Heavy armored regiment!

Everyone was immediately excited when they heard this.

You know, in this era, there is almost no decent armored regiment in the entire Chinese country, and now our own division commander even said that a heavy armored regiment will be formed in the future.

What exciting news!

"Division commander!"

Wu Qianli was instantly very excited and said in surprise: "If my third regiment can also become a heavy armored regiment in the future, then I will not be afraid even if I encounter the Japanese division at that time!"

"Of course!"

Lu Zhixian smiled and nodded.

"Division commander!"

At this time, Wang Chengzhu hurriedly said: "Can you introduce us to the weapons here? I don't recognize many of them."

This remark quickly attracted the approval of the people around.

"No problem!"

Lu Zhixian naturally smiled and agreed.

Soon.

He introduced the weapons and equipment in front of everyone, such as carbines, submachine guns, howitzers, self-propelled artillery, etc. Some of them were already familiar to everyone present, and some had never been seen before. After hearing about the powerful performance of these firearms, everyone felt particularly excited.

"So powerful!"

Even Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

"Division Commander!"

Han Shaogong couldn't wait and asked hurriedly: "What kind of tanks are these?"

There were more than 20 tanks parked not far away. The appearance of these tanks was somewhat similar to Sherman, but their size was slightly smaller. Obviously, they should be in the category of light tanks, but the sharp appearance still gave people a strong sense of oppression, especially the huge scale made it even more powerful!

"This is the M24 Chaffee light tank!"

"M24 Chaffee?"

"Yes!"

Lu Zhixian had expected that everyone would not recognize this thing, so he quickly introduced it: "This is also a kind of light tank secretly developed by the United States. Its combat weight is about 18 tons, almost half of the M4 Sherman, and the armor thickness is only between 12-38mm. Compared with various main battle tanks, it is indeed not good enough, but among many light tanks, it is definitely the most powerful. It is not only equipped with a 75mm caliber main gun, but also has a very fast off-road speed and extremely superior comprehensive performance. It may be a bit difficult to deal with main battle tanks, but it is definitely easy to deal with various mobile firepower or anti-tank guns!"

The M24 Chaffee light tank is a product of the late World War II. It was not officially put into service until 1944, but once it was launched, it won the favor of many armored forces with its powerful performance.

"So powerful?"

"Of course!"

Lu Zhixian smiled and nodded, saying: "Although these are light tanks, they would not be very effective against various medium tanks in the West, but the Japanese tanks are all thin-skinned tanks. In terms of performance, even their Type 97 tanks are completely inferior to these light tanks in front of us. Besides, we have the M4 Hillman, which is enough to destroy their main armor in a head-on confrontation, and these light tanks are to support mobility."

"So that's it!"

Everyone suddenly understood.

Han Shaogong looked at the tanks in front of him and said excitedly: "Division Commander! There are 25 light tanks and 6 medium tanks here. Counting the 17 M4 Hillman medium tanks previously deployed, our armored regiment has a total of 48 tanks, which is definitely enough to form a standard tank battalion!"

"That's right!"

Chen Feng also said excitedly: "One medium tank company and two light tank companies, if they charge, the Japanese armored forces will not be able to stop them at all! If more than a hundred armored vehicles are added, the firepower of the entire armored regiment will definitely reach an extremely terrifying level!"

Everyone present was ecstatic.

No one expected that the Tiger Independent Division would actually form an armored regiment.

"Okay!"

Lu Zhixian was excited and soon said seriously: "All weapons and equipment have been deployed as promised, and now my Tiger Independent Division has completely completed the replacement of all American weapons. The cold winter is coming, and now it's time for you to show your strength. You must form combat capabilities in the shortest time!"

"Yes, division commander!"

Everyone immediately took the order.

"Report!"

At this time, the transport officer who spoke earlier said again: "All supplies have been delivered. Can the old supplies be delivered to my team now?"

"No problem!"

Lu Zhixian nodded.

Since all the weapons and equipment seized from the devils were exchanged for the system, he certainly had no reason to refuse at this time.

Soon.

All the devil equipment piled in the warehouse was escorted onto the car, and the entire convoy slowly left in the distance.

In the next few days.

Except for the new recruits who were frantically undergoing various basic trainingIn addition to training, the existing members of the entire Tiger Independent Division are also constantly exploring various new weapons.

The combat effectiveness is also madly improved in such training.

Somewhere.

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

"Great!"

Everyone present was excited.

With the crazy attacks of various units under his command during this period, the entire raid has achieved an unprecedented major victory.

"Chief!"

Even the usually calm chief of staff seemed very excited at this time, and said with a smile: "In this raid, we launched continuous attacks in various parts of Shanxi Province, destroyed a large number of transportation lines and destroyed a lot of Japanese mobile forces. This battle can be said to have achieved the most brilliant record since entering Shanxi Province. Now people all over the country are also discussing our achievements!"

"This battle is really refreshing!"

The commander-in-chief couldn't help but smile and said: "In the past, we could only fight guerrilla warfare. After this attack, it really hit the Japanese's arrogance in North China and greatly encouraged the momentum of the entire war of resistance. However, although we won a great victory in this battle, it also exposed many problems, such as the tactical coordination of various units, lack of firepower, etc. These need to be vigilant."

"That's right!"

The chief of staff nodded in surprise and said: "Although our combat effectiveness has improved rapidly in the past two years, the equipment of each unit is very backward after all, especially in terms of heavy firepower, which is really far behind the Japanese. Alas, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the Tiger Guard Division. If we could have the firepower of Lu Zhixian, let alone the Japanese garrison in Shanxi Province, even the hundreds of thousands of Japanese in North China would not be enough. "

"How is the Tiger Guard Division doing recently?"

"Lu Zhixian took advantage of the great victory to capture several counties around Heyuan County. Now he is recruiting soldiers. Given his popularity among the people, his troops should be fully staffed now!"

"This development speed is really too fast!"

Even if The commander-in-chief couldn't help but be amazed and said, "He has only established this unit for more than half a year, and now it's already a division! Although he has now joined the National Government, he is still an anti-Japanese force after all, and he seemed to have a good relationship with Li Yunlong's regiments before. Let's do this, find someone to exchange ideas, at least we can learn some combat experience. Besides that - I have a hunch that we may face a more crazy counterattack from the devils in the near future. If we can fight the enemy together in the future, it will be beneficial to both sides."
