Chapter 100 The Difficult Submarine Soldier
However, as a pioneering work, the Type 200 tank has many disadvantages and irrationality, so the output is not much, only about [-] vehicles.

The Sany tank was really equipped with a large number of Ming troops, and it was also produced by Yanjing National No. [-] Heavy Machinery Company (referred to as Yiji Company).

The chassis and turret have been greatly adjusted in appearance, the interior space is more spacious, the total combat weight has been increased to 10.2 tons, the three-person vehicle group has been replaced with a 115 horsepower six-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine, the front armor has been increased to 20mm, and the weapon configuration Using a 38.4mm short-barreled artillery and two machine guns, the maximum road speed can reach 36㎞/h.

At that time, Yiji Company also imported three well-known British Vickers MkE tanks. This is an excellent inter-war tank. If the total production of authorized countries in the world is included, there will be more than [-] tanks before and after. It was the most common tank in the world at the time.

【Vickers MkE Light Tank】

One Machine Company originally intended to see if there was any reference, but after the evaluation, it thought that there was no bright spot except for the suspension system, so it did not make any changes.In the end, it just borrowed from the balanced suspension developed by Vickers, which is cheap, durable, and has a considerable cost-effectiveness ratio.

In terms of overall performance, the Sany tank and its improved models can be said to have reached the first-class level in the 30s.

The T-26 light tank of the same period, with a total weight of 10.5 tons, a three-person vehicle group, a 90-horsepower gasoline engine, an armor thickness of 15 mm, and a weapon configuration of a 45 mm long-barreled artillery and two machine guns, with a maximum speed of 30㎞/h .

T-26 is a typical partial science student. It is very fierce in firepower. When tanks in most countries are only equipped with 37mm artillery, it has taken the lead in using 45mm artillery.

Now, the reason why Lin Xi calls both Type [-] and Type [-] "old" is naturally because the new type of tank is already being tested and ready to be put into production.

The four prototypes of the trial-produced Type [-] guerrilla combat vehicles have completed preliminary evaluations at the Laizhou Test Ground in Shandong Province. They are not satisfactory and can be put into production with only minor modifications. The Army plans to place an order for [-] vehicles in the first order.

At the same time, a heavy-duty combat vehicle is also being developed. Wuhan Yangyue Automobile Company and Yanjing National No. [-] Heavy Machinery Group have come up with various design plans and are currently preparing to manufacture prototype vehicles.

However, it is still unknown who will win in the end, and it depends on who can be slightly better at the Laizhou Proving Ground in the future.

On the seventh day of August, according to the Sun Moon News Agency’s report in Madrid, the Spanish National Army captured Badajoz in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula and wielded a butcher knife, killing at least 4000 people.

This is a city that has existed since ancient times. It is a key point from Spain to Portugal. The import and export trade is prosperous. It is built with bastions and moats. It may have been solid in ancient times, but now it is easily captured by the National Army.

In the Taurus Square in the city, thousands of civilians were driven here, and then slaughtered by the National Army with machine guns; at the same time, it is said that two Ming businessmen and four entourages were also robbed and killed?
Despite being in a submarine, this is not an isolated place, and sailors can still receive radio signals on many frequencies.

Short-wave communication stations are generally only used when sailing on the water surface, while long-wave communication stations can be used when diving underwater, because short-wave communication cannot go deep below the surface of the water.

The characteristic of long wave is that the transmission distance is quite long, the signal attenuation is very small, and it can penetrate rock formations and sea water, so it is suitable for long-distance communication on the ocean. However, due to the low frequency, the amount of information carried is very small, and 1kb of data may take more than a dozen minutes to send.

Ultra-long wave communication is even more exaggerated. Only 1-1 bits of data can be transmitted in one minute, and it is well known that an English letter is 2 bits, so Americans usually send a combination of three English letters every 8 minutes for the most basic situation report.

The soldiers didn't care at all about the civil war in Spain, and some people even clapped their hands and applauded when nationalism is relatively high.

Most people have no sympathy for the more than [-] Spanish civilians who died in Badajoz. On the contrary, they care more about the few Ming businessmen who were killed.

"This Spain is self-inflicted. It was very prosperous hundreds of years ago, and then declined beyond control."

"In Luzon, before and after Chongzhen, the Spaniards massacred three times, and tens of thousands of Chinese were killed."

"Look, if you come out to play around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later."

"Isn't that counting? Spain is now fighting each other internally. If outsiders burn, kill and loot one day in the mainland, it will be called retaliation."

At this moment, the Lixiajia No. [-] was passing through the Xisha Islands. Except for those on duty, dozens of submariners had left the cabin, sitting on the front deck of the submarine and making jokes.

Zhou Changfeng felt that it was not difficult to understand the simple concept of the soldiers—repay kindness with kindness, and repay grievances with honesty.

Benevolence, righteousness and morality are based on circumstances, and the target of the united front is not randomly selected.

"Mr. Zhou, how are you doing these days?"

Ling Su also got out of the cabin. He came down from behind the conning tower and came to Zhou Changfeng with a smile.

The latter was leaning against the command tower at the moment, and replied after hearing the words: "I have to say, submarine soldiers are really suffering."

The temperature in the cabin is as high as [-] degrees, and the power cabin often soars to over [-] degrees. Staying in it is like taking a sauna. After working for half a quarter of an hour, the sweat on your body is like a heavy rain.

It’s fine if the temperature is high, but the key point is that this is at sea, and the humidity is also very high, hot and humid. A wet clothes may not dry for ten days and half a month, and may even get wetter the more you dry it.

Diesel smells everywhere, even the drinking water has a faint diesel smell.

The small cabin is full of various pipes, and the corners are also filled with extra supplies. The combination of folding beds and hammocks can only sleep half of the people, so the submariners can only sleep in shifts.

Zhou Changfeng and others were specially arranged in the torpedo compartment after boarding the submarine. Under the folding bed was a torpedo filled with hundreds of kilograms of high explosives. Already a relatively spacious and dry place.

The submariners are willing to give up such a good place, which is a tribute to Zhou Changfeng and his party.

"Our job is to lick blood with the tip of a knife. Only the most brave and tenacious people can be qualified as submarine soldiers." Ling Su took two bottles of wine and a bag of peanuts, and sat down without paying attention.

Zhou Changfeng also sat down on the deck, and the two drank peanuts from the bottle.

The high risk and hardship of the submarine soldiers have given them a lot of special treatment, and the usual regulations are often not counted here.Even after returning to Hong Kong, no matter how arrogant they are, the military police at the base will turn a blind eye.

They are an anomaly in the Navy.

If a medium-sized submarine has not returned after 70 days at sea, it will be directly recorded as all crew members killed, because a medium-sized submarine can only load up to 60 days of food supplies; a large ocean-going submarine is 100 days, because it can only load 90 days of supplies.

Not even considering the situation of disappearance and rescue, such simple, rude and cruel rules are very rare.

"It's going to change in the past few years. Some people used to say that the peace after the European War lasted at most [-] years, and now it's coming to an end." Ling Su threw a peanut into his mouth, then took a big gulp of his neck, Vaguely said: "When the time for the Naval Armament Treaty passes by the end of this year, we will probably build a large number of new ships."
