Just when Qiao Youhua and the four of them were secretly sighing at the scale and splendor of this Pantheon Palace, a woman dressed as a waiter came over and said politely to them: "Four, please come with me." ”

A Taoist temple located in the northwest border, located in the remote and barren Kunlun Mountains, has such a scale, it is really worthy of the "home" of the first master in the Chinese martial arts world.

Under the guidance of the waitress, the four of them were arranged in a small courtyard located on the east side of the Taoist temple, and each of them had a room.

Since the departure from the Longya Anti-Japanese Base, Qiao Youhua has lasted more than a month, and it has been less than three days before Lin Xian'er's wedding.

And in the past month, the Longya anti-Japanese base area thousands of miles away has also undergone great changes.

First of all, the expansion of the arsenal has been completed, in addition to the tank and combat vehicle factory established before Qiao Youhua left, as well as supporting steel mills, coal mines and other factories.

An artillery factory for the production of various German army artillery and a machine gun factory for the production of anti-aircraft machine guns and general-purpose machine guns were also successfully established.

These factories are not a single production line, but all supporting factory construction, such as artillery factories, which can not only produce all kinds of artillery, but also produce shells of various calibers and functions required by artillery.

Of course, due to the lack of knowledge and technical personnel, the scale of these factories is very small, and the production capacity is naturally not high.

However, at this moment, the flames of war finally ignited on the Western European continent, and the German army launched a brazen attack on Poland as in the previous history.

The Soviets also took the opportunity to fall into the trap, and the two European powers soon collapsed and divided Poland.

At this time, Germany and the Soviet Union benefited from Qiao Youhua's weapons and equipment design drawings, and both developed or improved more powerful and advanced weapons and equipment, and their overall combat effectiveness was only stronger than in the original history.

On the Polish side, there was no big change from the original history, and in the face of the attack of the German ground armored group, the Polish cavalry troops even brandished their sabers and rode war horses to meet the enemy.

Although it is a good interpretation of the bravery of the cavalry, the tragedy of its battle is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it is completely a one-sided massacre.

‘

From another angle, it can also be seen that the armies of Poland and other countries are far from keeping up with the times in terms of tactical thinking.

At the airfield, the station, the port, were all subjected to the overwhelming bombing air raids of the Luftwaffe, and after being completely paralyzed, the ground armor clusters of the Germans drove all the way into it.

The Poles, who were in chaos in transportation, communication, and command, were naturally powerless to resist, and in just a week or two, they were completely wiped out by the Germans.

Of course, behind this was the troubles of the Soviet Union, who also took the opportunity to occupy some areas in eastern Poland as a buffer zone to prevent the Germans from advancing eastward.

From this point of view, Lao Maozi may not be unwary of the Germans.

To get back to the point, on the side of the Dragon's Tooth Base Area, in addition to the completion of the expansion of the arsenal and the completion of production, the action on recruiting troops has already been put into action.

In addition to a few regimental commanders and deputy regiment commanders and battalion commanders directly under their command, each regiment sent a considerable number of capable middle- and grass-roots officers, as well as a large number of elite veterans, disguised themselves and left their respective base areas from various paths.

They quietly infiltrated the enemy-occupied areas bordering their own base areas, and went to the remote villages where the Japanese puppet army's sphere of activity was weakest in the enemy-occupied areas, and carried out the operation of organizing, recruiting, and creating small guerrilla units.

After so many days, many small guerrilla units have been successfully established, and the two guerrilla units active in the Texas region are the most developed.

The founders of these two guerrillas were none other than Ma Shoutian, who participated in the Dragon's Tooth Column in Magou Town, and Zhou Zhibing, the bald captain of the puppet army who surrendered in the last battle of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

Ma Shoutian joined the Dragon Tooth Column much earlier than Zhou Zhibing, and Zhou Zhibing surrendered with a wave of men and horses, so both of them are now captains and company commanders of the Dragon Tooth Column.

After receiving the order from their superiors, the two of them respectively drew more than a dozen capable elite soldiers from the company and infiltrated the enemy-occupied areas around Texas, with the help of local underground party comrades.

They quickly gained a foothold in the rural areas of Wucheng County and Gucheng County in southwest Texas, and developed rapidly, soon growing from a dozen people at the beginning to sixty or seventy people.

Due to the support of the continuous supply of weapons and ammunition and even military salaries from the Dragon's Tooth Base Area, they continued to attack everywhere, attacking the turrets, pillboxes and checkpoints on the devil's communication line.

These devils and devils scattered along the main transportation routes, where would they have imagined that there would be a group of anti-Japanese armed armed forces armed with British 77 rifles, MG34 general-purpose machine guns, and even grenadiers, mortars, and sufficient ammunition in their defense areas.

These guerrillas are much better armed and equipped than them, hiding in pillboxes and running buildings, and they have become extremely unsafe because the other side has artillery and other offensive weapons.

Therefore, it can be said that it has suffered a big loss, in the words of the remnants of the puppet army who survived and fled back to the county, that is, it has fallen for eight lifetimes of blood mold.

Although the commanders of small guerrilla units such as Ma Shoutian and Zhou Zhibing did not have Qiao Youhua's extraordinary command ability and individual combat ability, they were far stronger than the Japanese puppet army's weaponry and firepower by virtue of logistical supplies without any worries, and they were still able to thrive in enemy-occupied areas.

The devils and the puppet army were frightened, and the transportation links in the jurisdiction were paralyzed everywhere and in a mess.

The high-level devils in the surrounding counties of Dezhou City have all received urgent news from below, and several emergency military meetings have also been held.

However, the feedback received was that almost all the units under their jurisdiction had the activity tracks of anti-Japanese armed forces, and these anti-Japanese armed forces had sprung up overnight as if they had sprung up overnight.

The situation in the defense area of the Texas devils is like a sorghum field that is on fire everywhere, extinguishing this side, and if you can't take care of that side, you can't be busy at all.

Since the last battle of receiving transportation, the devils and puppet troops on the Texas side have also suffered great losses, so they are unable to carry out a unified encirclement and suppression of the active anti-Japanese forces in the subordinate counties under their jurisdiction at the same time.

The situation can only continue to deteriorate in a direction that is not in their favor.

And this situation is not only a special case in Dezhou, but also in Hengshui, Dingzhou and the vast surrounding counties.

Dozens of small guerrilla units of the Dragon's Tooth Column are rapidly growing and growing in the enemy-occupied areas, constantly wreaking havoc in the enemy-occupied areas, and the entire Zhengtai area can be said to be full of wolf smoke and beacon fires, and the devils and puppet soldiers do not even dare to sleep peacefully.
