Compared with the soldiers' envy of the T62 tanks, I think those wheeled armored vehicles are more useful.
Especially Huang Jianfu and other tank soldiers. They had just faced the Vietnamese T62 on the battlefield, so they knew the performance of the T62 very well. They knew that the performance of the T62 was a little or two better than the 59 in all aspects.
Point, just like the battle in Tongmian, five Vietnamese T62s faced off against each other
Our army has fifteen 59 vehicles, and the Vietnamese T62 does not have infantry coordination. Our infantry has gone through a period of infantry-tank coordination training, in addition to the support of anti-tank missiles on the 518.6 Highlands... With such a large strength
Despite the gap, two tanks of the Vietnamese army were still able to break out of the encirclement.
Although the result was that three Vietnamese tanks were destroyed, which was more than the two tanks of our army were destroyed... But everyone knows that this result is not ideal under such circumstances.
The reason... is actually very simple, tank names can vary too much.
As a result, the tank soldiers naturally regarded the T62 as a treasure, and everyone was vying to have a look inside the T62 and open it...
This thing is indeed a treasure, all kinds of performance data are there, and the facts on the battlefield also tell us that it can indeed fight!
But... one thing I know very well is that tanks are not as good as sniper rifles or machine guns... We don't have svd sniper rifles, so why don't we take a few and dismantle them and do some research? A copycat version will be available within two years.
It's out. The structure is simple, just produce it according to the size of the parts.
But tanks are different. There are all kinds of complicated things in them, such as barrel technology, engines, suspension systems, fire control systems, etc... Many things here need to be supported by industrial technology.
Even if we get this industrial base, we still can't build it.
This is indeed the case... Our army captured one of these T62 tanks as early as 1969 during the battle with the Soviet Union on Zhenbao Island, but our army is still using the 59 tank.
As for the imitation of the T62...if there is one, it is the Type 69 tank of our army.
Strictly speaking, it cannot be said to be a replica, because the development work of this Type 69 tank was to produce a prototype long before the capture of the T62... It was a project that started in 1963. It was originally because of the many flaws in the Type 59, so
If you want to improve it, who knows what will happen next is the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations and the loss of Soviet technical support, and then another long decade, so the work progresses very slowly.
The slowness here almost means crawling forward at a snail's speed. As a result, a T62 was captured in 1969... This was simply a great gift from the Soviet Union, so many T62 technologies
It was transferred to the Type 69 tank, and the tank was finalized. It is precisely because of this that the Type 69 is called "Type 69".
But the value has changed. This tank was not mass-produced and officially equipped with troops until 1982... The reason is very simple. The industrial base is weak and many technical problems have not been solved.
This is also the reason why our army is still using the Type 59. At this time, there was also the Type 69... I heard Huang Jianfu say that he had seen it, but it was just because it was a copy of the T62, so the tank gun was also a 100mm smoothbore gun... This
Come
That’s not good. Our army’s Type 69 tanks all use rifled guns, and the shells are not universal. We can’t specially prepare a few cars for these Type 69 tanks to transport shells! (Note: The Type 69 tanks were batch-equipped in 1982.
The tank has been converted into a rifled gun)
So...this is also the reason why I am not optimistic about this batch of captured T62 tanks: the shells are not universal. Our 59 uses a 100mm rifled gun, while the T62 uses a 115mm smoothbore gun. And many of the things there are not at all
Our country's industry in this era can produce it, so what's the use of handing it over... You have to bring special artillery shells to the battlefield. After you shoot them, you have to wait for death. If they break, there are no parts to replace them. If one of them breaks down, there will be one less...
On the other hand, this wheeled armored vehicle is different. There are not so many complicated gadgets here. The weapon system is just a turret on the top. Even if you modify it yourself with other machine guns, it won't be a big problem. What's more important is that our synthetic battalion
There is no shortage of tanks, but there is a shortage of armored vehicles... Many shortcomings of the Type 63 armored vehicle still need to be improved, so it would be just right to replace it with this wheeled armored vehicle for a period of time.
Besides... our army didn't pay attention to the development of wheeled armored vehicles at this time. In the battle just now, we used wheeled armored vehicles combined with rocket launchers to easily destroy more than ten tanks of the Vietnamese army. So the superior said
Maybe you will look at wheeled armored vehicles in a new light.
In the end, I guessed it right... The superiors originally thought that the vitality of the wheeled armored vehicles was much worse than that of the tracked ones. Well, the wheels of the wheeled ones may be damaged even if they are fired by a machine gun, unlike the tracked ones.
Durable and majestic. But when I heard that I actually used a wheeled armored vehicle to annihilate more than a dozen tanks on the battlefield... I was suddenly shocked that such a thing could happen!
Of course, there are conditions for using armored vehicles to annihilate more than a dozen tanks. Just like in the battle I fought, those tanks had no infantry coordination and were old-fashioned tanks with poor night fighting capabilities. Otherwise, even if I have the ability to do so.
There is no way to use armored vehicles to fight tanks.
But even this is enough to change the equipment thinking that leads by "imagination".
The so-called "imagination" is to take it for granted without experimenting, and assume that this is not good and that is not good. Unexpectedly, once it is used on the battlefield... it is shocking.
So within two days, the superiors urgently sent people to take away three of the armored vehicles we captured... As for what the three armored vehicles were used for, it goes without saying that everyone knows.
At this time, the speed of the convoy obviously slowed down, and I couldn't help but feel a little surprised... You must know that there were motorized infantry from the 73rd Army clearing the way, and there were infantry guards along the road. What could make the convoy slow down?
?
"What's going on?" I asked.
Correspondent Xiao Liu listened on the walkie-talkie for a while and then reported: "Batalion Commander, there seem to be many fellow villagers in front of us, and they are all blocking the road!"
"Fellow?" I felt a little strange after hearing this... This place is not far from the war zone, maybe the artillery shells will hit here, and it's still night, what are the people doing here!
"Battal commander!" the correspondent said, "the fellow villagers are here to greet us!"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head... Someone must have arranged this big deal? All formal things have been brought to the battlefield... And this seems to be a bit too much. Letting the people come up is not caring about the safety of the people.
What to do if some stray bullets or artillery shells come over!
But I soon learned I was wrong...
As the convoy advanced, the first thing I saw was the soldiers of the 73rd Army anxiously chasing the people. Some even shouted: "Folks, the battle has just ended. It is dangerous here. You should go back quickly!"
But the common people did not listen to the soldiers' advice at all, and continued to gather more and more on both sides of the road. Some were waving to us, some were shouting thank you, and some were even bowing to us...if they were not responsible
The vigilant soldiers blocked us tightly. They had already swarmed up and immobilized our convoy.
I waved my hand and asked the driver to pull over the jeep. I got out of the car and asked a cadre in confusion: "What's the situation? They are..."
"Report to the chief!" The cadre stood up in front of me and replied: "They are all common people of Banwang. When they heard that our army had recaptured Banwang, they spontaneously came up to greet them and refused to leave no matter how hard I tried to persuade them!"
"Oh!" Only then did I realize that I had guessed wrong just now.
"Comrade, comrade..." At this time, there was an old woman waving to me from outside the cordon. Because she was supported by two relatives, she looked like she was about to fall down with this wave.
I hurriedly took a few steps forward to support her and said, "Mom, be careful!"
"Oh! I'm fine!" The aunt held my hand tightly with her thin and dry hands and said, "Comrade, it's the Japanese Japanese you fought off...Thank you, thank you!"
"Mom, this is what we should do!" I said.
I was a little touched at this time, because under the flash of car lights, I noticed that my aunt was already in tears.
"Comrade!" The aunt was so excited that she said inarticulately: "I... my old man is buried over there, and my family's ancestors... I thought I would never be able to go see them in this life, but now
I downloaded it and got it back... Thank you so much!"
"Comrade!" Someone next to me said, "We have lived in Banwang for generations. We thought we would never go back... I didn't expect that good news came today. It's great! Thank you.
!”
This was quickly followed by thank yous one after another. Although I have heard these words many times, and although the people came in a hurry and brought nothing with them... I can still feel their most sincere hearts.
Then I quickly ordered the soldiers to get off the car and line up, and then saluted the common people in front of me...
This serves two purposes:
The first is to let the people get what they want and thank the soldiers who took their homes back for them, so that they can leave this place of right and wrong earlier.
The other... is to let the soldiers listen to the people's heartfelt thanks, because I think these thanks are the most worthy of our fighting, hard work, sacrifice, and dedication!
Otherwise, what are we doing for? For the eight yuan monthly allowance? For the five hundred yuan pension? Or for the prestige in front of other troops?
In fact, it is none of them. It is just for the people to keep their homes. This is the foundation of our pride and pride!
