Chapter 132: Machinery
In April 1706, when snow was still falling on the Great Khing'an Mountains, the Jitong Line across the Lesser Khing'an Mountains was finally opened under the concentrated efforts of the Republic. Since the Shanhaiguan in the Beijing-Tianjin area was cut off by the fleet artillery of Hai Song, the connection between Northeast Asia and the Chinese mainland was once again opened. The strategic significance of the construction of this railway is enormous.
Truckloads of wagons of supplies were quickly transported from Kannai to Tohoku here. 200,000 North China troops entered the northeast. At the same time, in April, on both sides of the Heilongjiang River, steam engines began to drag steel plows to turn over the black soil on both sides of the Heilongjiang River. Spring ploughing began. The crop is very simple, 500 million kilograms of corn seeds, sown.
In January 1861, Moulton read a paper at the Technical Society, "The Power Used in Agriculture", according to his calculations, the use of steam engines to plough the land can greatly save horses, and its efficacy and quality are not comparable, not to mention the problem of human power competing with steam power or horsepower. So this winter, the Northeast Workers' and Peasants' Union has been building cultivated land tractors. This kind of tractor, the various structures are stupid and stupid. The speed of advance is not fast, but the steel boiler brute force comes up, and it is much faster than the speed of cattle and horses plowing the land.
If you want to talk about the application of American-style mechanized agricultural production to the land of China, the wild alpine zone of Northeast China is the most suitable. Now under the rule of the Northeast Workers' and Peasants' Alliance, the peasants who used to occupy a piece of land in the Northeast do not exist, and now they are more like workers who control agricultural machinery, after an hour of steam engine coal and water heater, the thick steam force pushes the large cogs of forged steel, and the wide tracks slowly move forward, deeply inserted into the soil, steel plows, and under the friction of the soil, flash the color of metal. From time to time, tree roots try to block this mechanical force, the steel plough that ploughs the ground breaks due to resistance, and there are also huge and clumsy steel gears in a steam engine that suddenly fail to bite, and sparks and unpleasant noises come out of the violent friction. I had to change parts for the steam engine almost every day, but compared to the difficulty of serving the machine, it was always easier than plowing the land yourself.
Seeing the spectacular scene of the steam tractors advancing in a row on the field, Ren Di somehow moved from the brain hole to the picture of the armored division, well, this steam tractor is up to standard when it is welded to the steel plate, but now it is advancing on a flat field, if you encounter a trench, you can't climb out if you fall directly into it, you still have to kneel.
Steel is still very valuable now, and most of the anchors in a surprise position are on the enemy's position, this kind of tyrant capital, Ren Di does not have it now. The entire Heilongjiang spring ploughing was fought as a battle, and the first task of the army from North China to the northeast was to cultivate the land, and the food problem was solved, so that it could be consumed by the republican army in the northeast.
On the other hand, Hai Song did not have the ability to organize such an event. Since March, large quantities of grain have been transported directly from overseas, and a policy of local grain collection has been adopted. The consequence of this policy is the direct migration of at least 8 million people from the south to the north in Liaoning Province. And as a result of the guerrilla warfare of the Republican army in Anshan, Fushun, a large number of miners were released. Therefore, in May this year, the industry and agriculture in Liaoning began to stop. The substance that Hai Song was now able to obtain in the Northeast Occupation Zone gradually began to decrease.
This is the problem of management, in the arduous and excellent war, the material and manpower of that force are lacking, at this time only the wartime system, can organize the most effective production, and use its own materials to drive manpower as much as possible to play the greatest role. The coal mines of Fushun began to mine in full force one winter, supplying the fertilizer and ammunition supplies below. Plus the opening of the Tongliao artery. Ren Di now has two stable strategic rears in the northeast, one is the Nenjiang Plain north of the Songhua River, and the other is Tongliao and Yidong relying on the Great Xing'an Mountains. As Ren Di mastered a growing population, grain production and emerging industrial output gradually overwhelmed Shenyang, which had been largely shut down, and victory was only a matter of time.
But all this can't stand the willfulness of the elders of the Hai Song Dynasty. Since February, the battleship formation of the Hai Song fleet has escorted the two group armies to land in Shandong, cutting off the Republican Army's ability to drop mines on the Bohai Strait. Subsequently, a large number of materials were vigorously transported into Liaoning, and at the same time, Hai Song almost mobilized half of the country's land troops to enter the Northeast Asian islands for training. Subsequently, these troops were gradually transported to the northeast. The total amount of materials mobilized by Hai Song was terrifying.
At the same time, Bei Liang and Chang Shengchong, looking at the high-speed full-tracked chariot in front of them, Hai Song's gang did not take a detour at all, and the British Empire's nomadic tank tank did not appear in history. The tanks produced by Haisong were five teams of load-bearing wheeled tanks with a directly rotating semicircular turret. It looks like a statue of the 59 True Nyima from the early stage of the Rendi plane. Zhao Weiguo can't open tank technology here, and Hai Song's technology reserves are enough.
The rotating turret tank quickly climbed over the obstacle, galloped through the two-meter-high obstacle, and then spun the tracks on the steel body, spun from mid-air and fell heavily to the ground, and the dust from the shock wave of the collision between the tracks and the ground dispersed backwards as the tank hit the ground at a rapid speed. The turret turned the 60-millimeter rifled gun, aimed at the target 500 meters away, and hit the target house with one shot, the wall was directly shattered, and the huge fragmented cracks spread to all parts of the house by the impact bullet holes in tens of microseconds, and then, the energy of the shock wave got rid of the limitation of the crack spreading line, and directly flew towards the surroundings with fragments and smoke.
Chang Shengchong proudly introduced the data of this weapon: "The weight is 26.8 tons, the crew is 4 people, the engine horsepower is 380 horsepower, the highway speed is 40 kilometers per hour, the off-road speed is 35 kilometers per hour, and the off-road range can reach 320 kilometers after hanging the auxiliary fuel tank." ”
At this time, in order to educate Ren Di, the turtle, Hai Song can be said to have brought out the latest weapons. This tank symbolizes the highest technology of the Haisong mass production of armored forces. For the Northeast Campaign, Hai Song prepared 864 such tanks, as well as 220 self-propelled guns of the same territory.
After looking at the performance of the tank, Bei Liang looked at the combat mode of the tank battle with a serious face, assaulted and quickly assaulted, and then, with the assistance of the on-board radio, he made a unified detour to the rear to cut off the enemy's rear road. This is the tactic of World War II operations in the Rendi plane.
If this world is a mission world, the Republican Army has successfully broken through all the way, forcing out the most difficult challenge of Hai Song, the big boss, in land warfare. The maintenance of thousands of tanks could not hide the Republican Army's spies in the northeast. When this sketch out of the steel monster pattern appeared. Ren Di was in a state of aphasia for three seconds.
The armored vehicles are distributed in a cluster, which indicates that the Haisong is ready for centralized use. Such a fast and invincible assault force on the Northeast Great Plain means that Ren Di is proud of the sports war, and it is very likely that he will be abused by the opposite side because of the lack of movement speed. There are no famous generals in this world, only military commanders who are more adapted to the changes of war. How many generals who were familiar with military theory in military schools were finally caught off guard by the sudden changes in the war and suffered a crushing defeat.
Ren Di felt that Hai Song was going to take his own sacrificial knife. At the same time, it was Zhao Weiguo who also got the attack that Hai Song was about to launch, and gave Ren Di a telegram and asked, "Can you fight?" ”。
Zhao Weiguo, who was in Zhengzhou, quickly got a call back from Ren Di: "I'm trying to win." After reading Ren Di's telegram, Zhao Weiguo showed a weird smile on his face, and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that most of the difficulty of this promotion task is borne by a reserve. Then Zhao Weiguo sent a telegram to Ren Di: "Remember to come back alive, you still have a lot of deserve from me"
The words between the evolution officers could not be spoken explicitly. Ren Di's performance has already made Zhao Weiguo wait for him. At this time, there is no subordinate relationship. Zhao then signed a secret document that allowed Ren Di to use all weapons to fight back in what he thought was a crisis, including chemical weapons. However, after Ren Di received this report, he burned it. The original document issued by Zhao Weiguo was also burned after the Northeast Campaign, and did not give future generations a chance to declassify it.
In May, when the republican army completed the spring ploughing in Heilongjiang, the Northeast Workers' and Peasants' Alliance led by Ren Di issued an order to clear the fields of the Jilin region on a large scale, and all the people retreated, and by the way, the city of Changchun was burned, leaving not a single house or grain of grain. As for Ren Di's feeling that a big war was about to break out in Hai Song before, even the spring plowing in Jilin was not carried out, leaving a land that was empty and desolate enough.
In the spring, the northeast permafrost was opened, and the ground was muddy, so the reason why he felt the behavior of the republican army, Hai Song Beiliang still did not launch an attack at this time. However, the whole world understands that the war in the Northeast is likely to be decided this year.
This war will completely expose the scientific and technological power of Hai Song, the big boss, and pay attention to the Northeast War. The travelers of the North American continent soon received the news that Hai Song was preparing armored forces. It's funny to say that armored forces have appeared in this world for the first time, and the warring sides and the world's three major scientific and technological forces have already paid attention to the effectiveness of this weapon that has not yet been verified in actual combat on this plane. It's all prophetic fellows. Well, this also makes this war a lot more boring, and the emergence of a new weapon in history can often make a stunning appearance without restraint weapons and without effective countermeasures.
Mingus was also shocked by the technology that Hai Song came up with, and the tank that Hai Song took out was a diesel engine. Mingus is also now preparing its armored forces, and has already trial-produced several hundred prototypes, albeit with gasoline engines. Judging from the current point of view, the tank that Hai Song came up with seems to be stronger than the tank made by Mingus, both in terms of speed and size. In other words, the difficulty of this task is also difficult for the level of technology that Mingus has. The retirement mission is not simpler than the promotion mission, and evolution is not a place to come and go.
Looking at the report in the northeast, Mingus said: "It seems that the yellow officer on the other side is about to face the final hurdle. Callante said, "Teacher, when are we going to launch?" Mingus said, "Wait first, let the people of the Son of Heaven Alliance make our mission a little less difficult." ”
