Chapter 605: The Tiger Will Exit the Gate (4) Four Pairs of Load-Bearing Wheels!
Yes, when this unit moves, it is able to make a vigorous sound, which sounds like a large group of heavy tracked tractors or engineering vehicles in a collective transfer, which is also a scene often seen on various large construction sites in China in recent years.
But when you really see the scene, you will find that what is running here is not a tractor engineering vehicle, but a group of monsters with the same tracks, but a low iron shell wrapped in a low shell!
If Chinese military fans from the 21st century see this iron guy, they will surely shout angrily: "This must be heresy!" ”
The short body carried by four pairs of load-bearing wheels, the inclined armored body welded with steel plates, the ugly turret buckled on the top like a loaf of bread, and a long 57mm barrel on the top, how awkward it looks, there is no industrial aesthetics at all, dirt, dirt to the slag!
The only thing that can make people feel comfortable is probably the heavy machine gun on the roof of the car, and in addition, the stubby and thin funny look is really full of all the necessary elements that make people complain about their powerlessness.
Well, this is the first experimental tank produced by the B-113 factory and will become famous in the future - the T10.
The tractor industry of the second plane was developed relatively early, from 1895, the second year of the Yang Group's crossing, that is, the first crawler tractor factory was set up in Tianjin. It's just that at that time, the production was still the steam engine tractor, the floor and the track, as well as other transmission and shock absorbing mechanisms, but they were not much different from the mature design of the world.
In the past 15 years, the first generation of tractor industry workers in New China have already had a clear understanding of their production technology, and they are in the process of industrial adjustment after the founding of the New Dynasty. It was divided into the tank fighting vehicle department of the Baotou 113 Plant. He began to concentrate on the research of heavy equipment for the army, which shifted from civilian products.
Here we have to talk about the changes in the construction of the military industry in the B plane.
At the beginning of the crossing. Due to a serious lack of planning and overall planning, the Young's practice of dumping second-hand industrial equipment here is crude and dangerous. The large number of factories that have been built are full of backward and obsolete industrial machinery that sells scrap iron in the world, but in the years around the 20th century, they were all out-and-out super advanced goods.
After the founding of the new dynasty, with the formulation of the first five-year plan and the national industrial construction plan, under the personal leadership of Yang Hao, the entire industrial system was comprehensively adjusted.
All industrial equipment and experimental research facilities brought from this world. All of them are concentrated in digitally numbered factories with military backgrounds, and are strictly militarized and kept absolutely secret from the outside world. Although it did not have a three-line structure of the world's largest and smallest, it also achieved the separation of military and civilian forces for the first time, and comprehensively protected the production of top-notch industrial equipment.
Nothing else, mainly because I am afraid that contemporary foreign devils will steal teachers.
In this way, everything that can be called a "mother machine" is produced under the condition of secrecy, and the second-level production equipment is provided to the major state-owned heavy industry production plants. This includes all kinds of machine tools, engines, electronic components, motors, petrochemicals, smelting and other basic industrial equipment.
What foreigners want to import from China can only be purely domestic sub-level equipment. And you have to wait for a schedule. Knowing that this is a discriminatory policy, they do not have a problem. If you have the ability, you don't buy it!
In fact, it is true that it is not the turn of foreigners to buy, just the needs of domestic industrial construction, at least to ensure that in the long period of one or two decades, all the digital numbering factories + research institutes will not be busy with anything else, they have to complete the outline of the fifty-year industrial development plan formulated by His Excellency the Great Führer himself.
That is to learn from the world's China, to establish a complete set of industrial system categories of super industrial chain!
Let's not complain about what a crazy construction plan this is, with the number and level of education and industry that have just started in the B plane, it will be fast to complete it in fifty years.
But to say that he is whimsical, not necessarily. According to the current territory of New China, the southeast of Bohuang and the Sea of Japan have all been turned into inland seas, with a population of 460 million, plus more than 600 million people affected by the surrounding areas, the market size is the largest in the world, and the supply of raw materials for the four basic industries of petroleum, rubber, coal, and iron and steel is all satisfied.
Before the evolution to the information age, it took 50 years to complete the second industrial revolution and complete the foundation of the third industrial revolution, and to take the foundation of the new China in the second plane, which can be said to be quite conservative.
Not to mention other things, just after the separation of military technology research, some things that have been brought from this world but are not very easy to spread can finally be put down and studied by scientific research institutes and institutions. At least all kinds of industrial production technologies at the level of the middle and late stages of World War II, and thousands of tons of paper materials, all the industrial talents cultivated by New China for more than ten years were drowned in.
After at least five years of study and exploration, major research institutes and factories began to experiment with the design and construction of high-end military equipment suitable for contemporary conditions. The armored machinery of Baotou 113 Factory is one of the most typical product lines.
The advent of this T10 light tank is naturally indispensable to the intervention of His Excellency the Great Führer. He almost got the most classic five pairs of load-bearing wheels at one time, but then he thought about it and didn't pull out the seedlings too much, just the designers with rigid brains presented, those designs that were directly made with the chassis of crawler tractors, and the structure of multiple pairs of large-diameter load-bearing wheels was dialed up. It's just that what those guys ended up with was a heresy with only four pairs!
Yang Dafeng really wanted to change it to five pairs of wheels with a big stroke of the pen, but after thinking about it, he couldn't discourage people's enthusiasm too much. In addition, as long as the way is correct, in fact, starting with four pairs or five pairs, the impact is not great, so simply let them go and tinker with it.
The researchers were obviously greatly encouraged, and then, in accordance with the concept of "serialization and ethnicity" formed in the field of the whole army and the whole industry under the influence of His Excellency the Great Führer from the very beginning, a whole set of armored vehicle weapons based on this relatively perfect four-pair wheel chassis was gorgeously born!
In good conscience, the chassis of the T10 tank is still good, combining a stable large-size load wheel and a torsion spring suspension system to achieve the three key indicators of high speed, large stroke and easy maintenance.
The main engine is imitated from the famous B2 diesel engine. Standard power 540 hp. How awkward it is to cram into a short body with only four pairs of wheels. Or criticize him as a heretic.
Although a pair of weight-bearing wheels are missing. The quality of the whole vehicle has not decreased much. The armor steel made according to the highest contemporary technology is thick and hard enough to resist the bombardment of infantry guns or medium-caliber guns of various countries, so the thickness of the front face and the front armor of the turret has been increased to 55mm! As a result, the mass of the whole vehicle is actually heavier than the A32 in the world, reaching 23.8 tons!
The maximum cross-country speed of the tank is only 60 kilometers, and in the opinion of Yang Hao, anything that does not reach 70 kilometers is not a qualified product. However, for contemporary tank researchers, it is already much higher than expected.
Based on this chassis, they successively came up with only a 12.7mm ZY10 armored personnel carrier. A ZB10 infantry fighting vehicle armed with a 30mm cannon, a PZ-1 self-propelled gun equipped with an 85mm cannon, and a PZ-2 self-propelled howitzer with a 36-barreled 75mm mountain gun.
In addition, there are more than a dozen kinds of maintenance vehicles, engineering vehicles, command vehicles, tractors, bridge erection vehicles, etc., which use the same chassis host, and go directly to a complete set of Type 10 armor system.
Yang Hao, the head of state, was happy to see it come to fruition, and approved it with a wave of his hand. A few years later, a group of steel monsters suddenly appeared in the north of the Mongolian plateau, billowing smoke and clanging in the sky.
This was the first armored cavalry force in New China, which was used as a heavy weapon of the army to replace the traditional cavalry. It has become a weapon of mass destruction to guard the northern frontier, because it is still in the experimental stage. After the formation of an armored cavalry regiment, it was given a temporary number "1st Division and 1st Regiment", which directly belonged to the Ministry of Defense and the Führer.
After the completion of the 1st Installation Regiment, they have been conducting synthetic training in the adjacent area of the grassland between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, testing the performance of various car bodies, and for two whole years, they have been in an environment of absolute secrecy.
Until the outbreak of the Sino-Russian War, the first phase of the offensive goal of the Northern Xinjiang Corps was achieved, and the second phase of the large-scale training part was entered. With the southeastern part of Lake Baikal and the northern part of the Mongolian Plateau as the battlefields, the northern Chinese corps will be pulled up one after another, replacing exercises with actual combat, and sharpening the backbone of the new generation of the army, including ordinary soldiers and officers. In the future, they will become the first batch of modern professional soldiers in New China who truly have a military academy background and are oriented to fighting in large corps.
The commander of the 1st Division concurrently served as the commander of the 1st Regiment, and was served by Feng Qing, who was born as a thief, Yang Hao's hardcore descendant. The commanders of the three tank battalions below are Feng Yuxiang of the first battalion, Yan Xishan of the second battalion, and Zhang Zuolin of the third battalion.
If this is to let the people of this world know, Yang Hao deliberately stuffed the three old enemies into a group with an extremely bad taste, and I don't know what to complain about. However, the three people of the second plane obviously didn't know that they would be a glorious course of fighting for world domination for a day and influencing China for decades.
Yang Hao did not treat them badly, and came up to give such a high and important position - the world's first armored force. In the future, they will inevitably become the three giants of the Chinese Army, which is interesting enough, right?
As for whether he can grow into such a bullish character, it is not something that Yang Hao has to consider now.
In short, three colonel-level officers, who are still very young, took on the important task and threw themselves into the battle of the traditional cavalry for the first time with armored troops.
Among the three battalion commanders, Zhang Zuolin is the oldest and most experienced, but his qualifications are the least. He has ten years of experience in leading thousands of troops to fight in the northeast thousands of miles of forests, seas and snowfields, and has the best understanding of cavalry tactics, but he seriously lacks education in modern military theory, which can be called a shortcoming.
In addition, this guy is too illiterate, and his level of education is a mess. Against the background of the general education level above middle school, and all officers at the school level have studied in military schools, it seems very unqualified.
After being incorporated in the Northeast, thanks to the personal care of His Excellency the Great Führer, Zhang Zuolin did not return to the field like other old brothers, but attended a six-month short training course for officers, and was assigned to serve in the mysterious First Division.
When he saw the torrent of steel rushing wildly on the grassland Gobi for the first time, Zhang Zuolin's whole body was numb. There are still steel monsters in Nima's world that can run so fast! Covered with impenetrable armor, it runs faster than a horse, its firepower is more ferocious than that of ordinary infantry, it lasts longer, and it can adapt to various terrain environments.
At the thought of being able to command such a force, Zhang Zuolin's blood boiled at that time, and the thought of repaying him to death arose. People don't despise him as a horse thief leader, but also entrust him with important tasks, we Lao Zhang is righteous, and we must not let the face of His Excellency the Great Führer fall to the ground.
From then on, Zhang Zuolin was determined to move forward. In normal times, he hired a cultural instructor to teach him literacy at a high price, and his wife and children couldn't take care of it, so he immersed himself in the tactical study of armored cavalry.
He has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has more eyes than the other two young battalion commanders, and he found that there was neither a deputy division commander nor a deputy regiment commander in the first regiment, and the four commanders served alone, so he knew that there was a great potential opportunity here. With his own rich experience in cavalry combat, especially his unparalleled knowledge of the Maozi Cossack cavalry in the army, he is a strong candidate for the commander of the armored cavalry regiment!
After understanding the new Chinese army system, he knows very well that as long as he climbs to the head of a regiment, the future is bright! In the future, it will become a giant in the army, which is expected. Although he can't become the kind of big official he wants to be the governor of a province, he can control an army of 100,000 people, especially such an awesome and advanced army, but it is not bad at all!
The second phase of the Sino-Russian War officially began, and the regiment was quietly transported to Kulen by rail, where it was safely and steadily adapted to the environment, familiar with the terrain, and completed the operational deployment in the military encirclement near the east.
When the commander-in-chief of the Russian Far Eastern Military District, Lynevich, instigated an attack to the south, the 112th Division of the 11th Army of the Mongolian Construction Corps, which was originally deployed between Kulen and Kyakhta, quietly opened a wide gap in its front. The Cossack soldiers of the 24 cavalry companies under the Mishukoshin Cavalry Corps of the Russian Far Eastern Corps trampled on the ice and snow all the way to rush forward, bypassing Kyakhta, an empty trading city, and bravely entering the Sino-Russian border that they did not recognize at all.
It was a battle of revenge, and since the outbreak of the war in the Far East, the Cossack cavalry suffered several humiliating defeats in succession, losing an entire division of its elite. This made the arrogant Maozi feel humiliated, and this time they had the opportunity to rush into the territory of the Chinese and slash and kill, and they would definitely not let go of the perfect opportunity to take a bad breath.
Ten thousand horses galloped together, iron hooves roared, and the snow-covered northern land was shaken by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves. The Cossack cavalry rushed to the border town of Iro with high spirits, and it seemed that it could be decided in a battle.
But they didn't know that right in front of them, more than a hundred steel chariots, like restless war horses, roared lowly. (To be continued.) )
