Although the Japanese people are attracted by the enthusiasm of their country's education, they are not all brainless. Facing the current situation, they were so confident in the past, but now they are so pessimistic and lost.

In particular, the officers and soldiers of these local garrisons are all reservists who have been recruited for who knows how many rounds. They are no better than those young people, and they are all raising families.

Once they die in battle, what will happen to their wives and children? At their age, they have long passed the age of showing off their strength and courage, and many things they consider are very realistic.

Now that he is more than half his age, the importance of loyalty to the emperor has long been replaced by his wife, children, hot bed, er, tatami.

In short, these Japs in the garrison really don't have much fighting spirit. If they could run away, they would have run away long ago.

Those who abandoned the defense area without authorization and were required to go to court-martial when they returned are now completely deterred by military law, so they will be stationed here honestly.

However, they have not taken a step out of the county seat and stronghold. They are now hiding in the county seat and stronghold. They are all a group of uncles and child soldiers. Although the quality of life is a bit worse, it is better to not move anywhere than anything else.

powerful.

Now that the Japs in the entire Xincheng area have become honest and Wang Zhengyi has sued for peace, it will be much easier to deal with other traitors, big and small.

Of course, the Japanese and puppet troops would not be completely honest, it was just a series of temporary reactions after Li Jianfeng's troops were eliminated.

The Japanese deeply felt that with the current strength of the imperial army, without the cooperation of local snakes like the puppet army, they would face a very big dilemma.

So the Japanese quickly allocated a sum of funds and weapons to reorganize the puppet troops in order to fill the gaps in the troops around the new city as soon as possible.

The devils are now in extremely difficult circumstances, and they are risking their lives in order to mobilize this amount of funds and weapons and equipment.

The Japanese integrated the puppet troops around the new city to form a group army. Of course, the puppet army's group army was terrifyingly large. In fact, it was only composed of the two puppet troops of Wang Zhengyi and Huang Haohai, plus about one regiment of newly formed puppet troops.

.

The total strength is less than 4,000 people. I don’t know if people think this group army is quite scary. In fact, a group army of the puppet army is equivalent to the establishment of a division.

Although the establishment is large, the scale is small, but in terms of quality, this puppet army is quite good. At least it is a new force formed by some of the escaped puppet troops from Li Jianfeng's department, plus Wang Zhengyituan and Huang Haohai.

group.

Now after this reorganization, all the uniforms have been changed into Wang Puppet military uniforms. Except for slight differences, the military uniforms are almost exactly the same as those of the Central Army.

Generally speaking, this puppet army at least shows that it looks like it is possible, and it is quite similar. It is just a question of how it will turn out in actual combat.

However, the reorganized Fifth Army of the Puppet Army could not compare with Li Jianfeng's period in terms of strength and equipment.

However, after these puppet troops were formed, they were able to help the Japanese to defend towns and several large strongholds, and they also went to the countryside to collect some food and improve the food standards of the imperial army.

Therefore, these puppet troops are similar to the Japanese, they rarely go out to fight. However, although this group of puppet troops do not dare to go out easily, they are still somewhat arrogant.

The backbone of this puppet army were all dispatched from North China, and they were also related to the upper echelons of the Wang puppet.

After all, the Japs at this time need to use external forces to make some concessions in terms of military power. The military power of this puppet army is directly commanded by the Japs and belongs to Wang Puppet.

Therefore, these puppet generals still have a sense of arrogance, because in theory they are on equal footing with the Japanese, and we are just friendly forces.

Moreover, they clearly looked down upon the current Japs who were all old men and child soldiers, and they did not take the Eighth Route Army outside the city seriously at all.

If the Japanese were not afraid that they would be beaten up by the Eighth Route Army when they went out, and that they would become toothless tigers and would not agree to their going to the countryside to raid, maybe they would actually take the initiative to attack.

Obviously, these puppet soldiers did not get along well with the local traitors, and he looked down upon the puppet army officers who were born as local bumpkins.

In particular, those puppet army officers who were released by Zhang Yunfei were basically demoted and used for no serious evil, and a group of officers brought by him were promoted as a general trend.

Such actions created great conflicts within the puppet army. As for Wang Zhengyi, who was appointed as deputy commander, he was even more lazy to deal with these sticks.

In Wang Zhengyi's view, these guys are worse than Li Jianfeng. Naturally, he is too lazy to play tricks on them and has no interest in talking nonsense with them.

Now that he has reached Nanhengyan, and with his sealing of the river, they are all connecting channels to the south. At this time, he is eager to develop southward.

He could now see that with the current situation, Xincheng was about to become dominated by the Eighth Route Army. Although they could barely suppress the Eighth Route Army in terms of military strength, foreign aid would come in at any time.

Therefore, the best thing to do is to go south and stay away from the core area of ​​​​Eight Roads. This is the wisest principle. As for the new city, just leave these sticks to the trouble.

By messing around like this, they could attract a lot of attention to him, so it was not completely useless.

Of course, it is not easy for him to develop southward. After all, Huang Haohai, who is heading south, is only his ally. Everyone has the same goal, so there is nothing to say.

But if I want to further develop the relationship and make it irreconcilable, I don't know how to react. It's really a headache. He is a pacifist, and I really don't want him to do anything disharmonious.

The world is tough, why don't we all stick together to keep each other warm? Why bother to separate each other?

The puppet army has launched such a large-scale battle, but there are many internal conflicts and there are no major actions at present. This makes Zhang Yunfei feel relieved.

This allows him to concentrate on the training and development of the troops.

Currently, the regiment has eight infantry companies and one firepower company. However, the regiment suffered heavy casualties in the last battle and has not fully recovered so far.

According to Zhang Yunfei's plan, the number of infantry companies in the entire regiment was increased to ten, and the strength of the regiment was to reach the standard regiment size.

According to the current situation, it won't take long for the New Ninth Regiment to resume its third-battalion organization, so he has to make preparations in advance.

Otherwise, when the time comes to expand suddenly, it will take a long time to form combat effectiveness. It is better to prepare in peacetime.

Although this is a bit on the sidelines, this is what capable troops do.

Be ready at any time, don't play empty-handed, the war will not wait slowly, and the troops must be maintained at their peak no matter what time.
