As military factories have successively developed new fighters and various armored combat vehicles, the Eighth Route Army's demand for fuel is also getting better and better day by day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Even if the Soviet Union has restored the supply of oil, its price is still very expensive.

Although the Eighth Route Army had earlier taken over an oil field in northern Shaanxi, it was only a small oil field, and even if it was further excavated and exploited, the daily oil production would not be much. But even so, this small oil field also brought a lot of income to the Eighth Route Army.

In addition to being used to make oil refining materials, there are also many chemical raw materials derived from the oil extracted from the ground. Materials such as lubricants, paraffin, petroleum asphalt, and petroleum coke were all urgently needed by the Eighth Route Army.

Earlier, because the Air Force had not yet been officially installed, He Zhengdao did not want to develop the oil fields he knew about too early. Today, the Air Force has a certain combat effectiveness, and the Eighth Route Army has also gained a firm foothold in Northwest China and North China.

In view of the current increase in oil demand, He Zhengdao took advantage of the opportunity of reaching an agreement with the United States to purchase a large number of high-quality and efficient oilfield extraction equipment from the United States. In several oil fields excavated in northern Shaanxi in later generations, oil field exploration was carried out.

According to the information provided by the traverser, the team in charge of oil field exploration soon discovered that these underground areas were rich in oil resources. When the news came back to Yan'an, the Führer and all the leaders were very happy.

In the view of these leaders, as long as these oil fields are exploited one after another, it is believed that the situation of the Eighth Route Army's oil production being constrained by the Soviet Union will also be greatly improved. In addition, the money used to purchase fuel can be saved.

Even the excavated oil, in addition to refining it into oil, other derivatives can also be exchanged for a lot of income. All in all, this will be a big help to the government's finances.

In fact, the few oil fields currently provided by He Zhengdao actually do not have much underground oil reserves. He Zhengdao did not dare to move several large-scale oil fields excavated after the founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations, and felt that he had to take a temporary slowdown.

The Daqing Oilfield and Changqing Oilfield discovered by Huaxia in later generations are still in the territory of the black province controlled by the Kwantung Army. Although the Changqing Oilfield is distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, most of the main oilfield production areas are in Gansu and Ningxia.

These two places are still under the control of the Ma Jiajun and the Nationalist Army. If you want to exploit it, I believe that the safety and income of the oilfield cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, most of the oil fields provided by He Zhengdao are in Shaanxi.

Although the oil reserves of these oil fields are not large, it is believed that there is still no big problem in ensuring the oil supply of the Eighth Route Army for the time being. When the Eighth Route Army has a group of professional oil workers, it will be able to save a lot of trouble in the subsequent development of large-scale oil fields.

The most important thing is that even if the little devil knows that the Eighth Route Army has unearthed a new oil field. Seeing that these oil fields do not have many reserves, they will also feel that Huaxia is still the oil-poor country in their memory, which will not be too exciting to the little devils who are looking for oil all over the world.

After all, for today's Japanese bowls, oil is also a strategic material they focus on purchasing. Now, the U.S. has begun to reduce or even stop selling oil, making the Japanese side even more eager to get rid of this oil restriction.

At present, the Japanese army is beginning to prepare for Burma, and it is more to tap the rich oil and mineral resources of Burma. Even if the Japanese knew that Burma was a British colony, and Britain was once one of their borrowing countries.

Now, with the Germans at war with Britain and France, the Japanese felt that Britain was no longer able to take care of their colonies in Asia. If they can wrest Burma from the British, they may be able to get rid of this oil resource limitation.

Of course, another reason for the Japanese army to attack Burma was to cut off China's strategic transportation routes in the southwest. What can kill two birds with one stone, the Japanese army naturally feels that it is very cost-effective.

Regarding the Japanese army beginning to prepare for the attack on Southeast Asian countries, He Zhengdao also knew the precursor of the Japanese army's demise to madness. But he also knows that the current day bowl can't stop. As soon as the war of aggression is stopped, they will also collapse internally.

Therefore, if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy!

Even if the Eighth Route Army is rising rapidly in the north now, it can be seen by many Japanese troops. With only one Eighth Route Army, if you want to win this war, the chances of winning are still not big. But at the moment, the Japanese army also needed new colonies.

Factors such as financial shortages and limited resources forced the Japanese army to draw troops from China to participate in the war against other Southeast Asian countries. The more colonies they invaded, the more helpful it would be for the so-called 'East Asian jihad' of the Japanese bowl.

After holding a meeting with the responsible persons of the various branches of the military factories, He Zhengdao also took the time to talk to the responsible persons of these factories one by one. In addition to listening to their work reports this year, they also solved some problems encountered by these factories.

Generally speaking, after several years of development, the problem of workers, which had previously restricted the development of military factories, has been alleviated to a large extent. Technical schools in Yan'an, Xi'an, Yulin and other places have also trained a group of young workers.

Most of the workers who are eligible to enter the military factory for employment are also military dependents and children of poor people with clear backgrounds. This kind of work is cherished by these young people. And these people will also carry the development of China's military industry in the future.

In addition, a group of overseas study elites who have returned from overseas, as well as overseas Chinese technicians with work experience abroad, have also successively taken up the position of factory leaders and technicians. Their presence has also improved the technology and experience reserves of military factories.

After staying at the General Military Industrial Plant for three days, he learned that the officers and soldiers of the armored brigade had arrived, and He Zhengdao took the guard troops. Once again, I went to the place where the automobile factory is located, ready to experience for myself the new tanks and armored vehicles that will be installed in the army.

Looking at Wang Hao, the armored brigade commander who was ordered to arrive, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Wang Hao, aren't you very excited?" This time I recalled you from the front line, and I also hope that you, the big brigade commander, will also feel the power of the new tank for yourself.

In the future, these tanks will also equip your brigade. In the planning of this year's meeting, the Führer and the Commander-in-Chief also decided to expand the armored brigade into an armored division. I won't give you much time. Therefore, the run-in of the troops should also be tightened! ”

'Thank you, Commander! Although I heard from the fighters in the trial earlier, our new tank is very tough. But I haven't had a chance to feel it, and it's really itchy in my heart. I'm going to have a good feel for it this time.

As long as there is a sufficient number of tanks, I guarantee that within half a year the combat effectiveness will be formed. The tank drivers I brought with me this time are the best drivers in the brigade in terms of skill and experience. When the tanks are mounted on the troops, they can also act as instructors. ’

Listening to the report of the brigade commander Wang Hao, He Zhengdao also nodded and said, "Not bad!" Earlier, I and the automobile factory have given you the task of producing 100 new tanks before the beginning of spring.

When the time comes, you will send a main regiment from the brigade and train at the training ground of your armored brigade. Wait until the combat strength is formed, and then transfer it back to the front line and exchange other units back.

In this way, we can not only ensure that your brigade has a certain combat effectiveness on the front line, but also ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops will not be affected under the change of equipment. On top of that, you're going to have to be ready to recruit new recruits next year, you know? ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

The armored brigade has been expanded into an armored division, which also means that Wang Hao, the brigade commander, will also be promoted to division commander. For this kind of promotion, how can Wang Hao not be happy? It's just that he also knows that if he wants to be the commander of this division, he must also use his achievements to repay!

When the group arrived at the experimental shooting range of the automobile factory and looked at the four new tanks parked at the shooting range, Wang Hao and the selected tank drivers were mostly a little surprised. I think this tank looks so heavy!

After the introduction of the technicians, looking at the barrel on the tank, Wang Hao was also surprised and said: "Commander, the caliber of this tank is nearly twice as large as the caliber of the little devil's tank!" ”

The larger the caliber of the tank gun, the greater the power of the tank. It's just that for He Zhengdao, he is actually not very satisfied with the tank guns equipped with these four tanks, and feels that there is still a gap with the 59 type.

I JUST THINK OF THE CURRENT MAIN BATTLE TANKS OF THE LITTLE DEVILS, MOST OF THEM ARE ONLY EQUIPPED WITH 37MM TANK GUNS. TODAY'S MAIN BATTLE TANK, THE CALIBER OF 85MM IS UNDOUBTEDLY TOO MUCH. As long as the shell hits the little devil tank, the tank that wants to come to the little devil will lie down.

For the surprise of the tank soldiers, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "The caliber of the artillery equipped with our tank is indeed less than twice as large as the current main battle tank of the little devil. But in terms of the rate of fire, there is still a certain gap.

Of course, the weapon system and speed of our tanks are even more important than the main battle tanks of the little devils. What the specific effect is, you still have to experience it for yourself. I think you're all familiar with the little devil's tank, right? ”

Since the formation of the armored brigade, the tanks and armored vehicles equipped with them have been captured from the hands of little devils. It can be said that for the performance of the little devil tank, these experienced drivers are undoubtedly very familiar with it.

Watching He Zhengdao get into the tank with full interest, he was ready to experience the taste of driving a tank for himself. Brigade commander Wang Hao also followed He Zhengdao and got into a new tank. After entering, I felt that this space was much larger than that of the little devils.

Compared with the main battle tank of the little devil, most of the interior has a crew of three. This new tank has a crew of four. If the interior space is not large, how can four people be seated?

He Zhengdao, who entered the inside of the tank, explained to everyone the operation and weapon system of the tank. After some explanation, Wang Hao and the other two tank soldiers felt that the tank was much more comfortable to sit on.

'Wang Hao, you are the commander, responsible for operating the machine gun and observation, and I am responsible for the artillery and command. Comrade Xiao Liu was responsible for driving, and Comrade Xiao Du was fortunate enough to be a loader for me. May I? ’

'Yes, Commander! ’

The two tank crews, who originally thought that He Zhengdao would personally drive the tank, were undoubtedly very excited to learn that He Zhengdao had entrusted the work of driving the tank to one of them.

After all, being able to drive this kind of domineering-looking tank with his own hands is also the happiest thing for each of their tank soldiers. Having the opportunity to drive a tank with He Zhengdao is the proudest thing in the lives of these two tank soldiers!
