Chapter 230: If you need to, just mention it!
Despite being the first time driving a new tank, for these excellent tank drivers. After driving www.biquge.info for the first time, they found that the tank's vision and speed were wider and faster than they had imagined.
After driving for a while, some drivers couldn't help but say, "This is called a tank!" β
Compared with many modified little devils, they may be due to the difference in body size and height between the two countries. Many tank crews sat in it, feeling a little crowded. But this new tank, even if it takes one more person to come in, it looks much more relaxed.
Seeing the excitement of these tank drivers, He Zhengdao ordered: "The speed can be a little faster, and let's test the climbing performance first." This tank is much faster than the tanks you've ever piloted before. β
With He Zhengdao's order, the tank driver also increased the throttle. With the roar and vibration of the engine, the tank was a little faster in the snow. The rest of the test tanks also sped up.
'Cool! β
After some tank soldiers couldn't help but shout these words, they still firmly controlled the direction of the tank's advance. When the tank arrived at the trench test area, the tankmen also began to reduce their speed and watched the tank smoothly pass over the trench area.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hao couldn't help but say: "Commander, such a trench, if you replace it with the tanks we are equipped with, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up at all." This tank, add a foot of throttle and go up! β
'The tonnage of our tank is several times heavier than the tank you are driving now. It can be said that if two tanks meet on the battlefield, they will not be able to hit each other. By ramming alone, our tanks can knock the imp tanks into the air. β
For He Zhengdao, who designed this tank, this tank, which is similar in appearance to the 59 Type in later generations, is not used to deal with little devils at all. To some extent, this tank was intended to be used in the future against Soviet armored forces.
If you really want to march into Siberia or Outer Mongolia in the future, armored forces are indispensable. And the Soviet Far Eastern Army, which is currently equipped with the same number of armored forces. For this reason, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army should be on par with the Soviet army.
As for some petty little devils, they don't pay attention to tanks at all. In the eyes of many army generals of the little devils, in a region like East Asia, there is no need for tanks with too heavy tonnage to deal with the troops of various countries.
After trying the trench and climbing performance of the tank, He Zhengdao looked at the tank that had entered the target area, and said with some eagerness: "Notify the other three tanks to prepare experimental tank guns." Remember what the previous technician said about the essentials of aiming, understand? β
'Yes, Commander! Please note that this is the No. 1 command vehicle, so please prepare for target shooting. Each looks for a target and is ready to fire at any time. β
Wang Hao, as the commander of the No. 1 car, relayed He Zhengdao's order with the order of the chief commander. Compared with the little devil's tank sighting system, the fire control system of this tank is undoubtedly much more advanced.
Accompanied by He Zhengdao, he said calmly: "Reload!" β
One of the tankers who stayed next to him also quickly put a shell into the bolt. He Zhengdao, who was in charge of aiming, heard the loader report that the reload was complete, and immediately activated the fire button.
I felt the tank flutter back slightly, and a shell flew away. A target almost a kilometer away quickly exploded. Seeing this scene, Wang Hao also said excitedly: "One hit!" β
The gunners of the other three experimental tanks did not have the shooting strength of the right way. Among the three tanks, only one hit the target, and the remaining two shells were deviant, which made Wang Hao somewhat dissatisfied.
On the contrary, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Okay, the soldiers are all trying their hands for the first time, and they can't be too demanding." After going down, you should strengthen your theoretical knowledge of the aiming and fire control system technology of this tank.
I'm asking you the same thing as before, trying to make sure you hit as many shots as possible. As a commander, you should know that if you miss, it is likely to lead to a counterattack by the opponent. For this reason, it is important to ensure that the chances of success in the starting shot are made. β
'Yes, Commander! I know! β
Next, He Zhengdao was rarely interested, and fired three shells in succession. Seeing that every shell hit the target, Wang Hao and the rest of the tank soldiers felt very admired.
Speaking of which, with the promotion of He Zhengdao's position, many officers and soldiers who joined later did not know He Zhengdao's combat capability. But Wang Hao, these old subordinates, know very well how strong He Zhengdao is.
At the beginning of the formation of the armored brigade, Wang Hao, the brigade commander, was taught by He Zhengdao. Even if He Zhengdao has begun to take leadership positions over the years, and he is no longer fighting side by side with them as before, it does not mean that He Zhengdao's ability has declined.
Now seeing that He Zhengdao hit the target with all four shots, some technicians at the shooting range are also very admired. After all, they knew very well that He Zhengdao, like other tank soldiers, was operating this new tank for the first time!
When he came to the humanoid target area, He Zhengdao also smiled and said, "Wang Hao, it's your turn!" Try the machine guns of our tanks and see if you can get your time. The three machine guns on the tank are enough for you to move forward without infantry cover. β
'Yes, Commander! Then I'll give it a try! β
On this new tank, He Zhengdao, like the Type 59 tank of later generations, was equipped with three machine guns. One 12.7 anti-aircraft machine gun and two 7.62 machine guns. This firepower can also be said to be armed to the teeth.
Even when armored forces form clusters, these tanks will have a certain ability for air defense self-defense. When they came down in a lap, every tanker felt that this tank was the vehicle they should be equipped with!
After getting out of the tank and receiving some compliments from everyone, He Zhengdao also nodded and said, "Not bad!" I just experienced the tank, and all the performance has met the design requirements.
It's just that in the future, our tanks will also need to have the ability to fight at night. As a result, this tank can only be used as a beginner version. If there is a technological breakthrough in the follow-up night vision devices, you must remember to reequip all tanks. β
'Yes, Commander! Rest assured, we will keep your explanation in mind! β
Some of the things that he thought could be improved, He Zhengdao explained to the technicians. Looking at Wang Hao and a group of tank soldiers with excited faces, He Zhengdao also warned them to cherish this tank.
In accordance with the requirements of the headquarters, in the future an armored division was to be formed. For today's Eighth Route Army, it is also a huge expense. Not to mention anything else, the steel consumed by a tank alone is no less than that of a fighter!
The first batch of 100 new tanks will have to work overtime at the steel plant to produce steel. Not to mention, the tank is not enough with steel, it needs to be built by workers in the car factory.
Even if the supply of raw materials is in-house, a tank is just as expensive. For this reason, He Zhengdao also asked them to familiarize themselves with the daily maintenance procedures of the tank in the next trial training in the explanation with Wang Hao and others.
After all, He Zhengdao hopes that this tank, even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, can become the main battle tank of the Wehrmacht. As for the next tank with more advanced performance, He Zhengdao felt that it could be slowed down for the time being.
As long as the performance and power of the Type 59 tank are fully exerted, He Zhengdao believes that in the future, this tank, even against the Soviet T-type tank, will not be inferior in the slightest.
What's more, if the Soviet Union had more advanced tanks, He Zhengdao still had a lot of drawings and data of tanks with better performance in his mind! Now that this tank serves as a faΓ§ade, He Zhengdao feels that it is completely sufficient.
After testing the new tank, He Zhengdao met with the technicians and workers of the automobile factory. All the workers were very happy about the personal inspection of Commander He Zhengdao.
As the workers who are responsible for Ho Righteous Path, these same young workers have heard about Ho Righteous Path's heroic deeds. It can be said that the military factory was built from scratch, and this young commander has made great contributions!
After inspecting the automobile factory, He Zhengdao also inevitably brought his sabers and members of the special division with him, so that they could feel the power of the new assault vehicle. After the experience, everyone seemed very looking forward to and satisfied.
In He Zhengdao's plan and assumption, the special division equipped with assault vehicles in the future will truly become an elite rapid response division. After the large transport plane is available, He Zhengdao will also consider training an airborne troops.
Today, this stereotyped assault vehicle focuses on penetration capabilities. In the future, even this assault vehicle can be used for airborne delivery. With assault vehicles in hand, the combat units behind enemy lines will also have the ability to switch to combat and penetrate defenses more quickly.
In the production plan for the automobile factory, He Zhengdao did not put too much emphasis on the installation time of the assault vehicle. According to the current needs of the troops, he hoped that the automobile plant would first focus on the production of tanks, and then the production of assault fighting vehicles.
After finishing the inspection, He Zhengdao went to inspect the heavily guarded underground experimental factory. After a few more days of discussion with the experts in these labs. Looking at the telegram sent by Chen Yun, he knew that he was leaving.
'Experts, thank you for your continued support for our national defense industry. On the eve of the New Year, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Party and the Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, I wish you in advance good health and smooth work in the new year.
If you have any needs here, please feel free to ask the administrator. The right way is still the same sentence, as long as we can meet the needs, we will strive to meet the needs of all experts, and please work here with peace of mind to do research! β
In order to ensure that the technology experimented in each scientific laboratory is not leaked, He Zhengdao also has very good safety protection measures for these experts. But from another point of view, it also smells of captivity.
Fortunately, these experts know that the world is not peaceful today. If they go out, no one knows what will happen. If they are really kidnapped by the enemy, I am afraid that few people can ensure that they do not leak secrets.
Now I stay in the basement research room to eat and wear, and I can go out to reunite with my family. In their opinion, in addition to the monotony of life here, compared to many people outside who are still in the occupied areas, they are already very happy!
