The expansion of four infantry regiments and one artillery regiment was not surprising. After all, the 358th Regiment originally had three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion. It was expected to be expanded into regiments.
Special agent companies, reconnaissance companies, and security companies were also standard equipment for division and brigade level combat units.
But…
What was the meaning of the Air Defense Guard Battalion, Mechanized Logistics Battalion, and Armored Battalion?
Just when everyone was puzzled, Chu Yunfei spoke again.
He did not hide anything and explained directly,"The so-called air defense guard battalion is equipped with air defense anti-aircraft guns and specializes in defending the Japanese fighter planes in the air. When our department is fighting with the Japanese, it can ensure that our soldiers will not be bombarded and harassed by the Japanese fighter planes!”
"As the saying goes, before the troops and horses move, the food and grass should be given priority. The mechanized logistics battalion is equipped with cars and motorcycles. His responsibility is to ensure the logistics supply of our troops during the war!”
Hearing Chu Yunfei's explanation, everyone was enlightened. However, no one understood what the armored battalion was.
Only a few officers seemed to have thought of something, and their faces revealed a touch of shock, but they did not dare to believe it. Their bodies trembled as they looked at their seats, waiting for Chu Yunfei to continue.
They didn't have to wait long before Chu Yunfei said,""As for the last armored battalion…"
"All of them will be equipped with tanks and armored vehicles and become the vanguard of the First Independent Mixed Brigade!”
"Boom!"
The moment he said this, the four of them were shocked!
As soon as he said that, everyone present was in an uproar!
Everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces. They simply could not believe their ears and almost thought that they had heard wrongly!
Equipment tanks and armored vehicles!
How was this possible?
Did they have their own armored tanks?!
Was the traveler joking?
However, when they saw the traveler's serious face, they immediately knew that the traveler was not joking!
He was serious!
Many veterans could not help but secretly pinch their own arms. The pain clearly showed that everything was real!
Hiss…
Some of the seasoned soldiers couldn't help but gasp.
Many of the veterans in Regiment 358 had come down from the Taiyuan Battle or even the Battle of Shanghai. They naturally knew what tanks represented!
It meant despair and death!
Once their enemy had a tank, it meant that the battle they were about to encounter would become very critical!
The appearance of tanks was almost equivalent to crushing the ground!
And now, their traveler told them that they were about to have their own armored battalion. How could they not be shocked?!
"Guild Leader, is…is this true?”
An officer was still in disbelief and subconsciously confirmed.
"Of course it's true!"
Chu Yunfei said without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed from disbelief to ecstasy!
"That's great! We finally have our own tank!”
"Motherf * cker, in the past, we were always bullied by the Japanese tanks on the battlefield. This time, we finally have our own tanks.”
"F * ck, if we were to really talk about not being afraid of death, the Japanese would not be our match at all. However, it was because they had tanks that they were able to defeat us. This time, we also have tanks. I want to see what the Japanese can do next time!”
"Motherf * cker, this time we can finally hold our heads high!”
"It's not easy!"
Many of the seasoned soldiers were trembling with excitement, but even more of them had tears flowing down their faces.
Tears of sadness!
The disadvantage of these weapons needed to be made up for with blood and lives!
The four infantry regiments and artillery regiments all had their regiment commanders. As for the armored battalion and the empty guard battalion, they were temporarily under the direct command of the brigade headquarters because they could not find a military commander for the time being.
After the announcement of the appointment, it was finally time for the moment that all the recruits were looking forward to the most, which was the " gun ceremony."
Chu Yunfei didn't waste any time. He waved his hand, and boxes were carried up one by one and placed on the empty space in front of the recruits.
The soldiers opened the boxes one by one, revealing the brand-new rifles inside.
Seeing this, all the recruits could not help but breathe harder, and their eyes revealed a touch of eagerness.
Chu Yunfei picked up a rifle and said,"This gun is called the Mauser 98K Rifle. It's produced in Germany and is equipped with a standard weapon. Its shooting accuracy, recoil, and stability are much better than the Zhongzheng Type of our Republic of China and the Japanese's 38th Cover. It can adapt to all kinds of harsh environments and is considered a very cost-effective rifle! There are many units equipped with this kind of rifle in our Republic of China army. The ones equipped with the most are the few German Machinists under the chairman…"
After a brief introduction, Chu Yunfei said,""After the rifle is issued, immediately start training and familiarize yourself with the performance of the new gun as soon as possible. Use the fastest time to form combat effectiveness. Don't wait until the war to give me diarrhea.”
The group leaders said in unison.
Seeing this, Chu Yunfei didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and said,""Send it down!"
Hearing this, the soldiers immediately burst into cheers. Then, the commanders began to distribute guns to their soldiers in order.
Not long after, every soldier had a rifle in their hands. They couldn't help but rub it with their hands, and their faces revealed an excited expression.
Although they had only been given rifles and not bullets, the soldiers were already very excited to be able to get their hands on rifles.
These recruits were all ordinary people before joining the army. How could they have touched a gun? Now that they could own a rifle, they were naturally very excited.
There were even some strong warriors who were holding machine guns and gesticulating happily, attracting the envious gazes of the surrounding recruits.
