Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 273 Finally Got a Tank
Back to June 6st, Shanxi Wusu Airport.

Escorted by a pair of Hurricane fighter jets, an air train transport plane slowly lowered its altitude through the clouds.After the pilot adjusted the landing angle, he lowered the rear tricycle landing gear without hesitation.

"Squeak!"

The tires touched the concrete runway, and the sound of friction resounded throughout the audience.The transport plane gradually slowed down, and finally stopped firmly on the outermost apron.

After the Eighth Route Army successfully captured the major airports around Taiyuan, it immediately started comprehensive construction and expansion work.

The comrades not only replaced the original soil runway with a concrete runway, but even doubled the overall floor space.

Nowadays, the throughput of various airports is no longer what it used to be. As long as there are enough ground crews, the pre-war preparation efficiency of all the aircraft of the First Air Division can be guaranteed.

After a while, the large hatch on the left side of the air train fuselage was pushed open from the inside.

A man wearing a five-piece suit for civilian cadres in the border area jumped out of the belly of the aircraft while rubbing his shoulders.

Although the captain of this flight was a senior pilot of the First Air Division, the experience of flying a military transport aircraft during World War II was not very good.

After all the crew members got out of the cabin, the nearby ground crew immediately surrounded them.They need to refuel the three planes in the shortest possible time and check all possible risks.

After sending the Yellow River to Taiyuan, the soldiers of the First Air Division had to go thousands of miles to the Hubei-Henan border area to participate in the upcoming battle in the mountain city.

"Old Huang! Long time no see! I really miss me!"

"Didn't expect that the head of a regiment directly under my army would come to the airport to greet you in person. Looking at our entire Eighth Route Army, there are definitely no more than twenty people who can enjoy this kind of treatment!"

"Come, come, let me see how your life in the border area is going, whether you have gained weight or lost weight."

Hearing his voice before seeing him, it is still a familiar formula with a familiar taste.

Today's Commander Li is a little different from the past. He did not wear the traditional gray uniform of the Eighth Route Army, but chose a new grass-green uniform that belongs to the First Marine Regiment.

This new outfit was independently designed by the Jindongnan Logistics Department, and it was specially designed for the First Marine Regiment to better deal with the battle in the Suiyuan area in the future.

Coupled with sunglasses and a pipe that I don’t know where I got it, it looks like the central character on the cover of a 7+ coloring game.

Since the farewell after the Hundred Regiments War, the two have not seen each other for more than seven months.Now that old friends are reunited, it is natural to be deeply moved.

Seeing the fellow come off the transport plane, Captain Li immediately gave him a warm hug.

After handing the briefcase under his arm to Wang Dexing, Huang He also patted Lao Li's sturdy back.

"Li Yunlong, I heard that you are doing well now, congratulations on your promotion and fortune!"

"It seems that your parachute troops made a lot of contributions in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. You must have killed a lot of high-ranking devils at the level of major general and lieutenant general. According to the current situation, will you be called Marshal Li in a few years? ?”

"Don't tell me, your outfit is much more stylish than McCaesar."

Although he didn't know who McCaesar was talking about at the mouth of the Yellow River, he could tell that the other party was making fun of him just by the tone of his voice.

After hearing the word promotion, Li Yunlong immediately became frowning, as if everyone owed him 50 Reichsmarks.After all, some time ago, the brigade commander and the deputy commander made fun of him a lot.

"Go, go, what kind of official promotion! Conscience of heaven and earth, don't talk nonsense!"

After a while of pushing and shoving, Lao Li first greeted the comrades of the First Air Division, and then took Huang He straight to the parking lot on the left side of the hangar.

As the darling of the deputy commander-in-chief, the First Marine Regiment was equipped with a large number of trucks seized from the Devil's First Army.

This time, in order to quickly and safely send the Yellow River to the headquarters, Captain Li directly dispatched [-] vehicles from the regiment. The combat effectiveness can definitely match the most elite motorized troops in the European battlefield.

During the chat, the convoy has arrived in the suburbs.

Since the Eighth Route Army regained the lost ground, the entire Jin Province has ushered in a wave of economic recovery.As a provincial capital city, even the outskirts of Taiyuan have gradually become very prosperous.

The two looked at the endless stream of common people, with a smile from the bottom of their hearts on their faces.

"Old Huang, I, Li Yunlong, could not have come this far without your supervision."

"If you hadn't told me about the importance of learning in the logistics department last year, the limit of our old Li's life is probably to be an ignorant and incompetent head of the mud leg."

"As for the paratroopers, I don't even dare to think about it. After finishing our business in a while, we have to have a good drink."

The sudden outpouring of true feelings made Huang He stunned for a second, but after all, Huang is also a person who has seen big storms, and he quickly adjusted his emotions.

Looking at Li Yunlong who was driving, he patted the other person on the shoulder.

"They're all my own people, so it's a little strange to say these words."

"Old Li, you must remember one thing, that is, life is endless and learning is endless. When I come to Shanxi this time, I have prepared a few good things for you Marine Regiment."

"Huh? Still have to learn?"

······
Amidst the laughter, the motorcade arrived at the new location of the headquarters.

After seeing the logo of the First Marine Regiment, the guards let them go without stopping.

This place was originally Yan Laoxi's governor's mansion, and it was once the commander's headquarters of the second war zone in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.After the fall of Taiyuan, the puppet soldiers took a fancy to the local Fengshui and specially set up the administrative office here.

Originally, the deputy commander-in-chief preferred to move the new location of the headquarters to Yoshio Iwamatsu's First Army Command.

It's a pity that Cheng Xiazi attacked too hard at the beginning, coupled with the excessive firepower of the 772 regiment when they attacked, they accidentally blew up the entire building complex into ruins.

In desperation, the boss had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and tearfully chose a ready-made office space covering an area of ​​35110 square meters.

After getting off the car, they walked through the gatehouse, the front yard building and Yuanyi Hall under the leadership of the guards, and finally came to the Meishan Conference Hall.

Here is a classic western structure with Chinese decoration.When Yan Laoxi was the ruler of one side, he often used it to hold important meetings or receive high-level guests.

At that time, the ideological crusaders also discussed the details of the joint anti-Japanese war with the masters of existentialism several times here.

Knowing that the Yellow River was going to come to Shanxi from the border area, the deputy chief of staff specially ordered the cooking team to prepare for the reception.

As soon as Huang and Li entered the room, they saw that the table was already covered with all kinds of hard dishes, and there was even a pot of good tea that smelled very expensive.

"Hahaha, let's see who is back! How about it, the atmosphere in our Taiyuan City is not worse than that in the border area."

"Eat something first, the journey must be very hard. Don't worry, kid, the ingredients for this meal are all prepared by us. The most valuable tea is also a spoil captured by the puppet army."

"How long are you going to stay this time? You are now the director of the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau, and you should be very busy with your work on weekdays."

After receiving the teacup handed over by the deputy chief of staff, Huang He greeted everyone one by one.

Everyone is old acquaintances, not to mention that the Eighth Route Army does not have those cumbersome etiquette.After a while, he took old Li and happily sat beside Zhang Wanhe.

"I'm coming back this time mainly to do business. I'll stay for about seventy days."

"It's the first time I've come to Taiyuan, and I don't know much about the city. But I can see hope and longing for life from the faces of every common people."

"Very well, I like the energy in everyone."

"Haha, well said! This is why we work so hard!"

The tea is over thirty, and the dishes are over the five flavors.

Of all the people here, only Commander Li Datuan is a purely combat sequence member, and the rest of you are all leaders in the Eighth Route Army, so they naturally started discussing the real business.

After everyone came to a clean table, the deputy chief of staff took out a panoramic map of Shanxi.

"Huang He, you should be clear about our army's strategic arrangement for the next stage."

"From August last year to the present, the army has fought two and a half major battles in less than a year. The most important task now is to recuperate."

"Soldiers need to digest the harvest, and the three bases must also complete the infrastructure work in the province as much as possible."

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

Nowadays, except for the Zhongtiao Mountain area, the Eighth Route Army can basically occupy the entire Shanxi Province, and the construction of various infrastructures is naturally the top priority.

Not to mention, the broken roads in Northwest Shanxi alone are enough to cause headaches for all commanders and fighters.

The road conditions there are barely enough to drive a mule cart.None of the trucks currently in the army are capable of unimpeded traffic.

Once a major famine occurs, it will be inconvenient to distribute food in a short period of time.Not to mention any military mobilization, or actions like going north to attack the Mongolian army.

The railway in the province is also a big problem. Due to Yan Lao Xitu's operation like an emperor, the Eighth Route Army must now reroute the Tongpu Railway and the Zhengtai Railway.

This is a big project, requiring a lot of manpower and financial resources.

After the plan was formally proposed, Zhang Wanhe, who was in charge of logistics, stood up from the stool and offered his views to everyone present.

"It's not too difficult to reroute the railway. With our current industrial level, it doesn't even take too long to get the railway track. And there are many displaced people in the province. We can fully implement the policy of work-for-relief."

"However, road construction is a bit troublesome. Take Northwest Shanxi as an example. There are mostly mountainous areas. The most feared road construction in mountainous areas is landslides during road opening, which is very prone to safety accidents."

"Based on manpower alone, it is estimated that many people will die. We need to have a long-term plan and try to come up with a lower-cost plan."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately frowned.

There is nothing to say about the railway. After all, Shanxi was one of the earliest provinces with a main railway line in the Republic of China.The foundation itself is good, and it is only a matter of time before the successful reorientation.

Roads are very troublesome, and hills and mountains account for more than [-]% of the province's area.Road repair is not only costly, but also has many inconveniences.

Zhang Wanhe just made the stakes very clear. Given the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, it is basically impossible to repair the road at low cost.

While everyone was still brainstorming, Huang He silently stood up from his seat and made a shocking proposal.

"How about we try to use tanks to build roads? I thought, this plan is quite reasonable."

Hearing the word tank, everyone present had different reactions.

As the person who brought the Yellow River back from France, Zhang Wanhe has always believed that his fellow countrymen would never lie.As long as he said there were some new weapons, he definitely wasn't aimless.

Although the troops have tanks, their combat effectiveness will definitely soar.But as the head of the logistics department, adding a new property means that the pressure on their logistics department will be greater.

As for the commanders, after learning that the troops will soon have tanks, they are more excited.

In the early years when there were no anti-tank weapons and the air force, I was really bullied by the devils' small pudding tanks.Every time we face the enemy's poor infantry and tank coordination, we can only deal with it with tactics and human lives.

Once one's own side has tanks, coupled with the air supremacy provided by the First Air Division, the scene should not be too beautiful.

"Yellow River! Don't be foolish, let me quickly introduce the basic data of the new weapon. How does the tank you mentioned compare with the Devil's Type [-] light tank?"

"What is the caliber of the main gun? How thick is the armor? Will the power hold back the infantry?"

"Based on the production capacity of our extended oil plant, how many tanks can be supplied to appear on a battlefield at the same time?"

Facing the question of the military god like a cannonball, Huang He silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Don't look at the teacher who is usually amiable, and sometimes jokes with the brigade commander Li Yunlong.But being stared at by that eye at a critical moment, even a person with the best psychological quality will feel guilty.

"Actually, the tanks I just mentioned are not the armored forces used by the army in the strict sense."

"Its name is Cicada, and it is an airborne tank specially designed for the first regiment of the Marine Corps. However, its performance meets the requirements of road construction, so I made the hypothesis just now."

Logically speaking, there is only one way to obtain tanks by waking up the brave tiger system, and that is to activate related decisions about Tokusan or North Maoxiong.

Since it takes half a year to unlock the "domestic fighter production", the above-mentioned road cannot be walked in a short time.

However, when Huang He checked the new scientific research project, he accidentally discovered that paratrooper technology could unlock the production authority of airborne tanks.

"Paratrooper Type III: Learning to adjust airborne operations according to terrain changes, standardizing advanced equipment such as airborne tanks, can minimize the risk of airborne missions.

Time required for the study: 70 days.

Effect: The military factories in the system can produce C47 skytrains and M22 cicada airborne tanks, and obtain corresponding production lines and drawings.

Obtain the unlock permission of the C54 Skymaster strategic transport aircraft and the Hamilcar heavy glider. "

Hmm, it's fine.

Whether it is the cicada, the overlord of the sky and Hamilka, they are all high-tech that came out after 1942.Now that I figure it out first, I can save a lot of money for a production license.

　There are no twin-engine fighter jets and tactical bombers yet, and four-engine transport planes are arranged first.

　　Super Enhanced Version of Cloud Dragon Skyfall!Prairie drag racing ready!
