In North China in December, the weather was very cold after nightfall, and among the several people in the same car, Hu Hanmin, Xiang Hanping, and Zhang Zizhong wore a new-style military coat for the military division, while Ouyang Yun was still single.

The military coat is a new product of the garment factory directly under the military division, because of Ouyang Yun's plagiarism, the system is naturally advanced in this era. The length of the coat is just above the knee, and there is a knee pad sewn into the knee-length of the placket, which can be easily tied to the knee for warmth.

As soon as he put on this coat, Xiang Hanping, who knew the goods, shouted: "Good thing! ”

Zhang Zizhong said: "Ouyang, when I saw this military coat, I remembered it, when will you give me the batch of military uniforms ordered by my division?" ”

When Ouyang Yun established the garment factory, it was originally just to meet his own needs, but as those new military uniforms, especially camouflage uniforms, entered the world's sight, Han Fuqu, Yan Xishan, Fu Zuoyi and others around him came to place orders. Therefore, the 29th Army still has orders from "old friends" such as the 38th Division and the 143rd Division, and Ouyang Yun can only be cheeky and press back. "Didn't you come to see the tank today? What's the point of talking about this? Boss Zhang, if you like this coat, take it back directly, do you need to say so much? ”

After some small talk, the territory of the Cadet R&D Institute has arrived. After the incident that night, the defense of the R&D Institute and the power plant is now more cautious, especially the R&D Institute. Not counting the addition of two more checkpoints, in the shade of the trees, in the corners of the walls, or on the roofs of a certain building, there were sharp soldiers from wolf fangs and broadswords hidden everywhere.

After a bit of cumbersome inspection procedures, Ouyang Yun and his entourage came to the outside of a brightly lit courtyard. Inside the courtyard, the roar of the engine was deafening, mixed with the screams of several people.

The procedures for entering the courtyard are even stricter, even Ouyang Yun, the commander of the cadet division, obediently signed and registered in front of the guards with loaded guns, and then handed over the guns, and stretched out his hands for the guards to check, so as not to bring in dangerous items.

When I finally entered the courtyard, I saw the roaring "Jiguang-type" dual-purpose tank, and Hou Debang was busy around it with five or six trainees holding various instruments.

Compared to other tanks, the Jiguang has an exceptionally long body, and its rotating turret has three seats, with two turrets for anti-aircraft guns staggered in the second half except for the forward-moving main gun turret.

When Ouyang Yun and Hou Debang first designed this tank, because the anti-aircraft weapon they considered was a small anti-aircraft machine gun, the body was smaller than it is now, both in width and length. And Hou Debang is now making this Dongdong, regardless of its performance, it is relatively ugly in terms of appearance alone.

The length reached 7.25 meters, the width was 4.03 meters, the height was 3.13 meters (to the main gun turret), and the weight reached an exaggerated 46.08 tons. The power is two diesel engines, the main power diesel is placed in the middle of the body, between the main turret and the first anti-aircraft turret, 12-cylinder V-shaped, bore 150 mm, rated 513 kilowatts; The auxiliary-powered diesel engine (whose main function is to drive a generator to power the motors that drive the three turrets) is placed at the rear of the car, with 6 cylinders in line and a bore of 115 mm and a rated power of 135 kW......

Hou Debang is worthy of being a technology maniac, Ouyang Yun and the others appeared for about a quarter of an hour before he noticed it. This is the most confidential place of the cadet division, and no one is allowed to enter, he suddenly found that there were a few more figures around him, and when he raised his head, he wanted to scold: Who are you? Who let you in? Only then did he say the word "you", and when he saw a somewhat familiar face, he was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized that the other party was Ouyang Yun, and his eyebrows and eyes expanded, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Yo, it's Ouyang!" Coming back from Nanjing? He put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his hands and asked, "What do you think?" Then, looking at him expectantly.

Ouyang Yun introduced Hu, Xiang, and Zhang to him first, and did not rush to comment, and began to ask questions about what he was puzzled about.

Knowing that the top speed of this tank had reached 54 kilometers per hour, Ouyang Yun remembered that Quirrell, who would soon become the main force of the Japanese tank, had a speed of only 38 kilometers per hour, and his face couldn't help but smile. "The speed is not bad, but the caliber of the main gun is too small, 37 mm is only equivalent to the firepower of a light tank, which is too inferior to the 57 mm caliber of our main opponent 'Quirrell'."

Hou Debang nodded: "That's right, but it's not a problem." The main function of this type of tank is anti-air, if it is to the ground, you can replace the anti-aircraft gun with an anti-aircraft machine gun, so that the two anti-aircraft turrets can be removed, and the extra weight is not a problem to replace it with a large-caliber tank gun. Ouyang, it's great that you're back, there are a few important things that are about to be discussed with you......" This tank is by far one of Hou Debang's most satisfying works, so once this topic is discussed, there is a lot of talk.

As he said, this tank was actually just a sample, and according to him, the reason why he changed from an anti-aircraft machine gun to an anti-aircraft gun from the beginning was to take the path from difficult to easy. After the basic model of the "Jiguang-type" dual-purpose tank for land and air purposes is determined, on this basis, it will be relatively easier to introduce the "Jiguang-type land reform" that focuses on land offensive. On this basis, it is even possible to derive a "relay-light air reform" that specializes in air control and cancels the main gun, as well as amphibious tanks.

Once Hou Debang and Ouyang Yun discussed the issue of technology, Hu, Xiang, and Zhang could only act as listeners, among them, Xiang Hanping and Zhang Zizhong, two old soldiers, actually knew a little about tanks, but their understanding of tanks was quite one-sided. It's no wonder that most of their commanders, the Japanese Army, the second most powerful army in the world, did not really understand the role of tanks. In their minds, tanks are nothing more than vassals of the infantry, and although they can give great help to their own side, they are not enough to change the tide of battle on their own.

As a later generation, Ouyang Yun's vision is naturally higher than that of these little devils. His original intention to build a tank was because of his fear of the Japanese Air Force, but now after listening to Hou Debang's introduction, he has a completely new idea.

It is well known that when the tank becomes a specialized anti-aircraft weapon, it is similar to the current anti-aircraft armored vehicle. Ouyang Yun is now thinking that the sample size of this "Jiguang type" is so large, and it is really put on the main battlefield of the land and air façade, and in terms of the ferocity of the little devil, its survivability is worrying. The cost of it is so expensive, and it is not something that a small unit like a cadet can afford. Perhaps, it would be a good choice to completely separate the land and air, but of course, this will have to be tested on the battlefield.

Ouyang Yun and Hou Debang muttered a lot, and finally the two decided to build five vehicles according to the current version, and then build five "land reform" and "air reform" respectively, and then pull them to the exercise ground for some actual exercises, and then determine the future development direction.

"Ouyang, isn't there too little two, there are too many little devil tanks, how can we fight with them if there are only two of them?" On the way back from leaving the R&D Institute, Zhang Zizhong said to Ouyang Yun.

Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "Boss, don't be so anxious, this is a sample, many techniques are immature, and they still need to be improved." I promise you, when the mature product comes out, in addition to compensating you for the two, I will provide you with twenty more at the cost price, how about it? ”

"Cost price, what if I can't afford it? Do you want to send another eight, let me make up a whole number? Zhang Zizhong asked tentatively, his face showing a rare shrewdness of a businessman.

It's ridiculous to say, I don't know if Lu Dao has dealt with Ouyang Yun too much, anyway, Zhang Zizhong's impression of Ouyang Yun now is completely out of the way from the description in the history books. It is recorded in the history books that Zhang is a rigid person, so when the two first started to deal with each other, Ouyang Yun was always serious and well-behaved in front of him, but as the contact deepened, he found out that Zhang turned out to be a rather easy-going person, not only easy-going, but also full of peasant cunning.

Carefully calculated, the 38th Division has gained a lot of benefits from the cadet division. When the "Wei Qing Style" and "Sick Style" first came out, the cadet division itself was not yet equipped, and the rabbit cubs of the 38th Division had already begun to smile at the shooting range. Regarding Ouyang Yun's approach, even Li Tieshu and Jiang Shuren, who had a good relationship with him, had opinions. Li Tieshu was angry that he wanted to save face and suffer (in his opinion, Ouyang Yun was doing this because of vanity), while Jiang Shuren was more worried, thinking that it was not a good thing to expose his strength too much, and if the gold and silver were exposed, who knew if Lu Dao would lead thieves to the door. And the last incident in the R&D institute and the power plant more or less proved his point of view. However, Ouyang Yun never took it to heart. It's not that he has any far-sighted vision and deeper plans, but that he is sure that the records about Zhang Zizhong's character in the history books are completely true. If such a small amount of firearms can be exchanged for Zhang's trust and the ally of the 38th Division, it is very cost-effective in Ouyang Yun's mind.

"Boss, this tank is not a rifle or anything, I really can't be the master. Besides, your 38th Division has been running Tianjin for half a year, and it stands to reason that there is no shortage of money in your hands. ”

"Hey, Brother Ouyang, I didn't expect you to become so stingy after going to Nanjing, what's the matter? Beginning to cherish its feathers? ”

"What, I'm intimidated by the prosperity of Guangzhou and Nanjing, compared with these two big cities, we still have a long way to go. Therefore, I decided to accept Mr. Jiang's suggestion to go a long time. ”
