Chapter XXXVIII, Cavalry Corps IV

The problem of the poor firepower of the Red Army turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the preservation of all armored vehicles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After hearing that there were armored cars, Xia Xinsheng and several people hurried over to take a look and were disappointed, the so-called armored cars here are not the "FT-17 light tanks and NC27 light tanks" introduced by the Northeast Army. It's just an ordinary truck with a few metal wrenches on it, and then a machine gun on the roof, and that's how it was produced.

However, it was also expected that after the Northeast Army entered the customs, food became a big problem, and there were not a few tanks that were originally purchased, and after so many tanks were captured in 918, there were no more left, and they should have stayed with them as a caretaker force. The Northeast Army was able to get the armored car over, which means that this thing can be driven back, and Xia Xinsheng has a few more chances of winning against the Ma Jiajun.

There were twelve cars, and it was no problem to form an armored cavalry battalion, and the cavalry corps didn't use it much after they came. It is estimated that it is of no use at all on the terrain of Wuqi County, so it is simply placed in a centralized manner. Fortunately, the Northeast Army was intimidated by the flying thunder artillery, otherwise if it used this thing to break through, the Red Army did not know how many people it would have to lose to subdue the opponent.

Xia Xinsheng pondered around the armored car for a while, pulled Liu Ding, who was watching strangely on the side, to his side and said, "Minister Liu, do you think we can change this thing?" ā€

Liu Ding looked at Xia Xinsheng blankly and said, "I haven't played with a car, and I don't know what to do with this thing." ā€

Xia Xinsheng gestured and said: "You think, if there is a car here, there must be gasoline barrels, which means that there are flying thunder cannons." But the flying thunder cannon guy is not easy to move, and it is very difficult to prepare, you see if you can get the flying thunder cannon on the roof of the car, I have thought of the name, it is called the self-propelled flying thunder cannon! How's that, majestic, right? ā€

As soon as he heard that there was a big business, Liu Ding excitedly circled around the armored car, thought about it and said: "This seems to be feasible, but the iron sheet of the gasoline drum is too thin to fix, so it has to be tied with an iron hoop." Hurry up and prepare it for us, and I'll try it out. If you have enough time, let's add sights. That's the way it works. ā€

Chen Geng's eyes were short-sighted, but his ears were bright, and he leaned over and said: "The Flying Thunder Cannon is too slow to load, and the time from ignition to launch is too long, I don't know if there is a way to solve it?" ā€

Liu Ding thought for a while and said: "You find some artillerymen to come over and help make some pre-medicine kits, clean up the things in the breech, let's find a soldier who knows carpentry to make a few rake-like things, and then it will be over with a push and a pull, and the launch time is easy to say, just make the lead shorter." None of this is a problem. ā€

Xia Xinsheng patted his thigh and said, "In this case, we will make wood for the gun carriage or something." This will be a lot faster, and we don't have much iron in our hands for you to toss. Besides, when your stove is up, we're all going to go. ā€

Chen Geng's eyes lit up and said, "There is a door like this!" I'm going to find someone, and I'm going to have to hurry up. Before the words were spoken, the man had already run out.

In other words, the central authorities have not yet discussed the specific plan for the use of the cavalry corps, and a new telegram has arrived at the central authorities. The chairman pinched the telegram and looked at it, handed it to the others without speaking, and walked to the map himself and smoked quietly.

After circulating it again, I felt very tricky about this matter. Bogu first said: "After all, the central government is now facing a siege of multiple fruit armies. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to send troops out now? ā€

The commander-in-chief smiled helplessly and said, "Xia Xinsheng has given us a problem this time." If we go, we ourselves are still in danger, and we don't know when we will break the siege. If you don't go, it will be too ruthless, which is not conducive to winning the hearts of the newly surrendered cavalry army! ā€

The vice chairman thought for a moment and said, "Judging from what they reported before, it is not advantageous to fight cavalry with our equipment. What's more, we took the initiative to go to the plains to fight them. They had less than 50,000 troops, and the cavalry army that had come from the new uprising accounted for more than 20,000. I don't know how many Ma Jiajun I have to face, I am really in a dilemma! Moreover, Wu Qizhen must also leave troops to defend. Is it really not a good fit? ā€

The chairman threw the matchbox in his hand on the table and said: "The key to this battle is in the Northeast Army, and I believe there will be no problems in fighting the Ma Jiajun." It's just a question of how to subdue the other two cavalry divisions. We have very few cavalry talents in our hands, and if we go to the infantry generals, we are laymen, and we have no way to control the troops. We really can't afford to have a problem.

However, if the troops can really take Qingyang, then the gate to Xi'an in the south will be kicked open by us. We can even enter Xi'an, if the time is right, we may be able to invite Zhang Shaoshuai over to set up the dragon gate array together! ā€

Commander-in-Chief Zhu said with a smile: "It is estimated that it will be very difficult to invite Young Marshal Zhang over, but as long as we really have a cavalry stationed in the Qingyang area, it is true that he will not be able to sleep and eat." At least there is a great possibility of forcing Zhang Shaoshuai to cease fire with us. Even if he is unwilling to cease fire, he will not dare to divide his troops to fight us again. If you want to force us to be in a hurry, let's just change our home and let him come to Yan*'an, and it's not bad for us to go to Xi*'an to live. ā€

The vice chairman was also attracted by the good situation that could be obtained, and raised his head and asked, "What do the chairman and the boss mean?" ā€

The chairman waved his hand and said: "Then let's fight, we are not afraid of the tens of thousands of troops combined by the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army earlier, and when we look forward to it, we will be laughed at by that kid Xia Xinsheng." Heaven gives it, and so does sin! I have to eat the meat that reaches my mouth. I think I can agree with their battle plan, and tell them that Wu Qizhen doesn't need to be defended. I don't think anyone has the courage to take our Wu Qizhen. It's a big deal to fight Ma Jiajun and then go back to the division and stew them with a spoonful. ā€

Commander-in-Chief Zhu said: "I suggest that in order to strengthen Xia Xinsheng's confidence. Let's tell them clearly that the credit is theirs, and if something goes wrong, a few of our old guys will take this responsibility. Let him be resolute. ā€

"Yes, yes. Since such a big determination has been made, there is no need to worry about trivial things. Send a telegram to them, how to fight, when to fight, we don't care, and we don't have to report it. Xia Xinsheng, Luo Ronghuan, Chen Geng and Xu Haidong made this determination. Comrade Xia Xinsheng is the person who makes the final decision.

Let He Changgong bring some political work cadres from the Military and Political University to the cavalry army to report and strengthen the political work force. At the same time, let Liu Zhi Dan stay in Wuqi County to expand the red and prepare reserve soldiers for the front line. Once Zhang Shaoshuai is obsessed, let's form a large army and go to Xi*'an to eat him! The chairman nodded.
