The beacon of youth

Chapter 23o Is it a car or a tank

Li Yong, the head of the regiment, and Xiao Cheng, the company commander of the repair company, led a dozen soldiers and worked hard for several days, finally getting an object out.

When everyone took a closer look, they all understood, isn't this a car? How did it become like this? What is the head of the group doing?

It turned out that the car made by Li Yong and the soldiers of the repair company was different from before. Why was it different?The body of the car was covered with a thin layer of steel.

This steel plate is cut into shapes of different sizes and lengths, some are welded on, and some are bolted on, on the outside of the large box panels on both sides of the car, on both sides of the driver's door, and on the front cover of the engine. Made a layer.

It is also thanks to the independent regiment having the repair company Sanniu, otherwise I really don't know where to find these miscellaneous tools.

When Zhi Cong became the company commander, Sanniu never stopped thinking of a way. The team leader handed over the more than 100 people to me. Task?

San Niu's head hurt from thinking, and finally came up with a way to gather all the soldiers for a meeting and let everyone come up with ideas. If there are more people, there are more ideas. This is what San Niu learned from the old soldiers. Experience, in other words, is also a glorious tradition of our People's Liberation Army.

The people in San Niu's hand are specially selected from various battalions in the regiment. To put it bluntly, they are craftsmen who have done some technical work when they were at home. In addition to some professional car mechanics, they also got these heads that are more useful warrior.

At the meeting, everyone gave advice to the company commander, should the company be repaired? The main thing is to maintain all kinds of equipment that the regiment can have. There are tools and materials, and without tools and materials, even the best craftsmanship cannot be displayed.

So Sanniu and the soldiers of their company paid special attention to collecting all kinds of repair tools wherever they went, and learned while doing it. No, Li Yong came in handy when they came to tinker with the car.

Li Yong was also very surprised to see the equipment of the repair company. Didn’t you expect that San Niu, despite his young age, is really caring. He brought back so many good things in just a few months. Li Yong, who had a try, had some confidence in his mind.

Sanniu and Xiaocheng, the young soldiers who joined the army later, admired the regiment leader Li Yong. They simply believed that everything the regiment leader said was correct and everything the regiment leader did was correct (My Tiantian Ah, and there are two things coming out) They don't ask why like Li Jiangguo.

Li Yong went to Sanniu's repair company and told the soldiers to work hard as soon as he explained the matter. It really produced results in a few days.

It is very strange for everyone to gather around this kind of thing, what is the head of the group doing?Li Jiangguo's big mouth opened again: "Oh, my god, I said, head, you and Sanniu have been messing around for several days to come up with something like this? What's the use of it? Head, you Wouldn't it be used as a tank?"

Li Yong glared at Li Jiangguo: "What's the matter? What's wrong with being a tank? We don't have real tanks, why can't we just get something out of it?"

Li Jiangguo laughed loudly and said: "Head, I know you want to do this and come to me. Why don't I give you a staff officer? San Niu, a recruit, knows what."

San Niu is already the company commander of the repair company of the Independent Regiment, and has more than 100 people under his command. However, in the eyes of Li Jiangguo's twenty-odd old soldiers who first started their business, they are still just recruits.

Sanniu didn't have any objection to Li Jiangguo saying that he was a recruit. Regardless of the fact that there were more than 100 people under his command, in Lao Li's eyes, he was really a recruit. He snorted, "What's wrong, recruit It can also do great things, and if the head of the team says it works, it will work."

"This thing can't be used as a tank. The armor is too thin. Let alone anti-tank guns, machine guns with larger calibers can penetrate this steel plate. For example, the anti-aircraft machine guns of our regiment can easily penetrate this steel plate. Dry out.

Besides, tanks use crawlers to move forward, and cars use wheels to move. Tanks can only be used in places with bad terrain. To the fork area where we fought last time, this car will not be able to pass. The ability of tanks is to have off-road functions. Your car that walks on wheels simply cannot reach the edge of the position, and it cannot go up trenches and other positions. It is really useless. "

Li Jiangguo's big mouth is talking nonsense all day long, but there is something in his stomach. There are not many soldiers like this who have a certain understanding of tanks.

Li Yong nodded secretly when he heard Li Jiangguo's words. Old Li is not in vain. Don't look at him laughing and joking all day long, but he can pinch the key points and ideas when he speaks.

It’s really not good to convert a car into a tank. You can’t go up to the position without off-road functions, but who said you want to use it as a tank?I, Li Yong, don't want to use it as a soil tank.

Li Yong took San Niu and a dozen soldiers, regardless of what everyone was talking about, and drove this strange car out staggeringly.

Li Yong, who personally drove the car, carefully experienced the functions of this modified car. The load increased, the speed decreased, the turning angle became larger, and the viewing effect of the rearview mirror was not ideal. Vision is also affected.

Under everyone's attention, the car drove back again. Li Yong, who jumped out of the car, didn't care what Li Jiangguo and others who were watching the fun made fun of, and immediately got into the room of the repair company with San Niu and took the car with him. The soldiers resumed their work.

Another two days have passed, and this modified car is a little different from before. The surrounding protection area is larger, and the engine, cab, and fuel tank are all covered with steel plates. The position of the bar is also equipped with a diamond-shaped attack angle.

When the car drove out again, there were more soldiers watching the excitement. Under everyone's attention, the car drove out and came back in ten minutes. There was a smile on his face as if he was very satisfied.

Li Yong who jumped out of the car told Sanniu: "Just follow this way, as much as you can get out, I don't think too much."

Political commissar Wang Chengde of Li Yong's actions is of course also very clear, but the current political commissar Wang Chengde is devoting all his energy to the more than 2000 prisoners captured by the Independence Regiment. What Yong was doing, I didn't go to Sanniu's repair company to see Li Yong, I just heard something from the soldiers' chat.

Li Yong, who returned to the regiment headquarters, was immediately caught by Wang Chengde: "Dayong, is there any use for the things you and Sanniu made? I heard that you are going to change the car into a tank. Dayong, this is Isn't it a bit unreliable? Why do I even have to keep it a secret?"

Although Li Yong didn't say anything in front of the soldiers, he tried his best to guess, but he had nothing to keep secret from his political commissar.

"Old Wang, don't listen to Li Jiangguo's nonsense, I don't want to use the car as a tank."

"It's not used as a tank, why do you weld the car with steel plates?"

Li Yong didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Old Wang, what do you think is the most powerful unit in the Army?"

Wang Chengde: "Needless to say, the tank soldiers are the most powerful. We have also bombed tanks before, and the price we paid was too high. Sometimes, even if all the soldiers in a squad were sacrificed, we might not be able to bomb one."

Li Yong: "If there are no tanks, which unit is the most powerful?"

Wang Chengde thought for a while, and then said: "At the current stage, if the armored soldiers are not considered, I think the cavalry should be the most powerful."

Li Yong: "Damn, what kind of troops are the cavalry most afraid of?" Wang Chengde smiled: "Isn't that the same thing again? The cavalry should be most afraid of armored soldiers."

Li Yong: "Old Wang, that's right. The cars modified by our regiment are not tanks, and I don't want to use them as tanks. I want to use these modified cars to deal with cavalry."

To deal with cavalry?Dayong, neither Yang Yinhuan from Luochuan nor Pei Changhui, whom we want to help, have any cavalry. Why did you make this thing?

They don't have it, which doesn't mean others don't. In our northwest, apart from Hu Zongnan's Central Army, there is also Ma's army, most of which are cavalry.

Wang Chengde's brain works well, but if it doesn't work well, it's impossible to be a political commissar. Hearing what Li Yong said, his head turned a few times, and he immediately asked: "Dayong, you mean that our field army may give up the current attack. Luochuan? Instead, you want to go north to deal with the Ma family army from Qinghai and Ningxia?"

Li Yong: "It's not that we want to deal with the Ma's army, it's likely that they took the initiative to deal with us. We have stayed in Luochuan for more than a month, but nothing has happened. The city cannot be defeated, and the enemy's support troops have not arrived for a long time. Waiting any longer is not the purpose of our leader, so I guess maybe the leader will take all the troops away, and go north to a place where the enemy's strength is weak to take a camera to wipe out the enemy. In this way, it is very likely that we will encounter the Ma's army. I also made a random estimate. , Are you prepared for any danger anyway?"

Li Yong is very clear about the next action plan of the army, but he has no way to elaborate with Wang Chengde. Wang Chengde and Li Yong have been together for so long, and they know each other's temper very well. Dayong, this guy sometimes makes random estimates. It is very accurate, especially when he is very serious, basically it is correct.

Wang Chengde thought for a while: "Since this is the case, we must hurry up. Although we have plenty of time now, Sanniu and the others will not have time to modify the car when the troops move. If we want to move, we must move quickly. Get things done before the troops move, don’t worry about the prisoners and the troops’ training, and work with San Niu to get the car done first.”
