Chapter 314: Winter Equipment
Mobile reading
The operation methods of open-wheeled trucks and screw propellers are two completely different experiences, wheeled vehicles are engine-driven front wheels or rear wheels, traction or propulsion tires rub the ground to achieve forward power, and the guide wheels rotate left and right to make the direction of the vehicle effectively adjust to complete the steering; But the propeller used by the Rhino transporter is completely different, it is by adjusting the power output of the propeller on both sides to produce different friction on both sides, so as to achieve the demand for steering, if you want to find a similar drive mode in the old world, it is the tracked propulsion system of the tank.
Unlike tracks, propellers rely on the huge friction generated by soft ground to propel the vehicle, but its own volume is very large and hollow, so the propeller vehicle is often able to float on the water, especially when moving on swamps and bushes on complex ground, the propeller vehicle can get a passing ability that other vehicles cannot match.
No one knows why Niu Dazhuang was so skillful in driving the rhinoceros transport vehicle on the sand, he dexterously operated the vehicle to bypass one obstacle after another, sent the soldiers to the predetermined location, and then transported the wounded back from the "front line", not to mention the indigenous non-commissioned officers and officers, even Zhang Yuan, who was in charge of the development of this kind of vehicle, and several veterans of the industrial committee could only be stunned and had no say at all at this time.
Niu Dazhuang couldn't be more satisfied with this kind of vehicle, now he was smiling, sitting in the driver's seat, operating two joysticks with both hands, controlling two different transmissions, no one knew why he was so sensitive to the slight shock of the car body and judged the angle of rotation of the car body, he himself felt as if it was inexplicably successful, the vehicle deftly bypassed one rhino transport vehicle after another that was training on the training ground, leaving them far behind.
The soldiers in the car were also staggering, and they were now a little envious of the other comrades in the car, at least they didn't have to staggering around in the car like themselves, and had to grab everything around them that seemed to be fixed.
"Stop and shoot while on the move!" With the roar of the non-commissioned officer, Niu Da Zhuang "snapped" and put the joysticks of both hands back to zero, the rhinoceros transporter does not have the common braking system on traditional wheeled vehicles, because the threads on its screw thruster have incomparable friction, and it takes a lot of power to travel on the ground when the original friction is very strong, once the power is zero, the screw thruster will immediately stop running and stop, and it does not have the hand brake and other parking systems that are needed on the car, in front of the huge friction of the screw thrusterIt's basically impossible to push it.
Niu Dazhuang's car quickly zeroed in as soon as it was hula, and the Foreign Legion soldiers on it grunted and rolled all over the carriage, but fortunately there was no place on the car that was easy to bump and bruise, and every soldier was ordered to wear a helmet, so although everyone fell quite embarrassed, no one was injured.
"Hurry up! Get up! The non-commissioned officer roared loudly, lifting the soldiers who were scrambling to get up one by one and pushing them to the side of the firing hole. The main design purpose of the rhinoceros transport vehicle is to quickly transport personnel and materials on the snow in the north, and it must also have the corresponding self-defense ability, so the designers specially reserved the observation window that can be opened on the closed metal canopy on the car body, although these rectangular windows are called observation windows, but their function is not really just for observation, but also can be used to shoot outside, and because the window is relatively large, the range of shooting can reach about 135 degrees.
The soldiers raised their rifles one after another and began to aim at the target a hundred meters outside the window, and with a crackling sound of rifle shooting, the target a hundred meters away was shot down one after another. The soldiers immediately unloaded in the compartment, reloaded, and fired a second round of fire. A large amount of smoke was sprayed outwards from both sides of the transport vehicle, almost covering the body of the vehicle, and the interior of the carriage was suddenly filled with gunpowder smoke, and the soldiers were choked and coughed, and many of them did not hit the target.
"Keep going!" The non-commissioned officer yelled, and the smoke in the carriage was so thick from the second shot that everyone couldn't open their eyes and coughed heavily. Niu Dazhuang heard the voice of the non-commissioned officer, and hurriedly pushed the joystick with both hands, and the rhinoceros began to move forward again. As the vehicle moved, some wind finally began to penetrate in some places, blowing away some of the thick gunsmoke, although everyone still had some coughing, but it was still much better than just now.
"The smoke extraction system in the car may have to find a way." Liu Shenhong said on the side, he pointed to Niu Dazhuang's rhinoceros, "You see, when the carriage is not well sealed, there can still be so much gunpowder smoke coming out, which means that there should have been a lot of gunpowder smoke gathered in the carriage when shooting just now." ”
"Well, that's true," Lin Shenhe nodded in agreement, "It's just two shots, and so much gunpowder smoke has gathered, if the battle is fierce, it is likely to cause the eyes of the people in the car to be unable to open, affecting the combat efficiency." ”
"And what are you going to do?" Liu Yeqiang, who was standing next to him, looked a little unkind, "The most important thing for the rhinoceros car now is to ensure the temperature in the body, you also know that it is the Xiaoice River period, our average temperature here is almost less than five degrees Celsius, and the temperature in Shanxi and Shanxi is definitely more than ten degrees below zero now, if you really go there, just in the process of motor transportation, our troops may need to stay in the car for ten to twelve hours a day." If the temperature is not guaranteed for such a long time, I can guarantee that many people will suffer frostbite just by marching. ”
"Yes," Lin Shenhe looked thoughtful, "but smoke exhaust is also a very important issue, if it is just to keep warm, it is likely to affect the combat effectiveness, the soldier can't see it, how can he know that the enemy is approaching?" And how to shoot at the enemy? No matter how good a weapon is, it is useless to say anything if it misses the target. ”
"Our current Senate army, whether it is the Foreign Legion or the Army, Navy and Air Force, is recruited locally, even if it comes from the north," Zhang Yuan said on the side, "Those are also people who have lived here for many years, and their bodies have adapted to the local climate and environment, and now sending such a large group of southern troops to the north to fight in the winter is prone to freeze to death and frostbite." ”
"In winter, keeping warm is combat effectiveness," Lin Shenhe said, "When the German army attacked the Soviet Union, it lacked enough winter clothing, which led to the freezing of a large number of soldiers with rich combat experience in the first year, and at the same time, because of the diseases spread by fleas such as typhus, a batch of deaths, so that the German army's combat effectiveness fell in a ladder, and it had to switch from strategic offensive to strategic defense." ”
"The problem of fleas is not too difficult, it is winter, and the germs are not reproducing as fast as the other three seasons," Liu Yeqiang said, "As long as you pay attention to personal hygiene, it is basically unlikely that fleas will multiply on a large scale, such as changing clothes and bathing frequently." ”
"You told me to change clothes and take a shower frequently in winter?" Lin Shenhe was a little speechless on the side, "How many baths do you take a day now?" It hasn't snowed here yet, and many of our elders here have begun to dislike bathing very much, but there is a 24-hour hot water supply in the old area of Oriental Hong Kong! And how to solve the laundry? What's the point of just taking a shower without changing clothes? It was very cold in the north, and one of my uncles used to be a soldier in the northeast, and he saw that many people were soaking ice cream in winter, so he also bought one, and halfway through eating, he found that his saliva was frozen faster than his own ice cream. You say that in such weather, how long does it take for the cotton clothes of the soldiers to wait for them to dry? Even if a soldier is equipped with two sets of military coats, they can only be washed once during the war, and after washing, they will not dry before the arrival of spring, and they may be able to be used as body armor directly. ”
"Body armor? What do you mean? Zhang Yuan was a little curious, Lin Shenhe glanced at him, "It's frozen, take out the cotton clothes after soaking them in water and put them outside, you can see that the cotton clothes are directly frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye." My uncle used to have a joke, and it was strange to say that four people slept in a sentry post, and it was too cold to go out in winter, so they spilled all their urine in a large basin, and when they got up in the middle of the night, they found that the military coat covered in the quilt was kicked and fell into the urine basin at some point, and they were all frozen. I could only roast the frozen urinal on the stove in the middle of the night, and no one dared to go out, and the whole house was smoked with the smell of urine, until the doors and windows were opened for a few days after the arrival of spring. The weather in the north is so miserable, if we need to fight in the north, this preparation is absolutely insufficient, not only the soldiers' equipment, cotton clothes, cotton pants, snow clothes, and Lei Feng hats are also indispensable! And the supporting materials of soap, laundry, special laundry room, drying room are all to be equipped together, without these, don't tell me anything about the northern war, how much you will die, in front of nature, we are weak chickens! A flock of weak chickens from the South! ”
Hou Qiu is far from cool, and he is secretive to learn Zhan Yangnuo
Listening to Lin Shenhe's words, everyone was speechless for a while, before Lin Shenhe talked about this, everyone just felt that the north was just a little thicker in snow, a little colder than the south, and there were often people in the north on the forum who complained that the south was colder than the north, which brought everyone to a misunderstanding, thinking that the south was clammy and colder than the north, but in fact, the north was the real cold, and the south was just "frozen".
Hou Qiu Yuan was not cool to learn from Zhan Yang Nuo and the secret forest Shenhe nodded, "Let me first say what I know, this time in order to fight north, the Quartermaster Department ordered five hundred military coats and five hundred pairs of fur boots from the light industry department, and at the same time replaced the rattan helmets worn by the soldiers with steel helmets. But this is a very bad configuration scheme, first of all, the military coat is not a cotton coat, but an ordinary tweed coat, although the tweed coat can be kept warm here, but in the climate environment of more than ten degrees below zero and wearing autumn uniforms are not much different, must be replaced with a cotton coat, and the workmanship can not be simplified! Our old world military coats can block the tiger's claws, and the new world military coats must be able to do the same! In addition, fur boots are also a trouble, in the northern snowy environment, leather boots are a must, but waterproof is a very serious matter, if you wear leather boots with hair inside, it is easy to sweat on your feet when you move, once you don't move after sweating, it is easy to feel cold, so that your feet are as uncomfortable as falling into an ice cave. If it's me, the best way is to wear single leather boots, but the inside of the boots should be cotton, cotton or wool can be added in the middle, but not directly with the feet. In addition, soldiers must wear socks, and need to wrap the footcloth to increase the warmth effect, once wet, you can directly change the footcloth and socks to ensure that the feet are dry; Steel helmets are an even more important threat. I've seen new steel helmets, these steel helmets are similar to the steel helmets of the Germans in World War II, the inside is made of leather suspension, but in the north in winter, the metal helmets are easy to conduct temperature, the heat of the head is spread out, and the leather will absorb water, and the soldiers are easy to absorb the leather when their heads sweat during the battle, and the cold wind will take away the heat after stopping, and the sweat will be frozen, and it will be frozen directly with the soldier's hair and scalp, and it can't be torn off. ”
"So what equipment do you think our soldiers in the northbound army still lack?" Li Yuan, who had not spoken beside him, suddenly spoke, since Qian Longzhou was seriously injured in the Shabak Rebellion, he had been recuperating in the Dongfanggang General Hospital, Li Yuan had served as the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion before, so he directly took over the position of commander-in-chief of the Foreign Legion. With the last Shabak Rebellion, Li Yuan had a deep understanding in the battle, although he had the initiative of the Japanese company in commanding the battle, and also had a lot of his successful command credit, so the soldiers began to accept him as the commander-in-chief after all.
Lin Shenhe nodded, "I'll tell you first, this time in order to fight north, the Quartermaster Department ordered five hundred military coats and five hundred pairs of fur boots from the light industry department, and at the same time, the rattan helmets worn by the soldiers were replaced with steel helmets. But this is a very bad configuration scheme, first of all, the military coat is not a cotton coat, but an ordinary tweed coat, although the tweed coat can be kept warm here, but in the climate environment of more than ten degrees below zero and wearing autumn uniforms are not much different, must be replaced with a cotton coat, and the workmanship can not be simplified!

"So what do you say you should do about it?" Li Yuanbian said, then took out a small notebook and pencil from his pocket and opened it to prepare for the record.
Lin Shenhe immediately gushed out, "First of all, the military coat is replaced with a cotton coat, and the military boots are replaced with the kind of single leather boots I said, or the inner liner is added to ensure that the wool and cotton do not come into direct contact with the feet, and the soldiers distribute socks and foot cloths, and each person has a few more pairs." The steel helmet was removed and replaced with a cotton hat like the Lei Feng hat, or the previous rattan helmet was still worn, and a cotton helmet was added to keep warm. In addition, soldiers had to distribute supplies such as gloves and woollen sweaters. Saying that, Lin Shenhe leaned over to see if Li Yuan had written it all, and then said, "It is best for the soldiers to be able to distribute matches and solid fuel to each of them to ensure that they can maintain a minimum of survival ability in the field and not be frozen to death and frostbite." ”
