The situation in Rehe was very good, and the Kwantung Army could not draw effective troops to support it, and all of them were developing in a direction favorable to the Dragon's Tooth Column.

In the Pingjin area, several reinforcements from the North China Front have all arrived, namely the 20,000 cavalry of the Kwantung Army, the 30,000 army troops drawn from the mainland and the Korean Peninsula, and at the same time, the 150,000 retired soldiers re-recruited by the Japanese mainland have basically arrived.

While they are training rigorously, they are waiting for the arsenal to produce enough supporting weapons and equipment and military supplies for them to assemble, so that they can be used as a second wave of reinforcements to rush to North China.

The base area of the Dragon's Tooth Column is operating in full force in all aspects, producing all kinds of weapons and equipment, and accumulating various military materials such as grain, forage, and military uniforms.

The same is true in Japan, in the puppet state of Manchukuo, and on the Korean Peninsula, where the war planes are operating at full capacity, and their war forces are gradually recovering.

After about half a month, Jiang Haidong and the others finally returned to the base area safely, when Qiao Youhua, Zuo Quan and others were inspecting the tank armored brigade that had just completed the replenishment of equipment on the field of the Longya Military Academy.

In the past few months, the tank factory of the arsenal has been working non-stop to produce enough tanks and armored vehicles, and the original tank regiment has officially been upgraded to a tank armored brigade directly under the column.

This tank armored brigade has a total of three regiments and a command headquarters, which are two tank regiments and one air defense regiment, the command headquarters is equivalent to the size of a battalion, the air defense regiment is towed by trucks and armored vehicles, and the command headquarters is also equipped with trucks and armored vehicles, so it is a fully mechanized mobile force.

The upgraded tank armored brigade has a total of 100 tanks No. 4, 50 in each regiment, and the air defense regiment has a total of three battalions and a regimental headquarters. There are two anti-aircraft gun battalions with a total of 20 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion with 20 anti-aircraft machine guns.

In addition to this, the command consisted of an armored guard battalion with twenty German half-track armored vehicles.

100 tanks, 20 armored vehicles, and more than 100 military trucks and 20 armored vehicles responsible for towing anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, formed a huge fleet of armored vehicles.

The tank armored soldiers and air defense soldiers stood neatly next to their chariots and weapons, looking straight ahead with solemn expressions, and were inspected by Qiao Youhua and Zuo Quan and other column commanders.

At this moment, Jiang Haidong rode a war horse into the school grounds, turned over and dismounted from a long distance, and trotted all the way towards the review stand, waving his hand as he ran: "Commander, Chief of Staff, I'm back." ”

Qiao Youhua looked at it when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Hai Dongfeng running over, and immediately walked down with Zuo Quan with a smile, greeted and shook hands: "Haidong, you are back, this time you have worked hard all the way, and you have made a great contribution, today you came back just in time, our tank armored brigade is really deserved now, and this will be a trump card sword in our hands."

In the future, it will definitely be able to play an unimaginably huge role, inflicting a huge blow and deterrence on the enemy! Ha ha! Come and take a look. ”

Jiang Haidong had already seen so many ironclad heroes lined up neatly, and immediately returned to the review stand with Qiao Youhua and others, and said happily: "Haha, it's great to have waited for such a day." ”

"Next, it is to improve the tank armor, air defense and artillery and other directly subordinate units of our four A infantry divisions, I estimate that we can achieve the goal in half a year, and then we will be able to wave our division north and march into Pingjin!" Qiao Youhua pointed to the group of armored combat vehicles below, and said with a heroic voice.

"Great, I really want to go north now, start the Northern Expedition, and recover Pingjin!" Jiang Haidong said.

"There will be such a day, and I think it shouldn't be too far, Haidong, you have made a great contribution in Nanjing this time, and you have made a great achievement that is enough to go down in history, I will ask the leaders of the Party Central Committee and the headquarters for your credit, but tonight, we can celebrate in advance, and also celebrate for you!" Chief of Staff Zuo Quan spoke.

Jiang Haidong said with a smile: "Thank you, chief, these are what Haidong should do, it doesn't matter if you ask for credit or not, let me have a good meal and drink tonight, and then sleep well."

This time, I went south to hoe and rape back and forth, which lasted for more than a month, and the boat and car were tiring, and it was impossible to say that it was not hard. ”

Zuo Quan smiled and waved his hand and said: "Hey, it's not right to say that, merit is merit and demerit, merit must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished, so please merit is certain." ”

After speaking, after a pause, Zuo Quan said to Qiao Youhua: "Haidong's second half of the sentence is right, they should be very tired of sleeping in the open on this road, I will build yì Let's end the review, let the room prepare the evening banquet, and wash the dust for the heroes." ”

Qiao Youhua nodded happily and said, "Well, I agree, Haidong, you go back to take a shower and sleep well, and when dinner starts in the evening, I will let someone inform you." ”

Jiang Haidong smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go first." ”

After Jiang Haidong left, Qiao Youhua said loudly to all the officers and soldiers of the tank armored brigade under the review stage: "After the review, you can disband, but before the disbandment, this commander has a piece of advice that I hope the brothers can bear in mind, guard against rashness and arrogance, serve the country and the people, and make new contributions.

Have you memorized them all? ”

"Remember!" Under the leadership of Liu Jianhua, the former commander of the tank regiment and now the commander of the armored tank brigade, thousands of tank and armored soldiers responded in unison, and then they all stood up and saluted, sending Qiao Youhua, Zuo Quan and others off the review stand and striding away.

After Qiao Youhua, Zuo Quan and the others left, Liu Jianhua turned around and ordered in high spirits: "All of them, drive their respective chariots and weapons back into storage, do all kinds of necessary inspections and maintenance, and then disband and eat!" ”

That night, Qiao Youhua asked the room to prepare several large tables of sumptuous dishes, and took out a batch of old wine from Xinghua Village that he had treasured two years ago, and drank and carnivaled with Zuo Quan, Jiang Haidong, Zheng Yunshan, Liu Jianhua, Zhao Tiezhu, Guo Meng, Ma Yunlong, Li Yunlong, and other major officers of the headquarters of the column and the directly subordinate units.

While celebrating the official formation of the tank armored brigade, it also served Jiang Haidong and their successful assassination of the traitor Wang Jingwei Shun lì to return and wash the dust.

This meal, they drank until midnight, and then it ended under the mention of the chief of staff of Zuo Quan, and everyone was almost drunk, and they were all helped back by the adjutant and the guards.

After tonight, the Dragon's Tooth Column then entered a period of full development and accumulation for half a year, and there was no war for half a year, and the arsenal produced more and more weapons and equipment, ammunition, and military supplies such as grain, uniforms, military shoes, oil, and forage were also hoarded and increased at an alarming rate every day.
