Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 66: Forming an Armored Force

The lunch for 6000 people was also very sumptuous. Lu Tianhao not only used up the stored grain and meat.

It was not enough, and I spent a lot of points to redeem it.

With more than 30 points in his hand, Lu Tianhao didn't care about spending a dozen or twenty points.

Lu Tianhao's original crew had become accustomed to the white rice, big white steamed buns and big braised pork. They felt that they tasted very ordinary and ate them very casually.

These newly recruited soldiers ate with eyes shining and mouths drooling, as if they were eating some delicacies from land and sea, and they devoured the food ravenously.

The way they eat makes one's appetite whetted just by looking at it.

Wang Hui only knew that Lu Tianhao was financially strong, could obtain sophisticated weapons and equipment, and was willing to spend money on his soldiers.

He didn't expect that Lu Tianhao would be so generous with food for the soldiers.

Wang Hui secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had followed the right person this time.

This time, time was tight, so Lu Tianhao did not provide resettlement allowances to the newly recruited soldiers.

Lu Tianhao decided that after he found his own base, he would give these soldiers resettlement fees when the salary was paid.

After a big meal, the soldiers were all full and many of them kept burping.

Many soldiers would certainly not be able to bear the hassle of eating and then rushing to march.

After Lu Tianhao let the soldiers rest for an hour, he began to march away from the battlefield.

Just then, several scouts who were sent out came back.

They discovered an astonishing piece of news: the bandits were mobilizing a large number of troops and seemed to be moving in their direction.

When Lu Tianhao got the news, his heart skipped a beat.

This was definitely an action by the bandits targeting their own troops.

The others didn't know that their breakout had killed a large number of the bandits' senior officers.

They are here to seek revenge on me.

One of the scouts sent ahead to explore the way also came back and reported the reconnaissance situation ahead.

The bandits actually sent out troops on the way their troops were advancing, setting up numerous obstacles to block the advance of Lu Tianhao's troops.

The purpose was very clear. The bandits mobilized a large number of troops to hunt down and intercept Lu Tianhao and his men, in an attempt to destroy Lu Tianhao's troops.

After receiving the news, Lu Tianhao did not panic. He now had so many points in his hands, it was time to flex his muscles.

Later, these nearly 2000 soldiers were all trained and became elite soldiers. Only a few of them were trained to become top soldiers and served as officers in the army.

It cost a total of more than 33 points to train these soldiers, and Lu Tianhao had more than points left.

With so many points, it's time to form an armored force.

Lu Tianhao was preparing to form three armored regiments, Zhang Cheng's first regiment, Jiao Yajun's second regiment and Ding Xuguang's third regiment, all of which were converted from infantry regiments into armored regiments.

All the regiments are now understaffed, so the number of tanks they are equipped with has also been reduced.

Lu Tianhao equipped each armored regiment with 50 medium tanks, 50 light tanks, and 50 armored vehicles.

Given the current road conditions in Tianlong Country, heavy tanks cannot be deployed because heavy tanks cannot pass on many roads.

One armored regiment is equipped with 150 tanks and armored vehicles. With three armored regiments, there will be 450 tanks and armored vehicles.

The tanks and armored vehicles produced by the system are not comparable to the thin-skinned tanks and armored vehicles of the bandits.

Lu Tianhao also considered a problem. If the bandits sent planes to bomb, he would become a sitting duck while marching in broad daylight.

Lu Tianhao had no choice but to form his own air defense force.

Jin Zhichao's Fourth Regiment was directly formed into an air defense regiment.

Lu Tianhao directly equipped Jin Zhichao's Fourth Regiment with 50 88mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft guns.

The Fourth Regiment was also equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns.

The other regiments are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, which can also be used as anti-aircraft weapons.

The 1st and 2nd Armored Regiments led the way in the front, while the 3rd Armored Regiment stayed at the back as the rear guard.

The anti-aircraft regiment walked in the middle of the team to prevent the bandits from sending planes to bomb, so that they could carry out air defense in the center.

In order to tow these anti-aircraft guns, each 88mm anti-aircraft gun was equipped with a truck as a towing vehicle.

By the time Lu Tianhao had equipped all the troops, three or four hours had passed unknowingly.

Each light tank requires 300 points, a medium tank requires 400 points, and armored vehicles equipped with medium and heavy armored vehicles also require 400 points.

The 88mm dual-purpose anti-aircraft gun, plus the towing vehicle, requires 200 points.

In addition, there are the ammunition and fuel needed for these weapons and equipment, as well as the exchange of a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns.

This time, 20 points were used up in the big exchange.

Lu Tianhao couldn't help but sigh, the points came and went quickly.

Before I could even warm up to the 30 points, only 13 points were left.

In addition, tanks and armored vehicles are money-eating beasts, and they do not have military factories or oil plants.

The ammunition and fuel used by these weapons and equipment need to be exchanged for points.

The remaining 13 points will not be able to support a few major battles and will probably be used up.

Lu Tianhao was worried about the points, but his soldiers didn't know about it.

All they saw were tanks, armored vehicles and anti-aircraft guns all over the ground, and they were very excited at the moment.

With such powerful weapons and equipment, what would it matter if we chased and intercepted the bandits? We would definitely beat them to a pulp.

The soldiers were full of confidence, and they were hoping that the bandit troops would quickly surround them so that they could see how powerful their weapons and equipment were.

After everything was ready, Lu Tianhao gave an order and the 1st and 2nd Armored Regiments set out first, heading straight forward.

The mission of the 1st and 2nd Armored Regiments is to break through all obstacles of the bandits and open the way for the main force.

The high-profile actions of the 1st and 2nd Armored Regiments had long been detected by the bandit troops ahead.

The brigade dispatched by the bandits was blocking the way in front.

This brigade had six or seven thousand people. They found a relatively narrow section of the road and quickly built fortifications to prevent Lu Tianhao's troops from advancing westward.

The headquarters issued a death order to the brigade, requiring it to delay Lu Tianhao's troops for at least one day.

Buy time for the pursuing troops behind, and then encircle and suppress Lu Tianhao's troops.

When Brigadier General Kurokawa learned that the army he was blocking had an armored unit, his heart sank.

If he were to use his infantry brigade to stop the enemy's armored forces, would it be able to hold out for a whole day?
