"Comrades, I'm not bragging, but any regiment in the entire 18th Regiment cannot compare to us in terms of weapons and equipment.”
"Do you see that? It's an authentic German-made infantry cannon, 75mm, with a range of 3,800 meters. It can fire grenades and shrapnel.”
"This is our battalion's infantry artillery company. There is also a heavy weapons company. You are familiar with the company commander. Zhu Zi, bring the team over.”
Yang Chen pointed at the infantry cannon and began to introduce it in detail. He then ordered Wang Chengzhu of the Heavy Weapons Company to lead the team over.
Soon, six MG34 machine guns, four machine guns, and four mortars were brought over.
Many of these veterans were from the new regiment or the independent regiment. They all knew Wang Chengzhu.
After looking at the weapons and equipment of the heavy weapons company, they revealed an expression of disbelief.
"Do you see this machine gun? This is a German-made general-purpose machine gun. With a tripod, it's a light machine gun. With a tripod, it's a heavy machine gun.”
"This machine gun uses 50 rounds of ammunition as a heavy machine gun. These rounds can be connected to form a 250-round ammunition chain.”
Yang Chen took out the best weapons and equipment of the Assault Battalion, and first, he told them that these veterans were all treasures.
"A battalion with a dozen cannons. Not even a brigade, let alone a regiment, would have such an arrangement.”
"Amazing, really amazing. The troops are really rich, and they even have German-made weapons. No wonder they always win.”
"Battalion Commander, don't worry, we can guarantee that we can bring out the best performance of such good weapons.”
The seasoned soldiers spoke up one by one. Seeing such good weapons and equipment, they were tempted.
Thinking back to the previous battle with the Japanese, his team always lacked all kinds of heavy weapons to support the battle, and suffered a lot.
Looking at the assault battalion's heavy weapons, the veterans 'blood began to boil. They couldn't wait to rely on these heavy weapons to fight the Japanese.
While Yang Chen was talking to the seasoned soldier, Wei Zhen had already brought his men to prepare dinner.
There were still steamed buns, canned food, and stewed vegetables.
When the veterans saw the food, they almost drooled. In the old army, they could not eat such good food.
This time, the veterans were more confident in joining the Assault Battalion. They were even more convinced of Yang Chen as the Battalion Commander.
As the most ordinary warrior, who wouldn't be willing to follow a superior who could let them eat well and always win battles?
Zhao Ze was impressed by Yang Chen's arrangement. He had other matters to attend to, so he left first.
After dinner, Yang Chen distributed the veterans.
After obtaining the relevant weapons and equipment, Yang Chen had already recruited some new recruits. Now, with the addition of 100 veterans, the army was full.
After replenishing the 100 seasoned soldiers to each company, Yang Chen let the troops go back to rest. The Assault Battalion now had a total of 900 soldiers.
Including the youths in charge of military supplies led by Wei Zhen, the assault battalion had more than a thousand people.
Li Yunlong and the other troops had only about 1,000 people in a regiment.
Currently, due to the cage policy and the need to fight behind enemy lines, most of the divisions were in small regiments.
Everyone else could rest, but Yang Chen couldn't. He spent the night writing a training outline based on the guidance skills in Skill Pack B.
More than half of the Assault Battalion had just been replenished. Regardless of whether they were new recruits or veterans, they had to familiarize themselves with the Assault Battalion's weapons and equipment.
Yang Chen also needed to train the original soldiers of the Assault Battalion in other aspects.
For example, they could disassemble and maintain weapons, repair some small problems, and have more tacit cooperation between infantry and artillery.
Next was the Artillery Unit and the Special Combat Platoon. The training of these two units required Yang Chen to do it himself.
The night passed quickly. Early in the morning, the Fierce Tiger Assault Battalion gathered at the grain-pounding field outside Nanzhuang Village.
There were a total of 900 people with all their weapons and equipment. They had cannons and light and heavy machine guns, making them look especially imposing.
It was worth mentioning that the system reward this time not only gave the corresponding weapons, but also the corresponding equipment such as helmets.
The uniform and the steel helmets were extremely imposing.
The nearby commoners ran over to watch. Their eyes were wide open. They were as shocked as they could be.
The people in the vicinity could often see the 18th Army, and the militia in the village was also established by the 18th Army.
In their impression, the 18th Army was poorly equipped, with only a few machine guns for hundreds of people.
In this situation, it was still considered good. Most of the troops were armed with rifles.
As for the militia, they were all equipped with cold weapons such as sabers and spears.
But now, the weapons and equipment of the Ferocious Tiger Assault Battalion had opened their eyes.
"Did you see that? This is the development of our village's militia. That high-ranking official is from our Nanzhuang Village.”
"Yang Chen is really too powerful. Look at those machine guns and cannons. They're not inferior to the Japanese at all.”
"With such a team, I want to see how long the Japanese can be arrogant. Yang Chen will definitely teach them a lesson.”
"What a pity. My son also wanted to join, but he didn't want it. If there's a chance next time, I'll definitely let my son join.”
The commoners discussed animatedly. The appearance of the Assault Battalion had shocked them, and at the same time, they had strengthened their belief that they would win this war.
Immediately after, the Fierce Tiger Assault Battalion began their intense training.
Fortunately, the Japanese were reorganizing their 4th Brigade, so there was no battle.
In the next few days, the assault battalion focused on training in all aspects.
Monk Wei and Zhou Baoguo's Special Combat Platoon were constantly carrying out armed training, and at the same time, they were in charge of scouting the outside world.
Yang Chen spent most of his time in charge of the team's training. At first, he even led the Special Combat Platoon into action, but in the end, he completely handed over the responsibility to Monk Wei and Zhou Baoguo.
Time passed bit by bit, and the training of the assault battalion gradually showed results.
However, as time passed, some news gradually came from the special forces platoon.
The Japanese had successfully formed the Fourth Brigade. They set up the Exploration Team Department in Tian Town while the rest of the teams were deployed around Tian Town.
At the same time, the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the First Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Association Army also arrived.
These two regiments were deployed around Yang Town and Liu Town.
By the middle of March, the Japanese and puppet army had more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in the strongholds along the railway, highway, and towns.
At this point, the Fierce Tiger Assault Battalion, the New Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and other units that were active in the Gray Cloud Ridge area were gradually surrounded by these Japanese and puppet troops.
The deployment of the Japanese army was like a huge triangle, covering the entire Gray Cloud Ridge.
