Chapter 766: Arrogance

To the south of Havana, near Batahuano Bay, is a small plain with gentle terrain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis has become an important training ground for the Aurora Corps Army unit. Most of the combat equipment of a battalion that Zhou Qingfeng got from reality was assigned here.

Among them, the 1st Guards Battalion, which is mainly Chinese, and the 2nd Guards Battalion, which is mainly Baltimore survivors, divided this batch of equipment equally. Zhang Hong, who has been promoted to commander of the armored company, is in charge of the expansion and training of the troops.

Zhang Hong is extremely fond of the new equipment, compared with his old T-62A tank, the current batch of Type 59 tanks and Type 63 armored vehicles are more advanced.

Since Zhou Qingfeng only needs an old-fashioned tank, the old 100-mm rifled gun and 520-horsepower engine of the 59 have been retained after careful maintenance. But the requirement that he once mentioned that 'ease of use and simple maintenance' has also been taken seriously.

I really attach great importance to it!

After Xiao Jinlang reported Zhou Qingfeng's request, the Ministry of Defense felt that it saw the warriors in the Middle East and Africa who were 'playing' tanks. The bike charge tactic was created by those guys. For this reason, when maintaining these old 59s, the military factory gave special modifications.

After Zhang Hong received the ten Type 59 tanks of his company, he was stunned to find that there were two wide-screen multi-function displays hanging in the turret, one for the commander and the other for the commander. Through more than 10 hidden cameras distributed outside the car, a 360-degree field of view without blind spots is realized.

Damn, such a modification is too child's play?!

Zhang Hong circled around the tank, and his first reaction was what if these dozen cameras were broken? The second reaction when you get into the car for a test drive is that driving a tank is as easy as playing a game.

It's a bad deal, this is for rookie novices. Really on the battlefield, the reliability of this set of observation equipment is almost zero. If there is a slight problem, the commander and artillery commander still have to go back and use the simple fire control system and laser rangefinder and other earthen turtle equipment.

But I have to say that this set of things is especially suitable for amateur armored units like the 1st Guards Battalion, which have no professional instructors and rely on their own blind and elusive, and the man-machine effect is too good, and the training efficiency is greatly improved. This is truly the 'people-oriented spirit of innovation'.

As a company commander, Zhang Hong's command tank reduced the amount of ammunition and gave him a simple command warehouse. The information of all the armored vehicles in the company will be summarized with him, and as long as it is accompanied by a digital map, the command work will be simplified.

This made Zhang Hong, who didn't know how to command armored warfare at all and was still in a state of desperate learning, breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it has been more than half a month since the equipment arrived at the training ground, but the 1st Guards Battalion has not officially used them. After Zhou Qingfeng returned from Baltimore, he wanted to expand his two guard battalions into a reinforced battalion of 1,000 people, but this plan fell through.

1. No qualified officers.

Second, there are no qualified staff officers.

Three, there is not enough diesel.

Officers and staff officers can make do, but diesel fuel is really not available. In order to get an armored battalion to start, it is necessary to consume several tons of diesel fuel and related combat materials every day if it does nothing. Zhou Qingfeng was stunned for several seconds after reading the training plan made by the General Staff, and finally had to give up.

And now what does Zhang Hong and others rely on to train? A simulated tank converted from a 750 motorcycle. The company's 10 tanks are 10 partial three-wheeled motorcycles, and the four crew members are squeezed in, covered with a turret made of wooden planks, and use large-caliber machine guns to simulate artillery.

"Hahaha...... look at those Chinese are acting again."

"Their car is going to flip, overturn, really overturn."

"This way you can also train tank crews, and God will die of laughter."

On one side of the training ground were the soldiers of the Cuban brigade, which had an absolute superiority in numbers and was much easier to train every day than the Guards battalion. Every time they saw Zhang Hong's tank and motorcycle come out for training in a serious way, they always had to laugh at it.

There are four big men squeezed on three wheels, the space is too small, and an impermeable wooden turret causes the center of gravity to be too high. When it encounters a little bump in the road, it will capsize, and each time it capsizes, the crew of the four tanks will be embarrassed.

At first, these amateur Chinese tank soldiers either scolded each other or went up to fight, and the hot-blooded men could not bear this malicious ridicule.

But after a long time, they ignored it and silently straightened their motorcycles, either out of battle or into the reserves. Anyway, no one wastes energy on this kind of.

"War is not fought by blood, but by death."

"Others will scold, laugh and laugh, as long as we can survive on the battlefield."

"You are all elites, you are seeds, you are the precious wealth of the legion, and each of you has married four mothers-in-law. What are you afraid of when you drop a motorcycle, as long as you master the combat skills, and when our engines turn up and the artillery sounds, those light infantry will only have to eat ashes. ”

Zhang Hong, who has experienced many wars, can also be regarded as a veteran, has experienced a lot of bullets and bullets, killed people and been killed, and has seen the corpses of enemies and participated in the funerals of his comrades. The calm military temperament is getting heavier and heavier on him. To put it bluntly, he has studied how to kill people as a science.

And right next to the tank training ground, the commander of the Cuban brigade, Federo, was leading a group of men to watch the training of the 1st Guards Battalion. Looking at the strange-looking tank motorcycle, he sneered and said: "Your Excellency our corps commander must have a brain problem, we don't need tanks at all."

The security situation in Cuba is the best in almost a hundred years, and there are no forces around us that can threaten us. I've always suggested that you should develop some ordinary infantry, and at most some navy.

Our military director, Katerina, doesn't understand any of this, that Englishman is too young, she's just a mercenary, how can she build an army? She also wanted me to put down my work and go to study at the new military academy, and I would like to say that she was the one who wanted to study. You're right? ”

Brigadier Federo muttered to himself, and behind him were several other high-ranking members of the corps. Among them are Clooney from the 'Enclave' and now in charge of the Legion's foreign affairs, who was once the commander of the 2nd Guards Battalion but recently switched to logistics for health reasons, and his wife Mirta.

The cunning Clooney just smiled at Federo's extravagant rhetoric, disapproving or disapproving; Roma, who followed Zhou Qingfeng to fight everywhere, was not angry, but he didn't say much; And Mirta, who was recently kicked to the 'Cat's Paw' clubhouse, felt very disappointed, and frowned slightly.

"I think we should make a recommendation to the Commander of the Corps to reorganize our military command structure, for example, we should remove Caterina from the position of Military Commander and let a professional soldier take charge of the military force." Federo was clearly talking about himself.

And as the commander of the Cuban brigade who controls the largest number of troops in the 'Aurora Legion', Federo is really qualified to say these things. Compared with the Guards Battalion, which only had a few hundred people, he had more than 5,000 Cuban military personnel under his command, and he was already a faintly important military leader.

A large number of Cuban officers behind him agreed with Federo's remarks, and they all expressed their willingness to speak to the corps commander. Some even suggested that the leadership of the legion should be reshuffled and Federo should be given more important positions.

In response to this remark, Rohm simply said goodbye and left, and Clooney laughed and said that he was not feeling well, and followed. Only Mirta whispered: "Federo, you are crazy! We said okay just to invite these two people to come and go 'cat's paw' to relax, what are you talking about these things for? ”

"Half of the Legion's population of 500,000 are Cubans, and I command the strongest army in the entire Legion. My subordinates are very supportive, so why can't I improve my status?

You see, when you are in charge of the Foreign Trade Division, you are kicked out by an order to run a brothel, and this situation makes me angry and I can't stand it. ”

"Hell, I'm complaining, it's not unacceptable to be reassigned. And your thinking is too dangerous, as long as Victor. As soon as Hugo comes forward, your men will definitely not support you. Mirta's hands and feet were cold, and she felt that her husband was stupider than a pig.

But Federo smiled proudly, "I don't think so, I think Cuba should be Cuban Cuba, and I should ......." ”

Before the great Federo could finish speaking, a herald came running and shouted: "Sir, the commander of the regiment has ordered all officers of the regiment above the company level to go to the Capitol for a meeting. ”

Federo was overjoyed, and he smirked: "I think this is a good opportunity to make a request." (To be continued.) )
