Chapter 1121: Formal Military Parade (3)
Heated discussions were heard among the crowds on both sides of the square.
"Did you see that? Those are the four best divisions!" An old soldier excitedly said to his grandson, "General Ike of the Totenkopf Division became famous in one battle on the Eastern Front!"
"Grandpa, they have so many tanks!" the little boy jumped excitedly.
"Of course. The Totenkopf Division alone has 34 Tiger heavy tanks! The Revitalization Division has even more armored vehicles. I heard there are more than 39!"
The college students next to them were also discussing:
"Have you seen the soldiers of the Northern Division? They are all like iron towers!"
"Yes, I heard that General Otto pays special attention to physical training."
"I heard from my uncle who works in a military factory that the heavy weapons of the Northern Division can operate normally in an environment of minus 34 degrees Celsius!"
A group of veterans gathered together with tears in their eyes:
&34;When we were fighting in the past, we didn't have such good equipment...&34;
"Yes, our army is now world-class!"
"Look at the Imperial Division. The soldiers trained by General Klinghe are so elite!"
The vendors also stopped shouting and watched the parade intently:
"With so many tanks and so many cannons, China is really strong!"
"Who says it's not true? I heard that the value of the equipment of these four divisions alone is equivalent to that of a small country."
"It's worth it! It's really worth it! This is our confidence!"
The audience coming from other places were even more excited:
"I took a three-day train ride from the south to watch the parade. It was worth it!"
&34;Our village pooled money to buy a radio, and everyone in the village is listening to the live broadcast! &34;
&34;When I get back, I will tell them everything I saw today! &34;
Intellectuals were discussing military details:
"Have you noticed? The four masters' communication equipment is the most advanced."
"Yes, and the logistics supply system is perfect, which is the standard of a modern army."
&34;Each division has a complete engineering, medical and maintenance unit, which is incredible.&34;
Young people are curious about weapons and equipment:
"That MG34 machine gun, I heard the firing rate can reach 42 rounds per minute!"
&34;The 150mm heavy howitzer is even more powerful, one shot can flatten a city block! &34;
&34;My favorite are the armored vehicles, they are so cool!&34;
The old people were filled with emotion:
&34;When we were bullied back then, we never imagined we would be in this situation today...&34;
"Yes, who dares to look down on China now?"
"President Su is really great. He has made us stronger!"
The women were worried about the soldiers:
&34;It must be so hard to wear a military uniform in such a cold day...&34;
&34;But look at them, they are all full of energy! &34;
&34;These are our soldiers!&34;
Even the children were imitating the military posture:
&34;When I grow up, I want to be a soldier!&34;
&34;I want to drive a tank!&34;
&34;I want to be a general!&34;
The discussion in the audience stands,
It turned into a sea of joy.
Tears of pride sparkled in everyone's eyes.
Because they know:
China has become really powerful!
Su Zhengyang walked down from the viewing platform and boarded the review car. The military band played a majestic march, and the review car slowly drove past the formation of the four ace divisions.
"Salute!" the four commanders shouted at the same time.
The sound of neat military salutes resounded through the sky, and 100,000 soldiers raised their hands in unison to salute. The crew members of the tanks and armored vehicles stood at attention and saluted, and the soldiers of the artillery formation stood straight. At this moment, the entire square seemed to freeze.
The review car stopped in front of the rostrum. Su Zhengyang walked up to the rostrum, his eyes swept across the formations of the four ace divisions, and his voice was loud and clear:
&34;Soldiers!&34;
"Here!" The neat response was heart-stirring.
"Today is a day worth remembering. The expeditionary force returned victoriously, showing the world the might of China's army!"
"You are the most elite force in China! The Skeleton Division, crush the enemy's defenses with a torrent of steel! The Revitalization Division, break through the enemy's hinterland with a thunderous force! The Northland Division, sweep across the battlefield like a cold wind! The Imperial Division, conquer everything with elite combat skills!"
"You defended China's dignity with your blood and lives! You proved China's strength with steel and gunpowder!"
&34;Now, I order you to swear allegiance to the motherland! &34;
"We swear!" The voices of a hundred thousand soldiers gathered into an earth-shaking roar.
General Ike was the first to raise his saber: "Skull Division, Iron Division! We swear with our lives to be loyal to China forever!"
"Be loyal to China!" the soldiers of the SKULL DIVISION shouted in unison.
General Li Feier followed closely behind: "Revitalizing Division, Thunder Division! We swear with honor to defend China forever!"
"Defend China!" The shouts of the Zhenxing Division were deafening.
General Otto raised his saber high: "Northern Division, a brave division! We swear with our blood to fight to the end!"
"Fight to the end!" The roar of the Northern Division was like the howling of the cold wind.
General Klinghe raised his sword and said: "The Imperial Division, the elite division! We swear by our will that we will always be invincible!"
"Invincible!" The Imperial Division's oath resounded through the sky.
The four commanders shouted at the same time: "We are the ace division of the expeditionary force! We swear to be loyal to China until death!"
&34;Loyalty to China! Loyalty to China! Loyalty to China! &34;
Amid the thunderous oath,
Hundreds of battle flags fluttered.
Hundreds of tanks started at the same time, tracks roaring,
Hundreds of cannons turned their guns in unison.
One hundred thousand soldiers stood in line.
The foreign envoys on the viewing platform looked solemn. At this moment, they finally understood:
China already has a world-class modern army.
Su Zhengyang raised his hand: "Let the world know that China's army is invincible!"
&34;Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!&34;
In the shouting,
The morning light shines on the steel torrent,
The battle flag flutters under the clear sky,
This is the most glorious moment for the Chinese army.
This is a testimony to the rise of a great country!
"Now entering are the elite troops of the Northwest Army!" Liu Xun's voice sounded again.
The earth was shaking and yellow sand was rolling.
A group of battle-hardened troops,
It was driving into the square at the speed of thunder.
"This is the First Armored Division of the Northwest Army! The division commander is General Ma Tiefeng!"
&34;This is the Northwest Army Assault Division! The division commander is General Li Zhan!&34;
"This is the Northwest Army Mechanized Infantry Division! The division commander is General Wang Lie!"
Modified tanks roared past.
The body of the car still bears traces of desert combat.
The dust raised by the armored convoy,
It seems to carry the breath of the desert.
&34;Look, that's General Ma Tiefeng's &39;Desert Wolf&39; troops! &34;
"They chased the enemy in the desert and fought against them, creating a record of one against three!"
&34;I heard their tanks have been specially modified to fight in sandstorms! &34;
Following closely behind were the elite troops of the Central Plains Army:
&34;The First Division of the Central Plains Army! General Zhao Lei, the division commander! &34;
"Zhongyuan Army Armored Division! Division Commander General Qian Tie!"
"Zhongyuan Army Mechanized Division! Division Commander General Sun Hu!"
These elite troops from the heartland of the Central Plains,
It shows characteristics different from the Northwest Army.
Their equipment is more modern.
The tactical coordination is more tacit.
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd:
"Oh my god, our army is so powerful!"
"Not only does the expeditionary army have good equipment, the Northwest Army and the Central Plains Army are also elite!"
&34;Look at those tanks, they are all the latest models!&34;
One veteran excitedly explained:
&34;The Northwest Army fought against the enemy in the desert and acquired great skills! &34;
&34;The Central Plains Army is our base, well-equipped and well-trained! &34;
College students are discussing:
&34;This is the national integrated military system!&34;
&34;Each military region has its own characteristics, but they can work together perfectly! &34;
The merchants were filled with emotion:
&34;How much money would it cost just for these equipments!&34;
&34;It's worth it! This is the confidence of our country! &34;
on the square,
The battlefield powerhouse of the Northwest Army,
The elite division of the Central Plains Army,
Echoing the expeditionary force's ace troops.
