Chapter 113 The First Snow Comes
Wang Yue stood at the window, looked at the heavy snow floating outside the window, and smiled and said, "The first snow this year has finally come."
Nearly two months have passed since the Pingfengshan Battle, and now it has entered mid-November. During this period, Wang Yue's advance troops have basically been in a state of silence. After the Pingfengshan Battle, Wang Yue finally learned from Saraki Hiroichi about Okamura's comprehensive "bandit suppression" campaign, and there is a mobile permanent division in Heijiang Province, which is gradually advancing in key areas and conducting a comprehensive sweep.
After learning the news, Wang Yue quickly gave up all the strongholds and bases, and allowed all the soldiers outside the First Battalion, Third Battalion and Cavalry Battalion to return to the Yalu Mountain Base. Even the passage from the Xing'an Mountains to Qianzhang Cliff had to be closed again, so that the entire Yalu Mountain Base was completely closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit, of course, except for a large number of spies sent out.
On the one hand, he took the initiative to block the base, and on the other hand, he sent out a sentry to wander between Nanlu Town and Yili City, closely monitoring the Japanese's clearance troops. Fortunately, Nanlu Town has never had any bandits. In addition, the existence of the industrial park has enabled Yalu Mountain Base to escape the Japanese's full swing without any danger.
However, although the base was blocked and most of the contact with the outside world was cut off, the internal construction of the Yalushan base did not slow down at all. Instead, due to the blockade, the construction of the base, the preparation and establishment of various units, and the training of the troops were completed more smoothly in all aspects.
In nearly two months, the Yalu Mountain Base and the Advance Army have undergone tremendous changes from the inside to the outside.
First of all, the external frameworks of the base's external projects, including various undercastles, bunkers, air raid shelters, military camps, military academies, military courtyards, training grounds, private houses and other ground projects, have basically been fully completed according to the drawings brought back by Wang Yue.
Especially worth mentioning the arsenal, the choice of the arsenal is the foot of Yalu Mountain. The main project is in the belly of the mountain, but the external project is not small, and the air defense requirements are extremely high. It is very difficult to complete the construction before the first snow comes.
Now the entire Yalu Mountain base is centered on Yalu Mountain. It extends more than ten kilometers to the depths of the Xing'an Mountains. Various buildings are basically hidden in the valleys. Under the sky and trees, even if the Japanese planes fly by, it is difficult to find such a large military base here.
Secondly, the construction of the advance army was basically completed in accordance with the previous requirements.
The first battalion, the second battalion, the third battalion, the cavalry battalion, and the four battalions have all completed expansion and training, and all implemented the 44 system. One battalion has four companies, one company has four platoons, one platoon has four squads, and one squad has 15 people. All of them are strengthened by the strengthening battalion (equivalent to a brigade of the Japanese and a B regiment of **), and each battalion has one thousand officers and soldiers.
The artillery battalion has also been expanded from less than 300 people before to 600 people, with six infantry runners and dozens of grenade launchers. In terms of the number of people, it has exceeded the Japanese artillery brigade and the highest artillery regiment. Of course, the firepower is inferior, mainly because there are no heavy artillery.
The security battalion was also successfully formed, including 100 poor-in-law veterans drawn from each battalion companies, more than 200 soldiers who were injured and retired on the battlefield, but still could serve as guards. More than 600 new recruits were recruited and a guard battalion of 1,000 people were formed. From the beginning of next year, the security battalion was fully responsible for the base's vigilance and public security management.
The special forces team, captain Mao Yongqing, also took advantage of the opportunity of blocking the base, and selected vanguards in the entire army, so that the special forces soldiers were expanded to 200. After the selection, he led his troops into the depths of the Xing'an Mountains to zip. Of course, he also had to carry out a task assigned by Wang Yue. He has not returned yet, but the heavy snow has fallen, so I think Mao Yongqing should have brought the team back.
At this point, the total number of advance troops was 4,800. If the security camp was added, Hu Dazhu's security team in the industrial park and Li Dawen recruited new recruits from Xiangyang Hotel in Yili City, the total number of advance troops would exceed 6,000, exceeding the size of a main force regiment and equivalent to the organization of an independent brigade.
In addition, the military academy has been basically completed, and the military academy classrooms and school buildings have been basically completed. Of course, everything is simple, but the houses have been built and the heating equipment inside has not been done well. However, you can take these things slowly, as long as you can attend classes.
The current main subjects of the military academy are: infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineering, logistics and other subjects. Of course, these teachings are theoretical courses, while in addition to infantry, other subjects are delegated to the corresponding units. After all, the base has not been built yet, and various training cannot be carried out.
The military academy personnel are mainly administrative personnel, instructor teams, officers and soldiers.
It is worth mentioning that Xu Nai has put in great enthusiasm and hard work in the preparation and establishment of the military academy, especially for the massive military textbooks and video courses provided by Wang Yue. Xu Nai has not forgotten to study hard while preparing.
"Master, Li Dawen's call." The voice of Mass interrupted Wang Yue's memory.
"Click on." Wang Yue replied.
Since the consuming two-point military merit value has been activated, the function of making long-distance calls can be directly in reality, Wang Yue rarely wants to save two-point military merit value, instead of consciously entering the system virtual space for calls. This is mainly too troublesome, and Wang Yue doesn't care about this small score now.
"Chief, the Qumu United team has set off from Yili City. Judging from the current situation, it should be heading towards Ice City." As soon as the call was connected, Li Dawen's voice came directly to Wang Yue's mind, and the scene of Li Dawen holding the walkie-talkie also appeared at the same time.
"Oh, that's really great. Let's keep an eye on me and make sure they all left Yili City. Do you understand?" Wang Yue replied.
"Yes, Chief."
After Wang Yue finished his call with Li Dawen, he shouted to the newly appointed guard and secretary outside the door: "Xiao Cheng, go and notify Mr. Li, Uncle De, Xu Nai, Wang Qi, Su Renfei, Zhou Xiong, and Qin Wu, and let them go to the command office for a meeting in half an hour."
"Yes, Chief."
Half an hour later, the command office.
"Damn, the birds are almost fading out in the past two months. When will these Japanese devils leave?" Zhou Xiong cursed as soon as he entered the command center office.
"Haha, who said no? If you practice guns and targets, you have to run to Cangshan Valley ten miles away. The key is that you are not allowed to ride a horse. Isn't this suffocating person to death?" Su Renfei replied with a smile.
Nearly two months ago, the entire advance army was trapped in the Yalu Mountain base. It really made everyone feel bad, especially these militants, who were forced to study and train new recruits every day. However, it was difficult for these rude men to do this group of rude men.
"You guys, it's true that they are studying hard with Principal Xu. They are rushing around every day, and it's rare to have such a good opportunity. They don't know how to calm down and study hard and replenish their brains." Wang Yue cursed with a smile.
"Brother Rufeng, this is incomparable. They have followed you a long time ago and learned a lot of things. I'm late. There's no way, I can't help it." Xu Nai smiled. After two months of getting along, Xu Nai has completely integrated into the Yalu Mountain base and the advance army. Not only Xu Nai, but also his subordinates have been completely assimilated.
"I said Rufeng, I'm asking everyone to come so quickly. Is there any good news?" Li Maogong and Mao Erde asked with a smile after coming in through the gate together.
"You can't hide anything from Mr. Li. It's really good to ask everyone to come for a meeting." Wang Yue smiled and continued: "June Xiong and Renfei were still complaining that they were suffocated to death. Now I tell you that you are free, haha."
"real?"
"So that's the Qumu United team has left?"
"That's great, haha."
The Qumu Regiment is the mobile corps responsible for the suppression of bandits in Yili City, pushing the entire Yili City. Except for the bandits in the entire Yili City under Wang Yue's troops, the Volunteer Army was almost plowed. Now that the Qumu Regiment has finally left, it means that the Japanese's "bandit suppression" campaign has come to an end.
"Haha, I think you're so happy. Qumu United's departure is basically a foregone conclusion. It should be confirmed in a few hours. Let's start tomorrow to work according to the plan." Wang Yue said with a smile.
After two months of being stuck in the base, Wang Yue and several senior executives of the advance army had already discussed the plan after the Japanese left. In fact, it was not a plan. Basically, it was just to go back to occupy the strongholds and bases they had attacked before. Now, in addition to Wuyiling, there are bandits who surrendered to the Japanese, they are basically in a state of emptiness.
Of course, it is not just about occupying it. It also requires construction and consolidation of the strongholds and bases. Of course, after they arrive, Wang Yue will directly use the void teleportation skill to directly transmit everything needed.
The most important part of the plan is to start to recruit soldiers in the radiation areas of the stronghold or base (of course it is impossible to tell them clearly, just secretly guide them), and to rescue some needy households and hungry people, etc.
"Chief, should our second battalion be divided into one or two strongholds?" As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, Qin Wu quickly put forward his opinions.
"Haha, Lao Qin, what if I waited for me to take down Wuyiling and give you Mengliangshan and Qianzhang Cliff?" Zhou Xiong said with a smile.
According to the previous plan, the three major bases, Yalu Mountain is the headquarters, Pingfeng Mountain is the first battalion. Although Wuyiling has not been taken down, it has been ordered to the third battalion.
There are seven strongholds, Qinghe belongs to the first battalion, Liukesong and Kunlun Mountain belongs to the cavalry camp, and the remaining Mengliang Mountains, Qianzhang Cliff, Baoquanling and Wangtang River belong to the third battalion. Because the second battalion is a newly formed new recruit, it is indeed not assigned to a single place.
"Don't worry, I have already chosen the battlefield for you in the Second Battalion. When Mao Yongqing's special forces come back, I will tell you when the time comes. Now all you have to do is to train these recruits for me. Do you understand?" Wang Yue smiled.
Mao Yongqing took the new soldiers of the special forces zipper, and the task he had to complete was to follow the map sign given by Wang Yue, along the southwest edge of the Xing'an Mountains, pass through the Liukesong and Kunlun Mountain strongholds, enter Kexun County and Sunwu County in Heihei Market, find suitable bases or strongholds, and let the Second Battalion go to occupy and develop its power, especially Kexun County, which has the largest iron ore in Heijiang Province, which is quite tempting for Wang Yue.
"yes."
"Principal Xu, although the military academy is still invented now, it now has more than ten instructors and more than two hundred officers and cadets. In addition to attending classes, we will also find something for them. What do you think?" Wang Yue smiled at Xu Nai after giving the order.
"If you have anything to do, just tell me to complete the task." Xu Nai replied with a smile.
When he first entered the advance army, Xu Nai did not let his battalion take charge. He felt a little different. However, after getting the job of preparing for a military academy, he was exposed to so much advanced military knowledge, and finally taking on the position of vice principal of the military academy, Xu Nai no longer complained.
"That's right, the 1,2,3rd Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion are about to be opened and stationed in other places, so our base will have a large number of military camps, so we can recruit a large number of soldiers again." Wang Yue smiled and continued: "I hope the military academy will set up a recruit training camp to be responsible for training recruits."
"It's good, the base facilities are relatively complete. When we recruit soldiers outside, we will send them to the base directly. When the recruits are trained, we will just replenish them among our troops. This recruit training camp is very good." Zhou Xiong responded first.
Wang Yue's idea was like the field army. Each battalion was like a field army, fighting outside to capture prisoners, and going deep into the poor people to recruit soldiers and horses. After that, they sent these people to the base, and trained the recruits from the base's recruit training camp, and then gave them back to each other, thus forming a virtuous cycle and truly looked like a regular army.
"I think it's OK. Anyway, the military academy's officers still need several months to study, so it's just enough for us to train new recruits in our spare time. It's great."
"I agree, too."
Wang Yue and Zhou Xiong's opinions were quickly agreed upon by everyone, and finally unanimously passed the resolution.
"I'll tell you here first. When Zhou Xiong takes down Wuyiling, I'll go to Yanjing and Shanghu. If anything happens to the base, it will be the responsibility of Mr. Li and Uncle De." Wang Yue pointed out before the meeting.
More than two months have passed since Wang Yue returned from Shangshanghai. Mao Pengyuan and his younger brothers have won a large number of talents in Shangshanghai, including several Soviet and Russian arms experts. Wang Yue couldn't wait to bring those people back. If Qumu United had not been back again, Wang Yue would have gone to Shangshanghai.
In addition, the weapons and equipment of the two regiments ordered by Wang Yue, American lust merchants Bob White and German lust merchants, as well as a large amount of high-quality steel, copper, gunpowder, saltpeter and other military supplies have also arrived in Shanghai, and Wang Yue is waiting for him to go and extract it in person.
