After the report was submitted, the reply was quickly received. The superior ordered the arsenal to fully support Zhao Hu in its establishment of this mechatronic camp within its ability, and our regiment commander Zhao was once again delegated to serve as the commander of the first battalion, but he did not regret it at all, because once this battalion was successfully built, it would not be replaced by a brigade commander!

As the name suggests, the Mechanical Camp is naturally mainly mechanized. In the eyes of everyone, I thought it was like the Japanese armored convoy, which could be used to play a huge role at critical moments. In fact, no one knew that this Mechanical Camp is not just for the purpose of attacking, but to exert its powerful maneuverability and can appear in unexpected places of the enemy at any time. To put it bluntly, this is a powerful interspersed force, which will be like a steel knife, shattering the Japanese defense!

It is true that if you want to build such a motorcycle camp, it is impossible to succeed without strong financial resources. With the current resources of the Eighth Route Army, you can build at most one battalion. No matter how many, it is impossible for Lao Shen to take it away, the headquarters will not be able to bear it!

With the ability to maneuver, the equipment of the entire battalion naturally needs to move closer to automation. Zhao Hu first prepared a generation of sharp guns for the infantry: Bayi Bar, this gun and Bayi Light Machine can form a gun family, and most of the parts can be interchanged, greatly reducing logistical pressure.

Since we had to use the newly developed copper-clad steel gun bullet, the original m60 machine gun was not suitable, because the eggshell was only covered with a layer of thin copper on the outside, and making a straight egg was still not conducive to shell extraction. Zhao Hu had to choose a pkm machine gun, which was the Type 80 that was exported in large quantities later. He had no patent restrictions and used whatever gun was suitable. Moreover, the old gun that was most exposed to in Afghanistan was also the old gun.

Don't underestimate this kind of machine gun. It weighs only more than 12 kilograms, which is similar to the current Czech style. This is a heavy machine gun. It is much lighter than the old horse who can't move for fifty or sixty kilograms. Besides, this gun is only used for a conical egg of 7.62 by 54, which is just paired with a copper egg. The six or seven-seven-modified model weighing fifteen kilograms was not selected by Zhao Hu because it was afraid that the manufacturing level would not be up to standard and would become stuck.

Zhao Hu chose the heavy machine gun on the vehicle without hesitation. Anyway, no one needs to resist, so the heavy ones should never be light. Besides, the light armored combat vehicles of the Japanese army may be a bit laborious to fight the m2 of 12.7mm, and the 14.5 can be easily broken through and tear it!

After he quickly solved the light weapons, he began to consider the heavy weapons of the Mechabat. The transport team brought back the prototype car he had always wanted: three M24 Xiafei, which had just been produced in the United States!

Some people say that the Xiafei tank is the most outstanding light tank in World War II. It is no exaggeration. This light tank with a weight of only more than 15 tons was carefully built by the Cadillac Automobile Factory. The main gun of the 75mm m6 tank, button suspension, 24.5mm armor, and the most advanced fire control system at present, make Xiafei's comprehensive performance surpass all light tanks in one fell swoop and ranks among the best!

I bought dozens of sets of fire control equipment such as electro-hydraulic steering machine, gyroscope, sighting device, quadrant and azimuth at one time. In addition, there are also many engines and m6 gun barrels. This is not only a matter of price and capacity, because the Americans themselves are not enough for the Xiafei tanks. It is already the ultimate ability of Jerry and the purchasing staff to be able to sell three vehicles.

Of course, these samples are not impossible to build, but time is too tight. After the imitation is made, the Japanese may surrender, so Zhao Hu can only buy them now and use them now, and build the Jibu Camp first to catch up with the last few battles!

In addition, there are some disadvantages of the Xiafei tank, such as the tracks are too narrow and the 24-mm armor is a little weak. So when he purchased the purchasing team, he asked them to discuss with the United States and replace the tracks with 72 cm wide. At that time, feedback from the British battlefield also came to the United States, saying that the tracks are too narrow and easy to fall into the sand. This opened the eyes of the United States. The Eighth Route Army without tanks can say one, two or three, which shows how excellent their military design talents are. With a big stroke, three tanks are half price!

It is of course a good thing to be able to save money. This is why Zhao Hu doesn’t buy more. Most of the parts on the tank are stupid and stupid. As long as there is suitable steel, you can make it yourself. Why spend that money in vain?

Of course, besides the engine, the most difficult part to manufacture on the tank is the turret joint. The two huge circles must be tightly tactless and cannot tolerate any carelessness. If it doesn’t match it a little, the turret will not be able to rotate!

This will test the ability of the machine tool. In addition to the need for large machine tools, it also has to be extremely high. If you are not careful, a large piece will be scrapped. However, Zhao Hu doesn't have to worry at all. Who asked him to have a machining center? As long as you enter data, the big circles from the car are better than those made by the Americans.

A group of masters in the machinery factory watched Xia Fei for a long time, then unloaded the tank eight pieces. Each part was removed, marked one by one, and then measured it in reverse. This was a system project, and it was too urgent to come. Zhao Hu couldn't help, so he had to let everyone work hard and go to see the preliminary training of Jibuying himself.

The reason why most water guerrillas were allowed to participate in the mechatronic camp was that the soldiers were nervous, and the other was that they had some contact with the motorboat and had a certain understanding of the engine. If soldiers who could only shoot came up, they would definitely be able to catch their hair.

Yu Dapao and Mao Ku had played tanks and became instructors. Unfortunately, they could only fight alone. They basically had a slight understanding of the cooperation between tank marching and the coordination of insurgents. Zhao Hu had to admire his foresight and let the American textbooks brought back by the transportation team be able to improve the training first. As for how to change, there is no need to worry. So many movies and TV series before were not for nothing, and the director who was squeezed by the door was not counted!

The training outline was changed for a few days, and the two of them took it to the barracks as soon as they got it, which made Zhao Hu have no place to get it. In their words, you can invent weapons with peace of mind. We will do these rough tasks. Many tanks are not shelled yet. Don’t wait for the troops to train and drive without a car!

Zhao Hu, who was amused and crying, had to focus on weapon manufacturing. A mechanized and infantry battalion was not just a tank. Not only did it have to defend air, but it also had to defend infantry. In other words, there must be a tough vehicle and an anti-aircraft gun. The armored transport vehicles that deal with suicide Japanese must be built, and a three-dimensional force with a distance, land and air defense are not enough to avoid short legs!

Air defense is simple, just like the Americans. Using the Xiafei chassis to build an open anti-aircraft gun car. It is enough to drive away the enemy planes with a double-barrel Erliton. No matter how tall a bomber is, it can only compete for character!

The armored personnel carrier is simpler. It has an iron box with more shooting ports on it. There are no three defenses or air conditioners. Everyone is here to fight, not to enjoy the happiness.

Of course, personnel carriers also have weapons. A double-barrel 14.5 machine gun will fight against the 95 tanks, and even if they hit people, they will not leave all the corpses. They are equipped with magical barriers to sand gods and ghosts to kill ghosts!

The weapon is ready to shoot, and then we have to go to the porcelain kiln to see if we can get the composite armor out. With that thing, the Japanese's seven-fifth cannon can only scratch it!
Chapter completed!
