Chapter 270: Can You Train Tank Crews?

Rainy and foggy, a convoy drove on the road to Tamengye. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The base is deep in the mountainous area, except for the outer ring line is a valley, and there are many flat lands, and the middle part is basically high mountains and deep streams, which is not suitable for human habitation.

Ta Meng is 30 kilometers away from the southwest Guijiao, located in the left half of the base slightly lower position, just deep between the mountains, the surrounding is either an extension of the mountain range, or a mountain package, the terrain is fragmented, and it is almost impossible to find much flat land.

Its only connection to the outside world is the road from Guigui to Tamonye. However, this highway was only mobilized for manual construction after the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression in the base areas. Prior to this, the road connecting Gui and Tamengye was only a dirt road trodden by pack horses.

At this time of year, the road has long been muddy and unwalkable due to heavy rain.

Now with the newly built concrete roads, even in the rainy season with abundant rainfall, it is impossible to block the flow of people and materials. As the convoy traveled along the way, it saw a lot of vehicles coming and going.

However, these are all military vehicles painted in dark green.

Today, a small number of mountain villages have been relocated as a whole. With Tamengye Town as the center, within a radius of more than 20 kilometers, there are continuous barracks, C field, shooting range, field training ground, and mountain training ground. The pedestrians who came and went were all soldiers dressed in 79-style camouflage.

Between the valleys, from time to time you can see clusters of anti-aircraft positions covered with protective nets, and below the anti-aircraft nets, there are clusters of high-ss gun barrels pointing towards the sky.

The boundary of nearly 400 square kilometers is like a huge military camp.

The convoy was stopped at a checkpoint, and several soldiers wearing military rubber raincoats came forward and carefully checked their military ID cards and passes before raising the railing and letting the convoy pass.

Inspections like this, they've been given several times along the way.

This is also necessary to completely isolate Tameng from the outside world, prevent the infiltration of agents, and create a pure internal environment.

Unless the other party also has the ability to survive in the wild like Guan Fei, and can sneak in all the way through the reckless mountains, it will be difficult to find out the details of this closed base.

Watching the convoy disappear into the rain and fog, several fighters at the checkpoint looked at each other, and they all saw the glint of excitement in each other's eyes.

"Did you see that?"

"Of course I did! Although the cargo loaded on the flatbed truck was covered with rainproof canvas, the silhouette could not be covered. I can't see that there's a tank underneath, that's blindness! ”

"Then in the first few cars, why are all technicians in white coats?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's a maintenance person? ”

"You're guessing. How can there be maintenance personnel wearing white coats, they have not been acted in movies, and those wearing white coats are either doctors or scientists. Besides, I just looked at the heavy flatbed trucks, and the tires were not very deflated, which means that the things on the vehicles are not heavy, and they are definitely not tanks. ”

"And what do you say?"

"Could it be an armored car? When I was serving in the country, I saw armored vehicles with turrets......"

Several fighters returned to the checkpoint, took off their raincoats, and discussed what exactly was loaded on the convoy that had just passed. On this rainy day, far from the barracks, just a few of them were guarding a checkpoint, and if they didn't have some fun, it would be too difficult.

Discussions like this have happened in the previous checkpoints.

The people in the convoy didn't know anything about it, and still drove the car all the way east, speeding towards the destination.

The road is built at the foot of a northeast-southwest trending mountain range, the left side of the mountain range is very long, but not too high, the absolute height of the ridge to the road is about 300 meters, and the right side is relatively flat and the terrain is very open.

This flat refers to the fact that there is not much difference in absolute height, but it is covered with large and small hills and mountain packs.

The small hills are no more than a dozen meters high, and the small hills are only a few dozen or a hundred meters high, but there are very many of them, and they are densely spread all over the land. As a result, there is not much flat land in the whole area, so it is impossible to cultivate, only a small number of abandoned terraces left after the relocation of villages, and sparse sorghum stalks can be seen on some small hills.

This shallow hilly area is a training ground for the troops for field combat training.

In the rainy season, the troops correspondingly reduced their outdoor training subjects, and along the way, they only saw a unit of training scale, still wearing rubber raincoats, haunting the hills and training to fight in the rain. From time to time, you can hear the gunshots of empty cartridges, which look a little muffled under the cover of rain and fog.

When the convoy reached a distance of about two kilometers from Tamengye Town, the camps on both sides of the road became densely packed and gathered into regiments with battalions and companies as units.

The streets in the town are vertical and horizontal, the roads are complicated, and the signs on the roads are all the names of the garrisons of each brigade and battalion. From the headquarters of the organs to the brigades, battalions, and companies, they are scattered across this area of more than 10 square kilometers, and even the map markings are all marked according to the "base headquarters" and "logistics department," as if the entire Tameng page has been turned into a pure military town.

A trumpet sounded from the barracks on both sides, and it was obvious that although they could not train outdoors because of the rain, they were still insisting on indoor exercise.

There are also some troops who are taking advantage of this time to carry out political and ideological education.

Whether it is indoor training or political and ideological education, it is all about keeping these commanders and fighters from being idle because of the rain and keeping them from idle. Although the military is sacred, after all, it is the individual who makes up the military group, and the young men are well fed, well-trained, energetic, and in the period of adolescence.

In order to allow them to consume excess energy and meet their spiritual needs, the camp has also set up a number of activity venues: gymnasium, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, football fields, tennis courts, karaoke, roller skating rinks, libraries, shopping malls, game rooms, cinemas, teahouses, cafes and other sports, cultural and entertainment facilities.

The staff working in these living facilities are all family members of professional soldiers in the army. This is to solve the requirements of family members to join the army, and at the same time, it also solves their employment problems, which can be regarded as one of the few ordinary people in this large military camp.

The soldiers and the masses along the way saw the convoy, and they also showed expressions of surprise and excitement, but there was discipline, and no one rashly approached to watch, but just pointed at the moving convoy from a distance, and discussed with their companions.

The convoy crossed the main street of Tamengye Town and arrived at its final destination, the 1st Tank Brigade of the Northern Theater of the People's Liberation Army, a kilometer away from the town and between two hills.

The barracks of the tank brigade were located on the southern slopes of two hills with their backs to the town.

"God, it's time for you! We claim to be a tank brigade, but in the six months since it was founded, we haven't seen a single tank. The instructors who came from China told us every day about the origin and development of tanks, showed us all kinds of documentaries and military education films on tank combat, and taught us the structure, disassembly, and maintenance of tanks. ”

After receiving the notice from the sentry, all the commanders of the tank brigade, including the brigade commander, political commissar, deputy brigade commander, deputy political commissar, chief of staff, and deputy chief of staff, all poured out, including more than a dozen tank instructors who were supported by the country, and they also came out in the rain.

As soon as he saw a cadre who got out of the head car, wearing a white coat on the outside and a military uniform on the inside, the brigade commander Chai Huacheng grabbed his hand and said excitedly.

"Brigade Commander Chai, I'm sorry, the tank is still being improved. It is estimated that it will take about two months to finalize the improvement work. What we sent this time was only a tank simulator, not a real tank. The technician, whose hands he was holding tightly, said with some embarrassment.

"Not a real tank?"

As soon as he heard this, Brigade Commander Chai's face suddenly became ugly, and the other cadres also had a stupid look, feeling that they were happy in vain.

Hearing that it was not a real tank, the few domestic instructors who looked surprised relaxed and said with a smile: "I'll just say, how can the improvement of tanks be so simple." It is unimaginably fast to be able to complete it within this year. When Brigade Commander Chai told me that the tanks had been delivered, I was taken aback and said how could this be. What's going on with this tank simulator trainer? Did you make a few models to train how to drive? That's not bad, and with this model, we don't have to just talk about it on paper. ”

Several domestic instructors braved the drizzle with great interest, stepped forward, uncovered a corner of the canvas, took a look at it, and immediately shouted: "Good fellow, this model is really done!" Look at this track, this is a real track! There are also driving wheels and weight wheels, all of which are real! ”

"What?" The instructor who was the leader hurriedly ran over, looked at the uncovered corner, and even reached out and knocked and flicked on the steel structure, listening to the sound of metal crisping, he was also taken aback: "Really! This model is so well made that it sounds exactly like the real thing. ”

"Of course it looks like it's true, because that's what was removed from a real tank!" The technician who led the team smiled.

"Removed from a real tank? What's going on? Brigade Commander Chai and the domestic instructors were all surprised, and immediately asked.

"Aren't we doing a retrofit? According to the modification plan, the tracks were to be replaced with stronger and more wear-resistant materials, so the old tracks were replaced. Thinking about the principle of waste utilization, I installed them on this simulator, and the driving wheels and load wheels are the same, which is also to strive for reality, so that when you use it, you have the feeling of driving a real tank. The technician explained with a smile.

Brigade Commander Chai and the others suddenly realized, and seeing that he had been shielding himself from the rain with his hands when he spoke, he reacted from the initial ecstasy, and hurriedly said, "This comrade, let's go in and talk." ”

The technician didn't accept his kindness, shook his head and said, "Let's get down to business first." Brigade Commander Chai, I called before, is the training room you built ready for you? ”

"Is that the training room, I thought it was a maintenance workshop ......, ready, ready. I'll take you there. Brigade Commander Chai was surprised, although he was a little unclear, he still enthusiastically led the way, and walked up the slope with a few technicians.

A group of people climbed to the top of the slope and their eyes lit up, facing a shallow hill in the mountains.

It's actually a mountain depression surrounded by several mountain ranges, with two or three hills with a gentle slope. In general, the terrain is high around the periphery and low in the middle, and the place where there is no hill is very flat, and the most important thing is that the place is wide, with several square kilometers, which is suitable for tank training.

It was originally farmland, but now it has been bulldozed, compacted, and converted into a tank training ground.

At the base of the gentle slope, a canopy supported by four columns was built. The roof is very large, 400 square meters up and down, supported by columns nearly ten meters from the ground, but there are no walls around it, no shelter, no way to stop the rain, the rain drifts in and wets the surrounding ground.

On the ground under the roof, two rows of deep pits were built longitudinally with cement.

Fourteen cement pits are arranged longitudinally in each row, and there are twenty-eight in the front and back rows.

The total length of the cement pit is about 20 meters, there are two or three meters of downward ramps at both ends, and the deepest part is more than seven meters high, which looks very similar to the pit for repairing cars.

A few dozen meters away from this huge shed, at the foot of another hill, there is a two-story building, and a transformer bank can be seen behind the small building.

After the technicians saw it, they nodded again and again: "Not bad, that's it?" Is there electricity here? Is the fiber optic line laid? ”

"It's all right! The optical fiber line specially laid by the engineer battalion is also erected according to your requirements, according to 10,000 volts, and it is connected to two different power supply lines. The distribution box is placed in the small building, and a set of heavy oil generator sets is also prepared, which can meet the power supply of 2,000 kilowatts in a short time. Brigade Commander Chai and the others still didn't understand what they were going to do, but they still tried their best to explain.

"Good! That's great! Now it's convenient! Several technicians immediately turned around and waved down the slope, signaling the convoy to come around and stop at the north slope.

"So, comrade, what are you going to do? What does this simulation trainer do? Brigade Commander Chai couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

He didn't suspect that these people were here to sabotage, but the order was directly issued by the headquarters, and he also had the other party's documents and letters of introduction confirmed by phone, and it was indeed the Research Institute of the Military Command Department, and the issuer was still the commander himself, so it could not be faked.

But he really couldn't understand what they were trying to do here.

If you don't have a real tank, what kind of models will you send to train tank crews?
