Chapter 45
Time passed quickly, and the snow on the ground melted quickly. Because Zhao Wenbin had increased the intensity of the training of the troops, although the soldiers were as tired as dogs every day, they were still able to hold on with a large amount of meat.
As for the results of the training, there was naturally no need to talk about them. It was said that marksmanship was fed by bullets. This saying was not wrong. A rifleman had to fire 120 training bullets a day. Their marksmanship was simply improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The combat quality of the other troops was also rapidly improving. In addition, the recruitment of troops had not stopped and was still continuing. The various infantry regiments had suffered losses previously. As the new recruits started to become more qualified, they were also replenished into the various infantry regiments.
Those who were injured had also begun to return to the team with the increase in food and so on.
On the 16th of March, the infantry regiments that were previously incomplete were now full again. The 8th Infantry Regiment was also full for the first time under such circumstances.
Food and meat from the United States also continued to arrive at the port of Vladimir. In addition, Wang Shuming bought food in the United States. This time, Zhao Wenbi took out ten tons of gold to buy food and twenty tons of gold to buy meat.
In Zhao Wenbin's words, I don't lack money. I'll buy it! Buy whatever you lack!

On March 18th, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army Infantry Regiment took the train to Dunhua County according to Zhao Wenbin's order to destroy a Japanese squadron in Dunhua County. Their target was New Capital. The Japanese army's infantry regiment and the New Capital's garrison, a total of more than 5,000 people, immediately went on alert and began to gather around the New Capital to prevent the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army from attacking the New Capital.
The 20th division in Haer Bin had also received orders from the Kwantung Army headquarters to immediately head south to protect New Capital.
On March 19th, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Infantry Regiment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army began to take the train north and take the Middle East railway to Haer Bin.
March 21st, Ha Er Bin was recovered by the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army.
3rd month, 26th day, the 5th Infantry Regiment recovered Crane City. Perhaps when I said Crane City, many people didn't know where it was, but if it was changed to the name of the future, I believe many people would know. He City was later called Qiqihar.
At this point, the southeast and southwest areas of the Hei Long River were recovered by the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army, blocking the Japanese army from continuing to enter the Hei Long River, and the Hei Long River became Zhao Wenbin's meat.
On March 27th, the remaining troops of the Japanese First Division, Second Division, and Fourth Division all rushed to Fengtian from Japan. At this point, the Japanese army had three full-fledged divisions in the northeast.
The 1st and 2nd divisions were the best of the best, each with a total of more than 30,000 soldiers. With the addition of the 20th Division, the Japanese army had more than 100,000 soldiers in the northeast.
3rd month 28th day, Fengtian Guandong Army Headquarters ordered the 1st and 2nd divisions to split into two groups and approach Mudanjiang and Haer Bin.
3rd month, 29th day, Zhao Wenbin ordered the infantry regiment to immediately abandon Dunhua County and return to Mudanjiang. At the same time, the training intensity of the new recruits in the new barracks increased again. Zhao Wenbin hoped that he could form more troops to deal with the upcoming war.
.................
April 12th, Mudanjiang, Northeast Anti-Japanese Army Headquarters
"The Japanese 1st Division has arrived at Ning An County, only 30 kilometers away from our army. Additionally, according to the information I received, the Japanese 1st Division brought four infantry regiments, three cavalry regiments, one field artillery regiment, and one heavy artillery regiment.
In addition, they also brought along a chariot regiment. Together with their division, they had a total of about 31,000 people. In addition, they also had a heavy artillery division, which was on standby in Fengtian for some reason.”
After Zhou Da finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Wenbin. The 1st Division was one of the divisions that the Japanese army had exceeded their full strength. Although the other divisions of the Japanese army were not fully formed and did not have complete weapons and equipment, only their Guards Division, 1st Division, and the other five divisions were full. These were the seven real horse divisions of the Japanese army and also the seven divisions with the strongest combat strength.
Zhao Wenbin took a deep breath. He knew that the Japanese army did not bring another heavy artillery division. It was probably because the 1st division had received an emergency order from Muto Shingi, so they did not bring it in an emergency. Even so, the Japanese army's 1st division was already very powerful.
"Everyone, are you afraid of the incoming Japanese army?”
Zhao Wenbin looked at the generals sitting below and smiled.
"Supreme commander, we are not afraid! Isn't it just tens of thousands of Japanese? There were so many Japanese people before, but we weren't afraid!”
Li Ergou looked at the commander and said fearlessly.
Zhao Wenbin rolled his eyes at him, but there was still a hint of admiration in his eyes. Now, they needed this kind of fearlessness, didn't they?
The others were also unwilling to be outdone and began to shout loudly.
After a while, Zhao Wenbin pressed his hands down and looked at everyone seriously. The others stopped talking and looked at Zhao Wenbin.
"Everyone, that's what I'm saying. We can look down on the enemy strategically, but we must pay attention to the enemy tactically. Now, let me tell you how strong the cannons of the 1st division are.
From what I know, the 1st division has brought a heavy artillery regiment and a field artillery regiment. They are equipped with 24 75mm field artillery, 24 105mm light howitzers, and 12 150mm heavy howitzers.
Currently, our army has a lot of cannons, but the largest caliber is only a 75mm field cannon. The 75mm field artillery was inferior to the Japanese 105mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers in terms of power and range.
Therefore, I have decided to establish a heavy artillery regiment.”
When Zhao Wenbin said this, he looked at Qian Mingxue, who was sitting below. There was a big gap between the training of heavy artillery soldiers and the training of 75mm field artillery soldiers. Previously, Zhao Wenbin had also started training, but he had only trained the first batch. After that, he handed this task to Qian Mingxue and let him take charge of this matter.
Actually, he had no choice. He had a lot of things to do, so he looked at Qian Mingxue now.
"Qian Mingxue, how many heavy artillery soldiers have you trained? How many heavy artillery regiments can you form?"
