Is Seoul far away?

Speaking of which, it is only 50 kilometers away from the forward units of the Volunteer Army.

Since the launch of the Fifth Campaign, the progress of the Volunteers on the Western Front has been extremely rapid, not only quickly breaking through the defense line of the United Nations Army, but also adopting bold interspersed tactics one after another, until the United Nations Army is overwhelmed.

The only thing worth mentioning is the 7th Brigade of the British Army, which was greatly damaged after the destruction of the British Royal Tank Battalion, but before they could react, the Gloucester Battalion, which was placed next to the British Royal Tank Battalion, was also eaten by the Volunteer Assault Division on the other side.

You must know that it was a unit that even Marshal Montgomery admired, so much so that even the military cap that his old man wore carried the logo of this battalion, which was a unique double cockade in the British army.

In terms of strength, equipment, and staffing, they were not much better than the British Royal Tank Battalion, but when they faced the attack of the Volunteer Assault Division, they only lasted an hour and a half before they were destroyed.

The British 7th Brigade, which successively lost the 6th Battalion of the British Commonwealth, the British Royal Tank Battalion, and the Gloucester Battalion, almost lost the main force, even if their brigade commander was extremely unwilling, but he could face the only two remaining infantry brigades with mediocre combat strength and a large number of logistics troops like frightened birds.

All the British 7th Brigade could do was retreat – a real retreat.

And the choice of the British army is also very correct, so the two divisions of the Volunteer Army in front of him have formed a pincer posture against the British Seventh Brigade, if they do not retreat south one step earlier, what awaits them is the end of the whole brigade.

But even so, the British Seventh Brigade also suffered heavy losses, after all, unlike the previous one, in order to cooperate with the established battle plan, make a certain retreat and contraction, the British Seventh Brigade can still maintain the same up and down.

At this time, they said that it sounded like retreat, and if it was put in a popular way, it was flight, to such an extent, not to mention combat effectiveness, and even resistance was not at all.

As a result, the British army was captured by a large pile, and all kinds of weapons and equipment were thrown all over the mountains, which not only cheapened the pursuit troops of the volunteers, but also benefited a lot from the military workers in the rear, and this naturally included Bai Yi!

It stands to reason that Bai Yi, who is full of thinking in his previous life, looks down on the weapons and equipment of the British, without him, just because it is too strange!

Perhaps it is the complex of the empire on which the sun never sets, and the British have always made a difference in the development of weapons, such as the caliber of heavy field howitzers during World War II, countries basically choose between 150mm, 152mm or 155mm calibers.

However, Britain did not do so, and insisted on making a nondescript 140mm caliber, which not only had a short firing range, but also very weak power, not to mention competing with the German 150mm caliber artillery, and even against the Japanese 150mm heavy gun, which was completely rotten.

As for firearms, even more so, while other major military powers coincidentally adopted the 7.62mm caliber, Britain clung to the 7.7mm caliber.

There is also the 114mm naval gun that was treated as a treasure by the British Navy, until the arsenal that produced this modified caliber shell went bankrupt and the production line was closed, and the conservative British Navy had to switch to American-made 127mm naval guns.

……

There are countless of them, so Bai Yi is really not very interested in the equipment of the British army, even if he puts the capture of the British army in front of him, he doesn't bother to take a look, and there is no other military technician who is happy to study it.

Until one day, when Bai Yi went to a certain unit for technical maintenance, he looked at Zhang Huangxin, a tanker of a certain tank regiment, scratching his ears and cheeks in front of an emergency repair vehicle converted from an old-fashioned "Cromwell" tank.

At this moment, Major Zakharov of the Soviet Union, who was appointed as the technical instructor of the tank regiment, pursed his lips indifferently, immediately stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in slightly stiff Chinese: "Oh~~ Dear Comrade Zhang, you should take good care of your baby T-34\85, instead of fighting with a rag that no one wants here!" ”

Zakharov is right, the repair car in front of Zhang Huangxin is not only not wanted by the British, even if there are few military technicians in the rear, there is no way to really have nothing to do with this repair car, you must know that the Soviet Union at the same time, the equipment in this regard is much stronger than the British modified car.

Not to mention anything else, even the repair vehicles equipped by several tank regiments currently belonging to the Volunteer Army are much better than this one, so after this car is registered by the technicians of the Logistics Department of the Volunteer Army, it will be thrown there as a pile of scrap metal.

But it was such a waste wood guy who no one wanted, but Zhang Huangxin, the tanker who was the best at studying vehicle techniques and tactics in a certain tank regiment, gritted his teeth, as if he had encountered a fierce enemy in life, and had a momentum of not giving up without a big purpose, which made Major Zakharov very puzzled, what could be on this car to entangle this combat hero who drove the T-34\85 tank into the city of Hancheng in the third battle?

"It's easy to drive, it's flexible to use, it doesn't take much effort, it's easy to drive away, I've tried other captured vehicles in the British army, but I don't feel that way, so I don't know why......"

Major Zakharov's doubts did not last long, Zhang Huangxin gave an answer, but Major Zakharov did not listen, and when he heard it, he burst out laughing: "Okay? Easy to drive? Zhang, do you think these are manifestations of strong combat effectiveness? No...... You are wrong, the tanks of the West are very easy to drive, but their combat effectiveness is not weak to the point of home, and the victory of the Chinese comrades at the front today is a good proof of this, not to mention ......"

As he spoke, Zakharov's pale gray eyes showed disdain that could not be concealed, and he shook his head slightly at the repair car in front of him: "This guy in front of you is the most basic model of 'Cromwell', not to mention now, even during World War II a few years ago, this tank is just a cheese to be slaughtered, it is not worth mentioning at all, and now, if you don't want to collect it as an antique, then go back to the furnace to make iron!" ”

"But it feels really different when it drives, at least it's much simpler and much less labor-saving than the T-34\85 tank!"

Maybe other people listened to Major Zakharov's words, and probably patted their butts and left, but Zhang Huangxin is a stubborn person, as long as he recognizes the right thing, not to mention a path to the dark, but it is not too much worse.

However, when Zhang Huangxin heard this sentence in the ears of Major Zakharov, he was very unhappy, and he used a bunch of tattered modified goods that were no different from scrap iron to compare them with the world classics with outstanding achievements in World War II, which was a shame for the Soviets to be slapped in the face.

But Zhang Huangxin didn't care so much, looked left and right, and found that Bai Yi was watching the excitement there, so he rushed over without saying a word, grabbed Bai Yi's arm and called: "Expert Yi, come over and take a look, what's going on with this car?" ”
