At the front, Liu Zunshan didn't stay with Ding Zhennan any longer, but went to his own battalion commander's vehicle, a command-type tank with several additional radios.
Speaking of which, the Marine Corps really went all out this time.
Until now, only two armored battalions in the Marine Corps completed equipment upgrades, replacing the "ZTT-69BL" medium tanks that had been in service for over 30 years with "ZT-99AL" Main Battle Tanks. Thus, the Marine Corps had for the first time the same level of technical equipment as the main army units.
For the past several decades, the Marine Corps had always been treated as a "stepchild", with their main technical equipment being a generation behind that of the Army.
In fact, before becoming an independent branch of the military, apart from specialized equipment such as amphibious assault vehicles and amphibious tanks, the main equipment of the Marine Corps was almost entirely hand-me-downs from the Army.
Even now, not much had changed.
