Ignoring Hebar's surprised expression, Zhong Yi sat up straight, "Battalion commander, how is the troop formation?" ”

"Report sir." Lin Biao stood up straight, "According to the commander's request, each company of the armored battalion is equipped with ten Type 59 tanks, six infantry fighting vehicles and four material transport vehicles, and at present, all wheeled combat vehicles and transport vehicles are in place, and the number of tanks is still missing six, and it is ......."

"And what?" Zhong Yi was a little dissatisfied.

"Staff Officer Bird said that the base is underfunded, and the construction of the remaining tanks will be delayed." The Red Guard fighters all called the Bird of Paradise the Bird Staff.

"Play the piano indiscriminately, the rest can be postponed, how can tank building be postponed? Let's dismiss the meeting first, and I'll take care of the tank matter. ”

……

"How can there be insufficient funds, these days, twelve mining trucks are out of the nest, and the big chimneys of the four refineries are constantly emitting black smoke, and the daily capital income is 36,000...... It's only 36,000, and it's really not enough to build so many tanks at once. When Zhong Yi returned to the command platform in a hurry, and saw the number of 6600 behind the funds that can be used on the holographic screen, he also calmed down, the construction of the army is a bottomless pit, this is an armored battalion, what about a division or even an army in the future? And the navy and air force, which are even bigger and truly bottomless.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhong Yi really admires those great men now. Taizu was considered to be self-made at the beginning, so he said that in this day and age, what is the Red Army that is on the Long March? Many Red Army soldiers may not have even seen tanks, but in later generations, did they not overthrow the three mountains and establish the Red regime? He said that all reactionaries are paper tigers. Well, all the Australian army is paper tigers, the difficulty is temporary, at least we still have a base!

All construction and conscription tasks except tanks were suspended, and after three days, the armored battalion was finally assembled, and the companies took turns to train on the colonel's field. In the last battle to annihilate the cavalry regiment, the commanders and machine gunners of the various vehicle groups were too busy, and the gunners had little chance to try their skills. This time, during the training, Zhong Yi clearly instructed that the live-fire training should allow each gunner to personally shoot a few shots without worrying about the shells.

It's not that I don't feel distressed, a shell is worth dozens of dollars, but the enemy I face next is even stronger, and the tank can't solve the problem with machine guns alone, it's time for the Type 59 100-mm main gun to be powerful.

With the gradual increase in the number of Red Police soldiers and sappers in the base, the guard squad has gradually relaxed the guards of several prisoners, especially after Hebar and Comrade Commander reached some cooperation intentions, many Australian soldiers even took the initiative to join the Red Police Force, which is of course impossible, but Zhong Yi also did not want to discourage the enthusiasm of the white soldiers, after all, most of these people who wanted to join were Hebar's cronies, and even most of them were sent by Hebar's family for the family heir to train assistants, They are all inextricably linked to the Smolgon family. In order to show the sincerity of his cooperation, Zhong Yi approved the selection of soldiers from among the captives to form a cavalry battalion, of course, there is only one criterion for selection, and it is up to the soldiers themselves to choose whether they are willing to leave the Australian army and join the Greater China base. At the same time, Zhong Yi also threw out a big pie that the soldiers could not refuse: after passing the loyalty test in the white cavalry battalion, they could become real iron knights - armored soldiers like the Red Police soldiers.

This was also Hebar's request, he knew that it was impossible for the white man to gain Zhong Yi's trust for the time being, so he offered to have the Red Guard soldiers serve as middle and senior officers of the cavalry battalion, and be responsible for the training of the cavalry battalion. This reminded Zhong Yi of the puppet army during the Anti-Japanese War in China...... Phew, shake your head and quickly drive this thought out of your mind, these white soldiers are of great use in Zhong Yi's plan, how can they be compared with the gang of traitors who lost the face of their ancestors, hehe, I don't know how the soldiers of this cavalry battalion will be called by other white people in the future, white traitors? Or is it an Australian traitor?

Arrange for the guard squad to join the cavalry battalion, in addition to the battalion commander must be Hebar, the three company commanders and most of the platoon commanders are served by the guards squad soldiers, Qian Zhihao was appointed as the captain of the cavalry battalion and the deputy battalion commander. This order caused Qian Zhihao to protest greatly, "Boss, you can't do this!" I'd rather continue to be a second lieutenant squad leader......"

"Obey the order, and I'll let you be the engineer squad leader again."

Qian Zhihao, who was full of inner bulls, had no choice but to succumb to the boss's obscenity, and in the days that followed, Deputy Battalion Commander Qian, who was full of depression, vented his anger in training, and the white cavalry was trained by it******** of course, it also greatly engaged in the tactical quality and will quality of these soldiers. In the future war, after the complete ban on cavalry and the transformation of cavalry into armored soldiers, this unit made countless meritorious contributions and became a fist unit among the whites, earning a lot of face for Qian Zhihao.

A few days later, Jiang Yunzhi finally waited for the reconnaissance infantry vehicle that had secretly attacked. Because of the blockage of the Magresv Mountains, the armored forces could not use the route of the last raid on the super pit shafts to advance into Kalgoorlie, so after the decision to occupy the gold mining area was issued, one or two wheeled reconnaissance infantry vehicles secretly left the base, bypassing the Magresv Mountains in search of a suitable road for tank advances.

The return of the reconnaissance vehicle means that the time to send troops is approaching, this is the first time that the armored force of the base has sent troops in the real sense, whether it is for the development of the base or the honor of the troops, this battle cannot be lost!

Zhong Yi and the commanders of the armored battalion, Quanguo Lin and Jiang Yunzhi, and the four commanders of the cavalry battalion, Hemar and Qian Zhihao, deduced the battle process several times on the holographic map in the lobby of the main building, and fully considered all possibilities, including the sending of reinforcements from Perth. Jiang Yunzhi, who was promoted from the sergeant squad leader when he first arrived at the base to the captain armored deputy battalion commander in a month, had a slightly tired face on his trademark poker face, "Sir, the key to this battle is whether the third company can block the retreat of the 17th Brigade in the southwest direction, and after the battle starts, if the Australian army finds that it is not inferior to our tanks, the main force of the 17th Brigade will organize a retreat in time, plus the possible reinforcements from Perth, the third company will be attacked by the enemy." ”

"Yes, sir, I agree with Deputy Chiang's idea, instead of letting the third company suffer from the enemy on its back and the tanks in place as a battery, it is better to concentrate all the tanks and attack with all their might. Anyway, the Australian army is not a mechanized unit, they can't outrun our tanks. "Major Lin is a handsome young man with a standard male god face.

Guderian's armored cluster assault tactics? Zhong Yi felt a little funny, the number of our tanks is really shabby, even the command tanks of the battalion headquarters are only 32. However, to be able to come up with this kind of tactic, Quanlin is a talent, and Guderian is probably still a small man in the German army. However, Zhong Yi did not agree with this Quan's version of the cluster assault tactics, not that the tactics were bad, but that the scale of the battle on both sides was very limited now, and scattering hundreds of thousands of people meant winning the battle, and scattering thousands of people was called the return of the tiger to the mountain. However, what Jiang Yunzhi put forward also makes sense, how effective can the blocking line composed of ten tanks and six armored personnel carriers be in the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the flank?

During the weighing, Zhong Yi suddenly saw that Hebar seemed to have something to say, and he wanted to say something again, "Sir, do you have anything to say?" ”

It seemed that Zhong Yi's question had helped him strengthen his resolve, and Hebar stood up violently.

"Commander, I have a way to delay the retreat of the 17 Brigade."
