Chapter 0166 - Expansion
Small-scale special operations are no match for reinforced pillboxes and armored vehicles on the blockade line, but ......
Liuyun looked up at Liu Xuanli, who was frowning: "If you want to knock on the shell of Wang Ba, you need an iron hammer." ”
"Iron hammer?" Liu Xuanli's eyes lit up, but then it darkened, "Dad, far water can't solve the near fire, the armored brigade that we mixed with the Eighth Route Army and the Jews is still in Hotan!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xuanli noticed the strange look on his old man's face.
Liu Xuanli, who was unwilling, thought about it and immediately had an idea: "Leave the equipment in place, only transport personnel, and then mobilize equipment nearby?" ”
Liuyun nodded and replied with a smile: "It just so happens that the armored division near Liupan Mountain is about to change its outfit. ”
Liu Xuanli looked surprised: "Then you didn't come for the special forces of the Japanese army?" ”
Liuyun smiled: "Compared to the leader of the Eighth Route Army, your reaction is slow enough. As soon as they received the news that I had parachuted in, they guessed my purpose. ”
Although he said so, when he thought that he might witness the demise of the Japanese special forces, Liuyun was still a little happy in his heart.
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, everyone was slandered by a certain "humanoid self-propelled disaster summoner".
"This old Mr. Liu is really good enough to toss."
Zhu Jiande smiled and looked at Liu Mingzhao, who was smiling bitterly: "Comrade Mingzhao, this old gentleman, is now the emperor of the northwest, and we have always been touching the light of others." ”
"Eat other people's mouths short, take other people's soft hands." Liu Mingzhao shook his head with a smile, "However, this old man Liu, who hid deep enough, only spent half a day consuming an elite Japanese squadron of more than 100 people to death." ”
"Tiger fathers have no dogs." Zhu Jiande sighed, "Just this level of cultivating children is worth learning from." ”
"But the old gentleman came at the right time. It's time for the Japanese army to see our armored forces. ”
Seeing Liu Mingzhao's expectant face, Zhu Jiande asked a question that gave him a headache: "Comrade Mingzhao, have you figured out how to distribute this armored force?" ”
As soon as he heard the assignment, Liu Mingzhao's head was big: since the news of the basic formation of the armored forces at the beginning of the year reached the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the division commanders of the three divisions under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army would make an application report every once in a while, requesting that the armored troops be assigned to their own divisions; There are more wolves and less meat, and how to distribute the armored forces with only one regiment has become a big problem.
However, what made Liu Mingzhao even more troublesome was the fuel consumption of the armored forces: according to the information provided by the 80th Group Army, the fuel consumption of the tank codenamed LT-39 produced in Jiuquan was much higher than that of the Jiuquan ten-wheeled truck equipped by the Eighth Route Army......
And when Liu Mingzhao was distressed about his own diesel, the armored regiment that had not yet been formed by the Eighth Route Army had been airlifted to Liupan Mountain.
When he saw the T-39 in the 199th Division's training ground, Xu Dehua, the leader of the Eighth Route Army, felt a chill in his heart: when he was training in Hotan, the high fuel consumption of the LT-39 tank was staggering, and the 600-liter fuel tank could only make the tank travel less than 500 kilometers......
So, Xu Dehua gently patted Ma Chongshan's shoulder: "Boss Ma, why is it still LT-39?" ”
Ma Chongshan laughed: "Dehua, can the export be the same as the one for personal use?" The tanks at the Hotan base used the earliest batch of engines, which were durable and durable, but the fuel consumption was frighteningly high. As for these tanks, the real designation is LT-39A5, which has been overhauled five times. ”
Hearing that it was an improved type, Xu Dehua's eyes lit up, and he walked to the nearest tank and observed: "By the way, Boss Ma, I've been training for so long, and I don't know what LT means in this code name?" ”
"Abbreviation for LightTank light tank." Ma Chongshan sighed, "With the current fuel production and reserves of the Eighteenth Group Army, this type of tank is the most suitable. ”
"Light, that is, there is a heavy one?" Xu Dehua came to the spirit and looked at Ma Chongshan with a gossip on his face.
"It's not heavy, it's called a main battle tank, codenamed MBT." Ma Chongshan smiled proudly, "Now that there are Karamay and Tarim, two large oil fields with huge production capacity, the 199th Division is estimated to be replaced with main battle tanks." ”
While the two were talking, a man came up to them.
Seeing Xu Dehua glaring at him, Ma Chongshan turned his head and saw his old acquaintance: "Huang Sheng!" ”
"Yo Chongshan!" Huang Sheng looked Ma Chongshan up and down carefully, "Are you here to receive equipment?" ”
Ma Chongshan shook his head, and then introduced Xu Dehua to Huang Sheng: "This is the head of Xu who came to receive the equipment, a high-level student of the Chinese Communist Party." ”
After introducing Xu Dehua, Ma Chongshan looked at Huang Sheng with some curiosity: "Brother Huang, aren't you the commander of the armored division?" Right now? ”
Huang Sheng looked at Ma Chongshan with a smile on his face: "If nothing else, we may have to mix together again in the future." ”
Ma Chongshan stared at Huang Sheng with a frightened expression: "Brother, don't be kidding, the armored troops you bring have actual combat experience." ”
"The documents for the transformation of the armored forces division into a brigade haven't gotten to you yet, have they?"
Seeing that Ma Chongshan really didn't know, Huang Sheng had no choice but to explain: "Because of the particularity of the armored forces, and in order to command more experienced, it was decided that the armored forces would no longer adopt the infantry division and regiment company system, but the army brigade and battalion establishment. ”
Ma Chongshan thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Concentrated firepower advantage?" ”
"There is also unified management of logistics baggage to reduce logistics pressure." Huang Sheng sighed, "You know the requirements of the armored forces for logistics. ”
Xu Dehua next to him asked in a low voice: "Then our group?" ”
Huang Sheng smiled: "According to our ideas, it is best to fill it with some logistics and motorized infantry and expand it into a brigade." After all, during training, in addition to the absence of baggage troops and motorized infantry, the armored troops of your regiment are enough to expand two armored battalions. ”
After listening to Huang Sheng's explanation, Xu Dehua remembered: During the training, the armored soldiers in the regiment were indeed a little too manpower.
Looking at Xu Dehua, who was full of expectations, Huang Sheng sighed deeply: the intelligence from Europe showed that Germany's armored divisions were still divisional and regimental companies; On the Huaxia side, against the infantry-based Japanese army, there were not so many tanks at all, so the armored force could only be reduced and the remaining establishment could be used for motorized infantry.
After visiting the huge equipment parking lot, it was already dark, and Xu Dehua called the backbone of the group to a meeting to discuss the expansion problems that might be encountered.
The next day, Xu Dehua received a telegram from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and his superiors asked him to expand the establishment according to the proposal of the Qinghai side, and the insufficient manpower was supplemented by the Qinghai side.
