Commander No. 3 left with satisfaction.
During this trip, Commander No. 3 not only got the rocket launcher, a powerful weapon for attacking artillery towers, but he also got 90% of the seizures from the Dameishan Military Division. It can be said that he returned with a full load, so when he left Meixian, the smile on his face never stopped. However, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng were really worried. Will the third captain laugh until his facial muscles cramp
After sending off the No. 3 commander, Xu Rui and Wang Husheng could finally do the post-war summary work.
For ** troops, post-war summary is a very important process, because through the summary, some previous deficiencies can be found, which can be improved in the next battle, and some good aspects can be improved through the summary. Spread the word so you can do better in the next battle.
The ** army has become stronger little by little through constant post-war summaries.
Xu Rui and Wang Husheng deliberately set the time for the summary meeting to be held on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, which was New Year's Eve.
In this way, officers at all levels who come to participate in the summary meeting can go home to reunite with their relatives and celebrate the New Year. Of course, for those officers who have no family or whose family members are not in Meixian County, they can only go home to the commander-in-chief Have a reunion dinner in the department’s large canteen before returning to the army the next day.
There was a heavy snowfall on the night of the 28th, and the entire Damei Mountain area was covered in silver.
However, the road leading to Meixian County was busy and lively.
As the New Year is approaching, people from neighboring towns will bring their own local specialties to Meixian to sell them. After exchanging money, they can buy some daily necessities such as cloth, soap, and matches.
Following power plants, arsenals, steel plants, pharmaceutical plants and coal chemical plants, silk reeling factories, cloth factories, match factories, flour mills, shoe factories and other factories have also been opened one after another. The scale of Guijianchou's industrial park has expanded several times. Times, the products produced have also expanded to include clothing, food, housing, transportation and other aspects.
It’s really not nonsense. There are even small traders in the Japanese-occupied areas who come to Dameishan to purchase goods. The reason is that the goods in Dameishan are only taxed once, and then they can pass through the entire base area without hindrance. But in the Japanese-occupied areas, There are so many tax cards on each waterway. The tax you need to pay for a trip of goods far exceeds the value of the goods. Therefore, small traders on the fringes of Japanese-occupied areas and base areas would rather go to the base areas to purchase goods.

Gao Chu stepped on the snow and climbed to the top of Qingniuling mountain step by step.
Standing on Qingniuling and looking down, I saw that the southern half of the slope that had been burned by the fire was completely covered with thick white snow. The dark mountain was no longer visible, and it looked much more pleasing to the eye.
On the snow-covered ridge, a dozen farmers were stirring cement.
Not far away, there is a bunker under repair. During the anti-mopping operation that ended a week ago, the defenses on Qingniu Ridge were greatly damaged and must be repaired as soon as possible, so even though it is already the end of the year, it can be The civilians responsible for the repairs had not rested yet and were still working hard.
Gao Chu greeted one of the peasants and said, "Uncle Li, are you busy?"
Uncle Li responded and said, "Commander Gao, are you here to inspect the fortifications again?"
"Uncle Li, just call me Xiao Gao." Gao Chu waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'll just come up and take a look around."
Uncle Li chuckled and said: "Captain Gao, don't worry, there is only a little finishing work left, the entire repair project will be completed soon, and I can also assure you that the bunker after the repair is completed, Its strength will only be higher than the original bunker, and the Japanese will not be able to penetrate it even if they use artillery fire."
Gao Chu smiled, exchanged a few words with Uncle Li, and walked to the bunker.
This time the person who went up the mountain with Gao Chu to inspect was Xu Yue, the commander of the Warrior Battalion.
Xu Yue walked into the bunker, pulled out his bayonet and stabbed the bunker wall. He heard a ding sound and only a small white spot was left on the cement wall. He nodded with satisfaction and said to Gao Chu: " Captain, I didn’t cut any corners.”
The nine sons of the dragon are all different. There are some people in the base area who are of high quality and some who are of low quality.
Just a few days ago, a public case occurred on a construction site in Pu County. Two civilians responsible for reinforcing tunnels stole cement from the construction site and went home to repair the courtyard wall. As a result, the cement on the construction site was not enough, so the two people mixed it in. A lot of sand was added, and as a result, the tunnel was not strong enough and the tunnel collapsed, crushing a civilian to death.
After this incident, Gao Chu kept a close eye on the repair project of the Qingniuling fortifications. These fortifications were used to save lives. If the construction strength was not strong enough due to cutting corners, it would cost lives. The devil would The fortifications can be destroyed by artillery fire, and it will be their fortification regiment that suffers at that time.
By the way, the Guard Corps has been officially renamed the Fortress Corps.
Because as soon as the counter-mopping ended, Xu Rui announced the army expansion plan, officially expanding the guard battalion into a guard regiment, the cavalry battalion into a cavalry regiment, and the engineer battalion into the First Armored Regiment, because The names of the Guard Regiment and the Guard Regiment overlapped and it was very easy to get confused, so the Guard Regiment was changed to the Fortress Regiment.
The current Dameishan Military Division has jurisdiction over the First Regiment, the Second Regiment, the Third Regiment, the Fortress Regiment, the Guard Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the Cavalry Regiment, the First Armored Regiment, and the Artillery Regiment. In addition, the Langya Team It was also officially upgraded to the Wolf Fang Brigade. Although it is a battalion-level organization, its level is equivalent to that of a regiment.
Therefore, the Dameishan Military Division now has ten regiment-level units under its jurisdiction.
In addition, the third battalion of the fort regiment, the Warrior Battalion, has also been rebuilt.
This warrior camp is incredible. All the soldiers were personally selected by Gao Chu from the three main regiments. In other words, the soldiers in this warrior camp are all veterans! This is not the most interesting thing. The most interesting thing is that the three company commanders of the Warrior Battalion and the guard platoon leader are all Langya, which is the only one in the entire Dameishan Military Division.
In addition, Xu Yue, the battalion commander of the Warrior Battalion, is also very unusual. This boy, He Shuya, Huang Shouxin, and Mei Jiuling were classmates in the first batch of the youth training camp. Before being transferred to the Warrior Battalion, he had been serving as the guard company commander of the third regiment. To exaggerate, Xu Yue was He Shuya's most trusted right-hand man. In order to get Xu Yue, Gao Chu went to great lengths.
However, after being transferred here, Gao Chu also discovered that Xu Yue was really capable. Within two days, he managed to subdue the three company commanders and the guard platoon leader who came from Langya. Gao Chu didn't know exactly what happened. , it is said that Xu Yue organized a jungle assault exercise. Xu Yue led a platoon against a platoon led by Lang Ya, the most capable opponent. The final result was that the platoon led by Xu Yue won completely. After that, several wolves The tooth is convinced.
In short, Gao Chu was very satisfied with Xu Yue and the warrior camp.
The only thing that makes Gao Chu unhappy is that because they are a fortress regiment, they have to stay at home. Unlike the first regiment, second regiment, third regiment and independent regiment, they can guard one side. In fact, what Gao Chu envies is not the freedom of guarding one side. What Gao Chu envied was that the territories of several regiments were closely adjacent to the Japanese-occupied areas, so there would be wars.
Unlike their fortress troops who stay at home, it will be difficult for them to fight unless the Japanese conduct a major sweep again.
However, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the Japs to carry out a large-scale sweep in a short period of time, at least within half a year. It will depend on the situation after half a year. Gao Chu is worried that after half a year, it will not be the Japs who will carry out the sweeps. They, but their troops from the Dameishan Military Division, were about to start a counterattack.
Therefore, Gao Chu felt a little anxious inside.
Xu Yue saw Gao Chu's inner anxiety and said, "Captain, you are actually thinking too much."
"Am I overthinking?" Gao Chu frowned and said, "Battle Commander Xu, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Yue smiled and said: "Commander, think about it. The commander spent so much money to rebuild the Warrior Camp. Is it just to defend the Shaqiaogang Fortress? And I also heard a news."
"A piece of news?" Gao Chu asked, "What news?"
Xu Yue whispered: "Yesterday, a classmate of mine from the youth training camp came back to Meixian for a meeting and revealed the news to me that after the Chinese New Year, their third regiment will be transferred back to Meixian."
"What, the Third Regiment is going to be transferred back to Meixian?" Gao Chu said in surprise, "Pu County doesn't want it?"
"That designation won't work." Xu Yue said, "The independent regiment will replace the third regiment to garrison Pu County."
The independent regiment Xu Yue mentioned was the Feixi Independent Regiment. After the Feixi Incident, more than 200 remnants and more than 500 wounded soldiers of the Feixi Independent Regiment returned to the Dameishan Military Division with Xu Rui, but the four towns of Feicheng gave up. , it’s not that Xu Rui is unwilling to defend, but that he really doesn’t have the conditions to defend at this stage, and he can’t defend even if he insists on defending.
Although the Dameishan Military Division won the counter-mopping up and annihilated all four divisions of the 32nd Group Army in one go, it was actually at the end of its efforts and was unable to launch a major campaign. Although the Japanese were unable to invade the Meishan, but it is not difficult to hit Feicheng along the road.
Due to limited conditions, Xu Rui could only give up the four towns of Feicheng.
After abandoning Feixi, the remnants and wounded of the Feixi Independent Regiment followed Xu Rui back to Dameishan. They have rested for almost a week now, and the militia team to supplement the Independent Regiment has also been put in place. In a few days, the Independence Regiment will The regiment can be reorganized, and then it can go out of Pucheng to replace the third regiment.
Gao Chu didn't understand yet and asked, "What does this mean?"
Xu Yue said: "Captain, this adjustment shows that the first and second regiments are actually the same as independent regiments. The commander only treats them as garrison troops, while our fortress regiment is treated like the third regiment, guard regiment, cavalry regiment, and armored regiment." The first regiment, like the artillery regiment, belongs to the mobile combat force and belongs to the sharp knife in the commander's hand!"
"I understand what you mean!" Gao Chu finally came to his senses and said excitedly, "The regiment commander is going to divide the troops in the entire military division into two levels. One level is used to guard the place, and the other level is used Come to mobile combat, and our fortress regiment will become a mobile combat force together with the third regiment?"
