Chapter 46, Appointments

At this stage, compared with the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army has a certain gap in terms of the quality of its soldiers and the weapons and equipment of the army.

Especially weapons and equipment, if there is a certain gap, it is simply putting gold on one's face.

It can be said that in terms of weapons and equipment, the Eighth Route Army can only be crushed by devils.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, many units of the Eighth Route Army had an average of three soldiers with only one rifle, and each rifle had only three bullets.

Shells were even more scarce, so much so that the Second Detachment of the New Fourth Army had specifically stipulated that a shell must be approved by the deputy commander before it could be fired.

Now, although it is better, it is not rich.

The latest tanks, Huo, the Eighth Route Army was so rich for the first time.

However, the focus now is how to transform this wealth into combat effectiveness.

The brigade commander walked around the tank, "Xiao Yuan, can you drive the tank for me to see?"

"It's possible. If you just drive, you can do it by yourself."

After Yuan Lang finished speaking, he got on the tank.

In fact, he was also very itchy. He had mastered the skill of driving a tank, but he didn't drive the tank very well.

The main reason is that fuel is limited, and Li Yunlong stopped it.

Soon, with the loud rumbling noise of the engine, the tank was started.

Like a ferocious beast that chooses to devour people, it sprints in this not-so-big open space.

"Brigade Commander, the place here is too small to use. The speed cannot be increased." Li Yunlong explained.

When he went to pick up the tank that day, Yuan Lang drove the tank very fast.From far to near, like a ferocious steel beast, it rushed towards him.

It left a very deep impression on Li Yunlong.

This is also the reason why he is eloquent and wants to keep the tank alive and well.

If you drive a tank to charge the puppet army, you don't even need to shoot. Just by the way the tank rushed past fiercely, you can break the courage of the puppet army and harvest a large number of prisoners.

While speaking, the tank had already made a small circle and came back.

Li Yunlong yelled: "Stop, stop."

The tank stopped, Yuan Lang opened the top cover and poked his head out: "What are you doing?"

"You can't use fuel to run empty! We also go up to feel the feeling. What do you think, Brigadier?"

Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander and asked for his opinion.

The brigade commander had never sat on this novelty before, so he asked Yuan Lang if he would not interfere, so he naturally agreed.

The four members of the A32 tank, brigade commander Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, entered the tank.

Seeing that the tank was not moving fast just now, Zhang Dabiao asked if he could sit on top of the tank.

Anyway, no one will take care of overloading, let alone fine someone, of course it's no problem.

Naturally, safety cannot be foolproof, but simply driving at a slow speed is not very dangerous.

Yuan Lang was driving a tank, so he took everyone for a ride.

Three are in the tank and three are on the tank.

After a few laps around the open space, due to Li Yunlong's stingy virtue, the tank stopped in order to save fuel.

After enjoying the fun of the tank ride, everyone applauded.

Li Yunlong got off the tank, fondling his steel body reluctantly: "Sitting on the tank, the breeze is blowing, it's really comfortable.

When we can sit on the tank and march on the road, it will save our legs. "

Zhang Dabiao had the same idea, but he had to follow up with the regiment leader first: "Commander, this is possible. When our tanks can be driven out to participate in actual combat, you will know if you sit on it and try it."

"Sit on the roof of the tank, and be careful not to be shot coldly." Yuan Lang immediately poured cold water on him out of his own cautious character.

"However, Lao Li, if you have time, you can learn how to drive a tank from me. Even if the heavy machine gun has shot out all the bullets and turned the armor into a hornet's nest, it can't penetrate it, and it can't hurt the people inside."

"Okay, then I'll come and learn from you when I'm free." Li Yunlong laughed and agreed to Yuan Lang's invitation.

He didn't really want to drive the tank to the battlefield. His real purpose was to observe and understand the performance of the tank, and to find a way to apply it in actual combat.

Where there is a spear, there must be a shield. If a tank has a shield, then there must be a spear that can break the shield.

The brigade commander thought about it, and asked a question in his heart: "What kind of weapons do the devils have that can threaten our tanks? How will they deal with our tanks?"

Weapons against tanks must be direct fire.For example, the specially developed 37mm anti-aircraft gun, or the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun.

Mortars can't do it, and it's as difficult as hitting a lottery ticket with curved fire.

Knowing the weapons against tanks, it becomes obvious how to deal with them.

What if there were no weapons against tanks?
Both the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army have experience, nothing more than fighting with their lives, Molotov cocktails, explosive kits, etc.

In general, regardless of its production cost, try not to think about the logistical burden of the tank.

Tanks are good stuff for any army.

As the only or the person who drives the tank, Yuan Lang was appointed by the headquarters as the head of the tank detachment, and he is temporarily attached to the 386 brigade.

In terms of personnel, there are more quotas given, and as many as [-] people will be transferred from various places.

In fact, only 4 people are needed to serve a tank, and if the configuration is wider, 10 people are more than enough.

The transfer of more than a hundred people is to use Yuan Lang, the first tank detachment, as a tank training base.

This is a long-term consideration.

Is it so exaggerated?
Yuan Lang was shocked when he heard the appointment of the brigade commander. From managing a few people to managing hundreds of people at once, the promotion was fast enough.

He is very self-aware, and his heart is complicated. He may not be able to manage a few people, and he is afraid of delaying things if he manages hundreds of people.

Hastily waved his hand: "Brigade Commander, I am willing to be an instructor, teaching students how to drive and use tanks.

But if you manage a team of hundreds of people, you really have limited energy and it is difficult to devote yourself wholeheartedly.Please also consider carefully and choose Gao Ming. "

Seeing that Yuan Lang's words were true and sincere, Zhao Gang said, "Brigade Commander, Consultant Yuan is also the shooting coach of our regiment. He has multiple roles, so he is not trying to shirk."

Oh, the brigade commander was very surprised: "As the shooting coach of the whole regiment, Xiao Yuan's marksmanship seems to be good?"

On the day Zhao Gang naturally came to the future, there was a competition and he made a narration, admiring Yuan Lang's marksmanship.

"Brigade Commander, he's not only good at guns, but also cannons. That time at Cangyunling, if the gunner Zhuzi of our regiment hadn't been injured, he would have wanted to hide it."

In a complaining tone, Li Yunlong narrated how Yuan Lang used the grenade to help break out of the frontal encirclement as fire cover.

He can shoot all kinds of firearms accurately, grenade mortars can also shoot accurately, and he can also drive tanks. He is an all-rounder!

The brigade commander seldom feels surprised. Yuan Lang's deeds really can't mess him up.
