Chapter 373: Westward Expansion Episode 2
Mobile reading
Compared with the Rhino transport convoy, the special reconnaissance team's leading reconnaissance vehicles are in much better condition, and they are very light and use small reconnaissance vehicles with Stirling engines. Since this time it was a winter operation in the north, considerable changes were also made to these small reconnaissance vehicles.
The two front wheels of these reconnaissance vehicles, which were very similar in appearance to the Rolls-Royce vehicles of the Oriental Port, were replaced with metal sleds, and their orientation could be changed through the steering wheel to keep the body steering and stable, while the rear wheels were directly removed, and the original position was modified into a set of driving wheels, and three sets of small load wheels were added on each side below, and a track about 30 centimeters wide was wrapped around the outside of these load wheels and driving wheels. Under the existing conditions, it is more difficult for Dongfang Port to produce rubber tracks than to ascend to the sky, so these tracks are directly cast by Dongfang Iron and Steel Plant. Under the guidance of the continuous production of the products of the Oriental Iron and Steel Plant in the past few years and the actual operation of Li Jin's reading, the quality has been gradually improved, and the pace is still very big and stable, and the quality of the steel products produced is just, and this kind of track can reach thousands of hours of continuous operation without damage in the test.
The tracks that are now mounted on these small reconnaissance vehicles are running rapidly, and the snow and dust are flying all over the sky, and several members of the special reconnaissance team on the vehicles are still looking out the window vigilantly. Due to this winter operation, the body of the reconnaissance vehicle has been fully enclosed and covered, from the front hood to the window door, and the door gap is also covered with a waterproof canvas to prevent cold wind, rain and snow from pouring in from the cracks in the door. However, such a transformation must not be compared with the fully enclosed body of those cars in later generations, so the only way to solve the impact of leaking wind on the human body is to wear a few more clothes. Now sitting in the car several members of the special investigation team are wearing thick cotton clothes, they are not wearing the same as the soldiers of the Foreign Legion, although the woolen coat is good-looking, but in terms of warmth is still not comparable with the special reconnaissance team's warm three-piece suit, their field combat windbreaker is smeared with waterproof paint processing, impermeable to wind and water, inside is a three-layer cotton fabric, filled with down in the middle, and then a layer of cotton fabric to keep warm, and finally the inner fabric, wearing on the body looks bloated, but in fact it is very light, which does not affect tactical actions at all. Their trousers were military leather trousers, and before the armed intervention in the civil war in Annam, the Meideno people had sent a whole shipload of deerskin and other leathers to the Oriental Port, and at that time, the Eastern Port accepted it in line with the concept that the goods that had been shipped must be accepted, but because the number was too large, it could not be consumed for a while, and it was only now remembered when they began to prepare for combat missions in the northern winter. The manufacture of leather pants was more cumbersome than ordinary cloth pants, so the garment factory had to open a new line to produce the leather pants needed for the operation.
In addition to winter clothing and leather pants, the last and most important set of the three-piece warm set is the leather boots worn on the feet. Unlike the canvas waisted wooden boots used before, this time the boots are genuine leather boots, using the same batch of leather, and there is still fluff in it for warmth. Now the special investigators are sitting in the car, and the cuffs and trouser legs are tied tightly with straps to ensure that no cold wind blows into the clothes. From time to time, the windows are obscured by the snow dust raised by the tracks in front of the car or the snowflakes falling from the sky, which then melts when it encounters warmer interior temperatures, and then freezes into a thin layer of ice in the cold wind. There are no wipers on these windows - it is not very difficult to produce, the only difficulty is that there is no rubber to make rubber, so it is easy to wear out the glass if you scrape directly on the windows with the wiper skeleton, and the only option now is to stop at the side of the road from time to time to remove the thin ice from the glass with hot water and dry it quickly, then wring out the wet towel and put it in the engine compartment to dry.
"Chief!" Someone next to Yang Muqin shouted, he was sitting in the back seat holding his submachine gun drowsy at the moment, and when he heard the shouting, he stretched lazily a little, causing everyone in the car to yawn involuntarily. "What's the matter?"
"The team behind sent a message," the passenger seat member handed him the walkie-talkie, which had been "modernized." Since this reconnaissance vehicle is the command vehicle of the special investigation team, it must be equipped with radio communication equipment. If you want to use communication, you can't do without electricity, and the power of the Stirling engine is not particularly abundant, if you install a special generator, it is likely to cause a lack of power, so a small wind turbine developed and produced by the heavy industry laboratory is specially installed behind the car body, and the vehicle relies on wind power when driving, and the vehicle can still generate electricity as long as there is wind when it is not driving, although it can not send out electricity that can light up a city, but there is no problem with lighting up the lights and communication.
Yang Muqin took the walkie-talkie, and with some impatience figured out the line connected to the side of the dashboard of the car body under the walkie-talkie, and then pressed and held the message and asked, "I'm Yang Muqin, what's the matter?" ”
The enemy does not enmity the single ball to fight the Yang Earth Yang Lord
"Chief! I'm Niu Da Zhuang! A rough voice came over the walkie-talkie, "Which cow is strong?" Yang Muqin looked confused, he was still in a state of not waking up, and he probably couldn't even remember his wife's name.
"Transport detachment! Captain of a detachment. The co-pilot's team member hurriedly reminded, Yang Muqin remembered this person, and quickly nodded and continued into the walkie-talkie, "Oh! Got it, what's the matter? ”
After Qiu Yuanke, the enemy of the ball Yang Qiu Yumo
"Chief! That is true! Niu Dazhuang held a huge microphone in his left hand, and put the horn into his ear with his right hand and said loudly what happened on the steep slope just now, "Now our convoy has been cut off by this steep slope, only six cars have passed, and there are more than ten cars that will not be able to pass for a while and a half." ”
The team behind Qiu Yuanke sent a message, "The team member in the co-pilot seat handed him the walkie-talkie, which was a product that had been "modernized". Since this reconnaissance vehicle is the command vehicle of the special investigation team, it must be equipped with radio communication equipment. If you want to use communication, you can't do without electricity, and the power of the Stirling engine is not particularly abundant, if you install a special generator, it is likely to cause a lack of power, so a small wind turbine developed and produced by the heavy industry laboratory is specially installed behind the car body, and the vehicle relies on wind power when driving, and the vehicle can still generate electricity as long as there is wind when it is not driving, although it can not send out electricity that can light up a city, but there is no problem with lighting up the lights and communication.
"Well, I know," Yang Muqin said and motioned to the soldiers beside him, "Map." ”
The soldiers hurriedly took out the map, and their map was stored in a transparent plastic bag, and the commonly used side was directly on the other side of the bag, so that they could see the contents directly without opening the map bag. Yang Muqin looked at the route marked with blue pencil on the road map, and then compared the current position, "In this way, we are waiting for you at the turn of the mountain road three kilometers ahead, you guys hurry over, if anything happens along the way, contact us in time." ”
Niu Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said into the microphone, "Yes! Heads! He handed the radio back to the communicator, then turned and ran to the soldiers who were fighting in four columns on the gentle slope and shouted, "Brothers! Come! Come on! We're going to get the car up quickly! As he spoke, he pushed away a soldier who looked a little thin, "You go to the side to see the situation, I'll do the work!" Then he looked around to make sure everyone was ready, and then was about to shout, "One, two, pull!" ”
The rhinoceros cart under the slope suddenly roared, black smoke and water vapor sprayed out into the air, the cable connecting the top of the slope to the car body was stretched straight, and there was a squeaky sound from time to time. Don't let go! One, two, forward! ”
Under the traction of manpower, the propeller of the rhinoceros car rotated, throwing the muddy water that had begun to melt to both sides, quickly splashing the road side more than a meter into yellow, and the body of the car was also moving forward slowly but steadily, and it was pulled to the top of the slope in a short time.
On the side of the ramp, another group of soldiers were carrying crates to the top of the slope on their shoulders, and at the bottom of the slope, there were also soldiers carrying the goods from the rhinoceros carts that were waiting to go uphill to the clearing. Now they are really executing the person trailer, the weight of the goods loaded on the car is not much, now this steep slope is only more than 100 meters long, if you really use the vehicle to drive up on your own, it is not necessarily not possible, but Niu Dazhuang has experienced, this way of driving is not safe, it is likely to cause overturning or crashing, so the best way is to unload the goods first, and then drag them uphill, and then use personnel to transport the goods uphill and then load them on the car, so that although it is more cumbersome, but it is much safer. What's more, Yang Muqin already knew that the convoy needed a certain amount of time to pass through that steep slope, so the special investigation team would check the safety situation along the way to determine the route, and even find a suitable place to camp first, so he didn't have to worry about this aspect at all. As for the safety of the convoy itself, not to mention that there are so many soldiers on the road who are carrying supplies, but at least three or four soldiers are in charge of lookout at the commanding heights, and they are carrying "ultra-modern" weapons that even the current Marine Corps is not equipped with, and they will never fall behind in the case of encountering an enemy less than ten times, not to mention that the enemies that may be encountered on the road are just some unpopular bandits or bandits. They generally still have to weigh the "martial arts" flag.
"Pull two more cars, and we'll rest for ten minutes!" Seeing the soldiers panting and resting in place, Niu Dazhuang hurriedly shouted loudly, in fact, he himself was quite tired. You must know that he used to be a laborer, and he did some hard work, and under normal circumstances, he would not feel too tired at all, but now his palms are numb, panting, and his eyes are even a little black, which is obviously not easy.
"Stop! All stop! Come and drink water! Standard Mandarin came from not far away, and everyone was stunned, and turned their heads to look at the location of the dining car not far away, where several soldiers were surrounding a person, and they felt very warm at a glance. Niu Dazhuang nodded and waved his hand at everyone, "Go drink water!" ”
Before getting closer, it turned out that Zhan Jie was standing by the pot, which was heated by a steam oven, and inside was the floating snow shoveled from afar, and after boiling, it was filtered and collected to make a soup, and there were a lot of red things floating on the soup. The soldiers knew at a glance that this was the Chaotian pepper known as the "spicy dead", and there were also peppers cultivated and eaten in the Wu Dynasty, but because the peppers in the Wu Dynasty were mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Fujian and other places, the fertility in the soil was different, and the cultivated peppers did not taste particularly spicy, and the climate in Guangdong and other places was not suitable for eating spicy peppers often, so the peppers were not popular. The Chaotian pepper provided by the Committee of Agriculture is completely different, this kind of pepper is very small, but it is full of spiciness, and the yield is high, and the survival rate is very high, so it has become one of the important output cans of the Committee of Agriculture - canned chopped pepper. But now it's not canned chopped chili peppers floating in the soup, but fresh chili peppers one by one. The weather is too cold, and the soldiers have been working hard from being in the car to warm up now, and they can't slow down one by one, and drinking a spicy soup can effectively stimulate the body to react, and the body can quickly warm up.
In addition to the chili peppers, there are also a lot of seasonings in the soup, what pepper and cinnamon are thrown into it, and the popular "Baiwei Xian" in the Dongfang Port products is also put, at this moment the soldiers lined up with water cups to make soup, and then stood next to them and drank it, the fragrance was elegant, so that the soldiers at the bottom of the slope also smelled the fragrance, and they all dropped the things in their hands and ran up to make soup.
Suddenly, with a "bang" sound, under the stunned expressions of everyone, the door of the communication vehicle parked not far away was suddenly pushed open, and the communication soldier jumped down from the car and ran towards them, shouting as he ran, "Attention! There is a case! ”
The soldiers who heard the shouts were stunned one by one, what is the situation? Ruan Wenyu hurriedly drank the soup in the water cup in his hand, and it was so spicy that he jumped several times before he could ease up, and his whole body was full of heat, and he quickly took two breaths to ease his strength, and shouted to the communication soldier, "What's the situation?" ”
"Report! The observation post found that there seemed to be a lot of people behind the convoy! The signal soldier hurriedly shouted, "It should be around three hundred!" ”
"The first company continues to tow, and the second company carries supplies!" Ruan Wenyu shouted loudly, and then shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers of the Third Company who were holding water cups in their hands and looking at them, "Third Company! Armed at all points! Get ready to take on the enemy! ”
The soldiers drank all the water cups in their hands, then ran back to their cars, took out their weapons and equipment inside, put them on, and stood in front of the car waiting for orders. Ruan Wenyu ran all the way down the slope with a submachine gun, slipped several times on the road and almost fell, rushed to the front and stopped, looked at the soldiers, and then nodded and shouted loudly, "Three companies, all of them, follow me!" With that, he ran in the direction of the back of the convoy.
