Chapter 144 Training the National Defense Army
The indigenous people of Gaoshan Island once had a famous saying: If your civilization requires us to bow down, then I will show you our barbaric pride.
After several days, Shen Yingxiong finally gathered all the officers and soldiers of the 17th Army.
He stood on the platform and said loudly: "Brothers, our number has been cancelled by the President."
"Now the 17th Army has officially been changed to the National Defense Army, and I will serve as the commander of the National Defense Army."
"The positions of the rest of the officers and soldiers will remain unchanged. Rest assured, their treatment will not change either. It will only get better and better."
"We have nearly 30,000 National Defense Army soldiers, and they will be reorganized into two armored divisions after undergoing intensive training."
"We still have something to do to bring honor to our family, and history will record this moment," Shen Yingxiong said excitedly.
"Long live the commander-in-chief, long live the commander-in-chief!" the officers and soldiers below the stage shouted in unison.
"Okay, okay, the morale is commendable. We will distribute weapons and equipment from now on." Shen Yingxiong nodded with satisfaction.
Following Shen Yingxiong's order, the troops unloaded large boxes from trucks, which were filled with various advanced weapons and equipment.
There are the Yan-12.7 34mm rocket launcher, the Yan-43mm heavy machine gun, the Yan-type MG- general-purpose machine gun, the Yan-type G semi-automatic rifle, and so on.
These are all brand new weapons with excellent performance, which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.
There are a total of 300 Type 2 and Type 4 Flame tanks nearby.
In addition, there are armored vehicles, 81mm mortars, 75mm anti-tank guns, 105mm howitzers, 155mm howitzers, anti-aircraft guns, etc.
There are also a large number of military trucks, motorcycles and jeeps.
As for self-propelled artillery, there is no configuration. The above is all the equipment of the two armored divisions.
The officers and soldiers of the National Protection Army were so fond of these weapons, especially the semi-automatic rifles, that they couldn't let go.
"I never dared to dream that we would be able to use such a good gun in our lifetime." A soldier said excitedly.
"Yes, have you seen this general-purpose machine gun? This kind of general-purpose machine gun is only available in the President's direct troops."
"None of the President's own troops have these semi-automatic rifles," another soldier added excitedly.
"Is this a rocket launcher? This is the first time I've seen it. I heard that one shot can destroy a light tank." An officer looked at the rocket launcher in his hand curiously.
"See the tanks and armored vehicles near us? These are from our National Defense Army."
"And those cannons. I never could have imagined that these equipment belonged to our ragtag troops." An old soldier said with emotion.
"Yes!" everyone echoed.
The arrival of these new equipment greatly boosted the morale of the National Protection Army.
However, the officers and soldiers soon noticed a problem.
That is, their equipment is significantly different from that of the Yan State Armored Division stationed here.
"Hey, why is our equipment a little different from that of the Yan Country Armored Division here?" a soldier asked puzzledly.
Another soldier continued, "Yeah, look at this tank, the caliber seems to be a lot smaller."
Someone else pointed to the general-purpose machine gun and said, "They also use general-purpose machine guns, but their appearance is different from ours."
"Is that a self-propelled artillery? This is the first time I've seen this type." someone asked curiously.
"Wow, their uniforms are so handsome!" a young soldier couldn't help but exclaimed.
At this time, the old soldier next to him reminded him: "Don't be envious, they are the direct line of Yan country's troops, how can we compare with them?"
While everyone was talking, Shen Yingxiong noticed that all the officers and soldiers had received their equipment, so he shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet!"
"From now on, you will receive training from the Yan Kingdom Armored Division."
"You have to do whatever they tell you to do."
"If you feel you can't bear this hardship, get out of here as soon as possible."
All the officers and soldiers answered in unison: "Yes, Commander."
Shen Yingxiong walked into the headquarters of the armored division. When he saw Lieutenant General Zhao Xuannan, he immediately saluted with a standard military salute and said loudly: "Sir, my troops will be handed over to you for training from now on."
Lieutenant General Zhao Xuannan smiled and waved his hand, saying cordially: "No need to be so polite, just call me Old Zhao."
Shin Young-woong was a little reserved, but still answered firmly, "Yes, sir."
Afterwards, Lieutenant General Zhao Xuannan quickly arranged for the armored division to start training for the two troops belonging to Shen Yingxiong.
As for the artillery, since they already have their own artillery units, they don't need to learn too much.
The focus is on mastering the operating skills of armored vehicles, tanks and other equipment, as well as the tactical essentials of coordinated operations between infantry and tanks.
During the training, some troops focused on learning how to use rocket launchers and semi-automatic rifles.
As for the troops responsible for learning tank armor, priority will be given to soldiers who have experience in driving vehicles or have a certain level of cultural literacy.
Of course, the training of special arms is just a brief introduction. The most critical task at present is to cultivate the tactical qualities of the infantry so that they can skillfully use various tactics.
Under the careful guidance of the armored division, Shen Yingxiong's two troops gradually got on track and the training effect was significantly improved.
The chief of staff walked up to Shen Yingxiong and said, "Commander, our troops have received such rigorous training and have so many well-equipped weapons."
"We are absolutely confident that we can take Gaoshan Island!"
"You know, this island is tens of thousands of square kilometers, and there are about one division and two brigades of Dongyang troops stationed on this island."
"Although they have more people than us, we can crush them with our advanced equipment advantage."
Shen Yingxiong nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with confidence, and responded: "That's right, as long as we can successfully capture Gaoshan Island, Yan Country will subsequently form a powerful air force for us."
"Plus, we have two powerful armored divisions. This is a top-level configuration that even the President has never had."
“By then, even if the president is willing to act, he will have to think carefully and act with caution.”
The chief of staff frowned and asked in confusion: "But I really can't understand why the Emperor of Yan State supports us so strongly?"
“Is it just for that little bit of oil field?”
“Is there a deeper purpose behind this?”
Shen Yingxiong pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "These issues are beyond our ability to guess, so there is no need to dwell on them too much now."
The Chief of Staff nodded in agreement and replied, "Yes, Sir."
Subsequently, Shen Yingxiong and some senior officers received some combat training from armored division officers.
Like a hungry young eagle, it greedily learned how to command an armored division and how to form the greatest combat effectiveness.
