The selection of the "Tiger" has also come to fruition. The establishment of the three teams has been completed. All that is left is to train according to the previous training subjects. They have nothing to say about the New Year and are ready to fight at any time!
The fourth and fifth companies, artillery companies, machine gun companies, and cavalry platoons remaining in the base area were also assembled. Three more platoons were transferred from the dozen platoons of the garrison company to form the sixth company. The company commander was the original machine gun company. The commander of the machine gun company is Yan Haoyu, and the commander of the machine gun company is Zhao Hui, the former commander of the gun company;
It is better to leave the artillery company to professionals. Yan Haoyu is a commander that Chu Xiong values and has many tricks to fight, so it is better to let him come back to command the infantry company.
The artillery company's unscrupulous guns were all replaced with "Wei Yixiao" flying thunder cannons improved by Wei Zhenyu. The company had two artillery platoons and one infantry platoon, equipped with 24 flying thunder cannons. The infantry was excluded from serving as security for the artillery company. Outside of missions, he usually carries explosive bags.

The fourth, fifth and sixth companies all have 3 infantry platoons and an 8-man company headquarters, and each company has 248 people;
Fourth company commander: Tan Tao

Sixth Company Commander: Yan Haoyu
After the garrison company transferred 3 platoons, there are still 20 platoons. These are still new recruits. 2 of these 20 platoons are artillery platoons, equipped with 24 "Wei Yixiao" flying thunder cannons. Their task is to guard the old camp. Heliu Town;
There are three infantry platoons and one heavy machine gun platoon stationed in Liu Town, commanded by Deputy Battalion Commander Zhong Guoliang. In addition, he is in charge of the armed work teams and militia companies in each village;
The personnel of the cavalry platoon remains unchanged, with the platoon leader Ma Shuai;
The telecommunications group was renamed the communications unit, and Zhao Paner was appointed as the unit chief, also at the company level;
In this way, adding the first, second, and third companies outside, the main force in the base area has 6 infantry companies, 1 machine gun company, 1 artillery company, and 1 cavalry platoon;
The arsenal worked overtime to produce a small amount of 5-kilogram picric acid electromagnetic detonation bombs. Each of the three main companies in the base area was first equipped with 10 bombs for ambushes;
In the past half month, Gao Wancheng organized the personnel of the garrison company to fry a large amount of fried noodles and made logistical preparations before the war. The signs of the Japanese attacking the base area have become more and more obvious!
The storm is coming!
The Japanese had no intention of letting the people in the base area live a stable life. All Chu Xiong and the soldiers and civilians in the base area could do was to prepare for war.
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
First Army Headquarters, Xiao Zhuoyi's office, Xiao Zhuoyi is listening to the report from Mei Agency Chief Duanmu Mieko:
"Your Excellency, Commander, at the critical moment of the winter offensive when the Imperial Army was encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the mysterious force that appeared behind the An Teng Regiment has been confirmed to be the independent battalion of Chu Xiong in Liu Town!"
"Their three main companies have been operating outside Liuzhen. Now they only have a fourth company and a small number of Tubal Road in their base area, and one is equipped with an imperial-made 81mm Type 97 mortar and a Type 92 heavy machine gun. machine gun company..."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhuoyi Nan couldn't help but take a breath and said:
"Yo Xi, this Chu Xiong is so good at mobilizing troops that he has become a thorn in the side of the imperial army. If we don't get rid of him as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles. The huge damage he has brought to the empire can only be repaid with blood!"
Since the incident with the observation group at the base camp, Chu Xiong and his independent battalion have been on Yoshio Shino's must-kill list. Only by eliminating Chu Xiong can the anger of His Majesty the Emperor be appeased.
"Director Duanmu, your intelligence this time is very detailed and very good. To continue to strengthen the penetration of Liu Town, I want to know Chu Xiong's every move, including small things like what he eats every day!"
Xiao Zhuoyi's affirmation made Duanmu excited. She leaned her legs heavily, bowed deeply, her waist almost bent to 90 degrees, and said excitedly:
"Thank you for the compliment, Commander. Duanmu will definitely fulfill his mission. Long live His Majesty the Emperor, and long live the Holy War!"
Duanmu left after shouting the slogan, leaving him and Chief of Staff Major General Miyamoto alone in the office.
"Miyamoto-kun, I have read your battle plan. I basically agree. Just increase the amount of supplies for another week. Only in this way can we deal with the strong walls of the Chinese and clear the country. Remember, the lion and the rabbit need to use their full strength, let alone us. Your opponent is the Tiger of Taihang!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, the imperial army's attack needs to be postponed for at least three days, and the warriors may have to spend the New Year in the ice and snow of the Taihang Mountains!"
"Miyamoto-kun, the warriors are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Imperial Holy War, so why spend the New Year in the mountains? Besides, the entire Liu Town is given to them as a New Year's gift, and the warriors will have a carnival in Liu Town!
After the capture of Liu Town, no chickens or dogs were left behind. Chu Xiong must pay a bloody price for his actions, and there is no need to hand over everything captured! "
Xiao Zhuoyi's cold words seemed to come from hell. Even Major General Miyamoto couldn't help but shuddered after hearing this.
"Miyamoto-kun, in the early stage of the operation, Chu Xiong must be placed in the three main companies on the periphery and tightly contained, so as not to leave them a chance to support Liu Zhen. Our purpose this time is to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron and turn the independent battalion into a Liu Town, which we depend on for survival, was razed to the ground!"
"Chu Xiong must die!"
"Hey!"
Major General Miyamoto took the order and left!
