Chapter 37 The Eve of the Great War
The second update today is, please collect it and recommend it.
....................................
It has been the end of June, and more than a month has passed since the last military parade. At present, the situation of the domestic anti-Japanese war has undergone great changes.
The Battle of Xuzhou ended at the end of May, and the final result was that the ** defeat, the Japanese had occupied Xuzhou, and the two occupied areas of North China and Central China were connected.
After the Battle of Xuzhou, most of China fell into the enemy. Six divisions of the Japanese North China Front Army had moved south from Xuzhou, and five divisions of the Japanese Central China Front Army continued to advance west along the Yangtze River. At present, the 11th Japanese divisions totaled more than 300,000 people, and under the cover of aircraft and cannons, they were advancing all the way.
By the end of June, the Japanese army had occupied Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi, and formed a siege of Hubei and Hunan. Seeing that the time was ripe, the Japanese base camp ordered the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army to jointly fight, quickly occupy Hubei and Hunan, trying to defeat the last resistance of the Chinese government and quickly destroy China.
Under the command of Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth War Zone, Chen Cheng, commander of the Ninth War Zone, the more than one million troops formed a strategic confrontation with more than 300,000 Japanese troops, and a great war was about to break out.
This is a little different from history. Originally, the strategic decisive battle between the Central China Front Army and the *** has become a joint combat between the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army, and a strategic decisive battle between the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army.
History has changed, and I wonder if the final result will continue to develop in the original development direction of history?
In Xin'an County, Zhang Yunfei's base is developing rapidly, and the cement plant and steel plant are about to be completed and put into production. The second batch of nearly 2,000 Jews have arrived at the base, most of which are technical workers, technical engineers and a small number of experts. These people, under Zhang Yunfei's high salary, have devoted themselves to the construction of the base with great enthusiasm.
The machinery factory has been built, and some ordinary equipment in the arsenal, such as lathes, grinders, milling machines, drilling machines, etc. have been moved into the machinery factory. In the future, the machinery equipment factory will undertake the manufacturing of mechanical equipment, such as various machine tools, large forging machines required for manufacturing heavy artillery.
In addition to Jews, William's company has also dug up a large number of talents from all over the country, most of whom are graduated college students, and a small number are skilled workers.
Zhang Yunfei's troops have expanded another infantry regiment, and currently reaching four infantry regiments and artillery regiments, with more than 13,000 people. Infantry Regiment 1 and infantry regiments have been replaced, and the weapons have been replaced from 38 large covers to AK-47 automatic rifles.
During this period, the base area was not smooth. Japanese reconnaissance planes came from time to time, and Japanese reconnaissance aircraft strengthened their investigation of the entire base area.
In the past month, Zhang Yunfei finally successfully pushed Jiang Xiaoying. As long as the military affairs are not very busy, there are always two beauties around Zhang Yunfei.
The special forces members who were scattering outside to investigate the enemy situation also sent back a large amount of information. At present, the Japanese are eyeing the entire base, and the Japanese are also ready to move. Moreover, the newly formed Fifth Division of the Japanese army has been stationed in Zhangjiakou, and a local war is about to break out.
What Zhang Yunfei is happy about is that the small-caliber anti-aircraft gun he eagerly hoped for was already manufactured a week ago, and a total of four small-caliber anti-aircraft guns were manufactured. After the test firing, Zhang Yunfei was very satisfied with the performance.
This small-caliber anti-aircraft gun is a two-connected 30 mm anti-aircraft gun with an effective shooting height of 5,000 meters. It uses a chain of ammunition to supply ammunition. It has a shooting speed of 120 rounds per minute and weighs 300 kilograms. It is heavier than the Type 92 infantry gun. Two wheels are installed under the gun mount, so it can be dragged forward by horses.
Originally, the weight was not so bulky. For safety reasons, Zhang Yunfei asked Toms to design a ten-mm thick baffle that could block the strafing of large-caliber heavy machine guns, which greatly improved the survivability of anti-aircraft gunners.
There are also two types of anti-aircraft gun shells, one is high-explosive bomb, and the other is armor-piercing bomb. It is also equipped with an optical scope, which greatly improves the shooting accuracy.

In Peking, the North China Front Army Command, General Soichi Tezuo was holding a military meeting. The small conference room was filled with Japanese devils at the level of the General. The meeting was mainly about Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division.
After frequent reconnaissances some time ago, the Japanese believed that they had mastered the situation of Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division, so the Japanese were preparing to mobilize heavy troops to invade the base area of Xin'an County.
Looking at the dozens of Japanese officers sitting straight, Soichi Tezu nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "Everyone, Zhang Yunfei and his special forces, who have repeatedly shamed the North China Front Army, are in Xin'an County. The Fifth Division has now entered Zhangjiakou. We have enough troops to wipe out Zhang Yunfei's special forces and his 136th Division."
Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe said worriedly: "Commander, the Fifth Division was reorganized, with many new recruits and has not yet formed combat power. I think..."
Teraunuchi interrupted Naosaburo Okabe impatiently and said, "Okabe, the Fifth Division has more than 20,000 imperial warriors. Can't you beat a division from the Eighth Route Army?"
In fact, the Japanese were still very powerful in the two years before the War of Resistance Against Japan. A division of more than 20,000 people could fight several Kuomintang armies, and the casualties ratio in various major battles was far smaller than that in **. This led to the Japanese soldiers and senior generals of the Japanese, who were all very arrogant and generally did not take the Chinese team seriously.
In the eyes of Souchi Seunai, a division of more than 20,000 people were used to fight a newly established division of the Eighth Route Army, which was a slaughter.
Other officers of the Japanese general level, when they saw the Chief of Staff’s concerns, they also sneered at it, thinking that it was too much of a problem. Several colonels even thought that sending their own corps to defeat Zhang Yunfei’s 136th Division.
In order to make a quick battle, Soichi Teideuchi decided to use the First Infantry Brigade stationed in Datong and the Fifth Division in Zhangjiakou to attack the 136th Division from east to west, and strive to end the battle in the shortest time.
At present, the Wuhan battle is about to break out, and Soichi Tezunai doesn't have so much energy to command such a local war. His focus should be on commanding the Wuhan battle participated by the North China Front Army.
Shouchi Nai looked at the Japanese officer sitting majesticly and said seriously: "Order, the Fifth Division will assemble immediately, and advance westward one day to attack the Xin'an County base of the 136th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
The order was to assemble immediately in Datong's First Infantry Brigade stationed in Datong, and advance westward three days later, and attack the 136th Division of the Eighth Route Army with the Fifth Division east and west."
Hearing the commander's order, all the Japanese officers sitting in the seat stood up, stood up with their feet at the right moment and bent down to ninety degrees, and said together: "Hi."
....................................................................................
The following large-scale assembly of the Japanese troops failed to hide the special forces members responsible for the investigation in Datong and Zhangjiakou, and immediately sent this situation to Zhang Yunfei on the radio.
When Zhang Yunfei saw the telegram, he walked alone to the huge sand table in the center of the command center's combat hall. He looked at the sand table for a long time, and then gestured at Datong, Zhangjiakou, and then frowned again, thinking for a long time.
It seems that the Japanese can't help but want to invade the base on a large scale. Since you are seeking death by yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless, Zhang Yunfei thought in his heart.
