Chapter 83
At about half past four in the morning of January 27, 1932, a huge flying object hid in the thick clouds at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.
On the way from Shenyang in the northeast to Shanghai in a straight line of 2,017 kilometers, it is now at a speed of more than 800 kilometers per hour just over the mid-air of Shandong. It is now at least more than a thousand kilometers away from the territory of Ruijin, Jiangxi, which was booked by Zhao Heng, and the problem is that the destination it is now going to is Shanghai instead of Ruijin, Jiangxi. In fact, this steel giant ship weighing hundreds of millions of tons, loaded with all kinds of heavy equipment and all kinds of equipment from the Shenyang Arsenal, quietly rose into the air last night, and disappeared into the thick clouds without a trace under the eyes of Huang Xiansheng and other core members of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
Up to now, the 120 long-barreled large-caliber naval guns of no less than 400 mm caliber at the bottom of this guy have always pointed their muzzles to the ground, and in fact, there are no shells and charges in the ammunition depots of many main guns, and the battleship is doing this to intimidate the organizations and forces that will be encountered that will have malicious intentions towards it, so that they can weigh themselves and think about what the consequences of offending this behemoth that can fly in the sky. Of course, once there is an unfavorable word on the ground, those main guns that have already been installed and filled with ammunition are in a firing state... Hehe, he will shoot out powerful heavy shells and smash them on the enemy's head at any time and anywhere, and clean up the annoying threat on the ground by the way.
In addition, several thousand medium- and long-range air defense and close defense weapons of various sizes and calibers are on alert throughout the hull of the ship to prevent the sudden appearance of unidentified flying objects in the air for close reconnaissance and attack. If enemy planes in the air threaten the safety of warships, the enemy will be greeted as soon as possible by a rain of devastating steel woven from dense shells fired by nearly 10,000 or so anti-aircraft and close-in defense weapons of various calibers.
"When do you arrive on the outskirts of Shanghai? Can you get there as quickly as possible? Probably a little bored, Zhao Heng, who was sitting in the captain's seat on the bridge, played with a neutral rollerball pen made using nano printing technology in his hand, and after a few minutes, he turned his head and asked a female clone technical officer why he didn't speed up the battleship so that he could reach his destination earlier.
"Report that the commander is already at the maximum speed, and if you increase it sharply again, it will no longer work. But I don't recommend that you speed up again, with a rapid increase in the limit speed to see that it can be reached in about an hour, the biggest problem is that once the power engine is overloaded for a long time in a rapid situation, it will be damaged, once the engine is damaged, then the battleship will not move, even if you want to repair the engine, it will take at least three months. The female technologist with a clone rating of C+ answered truthfully.
"By the way, if the engine breaks, can't you replace it? Could it be that there is no backup on our battleship?! Zhao Heng, who knew nothing about shipbuilding and maintenance, was obviously a layman, and asked a very idiotic question.
"Sorry Commander, the No. 001462 Multipurpose Space Battleship was originally designed to be responsible for arming and transporting cargo and not to undertake high-intensity combat, so it is generally not equipped with a backup engine, and if it is damaged, it will be returned to the repair shop for repair and replacement of damaged parts. In addition, the engine is large and complex, and it is very troublesome to repair it just by relying on the strength of our hands, and if we want to replace the damaged engine, we have to prepare a lot of manpower and a super giant dock that can accommodate this warship with a length of at least 100 kilometers and a width, and there is not enough raw materials to produce it with the technology of the current era. Do you think there's time to do that in this environment? The female technical officer, who had maintained a smile on her face from beginning to end, replied one by one, and asked a question at the end.
"Well, just when I didn't say it." Zhao Heng, who felt that he had touched a gray nose, habitually touched his nose with one hand. But his mind had already flown to the battle half a month ago.
Going back to December 21, a dozen or twenty days ago, the three-day hasty weapon shooting training was obviously suspected of being improvised. That's impossible! Do you think that this rabble in front of you is the republic/army that will use me in the first battle and use me to win in the future. Let's wake up and wash up.
What makes people even more speechless and maddened is that the group of artillerymen who were temporarily assembled made a lot of jokes, but fortunately they did not stupidly make brain-dead behaviors such as piling shells together and smoking on them. Judging from the harsh training of the Japanese artillery and the training of the artillery of the Republic in later generations, this artillery is obviously purely a group of militiamen who can play with artillery, for example, the trajectory of the artillery team has just been calculated with the artillery team mirror and the target position set by the observer hand, but as a result, as soon as the live shelling is carried out, the shells fired out are flying flat and stable, but the target is stunned that not a single shot hit, and the deviation of the drop point is very large, and I don't know where the shells flew. If you go to the battlefield, you will be angry with yourself if you don't die laughed at by the enemy. Like the shells fired by this group of gunners with remnants, I am afraid that my own troops can only ask for more blessings, not to be wiped out by their own shells, otherwise it will not be a very unjust death. Zhao Heng, who really couldn't stand it, had to use the authority of his second-class captain (quasi-captain, rank lieutenant) to use the clone cultivation tank that came with the battleship to produce a regiment of 2,000 regular artillery, he planned to replace the temporary gunners who were obviously a little soy sauce, and also pulled out ten of the hundred high-quality and high-quality gun barrels that were imitated and elongated according to the dozen or so twenty-four large-caliber heavy artillery barrels pulled out from the Northeast Military Arsenal. Since the vehicle doesn't have to hurt many brain cells, can't the artillery be loaded with a tractor.
A model is called a Caterpillar D11T-CD heavy-duty bulldozer, and the chassis is completely tracked mechanical device into Zhao Heng's sight, but Long Bazun glanced at the parameters given by the battleship and was almost not startled:

Zhao Heng drooled and asked the battleship to work overtime to produce no less than forty bulldozers and thirty chassis with only tracked running gear. When Long Bazun saw the produced tractor with his own eyes, he was very happy, because it was not yet needed to moth these 40 bulldozers, and the other 20 chassis used 10 heavy guns with the whole gun mass removed from the base of 278 tons of Liao-made imitation Meiji 45-year style 24 Sheng, which had been lengthened on the chassis of the Caterpillar D11T-CD heavy bulldozer with the cab removed, and the original bulldozer of more than 100 tons was suddenly almost two-thirds lighter. The other twenty were converted into matching ammunition supply vehicles and maintenance vehicles.
According to the practice of naming weapons in the world's ** teams and later republics/armies, the name and initial letter are generally the naming standards. However, Zhao Heng, who was lazy, wanted to break his head, and in the end he named it at random, so this kind of patchwork hodgepodge was grandly called the P-L-Z 1932-style 240mm self-propelled artillery or should it be said that the self-propelled gun mount was born, and it was also the Qiba naming method of Zhao Heng's irresponsible pseudo-military house. According to Zhao Heng's eyes, this thing is estimated to only be a takeaway.
According to the benchmark that each of the ten self-propelled guns requires only one squad (each squad has a base of 12 people), the remaining twenty ammunition supply vehicles and maintenance vehicles are also the same as one squad each. If this is calculated, these 30 cars are equipped with a total of 360 people, so there are 1,640 people left in the team of about 2,000 people. Long Bazun thought for a long time before patting his thigh: simply organize the remaining people into an infantry regiment that is not yet formed, and the weapons and equipment that the infantry regiment should have will be distributed, and at the same time, this unit has been assigned a task to protect the only large-caliber self-propelled artillery of more than 200 mm at present.
