Chapter 275 Can this train tank soldiers?
The rain was foggy, and a convoy was driving on the road leading to Tamengye.w?ww.`
The mountainous areas in the deep base area, except for the outer ring line, which is a valley, and there are mostly flat lands, the middle part is basically high mountains and deep ravines, which is not suitable for living.
Tameng is about 30 kilometers southwest of the southwest, and is located slightly lower than the left half of the base area. It just penetrates deep into the mountains. It is either an extension of the mountain range or a mountain bunch. The terrain is broken and there is almost no large flat land.
The only way it connects to the outside world is the road from Guijia to Tamenge. This road was built manually after the base area won the anti-encirclement and suppression. Before that, there was only a dirt road that was stepped on by a pack horse.
In this time of previous years, this road had long become muddy and could not walk due to heavy rain.
Now there is a newly built cement road, even in the rainy season when the rainy season is abundant, it cannot block the traffic of personnel and materials. As the convoy goes along, they see many vehicles coming and going.
However, these are all dark green military vehicles.
Today, a few mountain villages in Tamengye have been relocated as a whole. With Tamengye Town as the center, within a radius of more than 20 kilometers, there are continuous barracks, playgrounds, shooting ranges, field training grounds, and mountain training grounds. The pedestrians coming and going are all soldiers wearing camouflage styles.
Between the valleys, clusters of air defense positions covering the protective net can be seen from time to time. Below the air defense net are clusters of anti-aircraft gun barrels pointing to the sky.
The boundary of nearly 400 square kilometers is like a huge military camp.
The convoy was stopped at a checkpoint. Several soldiers wearing military rubber raincoats came forward and carefully checked their military licenses and passes before raising the railings and putting the convoy through.
They have received several inspections like this along the way.
This is also a necessary means to completely isolate Tameng from the outside world, eliminate agent infiltration, and create a pure internal environment.
Unless the other party also has the ability to survive in the wild, such as Fei, and can lurk all the way through the vast mountains, it will be difficult to find out the detailed situation of this closed base.
Watching the convoy disappear into the rain and fog, several soldiers from the checkpoint looked at each other and saw an excited light from each other's eyes.
"Did you see it?"
"Of course I saw it! Although the cargo loaded on the flatbed is covered with rainproof canvas, the outline cannot be covered.???`c?o?m I can't see that the one installed underneath is a tank, that is the blindness of my eyes!"
"Why are the technicians wearing white coats in front of them? "
"Who knows? Maybe it's the maintenance guy?"
"You're guessing. There are no maintenance personnel wearing white coats. There are no shows in the movies, and those wearing white coats are either doctors or scientists. Besides, I just saw those heavy flatbed vehicles, but the tires were not very flat, which means that the things on the car are not heavy, so it is definitely not a tank."
"What did you say?"
"Can it be an armored vehicle? When I was in service in the country, I saw armored vehicles with turrets..."
Several soldiers returned to the checkpoint, took off their raincoats, and discussed what was loaded on the convoy just now. On this rainy day, it was far from the barracks, and only a few of them were guarding a checkpoint. If they didn't have some fun, this day would be too difficult.
Discussions like this have also been created in the previous few checkpoints.
The people in the convoy knew nothing about this and were still driving the vehicle toward the east and heading towards their destination.
The road is built at the foot of a mountain range that runs northeast and southwest. The mountain range on the left is very long, but not too high. The absolute height from the ridge to the road is only about 300 meters, and the right is relatively flat and the terrain is very open.
This flat refers to the absolute height difference, but it is covered with hills and mountain buns of all sizes.
The small hills are only ten meters high, and the hills are only tens or hundreds of meters high, but there are a lot of them, densely covered the entire land. This makes it impossible to find many flat land in the entire area, so it cannot be cultivated. There are only a few abandoned terraces left after the villages are relocated, and some small hills can also be seen sparse sorghum poles.
This shallow hill is the driving range used by the troops for field combat training.
The rainy season troops have correspondingly reduced outdoor training subjects. Along the way, they only saw a leveling-scale unit wearing rubber raincoats, appearing among the hills and fighting in the rain. Sometimes, you can hear the sound of gunfire from empty bags, which looks a little boring under the cover of rain and fog.
When the convoy arrived about two kilometers away from Tamengye Town, the camps on both sides of the highway became dense, and the groups were gathered in units of battalions and companies.?.??`c?o?m
The town has crisscrossed streets and complex roads. The signs on the road are all the names of the brigades and battalions. From the headquarters to the brigades and battalions, they are scattered on this land of more than ten square kilometers. Even the map signs are all marked as "Base Headquarters Logistics Department", which is like turning the entire Tameng page into a pure military town.
A sound of horns came from the barracks on both sides. It was obvious that although they were unable to conduct outdoor subject training because it was raining, they were still insisting on indoor training.
Some troops also take advantage of this time to carry out political and ideological education.
Whether it is indoor training or political and ideological education, these commanders and soldiers are not idle because of the rain, so that they will not do anything. Although soldiers are sacred, the ones who form the military are individuals after all. The young men eat well, train well, are full of energy, and are in adolescence. If there is no ideological education and strict supervision, it is inevitable that someone will run out to steal and fight.
In order to allow them to consume excessive energy and meet their spiritual needs, many activity venues have been set up in the camp: gym, indoor and outdoor basketball court, football field, tennis court, karaoke, roller skating rink, library, shopping mall, game room, cinema, teahouse, cafe and other sports and cultural entertainment facilities.
The staff working in these living facilities are all the families of professional soldiers in the army. This is to solve the family's requirements for accompanying the army, and at the same time solve their employment problems. They are one of the few ordinary people in this large military camp.
The soldiers and the masses along the way also showed surprise and excitement when they saw this convoy. However, with discipline, no one was ruthlessly approaching and watching. They just pointed at the convoy far away and talked with their companions.
The convoy passed through the main street of Tamengye Town and arrived at the final destination between the two hills, the First Tank Brigade of the Northern War Zone of the People's Army, one kilometer away from the town.
The Tank Brigade's barracks are located on the south slope of two small towns facing away from one hill.
"God, I'm waiting for you! We claim to be a tank brigade, but after half a year of establishment, I haven't seen a tank. Instructors from China tell us the origin of tanks every day, exhibitions, and various tank combat documentaries, military teaching films, teaching us the structure, disassembly and maintenance of tanks. Finally, I waited for the equipment!"
After receiving a notice from the sentry, all the commanders at home such as the brigade commander, political commissar, deputy brigade commander, deputy political commissar, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, etc., including more than a dozen tank instructors who were supporting the country, also came out in the rain.
When he saw the cadre who got off the car from the beginning, he was wearing a white coat and military uniform outside. The brigade commander Chai Huacheng grabbed his hand and said excitedly.
"Brig Commander Chai, sorry, the tank is still improving. It will probably take about two months to finally complete the improvement work. What we sent this time is a tank simulation trainer, not a real tank." The technician who was holding his hands tightly said awkwardly.
"Isn't it a real tank?"
When he heard this, Brigade Commander Chai's face suddenly became ugly, and the other cadres also looked disappointed, feeling that they were so happy.
I heard that it was not a real tank. The domestic instructors with a look of surprise relaxed their faces and said with a smile: "I just said that the improvement of tanks is not that simple. It is unimaginable to be completed within this year. When Brigade Commander Chai told me that the tank had been delivered, I was surprised and said how could this be possible. What's going on with this tank simulation trainer? I made several models to train how to drive? This is not bad. With this model, we don't have to talk about it alone."
Several domestic instructors walked forward in a drizzle, uncovered a corner of the canvas, looked at it, and immediately shouted: "Good guy, this model is really done! Look at this track, this is a real track! There are also the driving wheel and the load-bearing wheel, all of which are real!"
"What?" The instructor named Hurry hurried over and looked in along the unveiled corner. He even reached out to knock on the steel structure and banged it. He was also surprised to hear the crisp sound of metal: "Really! This model is very similar, and the sound of knocking sounds is exactly the same as it is."
"Of course it seems to be true, because this is taken off from a real tank!" The technician who led the team smiled.
"Dropped from a real tank? What's going on?" Brigade Commander Chai and domestic instructors were all surprised and asked immediately.
"Aren't we doing the modification work? According to the modification plan, the tracks should be replaced with higher strength and more wear-resistant materials, so the old tracks were replaced. Thinking about the principle of waste utilization, they were installed on this simulator, such as the driving wheel and the load-bearing wheel. This is also a goal to be realistic, so that you can feel like driving a real tank when using them." The technician explained with a smile.
Brigade Commander Chai and others suddenly realized that they had been blocking the rain with their hands when they were talking. They reacted from the initial ecstasy and quickly said, "Comrade, let's go in and talk."
The technician did not accept his kindness and shook his head and said, "Let's do the job first. Brigade Commander Chai, I called before, please prepare the training room you built?"
"Is that a training room? I thought it was a repair workshop..., ready, ready. I will take you there now." Brigade Commander Chai said in surprise. Although he was a little confused, he still enthusiastically led the way and led a few technicians to the slope.
A group of people climbed up the top of the hill and their eyes lit up, facing the shallow hills of the mountains with flat horses.
This is actually a mountain depression surrounded by several mountains, with two or three hills with gentle slopes. Generally speaking, the terrain is high around the perimeter, low in the middle, and flat without hills. The most important thing is that the area is wider and has several square kilometers, which is suitable as a tank training site.
This place was originally a farmland, but now it has been completely flattened and compacted, and has been changed to a tank training ground.
At the bottom of the gentle slope, a ceiling was built with four columns supported by them. The ceiling was large, with a foot of about 400 square meters, supported by the columns, nearly ten meters away from the ground, but there were no walls around them, and they could not block the rain at all. The rain drifted in and wet the surrounding area.
On the ground below the ceiling, two rows of deep pits were built with cement longitudinally.
Each row is lined with fourteen cement pits laid with cement in longitudinal direction, with a total of twenty-eight in front and back rows.
The total length of the cement pit is about twenty meters, with two or three meters downward slopes at both ends. The deepest part is visually more than seven meters high, which looks very similar to the tunnel for repairing cars. No wonder Brigade Commander Chai thought it was a repair workshop.
A few dozen meters away from this huge shed, there is another two-story building at the foot of another hill. A transformer group can be seen behind the building.
After seeing this, the technicians nodded repeatedly: "It's not bad, that's it? Is the power here turned on? Are the fiber optic lines laid?"
"It's open! The fiber optic lines specially built by the Engineer Battalion came to pave, and the power supply was also set up according to your requirements. They were connected to two different power supply lines. The distribution box was placed in a small building, and a heavy oil electric unit was also prepared, which could satisfy the power supply of 2,000 watts in a short time." Brigade Commander Chai and others still don't understand what they plan to do, but they still tried their best to explain.
"Okay! Great! It's convenient now!" Several technicians were ready to rub their hands, turned around and waved down the slope, signaling the convoy to go around and stop to the north slope.
"Then, comrade, what are you going to do? What does this simulation trainer do?" Brigade Commander Chai couldn't help but ask.
He didn't suspect that these people were sabotaging the destruction, but the order was issued directly by the headquarters. He also called to confirm the other party's ID and letter of introduction. It was indeed the Military Command Research Institute, and the signing officer or the commander himself was not fake.
But he really couldn't understand what they were trying to do here.
Chapter completed!
