Chapter 1070: The Birth of the Armored Force!
1070, The Birth of the Armored Forces!
Tang Yu followed Kristina to the air-raid shelter, and found that the hole dug earlier had been cleared out, and the wires were pulled in, and light bulbs were installed to illuminate the entire interior of the air-raid shelter. There are also two high-power blowers placed at the entrance, which are blowing air towards the inside. Now the musty smell in the air-raid shelter is no longer so pungent.
"The ventilation facilities are being cleaned up, and our state-of-the-art air purification equipment will be installed later, and then this place will be used as an important weapon warehouse. When necessary, it can also be used as a shelter. Therefore, we have left 100,000 cans of Spa inside the air-raid shelter. There are cans of rum for later,” Kristina explained.
Tang Yu nodded and continued to move forward, and soon he saw the target of this trip in the deepest part of the air-raid shelter. Sure enough, in the deepest part of the air-raid shelter, a part of the wall collapsed, and a broken iron door fell on the ground. From beneath the collapsed rubble, a skeleton arm stretched out.
"This is this place. We judge that there is still a space behind it. Judging from the situation at the scene, after the Battle of Normandy, this place was bombed by the German army and collapsed. In addition, the scale of this battle is too large, so the collapsed place The dugout was forgotten," Kristina said.
Tang Yu nodded and raised his hand. A large number of parts flew out of the subspace and spliced together on his arm to form a two to three meter long mechanical arm. When he grabbed it, he dug out a large piece of rubble. The buried skeleton was also dug out, and the rotting military uniform on his body could be discerned vaguely, which was the British military uniform during World War II.
Christina walked over and took off the skeleton's armband, which had the words 'British Seventh Armored Division, RAOC' written in English. The blue light in Christina's eyes flashed and said: "RAOC, the Royal Army Quartermaster Corps, is one of the few British Army units named after the royal title."
Wow~~Wow~~~ Tang Yu manipulated the mechanical arm to dig continuously, and the passage blocked by the rubble was gradually dug out. He dug a distance of more than ten meters inside. During this process, Tang Yu also dug up the bones of three other British soldiers. Judging from the orientation of these bones, they were fleeing outwards. The passage collapsed and was thus buried.
"Just ahead, there are still about three meters of rubble." Kristina's eyes flickered blue, and she kept scanning the ruins.
"Okay! Let's go all out!" Tang Yu licked his lips, and some parts flew out of the subspace to replace the damaged parts. The mechanical arm in his hand was also pointed and long. He chiseled through the pile of rubble!
Phew~~~~! Boom! ! Suddenly there was a strong suction force from inside the tunnel, and countless dust rolled back into the deep space inside!
"Is this... a vacuum environment?" Tang Yu was stunned.
Christina didn't hesitate, she just walked in with an industrial searchlight in one hand, dragged a long cable, and said, "This is also the main reason I came here, this passage makes it easier for you to dig .”
Tang Yu was almost overwhelmed, "You just asked me to be a free excavator?"
Christina turned her head 180 degrees, looked at Tang Yu and said seriously: "No, this is just an optimal choice."
"Well, it seems that you understand the true meaning of our 'Lan Xiang team'..." Tang Yu muttered.
"I think seeing the things inside, you should feel that your trip is worthwhile." Christina said standing in the space.
"What's inside?" Tang Yu also walked over, and when he saw the real object under the searchlight, he gasped, "This is...why are there these things!!!"
Under the light of the searchlight, more than a dozen huge figures lay quietly in this space,
It's really... a tank! ! There are at least a dozen tanks here! ! ! Moreover, the rust on these tanks is very little, and it seems that they can still be used! ! !
&nb-4 Sherman... No... No, this somewhat square armor... is a firefly! British Firefly tanks during World War II! ! And this... Churchill Infantry Tank! ! Why...why is something that was a hundred years ago still so brand new? ? " Tang Yu exclaimed suddenly.
Christina's eyes flickered, and she gave an order, only to see more than a dozen G-1 engineering robots walking in with industrial searchlights, illuminating the space.
Under the good light, Tang Yu could see the whole picture of the space clearly. There should be an underground tank garage, half of which has collapsed, and several tanks are buried under the rubble. Among the tanks parked here, as far as I can see, there are five Firefly tanks and eleven Churchill infantry tanks!
Some parts of these tanks have been disassembled, and it seems that they are all repaired in this place. Unexpectedly, a disaster fell from the sky. Near the collapsed part, there was a Firefly tank that was blackened, and there were several charred bodies near the tank.
Christina picked up a piece of shrapnel, scanned it carefully for a while and said: "According to the information in the database, this is an aerial bomb commonly used by German fighter jets in World War II, SC250-ZAR shrapnel. Then the situation is very obvious. During the Battle of Normandy, this place It is where the Quartermaster Corps of the British 7th Armored Division parked and repaired broken down tanks.”
"After the battle started, a German fighter plane desperately flew over Southampton and dropped the bomb, which collapsed the exit of the tank garage and blocked the exit of the air-raid shelter next to it. The violent explosion ignited The gasoline engine of this firefly tank was destroyed, and the flames quickly consumed all the air in this closed space, forming a vacuum environment very accidentally, so that these tanks were still relatively well preserved for as long as a hundred years. As Christina said, she came to a tank and reached out to touch it.
Tang Yu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, the point is not why these tanks can be kept for so long, the point is that the time we have armored forces may be at least three months earlier! Hahahaha!!!"
He couldn't help laughing out loud as he spoke.
"You want to drive these World War II tanks to fight the Terminator??" Christina asked, tilting her head.
"Why not? Don't forget who I am! Me, the mechanic! Replace these tanks with an engine, and then replace them with an ion cannon, and they can immediately form combat effectiveness! As for those damaged parts, or some World War II The problems caused by the limitations of design and technology during the period can be adjusted and replaced slowly! That is to say, these tanks can be on the road in half a month at the latest!! Hahahaha!!" Tang Yu said excitedly, holding Chris in his arms Tina kissed her cheek hard.
"This kiss, are you giving it to me or to these tanks?" Christina asked strangely, tilting her head.
Tang Yu laughed and replied: "Hahaha! Of course it's a kiss for you, my dear!! Such a happy thing naturally has to share the joy with your favorite, isn't it?"
