In a blink of an eye, 8 months have passed!

During these eight months, the war situation in China has undergone a fundamental reversal. Due to the Battle of Hengyang, the Japanese army not only did not realize their desire to open up mainland transportation lines, but even the Tanzhou that had been captured was unable to be saved.

The 9th War Zone, led by the commander Xue, brought the remaining power of the Hengyang Defense Battle, and assembled five armies and four infantry troops, totaling about 260,000 troops. In early December, the 11th Japanese Army, which had lost most of its combat power, had two divisions from the Japanese North China Front Army as a supplement, but its combat force was less than 150,000. In addition, the air supremacy was completely lost, so it had to give up Tanzhou and retreat.

Most of Hunan Province has returned to China's control!

In February 1945, although the weather was cold and frozen in northern China, under the careful planning of the Second War Zone Command, the fourth and fifth army of the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line had a total of about 100,000 troops from Shanxi to Jinzhong with the cooperation of five infantry regiments of the Eighty Army, and successively broke through three defense lines of the Japanese North China Front Army, recovered 18 county towns, and pointed directly at the original city.

The 683rd Brigade of the main infantry brigade of the 80th Army and the Hebei-nan Guard Brigade, located in Hebei Province, once again showed their sharp fangs, gathering more than 50,000 troops. Hebei-nan launched an offensive and conquered Handan and Xingtai.

The headquarters of the 4th Division of the Japanese North China Front Army stationed in southern Hebei was almost defeated with one blow. In just three days, southern Hebei was completely destroyed. The entire southern Hebei was completely controlled by China and was completely connected with the Taihang Mountains.

However, Lieutenant General Oguchi Yukinosuke, who had just been promoted to the commander of the 4th Division, suffered a great defeat, but miraculously did not receive any harsh criticism.

Although this person is a smart man, he is closely related to many senior officials of the Front Command in daily life, and is extremely supportive of the North China Front Command. The most important reason is that perhaps the Japanese North China Front Army also believes that this is a crime of non-war!

As early as December 1944, with the return of the Sihang Regiment, the Eighty Army, which occupied a huge base in several provinces in Hebei, Shandong and Henan, no longer concealed its strength and showed off its muscles from time to time.

It was not until then that the Japanese North China Front Army was terrified to discover what kind of behemoth they had always looked down upon?

It was a military group with hundreds of thousands of troops. They were an army with 150 caliber heavy artillery, direct aiming guns with extremely strong ability to break through hardness, and a large number of equipment of various caliber mortars. They were by no means the country buns army they imagined with only rifles and machine guns.

After years of despicable development, the Taihang Army Factory finally ushered in its highest moment of glory in this era.

Although it is impossible to publish its production capacity at this time because of confidentiality, the declassified files 15 years later recorded that before 1945, the Taihang Army Factory had 4,800 employees.

In terms of production capacity, the monthly output of various types of bullets is 1.8 million; 10,000 guns of various types; 600 600 600 shells, 300 shells; 200 120 caliber mortars and 10,000 shells; 30 75 caliber mountain cannons and 6,000 shells; more than 50,000 explosives such as mines, grenades, explosives packs...

The powerful military manufacturing gave the Eighty Army the greatest confidence. Now they chose to show their muscles before the giant Japanese ship was about to sink. I am afraid that it would be more for the two Japanese fighting, but for others.

After all, even the five-star American general, the commander-in-chief of the Far East, saw the strength of another Chinese allies displayed in North China that were invited to be displayed in the newspaper, could not help but open their eyes wide.

"Mom Xipi!" Someone cursed in his small living room.

"Baga!" Shimomura Tatsumiya, the new commander of the North China Front Army of Japan, was covered in cold sweat on his forehead.

Not to mention the more than 200,000 people on the Taihang Mountain in Zhongtiao Mountain, the eighty army scattered all over the Imperial Imperial Army stationed around the city can submerge them with huge forces.

Give up southern Shanxi, eastern Shanxi, and shrinking forces to defend the original city were the strategic deployment made by the Japanese North China Front Command for China's operations in Shanxi Province, and it was also the underwear of the Japanese North China Front. If China still wanted to continue to gain a stubborn approach, the 13th Division and four mixed brigades stationed in the original city would fight 50,000 Japanese troops at the death.

However, in Hebei Province, facing the brazen attacks launched by the 80th Army and the Hebei-South Guard Brigade, the Japanese North China Front could only watch the 4th Division quickly retreated.

Although the Japanese troops stationed in eastern Hebei and northern Hebei have been receiving requests for help from friendly forces from southern Hebei, they dare not leave the city gate at all.

There is no need to reconnaissance. Even fools know that the main force of the Eighty Army may be waiting for them on the side of the road, and then eat them all with crispy bites, without spitting bones.

An infantry brigade can fight against a Chinese infantry division, which has long become an old Huangsheng. After the Battle of Zishan, the strength of the Japanese North China Front Army against the enemy and our armies has been clearly compared.

Putting aside the top ace infantry regiments like the Four Lines Regiment, just like the main infantry brigades in the Eighty Group Army, they also have to use at least a division level with equivalent strength to fight against it. If they fight against its three main infantry divisions, it will be a field army-level battle.

Even if it is an inequality local armed force, at least one infantry squadron should be deployed because the opponent is equipped with a sufficient number of light machine guns and at least 38 rifles.

To put it bluntly, in countless contact battles over the past few years, the Japanese army did not send an infantry brigade and a security barracks to fight for assistance at one time, and they did not dare to step out of the city gate.

As the Japanese army approached, they did not dare to support them. The Japanese army's integrated divisions hundreds of miles away were still lined up. The 4th Division was defeated and rushed 300 miles in three days, leaving all the Hebei region clean.

The Chinese side did not act as a way to kill all the remaining brave generals who pursued the enemy. The regular army quickly entered the city to appease the citizens and liquidated the enemies who surrendered to the city. It was no longer like before, even if the county was conquered, it would only transport the Japanese military supplies and leave. This was obviously a permanent residence.

What he thought was no longer important. What was important was that the Eighty Army had already shown their muscles to the whole Chinese people. After years of dormant, they could push the North China Plain by their own strength and rescue the people in the enemy-occupied areas from the fire.

Due to the recovery of southern Hebei, the US ambassador to China sent a congratulatory message to the senior management of the 80th Army on their outstanding contributions to the eradication of the fascist war.

This is a real congratulation, and it also a warning to some people for some thoughts.

With the Allies landing in Normandy, the Mao Bear Kingdom entered the border of the German Empire from the east. The German Empire was already declining and not far from being defeated. Now the main opponent of the Allies is Japan. In order to end the war as soon as possible, the top leaders of the United States will not care about someone's anger. The enemy's enemy is an ally. In recent years, the Eighty Army has also accepted a lot of arms support from the Americans.

That person is naturally a smart person. He knew that at this critical moment, the Eighty Army dared to show off his muscles, so he naturally grasped the thoughts of the senior American leaders. Those blue eyes would not consider the future of the Chinese, but would only consider themselves.

The biceps deliberately exposed by the Eighty Army made the Mao Bear people who have been strongly supporting China to relieve their pressure in the north quietly change their minds.

The Japanese Army Base Camp was shocked, but at this time they no longer cared about the Chinese theater. The Allied forces had fully occupied Guam. In February 1945, the battle for Iwo Jima was about to be launched, and the troops were aiming to point directly to Okinawa, the closest to Japan's mainland.

The Japanese may not know that the upcoming bloody Battle of Iwo Jima ultimately made the senior American leaders determined to use the fat bomb to solve Japan's will to resist.

The tragic Japan will become the first nation on the planet to enjoy the fat bomb!

However, this time the security brigade battle, as its number one independent regiment, has not moved.

The independent regiment adapted from the Four Army Regiment did not rush to enrich its organization during the few months of returning to Dakouzidong Town to rest and recuperate. Instead, it trained new recruits in battalions and companies, and had no intention of fighting against the outside world.

Perhaps only the senior executives of the Hebei-South Guard Brigade knew that the Independent Regiment could transform into a strong army with an organization of more than 9,000 people at any time.

Because, those recruits who were being trained were selected from the tens of thousands of young people who voluntarily signed up for the army in mid-1943, including Hebei Province, Shanxi Province, Shandong Province and other bases. Their training period has been more than a year, and most of them have even participated in small battles. Rather than training, it is better to say that it is training, which is to quickly integrate with the independent regiment in these few months.

Tang Dao's injury improved a lot one month after returning to Dakouzidong Town. He was able to move freely, but perhaps because of his head injury, he was still recovering from his injuries.

Tang Dao even resigned from the military position of the independent regiment commander and was replaced by Leng Feng. Even the director of the Hebei Administrative Special Administrative Office was still transferred back to the mountain city by the prince and Gongyu. He stayed in Dakouzidong Town every day. When he was free, he either asked his old comrades to drink, or carried his own eldest son and ran around the mountains with his family. He rarely participated in military and political affairs.

This is actually what some people want to see. Now the Eighty Group Army is full of wings. If Tang Dao appears on the battlefield with the independent regiment even more fiercely, it may be like the last straw that overwhelms the camel, causing someone to have some stress reactions, that is not what Tang Dao wants to see.

Tang Dao completely relaxed himself in these few months. He knew very well that it was only half a year before the end of the war. The Independent Regiment also used this time to train veterans and new recruits and adapt to various new equipment.

Infantry equipment is basically the same as the old ones, imitating the assault steps of the five and six submachine guns. The squad machine gun uses a "lawmower", the company-level heavy machine gun uses a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, and the anti-armored weapons are mainly anti-tank rifles. The squad mortars are still 60-force; but the artillery has been updated and completely abandoned the black and clumsy 150-caliber mortars and changed to a Type 64 120-mm mortar.

This mortar has a range of almost 75 mountain cannons, with an effective range of up to 5,000 meters, which generally meets the needs of actual combat. The shells are very suitable for killing personnel. For standing unprotected enemy troops, the killing radius of 120 mm shells is as high as 35 meters; the fastest firing rate of artillery is 15 rounds per minute, which can effectively form firepower coverage, can conduct tactical shelling, and can also cover the group targets.

At the same time, the gun has a certain ability to attack, because the shells are loaded with more than 1 kilogram, which can effectively destroy the enemy's field defense fortifications.

In addition, the weight of this total artillery was reduced to 174 kilograms. After being disassembled into three parts, each part was less than 60 kilograms on average, greatly reducing the weight of the artillery.

Based on the fact that the artillery battalion has basically been completely transformed into mules and horses, a squad of 15 people can carry 90 shells independently, and a 12 artillery squad with heavy force can be independently completed without any logistics. This efficiency is at least twice as efficient as the previous 150 mortars.

The mountain artillery company was completely cut off, replaced by two "Storm" rocket launchers, each equipped with 9 rocket launchers with 9 consecutive shots.

In the Hengyang defense battle, the 9 rocket launchers have proved how fierce their firepower is in actual combat. If two rocket launchers have concentrated on fire, almost no infantry can survive without the protection of the fortifications.

Everyone can only see the four-line group, a ferocious beast that made the Japanese fear, retracted back to the nest and licked the wounds after the war, but they didn't know that the ferocious beast that returned from recuperation would become even more terrifying.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! In the years to come, that person would regret sending the Four-Run Group back to North China, which led to the Taihang Independent Detachment that appeared on the battlefield one year after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Even the famous 74th Division changed its qualities!

Of course, the most unlucky person is not the one who was the one who was the most unlucky. During the Battle of Ice Field, two battalions of the Eighth Regiment of the American Cavalry Division were wiped out, and the major general of the Cavalry Division who had served as chief of staff for Patton only knew that their opponent was that.

It was an infantry division formed by the 3rd Regiment of the Taihang Independent Detachment and the 3rd Battalion of the former Four-Second Regiment. When he first arrived in Yunshan, he directly broke the wrist of the first Cavalry Division, the head of the five major ace divisions of the Mid-English Army.

After Li Jiujin, the then highest commander of the battle, heard about his opponent's name on the battlefield, he said: "He is the trump card, I am the king of the king, the trump card that can defeat the dog god!"

In this battle, both sides used one division to one division. China's most peak light infantry division used its mountain advantages to fight against the heavy armored division of the US Army, annihilated 2,300 enemies at the cost of 1,500 casualties, and directly silenced the five-star general of the United States.

The Chinese not only appeared on the ice field, but also came from the ace troops.

In the past, the Japanese were constantly injured in front of the Chinese ace force. He still thought it was the Japanese. Now he found that it was not how much the Japanese were, but that the ace force was too strong.

But according to the Wei Kingdom’s call for the ice field, it is not just this ace force? The Chinese army, which has been rushing out of a world after 20 years of war tests, may not be ranked in the world at all when talking about equipment, but in terms of combat experience, it can really be ranked in the top three. The so-called ace cannot count with both hands and feet.

Midsummer in August!

On a summer night, the stars in the sky are brilliant, Tang Dao looks up at the sky, his mouth is full of smiles!

"Dad, why are you laughing at?" Tang Shanhe gently shook his father's fingers.

"Shanhe, because I saw your uncles and aunts who died on the battlefield laughing at me." Tang Dao bent down and picked up Tang Shanhe, pointing to the twinkling stars in the sky.

"You have to promise me that no matter how old you are or how far you go in the future, don't forget the uncles and aunts who sacrificed their lives in this war!"

"In the name of the Tang ancestors, Tangshanhe promised his parents that when I grow up, I get married and have a son, I will bring them here to report to them." Tangshanhe formally raised his hand in his father's arms to promise.

"Okay!" Tang Dao kissed his son's little face fiercely.

"By the way, dad, yesterday I seemed to hear Aunt Erya say that Aunt Laura was coming here. My younger brothers and sisters in the kindergarten have not eaten the chocolate that Aunt Laura often sent me. Can you ask Aunt Laura to bring more?" Tang Shanhe felt embarrassed to make his request when he saw that his father was so happy.

Tang Dao's face froze slightly, and he swept from the corner of his eyes to Dan Tai Mingyue, who was sitting and resting and pooping.

Out of the corner of my eyes, my wife looked smiling.

"Laura is here this time just to send the old man and grandma here! I heard that you are pregnant again, and grandma said she must come to take care of you, otherwise she would be sad. You know, without Laura's help, Shanhe's grandparents would not be able to leave Sichuan Province." Tang Datuanzuo, who was stabbed by his precious son, quickly explained.

Who made him suffer this "serious injury" for more than half a year? Since he chose to stay dormant, he was idle too. With the joint efforts of the couple, will he have a small one? He will have a child in another month.

This time I must be a daughter. Tang has even given her name, Tang Jibei.

"I didn't say anything, why are you so excited? Keep staying here and look at the stars and the moon!" Dan Tai Mingyue glanced at her inexplicably guilty husband, and reached out to stand up with the power of the Tang sword.

He looked at Tang Shanhe who was still thinking about the delicious chocolate with a smile: "Shanhe, my mother is tired and goes home. Your grandparents will arrive in a few days. They must have brought you a lot of food."

"Yeah!" Tangshanhe's mouth water flowed down from the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

It was not until a long time before I remembered that my dad hadn't followed him, so I quickly turned around and shouted, "Dad, come and help my mom and sister!"

"Oh, here, here! Wife, be careful, be careful!" Tang Daona ran so fast, carefully holding his wife's arm.

The hammer and Guaiguai who followed behind quickly shook their tails!

I don’t know if the boss means this, but it’s very similar. Let’s help him shake his tail and help him!

The whole play ends!

PS: I finally finished the book. I have been writing it for a long time today and I have been reluctant to let it go, but in the end I still typed the three words "The End of the Play".

There are many things in this book that Feng Yue thinks is very wonderful, but at the same time there are many regrets. Perhaps the story is not as perfect as life. Thanks to the various support from book friends over the past three and a half years. Without your genuine subscription and rewards, Feng Yue would not be able to complete this story of nearly 6 million words. Feng Yue strives to get better in the next book and correct some of the problems that everyone has criticized.

In short, when it is time for this book to say goodbye, Fengyue will update a few chapters in the next 10 days to write some short stories about the characters in the book.
Chapter completed!
