I am a wolf warrior

Guan Dashan grumbled and said, "More than half of it has been repaired. As long as the most difficult nodes are opened up, the water from the Yellow River can be introduced into our Crouching Tiger Mountain."

Kong Jie asked again: "How long will it take?"

"One month." Guan Dashan said, "It should be able to catch up with the spring plowing."

"Should?" Kong Jie reprimanded, "Lao Guan, what are you doing? You must catch up with Chun Plowing! Otherwise, this year's situation will become extremely difficult."

"Yes!" Guan Dashan hurriedly said.

"We must be able to catch up with the spring plowing!"

Chapter 310 Comparison of Forces

The Japanese army was not idle either.

In addition to the intensive training of the Kitazawa Brigade, the 2nd Guards Division stationed in Anhua is also orderly replenishing weapons, ammunition and reserve soldiers.

"Division commander, this is the roster of the second batch of supplementary soldiers."

Shibuya Ichiro handed a roster to Miyano Michiichi with both hands.

As soon as Miyano Michi took over the roster, he turned to the end.

After a glance, Miyano Doichi frowned immediately: "Shibuya-kun? Shouldn't the second batch of supplementary soldiers have 3000? Why are there only 1000?"

When the 2nd Guards Division was first formed, there were more than [-] people.

However, due to Yoshio Shinozuka's mistakes in the battle of No. A, the 2nd Guards Division suffered heavy losses, and the number of combat personnel was reduced by more than 8000%. After the battle, there were only more than [-] people left.

Afterwards, the wounded returned to the team and the first batch of supplementary soldiers arrived,

The strength of the 2nd Guards Division was restored to more than 1 people.

However, the security situation faced by the 2nd Guards Division has not eased.

The reason is simple, because the 3rd Brigade, which was originally stationed in Nao County, has been transferred away.

After the 3rd Brigade was transferred to the battlefield in southern Shanxi, the security situation in northwest Shanxi became severe all at once.

Because the 2nd Guards Division not only had to ensure the transportation safety of Tongpu Road, but also was responsible for the defense of more than ten counties such as Anhua, Ping'an, Fu'an, and Heyuan, and its strength became stretched.

Therefore, Miyano Michi repeatedly urged the 1st Army Headquarters and the North China Front Army Headquarters, hoping to fill the gap in the 2nd Guards Division as soon as possible.

With a force of 1 people, it is necessary to undertake the defense of 2 people.

Miyano Michiichi was deeply worried, feeling like he was being hollowed out.

However, the second batch of supplementary soldiers that Miyano Michiichi placed high hopes on came only a thousand!

"What's going on?" Miyano Michiichi asked with a dark face, "What went wrong? Is it the discount given by the bureaucrats in the base camp?"

Shibuya Ichiro sighed, "Division Commander, originally there were [-] supplementary troops."

"But before the departure, the base camp ordered the formation of the 3rd Guards Division. Because of the shortage of troops, [-] of the [-] supplementary soldiers assigned to us were taken away."

"So there are only 1000 people left."

"The 3rd Guards Division?" Miyano Michiichi grimaced.

"Yes, the 3rd Konoe Division." Shibuya Ichiro said, "It is specially prepared for Southeast Asia."

The worried look on Miyano Michi's face became more serious. No one can accurately predict how large the war in Southeast Asia will be. After all, the opponents this time are the Great Yin Empire and the Beautiful Country.

What worries Miyano Doichi even more is that the empire's military resources are close to exhaustion.

In order to form the 3rd Guards Division, they had to draw away the supplementary soldiers of their 2nd Guards Division. Once the Southeast Asian battlefield also fell into a stalemate, wouldn't it mean that troops would be drawn from the Chinese battlefield?

The current situation in the Chinese battlefield is not optimistic. Once the army is withdrawn on a large scale, the result can be imagined.

Immediately, Miyano Michiichi asked quietly: "Shibuya-kun, did the headquarters say when the third and fourth batches of supplementary soldiers will arrive? Half a year or a year?"

"No." Shibuya Ichiro shook his head.

"Baga." Miyano Michiichi said in a deep voice, "Then it's gone?"

"No, it shouldn't happen." Shibuya Ichiro shook his head and said, "But it is estimated that there is no hope in a short time."

After pondering for a moment, Miyano Michiichi said: "It seems that we can't pin all our hopes on the bureaucrats in the base camp. We have to find our own way to deal with the unfavorable situation in Northwest Shanxi."

Shibuya Ichiro's expression moved slightly, and he said again: "Division commander, you mean to vigorously rectify the Imperial Association Army?"

"Yes, rectify the Imperial Association Army." Miyano Michiichi said in a deep voice, "It is definitely hopeless to count on the headquarters to send us supplementary troops in a short time. Then we can only vigorously rectify the Imperial Association Army."

"I don't expect the Royal Association Army to undertake combat missions either."

"But at least they must take on the task of defending each county."

"Only by withdrawing from the defensive tasks of the various counties and strongholds along Tongpu Road, can the imperial army concentrate enough troops to launch a large-scale offensive against the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army, and the Central Army in northwest Shanxi. Only then will the law and order situation be completely improved."

Shibuya Ichiro frowned and said: "But the rectification of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army has been carried out twice, and the effect has not been satisfactory. I am afraid that it will not have a good effect if it is carried out again?"

The Japanese army in Shanxi started to rectify the puppet army a long time ago.

After Yoshio Iwamatsu took office, he only did two things.

One is to negotiate with Yan Xishan, and the other is to rectify the puppet army.

Because the puppet army in Shanxi is really outrageous. They are proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but they run faster than rabbits when fighting. Once they find that they cannot escape, they kneel down and surrender.

What made the Japanese army even more angry was that the puppet army even reached a tacit understanding with the Eighth Route Army.

Once the Eighth Route Army gained the upper hand on the battlefield, the puppet army actively surrendered, but the Eighth Route Army was not allowed to shoot. This tacit understanding caused the Shanxi puppet army to suffer huge losses.

After Yoshio Iwamatsu took office, he was determined to reverse this phenomenon.

However, two rectifications were carried out, but there was almost no effect. The puppet army should eat, drink, and gamble, and eat, drink, and gamble. When they encountered the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield, they should surrender or surrender.

So Shibuya Ichiro is not optimistic about Miyano Doichi's idea.

Immediately Shibuya Ichiro said again: "Division Commander, please forgive me, it is more practical to expect the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army to form combat effectiveness, than to expect sows to climb trees."

Miyano Michiichi said in a deep voice: "This time, we will thoroughly reorganize the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army. Except for Zhong Sang, the brigade commander, the regiment commander, battalion commander, company commander and even the platoon leader will all be replaced!"

"Nani? Are all mid-level officers replaced?" Shibuya Ichiro said, "Replace with imperial soldiers?"

"Yes, change to the imperial soldiers!" Miyano nodded, and then said, "The imperial soldiers will directly command!"

"There is still a problem." Shibuya Ichiro said, "Because of the language barrier, the imperial soldiers serving as officers must be provided with translators, and the quality of these translators is even worse than that of the Imperial Association Army, so even if the imperial soldiers are transferred to the Imperial Association Army The 4th Mixed Brigade, as an officer, will also be corrupted at an alarming rate, becoming the same as the previous advisors."

In fact, a long time ago, the Japanese army was sending advisers to units of the puppet army at all levels.

The actual command power of the combat units at all levels of the puppet army was actually in the hands of the Japanese military advisers.

But after sending these consultants to the puppet army, they were quickly corrupted by the translators and puppet army officers around them, and after a few months, they became proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

"No translation this time." Miyano Michi waved his hands one by one.

"This time, let your Excellency the General transfer the officer students from the Qinghe Military Academy."

"Officer students of Qinghe Military Academy?" Shibuya Ichiro nodded happily, "You can try it. The military students of Qinghe Military Academy are relatively simple, and have not been poisoned by the evil spirits of the outside world. Education, and more loyalty to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, that's a really good idea."

Miyano said: "Hurry up and report to Your Excellency the General."

"Hai!" Shibuya Ichiro paused.

……

Yunqi Town, the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army.

The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has been officially expanded into an independent 1st brigade.

Chu Yunfei also changed into a major general's uniform, and Liu Shiyin was showing Chu Yunfei a mirror.

By the way, Liu Shiyin has already applied to the headquarters of the Central News Agency and was approved to become an army reporter assigned by the Central News Agency to the 1st Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army.

Looking at Chu Yunfei who changed into the major general's uniform,

Liu Shiyin said sincerely: "Commander Chu, you are so handsome."

Chu Yunfei chuckled and said, "Miss Liu, what do you call me?"

Only then did Liu Shiyin come to his senses, and quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, I called you wrong. Now you are not the colonel commander, but the major general and brigade commander. I should call you General Chu."

"It's nothing." Chu Yunfei said, "It doesn't make any difference to me whether it's a general or a school officer. My wish is to kill the enemy and serve the country on the battlefield."

Having said that, Chu Yunfei paused and said again: "I just think that it's a bit too much for me to still be commensurate with my job after knowing Ms. Liu for so many days. Anyway, we are bosom friends."

Liu Shiyin's cheeks were flushed instantly upon hearing this, but her beautiful eyes became extraordinarily bright.

Chu Yunfei smiled, and took the initiative to narrow the distance between the two: "Shiyin, it's time to change your name."

"Okay, Yunfei." Liu Shiyin said a little shyly, "But I still have to be commensurate with my position in front of people."

While the two were talking, Fang Ligong hurried in. As soon as he entered the door, Fang Ligong immediately felt the ambiguous atmosphere remaining in the air, and immediately wanted to leave.

Chu Yunfei then shouted: "Brother Li Gong, what's the matter?"

"General Chu, Chief of Staff Fang, let's talk." Liu Shiyin blushed and left.

Watching Liu Shiyin's graceful figure go away, Fang Ligong smiled and said: "I really didn't expect that the humble officer is not only unparalleled in the ability to fight on the battlefield, but also unparalleled in the way of galloping in love."

Chu Yunfei laughed and said again: "Brother Li Gong, let's get down to business."

"Yes." Fang Ligong made a small joke, and immediately said with a straight face, "The second batch of weapons and equipment and supplementary soldiers allocated by the Commander's Department to our 1st Brigade have just arrived."

"Oh?" Chu Yunfei said in surprise, "So fast?"

Fang Ligong said: "Our 1st Brigade is a model unit in World War II, the face of Commander Yan, and you are the favorite student of the Standing Committee Chairman, Brigade. Who would dare to shirk? Who would dare to make things difficult?"

Humming and laughing, Chu Yunfei said again: "How much is the second batch of weapons and equipment?"

方立功道：“中正式步枪2000支，捷克轻机枪120挺以及民24式重机枪40挺，此外还有国造82mm迫击炮40门，7.92mm口径毛瑟步枪弹共计50万发，82mm口径迫击炮弹400发以及国造手榴弹5000颗。”

Chu Yunfei was slightly disappointed when he heard this.

What he wants most is actually American equipment.

It's a pity that the amount of American equipment transported back through the Burma Road is still too small. It is still not enough to equip a few direct-line Central Army, so how can there be more American equipment for the 1st Brigade?

The only exception is the Meijishan Artillery Battalion.

The 12 M1A1 75mm mountain guns were a beautiful accident.

At that time, the national government purchased a batch of M1A 175mm mountain guns from the beautiful country, but after they were shipped back to China, it became a big problem who would not give them. Kaishen came with a rain and dew, and then there were 74 doors left.

It happened that Yan Xishan also came to ask Chang Kaishen for equipment.

Chang Kaishen was assigned to the 358 regiment in a smooth manner.

But this time, no such good thing happened to Chu Yunfei.

But Chu Yunfei recovered after a little loss, and asked Fang Ligong again: "Then what about the replenishment?"

Fang Ligong said lightly: "This time, 2000 supplementary soldiers have been transferred, and the 1 personnel of our [-]st Independent Brigade have been fully replenished."

"Complete? Great."

Chu Yunfei lifted his expression and said, "How is the quality of the supplementary soldiers?"

Fang Ligong said: "Basically they are all men from the Northwest. They are a little thinner, but as long as the food keeps up, they can recover quickly. They are all good materials for serving as soldiers. This time, the military service department of the Minister's Department did not use any bait."

"I'm sorry they don't dare." Chu Yunfei snorted and said, "Brother Li Gong, immediately call all the battalion and above chief officers to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. Now that the personnel and equipment have been basically replenished, what we have to do next The job is to strengthen training, and within half a year at most, I must see an army of steel that can't be broken or broken!"

……

Tiandagang, the base of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army.

"Report!" Gao Shenxing stood at attention and saluted.

Liang Gang, who was writing the training plan, said without looking up: "Speak!"

"The World War II district chief sent people to send equipment and supplies." Gao Shenxing said, "But..."

Liang Gang still didn't look up, and asked coldly: "But what? Tell me, don't hesitate."

Gao Shenxing said with a dark face: "However, just as the traveler expected, Yan Xishan just sent someone to send a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, and the supplies are full of expired moldy stinky sweet potatoes or rotten potatoes."

"As expected, I never expected Yan Xishan to cooperate with us."

Liang Gang smiled and said, "However, there are three thousand nails in a broken ship. Even if you sort through the broken pieces, you can always find some useful materials. Let the people in the logistics department sort them out for me carefully, even if it's just recycling some gun parts. Also, don’t throw away those stinky sweet potatoes and rotten potatoes, at least they can be used to make sweet potato seeds.”

"It will be spring plowing in less than a month, and it happens to be given to the parents and villagers for planting."

"Yes!" Gao Shenxing agreed, but he didn't turn around and leave immediately, as if he still wanted to say something.

Liang Gang noticed Gao Shenxing's abnormality, and finally raised his head and asked, "What? Do you have something to tell me?"
