In 2 hours, the 500,000 troops of the central cluster were defeated, and almost 400,000 were annihilated and captured, and the results were brilliant, but the cost was not small, and the tank division's own losses were also a lot, and when the final statistics were reported to Wu Yunheng, Wu Yunheng's brows couldn't help frowning. The two regiments of heavy tanks lost a total of 79 tanks, about half of which were minor accidents, or there was a problem with the engine, something was stuck, and the track was blown up.

Such a result shows the characteristics of heavy tanks, on the real battlefield, with hundreds of tanks, against 500,000 troops, the design concept of heavy tanks, has withstood the test and played a huge role, but it has also exposed some problems, especially some are irreparable. The heavy tank was already strong enough, the protection was very good, and the lack of chassis and sight distance became the most obvious problem. In the face of a fighting nation like Russia, some people even dare to rush over with explosives bags, the turf and the track, is the weakest place in the tank protection, no matter how much attention, there are twenty or thirty vehicles, destroyed, this is completely destroyed, when in the dense camp of the Russian army, after being broken or lying on the nest, even if there are machine guns and artillery as protection, there are endless Russian troops rushing up, and even helping the explosives to commit suicide.

A tank is just a tank, even if it has a dead weight of 50 tons, excluding tracks, chassis engines, etc., placed on top of the armor, that is, to withstand artillery under 120 mm, when 5 kg, 10 kg, or even larger explosive packs, 10 pcs., or even 20 pcs. 30 grenades bundled together to form a cluster grenade under attack, even once not two or three times. As far as Wu Yunheng can see, one tank has suffered at least 12 attacks. In the end, it was completely blown up and scrapped.

The loss of a large number of tanks, the tank crews with the tanks are also not spared, the first armored division lost more than 300 people today, all of them are the most elite forces, Wu Yunheng is also more or less distressed, carefully selected in the army, after layers of selection and training, each of them is an outstanding talent, to be supplemented. It takes time, and with tanks, it's even slower, especially heavy tanks.

The heavy tanks of the First Armored Division were just finalized in March, and the first batch of armored divisions equipped with them were still experimental products. Many of them are produced with the help of all-in-one machines, and the cost is very high, and the price of one is as high as 400,000 northwest yuan, which is not comparable to the price of one million dollars for an airship. But there are a lot, and today I lost almost 70 vehicles, that is, 28 million. That's a lot of money. The Northwest has money, and the income is not good in all aspects. The loss of 28 million tanks in a battle is still secondary, as long as the strategic intention is achieved. But for Wu Yunheng, the commander in charge of the armored division, there is less loss if there is less loss, and the processing of tanks is difficult, and the speed of production is very slow.

Similar to armored vehicles and light tanks, after the transformation of the production line in the northwest, the speed of production is quite fast, some excellent tank factories, through the division of production, and finally with the help of assembly lines to assemble, automated assembly lines, so that their production speed has reached 250 vehicles per month, in the future, after the further popularization of modular production, the scale of the production line will be expanded, there will be more. This is just a tank factory production in the northwest can be more than one tank factory, the monthly output of more than 1,000 vehicles, the Mongolian Northern Army is the first to equip, the northeast, Xinjiang is also completed before the arrival of the war, other military regions are also in the process of intense implementation, conservative estimates, at the end of 1914, the number of combat vehicles of the Chinese National Defense Forces, will reach an astonishing more than 3,500 units.

Relative to the vigorous growth of the number of light armor, heavy tanks, from March 1914 after the finalization, to almost October, a full 7 months, only 280 units were produced, the current monthly production figure from the beginning of 25, increased to the current 55, the increase is not large, in the northwest, only a very small number of equipped with large mechanical combat vehicle factories, can produce such heavy tanks, and even some parts must be customized, which greatly restricts production.

Except for a small number of 280 vehicles that were placed in military research institutes for research and prototypes, the rest were all allocated to the First Armored Division, which is also the greatest confidence of the armored division. This time, more than 240 vehicles came out, and the rest remained in the 1st Armored Division for the daily training of follow-up soldiers, and the loss of 30 vehicles took almost half a month to be produced, which is still acceptable. If this loss increases, Wu Yunheng fights hard and completely fights the tanks on hand, it may take half a year, or even almost a year to recover, which he can't accept no matter what, which is equivalent to saying that a carefully prepared armored division will be completely scrapped for half a year or a year.

Wu Yunheng made up his mind, in the next time, as little as possible to use heavy tanks, as the finale of the strategic force, compared to heavy tanks, armored vehicles and light tanks lost more, even 50 tons of medium tanks have been killed dozens of units, a larger number of light tanks and armored vehicles are more, and finally with the help of the logistics department, there is no way to repair and return to the factory, there are about more than 150 vehicles, although the number is very large, fortunately, these things are very cheap, and the number is huge, If the entire northwest is mobilized at will, there will be several hundred vehicles, and the losses are still within the acceptable range.

After they arrived at the battlefield, they began to maintain the tanks in batches, some damaged tanks were lifted by cranes, checked for mechanical loss, and through parts replacement and replacement of some components, nearly 30 tanks were successfully repaired, 29 tanks were completely bad, and the rest, almost 20 were seriously damaged and needed to be returned to the factory, and the actual attrition was about 50. As for the remaining tanks, there were some minor problems, so they were repaired casually, and the fuel was already halfway through, and it needed to be refueled urgently.

When the tank was completely overhauled, it was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the tank unit led by Wu Yunheng, after a little rest, with the help of infantry and logistics forces, resumed movement, and the roaring tank once again rushed to the Russian camp, and carried out a feint attack on the main force of the Russian army. The armored corps was launched again, this time, no longer the heavy tank as the leader, Wu Yunheng consciously let the heavy tank retreat slightly, and let the light tank come up, forming a relatively heavy camp.

It's only been a long time, and it hasn't been long since I rested, and I came again, and in the camp of the Russian army, there was a commotion, and the shadow of the famous tree of people, if it was replaced before today, the name of the black devil may have become a memory in the depths of memory, from 1911 to 1914, it has been 3 years, unless it is the person who witnessed it can still remember, others can not remember it clearly.

But the two-hour battle in the morning once again strengthened their memory, the title of devil and butcher, worthy of the big monster, even more powerful than once rumored, you must know that the legend, the black devil is just invulnerable, no artillery, no speed, and even people can easily run past him, like in today's war, the black monster that can't even run fast horses, is really worthy of the word monster.

The Russian army is glad that it finally has a camp, has protection, and no longer has to be ravaged by tanks, Wu Yunheng's side is also very happy, to be honest, when the central cluster is broken today, it is also the time when the tank control is the worst, if the other party does not choose to build a position on the spot, choose to flee directly, within 100 kilometers, the tank can be pursued, 100 kilometers away, or under the premise that the camp is scattered, there are only a few hundred tanks, and it is really not good to contain the Russian army that is scattered and fleeing.

War is the result of a choice that can only be accepted if the Russian army has made a choice. It is estimated that the main forces of the Russian army, that is, those who were routed today, can flee back, and the rest, under the premise that they have formed a camp, will not be able to attack, and the defense will lack supplies, and it may really be dead.

Because the results of this morning's battle were so amazing, once the tank unit was used, it immediately made the entire unit a frightened bird. Brusinov was also informed as soon as possible, he was so frightened by the tank, no matter what else, all the strategic artillery fire, regardless of whether the tank rushed up or not, he even forgot that at the front of the position, he had already dug many huge pits, and the tank could not fly unless it had wings.

One shell after another, fell on the front position of the tank cluster, the nearest tank is more than 3 kilometers away, such a distance, let alone artillery shells, even the dust is difficult to hit, but it has become a frightened bird The Russian army does not care about it at all, a wave of bombardment, as if only such a fierce bombardment can make them feel at ease, the front-line Russian army, not the central cluster, but they have heard the central cluster talk about the war situation, and after being concentrated together, they can see the situation on the battlefield with the help of the naked eye, Where was already a flesh millstone, and in order to avoid the same fate befalling them, they took up weapons, machine guns, artillery, and even explosives packs, some of which had an unforgettable hatred for tanks, and even tied explosives packs and grenades to their bodies.

After a wave of bombardment, when the smoke slowly dispersed, the Russian army at the forefront was surprised to find that the tanks did not rush up, there was no front, could it be that the Chinese would spell, the tanks would not fly, where did they run? (To be continued.) )
