Part 4 The Journey Chapter 188 Three Thousand Miles of Steel Pliers (3)

It's a pity that the latest chariot is used as bait, and Commander Wang pays it back. ”

As he spoke, Xu Soul straightened up and patted the shoulder of the major general opposite: "Ji Shen, don't complain, you can count it as a profit when you go back this time, look at the surroundings here, they are all new cars that have just left the factory, and that Liu Dajun God is envious of you." ”

The one who was affectionately called "Jishen" by Xu Soul was Yintian, the commander of the 1st Army, and the "Liu Dajun God" in Xu Soul's mouth was Liu Yangbo, a great hero who became famous in the First World War of Yablonovo in the Asian-Russian War and the current commander of the 3rd Army.

"When we went back to change clothes with the 4th Army, the old goods were thrown to the 3rd, and because of this, the 3rd Army couldn't get a new car - I really wronged Commander Liu." Yintian said sympathetically.

Xu Soul pouted: "What's wronged, 3 has earned enough money, there are so many things you threw down, he Liu Dajun carefully selected and then dismantled and repaired, and it was enough to make up a good deal." ”

Yintian scratched his head and smiled: "That being said......"

Xu Soul subconsciously shook the Tang knife in his hand: "Now is not the time to talk about this - Ji Shen, this battle is very important, I think Mao Zi will definitely not sit still, there may be any variables in the middle, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

"Yes—"

Xu Soul patted the steel plate behind him again: "How?" Changing clothes is enjoyable, right? Just looking at your command vehicle is majestic enough, the two radio stations can go straight to the headquarters of the front army, and down you can shout to the nearest company commander's car, and you can also communicate with the air...... The body of the car is so big and wide, when you are not in the army, put down the back door and set up a tent, and you can be the headquarters and sleep, two words: comfortable. ”

"It is said that it was modified from the chassis of the new medium tank?"

"That's right. You've also taken a test ride, how do you feel? ”

"The off-road performance is good, and it is not as bumpy as the old tank, it is not tiring, if the whole army can be equipped with a new tank with this chassis......" Yintian looked pity and pity again.

Xu Soul shook his head and smiled: "Really, eating the bowl and looking at the pot, they are all newly manufactured Flying Wolf Jie Fox, even with self-propelled guns, half-track vehicles, semi-automatic rifles, the latest and most expensive things are given to you, and it is not bad for that medium tank." There will be, there will be steamed buns, and there will be pickles. ”

Yintian lowered his head, and his riding boots rubbed against the ground: "New equipment, new formation, it's all good, but I'm still a little worried...... It is mainly a matter of supply, and in the event of a surprise attack, it will be difficult for us to maintain a safe and continuous supply line until the infantry can catch up. This has been demonstrated by previous winter operations. ”

"So you have to rush fast and hard! Achieve combat objectives before you run out of supplies! Remember. You are not there to fight the enemy, you are a commando, you are a surprise army, you are there to cut off the enemy, disrupt the enemy, and shock the enemy! Don't get entangled with the enemy, leave the strong position to the infantry behind, make a big circle behind the enemy, and block their retreat! Speed, speed, speed is your supply! The car can't be driven, and if it can't be repaired in a short time and can't be towed, it will be blown up and abandoned, and any trouble that affects the speed of the assault must be eliminated! What to do with the wounded soldiers who can't take them away? Give pain relievers. Give the pistol grenades, find a place to hide, and then go back and search for containment, do you still need me to repeat this? Speed is supply! Complete that lap within the allotted time. Hold the point where you should be occupied, and rush to the shore of Lake Baikal at the last point, and you will be resupplied - if you can't rush it. You don't need supplies, you see? ”

Yintian leather boots together: "Subordinates understand!" ”

Xu Soul hung the Tang knife back on his waist and waved his hand forward: "How is it?" Come with me, will you? It's been a long time since your 1st Army has come to the door.

"Obey the order—it's a privilege for your subordinates."

So they each took a guard and walked through the excessively quiet woods.

"That's the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade over there, do you want to call Brigade Commander Yuan over?" Yintian said, pointing to a tent in front of him.

Xu Soul waved his hand: "No, I'll go casually first, and the brigade commanders will convene later-Speaking of Yuan Xu and Yuan Zhuge , his brigade was the first to change clothes, is there any way to say it?" ”

"Well, he's worried about the rain, and he's afraid that our truck won't be able to move in the mud."

"Nothing else?"

"Nope."

"Well...... Trucks are indeed a bottleneck, there are no decent roads on our offensive route, and the newly incorporated half-tracks are only enough to transport the brigade's local motorized infantry battalion, and it also increases the logistical burden...... Baggage transportation mainly has to rely on two and a half tons of trucks, trucks are very difficult to run on the unleveled field road, both fuel consumption and easy to lie down, Yuan Zhuge also said the point, if it rains heavily, our trucks will fall into the mud in the field. Xu Soul shook his head helplessly, "No way, it's better than using a carriage, more than ninety percent of the motor vehicles of the entire front army have been piled up to our armored group army, and the 3rd Regiment Army behind us can only rely on it."

The burden is heavy, and the landlord's family has no surplus food. ”

"It's still what I said just now, if it's broken, divide the supplies, drain the fuel tank, hide what should be hidden, blow up what should be fried, don't be heartbroken, don't hesitate to delay, we still keep building trucks, but the fighters are fleeting, this time because they care about their own losses and let go of the enemy, the entire empire will have to pay a greater price in the future! Rush forward, don't look backward, offensive awareness and high-speed maneuver are your talismans! This truth must be conveyed and engraved into the minds of every battalion commander, company commander, and vehicle commander! ”

"As for the weather, the latest weather forecast from the front army is less than 48 small + clouds, and judging from the records of previous years, it has not rained much in this place in recent times. Even if it really rains once in a hundred years, the trucks are all stuck in the mud, and the moving cars have to continue to move forward, and the big deal is to pile oil drums on the chariots, stuff more ammunition in the half-track car, and don't stop without burning up the last drop of oil and not firing the last bullet! ”

Yintian nodded yes all the way, and unconsciously walked into a chariot parking field, where the chariots scattered among the trees formed a steel labyrinth, and the two of them circled in it for a long time. Xu Soul climbed on the roof of the car from time to time, opened the hatch to inspect inside, and even wiped the inner wall with white gloves, so carefully inspected the car, and saw two officers squatting in the back of a "flying wolf" car smoking and chatting from a distance, so he signaled Yintian not to make a sound, and took him to tiptoe back to the side and eavesdrop through the body.

I heard an older man answer, "...... I don't want to, I don't want to, how powerful the seven or five guns are, now the whole battalion is a flying wolf with three seven guns, and 2 is a water Jie Fox machine gun car, not to mention that I will encounter Maozi's two-story monster chariot again, just for part-time work, the three seven guns must be much more laborious than the seven or five guns, as for the machine guns, the meaning is forgotten. Although the artillery battalion has added six 75 assault guns with flying wolf chassis, there is no turret, the armor is thin, and the top is still open. ”

I heard a young voice again: "Throw the armored car to the brigade headquarters and the reconnaissance company, I will raise my hands and feet to support, that thing does not match our main tank at all, it may not be able to pass where the tank can pass, and it has always been happier than the tank on the road, and it will die the fastest and worst in the fight - anyway, it is not suitable to be the main force, and it is almost the same as running errands to explore the road and be a bodyguard." ”

"Blessed are the brethren of the infantry battalion, the truck has been replaced by a camel half-track, with armor and machine guns, where the flying wolf and the fox can pass, it can basically pass, the horsepower is sufficient, the travel is enough, it can defend itself, and it is not as brittle as the medium truck. It is no problem to charge after us, rush to the vicinity of the enemy line, open the back door and release the people, and then get into the car to chase us after the fight, so that the brothers do not have to eat the dust of our chariot for a long way like before, and not to mention being exposed to artillery fire, and often scatter......ing with them."

"There is also the latest Hanyang semi-automatic gun, a trigger is a shot, no need to pull the bolt, 10 rounds of magazine until it is exhausted, it is not like the Jinling submachine gun to be equipped with nine millimeter bullets, the original 79 step machine ammunition can be used, although the rate of fire is not as good as the submachine gun, the range and power are not worse than the original Hanyang 97, it is a little heavier......"

The elder continued: "Speaking of which, our charioteers finally have submachine guns for self-defense, even with grenades, I think this is a reminder to us that even if the chariot is broken, as long as people still have a breath, we must continue to fight to the end as infantry!" ”

"Even if you don't have these things, like in the past, when you only had pistols, you can fight to the end."

Hearing this, Xu Soul walked out of his hiding place: "No, you should survive as much as possible. ”

The two officers—the older captain and the younger ensign—snapped in unison, then jumped to their feet, and saluted as the cigarette butt in their hand had been trampled into the sole of their boot.

"Captain Fu Liang, commander of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 1st Armored Brigade!"

"Second Lieutenant Zhong Yi, Platoon Commander of the 1st Battalion, 1st Company, 1st Platoon of the 1st Armored Brigade!"

Xu Soul raised his hand to return the salute, and a trace of inadvertent ambiguity flashed in the corner of his eyes: "Take a break...... You are Zhong Yi, the ...... Lineage Wu Zhen Gong? ”

"Second Lieutenant of the Imperial Army - Zhong Yi." Zhong Yi straightened his chest even more and emphasized.

Xu Soul blinked, nodded and smiled: "Okay, Platoon Leader Zhong, there are ...... Company Commander Fu, you don't have to be formal, you can sit down, just like just now. ”

As he spoke, he took out a metal cigarette case with dragon patterns from his jacket pocket, opened it, and handed it to the two of them.

The two hesitated for a moment, until the commander of the Yintian Army behind Xu Soul spoke: "The commander gave you a cigarette, don't take it soon." ”

"It's Kinhard Gate, I don't know if you're used to it." Xu Soul put away the cigarette case and took out the silver-plated lighter.
