Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Bin County,

33th Regiment Headquarters,

Guo Qiang prepared a banquet.

Tonight is a celebration drink.

When the old company commander's troops arrived,

All the bandits in the county were wiped out in just three days!

Wu Feng was particularly excited tonight because he was the first to achieve success!

Ever since Zhang Cuicui's death, he has been depressed and under great mental pressure. Today, he finally released most of it!

Tang Yantian and Yang Daokun were both a little unhappy.

Tang Yantian's first assault group didn't see a single bandit, and the same was true for Yang Daokun's battalion.

Only Wu Feng, who hid in the ravine, got the advantage!

at the banquet,

Guo Qiang, Ji Yuan, and Lin Tao all showed their joy.

Raise your glass frequently!

Their superiors asked them to establish a base in Bin County, and only today have they finally gained a foothold!

Tang Yantian didn't like drinking, and he reluctantly took a few sips of the glass of wine. Just then, the communicator brought a telegram, and he finally burst into laughter!

This is Yin Xinjun's call back to him.

In the afternoon, he sent a long telegram, reporting in detail the process of suppressing the bandits!

The reply was, come back quickly, the German tanks are ready!

Tang Yantian originally only served as the tank battalion commander. The reason why he hung the flag of the First Assault Group was because the number of tankers in this tank battalion had reached 600, but there were less than tanks at present!

Before Yin Xinjun went to Germany, he promised to expand his tank battalion into an armored assault brigade within a year! Tang Yantian was of course also actively preparing for this!

This time, Tang Yantian's tank crew only brought a small number of people, and the other half stayed at the base! And Yin Xinjun told him one thing, he brought back a lot of heavy equipment!

"Captain Guo, I'm full! I want to go back!"

Tang Yantian stood up!

His new equipment is here!

His first assault group is about to make its official debut!

Guo Qiang was stunned and said,

"Commander Tang, is it so urgent?"

"My brother-in-law asked me to go back for something!"

Guo Qiang picked up the wine glass.

"Okay! Then let's toast to you together!"

"By the way, my brother-in-law also said something. He wants you to send 100 people over for a technical training!"

Lin Tao immediately said excitedly,

"That's great, I'll arrange it now!"

After Tang Yantian and the others left,

Guo Qiang and his friends were still not full and continued to chat excitedly and drink.

These days, there is a convoy coming from Mulan County every day to transport supplies. Their tight days are finally gone!

"Captain, the superior is calling!"

Guo Qiang happily opened the telegram. He had sent the telegram as soon as the bandit suppression was over.

The message is as follows:

"A, congratulations on your unit's complete and clean elimination of the bandits in Bin County! B, I am now forwarding to you the Northeast Bureau's telegram on the establishment of the Northeast People's Autonomous Army and the next work priorities. I hope you will study and understand it carefully! C, after waiting for the brother troops to come over to take over, your unit should immediately advance to Suihua and Bei'an in the north, continue to suppress bandits along the way, and give the local people a stable home!"

Guo Qiang read out loudly,

"The Kuomintang army, with the active support of the United States, has now occupied the line from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou. Although the Kuomintang's situation is also very difficult, its troops are still gathering and preparing to advance to the three major cities and the Changchun railway line.

We must admit that it is now impossible to monopolize Manchuria by first occupying the three major cities and the Changchun railway trunk line.

Therefore, the basic policy for our current work in Manchuria should not be to focus all our attention on these three major cities, but to concentrate the necessary armed forces to deal possible blows to the Kuomintang troops on the Jinzhou and Shenyang fronts and buy time.

At the same time, other armed forces and cadres should be systematically and rapidly dispersed to North Manchuria, East Manchuria, and West Manchuria, including the vast rural areas, small and medium-sized cities, and strategic areas along the railway branches, in order to sweep away counter-revolutionary armed forces and bandits, eliminate traitor forces, mobilize the masses, expand the army, transform the regime, and establish a vast and consolidated base area outside the three major cities and on both sides of the Changchun railway trunk line. We must go through war and the establishment of base areas to achieve the goal of encircling and annihilating the enemy in the large cities and clamping the Changchun railway trunk line, so that we can gain overall advantages in the long-term struggle with the Kuomintang. "

Ji Yuan smiled and said,

"It seems that our approach coincides with the ideas of our superiors!"

Lin Tao also echoed and said,

"So, this time we were given a commendation notice!"

Guo Qiang sighed.

"The situation in Bin County has just stabilized, and we are about to be transferred again. This time to Bei'an, we have to go through Mulan County!"

Ji Yuan laughed and said,

"I think it's okay, let's go search the old company commander!"

Xinmin Town, Tank Training Base,

A group of soldiers gathered around several new tanks and discussed them curiously.

These tanks were just driven over by three commanders!

All made in Germany!

Two are Type 4H tanks and one is a Type 3 assault gun!

Their combat tanks weigh about 25 tons and are equipped with 75mm guns!

In terms of armor protection, mobility, and firepower, it is much more powerful than the Japanese tanks of the tank battalion!

In Yin Xinjun's space, the tanks brought back from Germany, after being repaired, are also varied and of various types. He counted that there are a total of 19 models and 187 vehicles!

He took out several tanks that were more suitable for the troops. After all, some tanks, such as the Tiger and Jagdpanther tank destroyers, had good performance but were too heavy. Under the traffic conditions in China, they were indeed difficult to use and could not pass many bridges!

Especially in the later stages of World War II, Germany blindly developed heavy tanks, which resulted in too low production and was beaten by Soviet tanks. This is also a profound lesson!

The two tanks selected by Yin Xinjun are the ones he plans to mass-produce in the future. Even on the Korean battlefield, these two tanks will not be outdated!

The three people looked at the extremely excited tank driver.

Yin Xinjun said,

"Tomorrow I will hold another technical training class here, specifically for tank training. Ding Shan, you must arrange for the various troops to participate in the training! Yan Tian, ​​notify the Eighth Route Army to participate as well!"

Ding Shan asked,

"We infantrymen are also participating in the training?"

Yin Xinjun pointed at the Type 3 assault gun.

"This tank is a self-propelled artillery. In the future, the 75mm guns of the infantry battalions will be gradually replaced by it. The speed and efficiency of the Type assault gun are much higher than those of towed artillery!"

Ding Shan said excitedly,

"Yes, Commander, I understand!"

Tang Yantian asked again,

"Brother-in-law, how many of these Type 4 tanks can we have this time?"

"This time we can give you fifteen Panzer IVs and six Panzer IIIs! However, once the industrial base is built, I estimate that by 48, we may be able to start mass production!"

The two of them giggled happily!
