Zhao Jiayu.

Newly built two-story regimental headquarters.

Outside the house, two soldiers of the guard company were on guard, and inside the house, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, and Sun Desheng sat in a circle around the table, on which were placed a book of spread out materials, and on the cover of each document was a huge tank.

"Lao Li!"

At this time, the door was opened, and Ding Wei walked in.

After knowing that Li Yunlong had decided to exchange for a tank from Boss Chen, Ding Wei immediately rushed over, and the widened road was flat and steady, and he rode three jumpers for an hour to arrive.

"Captain Ding."

"Lao Ding, come and sit."

Zhao Gang and the others greeted each other, and Li Yunlong directly pulled out a stool beside him.

Ding Wei sat next to Li Yunlong and picked up a general list of tanks of various types.

"Sun Desheng, you can introduce the situation first."

Because Ding Wei was also there, Li Yunlong motioned to Sun Desheng to introduce the general situation.

"In the list provided by Boss Chen, there are mainstream tanks in Europe, the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, Italy, France and Britain, including the Tiger tank and Leopard tank that have just been put into service in Germany, the Sherman tank in the United States, and the T34 tank in the north."

"Basically, there are tanks in the world, and they are all on the list."

"And Boss Chen has also made improvements to these tanks, mainly to improve the power system, replace the gasoline engine with a diesel engine, enhance reliability and ease of maintenance·····

Sun Desheng said.

After hearing this, everyone's faces were calm, even Ding Wei, who had just arrived.

Boss Chen has great powers, and he can send tens of thousands of tons of materials to the mountainous areas of northwest Shanxi without knowing it, and he can get all kinds of confidential intelligence materials of devils, and it is normal to produce tanks from all over the world, and it is normal to make improvements.

In the end, Sun Desheng sighed:

"This time, Boss Chen is very generous, and we can choose any tanks in the world, but we were afraid of being poor before, and when there were suddenly more good things, it was a little ·····"

Having received this batch of lists, the regimental headquarters, based on the experience of using large jeeps and ten-wheeled knots, as well as three-bunkers, concluded that the troops could be armed with only one type of tank, taking into account the weak logistical forces.

Even during this period of time, the headquarters has been sending mechanical talents over, even if the master has opened a training course, but the logistics personnel are still seriously insufficient.

Fortunately, the 30 ten-wheeled trucks, 50 large jeeps, and more than 100 three-wheeled jumpers are durable enough, with enough parts, and hard enough quality.

Some people open it, no one maintains it, and no one repairs it.

The newly trained logistics staff are still far from being discharged!

But what kind of tank to equip specifically, a group of people discussed for a long time, but they did not discuss the final result, the political commissar wanted this, Sun Desheng wanted this, and the regiment commander wanted this.

The most outrageous thing is that after a while, everyone read some information, okay, they all changed their minds, and there was no one with a firm position, not even the political commissar, let alone the head of the regiment, and he changed his mind every few minutes.

"Hey, hey, hey·····"

Li Yunlong smiled, sounding helpless, but in fact there was a strong taste of happiness.

Sun Desheng continued:

"Considering that there are only seventeen fighters in the regiment who have driven tanks before, they can barely make up six tank groups, and there are only five people who really have combat experience, so the first batch of tanks is mainly to train armored troops, after all, the current situation is not suitable for combat."

"It is estimated that it will take two and a while for the first batch of tank crews to be trained."

Ding Wei nodded.

The better the equipment, the higher the requirements for the operator, and the tank, a weapon that integrates mobility, protection and firepower, has very high requirements for the armored corps of the operation.

And now the area where the troops and the devils are confronted is all mountainous, and the road out has not been repaired, not to mention the tanks participating in the war, it is difficult to even drive in, and the same is true for light tanks, and the horse road is worse than the road.

"The head of the regiment has already discussed with Boss Chen, the tank will be delivered in three days, and it is estimated that there will be a quota of 500 to 600 tons by then."

"Now we need to decide which tank to use."

After speaking, Sun Desheng looked around and said that it was time for you to discuss it next.

"Actually, hey, hey, I want to have them all, this tank comes with technical information, and there are a lot of good technologies from various countries, but even if Brother Chen gives it, we can't afford it now."

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands at Ding Wei and sighed.

"In terms of logistics, two maintenance workshops have been repaired, including hoisting and other maintenance equipment."

Zhao Gang continued:

"There are two new masters, and the manpower is also abundant, which can ensure that the maintenance workshop is guided by a master at any time, and I have selected a total of 800 soldiers with some cultural knowledge to learn logistics maintenance, and many of them have a little mechanical experience."

"Judging from the experience gained from the ten rounds of kkas, it is estimated that it will take two months for some logistics personnel to barely master a tank, and it will take four months to half a year to master it if it can complete basic repairs and maintenance."

Because Political Commissar Zhao is mainly responsible for communicating with the masters and masters, as well as managing the production and construction of the entire base area, he can now be said to be truly erudite and talented, with a very high breadth and depth of knowledge.

Looking at the eyes of everyone looking at him, Ding Wei understood, this was his own decision, thinking that he was here to give advice, he originally wanted to take a look and remind him.

"Hahaha..."

Ding Wei first laughed, and then said in a solemn tone:

"Weapons are different from ordinary commodities, cannons and machine guns don't matter, they can be from any country."

"But the tank is different from other equipment, it is high-tech, the difficulty of imitation is also high, basically a tank represents the military technology secrets of various countries, before choosing a tank, we first consider not whether it is suitable or not, but whether it can be held."

"Considering our situation, the current international situation, and the future international situation, T34 is completely unsuitable for us, at least not from Boss Chen."

"Yes."

Zhao Gang immediately nodded in agreement.

Li Yunlong, Sun Desheng, and Zhang Dabiao also nodded yes.

"Then, the Americans' tanks are not suitable, at present the Americans are vigorously supporting the national government, and the relationship with us is a little better, I heard that they are planning to send an observation group to our side, if we are equipped with a large number of American tanks, it will be difficult to explain at that time, in the case of choice, we will try not to choose American tanks."

Ding Wei continued.

Everyone still nodded in agreement.

"The rest are British or German, and the rest of the country is somewhat tasty."

Ding Wei took out the German and British tank materials from the table.

The crowd continued to nod slightly.

Weapons and equipment speak with battle records, the little devil's thin-skinned stuffing directly ignores it, and the rest of France, Italy, etc., the performance of these two countries is really uneasy, and everyone skipped it after a few glances.

"A weapon, the most important thing is not advanced, but suitable."

Ding Wei continued:

"Tiger tanks and Leopard tanks, don't think about these two forty or fifty-ton big guys."

"The heavier the tank, the more troublesome it is to maintain, this information also says, Tiger and Leopard staggered load wheels are troublesome to maintain, and such a heavy guy, the general highway bridge can not bear it at all, and the previous ten rounds of big trucks have suffered a big loss in this regard."

"And the British Churchill tank, too, is almost forty tons."

As he spoke, he dropped the information on the Tiger Leopard Churchill tank in his hand.

"Indeed."

Zhao Gang was touched.

This is Shanxi, the northwest mountainous area of Shanxi, the roads are generally very poor, not to mention the bridges.

When the troops just got ten rounds of big trucks, the jaws of the people who were shocked by the ten tons of load fell off, and the speed of the full load was not bad, so they immediately used it to work, but what they didn't expect was that the bridge built in the base area could not bear it, and the bridge collapsed directly as soon as the car drove up, or the bridge was not high, and there were enough parts, I am afraid that it would have to be scrapped.

Afterwards, he hurriedly organized people to reinforce all the bridges, and they could only accommodate a ten-wheeled truck with a full load.

A fully loaded ten-wheeled knack is only fifteen or sixteen tons, and if it is a tank of forty or fifty tons, then don't think about crossing the bridge.

Ding Wei continued:

"After taking Ping'an County, we will go out to the plains, and then we will need the firepower of tanks to support the infantry, armor to resist the artillery fire of the devils, and tanks to deal with the devils."

"So the tank we choose, as long as the armor can resist the devil's anti-aircraft artillery, and the artillery can deal with the bunker and the devil's tank."

"The devils who fight with us are all second-line devils, and the anti-tank weapons are rarely equipped, and the most are equipped with 37 anti-aircraft guns, and you have also seen the weapon data given by Boss Chen, this anti-aircraft gun is waste, and even if the first-line division of the devil is equipped with a 47-mm anti-aircraft gun, the armor-piercing ability is not strong."

"As for the devil's little bean tank, heavy machine guns and armor-piercing bullets can penetrate ······"

"It does ······"

Everyone nodded.

The devil's weapon, now it seems, is true... In Boss Chen's words, pull the crotch.

"Considering the versatility of ammunition, I recommend the German tank No. 4."

Ding Wei only had one piece of information left in his hand at this time, and he opened the information and revealed the data description on the first page:

"In terms of weight, the No. 4 tank is only twenty-four tons, and it is very passable, and most bridges can run."

"The original was a 300-horsepower gasoline engine, and Boss Chen changed it to a 330-horsepower supercharged diesel engine, with greater horsepower, fast off-road speed, and the same diesel engine technology as the ten-wheel truck.

"The frontal eighty mm armor plate can ignore all the devil's defense guns, and there are also thirty mm on the side, and the devil's 37 guns can't penetrate it, and the 48 times the diameter of the 75 guns is very good, whether it is to hit the gun tower, pillbox, or to deal with the devil's tank, it is enough."

"Anyway, the information given by Boss Chen also said that other tanks can be exchanged at any time, and more advanced tanks will be added in the future."

"When there are more people in the future and there are better tanks, it's not too late to think about the next one."

"Then, the Germans' No. 4 tank?"

Li Yunlong looked around.

Zhao Gang, Sun Desheng, and Zhang Dabiao hesitated for a while, and their colleagues nodded.

"Then it's settled."

"A No. 4 tank with spare parts weighs seventy-five tons, and it is estimated that it will be able to change eight or nine tanks by then."

Li Yunlong made a final decision, and then he looked at Sun Desheng:

"Sun Desheng, you can organize people to start training, train more, and train the tank crews as soon as possible."

"Don't worry about fuel, a tank comes with 35 tons of fuel, which is not included in the quota, enough for more than a month of training."

"Yes."

Sun Desheng stood up and saluted.

He is now the deputy commander of the cavalry battalion and the director of the mechanical factory, and when he was the director of the factory, the regiment commander promised him that when he had a tank, he would drive the tank back to the battlefield.

"I'll come over then, too."

Li Yunlong added.

He heard a lot of attention points about tank combat from Brother Chen, and he also studied it quite a bit, and he wanted to use the tank well, and wanted to play its real role on the battlefield, and there was a lot of knowledge in it.

Three days later, under the darkness of night, a total of nine tanks were secretly transported to a specially built tank training ground in the base area, and Li Yunlong and Sun Desheng began training with more than 200 selected tank soldiers.

····

At the same time.

The 772nd regiment was stationed.

"Regiment commander, the transport team from the logistics department is here, let you go and receive it."

The personnel of the regiment headquarters reported to Cheng Shifa again.

"Oh?"

Cheng Shifa hurriedly put down his work and walked to the transport team parked outside the regiment headquarters.

The little devil is not dead, after being beaten back by him last time, this time he made a comeback, and even increased his troops, and brought a large number of second devils, he wants to support again.

"Three generations of border areas made 5,000 grenades, 500 grenades, bullets····· There are also sixty Czech modified machine guns. ”

The commander of the transport company responsible for the transportation reported to Cheng Shifa.

"Three generations of border area manufacturing?"

Cheng Shifa opened the box and looked at the three generations of border districts.

Compared with the second generation, the third generation of the bomb has a striped road on the outside, the wooden handle and the body of the bullet feel like waterproof paint, and the back cover has also become larger and stronger.

"Is this an improvement in water and moisture resistance?"

Cheng Shifa guessed at a glance why it was called three generations.

The biggest problem of the second-generation border area is that it is easy to get wet, and it is easy to have problems after a long time, and the back cover is easy to fall off.

"Yes."

Lien Zhan, who was in charge of transportation, said:

"The waterproofness was enhanced, the back cover was reinforced, and then the projectile body was pre-engraved with a fragment concave."

"Haha, yes, yes."

Cheng Shifa was very satisfied.

Recently, the headquarters arsenal has been like eating gunpowder, and the speed of development has been slow, and the guys in their hands have become more and more handy, and the battle has naturally become bigger and more energetic.

"These sixty Czech-style modifications, we made them ourselves?"

In the end, Cheng Shifa set his sights on the last weapons and equipment, which was a little incredulous.

Can the Eighth Route Army itself make machine guns on a large scale?

'Yes. ’

"We make all the parts ourselves."

The company commander of the transport team spoke in a proud tone:

"Minister Zhang said, these machine guns are the first batch, they have been tested, and the quality is fine, but some improvements have been made inside, and the heat dissipation ring that is troublesome in processing has been canceled.

"Okay."

Cheng Shifa nodded in agreement.
