Chapter 153 Chapter [-] Dare to challenge the military police?

Yao Liangchuan was born as a civil servant, so he naturally didn't understand tanks. In other words, his understanding of the military was only at the macro level of the campaign, and he didn't know the specific tactics or a certain piece of equipment at all. He was better at various aspects of literature.

At this time, he didn't care about his face, and asked bluntly: "Shouldn't the crawler design be more suitable for off-roading? Why not?"

"Mr. Yao, you don't know that the track is suitable for off-roading because it has a large force-receiving area, but this mechanical structure is more complicated than the wheel. The more complicated it is, the more likely it is to go wrong, right?"

"This kind of mechanical thing is very precise. Several tons of steel are distributed to each component. Think about how much each part bears. There is a term called 'structural weight' to describe this situation."

"In the off-road state, the small inspection interval of the chariot is 150 miles. It is best to carry out a comprehensive overhaul every 120 miles. The engine mechanical time should not exceed [-] hours."

"Once the limit is exceeded, the failure rate will skyrocket like a diamond monkey. Don't think that they are durable because they are made of steel. They are actually very delicate. If you don't take care of them, they will lie down!"

Yao Liangchuan was very surprised by the fragility of the tracked armored vehicle, which was completely contrary to the superficial impression. He was stunned for two seconds, and then he asked: "So, if the environment is worse, wouldn't you have to buy it every two days?" Repair once? I remember how many hours you often repair at a time?"

"Yeah, it's very troublesome. To repair the engine, you have to hang it out with a gantry crane... In short, sharpness is sharp, but if it is not maintained properly, the iron guy loses his temper and lays down. It's not humane."

"Then what should we do in actual combat? Isn't the restriction too great?"

"So the chariots are not suitable for moving on their own. If possible, it is best to transport them to a place near the battlefield by train or large truck, and then go into battle after they are assembled." Li Bin gestured in a circle while talking.

Thoughtful, Yao Liangchuan put his hand on the turret of the tank, and couldn't help complaining: "It's too different from the intuitive impression, what should I say? This is like a tiger general with a ladylike mind, who loses his temper when he doesn't serve him well, really. kill."

"War is like this. Although fighting and killing is the most exciting, in fact, most of the time is spent on marching, digging trenches, repairing camps, and maintaining equipment." Li Bin took out a cigarette and a lighter, and started typing twice. On fire, "It's the same in ancient times. War horses are very precious, so they must be taken care of carefully."

"That's right. A few days ago, I read the articles in the Tang newspaper during the Jiajing and Wanli years. The cavalry needs not only forage and beans, but also wheat bran. They also need to be mixed with some salt, and sometimes even meat." Yao Liangchuan also said. After lighting a cigarette, he didn't know how to smoke, but he quickly learned it under the instigation of a group of officers.

In this way, most of the chariots in the chariot team were able to be repaired almost in the middle of the night.

However, there are still four vehicles that cannot be solved on the spot for the time being, so we can only send people to stay behind, and wait for the regiment headquarters to send trucks to assist in traction.

When the sleepy Li Bin and Yao Liangchuan arrived at the training site, they were surprised to find that they could hear reprimands and beatings as soon as they entered the camp.

In the distance are large areas of gray-white or gray-green tents, with flags fluttering in the wind, but nearby are a row of soldiers lying on long benches?There are several officers and non-commissioned officers on the far left.

More than a dozen gendarmes held solid wooden military sticks several feet long and crackled and beat them hard, while Zhou Changfeng stood by with his hands behind his back and watched.

Someone couldn't help crying out in pain, and Zhou Changfeng said coldly: "Does it hurt? It hurts as much as it used to be. Just bear with it and keep your memory strong."

So the officers and soldiers who were being punished all gritted their teeth and dared not hum any more.

hiss!This... what's the situation?
Yao Liangchuan, who was so tired that he could hardly keep his eyelids open, suddenly lost his sleepiness.

He quickly walked over and asked, "What's the matter? Everyone from soldiers to officials committed crimes?"

Zhou Changfeng with stern eyes snorted, but before he could speak, Xie Wancheng on the side explained it for him.

"Last night, I repeatedly said that there is a school next door, and you should pay attention to discipline. When I came back from running around this morning, a few girls came to ask questions out of curiosity, but it was fun for these bastards, whistling and booing. Well, their platoon leader is also in a daze, so he doesn't care when he sees this."

The matter itself was just one thing, and the second was that the patrolling military police came to stop it. The soldiers were not happy about it, thinking that it was too lenient, and the platoon leader was somewhat defensive, so they quarreled with the military police.

If there was a quarrel, it would naturally make the matter worse. Zhou Changfeng did not hesitate to order the whole platoon to sit together. Thirty army sticks and fully armed cross-country for twenty miles. If you don't finish the run, you will have no food.

Yao Liangchuan immediately understood when he heard the words. On the surface, it was not so ruthless at all, but this involved a problem of nature - the authority of the military police and the authority of military law.

You guys dare to fight against the military police, is that okay?To say it is not convinced, to say it is to say that it is contempt for military law.

In ancient times, it was dragged to the gate of the camp to beheaded in public, as an example to others.

Seeing the square military stick as thick as a forearm being raised high and falling heavily, Yao Liangchuan couldn't help but gasped, and he felt his eyelids twitch.

Zhou Changfeng glanced around and said coldly:
"Everyone has gone against the sky. Dare to challenge the military police? I know what you are thinking. You think it's just a trivial matter, why bother so much."

"Damn, put yourself in my shoes now, those little girls are your sisters or daughters, are you still happy? Answer!"

Some soldiers had already finished their punishment, and they were standing crookedly aside.

Hearing this, they and the soldiers who were still being punished on the long benches replied together: "Not happy!"

"Why? If you don't like it, others are happy? Or are their sisters and daughters not human? Hiring my whole group, it's like a rat droppings spoiling a pot of porridge."

"What is the principle of a warrior? Wisdom, trustworthiness, benevolence, bravery and strictness! I don't want a group of rogues to be my subordinates. If you dare to make fun of me now, will you dare to rape and plunder in the future? Huh?"

"Don't dare!"

"Then remember it well, it's a good thing you're hit with a military stick and not a bullet." After Zhou Changfeng finished speaking, he turned and left.

A moment later, in the big tent where the regiment headquarters...

Zhou Changfeng, who was also a little helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and complained to the few people present: "They are all a bunch of arrogant soldiers, they are very arrogant, and when people are arrogant, they want to trample on the rules and challenge authority. Press it down, or the whole regiment will become a den of bandits."

Yao Liangchuan, who was about to go to sleep in his tent, heard the words and said: "Speaking of bandits, the banditry in Huguang and Guangxi has recently been taken seriously by the imperial court, and the emperor is also angry, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is thinking about mobilizing troops to encircle and suppress it. "

Zhou Changfeng, who didn't take this seriously, said casually: "What kind of bandits are worth deploying troops? Can't the local garrison do it?"

But he immediately realized that this was unreasonable - if it was so easy, how could it take so much effort?
