Chapter 491: When will the new tank come?
readx; Jinxi, a quiet neighborhood, is very different from the other surrounding business districts, and the other neighborhoods, if not as commercial districts, are full of shops and the crowds are still unabated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After several years of steady development, not only a number of factories have been opened in the surrounding areas of Jinxi, there are civilian, but also political axes to open enterprises, and so many enterprises have brought huge jobs to the local area, local people naturally have local things, even if a few people can be drawn out to participate in these work, but for thousands of large and small enterprises, it is still not enough.
It is precisely for this reason that Jinxi, a small city that was not well known, has surpassed Jinzhou in just a few years, not only those rich businessmen have come to Jinxi to buy land and open factories, even people with average family background, who are about to live will come to Jinxi to find a job to support their families.
Today's population of Jinxi has already exceeded one million, perhaps compared with those big cities, this population is really a little chilling, but please don't forget that Jinxi at the beginning, that is, the size of a county seat, although it has been more than doubled, but at this time the city still seems a little crowded.
The only thing that seems out of place with the city is only three streets, one area, which is the General Headquarters of the Northern Army Group of the Chinese Empire, that is, the military headquarters of the 99th Army and the Expeditionary Force Headquarters in the earliest period.
The headquarters is located in the westernmost part of Jinxi, and if the original development framework is followed, then the current headquarters should be located in the center of the city, but the military institutions are located in the center of the city, which is a bit unrealistic, and it is not conducive to security work.
However, this area is the place where the Chinese Empire started, and no one will agree to move the headquarters out of here, so the Jinxi side can only make changes in the urban development framework, and the original framework is based on the existing framework, and at the same time spread to the surrounding areas to be based on the existing framework, the urban area is expanded to the east, the industrial area is distributed in the north and south of Jinxi City, and the west is used as the military control area of the North Army Group, and the Jinxi political axe does not participate in the planning and design.
The only difference from the previous one was that a circle of barracks was built in addition to the original building structure, and then a ring of walls was built, and the headquarters that was originally connected to the city was separated.
Immediately after that, a piece of information transmitted from the front line was finally transmitted here after several relays, although it has been forwarded several times, but from the first time the information was sent to the present, it has only been more than 20 minutes, which has far surpassed other countries in the same number of forwards and processing speed.
However, after getting the information, Liu Ling was suddenly taken aback, the incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to deal with it, and the attack plan that had been formulated had to be temporarily postponed for a few days or even weeks with the discovery of this information.
The appearance of tanks in the Soviet army that is suspected of being able to compete with the armored forces of Army Group North is undoubtedly huge bad news for Army Group North.
As we all know, no matter which country or army in the world, in fact, when it fights a war, it is the three-plate axe, and after the three-plate axe is used up, if the war has not been won, then the rest of the words can only be piled up by human life.
And what is the three-plate axe that can be used now on the side of the Chinese Empire? The first is the armored forces, which played an important role in the rapid encirclement and division of the ground and the annihilation of the enemy's main forces.
The second is the Air Force, the Air Force's current equipment is already at the top of the world, especially after the equipment of the Jian-1 fighter, the Soviet Air Force has basically been lying on its stomach, and it does not dare to come out to fight, and at this time the pilot's personal technology has been thrown aside, and the surname of the fighter has already made up for it, and even surpassed the lack of technology.
If an experienced veteran pilot flies the Jian-1 fighter to fight, he can basically face the siege of three Soviet fighters at the same time, and can kill them within half an hour, as for escape, as long as they are willing, it can be said that no one can stop them.
The third is the Army, which is equipped with the most advanced individual weapons in the world, although its power is somewhat insufficient compared to the other two, but this is the most important link, and no one can erase the troops.
And Liu Ling's three-plate axe is that the air force bombs the tank after bombing, and the tank bombs the infantry after the infantry, of course, the infantry will also use heavy artillery and other equipment before charging, but that belongs to the infantry, so it is not listed separately.
But now this sudden discovery made Liu Ling somewhat unexpected, the sudden appearance of so many advanced tanks will undoubtedly bring some trouble to their armored troops, if you want to quickly annihilate these enemy tanks, the best way is to use the air force to bomb.
But a new question arises on the heels, can the Air Force bomb once, can it blow up twice, and can it blow up a third time? With one or two defeats, the Soviets will certainly hide their tanks and deliver a heavy blow to the attacking forces when the time comes. The Air Force's attempt to find the hidden tanks is undoubtedly tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, even if the scouts follow them all the time to provide accurate coordinates for the Air Force.
But who dares to guarantee that they still have tanks that have not been found? Therefore, the air force bombing is only the last strategy, and the best way at present is to install new tanks, or upgrade the existing tanks to ensure that they can beat the new tanks of the Soviet army.
Therefore, Liu Ling, who was helpless, could only order the reconnaissance troops to follow these new tanks of the enemy army, and to report their positions in a timely manner, and on the other hand, he ordered the troops to prepare for battle, and equipped Bazooka with enough rockets to ensure that there was enough ammunition to use when needed.
At the same time, Liu Ling also ordered the air force to prepare for an attack, and all kinds of high-explosive bombs were also pulled out of the warehouse, and they could be loaded onto bombers for missions just after the order.
And Liu Ling did not forget to report the situation here to Su Dao, and at the same time asked Su Dao when the new tank would start to be installed, Liu Ling was also very speechless about this new tank, it has been developed for three years, and as early as a year ago, he shouted that it had been completed 80 percent, and it would be installed after half a year, and now it has been waiting for a full year, but what about the new tank? God knows exactly how far it has been studied.
"T34 upgrade?"
Looking at the telegram sent back from the front, Su Dao was speechless, originally according to the course of history, the Soviet Union at this time should have just begun to assemble the early T34.
Although at the same time as the T34 was in mass production, they also had time to develop an upgraded version of the T34, but no matter how it was, it shouldn't be so fast, you must know that the T34 of the Soviet Army has not been installed much, at best, it is about 2,000 vehicles, which is completely unequal to the number in the impression of Su Dao in later generations.
On top of that, the T34 has only been in service for less than a year, and now that it is in the upgraded version, which means that they have been working on this since at least a year ago when they first started producing the early T34.
In fact, Su Dao guessed correctly, the Soviet Union did start to study the upgraded version of the tank a long time ago, if the tank of Army Group North was of another style, maybe the upgraded tank of the Soviet Union would not have entered service so quickly.
But one of the most important problems in this is their tank, when they were fighting before, there was a tank lying on the ground, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and the crew members also acted as a fixed battery, and then the tank was destroyed.
But the Soviet troops on the opposite side were basically wiped out, and when the troops retreated, they looked at the destroyed tank and knew that he had no value to repair, so they fired two more shots at him, destroying him more completely before leaving.
At this moment, an armored soldier of the Soviet army quietly ran back to the battlefield, looked at the tank that had become a ruin, recorded some data of the tank with paper and pen, and drew a general appearance, although the tank had been destroyed, but this did not prevent him from observing.
And the Soviet experts, according to the sketches of this armored soldier, found that it had a lot in common with the T34 they were equipped with, and then the experts began to go crazy and modify it on the basis of the T34.
The result was a big surprise, and in less than two months, the armored soldier who recorded the data shouted how did they get this Chinese Imperial tank? As a result, after layers of testing, the early T34 was tragically discontinued, and all factories were changed to produce the upgraded version of the T34.
The same tank guns were equipped with 85 mm caliber and the same thickness of armor, which gave their armored units more confidence in the face of the tanks of the Chinese Empire.
Seeing this, Su Dao couldn't help but worry about the Northern Army Group, although Su Dao didn't know the above situations, but he could guess that the original T34/85 or 76 should have come out, and his new tank was still stuck in the engine, which would be a bolt from the blue for the tank troops.
"Go and ask the research institute to see how far the development of the tank has progressed."
Su Dao looked at his secretary and commanded.
As long as the research is completed and the tests are passed, then within a month, they will be able to equip the first tanks to the troops. As the so-called stupid bird flies first, in fact, as early as half a year ago, Su Dao ordered the factory to start manufacturing some parts of the tank.
Things like turrets, artillery, tracks, load wheels, reactive armor, etc., have long been prepared, just wait for the final drawings to be sent, only need to build a body and engine, and basically can be debugged and factory, and after several years of development, the factory workers have also been honed almost, and they have long been out of the ranks of novices.
