Chapter 60: Training
The first day of training was just an appetizer for the arrangement of the Wen army, and the purpose was just to set a rule for this group of people first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoMore hard training is yet to come. Whether it is tank driving, repair, artillery operation, or even the use of tanks and tactics, the students can be said to be like a sponge desperately absorbing what the civilian army taught them, as for the maintenance of tanks, it is taught by Jiang Tao.
When it was Jiang Tao's turn to teach these people about tank maintenance, Jiang Tao understood why the civil army was so strongly demanding to recruit people with a cultural foundation.
On the first day, Jiang Tao gave a lesson to the group. In order to let them have a more intuitive feeling, Jiang Tao also deliberately asked the three Xia brothers to make a one-to-one wooden model, which can be said to be similar to a real tank except for the different materials. "Look, this is the tank you're going to drive. This part is the turret, this is the body, the main armament of our tank is artillery, the auxiliary armament is machine gun, and the main member is 4 people, namely the commander, gunner, driver, and machine gunner. ”
"Report sir. I have a question. ”
"Say."
"Sir, you said that this tank is so small, we want 4 people to drill on you, then we can't squeeze to death, and this tank doesn't want to have a door like a car, and we won't go through the wall, how can we get in." A veteran asked, scratching his head.
"Haha, I don't even know this, we're going to get through the lid on top." Below there were students who had heard of tanks and sneered.
These are not too big problems, and the most headache for Jiang Tao is the knowledge about some mechanical maintenance. Jiang Tao only talked about these things about maintenance on the first day, and some people forgot about them the next day. At first, the maintenance manual compiled by Jiang Tao was also complained by the veterans that there were too many words and they couldn't understand it, so Jiang Tao had no choice but to add a large number of illustrations to you, so that the veterans could easily figure it out
When it came to learning about tank construction and maintenance, the students performed much better than the veterans, but when it came time to shoot the train, the veterans' strengths gradually became apparent. When using the artillery in the tank, the veterans cooperated in pairs, and the loading and shooting were smooth, but in the hands of the students, the shells were too heavy, the loading was not timely, and all kinds of mistakes were made.
Wen Jun was also secretly observing the talents of these people to see which position they were suitable for in the crew. For example, Shangguan Yunpeng seems to have good leadership skills and a sense of the overall situation, while the hot-tempered Hu Pengpeng has an unexpected talent in artillery shooting.
And when it comes to the real tank, these people feel that the previous training is just pediatrics, on the tank, the roaring diesel engine makes them unable to concentrate at all, the whole head is filled with buzzing, the high temperature emitted by the diesel engine is even more unbearable for them, when the tank starts, the narrow compartment is crowded with 4 people, the temperature emitted by the diesel engine makes the temperature in the car more than 40 degrees, you must know that this is in the northeast, the outdoor temperature at this time is only about three or four degrees, The inside of the tank is like a steamer. These soldiers were really nervous when they first drove the tank, although it took 18 kilograms of force to pull the lever and 35 kilograms to step on the brakes, but as soon as they sat in the cockpit of the tank, they forgot everything, their attention was on the road surface, the instrument, all the movements were mechanical, left, right, forward, stop, after all, it was a dozen tons of iron lumps, long and wide, not to move when you said to move, to stop when you said to stop. Only when I got off the tank did I find that my work clothes were already soaked with sweat, and I felt weak when I sat on the ground, and my bones were sore.
But that didn't stop them, and they soon found a way to make fun of their suffering. The tank works for a long time, and the temperature of the smoke exhaust outlet is very high, and all tank smoke vents have a guard plate about 0.5 meters by 0.5 meters large to prevent the crew from stepping on burn feet. With a 5-8 cm gap between the guard and the smoke vent, they found that there was just enough room for a dozen old corn or sweet potatoes to be stuffed in, making it a natural barbecue for them. Stuff the corn and sweet potatoes into it, and if they are tight, they won't fall out.
After driving a few rounds of the tank, you can smell the aroma of sweet potatoes and old corn from a long distance, and peel off the black corn husk, the corn inside is yellow, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, not to mention how delicious.
Sweet potatoes are the same, peel off the paste skin on the outside, and the fragrance immediately comes out of the inside, the effect is the same as the roasted sweet potatoes sold on the street now.
Someone is about to ask, where do their sweet potatoes and corn come from?
Anyway, it's not stolen, it's given by the people. It is not excluded that sometimes the resting place happened to be on the edge of the common people's sweet potato fields or corn fields, and a very small number of individual soldiers secretly crawled into the fields of the villagers to dig up one or two sweet potatoes or break one or two sticks, but at that time it was mainly given by the common people.
Why should people give it to you?
I'm sorry, after giving corn and sweet potatoes, the people also have their own requirements, they want to light diesel lights.
As long as the tank is trained, and the people in the nearby villages hear the sound of the tank, there are often groups of ordinary people children who come in groups with small bottles, sometimes simply holding kerosene lamps, and ask us for diesel to light the lamp, we take out a small cylinder of diesel from the car, and fill their small bottles or kerosene lamps respectively, and they will walk back slowly and carefully, lest the oil in the lamp be spilled. After a while, I saw these children come back in twos and threes with a few old corn or sweet potatoes, throw them in front of them, and then run home as if they were flying.
Some veterans have a bad personality, and sometimes they meet the common people who are driving the carriage, and when they see that they have stopped the car a long time ago, leaned against the side of the road, and pulled the mouth tightly, I am afraid that these tank drivers will touch him, and the veterans want to laugh in their hearts. I saw some common people holding whips high and waving to them with their feet, lest they not see themselves. The more this is the case, some naughty veterans, when they pass by and meet ordinary people, they just want to bang the accelerator a few times, and some simply drive a tank around them and then go. Later, Wen Jun found out, and Wen Jun took these veterans to the people's homes to apologize, so this kind of behavior did not appear again.
