Base System of Bashu Heroes

"What's so bad? Everyone is looking forward to it." Liu Tianchu looked at everyone inquiringly. He always had a way to divert everyone's attention. The Sichuan Army has its own tank? It is indeed an exciting thing. Everyone looked at it and said:

The worries about the current situation were covered up by him again.

"Okay! Come with me, everyone." After the scholar finished speaking, he left his seat and walked out first, and everyone followed him.

In the air defense warehouse of the Xuzhou Arsenal, a row of 24 majestic new tanks in camouflage paint were lined up. Next to the tanks, hundreds of 107 rocket launchers and 20mm anti-aircraft cannons followed closely behind. People who didn’t know better thought it was a weapons exhibition.

.

Everyone opened their mouths and stopped. The camouflage painting and tank style on the tank felt very familiar to Liu Tianchu. After looking at it carefully, he asked the scholar: "Does this tank look familiar?"

The scholar deliberately kept everyone in suspense: "Like that country's tanks?"

Liu Tianchu couldn't say anything for a moment, and Ma Liangjun walked up the first few steps: "The sloped armor is very similar to the latest Soviet design."

The scholar nodded and said proudly: "Brother Ma has good eyesight. Let me tell you that this tank combines the advantages of the Soviet T34, German Tiger, Panther, and American M46 tanks. Our tank adopts the latest design slope of T34.

The armor and protection capabilities are greatly improved. The cast turret and a large number of stamped parts make maintenance very convenient. The 42-times caliber barrel, 59 rounds of ammunition, and the 105-caliber main gun do not lose the powerful firepower of the Tiger tank. As for the speed,

This tank uses the famous 12-cylinder 39-liter V2 diesel engine with a power of 500 horsepower. The advantage of the V2 diesel engine is that it is fuel-efficient. The tank has a fuel tank capacity of 460 liters. With a 39-liter reserve fuel tank hung on each side of the body, the range can reach 550 kilometers.

The speed of 75 kilometers per hour is even beyond the reach of the Panther tank. Its streamlined appearance is comparable to the American M46, but its weight is only 22 tons, which falls into the medium tank range."

Ma Liangjun, who is very familiar with tanks, asked doubtfully: "Scholar, a 22-ton medium tank uses a 105-caliber gun. Does our tank have the ability to withstand this?"

Scholar Wan'er smiled: "Brother Ma is really an expert. Yes, the weight of 22 tons cannot withstand the recoil of the 105-caliber artillery, but I have improved the recoil system of the artillery. In the future, our self-propelled artillery will use this tank chassis.

, the caliber may be larger.”

The scholar then introduced the three 7.62mm general-purpose machine guns and the 20mm anti-aircraft cannon on the vehicle, as well as the number and location of the personnel on board. The four people on board included a vehicle commander, a gunner and two loaders. Finally, the scholar specifically emphasized,

Rocket launchers and tanks are equipped with rangefinders, which greatly improves the hit rate of rocket launchers and tanks.

Everyone listened dumbfounded. Liu Tianchu and Tang Shizun almost didn't understand. However, Tang Shizun and Liu Tianchu were concerned about the same issues, which were relatively direct. Tang Shizun asked the scholar: "Compared with the Japanese Tank 97, what about that?"

sharp?"

The scholar sneered disapprovingly: "So, if any tank in the world hits a target within 3,000 meters, it will be scrapped immediately. The Japanese tanks in front of our tanks are not only unable to penetrate, but also save the shells and can be directly damaged.

it."

Tang Shizun clicked his tongue. "What about the anti-tank guns? How about the defense against anti-tank guns?" Ma Liangjun next to him asked eagerly.

The scholar replied: "I have tested both the 37 anti-tank gun and the bazooka we are equipped with, and they cannot penetrate. Although our tank armor is only 18-30 mm thick, the quality of the steel plates we produce is the best of any smelting company in the world.

The factory can’t do it.”

Liu Tianchu absolutely believed that in terms of steel smelting technology, the base car was at least 80 years ahead of the world's advanced technology. Liu Tianchu quietly poked the scholar and asked in a low voice: "Where did you get so much steel?"

The scholar also replied in a low voice: "There are iron mines all over the Rizhao Mountains. I know the location of the iron mines, which saves me time on detection."….

"Where is the oil well with the largest daily oil output in Dongying? We haven't completely controlled Shandong yet. Aren't you afraid of being bombed by Japanese planes?" Liu Tianchu said with a smile.

The scholar pointed at the 20mm machine gun and said: "Do you think the machine gun is just a decoration? With the current flying speed of the Japanese propeller aircraft, it is difficult to protect itself within the firepower range of the machine gun. The important thing is that I believe in you and drive the Japanese army out of Qilu.

, you can definitely do it.”

Liu Tianchu's nose felt sour, he stared at the scholar for a long time, and smiled to himself: "It's all up to you to break the situation in Shandong. I still have the Japanese Navy code book I gave you. Give me three copies, and give me the manufacturing blueprints for the assault rifle.

, give me five days, I will go to Shanghai, and after five days I will give you enough steel to make tanks. You are right, the eastern Henan area is full of plains, which is very suitable for tank operations."

"you mean?"

The scholar did not understand for a moment that although the code book was important, it could not be used for steel. Liu Tianchu did not explain to him and continued: "You and Chen Jiaqi will discuss it and set up a branch of the Sichuan-Sichuan Military Training Institute in Xuzhou, and in Zhengzhou and Xuzhou or Sichuan

Major colleges and universities are recruiting students and focusing on training artillery, tanks, navy, air force and battlefield ambulance personnel. This must be done as soon as possible."

The scholar nodded. "Dongfang Zhenhua is already implementing it. He is already training navy members on the basis of his original subordinates. Lin Babao, with the support of Chen Jiaqi, is also training tank operators. The operation of our tank is very simple, and uneducated people

You can drive it after a few days of familiarity. The key point is that the gunner is more important, and it is difficult to master it without education."

"Chen Jiaqi and Dongfang Zhenhua are talented people!" Liu Tianchu admired sincerely. He suddenly thought of another question: "Does the tank have a name?"

The scholar hesitated. "I took the initiative and called it a "hero"."

"Not bad, very good, very impressive." Liu Tianchu was very satisfied with the name given by the scholar and praised it greatly.

As the two talked, several army commanders and division commanders listened. Everyone thought that Liu Tianchu would give a solution to the current situation. They didn't want Liu Tianchu to keep silent. However, everyone's running was not in vain. According to the 10 rocket launchers per division,

The weapons were allocated with 10 anti-aircraft machine guns, and the tank was naturally given to Ma Liangjun. Ma Liangjun almost jumped up with joy and quickly established a tank brigade. So far, each division has its own artillery regiment.

The Twelfth Army also had a tank brigade under Ma Liangjun. After the meeting ended hastily, everyone returned to their respective positions. Liu Tianchu brought Ronghua and Dongfang Zhenhua to Shanghai.

Shanghai, which has fallen, is still as prosperous as before, with feasting, singing and dancing.

Liu Tianchu and others stayed at the Shanghai World Hotel. Liu Tianchu told Dongfang Zhenhua his idea. He wanted to sell the code book and assault rifle blueprints to the United States and the Soviet Union in exchange for steel and oil that the Sichuan Army urgently needed.

Dongfang Zhenhua agreed with Liu Tianchu's idea. In the current situation, only overwhelming restraint in firepower could drive the Japanese army out of Qilu, so Dongfang Zhenhua took Ronghua to the embassies of the United States and the Soviet Union to contact the ambassadors of the two countries. The reason why Liu Tianchu took him Dongfang Zhenhua came because he studied in the United States, and his home is in Shanghai. He has many classmates and former friends, and has a certain interpersonal foundation in Shanghai.

After the fall of Shanghai, all the embassies of various countries in China moved to Chongqing along with the government. There was only an office in Shanghai that dealt with expatriate affairs...
