One Hundred and Seventeen Evil Thoughts
When it comes to fuel consumption, it's not just the army who drink fuel now. The real big consumers of fuel consumption are the air force units that have been equipped with hundreds of fighter jets. In order to ensure the air safety of their own army units, these planes all have to act together with the main army units.
The terrifying production speed of -109 fighter jets was fully reflected at this time. It took less than a year for the Air Force of Ireland Hill to grow from nothing, but the number of fighter jets provided by the factory has reached an astonishing amount. of nearly a thousand.
If it weren't for the constraints of engine production capacity and the total amount of fuel, Ireland Hill may now have 100 fighter jets - at least 400 fighter jets have been manufactured, and they can be assembled into new ones just waiting for the engines to be in place. Fighter jets take off.
The good news is that because of the magic ball of knowledge from the Holy Demon Empire, Ailan Hill's air force training is really fast. After deploying so many fighter jets in one breath, there has never been a shortage of pilots.
On the one hand, it is because the knowledge magic ball is much more efficient than listening to lectures in class. On the other hand, it seems that the mortals in this world are slightly stronger than the earth civilization in terms of physical fitness.
It is understandable if you think about it. After all, humans on earth only need to face tigers and lions. This world has to live under the teeth of giant dragons, and human beings have naturally evolved a stronger physique.
In short, when selecting pilots, although the elimination rate is very high, there are still a large number of qualified personnel who can become Air Force pilots or become Air Force reserve pilots through knowledge magic balls and night school learning.
In addition to the air defense fighters in the big cities, Ireland Hill has also assembled a field air force of about 200 in the south. These fighters must be advanced with the army in combat conditions. Fuel consumption is even more astonishing.
However, these "oil-drinking dragons" are not useless. They made Chris and the senior management of Alan Hill make up their minds and gave up part of the anti-aircraft gun production capacity. In this way, the saved steel and the demand for artillery shells can be subsidized for the production of new products such as automobiles.
Chris vigorously produced cars and increased the caliber of artillery, while equipping new weapons such as tanks to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. The reason why he did not produce armored vehicles also has his own considerations.
On the one hand, the opponent does not have strong firepower to threaten the infantry fighting with the tanks, so Chris feels that his troops do not have such a strong demand for armored vehicles. In comparison, the Army hopes to equip more trucks to improve the mobility of the troops. ability.
On the other hand, armored vehicles are also big fuel consumers. Until the problem of his own oil supply is completely solved, Chris cannot make his troops fully mechanized. He had to control some fuel consumption so that the troops could keep fighting.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Higgs Kingdom had opened up its oil exports and was willing to cooperate with Ireland Hill to increase its own oil production, Chris would not even dare to equip his troops with such advanced equipment as tanks.
It is precisely because of the increase in the oil production capacity of the Higgs Kingdom that Chris began to mass-produce the 4 medium tanks whose drawings had already been prepared. However, compared with aircraft, the production rate of tanks is a bit too slow. Chris plans to set up two tank battalions with about 90 tanks for test training within two months.
In fact, this is already a very bold development plan, because after all, the oil fields of Ailan Hill are still in the hands of the Higgs Kingdom. Once there is a supply problem with oil, Ailan Hill will inevitably experience oil shortages.
In order to deal with such an extremely bad situation, Chris, Des and others have drawn up a secret action plan, ready to mobilize the instructors near Serris and the 1st Army at any time to cooperate with the 2nd Army in the direction of Naru , launched a pincer attack at the fastest speed and occupied the entire Higgs Kingdom.
It is conceivable that, in order to ensure its own oil supply, Ailan Hill did not hesitate to directly put the most main instructors and the two oldest, most well-equipped, and most effective armies into battle. This has already been explained. Its emphasis on oil supply.
You know, even for the seemingly more powerful Arlantean Empire, Alan Hill only deployed the 4th Army and the 6th Army on the front line. The 5th Army led by Bourgeois, who was deployed in the Falling Dragon City, was actually responsible for the defense mission.
Ryan, who was sitting in the tank, didn't know that he had attracted the attention of countless famous generals. He was commanding his tank, merging with the other two tanks, and cooperating with the radio to cover up the combat status of the charge.
The three tanks formed a triangular offensive formation one after the other, the tracks ran over the slightly soft soil, and rushed up the hillside quickly-they broke through a row of fences and ran over some potholes, showing a better The cavalry is more powerful off-road capability.
This is also the pride of tanks, they can persist in many situations, but they are not as delicate as cavalry. With proper maintenance and enough fuel, these steel behemoths can keep attacking to the end of the world.
Including the machine gun on the tank turret, a tank must be equipped with more than three machine guns. These machine guns allow the tank to have a simple anti-air defense capability, and also make the tank a mobile fortress for slaughtering enemy soldiers.
If necessary, when no artillery attack is needed, the commander, the artillery commander, and even the electromechanical operator can use machine guns to attack the enemy's infantry, and because of the condescending relationship, such an attack is more effective.
In all eyes, the tanks took to the high ground and won this exercise demonstration experiment. Seeing that these tanks turned around and drove down the hillside, and finally stopped in front of the auditorium, all the officers stood up and applauded the tank soldiers.
They really like this new weapon, and unlike the trucks responsible for transportation, this new weapon that faces the enemy is more likely to drive soldiers crazy. This is also the reason why the models of tanks during World War II are familiar, but few people remember the specific model of the truck.
"Crack!" Ryan, who opened the hatch above his head and leaned half of his body out of the turret, stood at attention and saluted to the officers in the auditorium. Beside him, the gunner who also showed his head also put his palm beside his temple with excitement.
Only the unlucky loader can't stick out his head, but he can relax and rest at leisure, and he doesn't need to stand upright to be inspected by the generals in the distance.
The three tanks were parked side by side and stopped in front of all the generals at close range. It was really a very oppressive scene: In this era, it is not a derogatory term to describe tanks as tall and mighty, thank you Mantank's cute height is by no means a disadvantage in the eyes of Vagron and others.
After all, there is still no concept of bombing area. In the traditional sense, commanders hope that their troops will have a better momentum - as for hiding themselves, it is just a strange concept.
Therefore, Chris chose a 4 tank with a tall and more comfortable interior space. Everyone did not object, and even felt a little relieved: that low and poor-looking t-4 tank, of course, it is better to give up...
"Very good! Your performance today is very good! I know that you have formed the first tank teaching company! The future of the army depends on you!" Vagron walked to the front of the tank, stroking the cold and thick of steel plates, and praised with satisfaction.
He really likes the heaviness, and it is definitely something to celebrate for him to be able to run a 50mm thick welded steel plate at a cross-country speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
The weapon in front of us, called a tank, is more powerful than cavalry: it can attack faster than infantry, its firepower is comparable to that of artillery, and its defense is even more terrifying than ever before! If this thing does not drink oil but eat grass, Vagron even wants to equip 1000 of these weapons!
It's a pity that he also saw the weapon performance introduction sent to his hand. This kind of tank can only run 180 kilometers with full fuel. Although it is still very good in terms of distance, this distance is not satisfactory in actual combat. .
But the good news is that so far, the Army has not found an enemy weapon that could stop the advance of this weapon. Therefore, on the books, the driving distance of more than 100 kilometers is almost the actual attack and pushing distance.
"I'm looking forward to the future performance of the tank units!" Modlar, who was the second to pass by these tanks, still had an excited expression on his face. Although the fuel consumption had temporarily dispelled the idea of deploying a large number of tanks, he still thought that The Army will equip more tanks for combat use in the future.
He is not the only one who thinks this way. Army generals believe that this weapon can change the future combat mode. At least for now, it seems that tank propulsion is accompanied by trucking troops, and the distance of one day's propulsion has expanded from 0-50 kilometers to a terrible 50-100 kilometers. From the perspective of time, it is possible to save more resources.
Although the fuel consumption is higher, food, ammunition and even casualties may be reduced, which makes people feel that the investment in gasoline is worthwhile.
However, what makes people laugh and cry is that, watching the tanks in front of them, the senior generals of the army, more than one person has an evil thought in their hearts: "Is it possible, find a time to annex the Higgs Empire to a greater extent. better?"
