As time passed day by day, batches of prisoners were constantly escorted to the Yalu Mountain Base, and there were also craftsmen and young laborers recruited from outside. They were also secretly sent to the Yalu Mountain Base with their families. In less than a week, the population of the Yalu Mountain Base exceeded 10,000.

As these two batches of manpower continue to be replenished into the base's vigorous construction, the Yalushan base has changed almost every day, with bunkers, solid fortifications, houses, and factories rising from the ground, and facilities are constantly being improved. The scope of the Yalushan base continues to extend to the depths of the Xing'an Mountains.

The sharp increase in population, the expansion of the scope of the Yalu Mountain Base, and the increase in captivity caused the defensive forces of the Yalu Mountain Base to begin to capture shoulders and elbows. Wang Yue had to recruit new recruits and expand his troops among the young and strong laborers he recruited.

Fortunately, the base of young and strong labor recruited from outside this time reached more than 2,000, and there were no more young people coming in with their families. The recruitment went smoothly. 800 people were recruited at one time, directly filling the vacancy of the Second Battalion. So far, the total strength of the advance army reached more than 2,600.

Command, office.

"The recruitment of troops in the Second Battalion went smoothly, but what do you think of the battalion commander of the Second Battalion, Mr. Li, Uncle De?" Wang Yue asked.

"Now, the first battalion, the third battalion, the cavalry battalion, and the special forces, most of them are still fighting outside, or are cleaning up the remaining bandits near the new stronghold. There are only three of us left here. The only one with some qualifications is Wang Chuan, the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion." Li Maogong smiled.

"Mr. Li, why did you dig up the artillery battalion in the corner? My battalion commander is just famous. Wang Chuan will be straightened sooner or later. And as Wuyiling and Pingfengshan battle is about to begin. Wang Chuan is going to lead his troops to fight, so where can I get the time to train new recruits?" Mao Erde hurriedly denied. After all, Mao Erde's main responsibility is still the logistics, and the artillery battalion will indeed be handed over sooner or later.

"Haha, that's all I said. It's so urgent." Li Maogong joked and sighed again: "Rufeng, our troops have been expanded too quickly and there are serious lack of officers. This is a problem."

This is true. The advance army started with a special forces of ten people. It has only been more than three months since then, and now it has reached a regular regiment. Most of the officers in the army are from peasants and bandits. Although they are constantly literate and conduct some military education after entering the base, officers are officers after all. They cannot be trained through short-term cramming education.

In a word, it is that the advance army lacks foundation.

"Let's do this, let's not mention the issue of officers in the Second Battalion. Today, there are more than 100 soldiers escorting prisoners from the First Battalion, Third Battalion and Cavalry Battalion. They are temporarily left to serve as coaches and train recruits. The base's warning will be temporarily handed over to your artillery battalion during the day, and the coach of the Second Battalion will take the recruits to be responsible at night." Wang Yue said helplessly.

"I think it's OK. There are so many cameras installed around our base, so the alert force is enough. Moreover, the recruits are basically brought by their families, so they shouldn't do anything to escape." Li Maogong echoed.

"Then let's do it this way. Even if you participate in the war, the artillery battalion will not need to set off. I think at most, just drag the two infantry artillery over. One platoon of soldiers is enough." Mao Erde also said.

"Then it's settled." Wang Yue decided on the universe and then continued: "Then let's talk about Pingfeng Mountain and Wuyiling,..."

A week passed. The three battalion-level combat units sent by the advance army had basically achieved the established combat goals.

The troops of Wang Qi from the first battalion took the Qinghe stronghold and cleared the so-called volunteers from the Yalu Mountain base, to the Qinghe stronghold, and then to Pingfeng Mountain. Within nearly dozens of kilometers along the way, more than 300 bandits were killed and more than 600 bandits were captured. At present, only the so-called volunteer army in Pingfeng Mountain was left.

The troops of Zhou Xiong, the third battalion, had the most beautiful record. The No. 2 stronghold Mengliangshan, the No. 3 stronghold Wangtanghe, and No. 4 stronghold Baoquanling, all three strongholds were captured. In addition, within nearly 100 kilometers of the way, nearly 30 bandits of all sizes were cleared, killing less than 100 bandits, and capturing nearly 1,000 bandits. They have arrived at the periphery of Wuyiling and can launch an attack at any time.

The cavalry company Su Renfei's troops fought the most fiercely and suffered the most casualties, but there was nothing we could do. After all, this was the first battle after the establishment of the cavalry company, and the number of troops was the least. Although when attacking the No. 7 stronghold, the opponent's horse bandits were careless, the battle was relatively smooth.

However, when attacking Kunlun Mountain, No. 6, it paid a considerable price. After all, the cavalry company attacked the mountain was not what they were good at. In that battle, if Wang Yue had not seen the battle situation too fierce and was worried that the cavalry would suffer too much, and then flew to the scene to join the battle group in time, I am afraid that the cavalry company would suffer little even if it was successful.

So far, the cavalry company has not completed the task of clearing the bandits along the way from Yalu Base to No. 6 and No. 7 strongholds. Instead, more than ten major and small battles have been fought. The cavalry company itself sacrificed almost 10% of the soldiers, and 20% of the soldiers have become wounded and cannot participate in the war. The record is barely enough, killing more than 400 bandits and capturing more than 100 people.

No matter what, within a week, Wang Yue was basically satisfied with the combat mission by sweeping the holes from three directions with thunder. Of course, this is also the first time that Wang Yue could get the sweetness of military merit points by not doing much effort.

In the clearing of bandits this week, Wang Yue's points rose sharply. The cumulative points have exceeded 2,000 points, reaching 2,081 points, and the available points have also reached 1,334 points. This has made a net profit of more than 700 points this week, which is mainly due to Wang Yue's 100-ranked confidant generals on the list.

So at present, the settlement plan for the three major bases and seven major bases after Wang Yue’s return this time is left with Wuyiling and Pingfengshan, two future two major bases.

"The situation in Wuyiling is relatively easy to deal with. The special forces team led by Mao Yongqing has basically figured out the situation there, and it has also confirmed that the bandits in Wuyiling have secretly colluded with the Japanese, so there is basically no need to think too much, there is only one word, typing." Wang Yue added.

"Well, there should be no big problem with the special forces to cooperate with the Third Battalion. The only thing that needs special attention is the movements of the Japanese devils in Yinjia County. After all, the Third Battalion has recently seized so many bandits there. It is impossible to say that the Japanese devils have not received any news." Li Maogong said seriously.

"We can only remind them to pay close attention to the situation in Yinjia County. By the way, if we attack Wuyiling, how many troops can the Third Battalion be used?" Mao Erde asked. Recently, Mao Erde was mainly coordinating the construction of the base and was not very familiar with the situation of several combat troops.

"There are less than 400 people in the two and a half, and the number of bandits in Wuyiling is not much different." Wang Yue replied.

After the third battalion replenished the new recruits, the total force reached 657, but Zhou Xiong sent a platoon of troops to garrison in Qianzhang Cliff, Mengliang Mountain, Baoquanling, and Wangtang River. At these four strongholds, Zhou Xiong all sent a platoon of troops to garrison. Of course, the ones who went to Wuyiling to participate in the battle were basically veterans of the Third Company.

"There is nothing to say about Wuyiling. Just let Zhou Xiong and Mao Yongqing decide on their own and fight. I have no other objection." Mao Erdedao.

"I'll discuss it." Li Maogongdao.

"Then let's talk about Pingfeng Mountain." Wang Yue then sighed and said, "The matter in Pingfeng Mountain is a bit tricky. They are all arrogant soldiers and veterans who have fought with the Japanese for half a year. By the way, Wang Qi has sent someone to lobby, but they have been bombarded out."

"It would be great if we could be incorporated. If these people join our advance army, then our grassroots officers will be settled." Mao Erde also sighed.

"I think this battle must be fought, and it is best to be able to defeat them. Otherwise, even if they join our advance army, it may not be a good thing." Li Maogong put forward different opinions.

"Oh, can they still proclaim their troops to seize the leader?" Mao Erde said in confusion.

"Well, Mr. Li is right, and this possibility is not excluded. Their current boss is a major commander of the former Northeast Army garrison, named Xu Nai. He is said to be from the Northeast Military Academy. He was formerly from Yu Zhaolin's heart of the 17th Brigade of the Northeast Army. After 9*1*8, this guy was unwilling to leave Heijiang Province. In the end, he did not evacuate. He led more than a thousand subordinates to resist the Japanese. He was eventually driven away by the Japanese in Pingfeng Mountain area for half a year. It is said that this man is proud and dared to stare at his old commander Yu Zhaolin." Wang Yue added.

"What else do you want to say? Just fight them until you defeat them. Damn, you even rebel against him. How dare you proclaim your troops to seize the leader?" Mao Erde shouted immediately.

Although the advance army belonged to Wang Yue, Mao Erde also devoted all his efforts. More importantly, it also carries the future and hope of the entire Da'antun. To put it far, this may be the hope of China in the future. Whoever dares to covet it, Mao Erde is the first to refuse to agree.

"Since the three of us have a unified opinion, we will fight first. In addition, Pingfeng Mountain is in a dangerous terrain, and the artillery battalion will also participate in the war. I will lead the team to go there in person." Wang Yue thought for a while.

"Haha, okay, that boy Wang Chuan has been talking in my ears lately, and he is almost calling out from his mouth." Mao Erde smiled.

"Rufeng, why don't I go with you too." Li Maogong thought and asked.

"Okay, then let's set off early tomorrow morning and head to the Qinghe stronghold first." Wang Yue thought about it and agreed. Wang Yue could naturally understand the reason for the purpose of Li Maogong's trip.
Chapter completed!
