Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

After listening to this, Zeng Jiwen laughed out loud, "Old Wang, tell Old Chen about the configuration of our regiment." Old Chen was confused, but after listening to Wang Zhuo's explanation, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

"You are so good, Zeng Jiwen. I am right. You are really a local rich man. My regiment cannot catch up with your battalion. No wonder you dared to encircle and annihilate the 108th Division last time." Old Chen said with envy.

"Before I entered Jin, I asked you to increase the firepower configuration at the regimental level, but you did it long ago." Zeng Jiwen said angrily. Old Chen rolled his eyes after hearing this and said, "Who is as bold as you? You dared to set your sights on the Zhengtai line and actually took it down."

"But the Flying Thunder Cannon you gave me last time worked quite well. Although my regiment currently lacks heavy weapons, it's still got enough guns."

"With the ammunition you gave me this time, I can still take Changzhi and Jincheng. I heard at the headquarters that you wrote a new set of training tactics, and I heard that the effect is quite good. If I hadn't been busy expanding the troops below, I would have gone to the headquarters to take a look." Old Chen said with a smile.

"No problem. After this battle is over, we will be neighbors. You can then send a regiment of people over to learn from us, and you will understand. Otherwise, even if it is just one regiment, I dare to face an entire Japanese regiment with one regiment!" Zeng Jiwen waved his hand.

"That's easy. After the battle, I'll go to the weapons factory myself and ask you to bring out your good stuff," Old Chen said happily. "No problem. As long as it's something you like, I won't say much, but at least I'll let you equip it first." Zeng Jiwen waved his hand, immediately causing everyone to laugh.

Afterwards, everyone talked about what had happened recently and Zeng Jiwen's prediction of the upcoming situation. They told Lao Chen to take advantage of the break in the second half of the year to quickly expand and train the troops. Otherwise, after the Japanese army recovered, they would definitely attack the southeastern Shanxi region again, and Jincheng would probably be in for a fierce battle at that time.

Old Chen immediately took note of the information and jokingly told Zeng Jiwen that he would make sure he was the goalkeeper, which made everyone laugh. Zeng Jiwen then took Old Chen to test the rocket launcher he had brought. Excited, Old Chen slapped his thigh and said that it was tailor-made for the Eighth Route Army and that the Japanese fortresses and artillery towers would no longer be able to hold them back.

Zeng Jiwen then reminded Lao Chen of the precautions for using the rocket launcher, and asked him to keep it confidential to prevent it from being captured by the Japanese army. After all, if it was leaked one day later, it would cause greater casualties to the Japanese army.

When Old Chen heard Zeng Jiwen's instructions, he reacted instantly and took it to heart. Zeng Jiwen looked at Old Chen and nodded, feeling relieved. After all, Old Chen's skills were still there, which made Zeng Jiwen feel much more at ease.

After Zeng Jiwen handed the supplies and ammunition to Lao Chen, the two said goodbye. After all, the war was tense at the time and the Japanese army would soon launch a large-scale attack. They both needed to go back and make arrangements quickly, and there was not much time to reminisce.

After returning to the brigade headquarters, Zeng Jiwen and others discussed the matter and decided to let Zhou Shi organize grassroots and local groups and militias in Yangquan, Shijiazhuang and Xingtai to cover the evacuation of villagers in villages along the way of the Japanese army, as well as to recapture the county town after the war.

Deng Xie and Wu Lin were responsible for the Yushe area in Shouyang, while Huang Hanjia and Liu Ming were responsible for the Wu'an area in Wuxiang, Licheng, and Wu'an.

At the same time, a sneak attack plan was formulated. Before the Japanese attack, 12 107mm rocket launchers were divided into two parts, accompanied by a special operations brigade, and people from brother units were contacted to prepare to start destroying the Japanese Taiyuan, Shijiazhuang, and Handan airports.

Since a 107 rocket launcher can fire 12 heavy shells in one round, and its range is 8 to 10 kilometers, whether it is Taiyuan Airport near Jincheng, Shijiazhuang Airport, or Handan Airport, they can all find hidden locations to carry out long-range artillery strikes.
