Chapter 750: Fog in Chongqing (Part 1)
Returning to his headquarters, Gao Fei glanced at the telegram sent by Chiang Kai-shek and asked his youth army to replace them. In fact, Gao Fei knew very well that he had defeated all the battles, regardless of bones or flesh. Eat it all, and how will other people behave in the future? In China, people are the first to do things. Although many things are not reversed, you must follow the local customs.
Gao Fei sorted out the actual problems that occurred in the M4A4 Sherman medium tank in combat. Gao Fei was afraid that the Americans would take too long to research, so he had to do it himself. The m4a3e8 model was successfully used as the Sherman M4 series tank. The last type of Sherman medium tank designed by the United States can be said to be a truly outstanding work. Although it is not as good as the Tiger, Panther, and T44, it has its own advantages and disadvantages, but it undoubtedly has a very high balance of capabilities. Compared with all previous models, the m4a3e8 has a comprehensive improvement in the balance of firepower, armor, and mobility. It can be compared with the Russian T342F85 and the German Type IV H tank.
The m4a3e8 uses the latest American hvss suspension system, which is a significant feature that distinguishes it from ordinary Sherman series tanks. The horizontal suspension system is a new suspension system developed by the Americans for heavy tanks, because the Tiger and King Tiger German heavy tanks of other models swept across the battlefields of Europe and North Africa, so the Allies also urgently needed a tank that could compete with them.
Therefore, the m4a3e8 improved the turret and replaced the artillery, so the increased weight overwhelmed the original vertical suspension system. However, the new horizontal suspension equipment can completely reduce the shaking of the m4a3e8, which has become heavier due to the increased armor and improved artillery, while traveling, and increase the weight of the m4a3e8. The wide tracks reduce the pressure on the ground. In addition to the difference in the suspension system, the M4A3E8 also strengthens the defense and the versatility of manufactured productive parts. The M4A3E8 also uses a wet ammunition magazine to reduce the risk of detonating the ammunition magazine.
The m4a3e8 is equipped with a 76.2 mm tank gun. In order to effectively weaken the powerful recoil of the new 76 mm m3 tank gun, a new muzzle brake must be installed. The 76.2 mm main gun of the m4a3e8 When using high-velocity armor-piercing projectiles, the 2mm 55-caliber artillery can penetrate 120mm of homogeneous ordinary vertical armor at 2,200 meters.

Moreover, Gao Fei integrated the front armor of the m4a3e8, which has high defense. However, Gao Fei also installed composite armor at the connection between the exterior and the turret for protection, which greatly improved the battlefield survivability of the m4a3e8. Although the total weight of the m4a3e8 is 34 tons, its cross-country marching speed can still reach 45 kilometers per hour, and compared with the Tiger and Panther tanks that need to be returned to the factory for overhaul after 1,000 kilometers, even if it is 1,800 The T342F85, which needs to be overhauled after 10 kilometers, pales in comparison. The M4A3E8 can continuously travel three thousand kilometers before undergoing overhaul. The tank parts have a very high commonality rate and a very low failure rate. It can be said that after increasing the power of artillery fire, the M4A3E8 is indeed a very good vehicle. It is a practical tank. It can also be said that the Americans had the foresight to reserve a lot of room for improvement and upgrade at the beginning of the design.
Naturally, this information provided by Gao Fei cannot be said to have been compiled by him, but was handed over directly through the tank repair department of his subordinates as suggestions for repairing and improving tanks. As a result, this information was a treasure for the Americans, and the Americans had no idea.
To think that there are still such talents in China passing through
Tank maintenance can put forward such a professionally suggested modification plan. You must know that the Americans have been studying how to improve the M4A4 Sherman medium tank and strengthen it to the level of the T342F85 so that it can directly compete with the German Panzer IV tank H type.
contend.
The Americans were busy demonstrating the drawings, and selected five young M4A4 medium-sized Sherman tanks for modification testing. Gao Fei returned to Chongqing, and Chiang Kai-shek was busy accompanying government dignitaries and the Allied Military Observer Group for inspections.
The old place of Wuhan, this light
The restoration of the country is of great significance. Chiang Kai-shek is naturally very clear about this. Although Gao Fei made him a little unhappy before, after all, Gao Fei is a so-called military commander, and his characteristic is to be outspoken. If a military commander also follows the trend, he may also lose the country.
An ominous sign.
Chiang Kai-shek personally arrived in Wuhan for inspection. He did not take Gao Fei with him this time, but was accompanied by He Yingqin, Chen Cheng and others. This shows that some of the people above seemed to smell something strange? In fact, Chen Cheng, who accompanied Chiang Kai-shek, knew very well that Gao Fei
This is to take charge of things for the old man.
Qingda went to the rear. Matters such as the allocation and receipt of US aid materials needed to be taken over by senior officials. This was a fat job, and it was also a sign of Chiang Kai-shek's extreme trust. Compared with accompanying the commission on inspections, which was an honor, that was

status, and Gao Fei was sullen and reaping the benefits, but it was also about the atmosphere. He had been the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force for a few days before, but the British and Americans did not like him. Later, Gao Fei became the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

The Chinese people also agreed that the supplies would be transferred to China for distribution, and the British stopped complaining. Even their supply base in Assam, India, was plundered. How could the British bow their heads and suffer the consequences of such a big incident?
Is it really unreasonable and unfathomable?
The role Gao Fei played was actually to give the commissioner the important task of visiting Chongqing. One of the tasks Chiang Kai-shek gave Gao Fei was to give a speech at Chongqing University, and to provide opening instructions for the Army University short-term training class, and to serve as the honorary school motto director and
Chief Tactical Instructor.
Gao Fei was not interested in going to Chongqing University to give a speech, because he had heard that teachers and students at Chongqing University were full of ideological ideas, so he asked Gao Fei, a young idol with no background and a young military background, to give a speech at Chongqing University.
The meaning is self-evident. I hope that this young general who is loyal to the leader and has been trained by the Three People's Principles will speak out from his own experience.
As for the short-term training class at the Army University, it is a gathering of young officers from the Huangpu Department. As a training ground for the future backbone of the youth army, it also allows Gao Fei to get familiar with his subordinates. Even if he joins the army in the future, these officers will all be in Gao Fei's name.
How can the friendship between teachers and students and comrades be ordinary for the students below?
This was the path Chiang Kai-shek planned for Gao Fei, including Chiang Ching-kuo's position as director of the Youth Army's Political Department, which was part of the entire plan. Gao Fei naturally knew that to take power in China, he must have an army, otherwise everything would be empty talk. Chiang Kai-shek was

He was born in a family, but Chiang came from a turbulent era, and the domestic situation was in turmoil, which is completely different from what is happening now. If after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the domestic demand for democracy increases day by day, he will be criticized if he hands over power to Chiang Ching-kuo.
