With the morning sun, a long convoy drove out of the jade table full of Gobi style. Soon walked on the road in the suburbs of the city, and drove quickly to the northwest in the golden light of the bright sun.

The convoy drove northwest for more than an hour at an hour of 50 kilometers, and finally stopped in front of a military camp, and the people in the car stepped out of the car one after another, among which Zhao Bei's position was the most prominent. As for the others, they are either military officers or high-ranking government officials. are all key figures in the central government of the country.

Surrounded by the entourage, President Zhao walked to the front of the barracks and looked up, but saw a rectangular wooden plaque with black characters on a white background hanging on the left side of the barracks, one zhang high and two feet wide, with a row of large characters written on it: The First Division of the National Defense Forces Commander's Hall.

That's right, this is where the headquarters of the 1st Division of the Commander's Hall is located, and this 1st Division of the Commander's Hall is now the only fully formed armored division in the Chinese National Defense Forces.

At present, although China is stepping up the construction of its army strength and expanding its armored forces, the largest strategic establishment of most armored units is only armored brigades. Only the first division of the commander's hall is a complete division in terms of structure, and this alone is enough to be proud of the whole army.

The division has three brigades, two of which are tank brigades and one brigade is a mechanized infantry brigade, and the equipment is the best in the whole army, and the officers are the best in the whole army, including Bai Lang, many commanders of armored units who have made outstanding achievements on the battlefield in Liaodong are now serving in the first division, and the combat effectiveness of this armored division can be imagined.

In the past two years, the First Division of the Commander-in-Command Hall has conducted military confrontation exercises and combined exercises with the elite units of the National Defense Forces on many occasions, and has not only accumulated rich tactical experience, but also trained a large number of qualified grass-roots officers and non-commissioned officers, many of whom have been sent to other armored units to serve as grass-roots officers.

It is precisely for this reason that the first division of the commander's hall is called the "Liberation Division", and the division headquarters of the division is naturally called the "Steel Cave". Actually, it's right in the "steel cavern" station. There is a little-known specialized school for armored forces, which is directly affiliated with the Army University of the Wehrmacht, from which no less than 500 cadets are graduated every year. After graduation, these officers must also serve in the 1st Division of the Commander's Hall for at least half a year before serving as junior officers in other armored units.

The phrase "the battalion of the mirror, the soldier of the flowing water" is very suitable to describe the first division of the commander's hall. This armored division was originally a great wall of national defense built with steel, and with this division stationed in Yumen, the northwest frontier is as stable as Mount Tai, and once necessary, this armored division can easily move quickly along the railway line and go east to Huangguan. To the west, the sword can point to the Tianshan Mountains, and if it does not move, it will be like a tiger out of charge, sweeping everything.

In the past, the division headquarters of the division was set up in Jiayuguan, but after the end of the war against Japan, the first division of the commander's hall was upgraded from an infantry division to an armored division, and not only was the number of soldiers of the troops replaced in large numbers, but also the division headquarters was also transferred from the west of Jiayuguan to a Gobi desert less than 90 kilometers away from the Yumen oil mine, so that not only could the safety of the Yumen oil mine be guaranteed, but it could also move westward at any time. Control the situation in the entire northwest frontier region, and if the center gives an order, the division can also immediately move north and attack Outer Mongolia.

Now, Zhao Bei has arrived from the Yumen oil mine. I came to inspect the first division of the Commander's Hall.

Before the president's action, the chamberlain sent someone to inform the division headquarters, so when Zhao Bei led the attachés into the barracks, he saw hundreds of neatly lined up officers, all wearing armored uniforms, fully armed, and energetically saluting on both sides of the gate.

"All of them! Attention! Salute! ”

Zhang Licheng gave the order, and all the officers raised their right hands and saluted the president.

Since he was not wearing a military uniform, Zhao Bei did not salute, but just waved his right hand with a smile. He waved first to the officer on the left, then to the right, and waved his hand as a salute.

The reason why he didn't wear a military uniform was because Zhao Bei planned to wear an armored soldier to have a good time on the tank and take a tank to inspect the troops, so he didn't change into the gorgeous but very dirty general uniform before he came, only wore a very simple republican uniform, a black top hat on his head, and of course, the small pistol that never left his body was still in his right pocket.

"Zhang Licheng, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the First Division of the Commander's Hall, warmly welcomed the president's visit and inspection! According to the president's order, an armored corps tactical confrontation drill is ready, and the exercise can start just after the president's order! ”

Zhang Licheng ran to Zhao Bei to stand upright and salute. He shouted a few words loudly, while the lecturer who followed him supported the full suit of armored soldiers in both hands. This is specially prepared for the president, and the tank boots and tank caps are all new, and they are picked out of the warehouse according to the president's physique.

"Good. Disband your men and take their places. I didn't ask you to send people to participate in the last Yanmen Pass exercise, and I heard that you were not convinced, now. I'll just see with my own eyes how majestic your "steel river bottom" is. Don't be stunned to go to the exercise troops, wait for Hao Louxun's military uniform, and rush over soon. ”

Zhao Bei didn't say much wordy, and ordered a few words. beat Zhang Licheng to go to the training ground first, and he chose an office and took off the republican suit. Changing into the outfit of the tank soldier, and then putting on the tank hat, and looking in the mirror, it looks so presentable.

After changing into a military uniform, Zhao Bei walked out of the office. I saw a newest tank "Boom." drove over, the cockpit hatch opened, and the pilot was none other than Bai Lang, the deputy commander of the first division of the Commander's Hall.

This is the parade car that Zhang Licheng chose for Mr. President, Zhao Bei was not polite, followed the pedal to the top of the tank, and then entered the tank through the hatch at the top of the tank, and then, the captain of the guard, Qin Sihu, also followed, and closed the hatch.

"Boom Boom"

The motive of the tank roared, and then rolled forward, as for the henchmen of Mr. President. I can only sit in the car and follow behind, following in the choking exhaust fumes of motives.

The exercise ground was on the Gobi Desert opposite the barracks, and soon Zhao Bei rushed to the place, and then couldn't wait to climb out of the tank. Just sit in the hatch, press the hatch with your left hand, and press the throat intercom on your throat with your right hand. Give the order to Bai Lang, who is driving the tank.

"Let's not go to the review stand, let's go to the attacking side first

Hearing the command, Bai Ming twisted the joystick. The tank immediately turned around and headed southwest.

Seeing that the president had suddenly changed his plans, the government attachés and military officers who followed him were a little flustered for a while, and their cars and motorcycles were chaotic on the Gobi Desert, and it took a while to restore order, and then they hurriedly followed.

Before the tank arrived at the attacker's position, Zhao Bei returned to the tank cabin and watched the telegraph operator receive the telegram. At present, tanks and armored vehicles have not yet been equipped with wireless telephones in batches, so most tanks still use the ancient flag language for communication, and the latest tank that Zhao Bei is riding in is a special command vehicle, responsible for directing the actions of the armored assault column, and in this exercise, the radio station of this tank directly communicates with Zhang Licheng's command vehicle, and does not directly interfere with the command.

As one of the achievements of heavy industry, China's tank and armored vehicle manufacturing level has also improved a lot, and now, China's heavy vehicle factories have been able to manufacture tanks weighing up to 20 tons, and tank guns have also been expanded from 47 mm short-barreled guns to long-barreled guns of the same caliber. At present, some tanks have been replaced with 47 mm long-barreled tank guns with 50 times the diameter, which have faster initial shells and stronger armor-piercing ability, and can easily penetrate the frontal armor of European tanks at long distances.

In contrast, the tanks and armored vehicles in the European theater are relatively primitive, not only completely copying the style of the old Chinese tanks in the Sino-Japanese Northeast Asian War, but also very clumsy in the use of tactics, usually there is no large-scale flanking tactics, the most commonly used tactics are frontal assault, and for this purpose, the tanks of the European military powers are now expanding in the direction of large volume and multiple turrets, because in the eyes of the officers of the European military powers, the tank should be a weapon used to support infantry combat, Coupled with the fact that the degree is not fast, the best way to fight is to install more cannons and more machine guns on the tank.

However, the idea of the tank exhibition of the Chinese Defense Forces was very different from that of Europe, from the very beginning. It takes the single-turret route, and attaches great importance to the improvement of the performance of the tank's motor and the comfort of the ride.

To improve the performance of the tank motive. China's industrial technology department has continuously improved the structure of the diesel engine, which not only ensures more motorcycle hours, but also allows the motor to provide more power, and at the same time, the suspension of the traveling part of the tank has been optimized. Moreover, the shape and structure of the tracks have also been adjusted to enable the tank to adapt to various road conditions, and the width of the tracks has been widened, which further improves the adaptability to the road and ensures fast marching in field conditions.

The tank that Zhao Bei is riding in now is a command vehicle, in order to install a huge radio station, the tank gun had to be canceled, and the real weapon is only a machine gun, but in order to confuse the enemy, the tank still retains the turret, and a hollow steel pipe is also installed on the front of the turret, the diameter and length are exactly the same as the real gun. Due to the limitations of means of communication, the current tank divisions are not yet able to organize large-scale coordinated operations. There are only a variety of plans that can be developed before the battle begins. The attacks of the various armored assault detachments are then coordinated according to changes in the battlefield situation, in which case the size of the armored forces is too large and meaningless, and it will affect the flexible command of the troops. It is precisely for this reason that at present, there is only one armored division in the Chinese Army, the First Division of the Commander's Hall, and this is still an establishment that has been retained at the insistence of Zhao Bei, because he is very clear about the direction of the future tank force. , If you want to know what happened next, please log in to the old bar than ", more chapters, support the author, support the genuine reading of the concave said mixed Shanshun book to dry the umbrella
