444:Messenger with a habit of cleanliness
The modification of the bomb supply system inside the tank delayed for a day, but in the eyes of everyone, this day is worth wasting, although they have to spend more effort than before, but at least the failure rate of the ammunition supply system is almost non-existent, on the battlefield, it is often not how advanced your equipment is that determines your life and death, but whether it can be used all the time? And there will be no glitches. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just like the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II, the Russians' tank manufacturing was very rough, and the performance was completely behind the German army, but because of the rough manufacturing, it brought them unexpected results, that is, the failure rate was extremely low, and it could still be used normally in an extremely vicious environment.
The same is true of the Vietnam War, when American GIs abandoned the M16 automatic rifle, which they regarded as an artifact, and many people would compete for an AK or a Chinese-made rifle.
The two cases prove one thing, whether the environment and equipment are adaptable is the real factor that determines victory or defeat, rather than blindly relying on advanced equipment.
More than a dozen technicians led a large number of maintenance department personnel to inspect the 28 tanks one by one, because the weight of the No. 2 tank was far more than twice that of the boar tank, so the tank transporter was now unusable, and the 28 tanks could only rely on their own strength to rush to the new battlefield.
The good news is that within a week, the front-line troops had taken Irkutsk, the First Army and the Second Army had successfully joined forces, and the supplies hoarded in Chita were being transported to the front by rail, although there were quite a few guerrillas nearby, forcing the Western Front Army to set up road guards to protect the railway from destruction.
However, the railway was still sabotaged by the Russian partisans from time to time, but as the war progressed, the Russian partisans became more and more scarce in materials, especially war materials.
The troops patrolling the railroad were constantly monitoring 24 hours a day, so up to now, the Russian partisans had basically stopped appearing along the railway, because there was no need at all, and only one group of five people at a time would succeed in one group, or even one group would not succeed, and if this continued, they would be exterminated in less than a month.
What's more, serious differences have also begun to appear within these Russian troops, and some people even quietly left the guerrillas at night, they no longer want to fight, they just want to live a good life like ordinary people.
War will never become a one-man show for one side, but as the gap in strength between the two sides grows wider, the situation on the battlefield will change dramatically.
The 300,000 Russian troops deployed in the Far East in the early stage of Russia basically no longer exist, and the Royal Army annihilated more than 100,000 Russian troops in the eastern and western battlefields, captured more than 100,000 more, and about 30,000 escaped, while less than 10,000 spontaneously formed guerrilla forces to continue to resist, and the remaining almost 20,000 people quietly fled here.
Most of their families are in the west, and these fleeing Russian troops have almost no choice but to flee to the north, and then try to make Russia mistakenly think that they are dead, as long as they don't show up again, their families will be relatively safer.
But in any case, these were only internal affairs of the Russians themselves, and the war still had to continue, and the No. 2 tank was only postponed for a day, and then continued to push to the front line according to the previous plan.
After the final checks, the twenty-eight tanks will board the train once again and head to their next stop, Tulum.
At present, the train can only go to Tulum, although there are also troops of the Second Army, but it is not safe there at present, and there is no guarantee of the smooth flow of the railway, once the railway is cut off, then the whole train will be forced to stop there, and at this time, if it is attacked by the Russian army, it will be even more dangerous, maybe the railway will fall into a stoppage for several months.
Therefore, without the necessary certainty, the train generally does not rush forward.
"Zhu Kuan, this is your machine gunner and communications soldier Chen Zhichao." A captain led a senior soldier to the tank numbered 3 and said to Zhu Kuan, who was inspecting the tank.
Zhu Kuan raised his head and looked at the personnel assigned to his own car crew as a first-class soldier, this is a rank that can only be obtained in the third year of enlistment, and it is basically guaranteed that he has absolutely completed all military training, but after all, he is a communication soldier, and he used to be in charge of the battle position that Zhu Kuan was personally responsible for, and now he is somewhat suspicious.
"Have you ever been on the battlefield?" Zhu Kuan asked.
Chen Zhichao shook his head, he had shot before, but that was in the training camp. After arriving at the front line, he has been playing the role of a communications soldier, and he is also a brigade headquarters communications soldier, when have you ever seen brigade headquarters personnel go to the battlefield?
After waiting for a long time, he didn't see any response from the other party, Zhu Kuan looked up at Chen Zhichao and found that the other party was shaking his head, obviously, this was a few shy guys, and he didn't even dare to speak.
"Do you think it's appropriate to send me someone who hasn't been to the battlefield?" Zhu Kuan turned his head to look at the captain, and his tone was not very kind.
"No one has ever been on the battlefield in the first place, and you are no different, aren't you? There is nothing wrong with believing that the assignment of the superior, and his professional skills will make you feel trustworthy and make you appreciate the assignment from the superior. By the way, as a final reminder, it was the Commander-in-Chief who personally appointed him to join your crew. The captain reprimanded him angrily, and immediately left the person out of here, no one likes to stick someone else's cold ass with a hot face, even if the other party is the best tank commander in the entire armored division.
And Zhu Kuan's military salary is just a sergeant, and the sergeant dares to talk to the captain like this, if this is placed in other troops, I am afraid that the military regulations will be smashed long ago.
"Boy, you'd better put your mind right, this is not your brigade headquarters, if my crew is threatened in any way because of you, I promise you, you will definitely regret coming into this world." Zhu Kuan walked in front of Chen Zhichao, stretched out an oily finger, and pointed directly at Chen Zhichao's chest, and a small piece of oil stain appeared in an instant on the white and neat military uniform.
"Sir, I understand your feelings, and I know very well that what you need is a capable communications soldier, and I am not the most suitable person in this regard, but since my superiors have assigned me to join your crew, please put away your arrogant attitude, besides, I don't like it when someone soils my uniform, even if you are my commander." Chen Zhichao stood up and saluted, and said righteously, although he didn't wait until Zhu Kuan's oily fingers rubbed against him, but he used stern words to warn Zhu Kuan's impolite behavior.
It's just that what Chen Zhichao didn't expect was that Zhu Kuan was not angry, but he smiled even more, a pair of hands full of oil stains were directly placed on Chen Zhichao's face and rubbed it fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, the originally white and tender face instantly became the face of a mechanic.
"Don't let me hear your dissatisfaction again, I am your commander, and in front of me, you only have the right to be obedient, and not to question." Zhu Kuan said as he wiped his hands on Chen Zhichao's clothes, and he didn't care about sending such a temperamental guy to himself, but this guy was obviously a bit clean, and this problem was serious.
Tank soldiers have a habit of cleanliness, how can this battle be fought? If you let him stay in the tank for a few days and nights, this guy won't be uncomfortable to death? Therefore, Zhu Kuan's first decision was to completely destroy this guy's cleanliness and make him look like everyone else.
"Shanzi, take him to familiarize himself with his mission." Zhu Kuan turned to leave and instructed An Shan, who was inspecting the tracks and load-bearing wheels.
"Sir, I have been systematically trained before I came, and I know what my next task will be." Chen Zhichao didn't think about it so much, the army was about to depart, and his task should be to integrate into the crew as soon as possible, instead of wasting time on what he had already learned.
In one, for this ace team of the 103rd Armored Division, Chen Zhichao dislikes it very much from the bottom of his heart, he hates Zhu Kuan's blind arrogance and all-nothing style.
"Boy, you'd better do what I say before I get angry, or I don't mind driving you away." Zhu Kuan stopped, turned his head and said with a sneer.
Chen Zhichao was speechless, but he was also very helpless, he really couldn't understand, why did the above designate him to enter the front-line combat unit? He is just a telegraph soldier, and Chen Zhichao is also a cultural person, an intellectual young man with ideals, and serving the country and joining the army is his ideal and his wish.
It's not that he didn't want to go into battle to kill the enemy, but in the end he found that he was really not up to this task, but fortunately he quickly found his own specialty in the telegraph soldiers, with his knowledge reserves, coupled with rapid reaction ability, now he is the absolute top three in the telegraph soldiers, the average time to receive and send a telegram, is faster than others by one-third, of course, the main time is to save in the translation of telegrams, there is a fixed frequency of sending and receiving telegrams, this no one can change.
As for his new position, Chen Zhichao really can't think of anything else to know? It's so simple that anyone who understands telegraphy can do it, find the enemy, and then report to the commander, and then operate the coaxial machine gun to shoot after getting the order, and then send and receive the telegram according to the commander's order, it's as simple as that, the driving and command of the tank, the loading and firing of shells, that's someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with him.
It can be said that Chen Zhichao's position is the least important one in the entire car group, and he used to be the commander of the car, does this still need to be learned? (To be continued.) )
