Because he knew very well that this place was located in the Japanese-occupied area, and sooner or later the Japanese army would discover this place. Once this place is discovered, it will become a key target for the Japanese army to destroy.
Xia Yang must make all preparations to deal with this day.
Dai Caixi sat behind Xia Yang's horse, hugged his waist and said, "Xia Yang, what do you think, if the war ends one day, we can live an ordinary life in this ancient city?"
Xia Yang said: "Of course it's good, but after this war is over, there will be another war. I'm afraid we have to wait for a while for our peaceful days."
After hearing this, Dai Caixi smiled and said, "That doesn't matter. As long as I'm with you, anything is fine."
Xia Yang said: "Hey, our classmate Dai Caixi, why are you starting to behave like a little girl now? When you were on the battlefield, I saw that you were very tough, carrying a seriously injured person in the trench. The one jumping up and down is even worse than Yu Mo."
Dai Caixi snorted and said: "What do you know? When you should be tough, you must be tough. When you should be gentle, you must be gentle."
As they were talking like this, the two of them had already reached the city gate. The place was already full of people welcoming them. When the people in the city heard that Xia Yang was coming back, they took the initiative to come here to welcome them.
"General Xia, you are finally back. Our people here miss you very much." Someone in the crowd shouted loudly. Others also responded one after another.
Xia Yang laughed and said: "I miss you too. Without you, our Mongolian Ancient City would not be able to develop to the point where it is now."
At this time, Staff Officer Hao came over, saluted Xia Yang with a standard military salute and said: "Master, the banquet is ready for you to wash away the dust."
Xia Yang walked over with a smile, then returned a military salute, patted Hao Shiwen on the shoulder and said: "Consultant Hao, you did a good job. The ancient city of Mengyuan has been built very well. In the six months since I left, I think Meng Yuan The scale of the ancient city has expanded a lot."
Hao Shiwen said with a smile: "Of course, we have accepted a lot of people and at the same time expanded the number of the army. The weapons and equipment you transported from Outer Mongolia some time ago have updated the army's equipment a lot. "
Xia Yang said with a smile: "This is just the beginning. We will have a lot of new equipment to be added later, just waiting to receive it."
The Fengfeng Banquet was busy until twelve o'clock in the evening, and it was finally over. Because Xia Yang's rules prohibit drinking, even at this time, they did not drink.
After returning to his headquarters from the banquet, Xia Yang went directly to the headquarters.
Hao Shiwen had already been waiting there, holding a compiled report in his hand.
That is a summary report based on the development of various forces belonging to the Fourth Division in the past six months. It mainly includes the Kagel Combat Brigade in Outer Mongolia, the guerrilla operations in the Wutai Mountains, the development of He Changxing and Wei Xing in western Henan, and finally the development of the command center in the ancient city of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty.
This report is very detailed, covering the combat situation in these areas, changes in the number of troops, equipment conditions, difficulties encountered, and future development directions, etc. It has made detailed statistics and planning.
Xia Yang looked through it for a long time, and then he accurately realized how horribly his troops had expanded in the past six months.
First of all, the number of combat personnel in the ancient city of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty has increased from more than 7,000 to 20,000 now, and this also includes the development of the artillery regiment.
In the Wutai Mountain area, the Fourth Brigade led by Chen Shiliang has relaxed a lot in suppressing these guerrillas because the Japanese army has deployed a lot of troops to support the Nomonhan Campaign in Outer Mongolia in the past six months. Taking advantage of such an opportunity, Chen Shiliang frantically expanded his base area, causing the number of his troops to increase from more than 2,000 after the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign at the end of 1938 to more than 5,000 now.
As for the Xin'an County area, there is basically no need to worry about encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army. It is developing very smoothly and there are enough soldiers to recruit. The number of its troops has also expanded from 10,000 at the beginning to more than 25,000 now.
He Changxing's First Regiment and Wei Xing's Third Regiment were also expanded into brigades at this time. Together with Qiu Guoping's independent brigade, the personnel of each brigade was about 7,000. Including several local security groups, the actual number of combatants has more than doubled than before.
As for KagelAfter the Battle of Nomenhan, the actual area under the control of the Battle Brigade more than doubled, and its combat personnel expanded from more than 20,000 at the beginning to 50,000. This is Xia Yang's trump card.
Adding up all these areas, the number of soldiers Xia Yang can command in combat has exceeded 100,000.
In terms of quantity alone, a unit like Xia Yang can already be regarded as a group army. In name, Xia Yang was only a division commander, not even an army commander, let alone the commander-in-chief of a group army.
As for the quality of the soldiers, Xia Yang's troops are all elite soldiers who have undergone rigorous training, and their weapons and equipment also have advantages over the Japanese army. In particular, its most elite Kagel combat brigade has directly realized mechanization.
If such a force is really brought to the battlefield, one hundred thousand people can be used as two hundred thousand people.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Xia Yang looked at other data. For example, the construction of factories, the increase in population, the production of grain, and the tonnage of grain stored in granaries, etc.
An elite army needs to consume a lot of materials to support. These grains and factories are the pillars that support the army's operations.
Xia Yang never thought that one day he would grow from a small battalion commander to a general with an army of 100,000. And to do all this, from 1937 to now, it only takes more than two years. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
