"Such an army simply cannot withstand the attack from the Qi army. The individual combat effectiveness of the Qi army is very strong. It is possible that their individual quality will surpass that of the Qin soldiers, and their fighting skills and the shooting of rapid-fire weapons far surpass ours. And it is possible that they will surpass us in terms of equipment. Our country offers a small-sized machine gun designed specifically for close combat. (This refers to submachine guns.) This gun can fire five hundred rounds in a minute. In an extreme time, a thirty-round magazine can be fired, and such a powerful firepower is enough to suppress those rifles that only have a single round in an extreme time. The disparity is all too stark. Said the military observer.

However, for the small machine guns mentioned later, as well as this new type of weapon. The Qin military did not pay too much attention. In the opinion of the criteria for the procurement of weapons by the Qin army. This rate of fire is fast, but weapons that use pistol bullets have a natural disadvantage in terms of firing distance, and the accuracy of shooting is very poor. For this weapon. The military is not optimistic. Moreover, they argued, it was a substitute created by the previous arms trade restrictions of the Qin state. Qin Jun is not very optimistic about this.

Qin Jun is not optimistic about this is also his own reason, and they are trying their best to sell and show their expertise in this area. Their first customer was Yan Jun.

Everyone knows that the Yan army has poor combat effectiveness, and this difference comes from the human factor, not the weak will to fight of the Yan people. It is that their state system is unable to arouse such a will to fight. On the contrary, their excessive taxation has weakened this bloodiness. Now, however, the war has changed the factor in which the human body relies directly on physical strength to win. Physical strength begins to decline from a major factor to a secondary factor, while another factor rises rapidly. That factor is weapons. Whose weapons are advanced. And with some kind of special advantage, then he will have an incomparable advantage.

"Huhuhu." An armored combat vehicle with a water-cooled machine gun rotating turret galloped over the Qin military's exercise ground. This is the first standard armored combat vehicle of the Qin State, which was manufactured by the United Automobile Factory of the Qin State. This armored combat vehicle uses a more mature tracked method. The engine is placed in the back. The more powerful the aluminum diesel engine is, the more powerful it is. In the northern part of the Qin State, especially in Guyuan, there are a large number of rare earth resources near Baotou in Inner Mongolia today, and it is the use of these rare earths that the Qin State has made great progress in making some rare special metals, especially aluminum. These new materials offer tremendous advantages in reducing medium weight and providing beneficial heat-resistant fastening. It was precisely this advantage that Qin Guo took advantage of to create such an aluminum diesel engine.

In terms of the power provided by the engine, the diesel engine has an advantage over the gasoline engine, especially when used in heavy tracked transporters. In World War II, Germany also tried to create and popularize this powerful diesel tank. But Germany lacks the necessary rare earth resources. This resource has a natural advantage in the manufacture of special engines, which Germany lacks. The Russian side, because it controls Siberia, is more abundant in this resource. But now, the Qin State is not worried about this, because the Qin State has a place where rare earths are produced.

However, it is worth mentioning that the armored fighting vehicles of the Qin State at this time used four-stroke diesel engines, not the most powerful two-stroke diesel engines later. Although the Qinguo laboratory is also experimenting with two-stroke diesel engines, this diesel engine is only in the experimental stage, and a prototype has not been manufactured. In this way, there is a certain limit on the power of the diesel engine used in the Qin State, but the two-stroke diesel engine is already in the experimental stage. I believe it won't be long before it comes to the automotive side.

This armored combat vehicle is built in a two-person group. The interior space of the armored combat vehicle is extremely narrow, because the tank itself is not large, more than one foot long, three feet long, only one foot wide, and less than one foot noble. The interior space of such an armored combat vehicle is very narrow, so the entire armored combat vehicle can only carry two people and the corresponding fuel and ammunition and other supplies.

One member of the crew drove and one operated the machine gun. All armored combat vehicles are covered with a mixture of riveting and welding. The thickness of the armor is only three or five thick steel plates riveted, and some special places are finished by welding. The thickness of the armor was not very thick. Moreover, the Qin State did not distinguish the difference between front armor and side armor at the beginning, and all armor thicknesses were the same.

Horsepower power drives such a somewhat heavy armor seems a bit difficult, so, in terms of speed. The speed of the armored combat vehicle was only about sixty miles per hour. This speed is already very fast for infantry. But compared to cavalry. There is still a certain gap in mobility. It's all about off-road performance. Armored fighting vehicles are not as mobile as horses. This is especially true in mountainous and hilly areas with steep slopes. Sometimes such armored combat vehicles can't get up.

In terms of weapon system, the Qin State Factory originally installed a two-inch small-caliber gun, but the space inside the armored combat vehicle was too narrow to have to be abandoned, and finally had to choose a machine gun as its main weapon. Armored combat vehicles due to the lack of a good sight. Especially on the driver side. Only a small gap can be seen clearly, so the Qin experts used a periscope for the machine gunner to observe, and then communicated with the driver. The reality is that there is a lot of noise inside the armored combat vehicle. The machine gunner can only understand by gestures, or by shouting loudly. Moreover, the machine gunner had to constantly strafe all around, operating the machine gun. Because the weapon that is effective against tanks is artillery. The infantry artillery of the Qin State could take out such a "waste" combat vehicle. The Qin infantry said themselves.

Sometimes, drivers also had to carry pistols. Shoot through a certain gap. The main thing is to protect armored combat vehicles. It can be said that the protection of armored combat vehicles can only withstand bullets, but not from artillery.

In terms of suspension system, Qin Guo used a more advanced hydraulic suspension system. This kind of system is actually not very mature. The tracked vehicles of the Qin State mostly used a suspension system that was common to springs and hydraulics. Hydraulic suspension is also an immature new technology.

Hydraulic suspensions, on the other hand, require plastic materials with good sealing. This material is extremely intolerant of wear and tear. So it needs to be replaced constantly. It can be said that this is an experimental product.

The state of Qin had such tracked armored combat vehicles, experimentally equipped with two companies. However, there is a big difference in how these two companies are used. One is for stand-alone use. It was mainly used in accordance with the cavalry mobile charge tactics. In addition, it is used in conjunction with infantry. But the infantry is generally reluctant to match with such armored fighting vehicles, and firstly, his speed is very slow. Sometimes the infantry went in front of him. The main thing is that the constant appearance of malfunctions makes the armor stop. In addition, armored combat vehicles have a limited line of sight. If the vehicle is reversed, or if the infantry is on the side, it is easy to crush your own people when the armor moves left and right. Several soldiers have already lost their legs as a result. Therefore, the soldiers are very unoptimistic about this kind of thing. They also do not want to fight with armored combat vehicles. When a soldier contacts an armored fighting vehicle, he generally likes to smash the armor of the armored fighting vehicle with the butt of his rifle. Because, they thought that in this way they could retaliate against the tank.

In addition to these. The state of Qin was also equipped with a company of armored vehicles. The armored car was riveted with iron plates on the basis of the Qin Guoding type car. Due to its less horsepower. The Qin State could only match some rifles on it. Or a light infantry machine gun. The firepower of armored vehicles, the defensive aspect was due to the infantry, but in the artillery was barely very weak. The results of the Qin State experiment showed that. At 150 paces, this armored vehicle can be pierced by the old bronze cannon used by the opposing side. If hit in a row. It is possible that the fire will be completely destroyed. Because gasoline is used, gasoline is very volatile.

Qin formed an armored mobile battalion with two companies of armored tracked vehicles and one company of armored vehicles, plus a logistics supply company and a special infantry company. This was the first experimental armored warfare establishment of the Qin State.

On the observation exercise platform, the military of the Qin State invited Ju Xin and the Prince Dan of the Yan State, as well as the ambassadors and military attaches of the Yan State, who have been walking frequently recently, to observe and visit. Except for the Yan people. There are also Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, and his entourage.

The Qin state demonstrated their superiority in armored warfare. Because it is impossible for several other countries to make armored combat vehicles, only the Qin State can create armored combat vehicles. And Qin is also the only major country with a rising automobile industry.

Li Mu and the others didn't say anything. And Wang Qian, the general of the Qin State, kept introducing on the side. Because according to the proposal put forward by the Supreme Council of Qin. The Qin State planned to sell the armored combat vehicle to the Yan State. Moreover, the Qin State wanted to sell the equipment of this battalion to the Yan State at a high price. In exchange for more money to build more powerful armored units. At the same time, in the Yan State, the Qin State wants to test it. Two different ways to use armored combat vehicles are more effective. It has a lethal effect.

And the people of the Yan Kingdom kept looking at these weapons that could be defended and attacked by running back and forth, and this weapon could move and stop. The main thing is that two contradictory combinations, offensive and defensive, were achieved.

In fact, the Yan State has lost the possibility of building a line of defense in a short period of time. And it is impossible to defend the borders of one's own country. It's a fact. But the appearance of such armored combat vehicle weapons. But it can greatly improve the situation. The Yan Kingdom can use armored combat vehicles to build a stable defensive line. Such a line of defense can be constructed with the help of armored combat vehicles.

Line up the chariots. It is possible to complete such a line of defense. And the people of Qin also think so. Qin State let the people of Yan State see it, that's what it means.
