    The strength of the garrison regiment has also expanded from the previous three regiments of 6,000 to four regiments of 8,000.

    Their main task is the peripheral defense of the entire Taibai Mountain area.  The spies sent by the Japanese army and everyone entering Taibai Mountain are almost always under their surveillance.

    They set up a large number of rotating sentry posts. These rotating sentry posts became the eyes of the entire Mongolian ancient city, so that Japanese soldiers who wanted to sneak into Taibai Mountain to explore could hardly go far before they were discovered.

    In addition to these, the cavalry regiment also played a great role in this battle at Taibai Mountain.  In mountain operations, tanks and armored vehicles cannot move. The mobility advantage of cavalry over infantry and the ability to harvest the battlefield come into play at this time.

    Therefore, Xia Yang planned to expand the cavalry regiment into a cavalry brigade. The original one cavalry regiment became two cavalry regiments at this time.  A total of more than 4,000 people.

    As for the horses used by the cavalry, except for some of the horses originally raised by Xia Yang and others, they were still obtained from the Kagel tribe.  There was not much there, and the most abundant ones were Mongolian horses, cattle and sheep. Through various channels, thousands of war horses were successfully transported into the ancient city of Mongolia and formed a new cavalry regiment.

    As for the staffing situation of other units, it remains basically unchanged.

    The expansion of the troops lasted for about a month before it came to an end.  After that came intense training for the newly recruited soldiers and the treatment of some wounded soldiers.

    Some soldiers who were injured on the battlefield were able to return to the army after receiving treatment.  Many others were seriously injured and could no longer continue fighting, so Xia Yang paid them pensions and arranged housing and farmland.  Even if it was a matter of spouse, Xia Yang would find a way to help them solve it.

    Although the battle was victorious, Xia Yang knew the cruelty of war. Even as the victorious party in that battle, they paid a heavy price.

    But what makes Xia Yang happy is that in the Huangsha Hundred Battles System, his number of enemies annihilated has increased again.  Along with the increase, the amount of merit points also increased.

    Their four divisions eliminated more than 10,000 Japanese troops, including a large number of senior Japanese officers.  Although the merit points awarded to ordinary Japanese soldiers are not much, the rewards awarded to senior commanders are often astronomical figures.

    For example, if an ordinary Japanese soldier is killed, he will be rewarded with 100 merit points, but if he kills a Japanese major general, he will be rewarded with 1 million merit points, and if he kills a Japanese lieutenant general, he will be rewarded with 5 million merit points.

    During the battle at Wutai Mountain, Xia Yang's troops killed a large number of Japanese lieutenants and colonels, as well as major generals and lieutenant generals.  Just one Nakajima Jinchao is a reward of five million merit points.

    Although I can¡¯t say that Nakajima was directly killed by Xia Yang¡¯s troops today, he did die because of the heavy siege by Xia Yang¡¯s troops, so the system will also count this credit on their heads.

    Although there are many rewards for merit points, as the size of the army continues to expand, the number of weapons and equipment Xia Yang needs to purchase has also increased a lot compared to before.

    Especially in large-scale operations, the consumption of ammunition and medicine is astronomical.  In the half-month battle in Wutai Mountain alone, he spent millions of merit points on purchasing various ammunition and medicines.

    Xia Yang added some weapons and equipment. In addition to some heavy machine guns and other weapons, there were also some small-caliber mountain cannons.  These mountain guns are used as supporting firepower at the battalion level. Their functions are similar to mortars, but they have a larger range and can provide support for battalion-level operations.  By laying the mountain cannon flat, it can be used for position defense and become a flat-firing cannon.

    In addition to these, Xia Yang also purchased a large amount of steel for the construction of peripheral defenses in the Mongolian Ancient City.  These fortifications were able to withstand Japanese heavy artillery bombardment.

    As civilian products, these steels are much cheaper than military items.  To purchase thousands of tons of steel, Xia Yang spent only a small amount of merit points.

    On the top of the hillside around the Mongolian Ancient City, the defensive positions and air defense weapon positions built on it were already quite large at this time.

    "The story of our annihilation of a Japanese division has spread, and the Chairman's commendation order has been sent." Hao Shiwen said with joy as he walked behind Xia Yang.

    Xia Yang smiled lightly and said: "Why does this chairman always give commendations? Is there anything else?"

    "There are also medals." Hao Shiwen said, "In addition to these, Master, you have also been promoted."

    "Promoted? Army commander?" Xia Yang asked.

    HaoShiwen nodded and said: "Yes, you are now promoted to the commander of the Fourth Army, and you will be in charge of the national army operations in the central and northern Shanxi regions. You are only in your twenties, and you can be said to be the youngest commander in the entire history of the national army.  ¡±

    Xia Yang said calmly: "Commander, he didn't give me a promotion, and neither did I. I don't know if this military commander has any benefits, such as giving us some equipment or something."

    But Hao Shiwen shook his head and said: "No, there is nothing, just epaulettes, military uniforms, and commendation orders."

    "That's not true." Xia Yang said this and walked to an air defense position.  There are several individual air defense missiles placed there, which can monitor and attack Japanese aircraft invading this airspace in real time.

    ¡°According to the flying speed and almost zero stealth performance of the Japanese aircraft, it is basically impossible to avoid the strike of such individual air defense missiles in later generations.

    "By the way, there is one more thing. It is said that reporters will be sent over to the summit to interview you properly." Hao Shiwen said.

    Xia Yang asked after hearing this: "The interview is on one side, or they may be here to monitor us."

    Hao Shiwen nodded, thinking that this was also possible.  After all, Xia Yang and the Eighth Route Army were very close. Although it was a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the diehards at the top of the Kuomintang were very strong.  Various attacks and encirclements against the Eighth Route Army also occurred from time to time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
