Chapter 129: Harley-Davidson and Mercedes-Benz G3 Trucks
【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
After the five production lines are exchanged, the 35,000 merit points are gone, and the remaining merit points are less than 30,000.
When the reorganization of the 101st Regiment and the 102nd Regiment is over today, these two regiments will have to replenish the equipment of the two battalions, which will cost nearly 12,000, and the big hole in the cavalry battalion.
However, no matter whether it is enough to spend or not, Yue Weihua now has to spend a lot of merit points, because if the merit points are spent, it means that the Black Dragon Army is a little stronger, so it can be regarded as pain and happiness.
The bullet and shell production line, after Yue Weihua took it out of the merit tower, was directly installed tightly, and did not need too many adjustments, and after everything was done, the workers and masters of the arsenal were invited in, and Yue Weihua was basically immune to everyone's admiration and amazement in their eyes and expressions.
Under the leadership of Yue Hai, Yue Weihua came to the modification department outside the cave, with Yue Weihua's thoughts, on the empty field, dozens of half-abandoned ships appeared out of thin air, and after everything was done, Liao Yongchao, the director of the transformation department, and a cadre of skilled workers called in and began to lecture.
"Most of these ships are seriously damaged, and it is estimated that there is not much repair value, so I can only let you renovate them. It was also used several times in real combat, and these ships. In particular, the steel plate of the steamer is more protective than that of the train wagon. Therefore, if it is adapted into a fortress of war, its ability to resist attacks will be stronger,......。 ”
"In addition, I suggest that you remove all the useless weapons from these ships and reinstall some weapons, such as Maxim machine guns, and even field guns, which can be taken into account, oh. By the way, I have four coastal defense guns here, you can find a way to see if it is suitable to be installed on a steamer or gunboat, or on a train wagon....... ”
"Alright. That's pretty much it, and I'd like to ask who of you here has done repair work. For example, repairing ships? Yue Weihua asked, when the Luoshui Boat Gang joined the Black Dragon Army, there should have been some skilled workers.
Yue Weihua asked. Sure enough, there were a few middle-aged people in the ranks, all of whom were around forty years old. And they really all came in from the Luoshui Boat Gang, and one of them was called Luo Hong. is still Luo Qing's uncle.
"Well, let's do that, you guys will go out with me in a while, and I'll seconded you for a while."
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
……
Two stop town.
With the fall of Su Ma's family, with the unification of the green forest in the north of Aihui, and with the continuous growth of the Black Dragon Army, the town of the second station has completely become the territory of the Black Dragon Army, because considering that the Black Dragon Army will sooner or later become a thorn in the side of Tsarist Russia, the Wolf Domain will sooner or later become the target of Tsarist Russia's attack, and the second station is also the only way to go to the Wolf Domain, so the Black Dragon Army does the work and uses the means of redemption to dismiss the people of the Second Station, if they are willing to enter the Wolf Domain, the Black Dragon Army is also welcome, if they are unwilling, they hope that the people will stay away from the Wolf Domain for the time being.
Now the second station, has been built into an outpost of the Black Dragon Army, after the expansion at the beginning of the month, the fourth battalion is stationed here, speaking of the fourth battalion, as the battalion commander of the fourth battalion Yue Hu, since the end of the battle of Aihui siege and annihilation, has been sullen, who let the fourth battalion in the last place in the competition, this is really too hurtful face.
Although, now Yue Hu has been promoted to the deputy commander of the 101st Regiment, Yue Hu does not plan to move to the 101st Regiment headquarters in the Wolf Domain, but still chooses to stay at the second station, according to his words, where he falls, he will get up from where, so he insists on personally strengthening the training of the current 2nd Battalion of the 101st Regiment (that is, the first 4th battalion), and strives to find face in the next battle.
It was not close to noon, and Yue Hu was still practicing in person on the training ground, this group of soldiers who made him embarrassed yesterday.
"Quick, quick, haven't you eaten?"
"Run for the old man."
……
"Deputy regimental commander, the commander-in-chief is here with a special combat team." The new commander of the third battalion, Fuchawei, came over and shouted.
"Oh, it's noon, commander-in-chief, are you here to eat in our four battalions?" Yue Hu was obviously in a little unemotional.
"No, deputy commander, the commander-in-chief has made a lot of good things in the square, let's hurry over and take a look, with the relationship between you and the commander-in-chief, plus we are now close to the water, how about leaving us some." Fuchawei said with some urgency.
"What the hell is it that is worth calling me over with such a white face?" Yue Hu was still a little unmoved, and said casually.
"This, I don't know what it is, there are two main kinds, one is a two-wheeled iron gada, it seems to be called a motorcycle, the speed is fast, the other is a big guy, the light wheels are ten, it seems to be called a truck, that ......, hey, deputy commander, you wait for me,......
Before Fuchawei finished speaking, Yue Hu had already rushed out.
In the center of the town, about 200 meters long and tens of meters wide, Yue Weihua was riding a very stylish Harley-style motorcycle, which was a 45-cubic-foot twin-engine D-type motorcycle produced by Harley in 1929, which was later known as the Flathead.
The reason why Yue Weihua chose to redeem this motorcycle is mainly because this engine is extremely superior, and it is still in use in later generations until 1972, and it also has obvious advantages in terms of speed, which can reach 100 miles per hour on a smooth cement road, that is, more than 160 kilometers per hour.
Swish!
As soon as Yue Hu ran to the playground, Yue Weihua came to glide, and then directly moved sideways, just ten kilometers in front of Yue Hu, and stopped steadily, so frightened that Yue Hu ran out directly a few meters away, and almost didn't fall.
"Yo he. Xiaohu, aren't you training your subordinates outside the town? Why do you have time to run here to play? Yue Weihua deliberately laughed.
Yue Weihua still understands Yue Hu's depression. Of course, having said that, it is reasonable for the fourth battalion to lose, after all, half of the soldiers of the fourth battalion are Chinese recruits, and half of them are the remaining ones in the Luoshui Boat Gang. That's actually pretty good enough.
Although it is said that it is a little unfair to Yuehu and the fourth battalion, there is nothing fair to fight in the war, so if you lose, you will admit it. Even Yue Weihua can't change the rules of the game.
"Big brother, give it a try."
Where does Yue Hu still have the heart to say anything else to Yue Weihua now, his two eyes are already staring at the Harley-Davidson and can't pull it out, if he doesn't know that he can't beat Yue Weihua. I'm afraid I'm going to snatch it directly.
"Hehe, I can give it a try, but. After trying it, you can't hold your breath anymore, otherwise. This motorcycle, you can not think of driving it in the future. Yue Weihua smiled. For Yue Hu, Yue Weihua is very spoiled, which no one in the whole army knows.
"Don't hold your breath, whoever holds your breath, who is the grandson, come, big brother, you come down, I'll try first."
……
After the merit tower is promoted to the triple heaven, there seems to be nothing else to update except for the M1921 heavy machine gun, which can replace Makqin, but Makqin is now in vogue, Yue Weihua does not plan to replace it so early, after all, the heavy machine gun is too expensive, one will cost 50 merit points, and the caliber of the bullet is different, so Makqin will use it for the time being.
Weapons and equipment cannot be updated, it does not mean that other things cannot, such as cars and motorcycles.
Before the First World War, most countries were only equipped with a small number of transport vehicles, and they were civilian vehicles, their off-road ability, reliability, traction are very limited, although with the progress of World War I, the role of the automobile has been reflected, prompting a large increase in the number of cars equipped by various countries, to 1918, the French army has more than 90,000 cars, the British army also has seven or eight, Germany is almost 60,000, this period, should be called the embryonic period of military vehicles.
After the twenties, military automobiles entered a period of rapid development, all kinds of civilian cars began to be modified, and the formal production of military automobiles, one of which Yue Weihua appreciated was the Mercedes-Benz G3 truck, which was also purchased by the German military in large quantities in later generations.
For the establishment of a motorized force, this is very tempting for Yue Weihua, although the conditions are not ripe now, there are not so many merit points, to exchange for armored vehicles, tanks and other giants, but to exchange some motorcycles, trucks, for auxiliary marching purposes, in addition to make some technical and talent reserves as soon as possible, it is also very good.
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are worth 20 merit points, which is equivalent to the price of a light machine gun, Yue Weihua can still afford it, for this reason, Yue Weihua is ready to exchange 100 vehicles at one time, which will be mainly used by the special combat team for the time being, and of course, a small part will be used as a training vehicle.
As for the Mercedes-Benz G3 trucks, each worth 200 merit points, it should be said that it is not cheap, after all, it is just a truck, and there is no weapons and equipment, the load does not exceed 5 tons, and the speed is only forty or fifty kilometers per hour.
However, the truck still has a lot of use value, although there is no shortage of horses in the Black Dragon Army now, but if you run for a long time, the horseback riding speed is really not fast, the normal horseback marching speed, one person and three rides, can run 100 kilometers a day, and it is also up to the sky, but the truck is different, as long as there is oil, even if it is 30 kilometers an hour, you can easily travel more than 300 kilometers a day, and it is not tiring, you can also load a car of people, and you can fight immediately when you get off the car.
Therefore, Yue Weihua was also ruthless, and directly exchanged 25 trucks with a gritted tooth, of which 20 were used to form a transport brigade, and the other 5 were used as training vehicles, training a large number of drivers, and making reserves for motorized and mechanized troops in the future.
In this way, the 7,000 merit points are gone, and some diesel and gasoline have to be exchanged, but fortunately, gasoline and diesel are not expensive in these years, and you can also purchase them.
"Grandma, no, you can't wait for Lao Maozi to attack, but you should take the initiative to attack, otherwise the equipment of the cavalry regiment and the Xigang Army Division will be gone, but this coach is not easy to be."
