    After receiving the order to change defenses, all the troops of the Fourth Army in northern Henan and southern Shanxi were transferred to the interior of Shanxi.

    Overnight, all the troops stationed on the periphery of the Fourth Army withdrew.

    The troops stationed here to replace them are the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

    Now, these 8th Route Army can be said to be replacing guns with guns.

    The victory in the North China Campaign basically allowed them to equip themselves with new equipment.

    Among them, the vast majority of Eighth Route Army soldiers are equipped with Japanese weapons and equipment.

    There are also some weapons such as rifles, light machine guns, and mortars, which are manufactured by arsenals affiliated to the Fourth Army.

    The performance of these weapons fully meets their standards.

    Even, to a certain extent, the performance of the weapons produced by these Fourth Army arsenals is better than that of the 38 Gai.

    Because the penetration power of the 38-meter cap is very strong, but its lethality is not very large.

    On the contrary, the weapons and equipment provided by the Fourth Army to the Eighth Route Army are not only very penetrating, but also very lethal.

    Basically, it can be compared with the Soviet Mosingana rifle and the German Mauser rifle.

    This is due to Xia Yang, who provided these arsenals with advanced production technology.

    ¡° These include many weapons manufacturing technologies that will be developed in later generations, as well as processing technologies for key materials such as steel.

    Relatively speaking, these cutting-edge process technologies can help these weapons achieve more performance improvements and stability during manufacturing.

    The Eighth Route Army troops that changed defenses had a total strength of three divisions.

    Of course, when they declared it to the outside world, they said there were only three brigades.

    But the total strength of these so-called three brigades has exceeded 200,000.

    Not only that, they also established base areas in areas close to the defense line to consolidate their rear.

    ??If there is a large-scale frontal conflict with the national army, even the front line of defense has suffered a violent attack.

    They can also rely on the rear to carry out guerrilla warfare and roundabout operations, exchanging space distance for time.

    In the southwestern part of Shanxi, near Zhongtiao Mountain, a brigade of the Eighth Route Army found out a piece of news just after it was stationed here.

    That is the Shanxi-Sui Army led by Chief Yan, which has set off from Xi'an and begun to advance towards Shanxi.

    This time, the Jinsui Army dispatched a total of 300,000 people to take over the defense of Shanxi.

    Although Xia Yang¡¯s consent was not obtained for the Jinsui Army to take over the defense, Chief Yan had already sent a telegram to the Chairman.

    The chairman's attitude was very ambiguous. He did not reject Yan Xishan's request, but he did not clearly agree.

    Instead, he replied directly - negotiate.

    With the phrase ¡°negotiation,¡± there is much more room for discussion between the two parties.

    And Yan Xishan expected that Xia Yang's army would not dare to have a large-scale conflict with him head-on.

    Then he started to move his troops with great enthusiasm.  Heading towards Shanxi region.

    At the same time, he also mobilized the Jinsui Army troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area to go to the southern part of Shanxi to reconnoiter the defense of the Fourth Army.

    If the Fourth Army really does not intend to let them enter the Shanxi area, then they must be prepared for any large-scale conflict once it occurs.

    The main force stationed in the southern part of Shanxi is General Chen's brigade.

    There are several commanders of the troops who are old friends of Xia Yang and old friends of the Fourth Army.

    For example, Li Yunlong¡¯s independent group, Kong Jie¡¯s new group, and Ding Wei¡¯s new group.

    These three troops performed very prominently in the North China Campaign.

    At the same time, a large number of Japanese troops were wiped out, and Li Yunlong took advantage of this battle to greatly expand the strength of his troops.

    Except when Li Yunlong's independent regiment lost a lot of troops when fighting in the northern Henan region, at other times, he was seizing every moment to expand his power.

    Uh. In just a few months, Li Yunlong's independent group has expanded from more than 10,000 people to 30,000 people.

    Although it is said that it is still a regiment, in fact, the strength of the troops he has on hand is already comparable to that of the national army.An editor.

    Not only that, many of these soldiers are also equipped with sophisticated weapons.

    Most of the weapons were captured by the Japanese army.

    There are also some weapons given to them by the 4th Army, such as rocket launchers and flamethrowers.

    General Chen also knows that Li Yunlong is not someone to be trifled with.

    Therefore, he directly deployed the troops of Li Yunlong's independent regiment at the front.

    This became the first gate to block the Shanxi-Sui Army of Yanxi from entering Shanxi.

    ??Suppose Yan Xishan wants his troops to enter Shanxi.

    ??Then Li Yunlong¡¯s independent group is the first level he needs enough.

    "On the flanks of Li Yunlong's troops are the troops of Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

    Although their expansion of strength is not as terrifying as Li Yunlong's, during this period, they also recruited troops extensively in North China.

    In more than two months, their army has expanded to more than 20,000 people.

    And it¡¯s almost done, all combatants are issued guns.

    ??This is something that many of the elite troops of the national army cannot even do.

    Because of the support of the Fourth Army and the large capture of Japanese weapons, these main forces of the Eighth Route Army can really be described as rich and flowing.

    Li Yunlong, an upstart, even organized an artillery battalion of his own.

    This is because General Chen directly confiscated many of the artillery he captured.

    Otherwise, Li Yunlong even plans to form three artillery battalions.

    In this way, the frontal firepower can even be equal to that of the national army.

    If there is a real conflict with the Nationalist Army, these weapons of his can fight against the little devils, and naturally they can also fight against these Kuomintang reactionaries.

    In addition to the artillery battalion, Li Yunlong also formed some new troops based on his original troops, including intelligence troops and truck transportation troops.

    On the one hand, it is to ensure the acquisition of battlefield intelligence, and on the other hand, it is to ensure logistics supply.

    They even set up a large-scale field hospital to provide medical services to their soldiers.

    Of course, when reporting troops to superiors, he was always secretive.

    There are many things that I don¡¯t dare to report to the police.

    Because he knew that according to the brigade commander¡¯s character, he was like a wild goose plucking his hair.

    If he wants to expose all his family background.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
