    For example, their arsenal in southern Henan is some equipment left over from the previous Jinsui Army.

    Xia Yang purchased some parts from the system and upgraded the equipment, and then he had his own arsenal.

    The Eighth Route Army had no objection to working with Xia Yang to govern northwest Shanxi.

    Especially after seeing Xia Yang¡¯s advanced governance concepts and a large amount of industrial equipment, they even began to express that they would fully cooperate with Xia Yang¡¯s various policies in the northwest region of Shanxi.

    They have no way to provide equipment and technology, so they provide manpower.

    It was also at this time that Xia Yang had a very specific understanding of the number of people in the Eighth Route Army.

    Although the Eighth Route Army has several divisions in name, one of its subordinate brigades often oversees more than ten combat groups.

    And a combat regiment may have more than ten battalions.  Such a battalion may have thousands of people, almost the same size as the regiment.

    This means that the actual establishment of the Eighth Route Army has far exceeded its apparent establishment.

    In December, the Japanese troops began to shrink further, and they even abandoned some small cities around Datong.  They just reduced their forces to some key cities and checkpoints.

    In these places, they can concentrate enough superior forces to avoid defeat on the front.

    Although Xia Yang's Fourth Army fought in the Datong area, they achieved great success.  But it also requires cultivation.

    In a series of battles in northwestern Shanxi, he lost more than 10,000 soldiers in just a few months.

    These soldiers are elite, and many of them are veterans who have been fighting for a long time.

    In Lingqiu County, in just two months, the prosperity before the occupation was restored.

    The number of people on the street gradually increased.

    Those people in Lingqiu County who had moved to the ancient city of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty also returned to their hometowns one after another.

    Their arrival has added more popularity to this place.

    In the headquarters of Lingqiu County, Xia Yang was listening to Ling Feng's report.

    "We have conducted investigations around Datong and even the entire northwestern Shanxi.

    No trace of Miss Nanzhujun was found. Ever since Lingqiu County was captured by us that day, she seemed to have disappeared from the world.  "Ling Feng said with his face moving slightly.

    Xia Yang fell into deep thought, closed his eyes slightly and asked: "Where is her sister? Is there any news about her sister? I think she should be with Matsubara Masako."

    But Ling Feng shook his head and said: "We have found no trace of Matsubara Masako, and even our brothers in the three eastern provinces have not found her file in the files of the Special High School.

    Matsubara Masako also seemed to have disappeared from the world.  "

    "Continue the investigation." Xia Yang sighed.

    After capturing northwest Shanxi, his only concern was Nanzhu Lord.

    But now there is no news from Mr. Nanzhu, and no one can be seen at all.

    Especially after Xia Yang returned to Lingqiu County, he couldn't help but be moved by the scene.  I felt a little melancholy in my heart.

    The first snow in the winter of 1940 finally arrived, and the entire northwestern Shanxi, including the Chahar region, was covered in white snow.

    In the winter of this year, the Japanese army did not launch attacks on the guerrilla areas as in previous years.  They chose to nest in cities and strongholds, quietly waiting for winter to leave.

    It was also on the day of the winter solstice that Xia Yang cut the ribbon for the newly established arsenal.

    This arsenal nominally belongs to Xia Yang¡¯s Fourth Army.  However, many of the workers inside were provided by the Eighth Route Army, and some of the weapons and ammunition produced there would also be distributed to the front-line combat troops of the Eighth Route Army.

    This year¡¯s Spring Festival, the people in northwest Shanxi had a very comfortable time.

    Because they no longer have to worry about the intrusion of the Japanese army and can live in peace and contentment.

    During the Spring Festival of this year, Xia Yang asked Khuri, who traveled between the Soviet Union and Mongolia, to bring a letter to General Zhukov.

    The content of the letter was very simple, telling Zhukov to beware of German troops in the west.

    At this time, the Soviet Union and the Germans had just finished carving up Poland and destroyed it, and they were in the honeymoon period.

    After Hitler finished solving France and suppressing Britain, he began to plan an attack on the Soviet Union.

    This plan is calledFor the "Barbarossa" plan, the Germans would directly launch a blitzkrieg against Soviet airports and military bases, as well as a large number of industrial areas, when the Soviets did not respond.

    When Zhukov saw this letter, he knew that Xia Yang had a very strategic vision.  Generally speaking, what he says and the strategic judgments he makes are 100% credible.

    So he didn¡¯t dare to neglect and sent a telegram to the Soviet top brass overnight.

    But at this time, the top Soviet officials were worried about the war in Finland.

    Coupled with the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Agreement" they had previously signed with the Germans, Stalin was very reassured about the security of the Western Front.

    The Soviet troops stationed on the Western Front were basically not alert at all.

    They don¡¯t know that at this time in the German command headquarters, the locations of almost all airports, factories, and military bases have been marked in detail on the Soviet map.

    They didn¡¯t care about Zhukov¡¯s reminder, or even sneered at it.

    After the Spring Festival ended, Xia Yang got up and left northwest Shanxi and headed for Jincheng.

    Jincheng, Shanxi, is located in the south of Shanxi, not far from the Yellow River.  After crossing the Yellow River, we reach the Henan region.

    The original Japanese troops in Jincheng have been driven away at this time, and several small surrounding counties have also been occupied by troops from the Fourth Army.

    Starting from Laiyuan County, Xia Yang and the others walked for more than a week before finally arriving in Jincheng.

    At this time, Jincheng had changed into a different look. The Japanese military flag that was originally flying on the top of the city had been chopped down by He Changxing and others and replaced with their military flag.

    The Japanese troops patrolling the top of the city turned into soldiers of the Fourth Army.

    Unlike other national armies, most soldiers of the Fourth Army are neatly dressed and in excellent spirits.

    On the walls of Jincheng, you can still see some bullet holes left from previous battles.  The previously severely damaged areas of the city wall have been repaired by He Changxing, Wei Xing and others.

    He Changxing, Wei Xing, and Qiu Guoping were waiting for him at the city gate early.

    By this time, all three of them had become division commanders, commanding tens of thousands of troops.

    In addition, after capturing Jincheng, they expanded their army in the winter.  The number of its troops increased dramatically.

    Xia Yang jumped out of the car and looked at Wei Xing, He Changxing and Qiu Guoping with a sincere smile on his face.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
