, the system's voice sounded from Zhang Yunqing's mind again.

"Dip... It has been detected that the host is about to attack the Japanese Fifth Division. Hereby rewards: 4 B-1913 M2 howitzers, 2000 rounds of artillery shells (including 30 artillerymen, 10 tractors, 10 loading vehicles, etc. )!"

"Katyusha rocket launcher*2, shells*2000!"

"STG assault rifle*2000, bullet*200 million!"

"All rewards have been distributed to the system's portable space. Please pay attention to the host to check them."

Zhang Yunqing did not expect that the B4 howitzers would come out.

Could it be that they were specially rewarded to increase their confidence in attacking the city...

Now Zhang Yunqing even feels a little flattered...

After all, the B4-type 203mm caliber howitzer is called Stalin's Hammer.

With this cannon, everything, whether it is a city tower or a fortress, will be smashed to pieces...

Power is no joke.

If a small tower like Ping'an County is really hit with one shot, more than half of the entire tower will be blown up...

"Suddenly there are two more 203mm caliber howitzers, so we must make good use of them..."

"Then we have to attack the city..."

"Yangquan County is the first one, followed by Taiyuan City..."

Zhang Yunqing said leisurely.

So, the next day, Zhang Yunqing made a big decision directly.

That is to establish an independent first division artillery brigade!

Wang Chengzhu, commander of the artillery brigade, has 8 artillery battalions and 1 large artillery battery!

They are field artillery battalion, infantry artillery battalion and mountain artillery battalion.

The 105st Heavy Artillery Battalion is responsible for the mm caliber howitzer.

The 150nd Heavy Artillery Battalion is responsible for the mm caliber howitzer.

The 152rd Heavy Artillery Battalion is responsible for the mm caliber howitzer.

The anti-aircraft gun battalion is responsible for 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 128mm anti-aircraft guns, and 40mm anti-aircraft guns!

巨炮连下辖2门203mm苏联B4榴弹炮，其中将会有300名步兵，10挺重机枪，20挺轻机枪，1个高射炮连，1个步兵炮连、4辆坦克负责保护B4榴弹炮....

This thing is much more powerful than a 150mm caliber howitzer. It can really knock down the city towers of Yangquan County with one shot!

Zhang Yunqing must be protected...

In addition, the Katyusha Rocket Artillery Battalion has also been established!

It has 10 Katyusha rocket launchers, and one rocket launcher with 1000 rounds of artillery shells.

At least I can fight for a few rounds...

Zhang Yunqing also decided to attack the Japanese Fifth Division this time, and the Katyusha rocket launcher will make its first appearance!

The Fifth Division is bound to be hit hard!

This battle must be won!

Whether it is the B4 203mm howitzer or the Katyusha rocket launcher, it will become a nightmare for the Fifth Division...

At the same time, the First Independent Division Artillery Brigade was officially established!

This will also become a great weapon for the Independent Division to attack the city in the future!

Stalin's hammer
