    "The artillery did not train on its own. I heard from Commander Sun of the 133rd Division that when the Eighty-Eighth Group Army was first established, there was an even greater shortage of artillery, and every infantry regiment was training artillery like crazy.

    Commander Du Qingming of the 1st Heavy Artillery Division once trained his troops in the rain in order to train artillery.

    What are you calling for when you come to me?  Neither did the calling.  You used to clamor for artillery, but now the main seat is allotted to you, and you are here to clamor for it again!  "

    Zhang Xingchen glared, and Huang Weigang shrank his neck, yes!  Big Brother is angry, it seems the artillerymen have to go train on their own.

    "Master, I heard two days ago that there are thousands of artillery troops training in the east of the city. Do you think they are equipped for us?"

    Tong Zeguang asked from the side.

    "No! I heard Minister Liu say about this that there are 8,000 artillery troops there, which are prepared to form the Third Heavy Artillery Division and other new divisions."

    Zhang Xingchen shook his head and said, now the entire Huainan has become a huge military camp.

    At present, Liu Zhihui has recruited 160,000 new soldiers and is still recruiting new soldiers. He plans to recruit 200,000 new soldiers before stopping. This is only the field infantry recruited.

    It is said that artillery troops, logistics troops, etc. are being recruited.  A total of about 230,000 people will be recruited.

    Zhang Xingchen didn’t know the specifics. He could only lament that the Eighty-Eighth Group Army grew up in the flames of war.

    These guys in the new military camp, even though they are new recruits now, as long as they are dragged to the battlefield and fought a few times, they will become elite veterans.

    "Reporter, Minister Liu is here to meet you!"

    At this moment, a guard came in and looked at Zhang Xinchen and said, and then Zhang Xinchen's chief of staff Li Wentian also walked in.

    "Master, Logistics Director Liu Zhihui is already waiting for you in the side hall. He said he has something to ask you!"

    Li Wentian walked in and said.

    "Okay! You two go down to train the troops first!"

    After Zhang Xingchen finished speaking, he walked towards the side hall.

    "Does Minister Liu come to see me for something?"

    Zhang Xingchen walked in and asked directly. He is not good at being polite to others, and he doesn't like to be polite.  This can also be said to be a habit he has developed over many years in the army!

    Liu Zhihui put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Zhang Xinchen who walked in and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Zhang encountered some trouble here, so I came here specially!"

    Liu Zhihui came here to help Zhang Xingchen solve his problem.

    "trouble?"

    Zhang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

    Now there are two main troubles for his Second Infantry Division. The first one is the artillery problem.

    The second problem is the driver.  After all, all the Eighty-eighth Army must be equipped with armored personnel carriers, and his previous Fifty-ninth Army did not have such equipment.

    "But the driver is easy to handle, and he can start working after a few days of training.

    But artillery is a branch that requires a long period of training and is fed with countless artillery shells, so this is the biggest trouble for the Second Infantry Division now.

    "And if Liu Zhihui, the major general and logistics director, can come in person, it must be an artillery issue.

    Artillery is an important component of the Eighty-Eighth Group Army.

    "Does Minister Liu mean that the artillery problem of our Second Division can be solved?"

    "That's right! But before talking about this matter, you should read this telegram first!"

    Liu Zhihui took out a telegram from his jacket pocket, a telegram from Zhou Weiguo.

    Zhang Xingchen understood after receiving the telegram and reading it for more than ten seconds.

    "Is the situation on the frontline really so urgent?"

    Zhang Xingchen asked after putting down the telegram.

    During this period, he has been reorganizing troops in Huainan and does not know much about the front line.

    "That's right! Just today, the second brother has launched a new round of attack on the Japanese army. Currently, the four divisions of the little devil are under attack from us.

    But it will take time for us to kill these four divisions of the Little Japanese. In addition, the Little Japanese still has two divisions in Nanjing and Jurong.  Moreover, the little devils also mobilized more than 20,000 troops from Shanghai and other places.

    The second brother was afraid that the war would drag on for too long and that reinforcements from their country would arrive.  Therefore, we decided to capture Nanjing before the end of May.  There is an urgent shortage of combat troops on the front line.

    At present, you are the only one of our Eighty-Eighth Group Army who can be mobilized to the front line in a short period of timeEvery day, our group lost almost a quarter of its members!  "

    Zhang Dabiao said quickly.

    "Is the attrition so serious?"

    Li Yunlong squinted his eyes and turned to look at Zhang Dabiao.

    "Our soldiers are all new recruits, going to the battlefield for the first time. It's good to have this performance. But after today's battle, these problems will not occur tomorrow!"

    Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but explain when he saw Li Yunlong's eyes.

    "I know! It's just that I feel bad! If these casualties had been left in the past, they would have been the majority of a regiment's troops."

    "But our results today are not bad. Today, we killed more than 2,000 Japs in one regiment, the strength of two brigades, and also killed a Japs captain!"

    Li Yunlong shook his head: "Da Biao, you kid, please be more open-minded. Today we were bombarded by artillery and bombed by planes. More than five hundred people were killed. Tomorrow, you kid, you have to take care of me.  I need to save some face. This is my first battle, Lao Li, and I can’t make a mistake no matter what."

    "Yes! Captain, please rest assured, we will fight well!"

    "Well! Go down! Carry all the injured brothers down and send them to the field hospital!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
