Time slowly came to May, and it was already the eve of the war.
Xia Yang and his troops, after half a year of preparation, are well-equipped. Not only has the equipment been updated a lot, but the weapons, ammunition, and various logistical support resources are also fully prepared.
In more than half a year, Xia Yang has made his army, from the original only mechanized force of the Kagel Combat Division, to semi-mechanized of the entire Fourth Army.
No matter which unit it is, the transportation of materials and equipment can already be completed by trucks.
At the same time, armored vehicles and tank vehicles also began to be formed in various combat divisions.
It¡¯s just that they haven¡¯t been able to do it, like the Kagel Combat Division, which is almost fully mechanized.
The large-caliber howitzer regiment has also increased from the original three to five. There are more than 400 large-caliber howitzers, which can level large areas of the Japanese army's positions in just a few minutes.
As for weapons such as mountain artillery and field artillery, they have even spread to the lower-level troops. Basically every regularly organized combat regiment has its own mountain artillery battery or field artillery battery. Provides fire support to regimental level combat units.
Many fire support vehicles transformed from trucks are also equipped with front-line troops.
These fire support vehicles are not only loaded with heavy machine guns and small-caliber artillery, but also rocket nest systems and can even serve as troop carriers to deliver soldiers to various parts of the battlefield in a timely manner.
The six-month-long military training has allowed the recruits to be extremely tempered in day-to-day training and various large-scale combat exercises.
The individual combat qualities of these soldiers are definitely better than those of the Japanese army.
At the beginning of May, Xia Yang reconvened the division commanders in northwest Shanxi to participate in the meeting and discussion of the next stage of operations.
Also participating were the commanders of the 386th Brigade and several other combat units of the Eighth Route Army.
Although the 386th Brigade at this time is still designated as a brigade, its actual strength has exceeded that of an army of the Kuomintang.
And with Xia Yang¡¯s help, these Eighth Route Army troops also obtained a lot of equipment.
A large part of them are weapons and equipment produced in arsenals.
Although the Fourth Army also has a demand for these weapons and equipment, it is not that big. After all, the Fourth Army can be said to be extremely rich, while the Eighth Route Army is extremely poor.
Within a few months, most of the tens of thousands of rifles and hundreds of light machine guns produced by the arsenal were equipped in the Eighth Route Army.
Xia Yang only asked the troops to receive some ammunition for strategic reserves.
Before the meeting started, Chen Shiliang, Ma Siyuan, Liu Fudong, Beilun and others had already gathered together to talk nonsense.
"I won't say much more about our Kagel Combat Division. As long as it is an area with flat terrain, if we pull up the tanks and armored vehicles of our Kogar Combat Division, we will definitely be invincible." Liu Fudong was full of confidence. said.
Beilun also echoed: "Not only that, our cavalry troops are also absolutely top-notch. Whether it is a long-distance attack, a short-distance charge, or division and encirclement, pursuit and strangulation, they are all our specialty."
The two of them have such confidence. After all, the cavalry and armored units of the Kagel Combat Division have been vividly demonstrated in the battle in Fengzhen.
Next to them, Ma Siyuan and Chen Shiliang, the equipment of their troops is not as sophisticated as that of their Kagel Combat Division.
But because they have been fighting in mountains for a long time, their mountain warfare capabilities are not comparable to that of the Kagel Combat Division.
"Your tanks and armored vehicles are powerful, but they are also in the plains. If we go into the mountains, we still have to look at our second division and Lao Chen's fourth division." Ma Siyuan also said unceremoniously.
Chen Shiliang nodded and said: "Yes, I am not bragging, but your tanks and armored vehicles cannot enter the mountains. The cavalry troops are also exhausted when they reach the mountains. If we really want to fight with the devils in the mountainous terrain, we still have to rely on us in the mountains. He started out as a guerrilla."
A few people were bragging, and Xia Yang walked in and said, "Okay, stop bragging. Whether we can fight or not, we won't know until we fight against the little devil."
Seeing Xia Yang and Hao Shiwen walking in together, several people quickly stood up.
"Military seat, you are finally here." Chen Shiliang said.
Xia Yang glanced at a few people, and then said: "Several generals from the Eighth Route Army will come over soon. Be careful when you speak then."
"Don't worry, it's no problem. We will definitely maintain the good image of our Fourth Army." Chen Shiliang said.
Soon, all the commanders of the Eighth Route Army also walked in.
They are basically very familiar with the generals of the Fourth Army. For example, Li Yunlong and the others have fought alongside them for a long time.
After several people entered the headquarters, General Chen said: "Commander Xia, our headquarters agency has notified us to fully cooperate with your army in combat."
Xia Yang nodded and said: "With the help of your army, we can recover Shanxi just around the corner."
After saying this, he got down to the topic, looked at Hao Shiwen and said, "Counsel Hao, please give the friendly forces a briefing first and tell us about our military strength participating in the battle this time."
After hearing this, Hao Shiwen took out a stack of information and distributed it to the participating commanders.
The information above shows the armament status of the four armies.
This material is relatively transparent. Basically, the various combat readiness forces of the four armies are recorded in the material.
Of course, except for the ANBU, the intelligence department of the Fourth Army.
Hao Shiwen said at this time: "This information contains the power we will mobilize in this battle."
¡°The strength of the Kagel Combat Division has not been adjusted significantly, and it basically maintains its original size. Only two tank regiments and two motorized infantry regiments have been added.
But this force is mainly stationed in the Chahar area to contain the Japanese troops in the direction of Zhangjiakou. Will not be directly involved in this battle.
The focus of development is the combat strength of the Second Division and the Fourth Division. "Hao Shiwen said.
The Second Division was originally a mountain warfare division with certain artillery support and cavalry capabilities.
Time slowly came to May, and it was already the eve of the war.
Xia Yang and his troops, after half a year of preparation, are well-equipped. Not only has the equipment been updated a lot, but the weapons, ammunition, and various logistical support resources are also fully prepared.
In more than half a year, Xia Yang has made his army, from the original only mechanized force of the Kagel Combat Division, to semi-mechanized of the entire Fourth Army.
