Chapter 17: New Tanks for Each.

"Can they deliver to the west of Huo County?"

In Ping'an County, in the reception hostel, the general received a message from his subordinates.

"Yes."

The visitor nodded:

"The nearest railway station to the Central Asian Railway is only fifty kilometers."

"Great."

The general clenched his fists and waved them fiercely.

Although we know that there is no friendship between countries, and there are only naked interests at the negotiating table, the other side definitely has other plans, and it is estimated that it is to urge ourselves and the Germans to work hard and consume national strength.

But he was still uncontrollably happy in his heart.

During the period of several five-year plans, the Central Asian Railway was completed according to the scheduled plan, and the Central Asian region could reach Mosco directly, but it was always a one-way road with limited transportation.

In 41, in order to avoid German bombing, more than 120 factories were transferred to Aramtu, during which time, in order to meet the transportation needs, the Central Asian Railway was also connected to Mosco, and the technology was upgraded, changed to a two-way track, and the speed of the train was increased.

Transportation has improved dramatically.

During the war, the railways were regulated, and the latest super-powered steam freight trains from Aramtu took only seventy to eighty hours to reach Mosco.

YY

The terrain west of Huo County is flat, 50 kilometers away from the railway, it only takes half a day to connect with a car, the station facilities are perfect, the loading and unloading capacity is strong, it is really not possible to find them to purchase some cranes and forklifts.

That is, in about a week, the weapons purchased from here will be able to reach the front line.

Whether it's anti-tank artillery, or tanks, it can be reached.

Although only 25 to 30 trains can be transported per day due to distance, lack of feeder track buffer, and limitations such as station loading and unloading capacity and rail carrying capacity, it is sufficient.

Even the most difficult tanks to transport, a high-powered train can transport twenty, or at least five hundred per day.

That's more than 5,000 in 10 days.

Enough is enough.

"Are there any other conditions?"

The general asked suddenly after calming down.

There is a lack of roads and railways in the northwest of the Republic of China, but the general is not worried about whether the other side can do this.

The top leaders of the world's major countries know about it.

This group of people has a mysterious technology that can perfectly solve the problem of logistics and transportation, and in his identity, he even knows that according to the investigation of the intelligence department, Germany, Britain, and the United States have also set up laboratories to overcome similar technology.

But with a direct reduction of more than 2,000 kilometers of the most troublesome transport routes, it is hard to imagine that this help is free of charge and without other costs.

If it were him, some restrictions would inevitably be proposed.

For example, tanks cannot be deployed in the Far East, and the purchased weapons cannot appear in the Far East, so that the little devils can occupy more territory and bite more of their own flesh.

At present, the devils in the Far East lack heavy weapons and are less powerful.

After receiving tanks and artillery replenishment, it will not be difficult to gather a part of the forces to defeat the Japanese, and with the existence of the Trans-Siberian Railway, these weapons will soon reach the Far East.

"Nope."

The debriefing liaison officer shook his head.

"Huh?"

The general frowned.

He didn't understand, and he couldn't understand that in the international arms trade, it is the norm to put forward various restrictions and demands, and the other party actually didn't grasp such a good opportunity?

"Forget it."

The general shook his head and shifted his mind to something more important:

"Ready, let's pick out the weapon."

With the funds, it's time to pick up the goods, there are a lot of weapons and equipment here, and he needs to choose a few that are suitable for the front line.

······

At the same time.

Ping'an County, regimental headquarters.

"What tanks should we sell them?"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong.

Boss Chen's side has all tanks, those in service in various countries, and even the old antiques from the First World War are in stock, and they can even be customized personally, as well as some tanks that are more advanced than the world today.

For example, the new tanks that are now being reequipped by the troops.

Torsion bar suspension, cast spherical turret, five pairs of load-bearing wheels, and a new 580-horsepower diesel engine make this tank with fuel and ammunition, and although the crew weighs nearly forty tons in full standing, it is still more maneuverable than the four.

Equipped with 105 mm rifled guns, sub-caliber high-bore pressure tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, new fire control, power and accuracy to a higher level?

You can wear through Tank 4 at any angle.

"It's a pity that there is no way to give them the fourth tank."

Grand Master Li sighed, a little regretful.

He still wants to see Number Four vs. Number Four! That scene is called wonderful. Brother Chen also promised to go to the scene to shoot to show him, okay, there is no chance now, and people don't play it.

"We didn't change much."

Zhao Gang shook his head:

"And it also needs to be transported to Huo County, which can only be obtained directly from the warehouse."

The new tank has advanced performance, relatively high requirements for members, and the priority of talents is biased towards production and construction, and the speed of refitting is not fast, and the main force of the army is still the No. 4 tank.

This is the main reason why the navy has been expanding only slowly.

Among the poor talents, seventy percent were divided by the factories, and the rest were divided into the three armies, and the three armies were all during the period of great expansion, and the emergence of a large number of technical arms made the demand for high-tech talents increase greatly.

Is this just that there are more monks and less porridge?

It's like a monk from three temples grabbing a bowl of porridge.

However, at present, there is no security threat in the base areas, and as for that little devil, the troops are completely capable of coping with it at present, and it is the right choice to develop the industrial economy first, and it is also supported by all of them.

Decades of experience in melee have proved that what you produce yourself is the most reliable.

"It's a pity."

Li Yunlong still has a regretful face.

Although the No. 4 used by the family was subsequently upgraded, better than the Germans, with more horsepower and a more reliable engine, the overall performance is also similar, and the fight is actually about the same.

But people don't want it.

Even if he sells a sale.

I can understand it.

If the tanks of the two armies are the same, it is too easy to make an oolong.

"Just give them steamed buns."

Grand Master Li then smiled slightly:

"Xie Mantou, who is equipped with a diesel engine and uses the No. 4 tank gun."

This is a special customized version of his Grand Master Li.

Zhao Gang rolled his eyes.

This kind of tank was specially customized by Li Yunlong for business.

The Sherman's chassis was used, the crew compartment was reduced to a reduced altitude, the engine was the same diesel engine as the No. 4 tank, and the gun and sighting system were also No. 4.

The turret was also partially offset towards the Four,

The whole stitch is weird.

However, the performance is stronger than Xie Mantou.

·····

That night, the general had selected all the weapons and equipment, including anti-tank artillery, various artillery, tanks, transport vehicles, etc., and he was very satisfied with the tanks specially customized by Grand Master Li.

Powerful.

Although compared with Xie Mantou's 500-horsepower gasoline engine, it is only 380 horsepower after changing to diesel, but the horsepower drop only reduces the maximum speed on the road, and the off-road speed does not decrease but rises. After all, the diesel engine has enough torque, suitable for off-roading, and due to the reduced height, the weight has also been reduced a lot, the standard weight is only 30 tons, and the passage of harsh terrain is stronger, which is more suitable for the eastern line.

The gun was also replaced with the 75 gun from the German No. 4 tank, but the barrel was lengthened to 56 times the diameter, and the armor-piercing ability was extremely strong, and with tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, it was stronger than its own 85 gun.

After repeated evaluation of howitzers, the general still chose a part of the German 105 howitzers, as well as 122 howitzers, 152 howitzers, 120 mortars, 107 rocket launchers, plus a large number of shells.

In fact, he most wanted to buy the 155, 125, and 105 systems equipped by the independent regiment, and the technical performance was much stronger than his own, but Grand Master Li didn't sell them.

As for the truck, Grand Master Li did not pick the door, the ten-wheeled heavy truck was sold openly, how many or how much, and he couldn't put down this kind of truck with strong horsepower and strong passing ability, and directly placed an order for 50,000 vehicles.

He also bought a batch of big mules, but the big mule Grand Master Li bid very high, and one of them was directly comparable to a ten-wheel heavy truck, which caused the general to not place many orders.

After finalizing the contract, he flew to Huo County overnight and began to organize the handover of weapons.

He couldn't wait to hand over these good weapons to the front-line troops.

······

By the third day.

Arriving in the hinterland of Central Asia, the general of the industrial town of Awaxmutu was organizing the transportation of the first batch of supplies - 2,000 75-caliber anti-tank guns and 2,000 tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells.

The performance of the new 75 anti-tank gun was perfect.

The same performance as the new tank gun.

Due to the caliber, as well as the use of some aluminum, this artillery is lightweight, even in harsh terrain an infantry squad can be pushed, barrel trucks, Willis jeeps can also be easily towed.

56 times diameter, high bore pressure, tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile makes this gun also strong armor-piercing, comparable to its own 85 caliber gun.

As for defense, it's almost a little bit worse.

At noon on the same day, the first train with a hundred 75 anti-tank guns and a hundred base shells departed.

At the same time, a telegram arrived in his hands.

"General."

The staff officer reported to him:

"The command ordered us to transport two hundred tanks to the Far East to cooperate with the Far Eastern Army in a counterattack."

The Far East was beaten by the little devils, how could the bearded man swallow his anger, and immediately launched another conscription, and then transferred some of the guard troops from Mosco and Ural, coupled with scattered recruitment, finally gathered more than half of the armored division's strength to prepare to recapture the territory.

A large number of recruits were also recruited again from the medium pressure and other places.

"Yes."

The general nodded.

The gang did not limit the use of tanks, and it was no problem to transport them to the Far East.

······

Also on the same day.

Far East.

"What kind of tank is this?"

Tanaka looked at a column of tanks parked in the open space, a little flustered.

He was also a knowledgeable man, all kinds of tanks of the Germans, all kinds of tanks of the bear in the north, all kinds of tanks of the Americans, all kinds of tanks of the French, and the tanks of the Reich - although he had never seen most of them, he still saw a lot of pictures.

The tank in front of him was something he had never seen before in the world.

But.

It seems to have the shadow of an Imperial tank, especially the Type 3 tank.

It's a lot like.

"Type 4 tank."

Kotaro Ito replied with a smile.

"Four Styles?"

Tanaka's eyes widened:

"Is it..."

The four-style is an improvement of the three-style Sakamoto, and he still knows this.

After falling out with the Locust and the base camp, to his surprise, instead of severely punishing the locust and the base camp, the locust and the base camp regressed, once again supporting him with a large number of recruits, and relaxed the requirements for collecting supplies.

Then let him play freely, as well as collect as many supplies as possible to transport them to the country.

If there is a benefit, he will naturally not let it go, collect all the recruits, and then continue to purge the diehards, strip away the influence of the locust, and openly and secretly propagate the voice against the locust.

At the same time, he also strengthened his dream.

The retreat of the base camp and the locust shows that the local area has been blown up by Grand Master Li, and he can ······ just when the time is ripe

When the time comes.

President or Prime Minister, which one should you choose?

So he thought for the first time that this was sent from China, but after looking at the number, there were hundreds of vehicles in front of him, and those oil drums, there was this production strength in China?

When pigs fly.

"No, it can't be domestic."

He immediately shook his head, then continued:

"It's behind us..."

"Yes."

Ito nodded happily:

"Tomorrow there will be a large number of 105 howitzers, 120 mortars, 150 cannons and other heavy artillery pieces."

"Looks like we're going to have a tough battle next."

Tanaka's eyes narrowed.
