Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1006 Half-track Vehicle

The first thing to be put on the agenda is road maintenance.

For the Eighth Route Army, this is not considered "difficult" at all, because the area from Yuncheng to the north along Luliang Mountain to the Daqingshan base area is the Eighth Route Army's control area, and there are people, troops and guerrillas along the road. 10 people were mobilized.

Moreover, the road construction of these 10 people was carried out at the same time... After the headquarters allocated, which section of a certain village was responsible for which section of a certain brigade was responsible for which section, a section of road with a length of about [-] kilometers was quickly allocated.

To be precise, it cannot be completely called "road building", because there are roads in some places, but the width of the roads is different and the roads are not smooth enough.

The standard for road repair this time is to allow at least one car to pass through.

Because it is conceivable that if Wang Xuexin's idea is to shift the focus of operations to the north, the resources in the Yuncheng area, especially the ammunition, must be able to be transported to the north.

Transportation can be said to be the flaw of the Eighth Route Army. Devils can be transported by trains, freighters, and planes, but the Eighth Route Army can only use manpower, donkeys, horses, or at most cars. This efficiency is not at the same level at all.

The amount of ammunition transported also determines how large an army can be supported in the north and even how big a battle can be fought.

At the meeting, some people also considered this issue, and some people suggested: "Why don't we directly set up the military factory in the north?"

Then came the problem... Only Yuncheng has the copper mines used to produce bullets. Even if the factory is located in the north, the copper and iron have to be transported hundreds of kilometers north.

If you pay attention to transportation efficiency and cost, you must build a railway.

But at this time, the Eighth Route Army did not have so much money to build the railway, and secondly, the air control was limited.

Therefore, this matter can only be put on hold for now, and the road is still suitable for the Eighth Route Army.

Mao Xiong's transaction was as smooth as Wang Xuexin guessed.

As soon as Lemonokov heard Wang Xuexin said that he needed T26 and half-track vehicles, he agreed without saying a word.

For Mao Xiong, he doesn't like to use these two items, and driving them on the battlefield is almost a death penalty. For Mao Xiong, half-track cars can be used in winter, and in other seasons, they are basically put in the warehouse for mice to eat... …

Maoxiong's geographical environment is quite special. It is very cold in winter and is covered with ice and snow. Half-track vehicles are needed to transport equipment and ammunition.

However, once the ice and snow melted in spring, there were swamps everywhere. The half-track car itself was too heavy and too slow, so it was far less practical than a car.

On the other hand, Mao Xiong's mobile troops are still widely using cavalry, an obsolete unit.

This is also determined by the special climatic conditions of the bear and its own situation.

In swamps and snow-covered terrain, mechanized troops are often not as fast as cavalry.

Therefore, in the modern movie "Battle of Moscow", there is a picture of Mao Xiong launching a counterattack with cavalry, which is a reflection of the real battlefield.

On the contrary, tanks and cars... They are frozen and unable to start in winter, or cannot be driven due to lack of fuel. Hans' mechanized troops have suffered enough in this regard.

In fact, what is more important is that Mao Xiong's tactical thinking is backward and he did not expect to develop in the direction of mechanized troops... Mao Xiong even distributed the use of tanks to the infantry as equipment to assist the infantry in attacking, instead of using tanks, Armored vehicles and half-track vehicles are used intensively to form a mechanized force with strong offensive power and fast speed.

For these reasons, Mao Xiong didn't pay much attention to the development of half-track vehicles. Wang Xuexin wanted it, so it was just right, and immediately transported [-] vehicles, even repair parts and a group of maintenance personnel to Huaxia by train.

On the contrary, it was "pull 5", Mao Xiong was a little reluctant, and made excuses to delay from time to time.

It was only later that Wang Xuexin learned that this was actually because Mao Xiong's counterattack on the front line was not going well, and Moscow realized that the war situation was urgent, so it hesitated.

This is what Lemonokov told Wang Xuexin.

"Comrade Wang Xuexin!" When Lemonokov handed Wang Xuexin the "La 5" list, he said: "Because of changes in the domestic war situation, the Supreme Deputy Commander hopes to deliver 'La 5' later, or we simply use T26 Or half-track cars instead, even a production line, what do you think?"

This is a good plan.

T26 and half-track vehicles and their production lines may be very advanced things for the Eighth Route Army, but these things are either eliminated or too backward in the world. The reason why the Eighth Route Army chooses them is "better than nothing". , How could it be possible to give up the advanced and practical fighter "La 5" for this reason.

Wang Xuexin replied: "Comrade Lemonokov, if this is the case, what do you think if we change the 'High Fire' and X1 into rocket launchers and bazookas?"

"No, no..." Lemonokov hurriedly replied, "Let's stick to the originally negotiated terms of the deal!"

Just kidding, what Mao Xiong wants is the technology of "High Fire" and X1 and seeks to imitate it. Now it is replaced by rocket launchers and bazookas...

Wang Xuexin also saw Mao Xiong's careful thinking, so as long as the "La 5" is not delivered for a day, the "High Fire" and X1 will not be released, even if the T26 and half-track cars arrive.

The first to arrive were the half-track cars.

When Wang Xuexin saw it for the first time, he almost cried because of its appearance. This thing is not only a combination of a car and a tank track, but also a combination of a car and a track.

Half-track vehicles in other countries are said to be a combination of cars and tracks, so some necessary improvements can be made in appearance to increase its practicality and defense.

But Mao Xiong's half-tracked car...it just put the car and the track together, that is, changed the wheels of the second half of the car into tracks.

Along with this batch of half-track cars was a second lieutenant Mao Xiong named Alexei with a mustache. I can't wait to use one person as two.

As soon as Alexei saw Wang Xuexin, he asked a little strangely: "Comrade battalion commander, with all due respect, what do you use this kind of car for? Is it snowing here? Is there a thick layer of snow? There is a lot of supplies needed." transportation?"

In Alexey's mind, the role of this vehicle was limited to transporting supplies on thick snow.

use it for combat...

Just kidding, rifle bullets can penetrate the cockpit glass at any time and kill the driver.
