Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

"salute!"

Leading the way is the regiment's tank commander, Xiao Qiming, whose military rank is colonel!

The Military Commission did not stipulate that local troops could not create armored units, but in fact, except for the National Guard, no local army had the ability to create an armored unit, not even Commander Yan, the local rich man in Shanxi Province.

Under such circumstances, with the combined strength of the entire Tang Dynasty, the National Guard only had one Armored 200th Division. After many battles, it was reorganized into a mechanized infantry division. Its armored strength was greatly weakened, but it was still the elite among the elite!

The armored regiment can be considered as a division-level unit, or it may not be. However, because Xu Le had other concerns, he only reported the appointment of officers of the four infantry regiments to the Military Commission, and did not report the appointment of officers of the armored regiment and artillery regiment.

Therefore, Xiao Qiming only has a military position and rank, but has not been officially appointed to a military rank. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is just a private!

The shameless Xu Le plagiarized many rules of the Chinese army in the previous life, but he did not blush, saying: We are all Chinese, we are all descendants of the dragon, and this is to carry forward the Chinese culture!

The commanders of the other tanks also saluted in the direction of Xu Le through the roof covers of their vehicles. The whole scene was solemn and dignified!

"Young Marshal, this?" This time General Tong called him Young Marshal directly, removing the "Xu" from the name, which implied a closer relationship!

Seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, Xu Le waved his hand and said, "Everyone, this is the main battle tank of our armored regiment! It weighs 36 tons and can adapt to various complex terrains. Its main weapons are a 100mm tank gun and two machine guns.

As for armor protection, let's put it this way, our tanks can stand in front of the Japanese tanks and they can shoot at us without any problem! "

Wow...

Everyone was dumbfounded again. What Xu Le said was really too unbelievable!

The devil's Bean Tank, also known as the Bean Chariot, is the nickname given by the Tang Dynasty army to the devil's Type 94 tank. It got this name because it is small in size, like a bean.

Its total weight was more than 3 tons, and its thickest armor was only 12 mm. Even so, the Japanese used this tank to inflict huge losses on the Tang Dynasty army.

"Young Marshal! Are you sure you're right? This tank weighs 36 tons? The main weapon of the Japanese tank is a 7.7 caliber machine gun, which is quite powerful!"

Although the appearance of the Type 59 tank can easily prove this point, the knowledgeable General Tong has lost his composure and asked such an unprofessional question!

"Not to mention the machine guns, even the Japanese rapid-fire cannons can't cause any damage to my tanks! As for the other things, I can't say more!"

Having said this, everyone fell silent. Those present were all experienced generals who knew the importance of equipment data to a unit. It was enough for them to know these performances of the Type 59 tank!

While General Tong was struggling internally, the tank convoy had already left the center of the field, and was replaced by the armored regiment's main combat equipment, the armored battalion's Type 63 tracked armored vehicles, but there were only three of them!

Seeing Commander Wei looking at him eagerly, Xu Le did not wait for him to speak and explained: "This is our army's armored vehicle, but unlike the Japanese armored vehicles, our armored vehicle not only has 14mm steel plate protection on the front, but also has a huge internal space, which can transport an infantry squad of soldiers to accompany the tanks in combat! It is one of the important weapons and equipment for our army's infantry-tank coordinated combat!"

Commander Wei's butt had not completely left the seat, but he swallowed and sat back, with a mixture of thoughts in his mind!

The coordinated combat between infantry and tanks in today's world is still immature. Basically, soldiers climb onto the roof of the tank and walk together. Once an emergency occurs, these soldiers will become sitting ducks!

"No wonder Xu Le is victorious in every battle. If I had such tanks and armored vehicles, I could attack Taiyuan directly!"

.....

Next, the artillery regiment came on stage, but only the Bofors mountain gun was present. The L118 howitzer and Type 54-1 howitzer did not appear. The latter was the heavy firepower of the troops and it was not convenient to display it for the time being.

However, in order to demonstrate its artillery support capabilities, the artillery regiment borrowed artillery from two independent regiments' artillery battalions, a total of 36 75mm Bofors mountain guns, all towed by Unimog trucks, divided into 12 columns and slowly driven across the center of the field.

This invariably caused the military and civilians on the field to cheer again. Although the people did not know the quality of the artillery, they were happy when they saw the number. The more the number, the more shells could be fired!

Commander Yan and Commander Wei did not react much to this. After all, Commander Yan had also purchased a lot of Bofors mountain cannons from Xu Le, so he had long known that Xu Le must have a lot of cannons.

The representatives of other local troops were more surprised. They wiped their saliva and looked at Xu Le with blazing eyes. They almost rushed up to grab Xu Le's collar and shouted:

"I want to buy it, will you sell it?"

However, this impulse only flashed through their minds for a moment and then disappeared. They were all smart people, and everyone knew why Xu Le organized the military parade!

Who dares to encounter this bad luck? It would be because they are tired of living!

"Everyone, this is our air defense battalion, which is specially used to deal with the Japanese planes. In the previous Hejin battle, the air defense battalion destroyed and damaged dozens of Japanese planes with zero damage, laying the foundation for our army to successfully capture Hejin!"

Xu Le did not let the infantry regiment's anti-aircraft machine gun company appear. This was nothing more than firing 12.7mm caliber machine guns into the air. There was no need to show off much.

The Type 72 85mm anti-aircraft artillery battalion is a powerful weapon for protecting the headquarters. Its importance is self-evident and it cannot be displayed until the critical moment.

So the anti-aircraft battalion directly under the division headquarters was called into action. The Type 74 twin-barreled 37mm anti-aircraft machine gun was enough to deter any air force in the world today!

After listening to Xu Le's introduction, General Tong's eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly!

Commissioner Wei hurriedly stepped forward to stand in front of General Tong, stopping him from rushing to Xu Le!

"Commissioner Wei, what are you doing? Don't stop me. You should know what I want to do. This is a major national plan and there is no time to waste!"

Commissioner Wei shook his head slightly and said, "General, please be patient. It won't take a moment! Marshal Xu has given us too many shocks. Why don't we wait until the parade is over and we have seen all the equipment before we discuss it!"

After hearing this, General Tong sighed lightly and slowly sat back!
