Chapter 55: Is this German-equipped division the Eighth Route Army?
The Japanese gathered two divisions and rushed angrily towards Suzhou, but along the way they were constantly hit by mines laid by the Eighth Route Army.
Various means were used, such as digging up the roadbed and blowing up the railway, to slow down their advance as much as possible and buy more time for the 78th Army.
At the same time, the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army will also send a large number of troops to participate in the battle, and the Kuomintang troops in the Second War Zone have also begun to gather and prepare to reinforce the 78th Army at any time.
Wang Chun was sitting in a T34-76 tank, which was a new equipment unlocked after accumulating 400 million attention points.
At the same time, many options such as armored vehicles and aircraft are unlocked.
Wang Chun exchanged 12 BF109 fighter planes and handed them over to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. They had some pilots there, but Wang Chun had no one who could fly them for the time being.
The only thing that could be strengthened now was the armored forces. A total of 32 T34-76s and a large number of ammunition, fuel, and accessories cost him nearly 30% of his attention.
It is useless to have more tanks without enough tank crews to operate them in combat.
This includes all the soldiers sent from the Second War Zone who have experience in driving tanks and armored vehicles.
Following the tanks was a mechanized infantry unit consisting of thirty trucks.
Wang Chun wanted to get some armored vehicles, but he was short of manpower and didn't know how to operate them, so even these drivers were cobbled together.
Of course, the largest expansion belongs to the artillery unit. Feng Ruming, the artillery regiment commander, has become a major general brigadier general.
一整个炮兵旅,而且是一个超额的炮兵旅,SFH18式30倍径150毫米榴弹炮12门,LeFH18型105榴弹炮36门。
1897 French 75 model 24mm cannons, to make up for the lack of light support artillery after all the 92 infantry guns were sold.
Wang Chun also exchanged 32 American-made M116 75mm pack howitzers and, of course, 12 Katyusha rocket launchers.
At the same time, there are divisional and regimental artillery belonging to various infantry units, as well as a large number of mortars, grenade launchers and other infantry support firepower.
At the same time, there are about 300 anti-aircraft guns and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns in the entire base to guard the airspace security of the base.
Three radar stations have been built around the base, which can detect the airspace situation within a radius of 3 kilometers!
Infantry weapons are now basically based on Zhongzheng rifles or Mauser rifles, and machine guns are mostly Maxim water-cooled machine guns and ZB-26 light machine guns Czech light machine guns to form light and heavy firepower.
At the same time, each infantry squad was equipped with two Type 40 light rifles, two MP98 submachine guns, a PPSh, a Mauser K sniper rifle, and a bazooka.
An infantry platoon has three such 16-man infantry squads, plus an additional fire support platoon with two Maxim heavy machine guns and two 3mm GrW81 mortars.
Such squad and platoon firepower was considered top-notch in that era, and was simply a luxury compared to the Japanese.
Wang Chun’s original words were, “The quality of our soldiers is not as good as that of the Japanese, so we will use our weapons and equipment to kill them.”
Anyway, as long as he keeps winning battles, the attention he gets will only increase, and his attention value will also increase.
Now there are nearly 400 million attention points in his system that have not been redeemed, and this attention value is still increasing, but not as horrible as when the news of the st Regiment being wiped out came out.
"Host, please note! New system tasks have been released!"
"Host, crush the Japanese attack on the base within one month!"
"Mission Reward: A small intelligent integrated arsenal! Also complete a gold-level attention mission! Attention value reward of 1000 million!"
"Penalty for mission failure: annihilation!"
Shit! This time the mission is no longer about biology, but just two simple words: kill!
"Accept the mission!"
There is no doubt that we have to accept that we need to crush the Japanese attack within a month. If the 78th Army is equipped with weapons and equipment as it is now, it should not be a problem.
But the battlefield has never been determined solely by equipment. Human factors still play a big role, especially in this era.
The human factor is even more prominent! There is no way to complete the task earlier, so we can only keep buying.
Once again, a large amount of equipment was exchanged and sent to the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army. This time, the Eighth Route Army troops were needed to come here to receive it.
In fact, it is a disguised invitation for part of the main force of the 120th Division to come here for reinforcement.
In fact, Wang Chun didn't need to consider it, because the 120th Division was a main column and was already on the way to Guancen Mountain.
The Eighth Route Army has expanded rapidly in recent years, which has led to a shortage of weapons and equipment in many units, just like the more than 7000 soldiers who came to reinforce.
They didn't even have a decent artillery company, only a captured 92mm infantry gun and a dozen mortars.
Many soldiers didn't even have a rifle, and could only follow the main force with two grenades in their arms.
Most of the equipment Wang Chun sent to the Eighth Route Army was sent to the headquarters and the 129th Division. The 120th Division only received some of the equipment recently.
Knowing that they were going to reinforce this time, they would probably be able to get a lot of good stuff from the 78th Army, so everyone was looking forward to it.
But when they saw the equipment allocated to them by the 78th Army, they were all dumbfounded.
Is this what Wang Jun meant by shabby? If this is shabby, then the rest of the Eighth Route Army is even worse than beggars.
Wang Chun equipped their 7000-strong Eighth Route Army with German-equipped divisions, instead of giving them a German-made M1935 helmet and a Zhongzheng or Mauser rifle like the National Army did!
This is a genuine German-equipped division. The only difference is that the MG-34 general-purpose machine gun has been replaced with a Maxim heavy machine gun. There is basically no other difference.
Mortars, field guns, and 15 105 howitzers, not to mention the gas masks issued to everyone!
The 120th Column of the Eighth Route Army was a re-equipped unit of the Third Column. Who could recognize that they were a unit of the Eighth Route Army? They were definitely an infantry division of the German Wehrmacht.
Three meals a day, each with meat, scared the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were used to having a steamed bun or a roasted sweet potato for each meal. They wondered if the 78th Army was doing it for them.
Even their underwear had to be pawned, which was unacceptable to them, especially since some commanders knew that the 78th Army was actually just a peripheral force of their own.
They were even more worried that the 78th Army would be bankrupted and collapsed! It was not until Wang Chun took some of them to see the 78th Army's warehouse that they were relieved!
The Third Column has been training with the troops of the 78th Army in the past few days, learning from each other's strengths and tactics.
Some guerrillas of the 129th Division, who had just been delaying the Japanese and retreating into the base, almost dropped their jaws when they saw the army in front of them.
Because the elite German-equipped division in front of them was actually a unit of their Eighth Route Army, how could they not be surprised.
At first, no one dared to believe it, until they saw the Eighth Route Army logo printed on the armbands of every member of the Third Column. Only then did they have to accept the reality that this well-equipped division was their Eighth Route Army.
