*************

In the cab, the first thing Chen Yuan saw was two large screens and two small screens, replacing the original windows. The images of the left and right sides of the official train and the front of the train are very clear. This piece of technology, the self-help army is already very mature, so there is nothing to worry about.

At the back of the cab, Chen Yuan saw an iron ladder leading vertically to the roof of the car. So he asked, "Chaogui, this is the ladder to go up to the turret, right?" ”

Wu Chaogui nodded and said, "Yes." ”

After hearing the result, Chen Yuan grabbed the ladder and climbed up without saying a word, and Wu Chaogui and Liu Jinlong also climbed up after him.

"Huh, this space seems to be larger than a normal T-34 tank?" Liu Jinlong, the acting commander of the tank battalion, naturally had an idea of the interior space of the T-34 tank.

"You're right!" Wu Chaogui said with a smug smile: "Now the tank doesn't need power, so we removed unnecessary parts such as the engine, fuel tank, and transmission. One is to reduce the weight, and the other is to increase the space in the cabin after opening up. ”

Liu Jinlong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, this is good, much more comfortable than the original." It turned out that it was crowded with four people. ”

"Can the turret of the tank move now?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Yes!" Wu Chaogui replied: "Although the engine and battery of the tank have been removed, it is directly connected to the power supply of the train, and the operation of the turret is directly powered by the train. Saying that, Wu Chaogui taught Chen Yuan to operate the turret of the tank, and it really rotated freely.

"Well, yes, and the perspective is clear." There are viewing holes on the tank, and the view from the top is very good. Chen Yuan asked, "I just looked at such turrets, there are at least seven or eight on the entire train, right?" ”

Wu Chaogui said with a smile: "More than that, we did 11!" There are 4 at the front of the train, and they are a little higher the further back, so that the front turrets do not block the frontal firing range of the rear turrets. If necessary, 4 guns can fire directly in front at the same time. There are 3 in the middle of the train, mainly attacking from both sides. There are also 4 turrets at the back of the train, which can fire at the sides and rear at the same time. ”

"Eleven!" Liu Jinlong said in surprise: "Obediently, this train, the firepower will reach half of our tank battalion!" ”

Wu Chaogui said with a smile: "Hehe, anyway, our arsenal has so many tanks with power that can't be repaired, but the fire system is really good, and it's a waste to put it away!" ”

"Haha, that's good." Chen Yuan smiled on his face and praised: "Making full use of resources is the greatest virtue now." And the railway line is not necessarily easy, such a firepower is very necessary. And maybe in the future, our armored trains will become an important strategic weapon for us. ”

Chen Yuan explained: "At present, the range of the T-34 tank's artillery is still too close, and if we install some 122 mm caliber or even larger caliber heavy guns on the train in the future, then when we attack the city in the future, the mobility of the artillery will be much greater." ”

"yes!" Liu Jinlong nodded heavily: "Almost all cities above the county level in Huaxia have railways passing by, and with the help of heavy firepower, the troops will be more relaxed." ”

After that, Chen Yuan and the others got off the turret. He then asked Wu Chaogui curiously: "How is the anti-aircraft fire of the train arranged?" I just saw outside that some of the train's carriages have observatory-like semicircular towers, is that anti-aircraft fire? ”

Wu Chaogui replied, "You guessed right." That's the point of anti-aircraft fire! There are 6 in total, two in the front, middle and back of the train. Also go up from inside the train car. Each tower had a six-pack anti-aircraft machine gun. The firing angles ranged from minus 10 to 60 degrees. It can be to the ground or to the air. The tower can be rotated 360 degrees, so it can be operated by one person. ”

Chen Yuan walked towards the carriage of the anti-aircraft fire point behind him, and asked in surprise and curiosity: "Six-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns!" Our self-salvation army has this thing? And you can also attack the ground, which is amazing for my brother! Where did you get that? ”

Although there is no shortage of weapons and equipment for the Self-Rescue Army, there are relatively few types, after all, there is no way to produce them themselves. For example, weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns are not available in the Self-Salvation Army. Not to mention the six-pack anti-aircraft machine gun.

Wu Chaogui said with a smile: "That's not actually an anti-aircraft machine gun, we used parts of the 95 assault rifle to transform. Our anti-aircraft firepower is mainly used to hit flying corpses, and it is mainly defensive, so there is no need to hit too high, the power of 5.8 mm caliber bullets is enough. ”

"Indeed!" Chen Yuan agreed.

Wu Chaogui continued: "We asked for a batch of semi-finished 95 assault rifles from the arsenal, and removed the butt, crosshair, handle, and magazine, which are unrelated to shooting. The six assault rifles were fixed together in groups and a linkage was made at the triggers of the six assault rifles, so that all six machine guns could fire at the same time as long as the rear firing handle was pulled. The ammunition supply has also been changed to a chain feed, with 200 rounds of ammunition per chain, and 1,200 rounds of ammunition for a group of play. ”

"Okay! You can figure it out! Liu Jinlong couldn't help but say with admiration: "And six assault rifles firing at the same time can completely make up for the lack of 95 in the rate of fire." Both ground and air are available, which greatly strengthens the firepower of the train. ”

At this time, they had just arrived at the carriage with an anti-aircraft fire tower on the roof, and Chen Yuan also climbed up to take a look.

The space in the air defense tower is relatively small, and only one person can sit in it. After Chen Yuan came up, Liu Jinlong could only stretch his upper body up.

There was a revolving chair in the air defense tower, and after climbing in through the movable door, Chen Yuan sat on the swivel chair. In front of him is the six-pack anti-aircraft machine gun that Wu Chaogui said, the barrels of the six Senran guns are divided into two rows on the left and right, three each, and there is a handle similar to the Makqin machine gun in the back, which looks quite like that.

From the handle of the machine gun to Chen Yuan's chest, the observatory-like anti-aircraft fire tower also opened a skylight about 40 centimeters wide from here to the top of Chen Yuan's head for observation. However, glass is added to the upper part, which is to protect against the strong acid liquid of the acid corpse.

"Chaogui, how does this work?" Chen Yuan asked loudly.

"Hold on to that handle. Flip the cutout switch down and pull it back to fire, and move the tower left and right to rotate with you. Wu Chaogui's voice came from below.

Of course, Chen Yuan won't move the cutout, but this is in the station. However, he pulled the handle and turned it up and down left and right, and the tower really rotated with it, because there was a booster device, so it was quite relaxed. It's also very flexible up and down.

"Very good." Liu Jinlong, who was leaning out half of his body to watch Chen Yuan's operation, also praised.
