If Yu Zhiqian were to face a Japanese exploration team a day ago, he would not have been confident in defeating them.
However, after Zhao Gang transported a battalion of American equipment back yesterday, Yu Zhiqian was absolutely confident that he could take down the Japanese exploration team.
Because Yu Zhiqian had an armored battalion.
The American armored battalion consisted of two medium-sized tank companies and an armored transport company.
The two medium-sized tank companies each had 17 M4 Sherman tanks. The two companies and the two M4 Sherman tanks in the battalion had a total of 36 medium-sized tanks.
In addition, there were 17 tracked combat vehicles and 15 jeeps.
The arrival of this armored battalion made Yu Zhiqian no longer afraid of the Japanese ground troops in the entire northwestern and central Shanxi region.
Even if the armored regiment of the Japanese came, Yu Zhiqian could still arm-wrestle with him.
However, the only thing they needed to worry about was the problem of air superiority. Yu Zhiqian did not have an airport and no aircraft. If the armored battalion's location was exposed, the Japanese would be easily damaged if they sent out their air force to bomb.
However, Yu Zhiqian felt that it was profitable to use an armored battalion to take down a Japanese exploration team.
Yu Zhiqian felt that an armored battalion, along with the second and third infantry battalions, would be enough to take down the Japanese exploration team.
Yu Zhiqian already had an idea.
When Yu Zhiqian walked out of the camp and was about to announce the mission.
He suddenly realized that the soldiers in his camp were all wearing tattered military uniforms and holding old-fashioned weapons.
Where were his American equipment? Why was it that an American infantry regiment suddenly had equipment that was worse than bandits?
"Monk, monk, what happened?”
At this moment, the monk walked out in a patched military uniform and said,""Guild Leader, wasn't this your order? He told us to wear ragged clothes today.”
When Yu Zhiqian heard this, he suddenly remembered what had happened. He patted his head and almost forgot about it.
Today was the day the 65th Division delivered supplies.
Previously, when Yu Zhiqian had taken down Wan Clan Ridge and reported the results of the battle, he had described himself as a little miserable. He had wanted to ask for more supplies, so he had specially ordered the soldiers to wear old clothes and carry old weapons on board.
However, she had forgotten about it when she was busy.
"Yes, I know. Is she here?”
"Guild Leader, they're here."
"I'll change my clothes. Bring me over to take a look later.”
Chen Jiagou Residence.
At this moment, the 65th Division's logistics supply team had transported a large number of supplies to Chenjiagou.
"Is this the base of the 357th Regiment?”
A soldier asked in disbelief.
When had their Jinsui Army ever been so down and out?
Although Taiyuan had failed, Officer Yan had been in Jin for many years.
Therefore, even without Taiyuan City, the Jin Sui Army never lacked food and clothing, and they also had sufficient weapons and ammunition.
Just look at Chu Yunfei from Regiment 358.
A regiment was already the size of a brigade.
Not only were there a large number of people, but they also had sufficient weapons and ammunition. There was also a cannon battalion.
These transport teams had just finished delivering supplies to Regiment 358 two days ago. When they arrived at Regiment 357, they only had one feeling. Were they not a group of bandits?
There were also soldiers wearing the Japanese military uniform inside out.
Yu Zhiqian deliberately changed into an old military uniform. It was the military uniform he wore when he fought in the Gray Cloud Ridge. There were still blood stains on it.
The military uniform was damaged in a few places, and he didn't have time to patch it up before he wore it. The clothes of a regiment commander weren't even as new as the clothes of some commoners.
"Hello, sir!"
The lieutenant colonel looked at Yu Zhiqian and hesitated for a moment before saying,""You are Yu Zhiqian, the leader of the 357th Regiment?”
"Reporting, sir. It's me."
Yu Zhiqian looked at the soldiers under him and felt that they had gone overboard with their acting.
"What happened to your 357th Regiment?”
Hearing this, Yu Zhiqian sighed and said,"Sir, you might not know this, but after the battle at the Gray Cloud Ridge, our regiment only has one company left. These are the remnants of the soldiers I have gathered and the soldiers I have recruited during this period of time. However, the supplies given by the higher-ups are not much, so we can only make do with them.”
"You relied on these weapons to conquer the Wan Clan Ridge?”
"Yes, sir. Although our equipment is outdated and not as good as the Japanese, the Japanese are still human. As long as we dare to risk our lives, the Japanese will be afraid of us!”
Yu Zhiqian said righteously.
When this quartermaster arrived, he had already received orders from his cousin, Chen Changhe, to take care of the 357th Regiment and see if they needed anything. When he returned, he would make up for it.
Now, it seemed that the 357th Regiment was not lacking anything, but everything.
"These are the places where your soldiers live?”
He pointed at the tents. They were all camouflaged tents that looked like they were pieced together.
"Sir, the station is still under construction. It will be fine after a while.”
The quartermaster looked at Yu Zhiqian and patted him on the shoulder."You guys have worked hard! You can sign for these supplies first. When I return, I will immediately report it to the division commander and allocate supplies for you. Don't worry, our Jinsui Army will not let our brothers suffer!”
The quartermaster glanced at the soldiers around him. What good soldiers. They were dressed in tattered clothes and held old-fashioned weapons, but they could still take down Wan Jia Ridge.
This was the direct line of descent of the Jinsui Army, and they had just made a great contribution. The army that his cousin, the commander, had specifically mentioned to pay attention to, was not the Sichuan Army that had no one to support them.
If others found out, it would definitely be a dereliction of duty. Fortunately, there were no reporters who came to interview him this time. Otherwise, the Jinsui Army would lose a lot of face. When they returned, they had to report the truth and fight for more supplies for the 357th Regiment.
