Not all of the soldiers of the former 200th Division who were rescued survived, and although Li Lei's medical team did their best to treat them, more than 80 soldiers still lost their lives during this time.

Because of the long-term torture that leads to the weakening of the body, many of them have difficulty persevering under the erosion of various viruses and bacteria. In the end, those who survived... Only 283 remained.

Fortunately, there are basically no cases of infection among the remaining people, and the malnourished body has gradually returned to normal after more than a week of recuperation.

Seeing that his body was fine, Yuan, who couldn't stay idle, immediately asked to be discharged from the hospital, and took his brothers to find Liao Mingyu for a task.

Liao Mingyu didn't give an answer at the first time, he originally wanted them to rest for two more days, but he couldn't stand the persistent requests of these guys to block the door every day.

In the end, Yuan Li was given the establishment of an independent tank battalion, and he was temporarily on standby with the third regiment, so that they could study the structure of those armored vehicles by themselves.

However, as soon as they heard that the Third Division had actually "captured" 35 German-made armored vehicles, Yuan Li and the others were like hungry ghosts in the color, and without saying a word, they immediately rushed to the armored vehicle camp, staying inside every day and refusing to come out.

Buzz Buzz......

"Lao Zhou, don't fall behind if you left wing! Second, don't step on the throttle too hard, control the speed! ”

The open space was dusty, and seven SDKFZ251 armored vehicles were slowly advancing in formation, while Yuan Li stood on one of the vehicles and kept giving orders around.

The area of this open space was not too large, and Yuan Li's throat was about to smoke, but the roar of the engine quickly covered his shouting.

"Oh, you've started practicing?"

By the time Liao Mingyu came to this point, the armored vehicles had already driven far, but due to the limitations of the venue, Yuan Li had to command the convoy to turn back again after not opening for a while.

As soon as he looked at this standard T-shaped formation, Liao Mingyu understood that the kid was training completely according to the combat ideology of a tank.

Although there is nothing wrong with the tactics, the armored vehicles are not tanks after all, and if they are lined up like this, it is estimated that they will turn into several fire balls after a while.

"Everyone turn back and march in a wedge formation!"

With Yuan Li's order, the 6 armored vehicles began to turn their heads, and the formation quickly made adjustments, and it could be seen that their tactical cooperation was still quite skillful, but they didn't know what would happen if they replaced the armored vehicles with tanks.

A moment later, the convoy drove to Liao Mingyu, Yuan Li turned over and jumped out of the car, and quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Take a seat!" The separate tank battalion reports to you, please instruct! ”

Liao Mingyu nodded back, looked at the young officer who was still a little thin but had a ruddy complexion, and said with a smile: "Take a break, how is Battalion Commander Yuan feeling recently?" ”

"Report to the staff, everything is fine, the 35 German armored vehicles of the tank battalion have been trained and are ready to attack at any time!" Yuan Li's eyes were like torches, and he replied vigorously and forcefully.

On the first day he came to the tank camp, he inspected all the armored vehicles, although he had not touched this infantry combat vehicle, but the operation was not complicated, as long as the armored soldiers with driving experience could drive it perfectly with a little run-in.

"There's no rush here, the first goal now is to rest, tell me about your training subjects and formation."

"Yes! I formed according to the original T26 offensive formation, and I formed 5 combat companies in groups of 7 armored vehicles, with drivers and machine gunners arranged, and each combat group ......"

Yuan Li replied without thinking, and slowly reported to Liao Mingyu a series of situations in the troops.

Liao Mingyu pursed his lips and smiled helplessly, this kid was really born in a Maozi tank, and he basically exudes a strong Russian atmosphere.

Yuan Li completely used the SDKFZ251 half-track armored car as a tank, and its 12mm armor thickness was not much lighter than that of the T26, after all, the latter's armor was only 13mm, in fact, it was pitifully thin in front of the main tanks of various countries.

"This armored vehicle is used as a support unit for the infantry, and its use alone does not reflect its role, and it must cooperate with the infantry to play its value."

In the future, large-scale armored operations will be indispensable for the troops, and Liao Mingyu must correct the mistakes at this time, so that he can achieve tactical expectations instead of delivering food to the enemy.

"Later, I will arrange three regiments to train with you, remember, the core of this tank is coordination and penetration, and you have to use its advantages of speed and carrying capacity on the battlefield to transport soldiers to quickly break through enemy lines and establish advantages, not as a tank alone......"

A few drops of sweat slid gently down from Yuan Li's forehead, and at this moment he stood up straight and listened carefully to Liao Mingyu's explanation.

The SDKFZ251 half-track armored vehicle had only two machine guns before the modification, and the offensive weapons were slightly insufficient, but as an infantry fighting vehicle, the main task was to cooperate with tanks or infantry in combat, quickly mobile infantry detachments, and destroy enemy light armored vehicles and stronghold fortifications.

Although there are no tanks now, it can be used to work more on the coordination with the infantry, this vehicle can carry 10 people at a time, and as long as the road is fine, 4 to 5 armored vehicles can easily transport a platoon of troops to any location.

Chen Jize, who was standing next to him, had a deep understanding of this, and when he heard the counselor explain the tactical use of the infantry chariot, he was also nodding secretly in his heart.

If there was this armored car when they attacked Longling last time, it is estimated that their three regiments would be able to break through the various positions of the Japanese army faster, and penetrate behind enemy lines before the Japanese army reacted, and the little devils might not even have a chance to fight in the streets.

"Well, that's about what it means. Ji Ze, I now order your three regiments to train with Battalion Commander Yuan, and vigorously grasp the tactical thinking of the coordination of the scooters! ”

Liao Mingyu looked at the two equally young faces, and said earnestly:

"Each armored vehicle must be equipped with a walkie-talkie, so that orders can be received quickly, and if you don't understand something, come and ask me, there are many opportunities for mechanized combat in the future." You two can get me something out of it as soon as possible. ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! The two replied in unison.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liao Mingyu summoned the system and asked it to scan Yuan Li's ability value, but to see how many catties and taels this kid has.

"Ding, the character recognition system is on, and it's being scanned......

Character: Yuan Li.

Intelligence: 88

Politics: 60

Military ability: 90

Individual combat effectiveness: 85

Summary: Good at large-scale armored combat, flexible and changeable, good at seizing battlefield opportunities, and his military ability is +5 when serving as a tank commander.

Comprehensive assessment: quasi-S-level military talents, qualified to be regiment-level military commanders. ”

After the report is completed, 500 points will be deducted"

Yes, yes, this kid is really a talent born for the armored forces, and he is the commander of the tank forces behind.

……

After coming out of the camp, Liao Mingyu has been thinking about one thing, although the current troops have surpassed a regular division of the Japanese army in terms of firepower ratio, they have not formed a complete crushing trend.

In the past, almost all of those victories were due to the superiority of weapons or excellent tactics, but in terms of individual soldier quality, except for the first regiment of the dragon article, there is still a gap between the others and the little devils.

If the troops are deployed to have a hard-nosed confrontation with Maimang, it is estimated that even if they can win at that time, the losses of the various units will be relatively large.

If there was a complete armored force as a sharp knife, coupled with a flexible tactical arrangement, the Japanese would have to be beaten.

Just like the Indian army in Stilwell's hand, when counterattacking Burma, it faced the elite of the 18th Division, the "King of Jungle Warfare", which was known for its ferocity, but it was overwhelming all the way.

even created 1 battalion, surrounded by thousands of Japanese invaders, and retreated after 42 days; 1 regiment killed 4,000 enemies. The little devils all exclaimed: "The combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is not what it used to be. ”

History is like this, the two forces that counterattacked Burma, the nearly 200,000 Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force fought hard for more than three months in Tengchong, Longling, Songshan and other places, with the cooperation of 300 US planes, still paid three times the enemy's casualties, and finally completely annihilated all the Japanese troops entrenched in western Yunnan.

The troops stationed in India relied on more than 80,000 people to defeat the main force of the Japanese army in Burma and could not find the north, until the end of the entire Burma campaign, they annihilated more than 48,000 Japanese troops at the cost of more than 18,000 casualties.

However, the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force suffered nearly 70,000 casualties in the counterattack on Burma, and finally annihilated more than 20,000 people, with a battle loss ratio of nearly 4:1.

Here it is not difficult to see the personnel, equipment, training, logistics... The difference between the two armies in these aspects has led to a world of difference.

The reason why Liao Mingyu wants to take the route of elite soldiers is also because of this, only when the team meets the requirements in all aspects, can it form a crushing posture against the enemy and obtain the greatest results at the minimum cost.

"By the way, Uncle System, didn't I unlock the PAK37 battle defense gun? Can this gun be placed on the SDKFZ251 armored car? ”

"Ding... Yes, but the host should be reminded that its exchange price will increase exponentially, 150 points for a 37 battle defense gun (anti-tank gun), 700 points for the SDKFZ251 armored car, and 450 points for the cost of modification, so ... In the end, the price of an armored car with a 37mm gun was 1300 points. ”

"Damn, it's going to be so expensive? It's almost the price of two! The price of the system surprised Liao Mingyu, and it was so much more expensive than the original price when it was modified?

"Ding... For example, the SDKFZ251 half-track only needs 100 points if it only needs to be equipped with the top armor of the passenger seat, and if it needs to be equipped with a weapon, the modification fee is 3 times that of the weapon.

The SDKFZ251 can be equipped with a lot of weapons, flamethrowers, 20mm cannons, 37mm guns, 75mm anti-tank guns, etc., and can even strengthen armor protection in key positions, the vehicle is very playable. ”

"Play with your sister!"

Liao Mingyu couldn't help but complain, now only the flamethrower and the 37 battle defense gun have reached the standard, and the other weapons have not been seen.

Especially the PAK40-75 mm 46 times the diameter of the anti-tank gun, which can penetrate 102 mm of homogeneous steel armor at a distance of 1500 meters, if the SDKFZ251 armored car has it, it will be a piece of cake to fight the little devil bunker fortifications or something.

"Well, what if you add a separate vehicle, is that okay?" Liao Mingyu asked suddenly.

"Ding... Yes, you only need to pay for the points required for modifications and weapons. ”

Liao Mingyu touched his chin and thought about it carefully, in this way, he could save a fortune, why not? But what do you have to do to complete the modification?

As if knowing Liao Mingyu's doubts, the system immediately explained: "Ding... The host only needs to empty the soldiers in the armored car camp, and I will modify it when there is no one, and the same is true for daily maintenance and maintenance, but it is up to the host to explain it later when someone asks. ”

Belch... Such... It's okay, it's a big deal to call everyone out when the time comes, and then lock down the camp for two days and say that there are special arrangements, anyway, they won't say anything more about the small scale now.

"Then help me add the top guard of the passenger seat to all the SDKFZ251 armored vehicles."

This armored car is good, but there is a big gap at the top of the passenger seat, which is very vulnerable to the threat of enemy grenades or Molotov cocktails.

"Ding... The system prompts that due to the limitations of the SDKFZ251 hull, all large-caliber weapons cannot be installed after the top guard is installed, and the machine gun on the front can be retained at most. ”

"And this limit? It's embarrassing. ”

How do you feel that this thing is full of obstacles, Liao Mingyu was very helpless, so he had to say in a dejected manner: "Forget it, just add 10 37 anti-tank guns to me, and modify the rest of the guards." ”

"Ding... The redemption is complete, a total of 8000 points are spent, and the remaining points: 57091. The host can arrange its own time to clear personnel in the vicinity of the armored vehicle, at which point the system will automatically start the modification. ”

8,000 points is a bit expensive, but it's worth it.

After all, the troops do not have tanks now, so that the SDKFZ251 armored vehicle has certain anti-armor capabilities, and can also have better performance and means of self-protection during the assault.

The jeep drove slowly to the city, and after solving this matter, Liao Mingyu hugged the back of his head and leaned on the seat and blew the breeze leisurely, he was going to go to Meng Fu to take a look now.

The Japanese had been in a stalemate with them on the other side for a week, neither attacking nor evacuating, and it would be false to say that they did not respond to it in their hearts.

Considering that the situation of the Japanese army was unknown, the reconstruction of Longling was underway, and the troops needed a little rest after the battle, Liao Mingyu did not let the troops attack immediately.

The most important point is that the ammunition and materials of the troops need to be replenished, and in terms of ammunition, it is good to say that there are not many shells in reserve for those various types of artillery.

In addition, the firearms are also damaged to varying degrees, and the supplies and new equipment that have just been exchanged are still on the way, so it is best to be stable before these problems are solved, Liao Mingyu doesn't want to pull eggs.

"Beep beep!"

Just as he was sitting in the car and thinking, a jeep suddenly came from behind and honked its horn at them.

Ding Xiaoer slowly stepped on the brakes, and the jeep behind him also caught up and stopped next to him, and a major in the car immediately got out of the car and walked towards Liao Mingyu and them:

"Report to the staff, I just received a telegram order from the military department, please take a look."

Liao Mingyu took the telegram and read it carefully, and it turned out that the newly appointed commander of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force would arrive at Kunming the day after tomorrow and hold an operational meeting, demanding that the commanders of all division-level units attend on time.

"Is Wei Lihuang here so early? Hehe, it's kind of interesting. ”
