    Speaking of this, the old commander couldn't help but sigh: "Judging from the intelligence transferred from the central government, my old subordinates are amazing. Except for the fact that they don't have a navy, the rest of their equipment is better than that of the people before the July 7th Incident."  The government's army was much stronger. In last year's autumn battle, hundreds of aircraft, more than a hundred tanks, and a large number of heavy artillery were dispatched to cooperate. "

    "One of their divisions is organized according to the organization they reported to the central government. Each division has three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment. In addition to the mortars and infantry guns belonging to the infantry regiment, only the artillery of more than 75 mm belonging to the division is  There are thirty-six. The total strength of the division is nearly 20,000, and the number of guns is more than the number of people. If the entire division's artillery combined, our previous army would not be able to match it."

    "In last summer's battle, they consumed tens of thousands of artillery shells on just one local battlefield in one day and night. If it were you and me, no, any unit of the entire army, they wouldn't be able to win this kind of battle no matter how hard they try.  Now they have promised that as long as we reach Rehe, all ammunition and supplies will be supplied by air. "

    "Old man, they now have strong troops and rich wealth. Their military strength and equipment are not comparable to that of our old superiors. When it comes to the results of the war against Japan, we old superiors should be ashamed. Several main divisions are fluttering these few  In the past year, no one has achieved great results in the summer battle. Old subordinates, please don¡¯t mention this again.¡±

    After hearing the emotions and worries of his old comrade, the equally experienced political commissar could only smile bitterly.  The contrast between the troops transitioning from guerrilla status to regular combat is too great.  Infantry and artillery coordination, as well as ground-air coordination in the future, will indeed be a considerable challenge for troops who originally relied solely on infantry for combat and relied more on blasting for critical battles.

    Now, with the strong support from the Northeast, the army's equipment has made great progress.  In addition to the lack of heavy artillery, there are complete range of wild mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars. The number is not small, and the artillery shells are also sufficient.  However, the ability of infantry and artillery coordination is indeed a considerable test for commanders at all levels.

    After all, although this batch of equipment is large in quantity, it does not take long to transport it.  The combat tasks designated by the central government are too tight, but the combined training of the troops has just begun.  The frequent raids by the Japanese army severely reduced the troops' limited time for combined training.

    Among the several military regions that received equipment transferred from the Anti-Japanese Alliance, except for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region, which had the advantage of being backed by the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, it was more convenient and faster to change equipment.  The rest of the troops, whether from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei or Taihang areas, have to pass through multiple Japanese blockades to northern Shaanxi.

    Whether it is a large amount of equipment being transported from under the nose of the Japanese army, or each unit having to cross the Japanese blockade and go to the Jinsui Military Region to change equipment.  After changing clothes, they still have to cross the Japanese blockade and return without being discovered by the Japanese army.  At the same time, all of this must be kept strictly confidential, which is not an easy task.

    Coupled with the interference of frequent raids by the Japanese army in retaliation for last year¡¯s Hundred Regiment War.  This major change of equipment is in addition to the fact that the Jinsui Military Region completed all the changes at the beginning of the year.  The troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 129th Division were the last to start changing their equipment. They did not complete all the equipment change work until the end of last month.

    ¡°If the Japanese army in North China had not focused its main energy on the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in May, judging from the intensity of the Japanese army¡¯s raids and blockades of various base areas in North China since the end of the Hundred Regiments War last year, I am afraid that the replacement work would not have been completed by now.  Even so, the training of artillery and some technical arms has not been completely completed so far.

    Infantry weapons are not bad. Type 38 rifles, crooked light machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns and grenades are also one of the main weapons used by troops in various base areas in North China.  For the troops of the Eighteenth Group Army who are extremely short of equipment and ammunition, whether it is the old Hanyang-made rifles brought by the troops during the reorganization, or the Chinese-style and Czech-style rifles discarded by the Central Army when crossing the Yellow River eastward, the Shanxi-Sui Army's imitation 38-type  , welcome all comers.

    Even when the 29th Army retreated, they discarded the Liao 13 rifles, the low-quality Dagu, and Zhangqiu-made rifle machine guns.  The old sleeves of the civilian armed forces were collected, and the only ammunition was used up. There was no place to find Italian-made rifles. These broken weapons did not even have spare parts. They couldn't put it down.

    There are even many places where the armed forces are equipped with Dujilong, a homemade pistol that fires one bullet.  When the Beiyang warlords retreated, they abandoned various old rifles with different calibers and no ammunition.  Not to mention the Japanese-made Type 38 rifles, crooked light machine guns, and Type 92 heavy machine guns that were much more sophisticated than domestically produced weapons.

    Since I crossed the Yellow River eastward and joined the anti-Japanese battlefield, I have captured a lot of these equipment, and I am very familiar with them.  And compared to artillery weapons, these infantry weapons are also easier to master.  But artillery and other technical armsBut it's not that easy to manipulate.  Without long-term study and training, it is simply impossible to develop combat effectiveness.

    If this old comrade beside me hadn't thought far enough, last year when the central government mobilized troops from major strategic areas to be transported by air to the Northeast, it requested the Anti-Japanese Alliance to train a group of artillery backbones for major strategic areas.  There are not enough people to use it.  By that time, let alone being unable to complete the tasks assigned by the central government, I am afraid that the entire army will become a joke.

    Fortunately, there is still less than half a month before the launch of the campaign assigned by the central government.  For synthetic training, such a small amount of time is certainly a bit tight, but it is still enough time to sharpen your weapons in battle.  I hope these cadres can use this time to mature as quickly as possible.

    Although he knew that it was far from the time to be optimistic, the veteran political commissar thought for a while and persuaded the old comrade who looked somewhat worried: "Brother, don't be too aggressive about this matter."  There is still half a month left before the final time for the launch of the campaign issued by the central government.¡±

    "Although half a month is not too much time, I think we can use this half month to strengthen the training of cadres at all levels. Although time is a bit tight, I want to simply conduct infantry and artillery coordination training.  There is still enough time to sharpen the weapons before the battle. At the same time, we can make final adjustments and additions to the formation of the troops.¡±

    "And didn't the central government say in the telegram that the main strength of the Japanese army in Jehol in this battle is to be dealt with by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. They have concentrated more than 100,000 heavy troops in that direction, as well as a large number of tanks, heavy artillery and aviation.  With these modern weapons and the judgment of the strength of the Japanese army in the direction of Jehol, I think this battle should not be difficult for them. "

    "As for us, the central government has clearly instructed that the main purpose of this battle to go north to Jehol is to clear out the Japanese and puppet forces in the countryside, cut off the connections between the Japanese and puppet troops in various places, and restrain the Japanese North China Front in Hebei from going north for reinforcements. According to this battle plan, our  The main combat targets are puppet troops and a small number of Japanese garrison troops.¡±

    "Although the combat effectiveness of the Puppet Manchu Army in Rehe is much stronger than that of the Puppet Security Army in North China, and the centripetal force is relatively strong. But under the current situation in Northeast China, the Puppet Manchu Army may not be too stable. Otherwise,  The Kwantung Army would not disarm most of the puppet Manchukuo army when the anti-Japanese war was intensifying last year and the front line needed a lot of reinforcements."

    "Even the puppet Manchukuo army transferred to Rehe has sent a large number of Japanese military advisers to strictly control it. Even the heavy weapons have been confiscated, and the distribution of ammunition must be controlled in the hands of the Japanese army. Under this situation, I think  With our current situation of sufficient ammunition, there is no big problem in completing the tasks assigned by the central government.¡±

    "Old man, the strength of the Anti-Japanese Alliance is much stronger than ours. Whether it is equipment or the quality of large-scale combined operations, it is much higher than us. Didn't you once say that the kind of battle they fight?  Can't fight? If you are inferior to others, you are inferior to others. There is nothing to be embarrassed about in front of the brothers. "

    Speaking of this, the veteran political commissar smiled bitterly and said: "Compared with the main force of the 115th Division and the Shandong Column, at least our main force has now completed the change of equipment. The reserve of ammunition is now extremely sufficient. I'm afraid they are the best.  The most troublesome thing is that the deputy commander would not have rushed to Shandong in person. "

    "This time the various military regions in North China are reloading, the main force of the 115th Division and the Shandong Column have only been reloaded with light weapons from two regiments due to limited transportation lines. In terms of ammunition distribution, the central government tried its best to transport less than eight  One hundred thousand rounds. In addition to the 500,000 rounds of ammunition dropped by the Anti-Japanese Air Force in northern Shaanxi, the total number is only 1.3 million rounds."

    "Now they are required to contain two infantry divisions, three mixed brigades, as well as a large number of heavy artillery and tanks under the extremely complex situation among us, the country and Japan, and the Kuomintang army has initiated frictions many times.  The Japanese Twelfth Army cannot go north for reinforcements, which may not be easy. "

    "Even though the central government has ordered the Third Division of the New Fourth Army to go north to cooperate with them, the situation and pressure they face are still much more difficult than ours. In any case, our equipment this time has been fundamentally changed.  Although it is not comparable to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it is still more than enough. At least the shortage of ammunition has been effectively alleviated. "

    Hearing the words of encouragement from this old comrade, the old commander nodded slightly, but then he shook his head and said: "Just do your best. In any case, I have taken over the heavy burden. Facing the remaining Japanese troops  We have a small number of garrison troops and puppet Manchukuo troops. If we don't fight well, we will really have no face to see anyone, let alone explain to the central government. "

    "You are right, the remaining timeAlthough it's a little tight, it doesn't leave any room for maneuver.  Half a month is barely enough to only train infantry and artillery coordination tactics.  However, in addition to the adjustment of the newly formed brigade-level organization, each unit must also become familiar with each other, and time is also very tight.  Now I can only sharpen the gun as much as possible during this final moment of sharpening the gun.  "
