403: Nonsense
The international observation group had a simple breakfast at the Manzhouli station, and their treatment was much better than that of the front-line troops, although judging from the current war situation, Manchuria also belonged to the front. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the international observation group can still eat a hot breakfast, hot porridge, steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables, although there are not many varieties, but there is no limit, compared to the food in the past two days, this is already good.
The only unpleasant thing is that there are no knives, forks and spoons here, and foreigners can only use oriental characteristics and chopsticks awkwardly. But they didn't care too much about being able to eat a hot breakfast.
The international delegation then boarded the truck bound for Abaghitui, not directly to the front line, but to the first town where the war broke out yesterday.
There is not much difference between Russia and the Northeast, both are places with more people and less land, and the terrain is complicated, and the only difference may be that the population of Russia is smaller than that of the Northeast, and since they entered Russia, they have not seen a single Russian.
On the rickety truck, many people are a little nauseated, although the truck makes the traffic much more convenient, but for the observation group, this is not a very good choice, under the cold, sitting in the truck without a cloak, there is a cold wind everywhere, so that they have to tighten their clothes, the whole body is tightly shrunk into a ball, after a long time, the whole body will almost freeze, which also makes these international observation groups understand why the Chinese Empire will postpone the time of the war.
Now it's close to spring, but the temperature here is still low and scary, compared to Tianjin, it's simply winter, not to mention the war, even now, they have already regretted it, why are they in such a hurry to come?
Colonel Willip, as the leader of the observation group, naturally did not have to squeeze in the back of the car with those ordinary observation group members, Colonel Willippo had his own seat in the compartment of the truck, but he was the only member of the observation group in the entire carriage, and the rest were two drivers.
Of course, not all of these 30 or so trucks are responsible for these international observation groups, for example, in the back of the body, there is a small amount of material supplies, mainly food, supplemented by ammunition, which makes those members of the observation group who want to find a shelter from the wind can't find it, so they can only sit honestly on these materials.
"Although this is a terrible experience, I have to admit that with the trucks, the supplies needed by the troops will be delivered to them more quickly, and the tasks that originally required a company or even a battalion can now be done by only one platoon." Mike sat in the car body, wrapped his whole body tightly in the blanket, shivering from the cold.
"This damn Chinese Empire, how many trucks do they have? Why don't we have trucks? ”
"Yes, with the industrial capacity of the Chinese Empire, it is impossible to make such a thing as a truck, and in China, we have also asked some car manufacturers, and they do not have the ability to make trucks at present."
"Could it be that Ford helped them build it? I heard that Ford's factories in the Chinese Empire seem to have the shadow of the government, and their fees here are also the lowest in the world, especially in terms of labor, a month's salary is a day's salary in an American factory, and raw materials seem to be very cheap. ”
Listening to the chatter of the others, Mike then shook his head, "This is impossible, I just came back from the United States and visited the Ford factory, and they don't have a truck production line there at all." ”
"But if it weren't for the Ford factory to help them, how would the Chinese empire get these trucks? Self-developed? It seems that there is only one car factory in China, Ford, right? ”
The people in the car were all talking about trucks, but one thing was undeniable, they all saw how much trucks could help the war effort, one truck could carry enough to meet the needs of a battalion, and five trucks could meet the needs of a regiment.
How many people would it take to replenish a regiment without trucks? The answer is that at least one company of baggage soldiers can do it in many times longer than a truck.
And because the truck has a stable speed and autonomous power, even if the number of one-time supplies is not large, he can replenish it several times to meet the needs of the troops.
This is not like manual supply, each time you have to pull a week, or half a month of supply, otherwise, the materials will not be able to keep up with the use.
Inside the carriage, Willibo was thinking about the wreckage of the three tanks he had seen at the station earlier.
Willipo could clearly judge that the three iron guys were definitely not ordinary equipment, although they didn't look closely, but those strange-looking steel wheels proved that they had the ability to move autonomously, and what made Willibo wonder was why those wheels were designed to look like that? Instead of being designed like a truck or something?
And the barrel above indicates that this tank has a strong attack power, has a strong ability to maneuver, and is equipped with a cannon, if it is on the battlefield, he can completely change places with one shot, and the enemy will not be able to find his specific position at all.
And the steel body also indicates that he is not afraid of attack, at least, light weapons have no effect on him.
About three hours later, the convoy slowly drove into the small town of Abagaitui, where the traces of yesterday's battle were still there, half of the town was in ruins, many of them were directly blown down by artillery, and the remaining houses also left a lot of bullet holes, some irregular shapes, and very dense bullet holes.
The soldiers could tell at a glance which ones were left behind by rifles and which were left by machine guns.
Just looking at the bullet holes in those houses was enough to shock the members of the observation group, because they saw the traces of machine guns on most of the houses, could it be that the Chinese Empire was already equipped with a large number of machine guns?
But when I think about it, I am relieved, the Chinese Empire is equipped with a large number of trucks, and the supply capacity of the trucks is still very strong, even if a large number of machine guns are equipped, with the help of so many trucks, their supply is not a problem.
Besides, supplies can be transported directly to Manchuria by train, and from there they are loaded into the hands of the troops, and later the train can go directly to Russia, and the supply line will not increase much, and with this logistical help, the biggest problem of supply seems to be the problem of production capacity.
At dawn, the division headquarters of the 103rd Armored Division had already left the small town of Abagaitui, and they knew very well that the observation group would arrive here today, and Li Yunchang did not want to have too much interaction with these observation groups, so he moved forward with the division headquarters.
For these observation groups, Li Yunchang means that it is enough to let them follow him all the time, and if they go to the battlefield to see, the ghost knows if there will be any accidents?
Anyway, the places they went to were basically battlefields where war had just taken place, and when the time came, Li Yunchang could also explain that the speed of the observation group was too slow, and the troops couldn't stop and not attack in order to let the observation group see, right?
"Sir, Bao Yongjin, the commander of the first company of the third battalion of the third infantry regiment of the 301st armored brigade, is ordered to greet the commander!" After seeing the truck coming, a captain company commander immediately ran to the front and saluted Shao Tongyi.
"Where's your commander?" Shao Tongyi frowned and asked, didn't you say that you would come to the headquarters of the 103rd Division before? Why is there only one company left here? Didn't they even inform the logistics troops? The truck they were riding in was carrying supplies from the headquarters of the 103rd Division.
"Report to the commander, the speed of the troops' advance is too fast, and the division commander said that the division headquarters can't be too far away from the troops, so he moved forward with the division headquarters an hour ago." Bao Yongjin said.
"Advancing too fast? Where is it now? Shao Tongyi asked.
"I don't know the specifics, when the division commander received the battle report, the front line seemed to have advanced another ten kilometers, according to yesterday's progress, two hours ago, they should have been about fifty kilometers away from here."
"Nonsense!" Shao Tongyi was a little displeased and said, this Li Yunchang is simply too nonsense, and he doesn't think about the country's plan at all.
The international delegation will last only half a month, and after half a month, they will leave Russia and return to Tianjin, and then return to their respective countries.
What is the purpose of the Chinese Empire this time? It is to make the attention of these powers focus on tanks, so that they can spend a lot of effort to research, to manufacture, to train tank troops, so that they can also start a military competition in the army.
Although many people don't understand the purpose of this, the tank force is the trump card of the Chinese Empire, and it is also a hole card, so far, the Chinese Empire has been developing for five years, and it only has the scale of three armored divisions, and even before it can figure it out, it will leak this important information to the powers?
But who let this be an order from the emperor himself? They just didn't understand, and they did what the emperor wanted.
Of course, most people don't know that the armored forces of these three divisions are actually designed to confuse the great powers, once it is determined that the great powers are hooked, they will slowly begin to replace them with second-generation tanks, in front of the second-generation tanks, the Boar tank is not an opponent at all, and the tank based on the Boar tank is also not the opponent of the second-generation tank.
A more important point is that the Boar tank does not fire armor-piercing shells, and there are currently no armor-piercing shells in the world. Is the Sino-Russian war just a Sino-Russian war?
No, Wang Sirui will never allow the great powers to quietly profit behind his back, he wants to use this war to stir up the peace of the whole world, perhaps, the Sino-Russian war will be the fuse of the world war. (To be continued.) )
