    The Second Heavy Artillery Division was formed. Zhou Weiguo organized the last 800 artillerymen donated by the system into the Second Heavy Artillery Division.

    Starting from the next day, the commanders of each infantry division went back. At the same time, they also understood that this battle must be fought.  According to Zhou Weiguo's troop deployment order, they all understood that the ones they had to defend this time were the Japs in the direction of Hefei, and launched an attack in the directions of Xuyi and Chuzhou.

    After the division commanders of each infantry division returned, they began to train their troops desperately. The special equipment was their actual artillery regiment.

    Zhou Weiguo has already given artillery to them, and the artillery has been formed. However, it is still in training. As for whether it has combat effectiveness, no one knows.

    But it doesn¡¯t matter whether they had combat effectiveness before, but from now on, the commanders of each infantry division will start to personally capture the artillery when they return.  A large number of shells are fired every day due to training.

    Fortunately, roads have been under construction during this period. Although not all of them have been built yet, a large part of them has been built.  After all, we are not repairing each line one by one, but starting work on all lines at the same time.

    There is no shortage of artillery shells due to training. In addition, a large number of artillery shells have been stored before, and these artillery shells are completely sufficient.

    Du Qingming is still seizing the last time to run into the First Heavy Artillery Division, and after Huang Zhentao took over the new artillery and the system artillery provided by Zhou Weiguo, he also began to intensively train the Second Heavy Artillery Division.  He knew that this time the Eighty-Eighth Group Army launched a war against Xiaoguizi Xuyi and Chuzhou. If they wanted to defeat the Xiaoguizi division as quickly as possible, they would definitely use heavy artillery units.  This can be seen from the time when Zhou Weiguo began to form the Second Heavy Artillery Division.

    But fortunately there are 800 systems that provide artillery as a gift, otherwise the Second Heavy Artillery Division would not be able to pull up at all.

    As time goes by, airports are getting bigger and bigger.  The tower, ammunition depot, and oil depot have all been completely constructed.

    Even the hangar has been almost completed.

    Now an air force division¡¯s zero battle has been stationed at Huainan Airport, but there is still an air force regiment that has not been stationed. In addition, the Stuka dive bombers of any group have not yet been stationed.

    According to Zhou Weiguo¡¯s plan, any group of Stuka dive bombers will definitely be able to enter before February 3rd.

    By then, he will have the air force and heavy artillery to cover the ground troops' attack. He believes that with the absolute advantage, the Japs will never be his opponent

    January 28th, a flat training ground outside Huainan City.

    This training ground is different from other training grounds. Other training grounds are filled with infantry training, but this one is full of cars.

    Yes, Zhou Weiguo is training truck drivers now.

    As mentioned before, the Eighty-Eighth Group Army has high automatic firepower and has high logistics requirements. When each infantry company has eight mg34 general-purpose machine guns in service, the logistics requirements are even higher.

    In addition, if you want to attack the Japs in Xuyi and Chuzhou and eat them, the soldiers' physical strength must be preserved.  Otherwise, if you ask the soldiers to march on foot, when they arrive at the place, will they fight or rest?

    Therefore, the use of trucks to transport soldiers must be put on the agenda.

    Zhou Weiguo has considered this before, so Zhou Weiguo has recruited a large number of people for training.  Get ready to train them as truck drivers.  And now they are also undergoing driving training.

    "General, so far, we have trained more than 1,500 drivers, and they have been assigned to various infantry divisions.

    Now we still have two thousand drivers being trained here. In addition, each infantry division is also seizing the time to train drivers. The five infantry divisions combined, there are almost five thousand drivers being trained.  "

    He Yuchen followed Zhou Weiguo and said while looking at the training scene inside.

    Zhou Weiguo knows that training drivers in this era is not as troublesome as in later generations.  And it doesn¡¯t have to last as long as in later generations.

    There are no traffic lights in China in this era, let alone traffic laws.  As long as you can drive and drive normally, it's no problem.

    ¡°And the cars of this era are so simple. It only takes a week for a farmer to learn how to drive from not knowing how to drive.

    This is why Zhou Weiguo and the others were able to train so many drivers in such a short period of time.

    "Nine thousand trucks? Well! If they are all trained, the number will be enough. But we have to continue training! Our troops will expand sooner or later."?The mechanization and automation of our troops will also improve in the future.

    The result of this is that a large number of vehicles are needed to transport logistical supplies.  Now our army's semi-automatic rifles, general-purpose machine guns, heavy machine guns, artillery, etc. all require a large number of logistics vehicles to maintain logistics supplies!  "

    Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but shake his head when he said this, saying that the biggest enemy of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army now is not the Japs, but their own logistics supplies.

    With the comprehensive popularization of automatic firepower in the entire army, the firepower has been enhanced, but the logistics demand has also increased exponentially.

    In the past, if a soldier held a Mauser 98k and carried two to three hundred rounds of ammunition, he would have to fight for a long time.  But now?

    Once semi-automatic rifles become popular, one hundred rounds of ammunition will soon run out of time.  This thing consumes ammo too quickly.

    ?¡­

    In the next week, it can be said that the entire Eighty-Eighth Group Army is seizing the last moment to prepare.

    Those trained drivers began to drive trucks to transport various weapons and ammunition to the front in preparation for war.

    And those troops who are training can also be said to be undergoing final training.  The mg34 machine gunner is also taking the time to do the final familiarization.

    During this period, after Zhou Weiguo was issued mg34 machine guns, these machine guns were undergoing shooting training all day long.

    And those artillerymen are constantly training.  It was under such circumstances that the little devil's special high school class learned about these situations and immediately reported them to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters.

    Nanjing, Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters

    "Zhou Weiguo is training troops on a large scale?"

    Yan Junliu held a telegram in his hand, and in front of him stood the intelligence staff officer of the dispatched army headquarters.

    "Zuo Zuojun, what do you think of Zhou Weiguo's large-scale military training?"

    Sasaki Toichi, he is the intelligence staff officer at the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters and is in charge of intelligence matters.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
