"Slow down... Car No. 035, slow down the fuck... There is a rock ditch ahead. Do you want to pick up stones in it? Believe it or not, if you keep driving forward, I will let you go to the medical brigade. Clean the women’s bathroom for a month!”
Li Changan's furious voice sounded in the headset. At this time, Li Changan was riding in a No. 4 tank, with half of his body exposed. He was wearing a boat-shaped soft hat on his head and an earphone on his hood, facing an assault vehicle. The Lynx light tank in front yelled.
After more than a month of intense training, the armored battalion finally formed an army.
Although Gao Hongming has tried his best to assign recruits with a certain cultural foundation to armored battalions when selecting soldiers, it is understandable how difficult it is to create a brand new unit from scratch.
Although the armored battalion has been training for more than a month, problems have arisen one after another during the period.
Either two tanks collided and were damaged during training today, or a driver rushed into a ditch on the side of the road while driving a tank. What's worse, some gunners even accidentally fired and almost lost the fuel. The library was blown up.
Li Changan felt that he had already spent more than half a month worrying about everything he should worry about in the rest of his life.
There was dust everywhere on the road, and the roar of engines could be heard in the ears. The armored battalion, which had finished its training for the day, was on its way back to the camp.
Li Changan retracted his head into the tank and closed the lid.
After a day of training, even as strong as he was, his whole body felt sore and uncomfortable. Now, all he wanted to do was return to the camp, take a good bath, eat a full meal and then fall asleep.
It's a pity that he also knows that this is just a luxury wish. As a battalion commander, he still has a lot to do. Fill out the training form, call all the vehicle commanders together for a meeting to discuss today's training, and check the wear and tear of the vehicles. Preparing for tomorrow's training and so on.
"Sigh... If I had only known that I would have stayed in the first battalion and hung out with the old battalion commander Wu Chengfeng, I wouldn't have to be as tired as a dog every day like now."
Li Changan secretly regretted it. If he hadn't been instigated by his regiment leader, he wouldn't have agreed to be the commander of this armored battalion. He really regretted it.
Li Changan, who was sitting in the tank, did not know that in a mountain col not far from him, two pairs of eyes were open and silently observing the armored battalion that had just returned to the camp after training.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, when all the armored battalion teams passed by, two people emerged from the grass.
These two people are all wearing the clothes of ordinary people, but they are different from the vast majority of malnourished Chinese people in this era. Although these two people are short in stature, they are exceptionally strong and have quite fierce expressions. But now there is something in their eyes. panic.
"idiot!"
One person suddenly cursed.
"When did the Chinese army in Shanxi actually have tank troops, and they are all heavy tanks? Am I dazzled?"
"No... Nishino-kun, it's not your eyesight, it's the fact."
Another man holding a camera waved the camera in his hand with a gloomy expression, "We have to go back quickly, develop the photos immediately and report it to the Commander. We must make sure the higher ups take it seriously."
Two days later, Yamamoto Kazuki, who was called to the headquarters office by Yoshio Shinozuka, looked at the photo in his hand and exclaimed, "This is impossible. How could the Jinsui Army have tanks?"
"Unfortunately." Yoshio Shinozuka stared at him: "This is all true. These photos were taken by special high-tech agents in the suburbs of Liantai County, just two days ago."
Yamamoto Kazuki raised his head suddenly: "You mean..."
"Yes." Yoshio Shinozuka looked extremely solemn, "You are right, the strength of that Chinese man has grown more and more, and now it has threatened the Imperial Japanese Army around Liantai County.
After identification by the intelligence department, these are all German products, and they are all the latest German tanks."
"How could this happen?" Kazuki Yamamoto's face was filled with disbelief. "All the seaports of China are firmly controlled by the empire. Where did these chariots enter the interior of China? There are easily dozens or twenty of them.
A ton heavy tank is not a pistol you can just stuff into your clothes!"
"No one from the U.S. Department of Science and Technology can answer this question. They can only say that they will try their best to investigate."
Yamamoto Kazuki frowned: "We reported on the street intelligence a few days ago that Gao Hongming has recently begun to recruit people aggressively.
Although they are still in the name of a militia, their number has reached six to seven thousand, which is equivalent to the strength of a brigade.
If he continues to develop like this, the threat to the empire will become greater and greater."
"I've thought about this issue too."
Yoshio Shinozuka said slowly: "According to the deduction of the staff, if you want to eliminate Gao Hongming and his militia, the empire must use at least two brigades and more troops. If you include the cover and feint attack troops,
Increase the strength of at least two brigades.
At present, the empire's military forces in the pass are mainly concentrated in Changsha, Hunan, and Shanxi's First Army alone cannot launch a new round of large-scale offensive against the Chinese."
"idiot!"
Yamamoto Kazuki cursed bitterly. He never expected that the small militia group with only a few hundred members at the beginning would develop to this extent in less than half a year. It was like a snowball.
At this time, Yamamoto Kazuki had a sudden thought: "Your Excellency, Commander, since we are temporarily unable to mobilize large forces to encircle and suppress them, can we send planes to blow up their tanks?"
"Well..."
Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head at first, but then thought for a moment: "It's not impossible to send out planes for air strikes, but I have to discuss it with Colonel Fujino Shigeharu."
More than two months have passed, and all the lost aircraft and pilots of the 21st Flying Group have been replaced, so Yoshio Shinozuka and Kazuki Yamamoto started their idea again.
It's just that although Army Aviation is under the jurisdiction of the Army, they have a relatively high degree of freedom. There are some things that even the commander Yoshio Shinozuka cannot directly issue orders, but uses a relatively mild negotiation tone.
After finishing speaking, Yoshio Shinozuka had a sudden thought, "Yamamoto-kun, can your special agent team conduct a long-distance attack on Gao Hongming, quietly lurk in Liantai County, and conduct a beheading operation on Gao Hongming or his family members?"
"It might have been possible before, but now it's no longer possible."
Kazuki Yamamoto smiled bitterly and shook his head, "To be honest, I have not been idle during this period. I specially sent people to Liantai County for investigation. Today's Liantai County is completely different from before.
Gao Hongming attaches great importance to his family. Now all the city defenses around Liantai County have been taken over by his militia. Not only that, he has also stationed a security force of hundreds of people around his home. Unless it is a storm, otherwise
