Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Just follow me, and don't ask any more questions."

Lin Tian said mysteriously.

This aroused Zhou Weiguo's curiosity.

Soon the two of them reached the back mountain.

The back mountain originally consisted of some small hills, but after several months of continuous leveling, it was trimmed into a large open space.

It is divided into two areas, east and west, which are far apart from each other.

The east area is a farm, a horse stable and dozens of acres of farmland, raising more than 200 fat pigs and more than 500 sheep.

In addition, the cavalry company had more than 100 war horses and more than 300 pack horses, and dozens of fellow villagers were specially hired to feed them.

After all, there are thousands of people in a division, and the food they eat is far from enough just by relying on the food captured from the Japanese and the food donated by the common people.

Even if Lin Tian had no shortage of money to spend, he still had no place to buy food and meat.

After all, supplies were scarce in that era, and people had to leave food for their family and seeds for the next year.

It would be best to be self-sufficient, which is the strategy proposed by Liu Wu.

It has to be said that Liu Wu's countermeasures greatly alleviated the logistical pressure on the first division.

Lin Tian also praised this highly at the time, saying that Liu Wu was really thoughtful and comprehensive.

The west area is a group of cave dwellings, which are camouflaged around the caves. At this time, a group of people are gathered in the west area, with noisy voices and roaring machines.

It looks quite lively.

Lin Tian took Zhou Weiguo and walked quickly towards the crowd.

When everyone saw that it was Lin Tian, ​​they immediately lined up and waited for Lin Tian to arrive.

"salute!"

The leader Zhao Qulu shouted.

"Shh!"

A neat salute was heard.

"Hello, Commander!"

The soldiers looked determined, stood upright, and shouted loudly.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, comrades!"

Lin Tian saluted back to the soldiers.

The western area is where the tank company is stationed.

Because the back mountain has good concealment and a large open space has been built, Lin Tian used the western area of ​​the back mountain as the tank company's base and training ground.

"Commander, all the soldiers of the First Division Tank Company report to you!"

"The tank company is conducting tank structure explanation and driving training. Commander, please give us your instructions!"

Zhao Qulu raised his head and saluted.

"Very good, go on..."

Lin Tian smiled and said.

The tank company then disbanded its formation, and Zhao Qulu continued to explain the structure of the tank to the soldiers, with deputy company commander Sun Zhen assisting.

Everyone was in high spirits and studied very seriously.

Zhou Weiguo was stunned because there was a Russian T-34/85 medium tank parked in the open space in front of him.

Fortunately, Zhou Weiguo has become numb after experiencing the mental shock of the previous three armories.

But even though I was numb, I still felt extremely shocked.

I didn’t expect that the commander even had tanks!

Then he walked up to the tank, looked it over carefully, touched it here, knocked it there...

Lin Tian let Zhou Weiguo go and listened to Zhao Qulu's explanation on the side.

Zhao Qulu is indeed a professional tank driver, and he speaks very clearly.

The difficult words in the tank training manual were surprisingly easy to understand after he spoke them.

Lin Tian also listened attentively along with the soldiers.

After more than ten minutes, Zhao Qulu finally finished his explanation.

"Hey, Commander, what do you think of what I said?"

Zhao Qulu looked at Lin Tian and asked expectantly.

After all, he used to be from the Central Army. After coming to the First Division, he had never made any military achievements, so he was a little nervous.

"Haha, Qulu, you speak very well."

"Even I was fascinated by what he said. You are indeed a top student who graduated from the Army Academy."

Lin Tian patted Zhao Qulu's shoulder and encouraged him.

Lin Tian naturally knew what Zhao Qulu was thinking. Everything would be left to time...

However, the tank company's opportunity is about to come, but I don't know whether Zhao Qulu and his men can seize it.

Zhao Qulu was also very happy to hear Lin Tian's words. It seemed that he was quite good in the commander's heart, and his ability was also affirmed by the commander.

"Qilu, how far has the tank company been trained? Is it capable of fighting?"

Lin Tian asked.

"Reporting to the commander, all members of the tank company have now mastered the operation and maintenance knowledge of tanks, and we just carried out live-fire shooting training a few days ago, and the effect was very good."

"It can be said that the tank company now has preliminary combat effectiveness, and all that remains is actual combat experience!"

When Zhao Qulu talked about the tank company's training results, he was obviously less restrained. His eyes sparkled and he spoke excitedly.

"Really? I heard from your words that you are asking for a fight."

Lin Tian looked at Zhao Qulu and said.

When Zhao Qulu saw that his little trick was exposed by Lin Tian, ​​he smiled and scratched his head and said, "Hey, Commander, our tank company has long been thinking about galloping on the battlefield, so that the Japanese can also have a taste of the power of our Chinese tanks."

"Thinking of the time when the Japanese drove those broken tanks recklessly and recklessly, I feel angry."

"Damn, what the hell is this? If we have a chance to join the battle this time, we must let the devils know that there is a Chinese tank unit on this land that they cannot defeat!"

Zhao Qulu was in high spirits, his eyes full of surging fighting spirit, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

"Haha, great job!"

"Qilu, you have your battle to fight. The enemy's raid has already begun. Wait, this is the time for your tank company to show its prowess."

"It's just that the timing is not right yet. We should lie dormant for a few days and wait for the right opportunity. At the critical moment, we will inflict heavy damage on the Japanese and cut off a piece of our flesh from them."

"It's better to eat them all!"

Lin Tian looked into the distance, clenched his fists and said.

"That's great, Commander. The soldiers in our tank company are all holding back their anger. If the Japanese dare to come, we will have a place to vent our anger."

When Zhao Qulu heard Lin Tian’s words, he laughed excitedly.

"Drive the enemy away, fight the devils well, we are not limited to a tank company with only 13 tanks."

"What we want is a torrent of steel!"

"Just think about it, hundreds or thousands of tanks lined up in a row, running at full speed towards the Japanese, wouldn't that be beautiful? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Lin Tian's expression changed, and he spoke with a fierce look.

"Really, Commander?!"

Before Zhao Qulu could speak, Zhou Weiguo's head suddenly popped out from under the tank.

"My instructor when I was studying in Germany said that the key to victory in future wars would be airplanes and tanks, and the facts have proved this point."

"Germany's blitzkrieg relied on the mobility and high destructiveness of aircraft and tanks to strike quickly and unhindered."

"If China can also build a steel torrent of aircraft, tanks and roads as the commander said, then we dare to attack Tokyo!"

"When the time comes, we will definitely bring the Japs and the warmongers from the headquarters to justice and avenge the Chinese people."
