Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

In the next few days.

The situation near Laiyang County has indeed become tense and strange.

The Seventh Field Brigade of the Japanese was not in a hurry to attack. It was like a tiger lying dormant in Laiyang County.

At the same time.

Whether it was Lu Zhixian, Chu Yunfei or the Eighth Route Army, they had caught a lot of Japanese spies.

This made everyone alert and dared not relax at all.

After all, Chu Yunfei was a military talent from Huangpu. He knew that the Japanese must be coming for their 358th Regiment. Although he was cursing in anger, his hands did not stop. On the one hand, he continued to send a large number of scouts out, and on the other hand, he was actively preparing for war, at least not to be attacked by surprise.

As for Heiyun Village, it was also actively preparing for war.

For several consecutive days.

The whole regiment was stepping up training.

Shooting.

Throwing.

Bombardment.

Various direct and effective projects were launched one after another, and the quality of the new recruits who had just joined the army was also rapidly improved.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Loud noises were heard from somewhere in the back mountain from time to time.

There were both trainings of the heavy artillery battalion and live ammunition bombardments of the light artillery battalion.

"Captain!"

Wei Dayong followed Lu Zhixian and said with admiration: "Captain Wang, who you traded from the Eighth Route Army, is really good at artillery fire! I just watched him instruct the brothers in the light artillery battalion in training. Almost every shell could hit the target at will. This level is almost on par with Captain Yang!"

"Of course!"

Lu Zhixian smiled and nodded.

"Captain!"

At this moment, Wang Chengzhu noticed that Lu Zhixian had arrived here. He put down the shells in his hand and ran over in a hurry.

"Zhu Zi!"

Lu Zhixian asked with a smile: "How have you adapted recently?"

"Very well."

"Oh, really?"

Lu Zhixian was slightly relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Didn't you still have a stern face in the first two days after you came? How come you have adapted well now!"

"Regiment, regiment commander!"

Wang Chengzhu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "At that time, I heard that my regiment commander, oh, no! I heard that Commander Li sold me, so I was still a little unhappy. I just didn't expect that our Anti-Japanese War Regiment would be so rich! Commander, you don't know, I, Zhu Zi, never thought that one day I would be so rich? The artillery shells of the whole battalion can be bombarded at will, no matter how they are made!"

"Don't worry!"

Lu Zhixian smiled and patted his shoulder, saying: "As long as you stay in my Anti-Japanese War Regiment, there will be enough artillery shells! When the lease expires, you can go back to the New First Regiment as you like."

"Thank you, commander!"

Wang Chengzhu immediately looked excited.

Lu Zhixian waved his hand and said solemnly: "But I have to say this in advance. I will hand over the light artillery battalion to you. You have to help me take good care of it! If you can't show your combat effectiveness, I will see how I will deal with you!"

"Captain!"

Wang Chengzhu immediately "snapped" and saluted quickly: "Don't worry, I, Wang Chengzhu, will definitely complete the mission!"

"Very good!"

Lu Zhixian also quickly saluted.

Wang Chengzhu then said excitedly: "Captain! To be honest, I haven't had a good sleep these days! My goodness, the entire light artillery battalion is equipped with nearly 40 mortars, and I heard that many small-caliber 60mm mortars have even been distributed to various infantry combat units, otherwise the number of mortars in the light artillery battalion must be at least 60!"

Yes.

Wang Chengzhu was indeed shocked and surprised.

Back then, although he was the only gunner in the New 1st Regiment, he could only operate the only mortar, and at most he could fire twenty shells in a battle.

But what about now?

There are nearly forty mortars of 80 mm or more.

How can this be compared?

It makes me excited just thinking about it!

"Okay!"

Lu Zhixian smiled and patted his shoulder again, saying, "From now on, the light artillery battalion will be led by you, and I will continue to provide you with more artillery. More excitement is still to come."

"Yes, commander!"

Wang Chengzhu nodded again immediately.

...

Training.

Training.

Training.

Whether it is the newly formed light artillery battalion or Yang Zhihua's unit that has just received heavy artillery.

Both artillery battalions are in crazy training, and the other infantry battalions and cavalry battalions are also working hard to improve their combat effectiveness.

During this period.

In addition to Li Yunlong who came to trade supplies several times, people like Ding Wei and Kong Jie also came to exchange.

The current Eighth Route Army is definitely enough to meet the combat requirements, and their strength is also improving very rapidly, but there is still a huge gap in weapons and equipment., in terms of firepower, there is also a big gap with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the Central Army, not to mention Lu Zhixian's Anti-Japanese War Group.

After several transactions.

Both Ding Wei and Kong Jie were quite satisfied.

At the same time.

Both of them also expressed their willingness to help when the devils attacked.

Of course, it was not in vain.

Lu Zhixian naturally welcomed such a statement and gave a lot of discounts in exchange.

In fact.

He could not use the rifles and other weapons seized from the devils at all, and the benefits of making friends with the Eighth Route Army before were shown at this time.

At least the devil brigade really dared to come, so he had some backup help available.

"Captain!"

At noon a few days later.

Soon the communication class received a call from Qingfeng Village.

Since the two places were directly connected, he had ordered people to lay telephone lines in the two places during this period.

Compared with telegraph communication, telephone is more convenient and concealed, at least it eliminates the risk of being eavesdropped by the devils, and radio can be used for emergency communication during the march of troops.

"What's the matter?"

"Deputy Commander Zhou just called and said that the fortifications near Qingfeng Village have been completed. I would like to invite you to come and have a look."

"Okay!"

Lu Zhixian's face lit up when he heard it.

...

Afternoon.

Lu Zhixian led people to Qingfeng Village.

During this period of time.

Although the battalions were training frantically, the fortifications were also being built.

A large number of prisoners were mobilized and actively involved in the construction of the periphery of the frontier base.

Look.

Until now, it has finally been completed.

"Commander!"

Zhou Weiguo was waiting there early.

Both sides exchanged greetings.

Lu Zhixian didn't waste any words and said directly: "Take me to see the fortifications."

"Yes, commander!"

Zhou Weiguo quickly accepted the order.

Soon.

Under his leadership, the crowd walked slowly forward.

Along the way, they saw many sentries and firing points arranged among various earth slopes and hills. At the same time, there were many criss-crossing gullies every two kilometers. These were all defensive lines and were also used to resist the Japanese fire output. There were also many hidden artillery output positions on those high slopes.

The entire fortification was linked together, and it looked really impressive.
