Chapter Seventy-One: Technical Arms

It took a long time for Li Guang to realize that he didn't see a single person in the team. The original guard, Qin Zhan, disappeared nowhere. The kid threw aside the recruits and sonar he had brought back, and ran to the dock site to see a few bulldozers.

After Li Guang had almost settled everyone one by one, Qin Zhan ran over.

Qin Zhan's face was full of excitement, and he pointed to the bulldozer and said, "Tank, tank." Loaded with cannons, it is. ”

It was a site of eight tanks produced in Uruguay, not armoured, but with a large shovel that was used as a bulldozer.

These eight tanks are on turf, almost four batches, and the upgrades between batches have changed a lot. Without experimentation, you never know what problems you're going to encounter. Under the guidance of Iwaki Shunji's experience and Li Guang's forward-looking vision, the tank has taken countless detours. But until now, the chassis has not completely passed. As for the diesel engine, it is even more immature.

The failure rate of the eight bulldozers that have just been produced is very large, and only three or four can be produced every day. Almost every time a merchant ship travels to or from Uruguay, it has to take a tractor back to repair and improve.

If you think about it, a large enterprise group in a country has already developed the Type 97 tank in 37 years, but it was not until 39 that it began to really equip its troops on a large scale. It is known that this weapon is definitely not easy to produce and mature.

Qin Zhan's excitement and eagerness were justified, when recruiting sonar soldiers in the Fifth War Zone, he joined Xu Zhan's troops and fought a few battles with devils on the battlefield.

In the fiercest battle, the army dispatched tanks and heavy artillery, and Xu Zhan's troops suffered heavy losses. In just half a year of fighting, exactly half of the 36 veterans supported by Li Guang suffered casualties, which shows the cruelty of the battle. In the fiercest battle, Xu Zhan's troops killed more than 30 people and wounded nearly 100 in order to kill a tank of the Yue Army, including three veterans of the Naval Resistance Army killed and six wounded. In that battle, if Qin Zhan hadn't been pressed under him by a veteran in time, he would probably have been blown to pieces by the devil's tank gun. And the veterans were killed as a result.

Qin Zhan begged Li Guang to be a tank soldier, even if he drove a bulldozer now. At first, Li Guang was only enthusiastic as a child for three minutes, and Qin Zhan no longer mentioned the matter of being the deputy torpedo chief.

However, Qin Zhan, who has gone through a bloody battle, is obviously different from before, with more perseverance and maturity in his eyes. As long as everyone has experienced the battlefield of blood and fire, struggling between life and death, they will mature quickly.

Qin Zhan's words also reminded Li Guang that first, he could not wait for the tank to mature before training the tank crew, and the second cannon should be feasible to install on the tank turf.

Li Guang once remembered that in World War II, both Germany and the Soviet Union mounted large-caliber guns on tank chassis and used them as tank destroyers, assault guns, and self-propelled guns. It is said that this self-propelled gun was called a poor man's tank. Combat and protection are certainly inferior to full-fledged tanks, but if you want to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, this is a good choice.

At present, there are not many marines in the Navy, only four German-made 75mm infantry guns and six Soviet-made 122 howitzers. Four 75mm infantry guns are obviously not suitable for loading on tanks, infantry training and combat are indispensable, especially in mountain combat, this kind of infantry gun with a total weight of more than 500 kg is very convenient.

Six Soviet-made 122mm howitzers, Li Guang was worried that the recoil was too great. However, it is possible to experiment at the right time.

Li Guang immediately made a decision, and Qin Zhan was promoted to lieutenant company commander, responsible for the construction and training of eight tractors. The recruits Qin Zhan brought back this time were all teenagers between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. It's very close to the second lieutenant's age.

These recruits are very far from real soldiers and have not experienced much military training. There were quite a few soldiers in it, and there were fathers and brothers who served as soldiers in Xu Zhan's troops. It was only in World War II that Americans paid attention not to arranging brothers in the same unit or on a warship, while the Chinese army in this era had fathers and sons, and brothers and sisters abounded.

Xu Zhan was reluctant to send these teenagers to the battlefield, and he couldn't afford these children, so he sent all the soldiers under the age of eighteen in the army to Shixiang Island.

These teenagers are all peasant children in the mountainous area of Tongbai Mountain, Dabie Mountain, and they are all good at crossing mountains and mountains, but their cultural quality is extremely low, and there are very few literate people, and it is not easy to drive a tank and repair a tank. If he can have combat effectiveness in two years, Li Guang will be very satisfied.

In order to enable the smooth growth of this future armored force, Li Guang also specially allocated two second lieutenant deputy company commanders. In fact, both of these are technicians, not combatants. And Yuan Ran's younger brother Yuan Chen also joined this embryonic armored force.

Within a few days, this one hundred and twenty junior armored unit was formed. Li Guang had very strict requirements for Qin Zhan this time, and if he asked to be a soldier again, he would be fired immediately. Li Guang didn't know if this was a random appointment of cronies.

Li Guang is actually short of people, otherwise he would not have pushed an eighteen-year-old boy to the position of the chief officer of an important branch of the military. However, looking all over the army, Qin Zhan is really more suitable, he has sufficient basic combat training, has been on the battlefield, and is literate, so it is not impossible to say that the conditions are better.

With Qin Zhan's return sonar soldiers, there was no doubt that they were pulled by Ji Keliang to train. Ji Kelian's training has now developed a relatively mature model. In three days, Ji Kelian screened half of the number of people again. Only twenty passed, and after a month of basic military training, they will be transferred to normal subject training.

The sonar soldiers recruited this time are obviously much higher-quality, after all, Xue Dingyi has already screened them once. Li Guang screened so many people in Guangxi, but in the end only six were accepted by Ji Keliang, and only four of these six have been qualified so far, and they have already served as sonarists on warships.

This time, Ji Keliang said that ninety percent of these twenty can be qualified. Li Guangxi, you must know that the three combat ships of the Maritime Resistance Force currently have only seven qualified sonars, including the captain Ji Keliang. Not even a replacement could be found.

If these twenty people can pass the ten**, then even the Pixiu No. 2 and Jairus and Baxia No. 2 under construction have sonar soldiers. And there is also a spare, which is one of more than a dozen classes that has been completely solved.

After several battles, Li Guang found that sonar soldiers were indeed too important on submarines, and they had almost become the shadow of submarines and the guarantee of the safety of warships.

The other 20 professional recruits are mainly mathematics students, and they are also trained by Ji Keliang. Ji Kelian is also very good at planning for his own submarines, and the trained torpedo men and navigators must give priority to supplementing his team. (The captain was in charge of navigating the submarine, and using a sextant and a magnetic compass required considerable mathematical knowledge.) )

At present, the personnel on the two Pixiu are not very sufficient for the time being, and Ren Tianyang will not come back if he does not stay for two or three months without staying at sea once he goes to sea with supply ships. Ji Keliang not only had to participate in the construction of Pixiu 2, but also went all out to start training personnel for his own submarines.

Competition is everywhere, it used to be one submarine, and soon there will be two submarines, and the competition between the two captains has begun secretly.

The Air Force once again has one more talent this time--- Yuan Ran's third brother Yuan Yin. Yuan Yin was already a second lieutenant pilot in the Chinese Air Force, but now there is an urgent shortage of fighters in the Chinese Army, and there is no combat opportunity at all. This time, I heard Professor Yuan say that Li Guang has purchased 12 P40 fighters, which will arrive by the end of the year. Without hesitation, he made a report to quit the Chinese army, and then came to Stone Statue Island with the ship.

So Yuan Yin was appointed by Li Guang as the second lieutenant squad leader of the Air Force, and Liu Guobang, who is now in charge of transport aircraft, managed the training of pilots.

Li Guang had seen many scenes of pilot training in movies and television, selected all the recruits on the island, and allocated 60 air force recruits to Yuan Yin.

When Li Guang graduated from high school, he took the recruitment exam, but was rejected because of a scar on his body. But I memorized several items of the exam very clearly. For the time being, Li Guang has no way to consider the level of education, but the reaction speed, blood pressure, eyesight, fear of heights, hearing, and even sleep quality, family genetic history and other test items have all been tested. This method of selecting pilots surprised Yuan Yin and Liu Guobang, two real pilots. You must know that in addition to cultural quality, the physical fitness of the Chinese army and even the US military recruits pilots only by visual inspection.

In contrast, Li Guang's recruitment method is much more scientific.

As for the training methods, several items given by Li Guang surprised Yuan Yin and Liu Guobang and thought they were very reasonable. In fact, it is just a few air forces on TV that they see holding planes, or wearing planes on the undulating hillsides to simulate formation flight and fight. Or spinning wheels, swinging and other projects, it is really commonplace.

The Air Force also has these projects, but so far there is no concept of long wingman in the Air Force training of the Chinese Army, nor is there the concept of multi-layer formation in space. Most of the air battles are still melees, the combat skills are very lacking, and the tactics are not talked about. Although Li Guang did not know exactly how to train, he still had no problem putting forward a concept.

These concepts were the result of the bloody battle in World War II, and Li Guang did not realize the great significance of this revolutionary change for the Air Force at this time.

In training programs, such as spinning a big wheel, the Chinese army also has it, but it is just to make a turntable on the ground, and people will spin around on it for a while, and then come down and walk in a straight line. Li Guang's training, on the other hand, is a set wheel, on which people support the rim of the wheel with their limbs, and there are manpower rotating next to them. It seems to be the same principle, but the effect is completely different.

Now there are no fighters, but there are transport aircraft, and parachute training is also added to the training subjects. Li Guang didn't know how many of these 60 people could really become pilots, but as long as they could parachute, they would not be wasted in the future, and maybe they would be able to become airborne troops. And the transport aircraft, when used as a bomber, is also a good candidate to act as a bombardier.

So far, three transport aircraft have been adjusted, and one is responsible for flying between the United States and Uruguay. Both are training on the island of the statue. At the same time, Li Guang organized several electrical professionals to begin the development of remote-controlled aerial bombs -- dexterous bombs.

Mrs. Mao was extremely dissatisfied with Li Guang's appointment of Yuan Yin as the captain of the air force squadron. Su Qing is just a captain, why is Yuan Yin a second lieutenant when he first came. She didn't express any dissatisfaction with Yuan Chen, who drove a tractor on the construction site. However, after Li Guang sacrificed the small killer of sulfur soap, Mrs. Mao directly said: "It's better to be a son-in-law." ”

Proudly despised a certain Xinzha Air Force squad leader. This prospective mother-in-law is too strong, Li Guang said Alexander.
