"Marshal, these two big guys are really good, we should also build a few columns!"

Surrounded by two Russian armored trains, Sun Anhu marveled: "This thing has strong firepower and is easy to deal with infantry. It can also play a role in guarding the railway line and supporting infantry in the city. There are more and more railways in the three eastern provinces. Absolutely inseparable from armored trains."

"That's right." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "But the Russian stuff is a bit outdated, and we need to improve it. Take the two 76mm guns at the front and rear as an example. They have good range and power, but the rate of fire is poor. In addition, when the Russians built trains, they did not consider the issue of air defense, and if they encountered air force bombing, they would become live targets, so the machine guns on the trains had to be modified to be dual-purpose.”

"The commander hit the nail on the head, and what he said is reasonable, but there is no time to modify it right now, and there is an important task!" Sun Anhu said: "The second young master led the armored soldiers all the way and ran more than 110 kilometers in less than three days. It's unimaginable, it's amazing speed!"

"That's right, the second child also sent me a telegram to complain about the logistics. These two armored trains can just help escort supplies and prevent guerrillas along the way." Zhang Tinglan also said very satisfied.

Entering the era of mechanization, the pace of war is getting faster and faster. Ever since Zhang Tingshu received the order to advance in depth towards Russia, he immediately reversed his line of defense and advanced quickly along the railway.

In the history of human warfare, this is the first time that armored forces have been used on a large scale for a rapid assault. Their speed of action is far beyond imagination. They didn't leave time to fortify the wall and clear the country.

The armored soldiers rushed out of the direction easily, killing and crushing the panicked Russians.It took Zhang Tingshu and the others two days and three nights to run 110 kilometers, and more than 40 kilometers in almost one day and night.This kind of advance speed has exceeded the imagination of many people, and Feng Jun's jaws dropped in shock.

Zhang Tingshu not only wants to march, but also has to deal with the endless stream of Russian troops.It took almost the same time for Fengjun to send troops from Manchuria, and it took less than [-] kilometers to walk, which has already made Fengjun proud.

But the tank soldiers broke the record easily, and the big guys even suspected that the armored soldiers would keep rushing down and directly kill Chita.Of course this is just an illusion.Zhang Tingshu stopped about [-] kilometers away from Chita.

In front of him is Aginskoye. When the Russians built the Middle East Road, it was a branch line drawn from here, which passed through Manchuria and directly went to China.

This is where the two railways meet.The Russians were guarding heavily, so of course Zhang Tinglan wanted to rush directly there.Take this important city into your own hands.And once it's under control.Jiang Deng selected their Outer Northeast Army to join forces with the main force, and the two armies could attack Chita together.

This is definitely a very attractive thing, but Master Zhang Er finally gave up. The main reason is that the logistics supplies can't keep up.

The armored troops charge at high speed, which looks very majestic, but the required logistical supply consumption is also quite astonishing.Every tank is an oil tiger, eating oil much faster than people consume food.The oil they were carrying was running out, and without oil, they couldn't move.No matter how powerful the armor looks, it will be turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Another problem is that a large number of tanks have serious quality problems. Sixty tanks were injured in the battle, and a total of five were destroyed. However, due to mechanical failures, more than 20 tanks were completely laid down. The key parts of the rear must be obtained to make these tanks run again, and the situation of armored vehicles is similar.

The combat power was reduced by about half, and Second Young Master Zhang didn't dare to take any risks anymore. He could only honestly wait for the support from the rear to catch up as soon as possible.They were also at the edge of the combat radius of the Fengjun Air Force at this time. If they were a little further away, the plane would have basically landed.

With the protection of the plane, Zhang Tingshu and the others felt more at ease. The tank soldiers who were free all followed behind the technicians and asked them various questions about tank maintenance.After such a rush, they finally understood the importance of tank maintenance. With this ability, they would have an extra life on the battlefield, and no one dared to neglect it.

Wang Dingming, the deputy head of the regiment, did it himself, and replaced the tracks of the tank with several soldiers, and then climbed to the bottom to check the engine, fuel tank and other problems.After working around, his whole body was covered in black engine oil, like a little ghost.

"Leader, let's design tanks in the future. I think the most important point is that the leather is reliable and the maintenance must be simple. Anyone with a little experience can handle it! If you really go crazy, the most important thing is to have weapons in hand. Once Lay down, all the good things are useless!"

Wang Dingming said with great emotion while wiping his sweat.Weapons are not as sophisticated as possible. Setting high performance standards is often a means of fooling laymen and defrauding purchase funds. The struggle between industrialized countries requires high-quality, low-cost, and cost-effective weapons.

At the same time, we must also consider the quality of the people, which is suitable for large-scale equipment use. After all, history has proved that the strength of quality can be completely overwhelmed by the advantage of quantity. This is also Zhang Tinglan's philosophy of developing military industry. Use first.

Zhang Tingshu said with a smile: "In the future, you all sort out your suggestions. I will go to the company and ask them to consider our needs when designing tanks."

While they were talking, there was the sound of a train whistle, Feng Jun's logistics supplies had already arrived, and Zhang Tingshu hurried to the train station to meet them.

Two captured armored trains came one after the other, with three military trains sandwiched between them. The trains carried a large amount of oil, spare parts, ammunition and food. In addition, Zhang Henian also rushed over with some soldiers, and together with Zhang Tingshu, they guarded the current front, and waited for an opportunity to capture Aginskoye.

Zhang Henian shook his tall body and jumped onto the platform. Seeing Zhang Tingshu approaching, he smiled and gave his thumbs up: "Second young master became famous in the first battle, and the commander and others praised you! I'm going to come here quickly." , so that I can learn some real skills from the second young master!"

"Brother He Nian, you can take on the position of brigade commander of the main division. I am the commander of the brigade. How dare I teach you."

"No, it won't work when you go back. The commander-in-chief has decided to expand the armored force and establish an independent armored brigade. After the production capacity catches up, an armored division will be established. The time has come for the second young master to show his skills!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tingshu's eyes lit up immediately. He didn't care about the change of military rank. What really moved Zhang Tingshu was Fengjun's attitude towards armored soldiers. It seemed that after this battle, the resistance to the development of armored forces completely disappeared.

The direction of military development determines the direction of military expenditure. Although Zhang Tingshu is the second son of the old man and Zhang Tinglan's younger brother, there are some things that even Zhang Tinglan can't easily decide. Now that he has a solid record, In the future, a large amount of resources will be allocated to armored forces, so no one can say anything more.

"Does my brother have anything to say?"

"The commander-in-chief just asked us to actively prepare for the battle and guard against the Russians' counterattack."

Just as Zhang Henian and the others were stepping up their preparations for the battle, the news of Feng's victory again came out. Military observers from all over the world were studying the map carefully. The two armies of Feng's army were constantly advancing. It is not impossible for Chita to join forces.

In particular, the rapid advance of more than 100 kilometers in three or two days has completely shocked the countries. Their evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Fengjun can not help but improve several levels, and the Fengjun can at least reach the level of the second- and third-rate powers.

The envoys of the United States and the United Kingdom met again urgently. Klein and Eston looked at each other in dismay. Facing the victory of Fengjun, they had mixed emotions on their faces, including anger, doubt, joy, and distress.

"Feng Jun has indeed possessed considerable strength. Using loans and old ammunition is a way to win over Beiyang. It is obviously not enough to deal with Feng Jun. It seems that we need to come up with something real!" Klein said with a sigh.

"Perhaps your opinion is right, but key technologies must be strictly controlled, and two restrictions must be set for Fengjun, which cannot be touched. Only in this way can we cooperate with him!" Eston said with a sneer.

"Mr. Ashton, what are your two restrictions?"

"It is not allowed to annex the Far Eastern Empire; it is not allowed to expand its power in the pass!"

After Klein heard it, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes. These two conditions are too important. According to the current situation, the Far Eastern Empire is still a country controlled by White Russia, and its nominal territory also includes the outer northeast region, allowing the Far Eastern Empire to remain independent. It can limit the expansion of Fengjun's power.

In addition, prohibiting Fengjun from developing into the pass is to avoid the unification of China and endanger their interests.As long as Fengjun can agree to these two points, it is not impossible to talk about providing Fengjun with some industrial technology, but beyond these two points, they will never agree.

The two guys found Zhang Tinglan again, and they sat across from each other. Zhang Tinglan also kept observing the two envoys. Last time they rejected her request, and now they came to the door again. Maybe they are ready to let go, but I don’t know. To what extent can it be delivered.

"Mr. Ministers, Fengjun is planning a major military operation. I will go to the front line soon and command it personally. If we have anything to do, let's make a long story short!"

Eston's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said hastily: "May I ask, is Feng Jun preparing to attack Chita?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled noncommittally: "The matter is confidential, so I can't reveal too much, but I can tell you two that Feng Jun will drive the Russians out of the east of Lake Baikal as soon as possible."

When Zhang Tinglan said this, she revealed strong confidence, and Klein and Eston had to believe it.

Klein also said: "We are very happy to see the rapid advancement of the Fengjun Army. It is the common interest of all countries to eliminate the threat of the majority party. After our consultations with the government, we have obtained permission to provide technical equipment to the Fengjun Army. We We can have a good talk!" (To be continued...)
