These bulldozers, which belonged to the Army Engineering Department, were newly incorporated equipment and were mainly used to level the terrain and assist in the offensive of the Senate army and the establishment of fortifications. The bulldozer has a steam engine with slightly less power than the steam engine on the small boat, which can continuously power the bulldozer. The bulldozer is track-driven, although some elders think that the screw thruster can be used, but the spiral barrel processing is more complicated, and it can move freely in the beach and mud once it enters the dry mountain plains and other ground conditions to scratch blind, but the vast majority of the battle is to be carried out in such a ground situation, so the bulldozer is changed to a crawler drive.

The cross-country ability of the tracks is obvious to all, and the tank with the tracks installed is like walking on the ground on the muddy and complex battlefield, and the bulldozer is naturally the same. The bulldozer tracks belonging to the Army Engineering Department in front of us are equipped with load-bearing wheels with a diameter of about 30 centimeters, although the load-bearing wheels are small and will cause many obstacles when passing through complex terrain, but such small load-bearing wheels can evenly distribute the heavy body weight to multiple points, so as not to make the tracks easy to sink into the mud. In fact, there is another reason for the use of small load wheels, that is, the problem of steel material, the large load wheel is not that it can not be processed, but because there will always be more or less impurities in it, so there have been several times during the test when the load wheel was hit by heavy objects or crushed stones, although the steel quality of the Oriental Port Iron and Steel Plant has been getting better and better, the quality of these military steel has never met the needs, so now it has to be simple to use small load wheels.

With the improvement of metallurgical product quality, the production of buffer springs has also entered the formalization at this time - which makes the elders of the multi-riveting and steaming school in the Senate lament, and only the multi-riveting and steaming school will be left in the future. But Ma Linming, who claims to be the director of the armored forces of the Senate, is cheering, the word rigid suspension sounds lofty, but it is definitely a devastating enjoyment to stay in a rigid suspension tank, any kind of potholes on the road can make the personnel in the whole tank jump up and down like beans in a hot pot, and the personnel in the tank must wear rattan helmets to ensure that their heads are not broken on the steel plate of the tank. Now, with the buffer springs, the degree of turbulence in the tank is at least three-quarters less than when using rigid suspension, and both the comfort of the tank crew, the ability to sustain combat, the accuracy of the guns on the tank will be greatly improved, and even the tank travel can be greatly improved.

The vast majority of the people driving the bulldozer now are transferred from the armored forces - the armored forces are not really equipped with tanks at this time, and the only tank with an open fighting compartment has been directly hit and lost its combat effectiveness as early as the liberation of Shabak, Ma Linming does not even have the urge to repair the tank, don't look at the big tank, but there are only so many people who can install it, in fact, after the gunners and machine gunners are on the combat platform, There were only two people left in the entire tank, the commander and the driver, and the space inside was basically wasted. So the tank has been abandoned there since it was wounded under the city of Shabak, the engine in the tank has long been removed, the artillery on the combat platform has also been recovered by the artillery in the name of protective equipment, and the machine gun was dismantled by the Shabak defenders during the defense of Shabak, and there is no mention of returning it to this day. At the moment, the only tank in the Senate was left alone in the mud outside Shabak, enjoying the sun and rain every day surrounded by a wooden wall called the "tank fort".

Ma Linming didn't want to equip the armored troops with tanks or armored vehicles, but the quality of the previous steel was not up to par, and the performance of the tanks manufactured was definitely not much better; The heavy industry laboratories were slow to come up with large engines that could be used by tanks, and the use of steam engines would be too dangerous; What makes him feel the most painful is that there is no artillery suitable for use on tanks, not even a gun that can be used in an open fighting compartment like a rhinoceros weasel, and now the entire military system of the Senate only has a breech-loading smoothbore gun, which has to be reloaded from the breech after firing to the fighting compartment, which is too cumbersome. Based on the above reasons, the so-called armored troops are still not equipped with a single tank at the moment, and until now the training still uses soldiers holding cardboard pasted tanks for offensive coordination. The current armored corps is a kind of ridiculed existence in the entire Chinese army, and every time they conduct tank warfare exercises, there will be many soldiers laughing on the sidelines, and the armored corps will hang their heads one by one, until Ma Linming borrowed a few bulldozers from the old world from the engineering department with his previous connections.

In order to allow the soldiers to retain the minimum combat concept of the armored troops and to maintain the proficiency of the soldiers in maneuvering tracked vehicles, at the request of the armored troops, the Army Engineering Department sent a number of tank drivers from the armored troops to the engineering department to drive tracked bulldozers. At the moment, the vast majority of the drivers sitting on these bulldozers are armored soldiers.

As bulldozers descended from the floating trestle to the beach, they immediately began to "deforest" the trees in front of the beach. The new world is different from the old world, the old world due to a large number of felling trees, resulting in a lack of trees, the need to protect the jungle, but even the old world of Annam, is also a place of primeval jungle, where the bald eagle fought with the monkeys for so many years and failed to defeat the monkeys, which can only show that the jungle of Annam is too luxuriant. Today's Annan has largely been untouched by modern industry, and the primeval jungle is far more lush and dense than in the old world. Now, if you want to expand the scale of the urban system of Dongfang Port, it is necessary to ask for land from the surrounding primeval jungle, so in accordance with the requirements of the Executive Committee, all departments of the Senate have begun the work of "indiscriminate logging".

Originally, the Senate brought an automatic lumberjack with it when it crossed over, but with the passage of time, a large amount of use caused most of the equipment on it to fail due to wear and tear, and when the existing industrial system could not manufacture replacement equipment, it could only be mothballed and reversely imitated after the manufacturing level was improved in the future. Without automatic logging machines, the work of deforestation is left to bulldozers. Bulldozers spewed white water vapor and made a screeching noise as they rushed towards the woods on the beach, and soon saw that one by one the trees were cut off at the waist. When the bulldozers pushed the trees aside, militiamen armed with machetes came up to cut off their branches and leaves, then roped them away and transported them directly by sea to the timber processing plant in Port Vostochny.

Today's operation was a maneuver, but in fact it was to build a fort in the area south of the port of Champa to defend against a possible attack by the Medeno, and a road would also be built to connect it with the port of Champa to transport supplies, personnel, and equipment. However, because they were worried that the Meednor people would take advantage of this opportunity to send a fleet or ground troops to interfere with the construction, they simply put up the name of the exercise and directly sent warships and landing troops to a firepower display in front of the enemy, so that the Meedno people would not be able to think about it.
