    On the first day of the New Year in 1939, Xia Yang and the others led their troops in a triumphant return from the Mount Wutai area.

    In order to avoid the Japanese troops, they wandered in the mountains for more than a week before returning to the ancient city of Mongolia.

    Heavy snow has closed the entire Taibai Mountain. Xia Yang stood on the wall of the Mongolian Ancient City and looked at the solar panels that had been built before on the hills in the distance.  At this time, the place was covered with heavy snow, and the personnel responsible for maintaining the solar panels were clearing away the snow to avoid affecting the normal operation of the solar panels.

    "Master, the artillery battalion is ready. Why should we start firing salutes later?" Xiao Yuebing ran over at this time and said to Xia Yang.

    Xia Yang looked at the warm sun in the sky and said to Xiao Yuebing: "Why are you so anxious? What time is it? Wait until midnight and let the brothers in the artillery battalion fire the salute."

    Xiao Yuebing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell Battalion Commander Cai right now."

    After transporting all the cannons captured from the Japanese army, they began to prepare for the construction of the artillery battalion non-stop.

    Now half a month has passed, and the artillery battalion has finally been prepared.

    Cai Heyuan became the battalion commander of the artillery battalion and was responsible for commanding the artillery battalion.  In order to support the construction of the artillery battalion, Xia Yang also used the large amount of merit points he earned during this period to purchase a lot of artillery shells and equipment for cannon maintenance from the Huangsha Baizhan System.

    Xia Yang had actually been imagining the construction of an artillery battalion a long time ago.  But I was suffering from the fact that I only had ideas, but I couldn't get so many cannons.

    But this time it was different. The Japanese mountain artillery they captured successfully filled this gap.  In future battles with the Japanese army, with the support of these mountain artillery, Xia Yang and the others will definitely not lag behind the Japanese army in terms of fire support.

    The Japanese artillery they captured this time was the Japanese Type 94 mountain gun.  This type of mountain cannon is a replacement for the old Japanese Type 41 mountain cannon, with a caliber of 75mm. It is considered very good among artillery of the same level.

    The weight of the mountain cannon is well controlled and can be disassembled.  If a skilled artilleryman dismantles it, it can be disassembled into 11 parts within five minutes, of which the final gun mount and barrel weigh no more than one hundred kilograms.

    In the Shanxi area where transportation is inconvenient, this kind of disassembled artillery is very convenient for transportation.  Even when fighting in areas such as the Taihang Mountains, they can be quickly deployed and put into battle.

    Although the caliber is small and not as good as those giant howitzers on the European battlefield, the maximum range of the Japanese Type 94 mountain gun is about eight kilometers. In other words, it can provide artillery for troops within a radius of eight kilometers.  support.

    Speaking of this kind of artillery, it has just begun to be installed in Japanese troops.  The operation in Shanxi is also to test its actual combat performance.  However, the Japanese base camp would never have imagined that these newly installed artillery pieces did not hit the heads of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, but instead blossomed on their heads.

    In the battle against the Japanese army, this artillery can indeed be said to have excellent performance.  However, for the Japanese 74th Brigade, which was bombarded by Xia Yang and others with the Type 94 mountain artillery at that time, this excellent performance may not be what they want.

    Seeing Xiao Yuebing walking down, Xia Yang also walked down from the wall outside the Mengyuan Ancient City.  The soldiers saluted Xia Yang along the way. Xia Yang was too lazy to return the salutes one by one. He just nodded and walked towards the city.

    From 1937 to the present, they have been developing in the ancient city of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty for more than a year.

    During this period of time, the ancient city of Meng Yuan changed from an empty city to its current prosperous state, which even Xia Yang could not imagine at the time.

    At this time, the ancient city of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty already had a very complete material supply system, and there were even many factories in operation, capable of producing a large amount of military items and civilian supplies.

    These things are not only due to the foundation laid by Xia Yang before, but also due to the unremitting efforts of these people in the Mongolian Ancient City.

    The permanent population of Mengyuan Ancient City at this time has grown from tens of thousands at the beginning to more than 200,000 now.

    The vast majority of these more than 200,000 people are refugees, or have been transferred from surrounding villages.  Due to the surge in population, the original area of ??the Mongolian Yuan Ancient City was no longer enough to accommodate such a large population.

    After encountering this kind of problem, Staff Officer Hao Shiwen and Hao led the soldiers and civilians of the ancient city of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty.?Successfully opened up a lot of land in the valley to the north of the ancient city of Mengyuan, and settled many residents in that area.

    At this time, half a month had passed since they returned to the ancient city of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty from the Wutai Mountain area.  The work of recruiting soldiers began on the first day back here.

    In the battle with the Japanese army, although they killed many little Japanese, they also suffered a lot of losses.

    During this period, the Second Brigade, the cavalry regiment, and the guard battalion were sent out to fight, and the number of casualties totaled more than a thousand.

    Although compared with the number of Japanese troops that were wiped out, this small sacrifice is really not a heavy loss.  But Xia Yang still felt a pain in his body.

    Those were all outstanding soldiers he had trained. When more than a thousand people fell on the battlefield at one time, he was naturally distressed.

    But similarly, in the fierce battle with the Japanese army that lasted for more than a month, the soldiers who were taken out to fight by Xia Yang this time all experienced real tempering.

    Originally, there were many new soldiers in these troops who had never participated in actual combat with the Japanese army.  Although there are a lot of training and exercises in daily life, this is the first time that I have applied what I have learned in daily life to the battlefield.

    After experiencing such a series of battles, they can truly become qualified warriors.

    And these grown-up veterans can impart their battlefield experience to the new recruits who join later, so that more soldiers can grow up quickly, so that they can withstand the test of cruel war.

    After walking down from the city wall, Xia Yang saw Dai Caixi standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

    At this time, Dai Caixi was wearing a white coat, but on the white coat, you could still see spots of blood.

    That was the blood of wounded soldiers in the hospital. She had recently been working as a nurse in the hospital to help treat wounded soldiers, so it was inevitable that she would be contaminated with it.

    There are relatively few updates during this period. I¡¯m really sorry to everyone. I will resume the previous updates after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
