    But the current Second and Fourth Divisions, in addition to the expansion of the number of troops, have also made great adjustments in equipment.

    The Second Division was originally composed of three brigades, plus a directly subordinate artillery battalion.  The total strength is more than 10,000.

    After half a year, because they recovered Datong and Lingqiu and other areas, it was much easier for them to recruit soldiers than before.  Moreover, the quality of soldiers has also been guaranteed.

    At this time, the number of the Second Division has expanded from more than 10,000 to 35,000.  Although the original three combat brigades still maintain their original organization, their numbers have also increased significantly.

    Each combat brigade has four combat groups of 2,000 people.  At the same time, it is attached to the directly subordinate artillery battalion.

    The Second Division was newly assigned a howitzer regiment, a motorized infantry regiment directly under the division, and a transport brigade of 2,000 people.

    The same is true for the Fourth Division, which has added directly subordinate howitzer regiments. At the same time, each combat brigade is also equipped with small-caliber mountain artillery and field artillery battalions.

    The transportation brigade and motorized infantry regiment have also become the standard equipment of every combat division.

    As for the original garrison division, its garrison scope has also expanded from the original Taibai Mountain to several important passways and cities.

    The size of the security division has also expanded to 30,000 people.  It is usually led by Hao Shiwen, but in wartime it is handed over to Xia Yang's personal command.

    In addition, there are flexible units directly under the command of the military headquarters.

    For example, the original special reconnaissance battalion has been expanded to two to support the reconnaissance work of frontline troops.

    The guard battalion was directly upgraded to a special operations regiment, with a number of 2,000 people.  It has stronger combat capabilities and the ability to perform a variety of tasks.

    The sniper squadron also became a sniper brigade.  At the training base in Mengyuan Ancient City in Taibai Mountain, a large number of snipers who were good enough began to be trained continuously.

    Coupled with the newly formed engineering troops, their troops are already very complete.

    Including various militia groups used for supplementary operations, their actual number of combatants is nearly 200,000 in northwestern Shanxi alone.

    As for the three combat divisions in southern Shanxi, after the expansion is completed, the combat number will reach 100,000.

    After Hao Shiwen finished reading all the information, several Eighth Route Army generals next to him also took a breath of cold air.

    Their development speed is actually very fast, but the development speed of Xia Yang's Fourth Army is even faster than them.

    "Can you tell us the strength of your army participating in the war?" After all the strength of the army was announced, Xia Yang looked at Brigadier Chen and said.

    Brigadier Chen said: "According to the order of the headquarters, all our troops in the entire Shanxi region will be deployed to cooperate with your army in operations.

    The number of people is probably around 300,000. Even excluding the scattered guerrillas, the number of regular army combatants is around 200,000.

    In addition, in terms of logistics, if your army's transportation troops are not enough.  We will fully mobilize the grassroots people and let them participate in the transportation of materials.

    In terms of logistical support, I think we can also exert our own strength.  "

    Xia Yang had no doubts about what General Chen said.

    After all, in the subsequent Battle of Huaihai, the logistics supplies for the million-strong army did not rely on their logistics troops.  Instead, it relied on the broad masses of the people to push it out with carts.

    "Okay, if your army can provide sufficient help to our army in terms of logistics, then this battle will be much easier to fight." Xia Yang said.

    According to Brigadier Chen, they were able to mobilize nearly 300,000 troops in the Shanxi area to participate in this battle.

    Even if a large number of guerrillas are eliminated, there are still 200,000 regular troops.

    Calculating carefully, the total number of troops they can mobilize for this battle to regain Shanxi is already more than 500,000.

    In the past, Xia Yang could not even imagine this.  But no matter how unimaginable things were, they began to slowly become a reality.

    He still clearly remembered that when he sent the first group of people to the Kagel tribe, he had imagined that one day in the future, the army would go south and cooperate with them internally and externally.

    Now they really did it.

    What they have to do now is to regain their homeland and snatch Shanxi back from the Japanese invaders.

    After both sides knew about the forces participating in the war, Xia Yang asked Staff Officer Hao to start distributing the Japanese army¡¯s intelligence.Go down.

    This is about the Japanese garrison strength, as well as the unit numbers and even the timetable for defense changes, which can be seen here.

    This is the information that the ANBU and the reconnaissance teams of various units spent nearly half a year gathering bit by bit through various methods.

    Taken together, we can basically understand the Japanese defense situation in Shanxi at this time.

    After everyone finished reading the information, Hao Shiwen unfolded a huge map on the wall.

    On this map, all the locations where the Japanese troops were stationed are marked in detail.  Even some small strongholds are marked on it.

    "Yanmen Pass and Fanzhi County are two areas that the Japanese army has focused on defending in order to cope with our army's possible southward attack."

    The baton in Xia Yang's hand drew a circle on Yanmen Pass and Fanzhi County.

    "Our army's armored troops and automobile troops want to smoothly enter the Jinzhong area. They cannot pass through the surrounding mountains, but can only pass through Yanmen Pass and Fanzhi County." Xia Yang said.

    "The total strength of the Japanese troops stationed in these two areas is a full integrated division, including many armored units. There are hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles in total.

    In addition, they also mobilized many large-caliber artillery and many larger-caliber anti-tank guns.

    ?Specially designed to deal with our armored forces.  "Hao Shiwen added.

    "So, it is no longer realistic to use our armored forces to form an absolute advantage over the Japanese army. We also need to think about how to annihilate more Japanese troops at the minimum cost." Xia Yang said.
