Chapter 5 The war starts, and the military division becomes an army (2)
Five hundred thousand and two tanks, and now a brand-new Ford car only costs three thousand yuan. Zhang Zizhong looked at Ouyang Yun and his eyes suddenly turned contemptuous. He pointed at Ouyang Yun and said to Hu and Xiang: " Look, for a standard profiteer, what is the difference between this and robbery?"
Hu and Xiang both laughed. Hu Hanmin asked Ouyang Yun: "I have only heard of amphibious tanks, but this is the first time I have heard of this amphibious tank. Does it have any special functions? "
Ouyang Yun solemnly looked outside the headquarters and saw that no one was approaching. He said sternly to the three of them: "Brother Zhang, Mr. Hu, Mr. Xiang, there are no outsiders here. I will tell you the truth. As the name implies, this land and air force Tanks can not only provide fire support for ground troops like ordinary tanks, but can also provide air defense."
"A tank that can defend against air defense." Hu Hanmin's eyes widened and he couldn't help adjusting his glasses with his right hand.
Xiang Hanping asked thoughtfully: "Did you install anti-aircraft machine guns on the tanks?"
Zhang Zizhong glanced at him and said: "How can this be considered an anti-aircraft tank? Germany and other European and American countries have already equipped tanks with anti-aircraft machine guns. The anti-aircraft weapons installed on the tanks by the Cadet Division are anti-aircraft guns, and there are two of them." After saying that, he looked at Ouyang Yun with bright eyes and said: "I have been dealing with Ouyang for more than a day or two, but I still can't figure out what his head is made of and why he has so many weird ideas. Woolen cloth."
Xiang Hanping is indeed a veteran who has been in the army for many years and is well-informed. He immediately found the problem from Zhang Zizhong's words. He said: "Two anti-aircraft guns and a smoothbore cannon are installed on the tank. Oh my God, this tank should be equipped with How big is the size? If the size is too large, the target will be too big and the battlefield survivability will be low. Is this cost-effective?"
Surprised by Xiang Hanping's thoroughness in looking at the problem, Ouyang Yun said: "Mr. Xiang's analysis is good. If three guns are installed on a tank at the same time, the size and crew will definitely increase, and the load capacity will also have to increase. The maneuverability will also increase." Performance and survivability will naturally be affected. When Dr. Hou and I originally designed the sketch of this tank, we did not consider installing an anti-aircraft gun, but replaced it with an anti-aircraft machine gun. I have not seen a prototype of the tank yet, so I don’t know what it is like. However, I think that with Dr. Hou’s foresight and foresight, he will definitely give us a surprise.”
After not staying in Tianjin for too long, Ouyang Yun and his party returned to Renqiu. Zhang Zizhong accompanied him because he was curious about the performance of the "Jiguang type" land and air tanks.
When crossing the man-made thorny mound at the border between Tianjin and Wen'an, Xiang Hanping said in surprise: "This mound is very strange." Hu Hanmin looked at it carefully and said: "It's good for defense. It's so steep. The slope is steep and covered with thorns, making it difficult for the army to pass."
Zhang Zizhong burst into laughter and said, "Don't you two see that this is man-made?" He glanced at Ouyang Yun and said, "I think back then, our brother Ouyang spent a lot of money to build such a mound. But now it looks like a scenery." After the Wen'an War, the 38th Division and the Japanese were completely at odds, and with the constraints of the 38th Division, the Japanese army wanted to launch an offensive against the Xuebing Division from Tianjin. , then you have to think twice before taking action. From this point of view, this mound that took Ouyang Yun and Xubingshi so much effort now seems to have lost its original function.
When Hu and Xiang heard this, they suddenly realized. Hu Hanmin exclaimed: "This is just an earthen Great Wall. It's a shame Ouyang thought of it. It's high, it's really high."
Hu Hanmin's sigh was sincere, but it didn't sit well with Ouyang Yun, because it was the most unreasonable of his many decisions. As Zhang Zizhong said, the mound has now been lost. The role of its existence, and due to the influx of a large number of people in Renqiu, the army began to set up fields one after another. Now the fields are slightly tense, but this mound occupies several thousand acres of land. If it is used for farming , its grain output is enough to feed a regiment,
Entering the territory of Renqiu, a wide cement road appeared in front of them, which gave Hu and Xiang another great experience. Xiang Hanping sighed: "Oh my God, Ouyang, how long has it been since your military training division arrived in Renqiu?" , how is it possible to build such a good cement road all at once? How many cement plants have you built?"
Thanks to the support of Ouyang Yun and Jiang Shuren, the fastest growing factory or mine in Renqiu is now the cement factory. Cement has a wide range of uses. Building houses, building roads, and air defense fortifications are all inseparable from cement. Now in Renqiu, In addition to the cement factory jointly owned by the Xuebing Division and a Peking businessman, two new private cement factories have been opened. One of them is run by a Jew, and its scale is even larger than that of the Xuebing Division. However, even so, Ren Qiu is currently cement is still in short supply,
Zhang Zizhong had just walked through the Renqiu line not long ago. After all, he was a neighbor. He knew many things about the Xuebing Division. Therefore, he did not show any special emotions when he saw other relatively novel affairs in the military camp area. But it was different for Hu and Xiang. When they first saw the military area, Xiang Hanping looked at Ouyang Yun with his eyes wide open and asked, "Am I not dazzled? Why are those farmers wearing military uniforms?" ah."
"They are simply soldiers." Ouyang Yun said to them with a smile,
Hu and Xiang were puzzled at the time: If they were to do farm work without training as a soldier, wouldn't this be disrespectful of their job? Furthermore, if a fight broke out because they couldn't keep up with training, would that guarantee their combat effectiveness?
Ouyang Yun had to explain to them the system of the military garrison area in detail. Because of mechanical helpers such as tractors and the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, one person can now cultivate more than a hundred acres of land with the ability of the group. For example, in the level establishment, except when the whole regiment needs to be dispatched during harvesting, at other times it is enough to arrange for one company to work in farming. This will not only not affect the training, but also enable the soldiers to receive education through farming.
When the military camp plan was first implemented, Ouyang Yun did not take it into consideration due to the special nature of the Jewish Independence Brigade. However, when the Jewish soldiers of the Jewish Independence Brigade learned about this situation, they took the initiative to propose it. They want to enjoy the same treatment as Han soldiers. In this way, all the officers and soldiers of the training division have become farmers. Even special forces such as Da Dao and Lang Ya have planted their own vegetable plots and become training divisions. a great landscape,
When they saw the Chinese soldiers working in the fields, Hu and Xiang were already quite surprised. But when they saw dozens of foreigners with yellow hair and white skin wearing military uniforms of the military academy, they were pulling shit into the fields. At this time, there are no words to describe the weirdness of his expression.
The first person to wake up was Hu Hanmin. The old man asked Ouyang Yun in a somewhat stuttering tone: "Wai, wai, foreigner."
"To be precise, they should be Jewish Chinese."
"Jewish Chinese..." is another new term. Hu and Xiang blinked.
Therefore, Ouyang Yun had to explain to them again,
Seeing that he had even recruited Jews into the military training division, Hu and Xiang didn't know what to say. After a while, when they were approaching Renqiu New City, Hu Hanmin said leisurely: "Those who are not from my race are My heart must be different, Ouyang, what you are doing is inappropriate."
Ouyang Yun responded with a smile: "Before making this decision, I did have worries in this regard, but after reading through history books, I found that my worries were a bit unnecessary. Why, because the integration ability of our Han people is too strong. , Haha, let’s take the nearest Qing Dynasty as an example. When the Manchus first ruled China, they seemed to be regarded as barbarians. Now, it seems that they can’t tell who is the Manchu and who is the Han. Mr. Hu, believe me. , before the Jews are strong enough, they will have been swallowed up by our Han people, I have this confidence."
Hu Hanmin sighed leisurely and said: "I hope you are right."
After entering Renqiu City, Jiang Shuren, Li Tieshu and others, who had received Ouyang Yun's care in advance, held a grand welcome ceremony for Hu and Xiang.
Without exception, the prosperity and industrial development of Renqiu City once again left a deep impression on Hu and Xiang. Although they had not been to Renqiu before, they could still distinguish it from the traces of urban buildings. Beyond the boundary between the new city and the old city, they were all sincerely surprised and admired that Ouyang Yun had built a small city into a medium-sized city of this size in just half a year. In their opinion, although the scale of Renqiu City was smaller , it is incomparable to the current Guangzhou, but given time, it will definitely become another famous city in North China after Peking and Tianjin.
Both Hu and Xiang had seen big scenes. The grand welcome ceremony of the Military Academy did not make them lose their minds. They were drunkards who did not care about drinking. They refrained from drinking at the grand dinner and kept their heads. He woke up, and as soon as the dinner was over, Hu Hanmin couldn't wait to pull Ouyang Yun aside, regardless of the strange looks from the people around him, and asked to see Hou Debang, and take a look at the "Jiguang type" Lu who made Zhang Zizhong salivate. dual-purpose tank,
As usual, Hou Debang did not participate in today's activities, and his students would naturally not participate in such social activities. Therefore, Ouyang Yun, one of the designers, does not know what the "Jiguang type" is. What a look. Thinking that each other, Zhang and the other three were his loyal allies, with the same curiosity, he drove to the Xuebing R&D Institute with the three of them overnight, so as to have a glimpse of the "Jiguang type" Zun. Honor is fast,
