    After taking a closer look at this tank, which was about to be world-famous for decades, Yang Zhen got into the driver's seat and carefully observed the driving structure. With a little guidance from the driver on the side, he started the tank, just driving  After this Soviet army's latest medium tank ran back around the training ground, Yang Zhen felt that he couldn't lift his arms.

    When driving on complex terrain, he discovered that this kind of tank could only travel on ridges. If it traveled in an area with a slightly steep slope, the entire tank would be in danger of sliding down. This new discovery was something he had never known before.  , and the maneuverability of this kind of tank on complex terrain is not as good as I imagined, but according to the technical level of this era, it has done relatively well.

    The design and structure of the four-speed gearbox requires a lot of energy to be shifted every time. Fortunately, it may be a new car, so there has not yet been a situation where you have to use a sledgehammer to change gears smoothly, but even so, ten  After running a lap of several kilometers, Yang Zhen also felt a little sore in his back.

    After jumping out of the cab, Yang Zhen shook his arms that were a little sore due to too much effort in shifting gears, and slightly adjusted his body that was numb from the shock of the extremely poor shock absorption system. He couldn't help but feel  He turned around and smiled bitterly at Chen Hanzhang beside him: "Driving this thing is really a strenuous job. Maybe it's been too long since I haven't exercised. After driving this for a while, I feel a little unbearable."

    "Although this tank's protection, artillery, and maneuverability are much better than the T-26 tanks we originally used, its driving conditions have not improved, but have fallen even further behind. Driving such a thing onto the battlefield is a challenge.  A laborious matter.¡±

    Regarding Yang Zhen's sigh, Chen Hanzhang next to him also said with deep emotion: "No. 1, this kind of tank is very maneuverable, especially the wide tracks, which are very suitable for driving on snow and have certain wading capabilities.  , this kind of tank can drive directly across shallow rivers without any preparation. "

    "Its gearbox and driving structure are really too backward. Shifting gears is definitely a test for the driver's physical strength. The vibration and noise in this car are also a torture to the human body and ears. Driving this thing  , it takes a lot more effort than driving a T-26 tank, especially a BT tank.¡±

    "However, the biggest advantage of this kind of tank is that the fuel tank has a long loading capacity, and the diesel engine consumes much less fuel than the gasoline engine. In other words, the maximum driving distance far exceeds all the tanks we currently use.  Even the newly-received British tanks are far inferior, and are very suitable for long-distance attacks when there is a lack of fuel supply stations. "

    "It's just the vibration and noise that limits the travel distance to a certain extent. If we complete the maximum range at once, our driver and crew will have to be dragged out of the car, let alone fight.  , After our practice, after traveling up to 100 kilometers at a time, the crew must take one to two hours to rest to recover their physical strength and energy.¡±

    "No. 1, I just thought about it carefully. You are right. When this kind of tank shoots at a long range, the body vibration and the backward sighting system cause the shooting accuracy to be too poor. In our army,  With one already entangled with it, it is difficult to avoid accidentally injuring one of our own, and the tactics we adopt limit the performance of this tank itself. "

    "Instead of doing this, it is better to take advantage of its strong skin and thick flesh to engage in close combat with the enemy. Not to mention the Japanese 37 tank gun, even the 57mm howitzer on the latest Type 97 tank is difficult to defeat.  Penetrate our new tanks at close range."

    Regarding Chen Hanzhang's reply, Yang Zhen did not answer him. He had already pointed out for them how to use this new tank, but how much they could understand had to be relied on themselves. The growth of an army did not rely on the advice of superiors.  They control everything, and control everything too tightly and too strictly, but more importantly, they still have to rely on themselves to think and understand independently.

    Yang Zhen did not give any comments to Chen Hanzhang's words, but pointed to the tank in front of him and said: "You should hurry up and get familiar with this kind of tank. Xiong Dazhen's side has already started the production of artillery shells. It is estimated that it will be produced by the beginning of January.  , we can replenish enough artillery shells. Now that we have a complete set of drawings and sufficient raw materials, the production speed should not be much slower. "

    "However, it is too late to make major changes to this kind of tank, but I think some necessary small-scale improvements can still be made. Installing a command tower and anti-aircraft machine guns on the turret, and welding some small handrails on the body so that the infantry can  Ride a tank while following the tank."

    ¡°The motorized infantry regiment of this division is mainly equipped with wheeled trucks. When passing through complex terrain, the traffic capacity is very poor. With these supports,?, the infantry can ride on the tanks to attack together, at least they can keep up with the traveling speed of the tanks. At the same time, when facing the infantry, they can cover the tanks to clear out the enemy infantry at any time, and use the armor on the tanks to protect themselves.  "

    After that, Yang Zhen asked Chen Hanzhang to transfer an infantry squad from the base guard battalion and let them sit at the engine position behind the tank. They conducted a small drill of coordinated infantry-tank impact with the tank. However, because there were no handrails on the tank,  The tank drove very slowly for fear of throwing off the infantrymen on it.

    Looking at the situation in front of him, Chen Hanzhang thought for a moment and then nodded and said: "No. 1, we don't need the military industry department to weld the handrails. We can do it ourselves. This base still has some remaining steel bars from the construction of the base. Give it to us."  In two days, these 90 tanks can be modified."

    "In this way, when maneuvering in a large area, the infantry will follow the tanks in cars. Once they enter the combat area, the infantry can use the tank's armor cover after getting off the car, reducing the casualty rate of the infantry under the enemy's intensive infantry firepower. At the same time, the infantry will also  Keep up with the speed of the tank's advance and protect the tank from the threat of enemy infantry."

    Chen Hanzhang's ability to draw inferences did not exceed Yang Zhen's expectations. Chen Hanzhang's vision and ability may be a little narrow due to the limitations of the times and original conditions, but if we can give him a little help, we can help him.  If he opens that layer of window paper, he will definitely become a dragon that changes everything.

    There are many such talents with both military and political skills, not to mention the Anti-Japanese Alliance, even if they look at the entire army. Moreover, Chen Hanzhang's long-term vision is beyond the comparison of ordinary cadres. His speed in accepting new tactics and new tactics, especially the new  The acceptance of equipment far exceeds that of ordinary military cadres. Not only is he determined to study, consider and ponder, but more importantly, he has his own unique thinking ability and innovation ability.

    Yang Zhen originally appointed him as the first commander of the Armored Forces of the Anti-Japanese War and was responsible for establishing the Armored Forces. It was not just based on his performance on the Korean battlefield. Moreover, when establishing the Armored Forces Command, because the entire army was expanding, there was a lack of personnel.  As a political cadre, he shouldered all the military and administrative tasks.

    But at least judging from the current situation, he has not let himself down and has done a very good job. For such a talent, there are many problems that he has not thought of. Just a few clicks are enough. Moreover, Yang has specialization in skills.  Zhen only knew a rough idea about the use of armored troops, and was not very clear on some necessary details.

    Therefore, Yang Zhen has always believed that he has too much control, which can only restrict the hands and feet of the subordinates, restricting their ability to think about problems on their own. It is necessary to remind them when necessary, but it is also an appropriate reminder.  Just once, no more is necessary.

    Patting the heavy armor of the T-34 tank, Yang Zhen said: "When modifying, you must pay attention to it. Even if the troops can hold on to the armrests to prevent their bodies from being thrown off by the high-speed impact tank, they must also ensure that the soldiers on board can still shoot.  , and the convenience of getting on and off the bus.¡±

    "Also, all the Italian-made tanks transferred by the British this time are outdated junk goods. Not to mention thin skin, they are also quite unreliable. Even though the British have replaced their cannons, their performance is still the same.  We are very backward. Once we go to the battlefield, our tank crews will either fight or die.¡±

    "The headquarters has selected some of them and sent them to the military factory to remove the turret, install a 75mm field gun, convert it into a self-propelled artillery, and install an anti-aircraft gun, and convert it into a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. The 1st Armored Division is the first unit to be equipped, etc.  After the modification plan is completed, the artillery regiment of the 1st Armored Division will have two 12-vehicle self-propelled artillery battalions, a towed 100mm howitzer battalion, and a rocket launcher battalion.¡±

    "In this way, the 1st Armored Division will be the first to realize mechanization and motorization in the entire army, eliminating all mules and horses, and its mobility will be further enhanced. However, I am very worried about your mechanical maintenance capabilities and the commander's military capabilities.  Can we support such a large mechanized force in combat?"

    "For mechanized force operations, in addition to battlefield and soldier training and other factors, the first priority is logistical support and maintenance support capabilities. The headquarters has now brought you iron horses, equipped with saddles and all equipment, but how can you use these iron horses?  If you can¡¯t really control it, the key depends on you.¡±

    "The equipment is now available, but your maintenance capabilities must keep up, especially the battlefield emergency repair capabilities, which must be strengthened. I don't want those tanks that suffered mechanical failures during the roundabout route in the previous stage of the battle to be destroyed during the battle.  It¡¯s all over, and we haven¡¯t been able to repair it yet, so we have to go on a long-distance attack, and there are broken down tanks everywhere along the way.¡±

    "You are all pretendingThe senior commander and founder of the Armored Forces. The reason why I established the Armored Forces Command was to better mobilize manpower and material resources, and also to better complete our transformation from a single infantry and artillery force to a multi-arms joint operation.  .  "

    "You must have the corresponding vision and ability to meet the requirements of the headquarters. Among them, it is not only your performance on the battlefield, but also the comprehensive qualities necessary for a comprehensive commander.  Logistics and technology are also abilities that you must master. Of course, there are specialties, and you don¡¯t need to be proficient in everything, but you must understand them.¡±

    "How powerful is the engine horsepower of a tank? What is the maximum driving distance? Once a fault occurs, how to troubleshoot it and whether it will affect the continued fighting. You senior commanders must have a certain degree of control in your hearts. You can't just do it all at once.  Something went wrong, and I didn¡¯t know anything.¡±

    "For a technically complex service such as armored forces, you must not only consider how to use tactics, but more importantly, maximize your technical maintenance capabilities so that our iron horses can truly gallop on the battlefield. It is not necessary to control these iron horses well.  An easy thing.¡±
