Chriss's appearance surprised Zhou Changfeng, how could she be here?

"Who sent you?"

"It's just a coincidence, I have six months of field assignments in Baku."

"That's a coincidence." Zhou Changfeng said with a smile.

Also surprised was Xia Xiaoshi, she naturally remembered this foreign girl who had come to visit, and her thoughts diverged all of a sudden.

Colonel Georg, chief of staff of the Red Eagle Army's Apsheron Battle Group, was greeted by Colonel Georg, a chubby officer who was diametrically opposed to stereotypes.

After the two sides exchanged salutes, he spoke: "Welcome, the plane to Kyiv can depart tomorrow, if you wish." ”

"Sabotage squad?"

"What?"

The thoughtful Chrissy nodded and hesitated, "Attacking you?" It's a risk, but don't worry, we'll keep you safe. ”

Xia Xiaoshi and the two ministers' wives were in the same car, Zhou Changfeng got into the Horch 901 officer car, and Chrissy temporarily acted as an interpreter in the passenger seat.

Looking into the distance, I saw slender gun barrels pointing diagonally into the sky, and those were the Flak36 88mm and Flak38 105mm heavy anti-aircraft guns.

Chrissy naturally appreciated it, and knew that the two were indeed good designs, which could give the lives of the warriors an extra layer of security.

"It's the infiltrators who parachuted into the country." Chrissy said calmly: "The British airdropped a lot of these guys through bombers, and they carried radio stations and binoculars to guide bomber attacks and report on the bombing effect. ”

Although she didn't know why, Chrissy instructed the driver to turn around and chase after her.

Less than an hour after the departure of the airliners, radars deployed in Baku detected the incoming bomber formation.

An A-20 tank and two A-32 tanks were quietly parked on the flatbed, covered with rust, some of the tracks had fallen off, and the driving wheels of one car were missing.

After a while, the off-road vehicle that Zhou Changfeng was riding drove into the train station.

The delegation then followed, and learned that Zhou insisted on buying three piles of scrap iron, and Li Zhijie, who was the deputy of the delegation, stopped talking.

However, the generals suddenly changed their minds, disgusted that the target set at that time was too low, and further demanded that they could withstand the fire of 45mm anti-tank guns at close range and the fire of 75mm field guns at long distances, and the firepower should also be increased.

If mobility is not sacrificed, then you can't blindly thicken the armor, so how to exchange the minimum armor thickness for the maximum bulletproof effect?

The convoy turned left onto Avenue 16, the motorcycle turned, the SUV turned, the bus turned, and just as the armored car began to turn, a sudden change occurred!

Several objects were suddenly thrown from the side, and in an instant, there was a loud burst of gunfire, and those objects exploded after falling to the ground!

"Boom! Rumble! ”

In the end, he hesitated: "Although I don't know what you think about Zhou Zhizhao, there should be no disadvantages, buy it!" ”

The Apsheron battle group is named after the Apsheron Peninsula where Baku is located, and the unit has 1 mountain division, 1 motorized rifle regiment, 2 separate armored battalions, 2 light anti-aircraft artillery battalions, 13 heavy anti-aircraft artillery batteries, and a large number of support units, with a total strength of more than 30,000.

The latter sneered at the British army, and proudly introduced that in December last year, the British 50th Infantry Division and the South African 1st Infantry Division attacked Baku, but they were heavily damaged by the 4th Mountain Division and the 33rd Infantry Division in the Sylvan area, losing more than 5,000 troops and retreating in disarray, and the two divisions of the Red Eagle Army suffered only more than 1,000 casualties.

But none of this has anything to do with the Ming Mission and the Observation Mission.

"Okay."

The game of spear and shield has never stopped, and the bomber formations of the Royal Air Force have come to find fault every now and then, and with the recent arrival of the US Army in Damascus, the enemy is no longer limited to the Wheatley MkII, but also the B-17.

The delegation stayed at the airport for a while, waiting for the arrival of the foreign mission.

However, the main opponent of the Ming army was the Anglo-Indian army, and there were differences between these servant armies and the genuine British army, so there was no forced comparison.

Zhou Changfeng laughed, pointed to his head with his index finger and said, "The head should be more important than the beauty." ”

"No, there are radio direction finders and military dogs, and it's not difficult, so they're all dead."

Colonel Georg believed that the British infantry was well-trained and the artillery was quick to react, but the command system had obvious shortcomings, and the quality of the officers and subordinates was generally average, so it was not difficult to defeat them.

Thinking that she had misheard, Chrissy turned her head and asked, "Chasing trains?" ”

The German garrison in the Baku area can be said to be selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, nominally all under the sequence of the Red Eagle Army, a volunteer army, but in fact a complete tactical cluster of regular troops.

Zhou Changfeng also got his wish and saw what had passed by in a flash-T-34 medium tank...... The predecessor, as well as the predecessor of the predecessor.

The soldiers stationed there did not trouble them, and after checking Chrissy's papers, they let them go.

The convoy drove through the streets of Kiev's western district, and Zhou Changfeng felt that although the city was not threatened for the time being, the citizens were a little panicked and walked in a hurry.

The air raids you are accustomed to are coming again!

Suddenly, the air defense sirens sounded throughout the city, the soldiers rushed to their respective battle positions, and several fighter planes on standby at the airport had begun to taxi......

"The British and Americans have carried out 34 air strikes, and we have shot down 260 bombers, but the bombs they dropped still have a big impact." Colonel Georg introduced.

The train began to slow down, whistling its whistle as it prepared to enter the station.

"The British always like to do this kind of thing, sneaking around, it should be troublesome to pursue these squads, right?"

Foreign missions and military missions did not stay in Baku for long, which was a key target of the British and American air forces, and was at constant risk of air strikes, so it was not advisable to stay for long.

Yesterday in Baku, although there are frequent air raids, the citizens are clearly calm and calm, and this difference is really a bit strange.

The scale of such escorts was uncommon, and was generally only treated by German commissioners and high-ranking generals.

As the convoy drove along the road on the northern outskirts of Baku, oncoming Busin heavy trucks loaded with the wreckage of bombers used for recycling.

Zhou Changfeng agrees with him, the British Army is relatively mediocre, and cannot be compared with the traditional land power countries, even if good industry makes the army have a very high mechanization rate and advanced communication equipment, but the actual combat performance is still not satisfactory, sorry for so many eye-catching vehicles and equipment.

The KPA Weapons Bureau didn't care if it looked good or not, and commissioned the Technical University of Berlin to verify the design. When it comes to life, practicality is paramount.

After initial testing, it was found that its protection capabilities were indeed excellent, so follow-up R&D instructions were quickly issued, requiring the best internal and external design and production processes to be determined for large-scale mass production later.

Zhou Changfeng suddenly smiled and asked the driver's seat in front of him, "Chrissy, what is your mission here?" ”

"Yes, chase it, I seem to see an important tank."

After leaving a few people to negotiate, the delegation continued to their accommodation.

"Can your oil supply be met now?"

The A-20 tank can be understood as a reskinned BT series of fast tanks, which is almost the same in structure, and indeed greatly improves its protection capability on the premise of ensuring mobility, and is not afraid of the mainstream 37mm anti-tank gun.

The end result was the A-32 tank, with 30mm thick frontal armor, 19 tons of empty weight, a 450 hp diesel engine, and a 76.2mm short-barreled gun.

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand the situation in the country."

"My field assignment ended last week and the leave will continue into the next month."

The 23 hp four-cylinder petrol engine of the Volkswagen Type 82 barrel truck was running at full speed, driving the lightweight off-road vehicle to rapid acceleration.

"You want to come with us? But don't you still have a job to do? ”

Captured spies are evaluated after interrogation for use or exchange value, and if not, are immediately executed; The commandos who were dropped by the British army often dressed up as civilians on the Apsheron Peninsula to hide, and were therefore quickly and legally executed even if they surrendered.

"It's just scrapped wrecked vehicles." Chrissy said, looking puzzled.

However, there is a small problem at the moment - the Trans-Siberian Railway is intermittent, and I am afraid that it will take a while to wait and see before it can be delivered.

"Please pack your bags and get ready for dinner."

"We're going to have these tanks." He decided to buy them without hesitation.

The second Youyun-6 passenger plane carrying dozens of diplomats encountered turbulence during its descent, four minutes later than scheduled, but landed safely.

Among the tattered T-26 light tanks and BT-5 fast tanks, Perimeter noticed two different things.

At 16:40 pm local time on October 2, the passenger plane in which Zhou Changfeng and his party were traveling slowly landed in Kiev.

Of course, the damaged tanks left on the battlefield everywhere cannot be wasted, and it is best to repair them, and if they are not repaired, some parts can be recovered, and then the wreckage can be used to make steel.

Their idea was to tilt the armor – based on the BT-7 tank, the shape of the hull and turret was redesigned, and the new A-20 tank was born.

In the previous delegation, we saw many small airships, that is, air-proof balloons, in the sky, and there were glittering reflective points in the mountains and fields in the distance—they were actually the wreckage of downed and crashed British and American bombers.

However, the capabilities of Tsarist Russia were limited to this, and the Kharkov Locomotive Plant was not as large and efficient as the same period in history, and only had time to produce 3 A-20 and 6 A-32 tank prototypes, and a vigorous civil strife swept the entire empire.

The Kharkov Locomotive Plant had to be redesigned, with thicker armor, more powerful engines, tank guns of a larger caliber, and the elimination of flashy wheel-track dual-use mechanisms.

Unlike the red and blue sides in the east, which are still tug-of-war, the situation in Ukraine is slightly better, but the order and law and order are still fragile, and the armed forces composed of various dissidents still come out from time to time to toss.

Chrissy wasn't bragging, and the Stasi was really efficient in that regard.

As for Zhou Changfeng, although he doesn't know if it will help, he will talk about it first.

On the way to the lodging place, a train whizzed by, dragging a large number of flatbed trucks, carrying tanks and armored vehicles to work.

Since returning home last year, the British have dismissed the idea of capturing Baku by land, and have instead sent additional bombers to the French colonies of Aleppo and Damascus in an attempt to paralyze the Baku oil fields by continuing strategic bombing.

Zhou Changfeng nodded and muttered, "How much capacity is left?" ”

"Bang bang—bang—"

Along the way, Zhou Changfeng was talking to Georg about his views on the British army.

Zhou Changfeng praised with a smile, "Then I can rest assured, the British hate me to death, maybe they will send someone to assassinate me." ”

The train, which carried more than two dozen T-26s and BT-5s, was tattered and rusted.

The T-34 is undoubtedly quite good on paper, but the heavy use of inclined armor seriously squeezes the interior space, and the Christie suspension makes the problem worse, so the T-34 is quite crowded inside, and the roaring diesel engine makes the noise high, and the two-man turret also limits combat effectiveness......

"About 45 percent, if the situation doesn't deteriorate further."

"It's simple, the spy who hunts down the British, and the sabotage squad that tracks them."

The Kharkiv Locomotive Plant responded to the military, and they quickly came up with a design plan for this seemingly unrealistic contradictory request.

As a result, the military put forward new design requirements, which had to ensure that the armor of the new tank could withstand the 37mm anti-tank gun and not reduce mobility.

Sloped body, wide tracks, no carrier wheels......

Chrissy was silent and said after a few seconds, "With all due respect, that helmet isn't pretty. ”

The key indicators such as firepower and protection are of course the evaluation criteria, but other design details need to be evaluated and analyzed by professionals.

The next day, four Lufthansa Ju-57 airliners took off one after another and flew leisurely towards Kyiv.

It's best to help, and it's okay if it doesn't help, the cost of this little trial and error is probably less than the little private property of some rats in the Ming Dynasty's mansion.

Even so, she couldn't help but complain that the appearance of the steel helmet was really unsightly, like a coal hopper buckled on her head.

He was sure he hadn't looked away, so he shouted, "Turn right!" Go chase that train! ”

The convoy was fronted by sidebike motorcycles, followed by several off-road vehicles and buses, and finally a truck and an Sdkfz221 armoured vehicle, accompanied by two squads of gendarmes — nominally part of the Red Eagle Regiment.

Zhou Changfeng, who didn't know the ins and outs, thought that this was the famous T-34 tank, and his eyes almost lit up.

Zhou Changfeng casually explained: "I think they are well designed, and this shape should be very suitable for resisting flying shells." ”

"Click!"

Because the Ju-52 is not a pressurized cabin, and the sealing and sound insulation indicators are still at the level of the early thirties, the noise inside is a bit loud.

In the cabin, Zhou Changfeng asked Chrissy in the front seat, "What happened to the gift at that time?" ”

Considering that Chrissy was a fervent idealist, Zhou gave a very chic parting gift at the time, hand-drawing sketches of an M56 steel helmet and a bulletproof vest with steel inserts.

Three years ago, after discovering that the T-26 light tanks and BT-5 fast tanks they had aided the Spanish National Army were vulnerable and ready to fight, the Russian Army was dissatisfied with the situation, and the generals found such tanks to be of great use.

The front windshield of the Volkswagen 82 barrel car in which Zhou Changfeng was riding was shattered on the spot, and there were multiple bullet holes on the body.

Chrissy in the passenger seat hunched over to hide herself, screaming "Scheie" and pulling out her pistol.
