Armored reconnaissance company, what is an armored reconnaissance company without armored vehicles?
Steel Seventh Company is equipped with two types of armored vehicles, the Type 85 armored personnel carrier and the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle.
The third squad is equipped with Type 85 armored transport vehicles.
Today, Jiang Bei and Bai Tiejun finally got on the class tank and headed to the shooting range for training.
Under Shi Jin's introduction, Jiangbei was already familiar with this armored vehicle.
This armored transport vehicle is a tracked combat vehicle and is improved and developed from the YW531C armored vehicle.
Compared with the Type 63, the main improvements include improving the 4 single road wheels on each side to 5 double road wheels, adding an external diesel tank, adding a projectile smoke grenade launcher, and modifying the radio station.
The Type 85 armored vehicle has very good performance, can be used during the day and at night, and can be used on both land and water.
The car, including the driver, commander, etc., can accommodate about 11 people, which is exactly the size of an ordinary class.
The standard weapon of the Type 85 armored vehicle is the Type 54 12.7mm machine gun, which is installed above the crew compartment and fires through the annular opening. Needless to say, the machine gunner of this vehicle in the third squad is Wu Liuyi.
He is the only person in the third squad who does his job. A humanoid robot with such strong physical ability should be a machine gunner and be responsible for suppressing fire.
This is the case in an ordinary company. Two types of people represent the strongest combat power, machine gunners and snipers.
There is a large rear door at the back of this tank, which is usually used for soldiers to enter and exit. In case of emergency, they can also evacuate through the top hatch.
All roof door hatches have triple-proof seals and there are signs that a pressurization system is installed on the vehicle. There are seven shooting holes in the vehicle, three on each side and one on the rear door.
These shooting ports were obviously reserved for the people in Jiangbei, because they were not drivers, commanders, or machine gunners.
Each shooting hole is equipped with a sight glass and a protected ball seat, which is specially used to place firearms. According to Shi Jin, in the future, it may also be equipped with a precision shooter who holds a sniper rifle.
The driver is sitting on the left side of the engine. His name is Wang Chong, a second-level non-commissioned officer, with dark skin and a little chubby.
Under normal circumstances, he does not need to get out of the vehicle. He only needs to maintain the status of the tank at all times, pick up his comrades in time, and coordinate tank operations.
The commander of the vehicle is not Shi Jin, but Liu Yu, who is also a second-level non-commissioned officer.
When Jiangbei understood the organizational structure of the armored transport vehicle, he asked out his doubts.
"Squad leader, why don't you be the commander?"
When Bai Tiejun heard this, he nodded and said, "Squad leader, I'm also very curious. Why don't you satisfy us?"
Before Wu Liuyi could wait for Shi Jin to speak, he said first, "You think it's so easy to be a commander? Not everyone can be a commander."
Shi Jin pulled Wu Liuyi to stop him from continuing to speak, and said with a smile
"Jiangbei, the requirements of the train commander are very high, and they need to have a good cultural background. Wu Liuyi and I are just junior high school graduates and cannot meet the requirements."
When Shi Jin said this, he glanced at Wang Chong and Liu Yu, and continued: "The commander, not only must be able to drive a chariot, but also be a communicator. We can't pass the communication certificate alone. In addition to these, there are also
There are many projects that need to be studied, and Liu Ning just graduated from high school and has the foundation to pass the communication certificate."
Shi Jin suddenly remembered something and said to Jiangbei: "By the way, just because we can't do it, it doesn't mean you can't do it. Jiangbei, you are a college student yourself, majoring in communications. This is tailor-made for you. You can try it."
Try it”
"As for Lao Bai, you seem to have graduated from high school. Why don't you also learn it? With this skill, it will be easier to be promoted to sergeant in the future."
Bai Tiejun shook his head quickly: "Forget it, my class leader, I got my high school diploma from someone else. From what you say, it's probably very difficult. I'll forget it and go to Jiangbei to study."
Wu Liuyi glared at him and yelled: "Why don't you learn anything? You are lazy in physical training. Now you are using your brain. If you don't want to learn, do you want me to help you tighten your skin?"
Bai Tiejun was so frightened that he shrank and hid behind Shi Qi: "Squad leader, look at the squad deputy, he is bullying others."
Wu Liuyi was so angry that he wanted to grab him over, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Shi Jin stopped him.
"Wu Liuyi, he's on the chariot."
Wu Liuyi then put away his hands and sat down.
"How about it, Jiangbei, are you interested in becoming a driver?"
Shi Jin continued to ask.
"Squad leader, I definitely want to learn. I can drive a chariot. How cool it is. This chariot is much more expensive than a Rolls-Royce. In the future, I will also be a person who has driven a million-dollar car, hahahaha."
Jiangbei agreed without hesitation that he should learn knowledge about tanks, both in terms of personal growth and the future development of the army.
Others don't know it, but he knows that the future army will be an information-based army, and communication technology must be mastered.
He also needs to study deeply to understand the extent of the military's communication technology. Only then will he be able to use his future knowledge to explore an information-based army for the military.
Seeing Jiangbei agree, Shi Jin said nothing.
Not long after, the tank arrived at the shooting range.
The so-called shooting range is a wide armored vehicle shooting range with staggered wheel tracks and gray mountains at the end.
Rows of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks were galloping in the open space to warm up. The shooting range had already been covered with nearly feet of loose soil, and the entire sky was filled with heavy dust and fog.
Jiang Bei looked through the observation mirror and was immediately shocked by the scene.
There was only one sentence in his mind: The torrent of steel was unstoppable and would crush all invading enemies.
Today's subject is infantry-tank collaborative training. It is already a very familiar subject to the veterans of the third squad, but for these recruits in Jiangbei, it is the first time.
Infantry-tank coordination, to put it bluntly, means infantry and tanks fight together.
However, with the development of military technology, the early days of infantry chasing tanks have turned into tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored transport vehicles carrying infantry in coordinated operations.
Although it is simple, it is not easy to train. It requires coordinated command, communication, attack methods, and tank movements. This is a systematic project.
This is why the army increasingly needs highly educated commanders and soldiers.
Although the two Jiangbei men had basically understood the knowledge about tanks and had practiced for a period of time, using the shooting holes to hold guns and shooting at moving targets, when the tanks actually started to move and started shooting, some mistakes still appeared.
The tanks of the third squadron began to enter the target area, and Wu Liuyi took the lead in taking on the role of machine gunner, suppressing the target with firepower.
Then Shi Jin, Gan Xiaoning, and Jiang Bei opened the shooting holes, stood up, and shot at the moving target in the distance.
Jiangbei was so shaken by the moving chariot that he had no time to aim at the target. He could only rely on his feeling to raise his gun and shoot at the target.
Sure enough, Jiang Bei saw the flying dust behind the target and missed a single shot.
After finishing the shot, Jiang Bei quickly sat back in the cabin with a depressed look on his face.
He thought that it would be difficult to move and shoot from a tank because the tank was shaking irregularly.
But I never thought that out of five bullets, one shot missed.
"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking that you didn't hit even a single shot while moving?"
Seeing Jiang Bei sitting in the car without saying a word, Shi Jin said with a smile.
"Don't think too much about it. It's the first time you get on a tank and shoot on the move. It's on such an uneven dirt road. It's normal for you to miss."
"You have to understand the speed of the chariot and set the lead, both in height and width. Otherwise, with this shaking vehicle, you will either shoot too high or miss the target."
"The gun must be held steadily and the posture must be correct to avoid shaking, causing the body and gun to move due to the shaking of the vehicle body."
Jiang Bei nodded. He thought about it. Indeed, when he just shot, not only the car was moving, but he and the gun were shaking. The key is that everyone moves in their own way and are not in the same line at all. Only in this situation can he hit the target.
It's a strange thing.
Only by finding a good posture, standing firm, holding the gun firmly, and moving the vehicle body and the gun as well as the body of the vehicle, can you hit the target.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei prepared again. There were still five bullets left, and he had to shoot them.
The chariot made a circle and returned to the shooting range again. Jiang Bei quickly stood out of the shooting hole, held the steel gun tightly, leaned close to the vehicle body, and fired one shot at a time to find the feeling.
Finally, the third shot was fired and hit the target. Jiang Bei was overjoyed, held his breath steady, and fired the remaining two bullets.
