The scene in front of them made those old antiques dumbfounded. They have been soldiers all their lives, so they naturally understand what this thing means. The real master of the land battlefield now is the cannon, because it can attack the enemy from more than ten or even dozens of miles away.
To carry out a strike, that is to say, the advantage lies in the strike distance. However, no matter what kind of artillery, it is impossible to attack targets hundreds of miles away, but aircraft can.
And according to the introduction of Kunpeng Company, the combat radius of this kind of aircraft reaches hundreds of miles. Even if it is loaded with bombs, it can easily fly hundreds of miles. What does this mean? This is equivalent to a cannon with a range of several hundred miles, and the accuracy is even more than
Cannons, real cannons, let alone hundreds of miles, even dozens of miles, do not have such accuracy. When the navy and army generals who came with Yang Feng looked at the planes in the sky, their eyes immediately became extremely hot.
"Everyone, this is just a small plane. Have you ever thought about it? It can carry bombs weighing several hundred kilograms. What if it is enlarged ten times? Can it carry several thousand kilograms of bombs? If it is not used for
What if it bombs the enemy on the battlefield, but flies to the enemy's capital and drops the bombs at their arsenal? What if it is enlarged a hundred times and carries tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of kilograms of bombs and drops them directly on the enemy's city?" Yang Feng
He looked at them and said quite proudly.
A group of generals shuddered, it would be a sea of fire, and even the smart ones began to imagine the scenario when the bombs were replaced with white phosphorus incendiary bombs.
In addition to the Flying Eagle fighter-bomber, there were also Swordfish torpedo attack aircraft manufactured here at the same time. Ten of them were also manufactured in the first batch. Of course, this thing cannot be tested in Shaanxi, and the supporting light air-dropped torpedoes are also
This kind of torpedo has not yet been manufactured. Yang Feng is not going to let Beauty Avatar make it because the high-precision machine tools he purchased from Hyundai and the torpedo factory in Fuzhou can already manufacture steam gas torpedoes with completely up to standard quality, so he directly puts this torpedo.
The task was given to the torpedo factory to be developed by those engineers, which also gave them an opportunity to practice.
In fact, this torpedo is not very difficult. All the technologies are mature, but it is just reduced on the existing basis. Besides, the Swordfish torpedo weighs 760 kilograms, which is not small.
After leaving Xi'an, Yang Feng did not return directly to Beijing. Instead, he took the accompanying generals straight to Luoyang, where another major project of his had also borne fruit.
Luoyang.
"Your Majesty, please see, this is our Tiger Chariot." In a heavily guarded workshop owned by Great Wall Heavy Industries, the company manager excitedly opened the tarp in front of him, revealing the steel beast inside.
This tank is a complete copy of the Tiger that was equipped on a large scale by Yang Feng during the Republic of China. It is also a later diesel version of the heavier Tiger. Except for the engine and gearbox, which are currently not produced by Great Wall Heavy Industry, all other parts are produced by Great Wall Heavy Industry.
Especially for the Christie suspension system, even Yang Feng himself did not expect that they could manufacture it according to the drawings that fully met the requirements. In fact, the engineers here can also manufacture the engine and gearbox, but the failure rate is relatively high.
It’s just not as reassuring as the beauty avatar. This problem also exists on his plane.
His engineers can also build a 700-horsepower piston aero engine, but the failure rate is too high and it is estimated that there will be less than five years. It is difficult to solve this problem. Fortunately, it is not a big deal. It is just to let the beautiful avatar build more
, so far he has stockpiled tens of thousands of aircraft and tank engines. Even if there is an accident, it will be enough.
Seeing a row of thirty steel beasts in front of them, the generals were stunned. They really didn't expect that their Emperor would actually hide such a good thing. In fact, at this time, armored vehicles had already appeared in Europe. After all, they had
During the war between the Confederacy and the United States, the Confederate army used armored bulldozers to defeat the US cavalry. This had long been widely praised by newspapers from various countries. Moreover, the automobile industry at this time, stimulated by Yang Feng, had already matured. Last year, the total automobile production of various countries in the world had exceeded
Ten million vehicles, if they don’t know how to rivet armored steel plates on their cars, then the Europeans would be too slow.
In the recent Balkan War, the British gave ten armored vehicles to the Bulgarians in an attempt to replicate the scene in which the Confederate Army overran the U.S. Army. Unfortunately, these vehicles were too crude and did not adapt to the battlefield environment. The result was that they broke down.
They were destroyed by grenades and artillery shells, and only two rushed to the position. Unfortunately, because they did not have the ability to cross the trenches, they all became prisoners of the Ottomans.
"Everyone, this is the future king of land warfare, the tank!" Yang Feng proudly pointed to his Tiger tank and said.
"A three-hundred-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine, a hydraulic coupling gearbox, a total weight of eighteen tons, a maximum speed of fifty-five kilometers, equipped with a 57-mm smoothbore cannon and three heavy machine guns, and a frontal armor thickness of fifty
Millimeters, not to mention machine gun bullets, even artillery shells cannot destroy it, unless an artillery piece with a caliber of more than 50 millimeters uses a specially made solid armor-piercing projectile to hit it from a distance of several hundred meters, or a cannon shell with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters hits it directly.
It explodes on its body, otherwise nothing can stop its progress.
If such a steel beast is allowed to rush to the position, even if it does not use its artillery and machine guns, its eighteen tons of weight alone will be enough to crush the enemy's defense line. The specially designed crawler tracks can easily cross any terrain.
Obstacles, barbed wires, trenches, and even enemy bodies were crushed.
No matter what the terrain is, they can come and go with ease. No matter the vast plains in the north, the water network rice fields in the south, or even the distant desert next door, their steel tracks are unobstructed." The general manager of Great Wall Heavy Industries used a salesman's tone to express His Majesty the Emperor.
added.
Of course, the words are unfounded. If you want to really impress the generals, you need to get them out for a walk. Of course, this work cannot be done near Luoyang. Great Wall Heavy Industry itself has rail tracks connecting the Longhai Railway, and thirty tanks are directly in the factory area.
The contents were secretly loaded onto the train, covered tightly, and then left Luoyang with Emperor Yang's special train. After arriving in Beijing, they transferred to the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway and exited customs. Then they drove straight ahead along the railway from Zhangjiakou to Kulun, and stopped at a small station on the Xilin Gol Prairie.
.
Then all the tanks were unloaded and continued eastward along a simple road. Along the way, these steel monsters were speeding like lightning. Under the shocked eyes of the generals, they followed closely the military vehicles they were riding in, and then drove into a valley.
A large military camp is under construction here.
This is Yang Feng's future armored training base. These thirty tanks are their first batch of equipment. His target price is to form three armored divisions within three years to meet his three strategic attacks on Russia after the war.
direction.
Once the war begins, these three armored divisions will serve as the vanguard of the assault, piercing the bodies of the Russians at the same time from three points: Ili, Kulun, and Tianyou. However, tanks are easy to build, so soldiers and officers must be trained as early as possible.
As soon as the brigade of chariots entered the valley, the soldiers who were busy building the military camp immediately made a sensation. When they saw His Majesty the Emperor stepping out of his special car, they all stood there in shock. Emperor Yang was very surprised.
Nodding with satisfaction, he could now finally see that these soldiers did not kneel down subconsciously when they saw him. Although seeing others kneeling in front of him should be considered a kind of enjoyment, Emperor Yang hated this habit deeply.
This guy waved his scepter, showed imperial majesty and spat at the soldiers, and then ordered Nie Xianfan, head of the Royal Army's First Tank Training Regiment and son of Army Minister Nie Shicheng, to lead his subordinates to receive their tanks.
Of course, it will take some time for these people to become familiar with the driving and use of tanks. Yang Feng does not have that much time to accompany them here. The next demonstration will be directly handled by the technicians of Great Wall Heavy Industry. In addition to opening the eyes of those generals,
It was also to let these soldiers see why they came to this desolate ravine outside the Great Wall.
Under the order of Emperor Yang, this elite regiment selected from the army quickly built a standardized defense line in the valley. There was no shortage of trenches, barbed wire, and bunkers. Then the entire regiment led the entire regiment as if in combat.
Solid ammunition entered the position, and then thirty tanks launched a charge.
Nie Xianfan was still a little hesitant at first. After all, he had live ammunition. Although he did not have heavy artillery, he did have 82 mortars. Even these were live ammunition. Other grenades, grenades, and heavy machine guns were all standardized equipment.
, although these steel monsters look scary, who knows what will happen if they actually fight?
It wasn't until Emperor Yang showed an impatient expression that this guy actually gave the order to open fire. The entire defense line instantly erupted like a volcano. These are elites who have experienced hundreds of battles. Once the gunshots were fired, they immediately entered combat mode, and the machine guns and rifles were densely packed.
The bullets sent sparks flying out of the charging tanks, and the precise shooting of the grenade launchers caused grenades to explode around and even on the tanks. Unfortunately, these things could not stop their progress at all.
Soon these steel monsters rushed to the barbed wire against the bullets and grenades fired wildly from the opposite side, and then these things that the infantry hated most were crushed under them like noodles. Seeing this scene, it was quite disturbing.
Nie Xianfan, who was a little irritated, directly ordered the mortars to fire, and then heard the shells whistling and falling one after another, because within the visual range, the gunners fired accurately. Although the possibility of direct hits was unlikely, those shells were not likely to hit directly.
The 82mm mortar shell was barely within ten meters of the tank. Countless shrapnel flew in the explosion, and sparks shot out when it hit the tank.
But unfortunately, even so, the chariot is still rumbling forward. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
