South of Havana, close to Batavano Bay, is a small plain with gentle terrain. This has become an important training ground for the "Aurora Corps" army. Most of the combat equipment of a battalion obtained by Zhou Qingfeng from reality is distributed here.
.
Among them, the 1st Guards Battalion, which is mainly Chinese, and the 2nd Guards Battalion, which is mainly Baltimore survivors, share this batch of equipment equally. Zhang Hong, who has been promoted to commander of the armored company, is responsible for troop expansion and training here.
Zhang Hong likes the new equipment very much. Compared with his old T-62A tanks, the current batch of Type 59 tanks and Type 63 armored vehicles are more advanced.
Since Zhou Qingfeng only wanted old tanks, the old 100mm rifled gun and 520-horsepower engine of the 59 were retained after careful maintenance. However, he once mentioned that the requirements of 'easy to use and simple maintenance' were also taken seriously.
It’s really important!
After Xiao Jinlang reported Zhou Qingfeng's request, the Ministry of National Defense felt like it was seeing those warriors who 'played' with tanks in the Middle East and Africa. The tactic of bicycle charge was created by those guys. For this purpose, it is maintaining
When these 59s were old, military factories specially modified them.
After Zhang Hong received ten Type 59 tanks from his company, he was shocked to find that there were two wide-screen multi-function displays hanging in the turret, one for the commander and one for the gunner. Through more than ten monitors distributed outside the vehicle
Hidden camera enables 360-degree field of view without blind spots.
Damn it, this kind of modification is too childish?!
Zhang Hong walked around the tank. His first reaction was what if the dozens of cameras were broken. His second reaction after entering the car for a test drive was that driving the tank was as easy as playing a game.
What a scam, this is specially designed for novices. When it comes to the battlefield, the reliability of this observation equipment is almost zero. If there is a slight problem, the commander and gunner still have to go back and use the simple fire control system and laser measurement
Distance meters and other local equipment.
But I have to say that this set of equipment is particularly suitable for amateur armored units like the 1st Guards Battalion, which have no professional instructors and rely entirely on their own fickleness. The human-machine efficiency is so good that the training efficiency is greatly improved. This is really a 'people-oriented innovative spirit'.
As the company commander, Zhang Hong reduced the amount of ammunition on the command tank and built a simple command warehouse for him. The information of all the armored vehicles in the company will be summarized to him. As long as it is equipped with a digital map, the command work will become easier.
Simple.
This made Zhang Hong, who had no idea how to command armored warfare and was still struggling to learn, breathe a sigh of relief.
However, it has been more than half a month since these equipments arrived at the training ground, but the 1st Guards Battalion has not yet officially used them. After Zhou Qingfeng came back from Baltimore, he wanted to expand his two Guards battalions into a 1,000-person reinforced battalion, but this
The plan fell through.
An unqualified officer.
2. Unqualified staff officer.
3. Not enough diesel.
The officers and staff can make do, but there is really no diesel. To get an armored battalion up and running, if you do nothing every day, you will consume several tons of diesel and related combat readiness materials. Zhou Qingfeng has seen the recommendations made by the staff.
I was stunned for several seconds after the training plan, and finally gave up.
And what do Zhang Hong and others rely on for training now? They rely on simulated tanks modified from 750 motorcycles. The ten tanks in the entire company are ten three-wheeled motorcycles. Four crew members squeeze in, and a turret made of wooden boards is covered outside, and a large-caliber machine gun is simulated.
The artillery can be trained once everyone is in position.
"Hahaha... Look, those Chinese people are acting again."
"Their car was going to flip over, flip over, really flip over."
"This way we can also train tank soldiers. God would laugh to death."
On one side of the training ground are the soldiers of the Cuban Brigade. The light infantry has an absolute advantage in numbers, and the daily training is much easier than that of the Guards Battalion. Every time they see Zhang Hong's tanks and motorcycles coming out for training seriously, they always
A few words of ridicule.
Four big men are crammed into a three-wheeled vehicle. The space is too small. Coupled with an impenetrable wooden turret, the center of gravity is too high. It will overturn when the road is bumpy, and the four tank crew members will be embarrassed every time it overturns.
Unbearable.
When encountering this situation at first, these amateur Chinese tank soldiers would either yell at each other or get into a fight. The hot-blooded men could not stand such malicious ridicule.
But as time passed, they stopped paying attention and silently straightened their motorcycles, either withdrawing from the battle or entering the reserve team. In short, no one wasted energy on such nonsense.
"You don't fight with passion, you kill people."
"Just scold others when they scold them, and laugh when they laugh. As long as we can survive on the battlefield, that's fine."
"You are all elites, seeds, and valuable assets of the legion. Each of you is married to four women. There is nothing to worry about if you throw a motorcycle. As long as you master combat skills, when our engines start turning and the artillery fires, those young men will
The infantry only eat ashes."
Zhang Hong, who has experienced many wars, can be considered a veteran. He has experienced a lot of fire and bullets. He has killed and been killed. He has seen the corpses of enemies and attended the funerals of his comrades. The calm military temperament has become more and more important to him.
To put it bluntly, he has studied how to kill people as a science.
And right next to the tank training ground, Fedro, the commander of the Cuban brigade, was leading a group of his men to watch the training of the 1st Guards Battalion. Looking at the strange-looking tanks and motorcycles, he sneered and said: "Your Excellency, our regiment commander must be
There's something wrong with our brains, we don't need tanks at all.
Our security situation in Cuba is the best in the past 100 years, and no forces around us can threaten us. I have always suggested that we just develop some ordinary infantry, and at most we need a navy.
Our military director Catalina doesn't understand this at all. The British girl is too young. She is just a mercenary. How can she know how to form an army? She also wants me to put down my work and go to the new military school to study. I
I want to say that she is the one who needs to learn. Are you right?"
Brigadier Federo said to himself. Behind him were several other senior members of the Legion. Including Clooney, who came from the 'Enclave' and is now in charge of the Legion's foreign affairs. He once served as the commander of the 2nd Guards Battalion, but recently due to health issues
Rom, who changed his job to a logistics job, and his wife Mirta.
In response to Federo's nonsense, the cunning Clooney just smiled, neither agreeing nor disapproving; Rohm, who followed Zhou Qingfeng to fight everywhere, showed a trace of dissatisfaction but didn't say much; and he was kicked to the 'cat's paw' recently
In the club, Mirta frowned slightly, feeling disappointed.
"I think we should issue a suggestion to the army commander to reorganize our military command system. For example, Catalina should be abolished as military director and let professional soldiers be in charge of the military force." Federo said clearly in his words.
It is himself.
As the commander of the Cuban brigade that controls the largest number of troops in the 'Aurora Legion', Federo is really qualified to say these things. Compared to the Guards Battalion, which has only a few hundred people, he has more than 5,000 Cuban military personnel, which is already a very important force.
The head of the army.
Regarding Federo's words, a large number of Cuban officers behind him agreed and expressed their willingness to advise the commander of the corps. Some even said that the leadership of the corps should be reorganized and Federo should be given a more important position.
In response to these remarks, Roma simply said goodbye and left. Clooney laughed and said he was not feeling well, and also left. Only Mirta scolded in a low voice: "Feedro, you are crazy! We agreed to only invite these two people.
Come and relax at Cat's Paw, what are you talking about?"
"Half of the 500,000 people in the legion are Cubans, and I also control the strongest army in the entire legion. My subordinates all support me, why can't I improve my status?
Look, you are clearly in charge of the Department of Foreign Trade, but you were kicked out of an order to manage a brothel. This situation makes me angry and I can't stand it."
"Hell, I have a complaint. Transferability is not an unacceptable thing. But your idea is too dangerous. As soon as Victor Hugo comes forward, your subordinates will never support you." Mir
Taji's hands and feet were cold, and she felt that her husband was stupider than a pig.
But Federo smiled proudly, "I don't think so. I think Cuba should be Cuba for Cubans, and I should..."
Before the great Federo could finish speaking, a messenger ran over and shouted: "Sir, the commander of the corps has issued an order requiring all officers of the corps and above to go to the Capitol for a meeting."
Federo was overjoyed when he heard this. He smiled proudly and said: "I think this is a good opportunity to make a request."
