Chapter 35: Formation of an Armoured Assault Force

In the next day, Qiao Anbang assisted his eldest brother Qiao Anguo in training recruits, and on the other hand, he was also paying attention to the progress of the current anti-Japanese war.

As with the original history, the historical wheel of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression did not deviate, the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army fought a bloody battle in Pingjin and the Yue Army, and was finally forced to retreat due to being outnumbered, during which Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and General Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, died in the fierce battle and died heroically.

On the part of the army, after capturing Pingjin, the troops immediately divided into three routes to expand the invasion along the three lines of Jinpu, Pinghan, and Pingsui, and the national political axe actively responded to the battle, and then the Nankou Battle broke out.

Qiao Anbang would ask Yali to receive some news about the Anti-Japanese War through the radio every day, and Qiao Anbang was secretly relieved to learn that history had not deviated significantly because of his arrival.

If there is a deviation of the devil's defeat, then Qiao Anbang will not be happy, but if his arrival triggers the butterfly effect, resulting in more losses than in the original history, then Qiao Anbang will become a sinner of the Chinese nation.

Fortunately, the things that Qiao Anbang has changed are still small, and they are not enough to affect the major deviations in the War of Resistance against Japan, but in the near future, regardless of whether there will be deviations in history, Qiao Anbang will change history, and as a Chinese with a blood surname and a conscience, he must not sit idly by and watch the Nanjing Massacre happen again.

……………

In the regiment headquarters, Qiao Anbang was frowning and contemplative, seeing that the war of resistance had begun, but he could not recruit a tank soldier and pilot, and the second brother Qiao Anbang had traveled back and forth to Shanghai, Nanjing and other big cities many times, but he returned in vain every time.

It is no wonder that tank crews and pilots are all high-tech and technical arms, and both the central army and local warlords are holding them as treasures, so how can they be idle.

However, if you can't recruit tank crews and pilots, Qiao Anbang will not be able to form armored troops and air forces, so if you fight with devils in the future, no matter how sophisticated your army's weapons are, and you don't have air supremacy, you will suffer a big loss.

At this moment, the commander of the communication company, Ya Li, walked in in a military uniform, and seeing that there was no one in private, Ya Li gently walked behind Qiao Anbang, blindfolded Qiao Anbang with a pair of white hands, and asked with a smile: "Guess who I am." ”

"Yali, don't make a fuss." Qiao Anbang was upset, and his tone was a little heavy.

"Master, what's wrong, you're angry?" Yali thought that she had angered Qiao Anbang, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry master, Yali didn't mean to, I just wanted to make a joke with you, don't you be angry with Yali, okay?" ”

"Yali, I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about things." Jo Anbang explained.

"Master, what do you want? Can you tell Yari? Knowing that Qiao Anbang was not angry with herself, Yali regained her smile, but seeing Qiao Anbang's sad face, she asked cautiously.

Qiao Anbang was depressed, so he told Yali that he couldn't recruit tankmen and pilots.

After Yali heard this, her beautiful big eyes blinked, and she suddenly said, "Master, Yali has a way, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Do you have a way? Tell me about it! Qiao Anbang was skeptical.

"Master, although we can't recruit tank soldiers and pilots at this stage, we have car soldiers, we only need to have a batch of armored vehicles to form an armored force, although it can't be compared with the tank force, but it's better than nothing, right?" Yali watched as Qiao Anbang cautiously spoke her mind.

Qiao Anbang was stunned for a while, and then he was ecstatic: yes, he can get a batch of American or British-style half-track armored vehicles from the aircraft, although this kind of armored car has no artillery, but it can be equipped with machine guns and large-caliber machine guns, which is more than enough to deal with the little devil's thin-skinned tank, and the machine gun is rapid-fire, and it is even more cool to deal with the devil's infantry.

Moreover, this multifunctional armored vehicle can not only be used as an armored force, but also can be equipped with reconnaissance companies for reconnaissance and search.

Thinking of this, Qiao Anbang suddenly opened his mouth, and said to Yali excitedly: "Yali, you are really my good assistant, why didn't I think of it." As he spoke, he unexpectedly kissed Yali on the snow-white cheek.

"The hosts... You—" Yali was suddenly attacked by Joan Bang and petrified on the spot.

And it happened that Qiao Anguo was sweating profusely and strode in, just saw Qiao Anbang kissing Yali, and quickly turned his head to turn around and leave, explaining as he walked: "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, you continue to ......." Before the words fell, the person had already run away.

Startled by Qiao Anguo's voice, Qiao Anbang suddenly woke up, and looked down to see that Yali's originally fair cheeks were already red like ripe apples, very good-looking, and the pair of towering twin peaks on her chest also kept rising and falling because of shortness of breath, and she had a sense of surname.

Without waiting for Joan Bang to explain, Yali trotted all the way with her head down and ran out as if she were running away.

"Damn, get carried away." Qiao Anbang couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

……………………

In the afternoon of the same day, Jo Anbang took Yali to a remote woods outside the barracks, where the aircraft was hidden, Jo Anbang ordered the guards to guard outside, and he took Yali into the woods.

Although there was a little episode in the morning, neither of them deliberately mentioned it, so they pretended that nothing happened, and after approaching the woods, Yali glanced back at Qiao Anbang, and then turned her head, still a little embarrassed, after all, she was kissed by Qiao Anbang.

Qiao Anbang knew what Yali was shy about, of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to be cheap and behave, so he hurriedly diverted Yali's attention: "Yali, let's start." ”

"Hmm." Yali nodded and whispered, and immediately began to fly. As Yali, the external wall of light of the aircraft appeared again.

Yali frowned and stared at the aircraft for a while, then turned to Qiao Anbang and said, "Master, there are more than ten kinds of armored vehicles at this stage, several countries, what do you want?" ”

"You want to have a good surname and strong firepower." Jo Anbang gave a rough idea.

"Well," Yali nodded when she heard this, and said after a while: "There are three countries whose surnames are more superior, namely Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States. ”

"Then you can introduce me all their surnames." Although the basic 80% of the current equipment of the security regiment is American-style equipment, Germany and the Soviet Union both had powerful armored forces in World War II, so the tanks of the three countries should have their own merits, so he should compare the best choices.

"Okay." Yali happily responded, and then looked at the aircraft intently and said: "There are three kinds of German-style armored vehicles: the first is the SDKFZ221 search vehicle, the SDKFZ221 search vehicle, also known as the "Millibeard" armored vehicle, is a wheeled armored vehicle widely equipped by the German army before World War II, as a special vehicle for battlefield reconnaissance and patrol. At the beginning of World War II, it was heavily involved in the battlefields of Poland, France, and the Soviet Union. The total combat weight is 4 tons, the maximum speed is 90 km / h, the armor is 5-8 mm thick, the crew is 2-3 people, and it is armed with 1 7.92mm MG13 machine gun.

The second is the Sd.KFZ.222 tank,

This vehicle is a modification of the SD.KFZ.221 armored car, which is slightly larger than the Type 221, has more firepower, and has an open top, which can carry more soldiers. It was widely used in various battlefields of the German army in World War II. These vehicles belong to the early type, with a total combat weight of 4.5 tons, a crew of 3-4 people, armed with 1 7.92mm MG13 or 34 machine gun and 1 20mm KWK30 or 38 machine gun.

The third is the SDKFZ223 communication search vehicle,

The SD.KFZ.223 communication search vehicle is a variant of the SD.KFZ.222 wheeled armored vehicle, which follows the chassis of the SD.KFZ.222 and the machine gun turret of the SD.KFZ.221, and is equipped with a foldable antenna. It is a kind of communication vehicle with a relatively good surname in the German army in World War II. It is armed with a 7.92mm MG34 machine gun.

The Soviet Union has a BA series of combat vehicles, among which the BA-3 type surname can be more outstanding, after the First World War, a kind of wheeled armored vehicle by military trucks with armored shells is popular in European countries, this armored car is simple and cheap to manufacture, and can be equipped in large quantities. The Soviet Union was no exception and developed a large number of such combat vehicles, the pioneer BA-1 wheeled armored vehicle, the chassis of which was a 10-wheeled off-road truck chassis with a rotating 37mm gun turret at the rear of the hull, and the BA-3 armored vehicle was improved at the request of the Soviet military.

This combat vehicle has not only strengthened its firepower, but also installed the 45mm tank gun of the T-26 tank, and its purpose has also changed from a single armored combat vehicle to a multi-functional armored combat vehicle integrating search and communication operations.

Another feature of this car is that it is usually equipped with rubber tires, and if necessary, it can be replaced with rails to drive on the railway. ”

Yali roughly said the surname of the Soviet and German chariots in one breath.

"And what about the American style?" Qiao Anbang nodded and asked again.

"There are currently two types of American armored combat vehicles, the first is the M3A1 wheeled reconnaissance vehicle, the M3 wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle is a more widely equipped model of the series of wheeled combat vehicles developed by the United States in the 20s of the 20th century, weighing 5 tons, with a crew of 4-5 people, and equipped with 1 12.7mm and 1 7.62mm machine gun.

The second is the M3A1 half-track armored fighting vehicle, which has a total combat weight of 6.8 tons, a crew of 3 and a crew of 11 people, and is equipped with 1 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and 2 7.62mm machine guns. It is characterized by strong firepower and large carrying capacity, and in addition to this, it can also be used as an artillery tractor. Yali replied without tire.

"Oh." When Qiao Anbang heard this, he immediately began to ponder, in addition to being equipped with artillery, the Soviet-style combat vehicles were almost a bright spot, and they were far inferior to the German and American ones in other aspects.

Therefore, Qiao Anbang focused on the German and American styles, in fact, the surnames of the two search vehicles are similar, and the firepower of the German SD.KFZ.222 tank is not inferior to the American M3 half-track armored vehicle, but the function is slightly insufficient.

It is important to know that the M3 is not only powerful in firepower and large in carrying capacity, but also can be used as an artillery tractor, which is very important on the battlefield in the future.

When necessary, the artillery is pulled up and the M3 is armed with an anti-aircraft machine gun, which can respond to enemy air attacks.

In addition, most of the equipment of the security regiment is now American-style, and in order to unify the equipment, Joan Bang thought about it and finally decided to use American-style armored combat vehicles.

Among them, 20 M3 wheeled search vehicles are equipped with reconnaissance companies, and 30 M3 half-track armored vehicles are equipped with artillery battalions, and the truck detachments belonging to the original artillery battalions are equipped with M3.

Of course, this kind of establishment is only temporary, and when Qiao Anbang has enough automobile and tank troops, he will form a separate armored unit directly under him.
