"Ding! Congratulations to the host for regaining 1 first-tier city (Taiyuan), 1 second-tier railway city (Yuci), and 9 third-tier agricultural cities (Qingxu, Qinyuan, Jiaocheng, etc.) in this battle. The total points earned are: 180,000! "
"Congratulations to the host for leading his troops to participate in a medium-sized battle (corps level) and achieve victory. Based on the battle loss ratio, the final battle evaluation is: good, and the reward points are: 100,000 points!"
After ordering the 366th Brigade to go south to recover the remaining cities in the Jinzhong Basin yesterday, the 122nd Division finally stopped this stage of combat operations.
It was also a coincidence that the rewards from the system arrived just after the reporters left this afternoon.
Liu Yu entered the system with tears in his eyes and checked the rewards this time.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing 26,753 Japanese troops in this battle, including 2 lieutenant generals, 7 colonels, and the lieutenant colonel... 52,430 reward points!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for annihilating X2 first-level units of the Japanese division. Congratulations to the host for 100,000 reward points!"
The rewards for killing are not many. The main reason is that killing a lieutenant general only costs 2,000 points, which does not match the difficulty at all. The total rewards for killing are only more than 52,000 points. Most of them come from the grassroots officers. The number is large. Multiplying the reward base is quite rewarding. rich.
On the other hand, to annihilate the Japanese divisions in an organic form, one division is worth 50,000 points, which is quite a surprise. It's a pity that the coalition flag was not captured. This time the coalition flag was burned by the Japanese flag guard.
It is said that the kill also rewards the corresponding equipment. In addition, the Japanese equipment cleaned up on the battlefield and from the arsenals in Taiyuan, Yuci and other places. This time, the Japanese equipment in Liu Yu's hand is worth four divisions.
Although many of the weapons in the arsenal have been given to Commander Nie and General Chen, there are many young and old who are left. If all of them were given to my third uncle, he would probably go crazy with joy.
Thinking that his third uncle was always smiling at others but always hitting him on the head, Liu Yu curled his lips and continued to check the rewards.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a total of 35,103 little devils and achieving the achievement of killing ten thousand people. The reward points are 100,000 points, a large gift pack, and a randomly unlocked technology exchange privilege that is 30 years ahead of the current timeline, plus 5 million yuan! I hope the host will continue to work hard and achieve the achievement of killing 100,000 people as soon as possible!"
"Ouch!"
Liu Yu didn't expect that the reward for the achievement of killing ten thousand people would be so amazing. The points reward would be as good as the recapture of Nanjing. What's more, there would be a big gift package and the unlocking of a future technology. You must know that the big gift package also contains future technology.
Seeing that the system points had exceeded 530,000, Liu Yu was shocked. If he hadn't thought that there were people around him, he would have jumped up.
There were a lot of jokes about this before, so now Liu Yu is paying special attention to avoid being regarded as a lunatic.
"Ding! The points currently held by the host have met the system upgrade conditions. Do you want to spend 100,000 points to upgrade?"
Liu Yu hesitated after hearing this and felt a little reluctant. With 100,000 points, he would have to conquer two Taiyuan cities to get back.
His eyes flickered, and then he asked: "Are there any benefits to rising to level 6?"
"Ding! Host, please explore on your own!"
"I groped your uncle!"
After cursing, Liu Yu forced himself to look away from the more than 530,000 points and think seriously.
Logically speaking, every time the system upgrades to a level, it can be exchanged for technology and equipment that are one year ahead of the current time. For example, if the system is now level five, it can be exchanged for equipment that is five years ahead of the current time.
The reason why there was no exchange of technology before was because one had to buy equipment to arm his own troops first. Now that the army has sufficient strength, if points can be exchanged for technology, the industry of the entire military region can immediately achieve leapfrog progress.
"Ding! Idiot host, I'll give you technology and equipment. Do you have anyone who can use it?"
While Liu Yu was thinking, Leng Buding was scolded by the system, and his face suddenly became full of black lines.
Damn it, forget about this!
Now there are many factories in the area, but due to the limited number of technicians, the production capacity has not been able to increase. A lot of equipment is lying in the workshop gathering dust. What is the use of buying more advanced technical equipment?
Unless we can jump to the stage of artificial intelligence, where one person can manage a workshop, otherwise it will be all in vain.
"Okay, let's upgrade first. Level 6 should be able to exchange for things from 1945. If you are in a hurry, you can buy a Little Boy brand mushroom and feed it to the little devil. Hehehehe..."
The system ignored Liu Yu's cheeky smile and deducted 100,000 points on its own to upgrade.
"Ding! The upgrade is complete. The system has now reached level 6. Congratulations to the host for leaving the novice stage!"
"Ding! Unlock the mission section! The current main mission, drive away the little devils, needs to be completed within 6 years, and the host will be rewarded depending on the completion of the task! Release the first phase of the main mission, liberate all of Shanxi, and needs to be completed within 3 years, depending on the completion of the task Give the host a reward! Publish a side mission to liberate Linfen and Yuncheng Basin. It is required to be completed within 2 years. The host will be rewarded depending on the completion of the task!"
Seeing this mission, Liu Yu was a little stunned at first, because the Japanese would definitely mobilize the Kwantung Army to come to Shanxi for reinforcements next. This task was not easy to do. The Kwantung Army's gang of bastards were not the newly formed "miscellaneous Japanese troops" like the 37th Division. "Comparable.
But looking at the more than 400,000 system points he has left, Liu Yu said he has no pressure!
Then there are the 20th and 36th divisions. If these brats are desperate to stay in the Yuncheng area, it will not be difficult to kill them.
Now that the Zhengtai Railway and the Tongpu Railway have been cut off by Liu Yu, the 20th Division and the 36th Division are waiting to die in Yuncheng. If they are smart enough, going east to Jincheng and then returning to the southern Hebei area is the right option. Over there The National Army in Zhongtiao Mountain should not embarrass them.
If they are reluctant to leave the southern Shanxi area, Liu Yu can just ask his third uncle to send troops to Zhiguan, Tianjingguan and other places to block Zhiguanxing first, and then he can close the door and beat the dogs.
After figuring it out, Liu Yu stopped worrying and used the remaining points to start shopping.
. . . . . .
Liu Yu's place calmed down, but other places were still lively.
Thanks to the telegram sent by the deputy commander-in-chief to Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang, Yan Laoxi couldn't sit still when he learned that Liu Yu had killed the 37th Division and recovered the entire Jinzhong Basin.
Shanxi was his home base, and it would have been a shame to lose it. Now it was defeated by the Eighth Route Army, which made him a little impatient. He immediately ordered Tang Huaiyuan, Fu Zuoyi and other troops to send troops to regain Datong, Shuozhou and other places, hoping to negotiate some Capital can then be exchanged for Taiyuan with the Eighth Route Army.
Yes, he doesn't want anything else but Taiyuan, which he has longed for.
General Wei Lihuang was much more pure. Originally, he wanted to support the Eighth Route Army, but Pang Bingxun and others were unwilling. He said: "The reason why the 122nd Division defeated the 41st Division was because armored troops surprised them and broke up the 41st Division's formation. But the 37th Division relies on permanent fortifications in the mountains and it is impossible to annihilate it in a short time! In addition, the Eighth Route Army has always taken advantage and left. If we send troops rashly and they suddenly retreat, won't this push us to the front of the 20th Division? ?When the Japanese 20th and 36th Divisions strike back, how can we withstand the counterattack of the 20th Division without leaving the fortifications?"
It sounds quite reasonable, but unfortunately they never imagined that Liu Yu would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and kill the 37th Division with poison gas bombs. Moreover, the explanation he gave in the end was so perfect that people were helpless.
At this time, General Wei Lihuang decisively ordered troops to attack Yuncheng.
However, due to the previous hesitation, the time to send troops is no longer so ideal. Taiyuan has been captured, the 37th Division has been annihilated, and there is no point in the 20th and 36th Divisions continuing to move north, so Tada Jun directly ordered Ushijima Chang Chang waited for others and asked them to lead their troops back to their respective stations and wait for the Kwantung Army to move south. At that time, they would attack the Kwantung Army from the north and the south to retake the Jinzhong Basin.
The same applies to the independent 4th and 9th Mixed Brigade and other units in the north. They all received orders to withdraw to their garrison defense.
The main reason was that Liu Yu's side fought too fast. From the beginning of the war to the annihilation of the 41st and 37th divisions, and then the recovery of the Jinzhong Basin, it took only 5 days, which almost made everyone miss.
As for the 20th Division, they finally reached the vicinity of Hanxinling and were ordered to retreat.
This caused the troops in the First War Zone and the Shanxi-Sui Army to be embarrassed. If they fought, they might not be able to defeat them, but if they retreated, it would be very embarrassing.
In the end, both sides fought casually for a few times and then withdrew their troops. The fighting lasted less than 10 days in total, and neither side suffered any major casualties. Although it seemed like a joke, at least it made sense on the surface.
This battle is called the Hundred Regiments Battle by our party. It can be said to be a close-up and a slap in the face to those who say that the Eighth Route Army is loitering but not attacking.
In this battle, the Eighth Route Army in North China was mobilized in its entirety. Troops from Shanxi-Hebei-Henan, Taiyue, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Jirecha, Resuicha, northwest Shanxi, central Hebei, and southern Hebei anti-Japanese base areas were all mobilized. The total strength exceeded He recruited 150 regiments and more than 400,000 people. It was precisely because there were so many troops outside to support Liu Yu that he gave Liu Yu enough time to conquer the Jinzhong Basin.
The Chongqing side called it the Battle of Jinzhong. After all, the first and second theaters were involved. The principal naturally placed all the credit on Wei Lihuang and Yan Laoxi, claiming: This was a long preparation. The sudden campaign was launched to regain the entire territory of Shanxi. However, some generals of the 18th Army did not follow the battle plan, took advantage of the situation, and misused poison gas bombs, resulting in incomplete efforts!
Not to mention, the principal's impassioned speech, not to mention disparaging the Eighth Route Army, really boosted the morale of the military and the people in the Kuomintang-controlled area, and the anti-Japanese enthusiasm once again reached a new level. All levels of society donated money one after another, and many young students gave up their writing and joined the army.
Regarding this kind of statement, our party naturally regarded him as fart, but we could only endure the disgust and not try to dismantle him.
The deputy commander-in-chief is still depressed. This battle was fought in a blur. He didn't even have to intervene too much, let alone Yan Laoxi and Wei Lihuang. They are commanders but they have a hammer battle plan. ?
Thinking of this, the deputy commander was so angry that he gritted his teeth and threatened to hang Liu Yu up and whip him a hundred times!
If we had known that the 122nd Division was so capable of fighting, and if Liu Yu could have had a conversation with him before the fight started, where would this result have been?
. . . . . .
The North China side had calmed down for the time being, but fighting broke out again in the South. On September 15, that is, after Japan and the Soviet Union signed the "Japan-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty", Okamura Neji took action again. The Japanese 11th Army launched The attack on Changsha.
This battle did not have much to say, but it was an order from the National Military and Political Department. They ordered the main force of the New Fourth Army to go to the Ninth Theater to support the operation.
This shows that it is not a good thing to hold in. Not to mention that the two war zones are separated by hundreds of kilometers, but the inferior equipment of the New Fourth Army was sent to the Changsha front line to be used as cannon fodder?
After Liu Yu learned about this incident, he remembered the Wannan Incident in the original history of time and space, and felt that Bai Chongxi's weakling must have a back-up plan.
Thinking about the fact that the Eighth Route Army's strength has greatly increased in this time and space, Liu Yu feels that the principal must be more restless than at the same time in the original time and space, and will definitely cause trouble.
So he called the New Fourth Army in his own name and asked them to be more vigilant. If they did not obey the order this time, they would not obey the order in the future.
But it can only be a reminder. After all, they are too far apart to get involved.
. . . . . .
After the battle, the Shanxi-Hebei Border Military Region held a post-war meeting. After summarizing the battle, Liu Yu proposed a plan to reorganize the troops.
Roughly speaking, the two brigades under the 122nd Division were separated, expanded into three divisions based on the original regiments, and an armored brigade was formed at the same time.
He had 100,000 points left for this big purchase in the system, and almost spent all the remaining 330,000 points.
Bought 80 T-26 tanks, 80 half-track armored personnel carriers (500 points each), and 1 million liters of fuel for 130,000 points.
The aviation force was temporarily sufficient, so I only bought a batch of aerial bombs, and added 8 B-17 bombers, 20 P-40 fighter jets, and 1 million liters of fuel. A total of 64,000 points were spent.
The rest were all infantry and artillery equipment. Considering the huge casualties suffered by the 364th Brigade in the close combat with the 41st Division, Liu Yu bought a large number of M1911 pistols and Thompson submachine guns.
I didn't think about it before, thinking that most of the time in the future will be defensive battles, relying on light and heavy machine gun firepower is enough. As a result, the 364th Brigade fought with the 41st Division at close range this time and was half disabled. Liu Yu felt distressed behind his back. Crying.
In the future, troops in the Shanxi-Hebei Border Military Region will be equipped with three Thompson submachine guns as assault firepower for each squad. Cadres above the squad leader will be equipped with an additional pistol. In addition, veterans who have been in the army for more than two years and soldiers who have made meritorious service will also be awarded an M1911 pistol as an honor. .
In addition, Liu Yu also organized a group of technicians from the United States to establish a small arms research institute, and hand-drawn rough drawings of the AK47 assault rifle and M1897 shotgun from memory, describing the general performance requirements, and let them try to research and produce them.
The M1897 shotgun can be bought in the system, but if he can make it himself, Liu Yu doesn't want to waste points. The previous pistols and submachine guns had to buy them first because of the limited production capacity of the arsenal.
AK, it can’t be redeemed yet.
Liu Yu was thinking: When the Weapons Research Institute successfully completes the trial production and these two guns are installed in the army, my soldiers will have AK for long-range combat and Laifu for close combat. Let’s make it bigger and stronger. Create greater glory!
As for the expansion of the troops, according to Liu Yu, in the future, except for some special units, the infantry will no longer have brigade-level establishments. Each infantry division will directly have 3 infantry regiments and 1 artillery regiment, in addition to logistics and reconnaissance. , guards, field hospitals and other directly affiliated units, the capacity of each division has been reduced to about 18,000 people. Among them, there are only about 8,000 main combat personnel, namely infantry, more than 3,000 artillery personnel at all levels, and the remaining more than 7,000 people are all for these 11,000 people. Serve.
Then, Liu Yu issued new appointments, appointing Peng Xuefeng as the commander of the 122nd Division, Cheng Yue as the political commissar, Huang Zhentang as the deputy division commander, and Li Dinghai as the chief of staff, with jurisdiction over the 727th, 728th, and independent regiments. In fact, they were based on the 364th Brigade. Make adaptations.
At the same time, the 1st Division was newly established, which was also adapted on the basis of the 366th Brigade. Wang Zhitao served as the division commander, Wu Zongxian served as the political commissar, Yuan Xuekai served as the deputy division commander, and Li Yinzhang served as the chief of staff. It has jurisdiction over the 731, 732, and teaching groups.
For the newly formed 2nd Division, Tang Tianji was appointed as the division commander. Since it was a purely new division, its cadres were yet to be determined. Liu Yu thought of recruiting from other fraternal units.
The 1st Armored Brigade is equipped with 92 T-26 tanks and 80 armored personnel carriers. Gao Jingting serves as the brigade commander and Brother Yunlong serves as the political commissar. It consists of 2 tank battalions (each battalion has 40 tanks and the remaining spares) and 2 mechanized infantry. Battalion (80 armored personnel carriers), one 105 howitzer battalion, plus logistics, baggage, air defense and other units, with a total strength of about 7,000 people. Two of the mechanized infantry battalions were expanded based on the remaining more than 400 veterans of the original 3rd Guard Regiment. They had fought a fierce battle with the original temporary armored battalion and were relatively experienced.
By the way, the Third Guard Regiment was miserable in that battle. There were 1,800 people, and only 400 were left standing in the end.
The original artillery regiment of the 122nd Division was expanded to the 1st Artillery Brigade directly under the military region. It will no longer be equipped with 105-caliber artillery. In the future, the 105-caliber artillery will be used as a conventional field artillery configuration at the division and brigade levels, and the military region's heavy artillery brigade will be equipped with 6 artillery units. Battalion, 4 air defense battalions. These units are 2 battalions of 48 120 mm cannons; 2 battalions of 48 155 mm howitzers, and 2 battalions of 24 203 mm howitzers; and 2 air defense battalions of 48 40 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, and 2 The battalion has 96 twin 20mm Oerlikon cannons as anti-aircraft firepower. Finally, there are 2 battalions of infantry as ground protection force. After the expansion of the entire heavy artillery brigade, it will have a total of 12 battalions of combat units. Counting logistics and other personnel, the total number will reach about 11,000.
If this expansion plan had been put aside a year ago, everyone present would have complained about Liu Yu's whims, but now no one jumps out to refute it. On the contrary, everyone has no reaction at all.
There was really no reaction of surprise at all, just nodding and silently taking notes.
Even Wu Hongbo, his dedicated supporter, didn't say anything. This scene made Liu Yu feel a little hurt.
The days of eating, sleeping and amusing Lao Wu are gone forever...
At the end of the meeting, it was natural to arrange the recruitment work.
Now the population under the jurisdiction of the military region has exceeded 4 million, mainly in the fertile Jinzhong Basin, which has a population of more than 3 million. Originally, Yangquan and other places have approached the 1 million mark due to the increasing number of refugees fleeing from central Henan. .
Before Liu Yu traveled through, not to mention the huge Jinzhong Basin, Taiyuan City alone had a population of more than 5 million.
Of course, the current Jinzhong Basin was originally more than this. The plague of the little devils was so devastating that many people moved to the southwest and Shaanxi regions.
This time, Liu Yu made it clear that after the Shanxi-Hebei Border Military Region captured the Jinzhong Basin, there was no possibility of giving up. Even if all the troops were exhausted, the people of Jinzhong would never be allowed to be persecuted by the Japanese again!
It is certain to crack down on traitors, bullies, and bandits. Coupled with the implementation of the new land policy and the clean-up measures, with the announcement of Liu Yu's statement, the reputation of the Shanxi-Hebei Border Military Region skyrocketed again. During the open recruitment, young people signed up to join the army. The recruiting office was almost overwhelmed.
In less than 10 days, 80,000 recruits were recruited. This was under strict screening. If the recruitment was opened, even 200,000 people would not be able to stop them!
It was Lao Song who called a halt in time, saying that he could not afford to support so many soldiers.
According to the past situation, not to mention 80,000, 800,000 is not too much for him, but according to the established training outline of the Shanxi-Hebei Border Military Region, 80,000 is already the limit, otherwise the rich Jinzhong Basin will be turned into a desert.
By the way, if the National Army troops in the First War Zone next door saw this situation, they would be furious. They usually don't have such a large number of young men to catch. The common people would hide when they saw them, and they couldn't catch them even if they wanted to.
The recruitment process took 10 days. It had just ended here, and the Shanxi-Sui Army and the First War Zone had just withdrawn their troops. It was quite a coincidence.
The placement of 80,000 recruits is a problem. Is it possible in my hometown? Although the area there is not small, it will be very crowded if 80,000 people are crammed into it.
For this reason, Liu Yu moved the recruit training camp to Yuci and launched a vigorous military training.
At the same time, in order to ensure defense, the military region reorganized the newly formed 1st Division first. Originally, the casualties of the 366th Brigade were not very large, so Liu Yu added the 2nd Guard Regiment to it, transferred all other auxiliary arms of the original 122nd Division, and directly The reorganization of the new 1st Division was completed. After the reorganization was completed, it was stationed in Yangqu County to defend the northern gateway of Taiyuan.
Shiling Pass is still in the hands of the 115th Division. With Liu Yu's emotional intelligence, of course he will not directly say stupid things about taking over the defense work. That is a distrust of the brother troops.
However, compared with the new 1st Division, which is the original 366th Brigade, the troops of the 115th Division are indeed a little less interesting. This is true.
If it was the 115th Division at the beginning, Liu Yu would definitely have provided equipment to turn them into a real ace division. But now the veterans of the 115th Division have been dismantled. In two years, the entire unit has expanded from the original 15,000 to nearly 20 Ten thousand people, the current Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Hebei-Recha, Resui-Cha, Hebei-Luyu and other military regions were all developed on the basis of the original 115th Division. It is certain that their combat effectiveness will decline.
Of the more than 50,000 people in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region who are now under the direct command of Commander Nie, only Tang Yanjie's teaching group can handle them. The others will definitely not be able to defeat the 366 Brigade in a real fight, even if they are fighting guerrillas! You must know that the grassroots officers of the 366th Brigade are all veterans of the Red Army, and fighting guerrillas is their old profession!
It's even worse when it comes to positional warfare. There's no need to elaborate on the reasons.
Therefore, the New 1st Division is stationed near Yangqu. If the 115th Division cannot support it by then, it can provide them with support nearby at any time.
As for the 122nd Division, the plan was to adapt it on the basis of the 364th Brigade. However, the 364th Brigade suffered too many casualties in the last battle, so it had to be postponed. The remaining 3,000 veterans were put into the new recruit training camp to serve as Recruit instructors and platoon leaders will form the 122nd Division after the training of this batch of recruits is completed. In addition to the injured soldiers lying in the hospital, Liu Yu planned to wait for them to recover and use them as the basis to form a new 2nd Division.
Speaking of the battle outside Yingze Gate, the old Red Army troops of the 364th Brigade really didn’t suffer much loss. They had survived the tradition of seeing red on the bayonet. Each one fought hard with the bayonet, and most of the casualties were those who had not enlisted in the army. Those who are more than a year old are the soldiers Liu Yu has just recruited this year.
However, after the injured recover this time, I believe their combat effectiveness will reach a higher level again, and they should not be much worse than those of the old Red Army.
In addition, the 1st Guards Regiment that stayed at Tumen Pass and the previous batch of 3,000 recruits who stayed in Jingxing County were combined into the 1st Guards Brigade, with Chen Weilin as the brigade commander, who will be responsible for the defense of Tumen Pass from now on.
