You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

Both of these divisions are standard, lean and efficient units consisting of three regiments and one artillery piece.

Three fully equipped infantry regiments.

The entire team consisted of personnel from various system teams, fully equipped with 98k rifles, MP-40 submachine guns, MG34 general-purpose machine guns, 81mm mortars, anti-tank rifles, and other equipment.

Radios were deployed down to the infantry battalion level.

In addition, there was an artillery regiment equipped with 24 75mm mountain guns and 12 105mm mountain guns, which were mainly pulled by mules and horses.

In addition, there are supporting divisional logistics battalions, armored companies, reconnaissance companies, engineer companies, communications companies, medical teams, etc.

All things considered, a division has more than 15,000 people.

To establish these two divisions, he spent nearly 1.5 million silver dollars, plus 25,000 merit points.

But it was worth the money.

These two divisions are not newly recruited soldiers, but "veterans" directly provided by the system who have received complete training in the full set of Hans infantry manuals. They only need a short period of adaptation to form combat capability.

Secondly, there were the original three divisions—the 107th Division, the newly formed 15th Division, and the 112th Division.

These past few months have been busy; under the relentless training of those systematic instructors, the reorganization and training work has been very effective.

Although the equipment mainly consisted of Type 24 rifles, Hanyang rifles, Czech-made rifles, and Type 24 rifles, the soldiers' tactical skills and discipline had undergone a complete transformation compared to before.

It is expected that by mid-February, the initial integrated training will be completed, and the troops will be deployed to fight against the Japanese.

Furthermore, there is the Legion's absolute ace, the First Honor Brigade.

This brigade has now completed a complete motorized and armored transformation.

It comprises two motorized infantry regiments, all equipped with trucks and half-tracks.

Two tank battalions, equipped with 16 Panzer III tanks and 24 38t light tanks.

One assault artillery battalion, 24 Jagdpanzer 144 tanks.

An armored reconnaissance battalion equipped with Sd.Kfz.234 and Sd.Kfz.222 wheeled armored vehicles.

A motorized logistics battalion.

The most frightening thing was the self-propelled artillery battalion, with 24 Bison II 150mm self-propelled howitzers, ready to charge alongside the tank units at any time and provide timely fire support.

Such an armored brigade, once its armored torrent begins to roll, would not be easily stopped by the Japanese, and even on the European battlefield, the average infantry or armored divisions of Gaul in 39 would not be able to withstand it.

Finally, and this is Lin Feng's most recent and proudest achievement, the Legion's directly subordinate artillery division.

It has two towed artillery regiments under its command, equipped with a total of 72 howitzers of various types with a diameter of 105 mm or larger. The main force consists of a large number of Le.FH 18 105 mm howitzers purchased by the system, plus captured Japanese artillery and artillery abandoned by friendly forces "picked up" on the way back.

All 72 cannons were towed by half-track vehicles and trucks.

There is also a rocket artillery regiment equipped with 36 six-tube 150mm rocket launchers.

The thought of those things firing in unison was exhilarating to Lin Fengguang.

Once a sea of ​​fire engulfs everything, all fortifications will be reduced to ashes.

"Yes, we've accumulated a lot of wealth, but we can't just leave it there to look at."

Lin Feng put down the staffing list, stroked his chin, and began to ponder:

"We need to put them to the test."

Next week, we'll have the newly formed 16th Division and the Independent 1st Division each send out a regiment to conduct a regimental-level joint offensive and defensive combat exercise.

It will also broaden the horizons of those guys from the 107th Division, the New 15th Division, and the 112th Division, letting them see what modern warfare is all about.

Gain some experience, so you won't be clueless when you actually get on the battlefield.

The more he thought about it, the more necessary it seemed:

"Then, before the Pengcheng Campaign actually begins, these three divisions should also organize a large-scale live-fire exercise."

"Sweating a little more is better than actually fighting the Japanese and shedding blood and tears."

They're currently figuring out the specific time and subjects for the exercise.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a rapid knocking at the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Zhao Yushu walked in, his expression somewhat solemn.

"Cousin, the Japanese have made a move."

Zhao Yushu walked to the table and placed an urgent notice that had just been sent by the theater command on it.

Lin Feng frowned and quickly scanned the telegram.

The telegram contained few words, but every word carried immense weight.

The Japanese troops in Central China have broken through several lines of defense north of the Yangtze River and are rapidly advancing towards the Huai River.

Meanwhile, the Japanese forces in North China were even more aggressive.

They mobilized three divisions and a brigade, splitting into two routes, and were advancing aggressively southward along the Jinpu Railway and highway.

The target was Pengcheng.

"Three divisions and one brigade..."

Lin Feng put down the telegram and walked to the huge battle map on the wall.

To the south, the Huai River serves as the last line of defense for the southern flank of Pengcheng.

Once the Huai River is breached, all that's left is flat plains. Pengcheng is in grave danger. I wonder which troops Commander Li will send to defend it.

Then, he slowly slid his finger northward along the route of the Jinpu Railway on the map.

Just as he had predicted, the Japanese troops in North China indeed split into two groups and marched south.

only……

Compared to the original timeline where only two divisions, the 5th and 10th, were deployed for the Battle of Taierzhuang, this time three divisions and one brigade were deployed in one go.

It seems that even the Japanese soldiers were frightened by his astonishing achievement of annihilating the Kunisaki Detachment in one fell swoop.

Realizing that a single brigade would be easily encircled and annihilated in an attack, did they simply send out a large force this time and advance as a group?

"Has the theater command issued any new orders?"

Lin Feng turned around and looked at Zhao Yushu.

Zhao Yushu shook his head:

"Commander Li only gave instructions to intensify our training and restore our combat effectiveness as soon as possible, without giving us specific instructions on where to deploy our defenses."

After saying that, Zhao Yushu stood still, a hint of hesitation on his face.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow:

"Is there anything else?"

Zhao Yushu scratched his head and lowered his voice, saying:

"Cousin, the special envoy sent by Jiangcheng arrived in Pengcheng yesterday afternoon."

According to our people at the theater command, this guy has ill intentions; he's acting on orders from the Supreme Command to forcibly incorporate our flight squadron into its command.

Lin Feng's eyes turned slightly cold, but his face remained expressionless.

"What did Commander Li say?"

"Commander Li is dragging his feet, saying he wants to arrange a welcoming banquet, and also saying he wants to take a special envoy to inspect the defenses of Pengcheng."

But it's estimated that it won't be long; the special envoy will definitely arrive in Jiawang soon.

Zhao Yushu curled his lip:

"Ostensibly, it was to reward meritorious pilots and to represent Jiangcheng in inspecting the battle results, but in reality..."

"Actually, he just wants to get my plane for free."

Lin Feng sneered, walked to the window, and looked at the soldiers training on the parade ground outside:

"Damn it, what's meant to happen will happen."

They've managed to trick me out of nothing?

"Hmph, dream on."
