Chapter 464 Self-propelled howitzers
The break-in of the Qing army in Beijing came to an end, which also reminded Wang Yue that his old enemy Huang Taiji didn't want to be honest, and he had bad intentions.
The more the meat king of Liaodong intends to digest it from the starting point city, it seems that he will have to start arranging it after settling these immigrants.
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants is a big project, and the starting point city has transported more than 300,000 people to Taiwan in a short period of time.
But Wang Yue is still not at ease, so he has been patrolling Tamsui and Keelung these days, because some immigrants have been shunted to Keelung, which is very rich in mineral resources, in addition to coal mines and even gold mines.
Now Tamsui and Keelung are full of busy scenes, with the dispatch of the civil affairs department, the migrants have been arranged to do things, so you can see people coming and going everywhere.
Wang Yue still travels in an armored command vehicle, and the tracked vehicle can adapt to complex terrain, especially in Taiwan, where there are not many roads now. After a long time, the immigrants have become familiar with armored vehicles, and the number of engineering vehicles in Taiwan is gradually increasing.
"These are all good paddy fields, I took people to take a look, just the freshwater area, within a year can be at least 6 million acres of wasteland." Luo Haiping, who is in charge of agricultural reclamation work in Taiwan, was transferred from the agricultural department of Qiqi City, and he is a native of Daxing, and under the leadership of Minister of Agriculture Shen Youfu, he has studied a lot of agricultural science and technology books brought by Wang Yue.
Wang Yue stood on a small hill, and below was a large swamp, and there were many swamps in the freshwater area.
"I'm going to send in more bulldozers and excavators, and the drivers need to be trained to get these swamps out as soon as possible." Wang Yue said.
Luo Haiping said: "Thanks to Lord Wang's strong support, with these machines, the progress will be faster." ”
Wang Yue nodded, and said as he went down the hill: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Luo Haiping hurriedly followed: "It's hard but it's not hard, the work we do is just to organize manpower and prevent malaria, and it's too humid than here in the north." ”
Wang Yue asked He Bin, the head of the civil affairs department who was following him, "How are the migrants?" This is his main concern.
He Bin said with a smile: "They were indeed a little overwhelmed when they first came, but now not to mention how relieved they are, Lord Wang has made another activity of sending fish to everyone, and the atmosphere these days is a bit like a festival." ”
Wang Yue also laughed when he heard this, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, the immigrants are happy, and he is in a good mood.
He Bin sighed: "If this continues, Lord Wang's prestige among these immigrants is about to give birth to a Buddha. But isn't it a pity that so much money is given to these immigrants for free? ”
Wang Yue said to He Bin when he heard this: "My purpose of governance is to seek well-being for the people and make the people happy and healthy. As long as you leaders understand this, you will find the right direction for your work. Furthermore, it is said that wealth is something outside the body, which is not brought by life and is not taken away by death. ”
He Bin admired: "My lord is really a natural saint!" ”
Liu Ru, a reporter accompanying the army, looked at Wang Yue and seemed to be a little confused, is this what the saint looks like?
Wang Yue shook his head with a smile and said: "I am not a saint, my kindness will only be given to our countrymen, and will never be given to outsiders." Another thing that must be remembered is that no one will cherish what comes for nothing, so in the end it is necessary to let them know that there is a reward for what is gained. ”
He Bin, Luo Haiping and others nodded again and again when they heard this, and they almost took out their small notebooks.
At this moment, Wang Yue's walkie-talkie rang, and Feng Yuanshan's voice came: "Report to the commander, we are ready." ”
Wang Yue took the walkie-talkie from the confidential secretary Li Xuezhu and said, "Received, I'll go over." ”
Bidding farewell to He Bin and Luo Haiping, the armored command vehicle went straight to Yangmingshan with several armored vehicles in the guard platoon, which was a tourist attraction in later generations, and now an area near this is designated as a military restricted area.
"Commander!" Feng Yuanshan saluted Wang Yue, who had just gotten out of the car.
Wang Yue returned the salute, then looked at the four strange chariots in the venue and asked, "Have they all been test-fired?" How are the soldiers getting acquainted with it? ”
Feng Yuanshan said: "Although there is a big difference between this gun and a tank, in fact, there are many similarities, we have used training shells for more than a dozen rounds, and we have also fought several rounds with live ammunition, and the basic method of firing has been mastered!" ”
"Very well, then see the power of this cannon again." Wang Yue nodded.
"Okay, Commander, just take a look!" Feng Yuanshan said proudly, and then pointed to a halfway mountainside in front of him and said: "The mountainside five kilometers ahead is the target area." ”
Wang Yue took the binoculars and looked at it, "Have you arranged a guard to clean up the surroundings?" No one will break into it by mistake, right? "From the telescope, you can see that the exposed white rock in the opposite half of the mountain must have been shelled.
"Don't worry, Commander!" Feng Yuanshan Road.
Wang Yue put down the binoculars and said, "Let them prepare." ”
"Yes!" Feng Yuanshan responded.
"This, this is also a tank?" Liu Ru, a reporter with the army, couldn't help but ask curiously.
This time he came to Taiwan because of the limited transportation capacity, he only carried one tank, as the main force of the siege, Liu Rushi has also seen it, and also knows the name of the tank. But the four tanks in front of me are quite different from tanks in terms of appearance, mainly because the barrels are too long.
Li Xuezhu, the confidential secretary, smiled and said nothing, the starting point city and the Tiance army have countless unknown things. She is different from Liu Ru, she never asks, but sees with her eyes, listens with her ears, and gradually understands.
Wang Yue smiled and said to Liu Rushi: "This is not a tank, this is a cannon!" ”
"Is this a cannon?" Liu Ru was even more curious, she had seen the Hongyi cannon on the city wall of Nanjing, and it was too different from this kind of cannon.
"To be precise, this is called a self-propelled howitzer!" Wang Yue said.
Wang Yue brought them here, not worried about the possible leakage of military secrets. No country in this time and space has the ability to make self-propelled howitzers, even if they steal, it is difficult to drive away, the journey of this artillery truck is only five hundred and fifty kilometers, and it will not take long to steal it, and a gun truck has only one hundred and eighty rounds of ammunition.
To be precise, this is a Type 05 155 mm self-propelled howitzer, which uses only one type of ammunition according to the actual needs of this time and space, that is, a high-explosive grenade, so the reserve ammunition is 180 rounds, and if it is the original time and space, this kind of artillery truck is equipped with six kinds of ammunition, 30 rounds each.
Although there is not much ammunition to spare, the gun cart is equipped with an ammunition delivery cart that can continuously supply ammunition without the use of ammo.
