"Dashuai, these two big guys are really good, we should also build a few columns!"

Sun Anhu surrounded the two Russian armored trains, and was amazed: "This thing has strong firepower, it is easy to deal with the infantry, guarding the railway line, in the city, supporting the infantry to fight, it can play a role, there are more and more railways in the three eastern provinces, and it is absolutely inseparable from the armored train." ”

"That's right." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "But the Russians are a little outdated, we need to improve more, take the two 76 mm guns in front and back, the range and power are good, but the rate of fire is too different, in addition, when the Russians built the train, they did not consider the problem of air defense, if they encountered the bombing of the air force, it became a live target, so the machine gun on the car also had to be modified and became a high-level dual-purpose." ”

"Dashuai hit the nail on the head, what he said is reasonable, but it's too late to revise it at the moment, and there is an important task!" Sun Anhu said: "The second young master led the armored soldiers all the way, and in less than three days, he had already run more than 110 kilometers, which was unimaginable in the past, and it can be called a god speed!" ”

"That's right, the second brother also sent me a telegram, specifically complaining about logistics, these two armored trains can just help escort supplies and prevent guerrillas along the way." Zhang Tinglan also said with great satisfaction.

Entering the mechanized era, the pace of war is getting faster and faster, since Zhang Tingshu received the order to advance to the depth of Russia, he immediately turned the defensive line and advanced rapidly along the railway.

In the history of human warfare, this is the first large-scale use of armor Liliang rapid assault, their speed of action is far beyond imagination, the Russian defenders along the way did not have time to react, the Feng army was killed in front of them, and did not even leave time for them to clear the field.

The panzers easily rushed out of the way, killing and crushing the panicked Russians. Zhang Tingshu and the others ran 115 kilometers in two days and three nights, and more than 40 kilometers in almost one day and night. This kind of advance speed has exceeded the imagination of many people, and the jaws of Fengjun have dropped in shock.

Zhang Tingshu not only had to march, but also had to deal with the endless Russian army. When the Feng army sent troops from Manchuria, it took almost the same time to go less than 70 kilometers, which already made the Feng army proud.

But the tank crew easily broke the record, and the big guy even doubted that the armored soldiers would rush all the way down and kill directly to Chita. Of course, this is just an illusion. Zhang Tingshu stopped about fifty kilometers from Chita.

In front of him was Akinskoye, and it was from here that the Russians built the Middle East Road, which led directly to China through Manchuria.

This is where the two railways meet. The Russians were heavily guarded, and Zhang Tinglan certainly had the heart to rush over directly. Take this important town into your own hands. And once the control is here. Jiang Deng's selection of their Outer Northeast Army Corps can achieve a meeting with the main force, and the two armies can attack Chita together.

This is definitely a very attractive thing, but Second Young Master Zhang finally gave up, the main reason is that the logistics and supplies can't keep up.

The high-speed charge of the armored troops looks very imposing, but the cost of logistics and supplies is also quite staggering. Every tank is an oil tiger, and it eats oil much faster than people consume food. The oil they were carrying was already in a hurry, and without oil, they couldn't move. No matter how powerful the armor liliang looks, it will turn into a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

In addition, there is another trouble, that is, a large number of tanks have serious quality problems, 60 tanks, in the battle, damaged a total of 5 of them, but due to mechanical problems, there are more than 20 completely lying in the nest, and the key parts of the rear must be obtained in order to make these tanks run again, as for the armored vehicles, the situation is similar.

The combat effectiveness was cut by about half, and Second Young Master Zhang didn't dare to take risks, he could only honestly wait for the support from the rear to catch up as soon as possible. They were also on the edge of the combat radius of the Fengjun Air Force at this time, and if they were a little farther away, the planes would be fundamentally up.

With the protection of the aircraft, Zhang Tingshu and the others were still relatively relieved, and the tank soldiers who came down in their spare time followed behind the Jishu personnel and asked them all kinds of problems about tank maintenance. After such a rush, they finally understood the importance of understanding tank maintenance, and with this ability, when they arrived on the battlefield, they simply had one more life, and everyone did not dare to neglect it.

Wang Dingming, deputy commander of the regiment, took matters into his own hands, and together with several soldiers, replaced the tracks of the tank, and then climbed to the bottom to check the engine, fuel tank, and so on. After a busy circle, he was covered in black engine oil, as if he was a little ghost.

"Regiment commander, let's design tanks in the future, I think the most important point is that the leather is reliable, the maintenance must be simple, and those who have a little experience can deal with it!" It's really crazy, the most important thing is that you still have weapons in your hands, once you lie down, it's useless to have more haode things! ”

Wang Dingming wiped his sweat and said with great emotion. Weapons are not as sophisticated as possible, and setting performance standards very high is often a means of fooling the layman and defrauding procurement funds, and what is needed in the struggle between the big industrialized countries is weapons of high quality and low price, and superb cost performance.

At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the quality of the people, suitable for large-scale use of equipment, after all, history has proved that it is completely possible to rely on the advantage of quantity to completely submerge the strength of quality, which is also a concept of Zhang Tinglan's development of military industry, regardless of the advantages and disadvantages, easy to use first.

Zhang Tingshu said with a smile: "Go back and sort out all your suggestions, I will go to the company and let them think about our needs when they design tanks." ”

While they were talking, there was a train whistle, and the logistics materials of the Feng army had been transported, and Zhang Tingshu hurriedly ran to the train station to meet them.

The two captured armored trains were one after the other, with three military trains in between, carrying a large number of fuel parts, as well as ammunition and food, and Zhang Henian also rushed over with some soldiers to defend the current battle line with Zhang Tingshu, and waited for an opportunity to capture Akinskoye.

Zhang Henian shook his tall body, jumped onto the platform, and when he saw Zhang Tingshu coming, he smiled and stretched out his thumb: "The second young master became famous in a fight, and they all praised you!" Why don't I hurry over here so that I can learn some real skills from the second young master! ”

"Brother He Nian, you can take on the position of brigade commander of the main division, I am a regiment commander, how dare I teach you."

"No, it's not going back, the marshal has decided to expand the armored forces, to set up an independent armored brigade, after the production capacity keeps up, the armored division will be established, and the time for the second young master to show his skills will come!"

When Zhang Tingshu heard this, his eyes lit up, he didn't care about the change in military rank, what really moved Zhang Tingshu was the attitude of the Feng army towards the armored army, it seems that after this battle, the resistance to the development of armored liliang has completely disappeared.

The direction of the development of the army determines the direction of the tilt of military spending, don't look at Zhang Tingshu is the second son of the old handsome, is Zhang Tinglan's younger brother, there are some things that even Zhang Tinglan can not easily decide, now that there are real achievements, in the future, a lot of resources will be tilted towards the armored corps, and no one can say anything.

"Does my eldest brother have anything to explain?"

"The marshal just asked us to actively prepare for war and guard against the counterattack of the Russians."

Just when Zhang Henian and they were stepping up their preparations for war, the news of the Feng army's victory again came out, and military observers from various countries were carefully studying the map, and the two armies of the Feng army were constantly advancing, and at this speed, it was not impossible to meet the division in Chita.

In particular, the rapid advance of more than 100 kilometers in three or two days completely shocked all countries, and their assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Feng army could not help but raise several grades, and the Feng army could at least reach the level of the second- and third-rate powers.

The envoys of the United States and Britain met urgently, and Klein and Eston looked at each other, and their faces were mixed with anger, doubt, joy, and distress in the face of Fengjun's good news.

"The Feng army does have considerable strength, using loans and old arms is a means to envelop Beiyang, it is obviously not enough to deal with the Feng army, it seems that we need to come up with some real things!" Crane said with a sigh.

"Maybe your opinion is right, but you must strictly control the key jishu, and you must also set two restrictions for Fengjun, you can't touch it, only in this way can you cooperate with him!" Eston said with a sneer.

"Mr. Aiston, what are your two limitations?"

"The annexation of the Far Eastern Empire is not permitted; It is not allowed to expand shili to Kannai! ”

After Klein heard this, a trace of joy immediately flashed in his eyes, these two conditions are too important, according to the current situation, the Far Eastern Empire is still a country controlled by White Russia, and the nominal territory also includes the Outer Northeast Region, so that the Far Eastern Empire can maintain its independence, and it can limit the expansion of the Feng Army.

In addition, not allowing the Feng army to develop in the Guannai is to avoid China's reunification and endanger their interests. As long as Feng Jun can agree to these two points and provide Feng Jun with some industrial jishu, it is not impossible to discuss, but beyond these two points, they will never agree.

The two guys found Zhang Tinglan again, everyone sat opposite each other, Zhang Tinglan also kept observing the two ministers, last time they refused their request, and now they have found the door again, maybe they are ready to loosen up, but they don't know how far they can be delivered.

"Mr. two ministers, the Feng army is planning a major military operation, I will soon go to the front line and personally command, if we have anything, let's make a long story short!"

Eston's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I take the liberty of asking, is the Feng army preparing to attack Chita?" ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled noncommittally: "The matter involves confidentiality, so it's not good to reveal too much, but I can tell the two of you that the Feng army will drive the Russians out of the east of Lake Baikal as soon as possible." ”

When Zhang Tinglan said this, he revealed a strong self-confidence, and Klein and Eston also had to believe it.

Klein also said: "We are very happy to see the rapid advance of the Feng army, eliminating the threat of the majority party, which is in the common interest of all countries, and after our consultation with the government, we have obtained permission to provide Jishu equipment to the Feng army, and we can have a good talk!"
