Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 424 Gather the troops and set off!

Ningji Okamura realized a problem through Tanaka Kyuichi's reaction: Are all the independent groups nowadays so fierce?

Before, Ningji Okamura only knew that the locust army in Jin suffered heavy losses when facing the Chinese Independent Regiment. He thought it was due to Yoshio Shinozuka's poor command. Since his attention was on how to break through the natural barrier of the Yellow River as soon as possible and take over the entire China, he did not pay special attention to the fundamental reason for Jin's successive defeats.

This time, he brought Tanaka Hisaichi to Jin with the intention of letting Tanaka Hisaichi make a name for himself and let the officers in Jin take a closer look.

But unexpectedly, Tanaka Hisaichi was so scared that he didn't dare to take action before the fight even started.

What the hell is going on?

It doesn't matter if Tanaka Kyuichi is a coward, but he is just slapping himself in the face.

Okamura Neiji stared at Tanaka Kyuichi with cold eyes and said, "Captain Tanaka, think carefully before you speak.

You don't have to fight the Eighth Route Army, but the 21st Division transferred from Shandong is used to contain the Independent Regiment and even the entire Eighth Route Army."

hiss!

Tanaka Kyuichi shuddered in his heart, and he understood the meaning of Okamura Ningji's words.

The 21st Division must be used to contain the Independent Regiment and other Eighth Route Army troops, but the commander of the 21st Division does not have to be Tanaka Hisaichi.

Tanaka Kyuichi did not dare to hesitate: "Report to the General, I will definitely lead the 21st Division to complete the mission! I will never disgrace the glory of the Locust Army!"

Ningji Okamura put his hand on Tanaka Kyuichi's shoulder and squeezed it hard, causing Tanaka Kyuichi to feel a little pain, but Tanaka Kyuichi didn't dare to make any sound, nor did he dare to change his expression.

"Tanaka, you'd better complete the mission successfully, otherwise the next time it won't be my hand that's on your shoulder, but my saber."

The cold tone in Ningji Okamura's words is self-evident.

Tanaka Kyuichi's heart trembled and he nodded frantically involuntarily.

Looking at Tanaka Hisaichi's leaving back, Ningji Okamura realized a problem. Had he underestimated the Eighth Route Army and this independent regiment before?

However, now is not the time to dwell on this issue. The primary goal now is to break through the gap opened by Zhongtiao Mountain to enter Shaanxi. Not only to occupy a large amount of resources in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, but also to enter Shaanxi and then enter the southwest to destroy China's secondary capital again.

As for the independent group?

Once we capture Zhongtiao Mountain, we will concentrate our most superior forces to wear them down.

No matter how powerful they are, they are just an armed force at the regiment level. By that time, even if 5 locust soldiers were mobilized, they would be crushed to death.

Although he thought so, Ningji Okamura still ordered his confidential secretary to find all the battle reports of the battles between the Jin Locust Army and the Independent Regiment in the past year. He wanted to take some time to take a good look at them.

......

Liaoyuan Arsenal.

Yu Ye looked at the neatly equipped convoy, which was extremely majestic.

After the seizures during this period, the number of trucks owned by the Liaoyuan Arsenal had reached 32. Together with the trucks sent by the headquarters to transport ammunition, there were a total of 57 trucks gathered near the Ping'an Industrial Zone.

This was almost all the assets of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

At this time, these trucks were filled with various weapons, equipment and ammunition. Almost every vehicle was towing a piece of artillery behind it, either a 107 rocket launcher or a 155 howitzer.

At the front of the convoy were five newly produced tanks.

Now these five tanks are lined up in a row, and the crews of these five tanks are lined up beside the tanks, waiting for the order to set off.

Li Yunlong and Yu Ye were looking at the five tanks and couldn't take their eyes off them. These five tanks were not as simple as they were during the previous training.

The one-piece cast turret is full of streamlined beauty. The original simple 200mm homogeneous armor has been replaced with 100mm thick armor that has been carburized. It looks a lot lighter, but its protective power should not be underestimated.

Due to the lack of suitable paint, these tanks were not painted at all. They were completely the silver-gray color of the bare steel, with only very simple anti-rust treatment.

In the winter sun, these five steel behemoths reflect the sun's rays and have a special temperament.

It has a unique and ferocious industrial beauty.

Li Yunlong looked at the five tanks and 5 trucks loaded with various weapons and towing artillery, and he had a feeling it was unreal.

Is this our Lao Li’s equipment?

I, Old Li, have never fought such a prosperous battle in my life!

Yu Ye led Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong across the open space and came to the first tank: "Comrade Dong Fu, how does it feel to drive our first tank?"

Dong Fu answered without hesitation: "Comfortable!"

Yu Ye patted Dong Fu on the shoulder, knowing that he was not lying. The now-finished tank was indeed much more comfortable than the experimental tanks they had driven before.

During these few months, Yu Ye not only modified the joystick of the Type 59 tank, turning it into a steering wheel that is more convenient for the cavalry battalion soldiers who are accustomed to driving trucks, but also added a mechanical hydraulic power steering system to the driving system. This technology can be truly regarded as black technology today.

This technology has not yet been used in automobiles, but Yu Ye was the first in the world to add it to tanks produced by Liaoyuan Arsenal.

In addition to not having to hold a piece of iron while driving as before, Yu Ye also added suspension to the final tank. Now tank drivers no longer have to experience the feeling of having their buttocks broken into pieces when driving in a depression.

The overall driving experience is just as Dong Fu said: comfortable!

Yu Ye walked to the middle tank of the five tanks and looked at Sun Desheng seriously: "Captain Sun, I'm leaving your first battle after you are equipped with armored vehicles to you!

If you fail to bring glory to our independent cavalry battalion in this battle, I will come back to punish you!"

"Report to the Minister, our cavalry battalion will definitely fulfill its mission. There are only cavalry battalions that die in battle, not cavalry battalions that retreat!"

The dark-skinned man roared, his eyes full of determination.

Yu Ye said nothing, but looked at Sun Desheng deeply, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't die in the battle, come back alive."

After patting the 100mm caliber tank gun barrel, Yu Ye turned and walked towards the platform.

There was no passionate mobilization. Yu Ye only uttered two words: "Let's go!"
