"Uncle Cheng, this is ......" Looking at these strange-looking vehicles in front of him, Qu Tuquan felt a little surprised.

"Don't worry, the Iron King Eight of this regiment are all yours, but you have to wait a little longer to see it." Cheng Zhijie said calmly.

"Iron King Eight?" Qu Tuquan took a closer look and found that it was indeed very similar to the Iron King Eight, the whole car only had some small holes, and he couldn't even see the door there, compared to the bus or truck they were sitting in, this was the Iron King Eight.

The two waited for less than a quarter of an hour, and several buses entered the barracks one after another, and Cheng Zhijie hurriedly took Qu Tuquan to greet them.

It was only at this time that Qu Tuquan understood why Cheng Zhijie said that he would wait for a while.

Because the prince was not far behind them, this time it was not only his own receiver who came, but the prince also came to inspect it.

I have to say that the prince is very good at being a man, although he is not very old, but after seeing Qu Tuquan, he is warm from the cold.

Although it feels a little weird, deep down, it does give people a warm feeling, a feeling of dying for a confidant.

"Your Highness, this is the Iron King Eighth Army......" Cheng Zhijie pointed to the hundreds of cars in front of him.

"Iron King Eight?" Li Chengguang was stunned.

"Uh...... Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, it's armored troops, armored ......" Cheng Zhijie Khan, hurriedly changed his words, the armored force is the name given by Li Yuanji, and the Iron King Eight is like him, and it is also called Shunkou, and then it is called so, for which those goods keep saying that they are not educated, but I didn't expect it to be smooth now.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Cheng Zhijie hurriedly began to introduce it, and even robbed the lines of the equipment workshop.

"This armored car uses the latest No. 3 steam engine, which is seven meters long, a little shorter than a truck, three meters wide, slightly wider than a truck, and weighs ...... How much does it weigh? Let's talk about this, the exterior of the whole car uses a two-centimeter-thick composite steel plate, which is hard enough to resist the attack of grenades, and the whole car has a squad member, one of the squad leaders, a driver, a machine gunner, a co-shooter, six fighters, a total of ten people in the class, according to actual measurements, this car can run about a thousand miles a day......"

"Can you run a thousand miles a day?" Li Chengguang was taken aback, and Qu Tuquan was equally surprised.

A thousand miles a day, this is no different from a train, this speed, it seems a little scary.

In this case, starting from Chang'an, wouldn't it be possible to run to Yumen Pass in two or three days?

"Uh...... That's just the data on the test site, in fact, it shouldn't be able to run so far, and other aspects have to be taken into account, but once you add water and coal, you can run nearly 200 miles. Cheng Zhijie pointed to the cement pavement on the ground.

The test was carried out on the cement road, and the speed was naturally farther, and it was still running day and night, if you really ran, you would not have this speed, and you would not even run such a long distance.

"But don't worry about the endurance, equipped with coal and water trucks, according to the establishment of a regiment, the maximum marching distance is about 1,000 miles."

Li Chengguang nodded, this distance is not close, and it is even a little unfinished, and more importantly, even if there is really no coal, you can walk by finding some firewood, but the speed will not be too fast.

Of course, these are not the point, the point is that Li Chengguang has a fancy to the firepower of this armored car.

A machine gun, the current machine gun is no longer the machine gun that was tested at the beginning, after more than three years of painstaking research, a series of problems have finally been solved.

Although it still looks a little bulky and unsuitable for the rapid maneuvering of troops, fixing it on the car does not have this problem, but can highlight its firepower even more.

Again, equip it to the car, and its position will naturally be higher, and the higher the position, which means that the line of sight is better, the shooting range is better, and it can hit farther places and hit more enemies.

The machine gun was above the car, and there was a bulging machine gun tower, and Li Chengguang went in to take a look at it for himself, and found that there was really something else inside.

The machine gun is positioned just enough for two people to stand on, and the machine gun tower can provide protection for it, and the machine gun can be slightly moved up and down, left and right, but the range of movement is very limited.

It doesn't matter though, the important thing is that the secondary shooter can solve the problem.

The responsibility of the deputy shooter is to load, and if the bullet is loaded, the current bullet chain is used, a bullet chain of 100 bullets, at the beginning and end of the bullet chain, the use of disposable hard rubber bullet chain, can connect the two bullet chains together.

If you don't use it, then it's a bit troublesome to play one bullet chain at a time.

In addition, the co-shooter is also responsible for controlling the position of the machine gun tower, according to the requirements of the machine gunner, to rotate the turret, so to speak, the dead angle of an armored car, that is, about five meters around the body, as well as the bottom part of the roof, and other places, there is no dead angle at all.

In addition to one machine gun, the six fighters also have their own positions, which are two to two two, that is, two to the left and two behind, and all three positions have two smaller shooting holes, which can release the muzzle of the gun and provide a certain line of sight to shoot outward, which can be regarded as a supplement to firepower.

And the entire armored car, with only one door in the rear, can enter and exit.

The outside is locked with an old-fashioned latch, and the inside is three points upper, middle and lower, manually locked, as long as the inside is not opened, it is absolutely impossible to knock on the outside, and the thickness of the door is the same as that of the machine gun tower, reaching three centimeters.

The driver's line of sight is also very small, only a smaller hole can be seen, and this hole is still hinged, if the enemy is really close, you can manually close the lock to prevent internal attacks through this hole.

After seeing some of the layouts here, Qu Tuquan finally understood why Cheng Zhijie called this guy Iron King Ba.

What is this special meow that is not the Iron King Eight?

Anyway, so far, Qu Tuquan has not thought of a way to kill this Iron King Ba.

"There are coal water bunkers, ammunition bunkers, and machine gun ammunition can carry up to 5,000 pieces, but this is only determined according to the capacity of the magazine, if you really encounter an urgent task, or if the supply can't keep up, you can put some ammunition in other places, it's no problem to stuff 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and the soldier's bullet is a small problem, and it's okay to have 500 random bullets. Therefore, this armored vehicle also has a small amount of equipment in several mobile armies, in addition to carrying out fire assaults, it will occasionally undertake the task of battlefield supply, but it is estimated that it is unlikely to be used, there is always one more way. Cheng Zhijie said with a smug face.

Although he was about to step down, during his term of office, the Tang Army completed the reform of modernization, and also started the reform of the mechanization era, and the two reforms were only six or seven years apart, so he was still very proud.
