Spring has gone to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, more than six months have passed since Jiang Haidong completed the task of assassinating the traitor Wang Jingwei and the tank armored brigade directly under the column has truly completed the upgrade and equipment.

In the past six months or so, the arsenal of the Dragon's Tooth Column has gone all out, and the workers and engineers have been working day and night, 24 hours a day, and the reorganization plan set by Qiao Youhua and Zuo Quan has basically been fully implemented.

In addition to the tank armored brigade, air defense brigade, and heavy artillery brigade directly under the column, all of which are equipped with sufficient weapons and equipment, three of the remaining four infantry divisions under their jurisdiction have completed the new armament and equipment of the three tank, artillery, and air defense regiments directly under their command, so that their directly subordinate regiments no longer do infantry work in the name of air defense, tank, and artillery.

And upgrade to a real high-tech unit, a high-level combat unit.

The three divisions were the 1st Division, the 2nd Division, and the 4th Division, which had been training at the base camp in the Pingshan Base Area, while the 3rd Division was temporarily put on hold because the arsenal had not yet produced enough tanks, armored vehicles, anti-aircraft weapons, and artillery.

The reason is very simple, because in the next Northern Expedition, Qiao Youhua had decided to leave Wu Ming's third division and continue to garrison the Yellow River defense line south of the base area to prevent the Japanese army in Shandong from moving north.

The Third Division did not participate in the Northern Expedition, so it gave priority to arming the other three divisions and the troops directly under the column.

However, the production capacity of the Dragon's Tooth Column Arsenal is now much faster than before, and it is believed that it will not be long before all the equipment for the units directly under the Third Division will be produced.

It is worth mentioning that in the past six months, the improved production line of the Dragon's Tooth Column has produced more than 50,000 domestic semi-automatic rifles, and these more than 50,000 semi-automatic rifles have been equipped with all the units directly under Jiang Haidong's first division and the column, and are used with MP38 submachine guns, which has greatly improved the strength of each unit.

And Qiao Youhua named this domestic semi-automatic unit the Extinction!
