In the armored training camp, these armored recruits experienced one of the most difficult physical training in their lives, and the instructors of the Imperial Army were almost strict with the recruits, and after every day of training, everyone would be exhausted and exhausted, and immediately after falling into bed, they would sleep like a dead dog.

After completing three months of training in the training camp, the unit from Central Asia will return to the Dnieper front.

The armored divisions of the Imperial Army are divided into two types: heavy armored divisions and light armored divisions, the armored divisions under the jurisdiction of the 1st to 5th armies and the three Praetorian Guard armies formed by the Imperial Army are heavy armored divisions, and the armored divisions of the rest of the armies are light armored divisions, and the difference between the two is the number of tanks equipped.

A heavy armoured division generally consists of two tank regiments and one armored infantry regiment, while a light armored division generally consists of one tank regiment and two armored infantry regiments.

The tank regiment has three tank battalions and one armored infantry battalion with a total of 112 tanks and 38 armored infantry fighting vehicles. The armoured infantry regiment has one tank battalion and two armoured infantry battalions, with 42 tanks and 72 armoured infantry fighting vehicles. Heavy armoured divisions generally have a strength of 315 tanks, while light armoured divisions generally have only 204 tanks. After the Imperial Army abolished the cavalry establishment, the original 1st to 9th Cavalry Divisions were also reorganized into light armored divisions, and the Northern Heavy Army Group, which originally had cavalry divisions, such as the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 1st and 1st armies, became heavy armored clusters with two armored divisions.

Nowadays, the monthly production of tanks in China has increased to 1,500 units, and now the main factor restricting the combat in the European theater is the problem of logistics and transportation, especially the armored troops, which need about three times as much equipment and supplies as ordinary infantry divisions, fortunately, the oil required by the mechanized troops is supplied by the oil fields of Central Asia and Siberia, otherwise such a huge logistics can not be fully guaranteed by only two railways and a few roads.

Under the scorching autumn sun, the faint green smoke quickly dissipated.

The crisp sound of gunfire was a little dull in the empty wilderness, and the echo pierced through the sky. The air with the heat was mixed with the smell of gunsmoke, some choking, some drowsy.

On the ground lay dozens of recruits who had just been added to the company, these soldiers had their shoulders against the butts of their guns, tilted their heads, closed their left eyes and carefully aimed at the targets placed in front of them, and with the command of the non-commissioned officer next to them shouted viciously, their fingers moved slightly, the trigger was pulled, and with a bang, the bullet in the chamber of the gun flew out.

Lying on the ground for a long time under the scorching sun of the Kuban steppe had already made these fighters miserable, and now the humanoid moving target was laughing at these "rookies", frustrating the recruits who had been feeling good.

"Are you hitting the air? The movements should be relaxed, and the one of the Bethes is the same as wood. Preparation...... Fire! Ling Kaiyue carried a short stick in his hand, walking back and forth behind these recruit soldiers, and kept making vicious mockery at these "rookies". After more than a year and a half of war, his face was tanned and his words were extremely rude, much like those rude shepherds on the steppe.

In the summer, the 4th Mountain Army was urgently transferred from the Middle East theater to the lower Don region to maintain the Tang State's crumbling defense line here. In general, the battlefield here was relatively quiet for the time being, and after the retreat of the Imperial Army from the Dnieper line, the battle against the East Frankish army never stopped.

After packing up the recruits, Ling Kaiyue walked towards the company's camp.

"Hey, have you heard, the new tanks equipped by the division have been transported to Volga City, and we will use the same tanks as the 13th Army." Lu Yongjiang, the third squad leader, walked from the direction of the office building of the base, and said a little mysteriously when he saw everyone.

"Beautiful you, we are raised by our stepmother, I don't know who those things are for, when will it be our turn." At the beginning, the mountain army was shelled in the trenches every day, fighting the enemy face to face with small arms, and looking at the new tanks and armored vehicles equipped with brother units with red eyes.

After finally retiring from the front line to rest and recuperate, the newly formed army groups had just been replaced with 7.5 mm Type 03 semi-automatic rifles of the unified system of the Imperial Army, and so far the mountain troops did not have any heavy equipment.

In this way, the firepower is far weaker than that of the enemy, and everyone has had enough of the days of fear on the battlefield.

"Come on, old Lu, don't talk in your dreams in the middle of nowhere." Qin Jiaming stuffed the gnawed melon peel between the tires of the off-road vehicle mischievously, stood up and knocked on a Type 92 tank behind him, "It's good that we can pick up some things that people don't want." ”

The veterans who were not in good shape laughed, these soldiers who came down from the battlefield had experienced too much life and death, and what military appearance and military discipline had long been left behind, and they had withdrawn to the rear, and the recruits who had just been added to the army were also very loose, and the officers had nothing to do about this situation, so they had to turn a blind eye.

"I just heard what Staff Officer Liu said at the regiment headquarters, and now the tank is being unloaded at the station, believe it or not, whoever dares to bet with me will call everyone to gather in a while." Lu Yongjiang stomped his feet and said.

There have been rumors that the 4th Mountain Army may be reorganized into the Marine Corps, but there has been no substantive action.

Lu Yongjiang was discussing the amount of gambling money with a few people, and the company commander Luo Qi blew a whistle on the side, "Assemble, gather in the playground immediately!" Luo Qi shouted loudly as he whistled.

A light rain was falling in the sky, and next to the platform in the center of the city of the Volga estuary, the 11th Mountain Division began to receive their first batch of armored equipment. Ling Kaiyue stood in the crowd, carefully examining the dozens of newly arrived tanks on the flatbed train, although the appearance of these tanks was very similar to the Type 98 Shepherd Dog tank, but it was different from the Type 98 tanks they were familiar with, and the appearance was larger.

"Why not a Type 02 tank?" The veterans' hearts were full of questions.

Although the Type 98 Shepherd Dog tank of the Equipment Department of the Army Armored Forces has good firepower and maneuverability, this 28-ton tank exposes the weakness of weak defense and poor survival performance on the battlefield, while the Type 02 Tiger tank has very few losses on the battlefield, which is a feared existence for the East Frankish armored troops.

While the East Frankish Kingdom was copying the Type 02 tank, the Imperial Army chose to equip a large number of new Type 06 Hound tanks, which can be seen as a strengthened version of the Shepherd Dog or a weakened version of the Tiger.

Despite its advantages in terms of resources and technology, the production of the 50-ton Tiger tank was not able to meet the requirements, so from the beginning of the year, a large number of Hound tanks began to be equipped with the Imperial Army.

For this reason, the Army Equipment Department was scolded by the officers and men on the front line as "black-hearted miscellaneous people who turn back the clock of history......
