Chapter 766 Arrogance

South of Havana, close to Batahuano Bay, is a small flat plain. This place has become an important training ground for the "Aurora Legion" army. Most of the combat equipment of a battalion that Zhou Qingfeng got from reality was allocated here.

Among them, the First Guards Battalion, which is dominated by Chinese, and the Second Guards Battalion, which is dominated by Baltimore survivors, divided the equipment equally. Zhang Hong, who has been promoted to the commander of the armored company, is here to be in charge of troop expansion and training.

Zhang Hong likes the new equipment very much. Compared with his old T-62A tanks, the current batch of Type 59 tanks and Type 63 armored vehicles are even more advanced.

Since Zhou Qingfeng only needs old-fashioned tanks for life and death, the old-fashioned 100mm rifled gun and 520-horsepower engine of the 59 have been preserved after careful maintenance. But he once mentioned that the requirement of "easy to use and easy to maintain" has also been paid attention to.

Really take it seriously!

After Xiao Jinlang reported Zhou Qingfeng's request, the Ministry of National Defense saw this request and felt that they saw the warriors in the Middle East and Africa who were "playing" with tanks. The tactics of bicycle charging were created by those guys. For this reason, when maintaining these old 59s, the military factory gave special modifications.

After Zhang Hong received the ten Type 59 tanks from his company, he was surprised to find that there were actually two wide-screen multi-function displays hanging in the turret, one for the tank commander and the other for the gunner. Through more than ten hidden cameras distributed outside the car, a 360-degree field of view without blind spots is realized.

Fuck, is such a modification too childish? !

Zhang Hong walked around the tank, and his first reaction was what if the dozen or so cameras were broken? The second reaction after entering the car for a test drive is that driving a tank like this is as easy as playing a game.

It's cheating, this is specially for rookies and novices. On the battlefield, the reliability of this set of observation equipment is almost zero. If there is a slight problem, the commander and gunner still have to go back to use simple fire control systems and laser rangefinders and other equipment.

But I have to say that this set of equipment is especially suitable for amateur armored units like the 1st Battalion of the Guards who do not have professional instructors and rely entirely on their own elusiveness. This is really the 'people-oriented spirit of innovation'.

As the company commander, Zhang Hong's command tank reduced the amount of ammunition and got him a simple command warehouse. The information of all the armored vehicles of the whole company will be aggregated to him, and as long as it is equipped with a digital map, the command work will become simple.

This made Zhang Hong, who didn't know how to command armored warfare at all, and was still in a state of desperately learning, heaved a sigh of relief.

However, it has been more than half a month since these equipment arrived at the training ground, but the 1st Guards Battalion has not officially used them. After Zhou Qingfeng returned from Baltimore, he wanted to expand the two guard battalions in his hands into a reinforced battalion of 1,000 people, but this plan fell through.

A disqualified officer.

Two unqualified staff officers.

Three not enough diesel.

Officers and staff officers can still make do, but there is really no diesel. To start an armored battalion, several tons of diesel oil and related combat readiness materials will be consumed without doing anything every day. Zhou Qingfeng was stunned for several seconds after seeing the training plan made by the staff, and finally had to give up.

And what do Zhang Hong and others rely on for training now? A simulated tank modified by 750 motorcycles. The ten tanks of the whole company are ten tricycles. Four crew members squeeze into it, cover the turret made of wood, and use large-caliber machine guns to simulate artillery.

"Hahaha..., I see those Chinese are acting again."

"Their car is going to flip over, flip over, really flip over."

"This can also train tank soldiers. God will die laughing."

On one side of the training ground were the soldiers of the Cuban Brigade. The light infantry had an absolute advantage in numbers, and the daily training was much easier than that of the Guards Battalion. Every time they saw Zhang Hong's tank motorcycle come out for training in a serious manner, they always laughed a few words.

Four big men are squeezed on the third wheel, the space is too small, and an impermeable wooden turret makes the center of gravity too high. It will overturn when encountering some bumps in the road, and every time the four tank crews overturn, they are in a panic.

When encountering this kind of situation at first, these amateur Chinese tank soldiers either scolded each other or went up to fight. The hot-blooded man could not stand this kind of malicious ridicule.

But after a long time, they ignored it and silently straightened their motorcycles, either withdrawing from the battle or entering the reserve team. Anyway, no one is wasting energy on such crap.

"War is not based on passion, it means death."

"When others scold, they scold, and when they laugh, they laugh, as long as we can survive on the battlefield."

"You are all elites, the seeds, and the precious wealth of the legion. Each of you has married four wives. You don't have to worry about dropping a motorcycle. As long as you master the combat skills, when our engines start and the artillery fires, the gang of light Infantry only eat ashes."

Zhang Hong, who has been through many wars, can be regarded as a veteran. He has experienced a lot of bullets and bullets. He has killed and been killed. He has seen the corpses of enemies and attended the funerals of comrades-in-arms. The calm military demeanor is getting heavier and heavier on him. To put it bluntly, he has already studied how to kill people as a science.

And just beside the tank training ground, the brigade commander Fedro of the Cuban brigade was leading a group of men to watch the training of the 1st Guards Battalion. Looking at the strange looking tank motorcycle, he sneered and said: "Your Excellency our legion commander must have lost his mind, we don't need tanks at all.

Our security situation in Cuba is the best it has been in the past 100 years, and there is no force around us that can threaten us. I have always suggested that some ordinary infantry should be developed, and at most some navies are needed.

Our military director Katerina doesn't understand this at all, that British girl is too young, she is just a mercenary, how does she know how to form an army? She also wanted me to put down my work and go to the new military academy to study. I want to say that she is the one who wants to study. Are you right? "

Brigadier Federo said to himself, behind him were several other high-level personnel of the Legion. Including Clooney from the Enclave who is now in charge of the legion's foreign affairs, Roma who used to be the commander of the Second Guards Battalion but recently switched to logistics due to health reasons, and his wife Mirta.

The cunning Clooney just smiled at Federo's outbursts, neither approving nor disapproving; Roma, who followed Zhou Qingfeng to fight everywhere, showed a little bit of resentment, but didn't say much; In the clubhouse, Mirta frowned slightly, feeling extremely disappointed.

"I think we should send a suggestion to the head of the legion to reorganize our military command system. For example, we should abolish Katerina's position as military director and let professional soldiers take charge of the military power." Fedro said clearly. It is himself.

And as the commander of the Cuban brigade who controls the most troops of the "Aurora Legion", Fedro is really qualified to say these words. Compared with the Guards Battalion with only a few hundred people, he has more than 5,000 Cuban military personnel, and he is already a very important military leader.

Regarding Fedro's remarks, a large number of Cuban military officers behind him agreed one after another, and kept expressing their willingness to speak to the regiment commander. Some even suggested that the Legion's leadership should be reshuffled, with Fedro in a more important position.

Regarding this remark, Rohm simply said goodbye and left. Clooney laughed and said that he was not feeling well, and followed him. Only Mirta scolded in a low voice: "Fedro, you are crazy! We agreed to just invite these two people to 'Cat's Claw' to relax, what are you talking about?"

"Half of the 500,000 people in the legion are Cubans, and I also control the most powerful army in the entire legion. My subordinates are very supportive of me, why can't I improve my status?

You see, you are clearly in charge of the foreign trade department, but you are kicked out to manage a brothel by an order. This situation makes me angry and I can't bear it. "

"Damn it, I have complaints. It's not unacceptable to be transferred to a position. But your idea is too dangerous. As long as Victor Hugo comes forward, your subordinates will definitely not support you." Mir Taji's hands and feet were cold, and she felt that her husband was really stupid than a pig.

But Fedro smiled proudly, "I don't think so, I think Cuba should be the Cuba of the Cubans, and I should..."

Before the great Federo could finish his speech, an orderly ran over and shouted: "Sir, the commander of the legion has ordered that all officers above the company level in the entire legion be required to attend a meeting in the Capitol."

Federo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he smiled proudly: "I think this is a good opportunity to make a request." (To be continued.)
