Chapter 172: Assault Chariot

July 2, 2018, Daxing Airport.
If we count the time when the Japs landed in Tianjin, the entire Tianjin-Beijing battle has lasted for nearly 2 months.
Daxing Airport barely put one runway into use at the beginning, and now it has built a third runway. The entire airport has been built into the largest frontline airport in the Beijing-Tianjin battlefield. It is responsible for about 30 of the Southwest Army's northbound transportation and supply tasks.
Outside the Beijing-Hankow Railway, the Southwest Army provides the greatest guarantee for maintaining the four divisions fighting.
Every day, you can see planes taking off and landing non-stop here. The first runway is used for fighter planes to take off and perform air suppression and aerial bombing missions. Due to the current extremely tight logistics, air combat missions are still limited to emergency support and air attacks on enemy infantry groups.
Artillery positions, etc.[
The runway is of the highest quality and is responsible for the take-off and landing tasks of the -31 heavy transport aircraft. This heavy transport aircraft flying from Taiyuan North Airport is now the main model of the Southwest Air Transport Brigade, with a one-time capacity of up to 5 tons.
The weight of this transport aircraft makes this kind of transport aircraft so prestigious that even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing knows that the West
There is a behemoth in the south. The transportation volume of one flight can be compared with the transportation volume of a squadron of the Kuomintang Air Force. From the initial 50-31 transport aircraft, to the Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Factory with full power, three shifts started, and two
After producing 40 aircraft per month, the entire northbound transport fleet has reached a transportation level of nearly 100 aircraft.
The third runway is a backup runway, which is mostly used by on-site transport aircraft as a backup runway. Although the construction of the current airport is relatively simple, it still consumes a lot of energy from Southwest.
"Captain, you had a good time in Zhengding this time. I see you've turned pale since you haven't seen anyone these days."
Xu Wenyou, the second battalion commander of the third division, happily said to Dai Anlan on the side that the third regiment received an order from the superiors and came here to receive a new equipment. Originally, the second battalion commander was sent to receive it, but Dai Anlan had just arrived from Zhengding (Shijiazhuang)
I dropped by on my way back after flying back. Xu Wenyou also picked up Dai Anlan by the way.
"They are all battalion commanders. They are not old or young yet." Dai Anlan scolded him slightly. The latter just "touched" his head. He had been away from the battlefield for a few days and didn't even smell the smoke. Of course he would turn white.
But speaking of it, I’m really not used to it these days. “It’s nothing. You’ll know next.”
As the best performer on the entire battlefield and the first unit to take action against the Japanese army, the Third Regiment made many achievements, especially in buying time for the main force and in the battle to defend Langfang. During this front-line change of equipment,
The third regiment was appointed by Chen Jun to receive the troops without hesitation.
The rules of the Third Division have become that important tasks are assigned to the Third Regiment. Dai Anlan received an order a few days ago, asking him to go to Zhengding to attend a military meeting there.
"Boom boom..."
Amidst the roar of the aircraft engine, another transport plane flew from the southwest, lowered its altitude, and landed.
"Captain, the plane is here. My intuition tells me that this time it is definitely right."
"I don't know what equipment I will receive this time." Dai Anlan nodded to Xu Wenyou, took the cigarette he handed over, took out the Sun brand lighter he bought for five yuan and lit it with a bang. This kind of thing is also available abroad.
A lighter named ZPP has good windproof performance and stable flame and smoke burning. It is a very popular lighter brand among the officers and soldiers in southwest China. The most common model only costs 50 cents, and ordinary soldiers can afford it.
.
"Hey, Commander, let me use it. I like your lighter." Second Battalion Commander Xu Wenyou snatched the lighter and lit it with a click. He watched the light blue flames rise and smoked with satisfaction.
He went over, lit it, and took a breath. Although the military discipline in the southwest is very strict, it does not include this time. There are no special regulations for smoking as long as it does not delay the mission. "Tsk, tsk, good stuff, but it's a pity that it's a bit expensive.
, A man must have a good lighter, and you, the leader, are good at this. I heard that in foreign countries, this thing costs more than ten dollars or even dozens of dollars each, which is terrifyingly expensive."
"Let's go. When the Battle of Tianjin and Beijing ends successfully, this lighter will be given to you." Dai Anlan smiled and took back the lighter. He knew that Xu Wenyou's family conditions were not very good. In addition to his paralyzed father, he also had a very capable child.
My daughter-in-law has a heavy burden to support the family. It is impossible for her to be willing to spend five yuan to buy a lighter like myself. And under his leadership, the second battalion, although somewhat ruffian, fought bravely and strategically.
, especially his third company commander Hou Xiaoshan, who is like a monkey, fighting without risking his life, but using his anger and brains to kill the enemy.
"The leader is so kind. We are worthy of our friendship."
While the two were chatting and laughing, they had already boarded the car and arrived at the airport tarmac. The transport plane had opened the tail door and was unloading cargo. When she saw a strange car driving out of the cargo hold of the plane, Dai Anlan swallowed her saliva.
."Weasel battlefield assault vehicle..."
"Lieutenant Colonel Major" A second lieutenant officer who came out of the warehouse walked straight to Dai Anlan and saluted.
"Second Lieutenant, I am Lieutenant Colonel Dai Anlan of the Third Regiment of the Third Division who is responsible for receiving equipment. This is my Second Battalion Commander Xu Wenyou." Dai Anlan returned the courtesy and handed over his military officer ID card. A logistics officer came up.
, with the cooperation of another airport security official, checked the documents of the two people.
"Lieutenant Colonel Dai Anlan, I am responsible for escorting this batch of Weasel battlefield assault vehicles. Please sign for them."
Immediately, Dai Anlan and an officer from the Logistics Department came forward to confirm their signatures on the documents, thus receiving the batch of equipment on the spot.[
Xu Wenyou walked up to Dai Anlan and said in a low voice, "Tsk, captain, this thing is really awesome. Why is it even on the front line?"
"Yes, I saw it in the cutting-edge weapons class of the military school back then. This is a very excellent paratrooper tactical assault vehicle. Before the air transport capacity can not reach a high level, this type of assault vehicle is most suitable.
The infantry charged quickly."
Dai Anlan's face was a little solemn. Many military cadets had taken the cutting-edge weapons course in the military academy. However, everyone was a little skeptical about the weapons and equipment described in the class. After all, some of the weapons were beyond people's knowledge.
Imagination, even more, every weapon has a clear name.
For example, this Weasel battlefield assault vehicle, judging from the pictures accompanying the text of that year, has a very simple structure, a very powerful engine, and almost meets the requirements for all-terrain maneuvers on the battlefield. It has a strong ability to pass obstacles, and the front baffle of the assault vehicle cab has a certain
The anti-defense function, combined with the Ripper heavy machine gun, machine gun or a grenade launcher introduced in the article in the back seat, will play a huge role in chasing the enemy or breaking through the blockade. This is a
Superior infantry ultralight combat vehicle in low armored battlefield strength.
While he was thinking, the Weasel assault vehicle had slowly driven over. Although the assault vehicle was far inferior to the armored vehicles and tanks equipped in the southwest, Dai Anlan still fell in love with it at first sight. Sitting on the cab was a man
Driving a soldier, two weapons have been installed on the back seat. One is a grenade launcher that can be controlled from the seat next to the driver, and the other is a tornado that can be controlled by a single person in the back seat.
The Ripper heavy machine gun. It's almost exactly the same as the picture in the cutting-edge weapons course back then.
"Maybe one day the weapons in the pictures will appear in front of us. Maybe they have already been tested in a laboratory in the southwest." Thinking of those strange weapons in the cutting-edge weapons class, think about it carefully.
, Dai Anlan has seen at least three kinds, one is a strategic transport aircraft that is somewhat similar to the large transport aircraft in front of him, and the other is a transport aircraft that has been transported over the years.
Individual rocket launchers that have been updated and issued to the troops one after another, one of which is the Weasel battlefield assault vehicle. Think of those behemoth strategic bombers in class, and the super-high-speed machine guns that can intercept a position in an instant. One shot
He even had the illusion that these weapons might be on the market within a few years.
"There are two more planes landing soon. You can pick them up together."
The second lieutenant officer briefly introduced that the weight of this Weasel assault vehicle is not light, almost a ton. At least one -31 can only transport up to 4 Weasel assault vehicles and its special grenades. The first batch
This time, 24 vehicles will be transported to the front line, not only to put new weapons to the test in order to test weapons for the paratrooper units being formed, but also as a selective supplement when heavy armored forces are difficult to transport to the front line quickly.
"Second lieutenant, although these assault vehicles are useful, we also need armored vehicles and tanks more. Could you please report it to the logistics department and transport them to the north as soon as possible?" Xu Wenyou, chief of staff of the regiment, rubbed his hands and said with a sneer on his face.
.
The second lieutenant officer from the Logistics Department smiled and then saluted, "Major, the Logistics Department is studying the needs of the front line every day, and the relevant equipment is already in the transportation plan."
"Then when can we go north?"
"Sorry, this is a military secret."
Dai Anlan smiled and apologized to the second lieutenant, "I made you laugh. He is just overly curious. He will confine himself when he returns."
"Captain..."
Dai Anlan saluted and got into the assault vehicle. The soldiers brought by the Third Regiment also jumped into the cab and started the assault vehicle. Regarding Xu Wenyou, Dai Anlan saw it from two sides. This boy has always been a relatively undisciplined person.
Guy, but he is still very good at fighting.
In less than an hour, two more -31s landed, and Dai Anlan successfully received them. The assault team composed of a total of 12 Weasel assault vehicles was indeed very popular, attracting side glances from the soldiers at the airport along the way.
, looking at the sturdy shape of the assault vehicle, the ferocious heavy machine gun barrel and the grenade launcher, it makes people shudder, and they can't help but sigh that it is another murderous weapon.
However, the convoy was stopped before it left the airport.
"Who is Dai Anlan, the commander of the third regiment of the third division?"
A captain in charge of airport security came over, saluted and asked.
"What's the matter?" Dai Anlan jumped out of the car in confusion. He had just returned from Zhengding and was planning to go to the military headquarters after receiving this batch of equipment. Has there been any change on the battlefield?
"I just received an order forwarded by the military headquarters, asking Commander Dai to go over immediately. There is an urgent mission." The captain conveyed the order he had just received concisely and clearly.
Dai Anlan nodded and asked Xu Wenyou to take the commando back and maintain it before he got into a Weasel assault vehicle and drove directly towards the military headquarters.[
Some readers reported that the reading fee for one chapter is too expensive. I'm sorry for this problem. Xiaoyu's subscription fee is the default standard and has not been increased by even a penny. The unit price is fixed. The higher the number of words, the more expensive it will be. As for that person
The works mentioned by readers are only a few cents, I think
That's because the number of words is too small, only 3,000 words per chapter. This chapter was written in advance and posted in the morning on time. I was taught a lesson by my girlfriend in the evening, and I learned from it. I'll see if I can update it stably in small chapters from now on. 3,400 words,
Chapter completed!
