Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1155 Production
In addition, Wang Xuexin also made further improvements on the cab.

The previous cab was closed, which may be necessary for the bears, because the temperature of the bears is very low in winter, and half-track vehicles are more often used for transporting supplies than transporting troops. …the cab can guarantee to some extent that the driver can drive for a long time without being frozen. If the rear compartment is used to transport goods, there is no need to consider the problem of heat preservation. The half-track design can make it not so easy Skid on the snow-covered highway.

But Wang Xuexin used this thing not to transport supplies but to fight.

Although the Northeast is also very cold, the first thing to consider is the issue of combat.

With a wave of his hand, Wang Xuexin removed the top cover of the cockpit on the design drawing.

"The top cover is useless in battle!" Wang Xuexin said: "Not only is it useless, but it will also affect the combat effectiveness!"

Alexey made no objection.

This point has a lot of reflections in the use of Yuncheng Baizhantuan.

The top cover is really useless, because it is a thin sheet of iron several millimeters thick, and the enemy's top-to-bottom attack is usually an aircraft dive or artillery shells, neither of which can be blocked by this thin sheet of iron. liveable.

On the contrary, the top cover and the compartment also blocked the sight and firing angle of the rear combat units, and also blocked the connection between the driver's cab and the rear compartment. More importantly, the large space of the top cover was wasted and unusable. The top cover, the machine gun had to be mounted very high to enable it to hit the enemy in front.

But this will make the center of gravity of the machine gunner too high. One is that it is easy to be thrown under the vehicle when the armored vehicle is overturned, and the other is that it will become an excellent target for enemy snipers.

Wang Xuexin removed the top cover, that is, the cockpit and the rear compartment were connected into one piece, which not only made it easier for the driver to get in the car, but also moved the machine gun position from the rear compartment to the co-pilot position.

In this way, all the previous problems are solved, and the machine gunner can also hide behind the shield to shoot while the center of gravity is lowered, which has a certain degree of safety. At the same time, the reaction speed and shooting angle not only do not decrease, but also increase...the co-pilot The bit-controlled machine gun can better cooperate with the driver to realize the coordination of firepower and armored vehicles.

Although this armored vehicle looks a bit weird, Wang Xuexin believes that it is more and more like a modern fully enclosed armored transport vehicle.

If there is any difference, except that it is semi-open, modern armored vehicles mount machine guns on the top armor.

However, this is not suitable for the Eighth Route Army, at least not for the current industrial base of the Eighth Route Army.

After finishing, Wang Xuexin pushed the design drawing in front of Alexei and asked, "Can it be done?"

"Of course!" Alexei replied with certainty: "In fact, Comrade Commander, these improvements of yours not only did not increase the difficulty of production, but reduced the difficulty of production! Even the materials used are not much more, and the car body is not much more difficult. It will be heavier than before!"

There is nothing wrong with this statement. A drum is added to the front and the roof and compartment of the cab are removed from the rear. Although the side armor is slightly higher, perforations have been dug out, so the weight is indeed about the same.

As for the difficulty of production, the top cover and compartment of the driver's cab are actually very labor-intensive. Now all they need to do is to add two small side doors in the front for the convenience of the driver and co-driver to get on the car. The man-hours and materials used will not increase but decrease.

Alexei couldn't help but praised: "These are very applicable ideas, Comrade Leader! It's just... no one else can think of it first except you!"

Of course.

Wang Xuexin has seen World War II and even modern armored vehicles. The most important thing is that he knows the needs of the battlefield and even has some experience that others do not have... The history of the development of armored vehicles is actually the needs of the battlefield, because that is the improvement made based on battlefield experience. .

In the end, Wang Xuexin set a goal for Alexei to produce [-] such armored vehicles in two months.

Wang Xuexin was allocated in this way. The independent regiment was the main force with [-] vehicles, and the new first regiment and the new second regiment each allocated [-] vehicles.

Assuming that each vehicle can carry ten people, two hundred vehicles can carry 2000 people, and the remaining 1000 people in the independent regiment will take vehicles, tricycles and other means of transportation... It is impossible for mechanized troops to use half-tracks uniformly. Armored vehicles also need other means of transportation as assistance or it can be said to learn from each other's strengths.

For example, although an armored vehicle has strong defense, but the space is small and the carrying capacity is insufficient, this requires a car that has no defense but has space and carrying capacity. For example, the three-wheeled side can be used as a fast reconnaissance unit and a communication unit... It is not always possible. Maybe send a letter to pass an order or something, and drive a half-track armored vehicle, right?

Hearing Alexei's assurance, Wang Xuexin's heart was half relieved.

Before he came, he was worried that the engine production capacity of the automobile factory would not be enough to meet the equipment of the three regiments, but now it seems that this worry seems unnecessary.

What Wang Xuexin didn't know was that Alexei also worked hard to produce [-] armored vehicles in the past two months.

The main problem was the lack of engine production. The engines produced by the newly opened automobile factory originally needed further testing and testing to find out what deficiencies and defects were improved before mass production. However, Wang Xuexin required [-] vehicles in two months.

But Alexei is still very confident to complete this task.

Because not long ago the Eighth Route Army fought a victorious battle, it should be said that it was a big victorious battle... They confiscated the troops of one division of the Devils, the artillery units of two regiments, and the "Human Cao Gaohuo" base.

The infantry of a division was nothing more than a pile of scrap iron before they fled.

However, the artillery bases of the two regiments and a "human high fire" base were taken by the Eighth Route Army, and the devils had no time to blow up the equipment.

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army seized a total of 230 vehicles and 180 side fighting motorcycles.

These more than 200 vehicles can be converted into half-track vehicles only by adding Maoxiong parts and modifying them. The other more than 100 vehicles are selected from a batch of engines produced in the factory in good condition.

It's just that there will be a problem, that is, the half-track vehicles that will be delivered at that time will have two systems... one is the devil's and the other is the bear's, and the devil's car engine and so on are imported from Yingjiang Technology is not the same thing as Mao Xiong's.

But Wang Xuexin thinks it doesn't matter much.

"We already have a lot of Devil's cars in our hands!" Wang Xuexin replied: "There are many people who can repair Devil's cars. At that time... At worst, we will use all the half-track cars with Devil's engines for the independent regiment, so that our logistics personnel It's also easy!"
