Compared with the envy of the soldiers for the T62 tank, I think it is the wheeled armored vehicles that are more useful.

Especially Huang Jianfu and other tank soldiers, they have just been on the battlefield with the Vietnamese army's T62, so they are very clear about the performance of the T62, knowing that the T62 is not better than the 59 in all aspects, for example, in the battle of Tongmian, the Vietnamese army's five T62 against our army's fifteen 59, and the Vietnamese army's T62 has not yet been coordinated with infantry, and our infantry is still trained after a period of infantry coordination, in addition to the support of 518.6 anti-tank missiles on the high ground...... Under such a large difference in strength, two tanks of the Vietnamese army still broke out of the encirclement.

Although the result was that three tanks of the Vietnamese army were destroyed, more than the two of our troops were destroyed...... But everyone knows that it is not ideal to get this result under such circumstances.

The reason for this...... In fact, it is quite simple, the difference in tank performance is too much.

In this way, the tank soldiers naturally regarded the T62 as a treasure, and everyone rushed to go to the T62 to take a look and open it......

This thing is indeed a treasure, yes, all kinds of performance data are there, and the facts of the battlefield also tell us that it can indeed fight!

But...... One thing I'm clear about is that tanks are no better than sniper rifles or machine guns...... We don't have SVD sniper rifles, so pay a few and go back to dismantle it, dismantle it, and study it, and the copycat version will come out in less than two years. The structure is simple, and it is produced according to the size of the parts.

But tanks are different, there are all kinds of complicated things here, such as the craftsmanship of the barrel. For example, the engine. For example, suspension system, fire control system, etc...... Many of these things are supported by industrial jishu. Without this industrial base, even if you get it, you can't build it.

And so it is...... This T62 tank was captured by our army as early as 69 during the battle with the Soviet Union Zhenbao Island, but our army is still using 59.

As for this imitation of the T62...... There is something to say, that is, the Type 69 tank of our army.

Strictly speaking, it cannot be said that it is an imitation, because the development of this Type 69 tank was produced long before the capture of the T62...... It was a project that started in 63, originally because there were many flaws in 59, so I wanted to improve it, who knew that the next thing was the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations and the loss of the support of the Soviet Union, and then another long decade. As a result, the work proceeded very slowly.

The slowness here almost means crawling forward at the speed of a snail, and it turns out that a T69 was captured in 62...... This was simply a great gift from the Soviet Union, so many T62 jishu were moved to the Type 69 tank, so the tank was finalized. It is precisely because of this that Type 69 is called "Type 69".

But the shift to the value of the shift, this tank was not mass-produced and officially equipped with troops until 82...... The reason is simple, the industrial base is weak, and many jishu problems have not been solved.

This is also the reason why our army is still using 59, and at this time there are 69 types...... I heard Huang Jianfu say that he had seen it. IT'S JUST THAT BECAUSE OF THE IMITATION OF THE T62, THE TANK GUN IS ALSO A 100MM SMOOTHBORE GUN...... It's not good. The 59 guns used in our army are rifled, and the shells are not universal, so we can't make a few cars specifically for these Type 69 tanks to transport shells! (Note: The Type 82 tanks that were mass-equipped with the troops in 69 have been changed to rifled guns)

So...... THIS IS ALSO THE REASON WHY I AM NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THIS BATCH OF CAPTURED T62 TANKS: THE SHELLS ARE NOT UNIVERSAL, OUR 59 IS A 100MM RIFLED GUN, AND THE T62 IS A 115MM SMOOTHBORE GUN. And many of the things there are simply not made by the industry of our time, so what's the use of handing them over...... You have to bring special shells to the battlefield, and when you finish fighting, you can only wait for death, and if it is broken, there will be no parts to replace it, and if it is broken, there will be one less one......

On the contrary, this wheeled armored car is different, there are not so many complicated things here, the weapon system is a turret on the top, even if you modify it with other machine guns, it is not a big problem, and more importantly, there is no shortage of tanks in our synthetic battalion, what is lacking is armored vehicles...... The Type 63 armored car has many defects that need to be improved, so it is just right to replace it with this wheeled armored vehicle for a while.

Besides...... At this time, our army did not pay attention to the development of wheeled armored vehicles, and in the battle we just now, we used a combination of wheeled armored vehicles and rocket launcher shooters to defeat more than ten tanks of the Vietnamese army very easily, so that the superiors may look at wheeled armored vehicles differently.

It turned out that I guessed it right...... The superiors originally thought that the vitality of the wheeled armored vehicle was much worse than that of the tracked type, and the wheeled one, the wheels made the machine gun fire could be broken, and it was as durable and majestic as the track. But as soon as I heard about it, I actually annihilated a dozen tanks on the battlefield with wheeled armored vehicles...... So I was suddenly shocked, there could be such a thing!

Of course, there are conditions for annihilating a dozen tanks with armored vehicles, just like the battle I fought, those tanks were not coordinated by infantry, and they were all old tanks with poor night combat ability. Otherwise, even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I won't be able to fight the tank with an armored car.

But even this is enough to change the idea of equipment that opens the way with "imagination".

The so-called "imagination" opens the way, that is, without experiments, we take it for granted that it will not work here and that it is not good there, and I did not expect it to be used on the battlefield...... It's a sight to behold.

So within two days, the superiors urgently sent people to take away three of the armored vehicles we had captured...... As for what the three armored vehicles were used for, it goes without saying that everyone understands.

I was a little surprised that the speed of the convoy slowed down significantly...... You must know that there are motorized infantry of the 73rd Army in front of this road, and there are infantry guards along the road, what can slow down the speed of the convoy?

"What's going on?" I asked.

Correspondent Xiao Liu listened to the walkie-talkie for a while, and then reported: "Battalion commander, there seem to be many fellow villagers in front, and they are all blocking the road!" ”

"Fellow?" I was a little surprised when I heard that...... It's not far from the war zone, so maybe the shells will hit here, and it's still night, what are the people doing here!

"Battalion commander!" The correspondent said: "The fellow is here to greet us!" ”

I couldn't help but smile wryly and shook my head...... Who arranged this, and all the formalized things were brought to the battlefield...... And this seems to be a bit too much, isn't it just to disregard the safety of the people to let the people come up, what if some stray bullets or shells come!

But I quickly learned I was wrong......

As the convoy advanced, the first thing I saw was that the soldiers of the 73rd Army were anxiously rushing to the people, and some even shouted: "Folks, the battle has just ended, it is dangerous here, you should go back quickly!" ”

But the people did not listen to the warriors, and continued to gather more and more on both sides of the road, some waving at us, some shouting xiexie at us, and even bowing to us...... If it weren't for the soldiers in charge of the guard, they would have rushed up and made our convoy immobilized.

I waved my hand and asked the driver to pull over the jeep, and got out of the car to ask a cadre suspiciously, "What's the situation?" They are ......"

"Report to the chief!" The cadres stood up in front of me and replied: "They are all the people of Banwang, and when they heard that our army had recovered Banwang, they spontaneously came up to greet them, and they refused to leave no matter how much they persuaded them!" ”

"Oh!" That's when I realized I had guessed wrong.

"Comrade, comrade......" At this time, a lady beckoned to me outside the cordon, because she was supported by two relatives, so this beckoning looked like she was about to fall.

I hurriedly took a few steps forward to help her and said, "Auntie, be careful!" ”

"Alas! I'm fine! The eldest lady held my hand tightly with her thin and dry hand and said, "Comrade, it's the Yue devil you repelled...... Thank you, thank you! ”

"Auntie, this is what we should do!" I say.

At this time, I was a little moved, because under the flashing headlights, I noticed that the eldest lady was already in tears.

"Comrade!" The eldest lady was so excited that she said a little inarticulately: "I...... My old man is buried there, and there are generations of ancestors in our family...... I thought I wouldn't be able to go over and see them in my life, but now it's okay and I've got it back...... Thank you so much! ”

"Comrade!" Someone next to him answered: "We have lived in Banwang for generations, and I thought we would never go back...... I didn't expect good news to come today, it's great! xiexie y'all! ”

Soon after, there was one thank-you after another, although I had heard many of these words, and although the people had come in a hurry and brought nothing...... But I can still feel their most sincere hearts.

Then I quickly ordered the soldiers to get out of their cars and line up, and then saluted the people in front of me......

This is done for two purposes:

The first is to let the people get what they want, and thank the soldiers who brought them home to the garden, so that they will leave this place of right and wrong earlier.

Another...... I want the soldiers to listen to the heartfelt thanks of the people, because I think these thanks are the most worthy of our fighting, fighting, sacrificing, and dedication!

Otherwise, what are we for? For eight dollars a month? For a $500 pension? Or is it to be able to stand out in front of other troops?

In fact, it is not, it is for the people to be able to keep their homes, which is the foundation of our pride and pride! (To be continued......)
