Han Mingguang said with a smile: "Okay, I'll notify their division commander and ask them to immediately give an order for an emergency assembly, and let's go to the assembly place now." ”

So Lin Yuan got into the car with Han Mingguang, and went to the meeting place - the comprehensive training ground under the leadership of the sentry, on the way Lin Yuan asked: "The training of armored troops is different from ordinary infantry units, I don't know who the division commander is Lu Dao?" ”

Han Mingguang smiled: "Xiao Yingwu, do you know this person?" ”

As soon as Lin Yuan heard this name, he immediately said in surprise: "Why is it?" Isn't he the head of the political department on the Beijing ship? How did you become the commander of an armored division? ”

Han Mingguang smiled: "You don't know what to do, right?" Comrade Lao Xiao had been working in the mechanized infantry division before coming to the Beijing ship, and he had been a division commander, and then he came to work with us, and now it is only appropriate for him to lead this armored unit. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What about the composition of the soldiers?" Where did you get it? ”

Han Mingguang replied: "Our soldiers are all from this era, and we have also run an armored force school ourselves, and the instructors are all our people, and the soldiers are all selected from the school. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I'm afraid that there won't be enough talents, since we have a school, it's great." ”

Han Mingguang said: "Only the northeastern region has implemented new education, and in the vast area of Kannai, people there are still learning Bagu Wen. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Eight strands, four books and five classics, these things can be regarded as one of the foundations of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to abolish them, and it will definitely take a certain amount of time to abolish them." ”

The two of them came to the comprehensive training ground while talking, here is a large open space, there are all kinds of targets, bunkers, and several large pools on the open space, which are used for tank driving and shooting training, at this moment, I saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising in the distance, and then I heard the sound of "boom boom", Lin Yuan looked in the direction where the sound came, and saw fifteen tanks lined up in a long line, driving in his direction!

At a distance of about 300 meters from him, the leading tank stopped, the tanks behind were divided to the left and right, and the fifteen tanks lined up in the shape of an arrow, stopped, Lin Yuan raised the telescope in his hand, and saw a red flag floating on the front tank, which read: Tank Company.

When the tank company had just stopped, ten more armored vehicles drove over, these armored vehicles did not have turrets and artillery like tanks, and only one machine gun was installed on the body, but there were several long lines erected on the roof, Chen Fei asked on the side: "Are the long wires erected on those bodies communication antennas?" Have we already got the communication equipment out? ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, our tube and semiconductor industries have developed, and it is a matter of course to develop communication equipment." ”

Chen Fei then asked, "What is the purpose of the vehicle with the antenna?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "If I guessed correctly, it must be an armored reconnaissance vehicle and an armored command vehicle. ”

As Lin Yuan was talking, he saw an armored car stopped less than fifty meters away from him, and then three people came out from behind the car, the leader was forty or fifty years old, his hair was slightly white, but his face was full of red light, he walked a few steps quickly to Lin Yuan, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Yuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Comrade Captain, why are you here?" ”

Lin Yuan knew the person in front of him, he was Xiao Yingwu, and Lin Yuan also smiled: "I'm here to see the situation of the armored forces." Then Lin Yuan whispered: "I see that there is about to be a big task." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yingwu laughed heartily again, and then said: "It's good to have a task, otherwise so many people are here, and it costs food and fuel every day!" Come on, let me introduce you to our armored forces! ”

Lin Yuan looked to the east, and saw two teams of tanks like dragons going out to sea, breaking through the smoke and dust; To the west, an armored cart approached like a pack of wolves; To the east, ten chariots came, but these ten chariots were different, it was carrying a long barrel, Lin Yuan understood at a glance, these were self-propelled guns.

The three armored clusters stopped at the designated position, and together with the tank company that came earlier, they formed a phalanx, and one after another people ran over to report to Xiao Yingwu: "Report to Comrade Division Commander, the tank battalion has been assembled, please instruct!" "The armored infantry battalion has been assembled, please instruct!" "The self-propelled artillery battalion has been assembled, please instruct!"

Xiao Yingwu replied one by one: "Stand by now!" Then he turned back to Lin Yuan and said: "According to your meaning, our armored division is an armored composite force, the number is the seventh division, and we have three brigades and nine regiments under us, but now due to insufficient equipment and personnel, it is only organized into a regiment, and there are three tank battalions under this regiment, equipped with forty-five tanks; two mechanized infantry battalions, equipped with a hundred infantry fighting vehicles and a thousand infantrymen; There is also a self-propelled artillery battalion armed with ten 122-mm self-propelled howitzers! There was also a comprehensive support battalion, which was training outside and did not arrive. ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Great, this kind of firepower has few opponents in the World Lu Realm!" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "Now I will take you to visit our troops!" Xiao Yingwu said and took Lin Yuan and others to inspect the phalanx, the first thing to see was the tank, Chen Fei whispered next to Lin Yuan: "Is this also a tank?" It's too small! ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Don't you use the main battle tanks of our era as a standard to measure whether our tanks are good or not?" The tanks you've seen, like the German Leopard II.A6, the American M1A2, the British Challenger, and our Type 99, are all third-generation main battle tanks after World War II, and all of these tanks are worth 60 tons in battle! The caliber of the main gun is up to 120 mm or 125 mm, and the thickness of the front armor is more than 600 mm! ”

"The combat performance of such a tank is certainly very strong, but it is not applicable to us at all, the reason why the third-generation main battle tank is so large and heavy is because under the threat of various armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells and other anti-armor weapons, it has to be thickened protection, but our opponent does not have those things at all, and we design the tank so powerful Lang Fei!"

Lin Yuan said and pointed to the "001" tank in front of him, and said: "Look at our tank, the turret is low, the hull is relatively small, I estimate the length is about six meters, the height is two meters, the empty weight is not more than 20 tons, and the total combat weight is not more than 25 tons; It is equipped with one gun and two machine guns, the caliber of the gun is about 70 mm, such a tank is undoubtedly the current king of land warfare! ”

Lin Yuan was talking to Chen Fei, and at this moment, he saw Xiao Yingwu's brows suddenly furrowed, and then he called the commander of the tank battalion over and asked sharply, "What's the matter?" How is there one less tank? What about the tanks marked 'Hole Three Taels'? Where did it go? ”

Lin Yuan looked at the tank group, counted it, and found that there were only forty-four tanks, and he was also thinking in his heart: "That's right?" Why is there one missing? ”

The battalion commander lowered his head and said, "The tank marked 'Dong Sanliang' went out and couldn't be contacted, so I didn't rush to ......."

Xiao Yingwu roared angrily: "Out of the city? Where did it go? Why can't I get in touch? How did you become a battalion commander? ”
