Chapter 513: Inspect the whole army

On July 29, 1941, Han Yunhua issued Order No. 11 of the commander of the Military Region, ordering the troops of the former Jizhong Military Region to be the backbone, and the Jizhong Military Subdivision of the Inner Mongolian Ancient Military Region to be formed on the basis of the territory of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Jizhong Military Region.

At the same time, Han Yunhua also ordered the original units of the Jizhong Military Region to be reorganized into two infantry divisions, with the unit numbers of the 59th Division and the 60th Division. 59th Division Commander Meng Qingshan, Political Commissar Li Yingwu; Wang Ping, commander of the 60th Division, and Sun Yi, political commissar of the 60th Division, due to the small number of troops in the Jizhong Military Region, both the 59th Division and the 60th Division are rare divisions of the Inner Mongolian Ancient Military Region with two brigades and four regiments.

The leading cadres of the newly established Jizhong Military Sub-district have also been adjusted, and Lu Zheng is no longer the commander of the Jizhong Military Region and has been transferred to another role. Li Jingquan was promoted to commander of the Jizhong Military Division and commander of the 9th Division, and He Guangyu was appointed political commissar and commander of the 17th Division. The entire Jizhong Military Sub-district has four infantry divisions and one cavalry division, with a total strength of more than 93,000 troops, which is the smallest number of troops among all military subdivisions in the Inner Mongolian Military Region.

Not long ago, Wan Guoquan sent a telegram from Erenhot, saying that they had already made contact with the Soviet Red Army and had received the equipment, and at the same time the two sides had also had a relatively good exchange, and the Soviet comrades were surprised by the quality of the cadres of the Inner Mongolian Military Region and highly appreciated the soldiers of the Inner Mongolian Military Region.

According to Wan Guoquan, the Soviet Union supported the Inner Mongolia Military Region with a total of 231 BT-5 tanks and about one infantry division, including 76 "guns" and 105-caliber guns.

Han Yunhua thought carefully about the "sexual" performance of this BT-5 tank, Han Yunhua is familiar with the T series, the main tank of the Soviet Union during World War II, and he also has a certain understanding of this BT series, but his understanding is very limited. Now just listening to the name and model is definitely not understanding its "sexuality", but no matter what the "sex" ability of the tanks supported by the Soviet Union is, but Han Yunhua thought that the things produced in the Soviet Union were worse than the kind of tanks produced in Japan that were not tank tanks and combat vehicles and were not called chariots, so he ordered Wan Guoquan to pull back whatever the Soviet Union gave.

In fact, what Han Yunhua wants most is the Soviet Union's main battle tank - the T34 tank, which as the Soviet Union's main battle tank in World War II, has played a certain role in the superiority of "sex" in data and "sex" in actual combat. Another key point is that the tank is simple to operate, and it is no exaggeration to say that a farmer who has never learned to drive a tank can learn how to drive a T34 in a few days.

Han Yunhua remembers that the legend about the T34 is recorded in the historical records, it is said that in the Battle of Stalingrad, the workers in the factories in the city were working hard to make the T34 tanks, and whenever the Nazi troops came, the workers of the tank repair shop drove the T34 tanks to fight the Nazi army. The Battle of Kursk was the largest decisive battle of tanks in World War II, and the Soviet Union's losses amounted to 6,064 vehicles, and the main reason for its large losses was the serious lack of pre-war training of tank crews. Such a simple tank can be called a miracle in the military history of the world, and the rapid production capacity in various countries in the world can indeed quickly replenish combat losses, but the training of tankmen takes time, and a qualified tanker cannot be trained successfully casually. So the T34 But this simple and easy-to-build tank is very popular with all countries, especially those small countries with low productivity and countries with a low level of cultural education for the whole population.

But Han Yunhua also knew that the Soviet Union itself was not enough for such advanced tanks, so how could it be possible to support the Inner Mongolian-Mongolian Military Region, and it was only 1941 now, and the production of T34 tanks may not have been put on the agenda, so it would be useless for him to think about it here. BT5 Although I don't know how "sex" can be, but it shouldn't be too bad to think about, even if it can't deal with Japan's main battle tank, but it's always okay to fight infantry, anyway, in a word, give it, let's not be picky.

All aspects of the military region have entered the normal, and Han Yunhua can finally come down easily. Han Yunhua made a plan for himself, just after Wan Guoquan sent the tanks supported by the Soviet Union to Guisui, he would "hand" all the trivial matters of the military district to Luo Da Political Commissar to deal with, and concentrate on troop building.

On July 31, Wan Guoquan and others finally returned to Guisui, and Han Yunhua was overjoyed and immediately rushed to Guisui by train.

After watching the so-called BT-5 tank, Han Yunhua smiled bitterly, the Soviet Union is really speechless, this BT-5 tank Han Yunhua has also seen, it is in the military museum of later generations. This tank was successfully developed by the Soviet Union in 1933, and the entire Soviet Union produced 1,884 units in the first few years, of which only 263 were equipped with radio stations and frame-type antenna-type BT-5s, and the tanks supported by the Inner Mongolia Military Region did not have radios. The hull and turret of this tank are a "mixed" structure of riveted and welded steel armor. The front part of the hull is the cab, the middle part is the fighting compartment, and the rear part is the power compartment. The wheelhouse and the fighting compartment are connected, and the fighting compartment and the power compartment are separated by partitions. Power-transmission is rear-mounted, and the exhaust pipe of the engine is equipped with a muffler. The engine's power is first driven by the cooling fan and then transmitted to the gearbox through the main clutch.

The "sex" of this tank can only be said to be average, it is a kind of imitation of the United States a light tank successfully developed, the whole tank combat weight is 11.6 tons, vehicle length: 5.50m, vehicle width: 2.23m, vehicle height: 2.174m, armor thickness: the maximum armor thickness is 13mm (front and side of the hull and turret), the armor behind the hull is 10mm, the bottom is 6mm, and the crew is 3 crew members.

The main armament of the BT-5 is a 1 "door" M1932 45mm tank gun, which is quite powerful, and the armor-piercing shells fired by the 45mm tank gun can penetrate the 43mm steel armor at a distance of 90-inclination at a distance of 300m, the 35mm steel armor at a distance of 90-inclination can penetrate at a distance of 1000m, and there is also a "Ting" 7.62mm machine gun as a paving weapon. The maximum speed is 52kmh on tracks, 70kmh on wheels. The maximum travel is 160 km for tracks and 200 km for wheels.

The entire BT-5 only has armor thickness and firepower configuration to make Han Yunhua quite satisfied, and Han Yunhua, the combat vehicle produced by the Japanese army, also knows very well, the main combat vehicles of the Japanese army are the Type 94 light tank and the Type 95 medium tank, as for the latest Type 97 tank, there are only a small number. The Type 94 light tank was developed by Japan's Hino Motor Co., Ltd. in 1933, and the prototype was completed in 1934. It entered service in 1935 and was soon deployed in the poorly paved area of Manchukuo, where it fought as an infantry division with separate chariot companies (6 vehicles per chariot company). After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, the Type 94 light combat vehicle was also put into actual combat, mainly used for infantry support, reconnaissance support and armored hauling.

The "performance" of the Type 94 light tank is very poor, the engine is a Mitsubishi air-cooled four-stroke gasoline engine, the armed system is only a "Ting" 1x6.5mm Type 91 machine gun or 1x7.7mm Type 92 machine gun, and the armor thickness is about 6-12mm, which is far worse than that of the BT-5. Even though China had almost no armored forces and lacked anti-tank weapons, people soon discovered a way to deal with the Type 94 tank, a bag of explosives, a bundle of grenades...
