The sun never sets in America

Chapter 447: Armored Division’s First Test of Water
In the suburbs of Longcheng, Youzhou, a huge military camp was built in just ten days. It was not an ordinary military camp with a house, but a complete military camp with a runway, a training ground, and even a "drill field."

This kind of construction speed is actually rare in the current Han State. After all, the Han State has been established for so many years, and the early days of frantically spending money on infrastructure are gone forever.

Han's railways and roads are now second only to those of the United States of America, with more than 100,000 kilometers of railways, not to mention one million kilometers of third-class highways.

If the first dozen years before the founding of the People's Republic of China was a period of rapid construction, then now it is a period of "slow growth." This has nothing to do with Han's economy, it is simply saturated.

In the earliest days, you could even see the miracle of building a building in a month, but now, if there is still one, it is the military camp code-named "One Hundred" in front of you.

.........

"one two three……"

"one two three……"

"Beep!!"

On the playground, a long team of about 500 people was galloping in the billowing smoke, accompanied by constant whistles. It was said to be galloping, but in fact it meant "walking fast".

Dong Ziqin looked at the silent Jiang Wenxuan and took the initiative to ask a question.

He looked up at the battlefield on the opposite side that was still blazing with machine gun fire. He Shaowu's face turned pale. He was finally awakened by a few beeps behind him. In the end, he could only pick up the rifle that was already covered with mud and follow the people in front of him. The large troops far away ran towards the high ground ahead.

Dong Ziqin's words sounded to Jiang Wenxuan's ears like he was comparing their hundred divisions to "a bloodthirsty wolf" and kept shouting.

.............................................

"In war, you die or I live." This sentence kept appearing in his mind. He Shaowu, who had just strangled an American soldier who was only fourteen or fifteen years old in the quagmire, lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

"We won't let you appear in difficult battlefields for the time being. Let's start with a simple fight. Use the blood of Americans and practice for a while. Then you will naturally become familiar with it..."

Jiang Wenxuan's eyelids twitched, and then he answered: "General Dong, our current training is already very fast. If we speed up further, I'm afraid that both soldiers and officers will not be able to bear it..."

"It's about defense. They have defense that we don't have!!"

"By the way, the training speed should be faster. I just received the battle report. The situation on the Great Lakes battlefield is not as optimistic as it was at the beginning!!"

"Chariot" can only be a chariot! !

"The positions and cities are the two checkpoints that they have stuck on our military road. Only by breaking their myths can we completely defeat the Yankees' psychological defense..."

"General Dong, our current preparations are actually pretty much the same, but if we really go to the battlefield, I think we should start from the position first!!"

"These are very important for positional warfare with a large number of defenders, and are even more strategic than plain warfare..."

"When is the latest time you will go to the battlefield??"

"General Dong, the importance of a tank is not the artillery or the thick steel plate, but the speed and the accompanying intensive firepower..."

After all, positional warfare has the highest mortality rate. As a new army, shouldn't it start with the simplest encirclement and annihilation warfare? Even in a plain war, the riders can exert the performance and power of the Lion Chariot without appearing. Falling into position, being surrounded and dying happens.

Jiang Wenxuan's tone was a little low and sounded extremely linear, which was inversely proportional to his figure. When talking about those running grassroots officers, although he was finding fault, it was obvious that he was actually satisfied with these people. Yes, but sometimes such words cannot be said in front of Dong Ziqin.

On another high platform, Dong Ziqin stood under the national flag. The sun shone down, just enough to connect the black and red of the national flag to him, giving him a strange "hazy feeling". Next to Dong Ziqin stood a man of different stature. He is tall, even a little short, with a height of over 1.6 meters, and wears a two-star face-packing general.

When Dong Ziqin, who was opposite Jiang Wenxuan, heard these words, his expression kept changing, and then he said: "Just follow your instructions, hit a big one, fight back, and show those Americans!!"

"Is the biggest difficulty our military currently faces with the US military that they are stronger, more cunning, and tougher than us? No, none of them..."

Hearing Jiang Wenxuan's refusal without hesitation, Dong Ziqin raised his eyebrows and asked:

"I am from a cavalry background. I have good physical fitness and good marksmanship, but my thinking is too old and cannot keep up with our way..."

Dong Ziqin understood what Jiang Wenxuan said, so he said directly:

Jiang Wenxuan, who was opposite him, obviously had his own logic:

"They come from the most elite cavalry units. They have a deeper understanding of how to cooperate at high speeds and even organize an army than the infantry. When necessary, they can even pick up rifles and grenades to fight when the tank is damaged..."

And if you want to deal with someone, the best way is to start from the heart. Now, what other way to break through the defense line can make the guy on the opposite side completely lose his fighting spirit? ?

"Bang bang!!"

"Don't tell me about the end of the year, we don't have that much time, and let me tell you, the basic frameworks of the other two cities are ready, and it will be considered complete next month at the latest..."

The word "complete" rang in Jiang Wenxuan's ears, making him feel a "stab in the back" from his peers. He originally thought they were fast enough, but he didn't expect those two bastards to be faster than him. , maybe even these two guys are planning to join the war before they are ready! !
"General Jiang, if I remember correctly, your current training is basically over, right?"

Dong Ziqin, who was opposite, looked at the smoke and dust below again, and then said:
"Although having a cavalry background is a big problem when it comes to learning new things, it doesn't mean that these guys can't complete the mission..."

Dong Ziqin watched for a while and suddenly said something that seemed to have nothing to do with this matter.

Dong Ziqin waved his hand and pointed to the team still running in the smoke and dust below.

Dong Ziqin kept talking about the benefits of being a cavalryman, and Jiang Wenxuan, who was opposite him, obviously agreed with this statement.

"Why, why is it a positional battle??"

"General Jiang, what do you think of this group of people??"

"Yes, it's basically over, but we are the new army after all. If we go to the battlefield recklessly, I'm afraid!!"

Jiang Wenxuan took the initiative to put forward opinions and had to fight the most difficult positional battle from the beginning.

After Jiang Wenxuan heard this sentence, he already understood what the other party said. He nodded heavily, then found another topic, chatted for a few words, and asked people to prepare meals.

"Besides, I don't think it's the right time for us to go on the battlefield. Our division's training on the Lion Chariot is actually very inconsistent. Even if we include the early time of driving the first-generation vehicle, it only takes half a year. To be honest, we go to the battlefield at this time. To be honest, I’m not sure!”

Jiang Wenxuan's words are very obvious, that is, attacking the city is the priority, and attacking the heart is the priority. After all, no matter how powerful the battlefield is, it is made by machines after all. If it is made by machines, there will be flaws and flaws.

Dong Ziqin didn't understand that the other party wanted to fight a positional battle first. After all, no matter how you put it, it was not in line with your interests.

The gun bolt continued to rotate and pull backwards, continuously firing out golden bullet casings.

"Huhu", He Shaowu's forehead was constantly sweating, and his whole face looked flushed, which was much better than the pale appearance just now.

But this is not excitement, but the natural reaction of the body after the fear is released.

He Shaowu was not afraid as he shuttled on the battlefield with constant gunfire, but he just had one request, that is, could the military boots be less leathery next time and could they be looser so that they could breathe a little more, it was so hot! !

"Huhu", gasping for air, looking at the position in front, He Shaowu was constantly calculating the route in his mind. He was like a mouse locked in a bellows, constantly scurrying around.

"Bang bang bang!!"

"Damn", with a curse in his mouth, He Shaowu bent over and jumped into an abandoned trench.

"Crack", stepping in the trench full of bones and putrid smell, He Shaowu endured nausea and pulled the magazine, then took out the magazine in his pocket, stuffed it in, loaded five yellow-orange bullets, and then He pulled out the thin magazine and threw it on the ground.

"Special code, what kind of fate do I have, to be with a group of dead ghosts!!" Looking at the bones and carrion that were still being eaten by rats along the way, He Shaowu cursed a few words, and then continued to run forward.

The reason for running was not only because it was disgusting, but also because when he was on the other side just now, he clearly saw the artillery position on the other side that was loading ammunition. If he didn't run at this time, he would really fight with these gangs. "Foreign Ghost" is my companion.

After running through countless positions, He Shaowu saw the most disgusting thing in his life. Corpses, rats, rotten odor, and rotten meat, together constituted the four major "phenomena" in the trenches.

Traveling through it, in He Shaowu’s words: “Maybe hell is cleaner than here!!”

"Da da da!!"

The machine gun bullets coming from an unknown direction accidentally hit He Shaowu in front of him, scaring him so much that he rolled and crawled out of his position.

And when he came out of the position, he saw the most unforgettable scene in his life.

The iron shell emitting black smoke had a long nose. This was He Shaowu's first reaction after seeing it.

"Click, click, click." When the bullets from the machine gun hit him again, He Shaowu realized the huge danger.

"Damn it," he cursed again and jumped back into the trench he had just managed to climb out of.

"Click, click!!"

Listening to the sounds coming from outside and the vibrations on the ground, He Shaowu felt for the first time what "earth shaking" meant. He even felt like he was about to be crushed to death.

"Forehead……"

Swallowing, He Shaoan felt a kind of fear that he had never felt before. This kind of fear was something he had never felt before, not even when he fought with the little guy and finally strangled the other person to death.

"Uh..." He kept swallowing his saliva, and the expression on He Shaoan's face became paler as the movement got closer.

When the tracks of the chariot rolled over the trench, He Shaoan, who was hiding under the dead body, waited for a long time before slowly crawling out.

And when he climbed out and looked across, he saw something that made him "swear".

Those iron lumps were using the "boogers" shot out of their long noses to continuously bombard the US artillery position just now.

At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew what it was, but after he realized it, He Shaowu didn't even have the courage to curse.

After all, he almost died in the hands of his own people. It is impossible to say that he has no thoughts in his heart. But just like the Han army's regulations, after being killed by his own people, he can be treated as a martyr. As for the person who killed him, he must also be treated as a martyr. In this case, if it was due to carelessness during the war, other than punishment, it would not be of much use.

After all, war is like this. It is impossible to kill the shooter just because a few stray bullets kill a few people. If this is really done, then no one will dare to shoot, because on the battlefield, the possibility of stray bullets is actually higher than The probability of hitting is even higher, but it depends on whether it hits one of your own.

If it hits, it's a big deal; if it doesn't, it's no big deal! !
“What on earth is this thing? Why haven’t I seen it before??”

"A new weapon? Is it the same as that airship??"

He Shaowu looked at the iron lumps that were still shelling, and his whole mind had one reaction, "This thing is so big and thick."

"Boom boom boom!!"

The tank's artillery shells, as if they had been measured and aimed, hit the opposite artillery position like sandbags.

Even before the U.S. artillerymen leveled their artillery and fired directly, the charging tank was like an elephant breaking into a china shop. It not only had a huge body, but also had a flexible proboscis, and those "shooting stars" nose”.

"Da da da", the machine gunner wearing a soft hat stood on top of the tank and kept shooting at the surrounding American soldiers. These soldiers didn't even have the ability to resist, so they were shot through their bodies and fell to the ground. On the position they had just set up.

"Oumai!!"

"What the hell is it!!"

Lieutenant Colonel Siko, who was in the command post behind the artillery position, looked at the three black behemoths rushing towards this side, and he felt as if "the world has changed" and that he had been transformed by God.

"Boom boom", before Lieutenant Colonel Siko could guess the origin of the Lion Chariot, a cannonball fired from a distance of 900 meters sent him to meet God.

"Send a telegram and say that our team has invincible troops ahead!!"

The chariot captain Ke Shounan, whose head emerged from inside, looked around and saw only corpses and fragments of artillery pieces. He gave instructions to the on-board telegraph operator below in high spirits.

Soon, this telegram, symbolizing the first victory of the Han Armored Division's armored troops, was sent back to the rear.

And the phrase "There is an invincible army in front of our team" has become the slogan of the Han armored forces for a long time to come.

.........

"Squeak", the sound of the track movement sounded in the trenches, and the U.S. soldiers hid below the trenches scared that they did not dare to show their heads. They were relieved until the "black devil left.

But soon, they felt something was wrong, because as soon as the chariot left, their outer positions were already occupied.

Not those black devils, but the infantry that have always been dealt with.

When the sound of "da da da" sounds, it means that they have failed in the battle for position.

This is the power of tanks and infantry. The tank breaks through and the infantry follows up. It seems no different from the most old-fashioned infantry and artillery coordination, but it actually brings out the biggest breakthrough advantage of the tank.

"Bang bang bang", the Han soldiers who jumped into the trench fired several shots on both sides without saying a word, and this was often accompanied by the roar of submachine guns.

Although the popularity of submachine guns among the Han army has become higher and higher, the actual use of weapons is not as high as imagined, and even on most battlefields, it can only be heard.

After all, according to the current rate of fire and distance of submachine guns, they actually cannot pose much of a threat to the enemy troops hiding in the trenches. The time when they can really pose a threat is often when they break into the trenches like now.

But in normal times, this kind of direct entry into the trenches is actually very rare, and it can even be said to be pitiful.

But today, submachine guns, which rely on tanks to gain new vitality, have become second only to tanks in this criss-crossing, "maze"-like position.

If there is a so-called contribution list at this time, then the first place must be the Lion Chariot, and the second place is not a machine gun, but a submachine gun! !

"Da da da", the submachine gun in He Shaowu's hand kept sweeping, knocking down several enemy soldiers in the trench who were just about to shoot.

"Creak, creak", a familiar voice came from above the trench. Looking up, hundreds of tanks were crossing the position code-named fifty-five where he was, heading towards the US military farther away.

Even on the battlefield, there was a "strange" scene of several tanks chasing hundreds of American troops. This kind of scene was like a tiger getting into a flock of sheep. Those who were killed first were often the ones with the largest bodies. Thin and the slowest runner.

"Ah, ah..."

The chariot rolled over, and there were constant "screams" below. When it was all over, there were traces of blood and residual flesh on the ground where it had just been pressed, as well as a crushed stone that I don't know what it looked like. Bloody ball.

"Gulu", He Shaowu, who had been observing from behind, swallowed his saliva. When he looked at the chariots again, in addition to shock, he only felt "heart trembling".

On the battlefield, this kind of situation is very common. Many chariot soldiers of the Han army like to do this kind of thing. It's not that they are perverted, but that they think this method can more effectively deter the enemy.

However, this behavior was reprimanded by the repairmen after the war, because for those of them who replaced the tracks, it was simply a visual feast of "disgusting opening the door for disgusting mothers, disgusting as hell".
