"A battalion of 4 companies, a total of 2 Avengers, 3 Avengers, 72 Tomahawk tanks. There are 21 tanks in the tank company directly under the tank regiment headquarters, with a total of 165 tanks of various types. ”

"The original basic combat strength was organized into two motorized infantry regiments. THE FIRST REGIMENT AND TWO BATTALIONS, THE FIRST BATTALION WAS EQUIPPED WITH 76 SUBMACHINE GUNS, 68 LIGHT AND HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, 16 60MM MORTARS, 12 82MM MORTARS, AND 4 NEWLY PRODUCED 47MM COMBAT DEFENSE GUNS. 130 transport vehicles. THE ARTILLERY COMPANY DIRECTLY UNDER THE REGIMENT HAS 6 NEWLY PRODUCED 75MM HOWITZERS, WITH 2,300 PEOPLE AND 360 VEHICLES OF VARIOUS TYPES. ”

"THE ARTILLERY REGIMENT IS IN ADDITION TO THE ORIGINAL 18-GUN 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY BATTALION AND AN 18-GUN 75MM FIELD ARTILLERY BATTALION. IN ADDITION, A 12-GUN 105MM HEAVY HOWITZER BATTALION WAS ADDED. There is an observation company directly under the regiment. ”

"Commander, don't say anything else, but the gap in this tank is more than a little bit short of the establishment." Li Du was shocked for a long time, and then came back to his senses and said, the original mechanized brigade can be said to be armed to the teeth, if it is a mixed armored brigade according to the establishment, if it is filled, Li Du has the information to directly fight Suiyuan in one breath. The charge of a hundred or dozens of tanks, what a magnificent scene it would be. Li Du is simply unimaginable. He knew that Jiang Li still had some foundation in his pocket, but if he wanted to say that it was easy to assemble a mixed armored brigade, Li Du didn't believe it very much.

"For the time being, let's add a tank battalion. In addition, 30 armored vehicles will be replenished. Depending on the situation, the heavy artillery will also be transferred over. "Compared to tanks with tracked rotatable turrets, the production of armored vehicles is relatively higher. Except for the battle in Langfang. Tank losses in the north-west were not significant. After replenishing the losses at the front. There are also more than thirty tanks on hand. This is also one of Jiang Li's courage to develop Baotou iron ore at this time, the northwest has been able to produce more than a dozen tanks every month, and this number is gradually increasing, otherwise even if the iron ore in Baotou is tempting, Jiang Li will also push back the time to develop iron ore. After all, if you can't stop the Japanese attack, everything is just for nothing. However, now the northwest has a certain strength, and Baotou is not too far from the northwest base camp. As long as the iron ore in Baotou raises the steel output in the northwest to more than one million tons, or even more, it will fight a general battle with the Japanese army in Suiyuan with hundreds of thousands of people. It's totally worth it, too.

"Well, if there are no tanks, with these light combat vehicles that can run fast and far, the attack on the offensive will not be comparable to the lethality and defense of the tank. But the role of fighting pursuit warfare and reconnaissance is not comparable to that of tanks, especially the cavalry of the Japanese puppet army. Xing Zhanqing thought of the armored cars loaded with thin steel plates just now, and he was a little excited. Such a good thing. If the commander had taken it out earlier, the first few battles of Suiyuan. When we have the upper hand, we can kill those puppet soldiers without leaving a piece of armor. ”

"It's good to take it out now, we have produced this thing before, but although the engine problem has been solved, the chassis has not been found too good, this time it is also the introduction of the chassis of the TNK3 light tank on the Polish side, which can be regarded as producing an armored car with good performance. The establishment of the mixed armored brigade still exists only on paper, but the determination of the northwest to form a first-class army will not waver, and within a year at most, the supplementary ordnance will be in place one by one. Jiang Li patted Li Du on the shoulder and said.

"Commander, rest assured, if the Japanese army wants to take Suixi, 100,000 people can't fill this hole."

Li Du smiled coldly and said, At this time, the Fifth Army had sixty or seventy thousand people, but there were still some hole cards in the northwest, and the Japanese army was attacking Shanxi and Hebei at the same time. It is not an easy task to shake the Suixi defense line of the Northwest Army again. What's more, winter is coming, the snow is snowing and frozen, and the Japanese army wants to start a large-scale war, and in this northern part of the country, its difficulties are also several times greater than usual. The Northwest has been operating Baotou for two or three months, and it is snowing heavily, and under extremely difficult logistical circumstances, it is undoubtedly a very unwise decision for the Japanese army to fight Baotou against the Northwest Army. The Northwest Army is not a soft persimmon. The winter in Saibei was long enough, and if a large-scale battle really broke out, the Japanese army had to prepare for a month or two, and in another month or two, the Baotou defense line began to take shape. Of course, what made Li Du even more confident was the rapid expansion of the scale of the arsenal in the northwest, which had exceeded their imagination of the Fengtian Arsenal at the beginning. A dozen tanks a month, combat vehicles drove out of the factory. Dozens of newly assembled aircraft. At least let the Northwest struggle in this kind of bitter battle

"Mr. Feng is pushing and grinding with a bare ass, turning in a circle and embarrassing!" Hearing that Feng Yuxiang's troops had suffered another defeat in Lubei and that his troops had suffered losses again, Han Fuyu was anxious and angry and complained to He Siyuan, the director of education.

He Siyuan didn't know what to say for a while, although he didn't agree with Han Fuyu's passive anti-Japanese war, but Han Fuyu has indeed done a lot for Shandong since he presided over Shandong's military and political affairs in recent years, whether it is to punish corruption, people's livelihood, or education, it can be said that since the founding of the Republic of China, only Han Fuyu has been greatly improved, these people have experienced the rule of Zhang Shuyuan and Zhang Zongchang, especially precious. Affected by Han's prestige, He Siyuan didn't say much for a while.

This incident still originated from Feng Yuxiang's report to Nanjing, saying that Han was passive in the war of resistance and had not made any preparations for the northern Lu region, so Chairman Chiang ordered Han to send two divisions to Feng Yuxiang for command. Han did not dare to disobey Nanjing's orders, although he cut corners, but when he heard that Feng Yuxiang, who was isolated and helpless, was retreating under the attack of the Japanese army in northern Lubei, he still couldn't stop the burst of fire. He was not only angry that Feng Yuxiang, an old chief, had come at an inopportune time, but also feared that the Japanese would enter Shandong, and the achievements of his many years of governance in Shandong would be ruined. He Han will also lose his own territory and become guerrilla generals like Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying.

"Chairman, what are we going to do now?" He Siyuan asked.

"What can I do, organize the withdrawal of personnel and institutions in batches, this place will soon be reduced to a war zone." Han said a little angrily, Nanjing's telegram ordering him to lead the Lu army to fight has been issued, the Japanese army has launched a large-scale attack on the northern Lu region, and he can repeatedly shirk the Japanese army's attack on Henan before, but at this time there is no way to push it, as for the northwest side, the intention to fight with the Japanese army is even stronger, let alone mention. However, despite their reluctance, the Japanese army would not stop its attack. (To be continued.) )
