Chapter 178 Super Class Weapon No. 2(2/2)
Li Yunlong nodded proudly:
"As long as the caliber is within 20 mm, it is a gun, and all ammunition can be reimbursed."
call···
After a brief silence, all the big guys exhaled a breath to relieve the surprise and shock in their hearts.
From less than five bullets per person to now more than five thousand bullets per person, things developed so fast that even they found it difficult to calm down.
There are a few exceptions here.
The representatives were the brigade commander and the division commander. Their eyes were rolling, wondering how they could borrow Boss Mo's generosity to give the troops a large-scale facelift.
The Independent Regiment is a basic regiment, responsible for garrisoning Yangcun and the surrounding areas of Yangpo. After the withdrawal of the Hattori Brigade, the Independent Regiment spread its control area to Yangpo and included two surrounding small counties.
Everyone continued to read the next information manual.
After killing 10,000 Japanese soldiers, one of Li Yunlong's friends supported him and gave him the third good thing.
"Military Ultralight Jeep."
"Sixty-five horsepower gasoline engine, five-speed manual/automatic transmission, enlarged wide off-road tires, maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour, dead weight of 550 kilograms, standard load of 350 kilograms, and can load 12.7 mm weight
machine gun."
The car picture in the brochure is clearly the famous Willys Jeep.
Of course, the engine and transmission have been upgraded.
The engine increases torque and horsepower, and increases reliability. There is nothing to say about this.
The focus is on the gearbox. Considering that the army lacks drivers, it is changed to an automatic gearbox to reduce the difficulty of learning.
In order to adapt to the dirt roads in the base area, the tires were changed to large-pattern and wide-width off-road tires, which have stronger off-road capabilities, but the maximum speed is reduced to 70 kilometers per hour.
"Good stuff!"
Everyone's eyes shone again.
With the development of highway construction in the base area, and with strong material and economic support, the highway construction speed is very fast. By the time this winter is over, a complete road network will be formed connecting the surrounding areas of Shanxi and the border areas.
Now, this jeep has come at the right time.
Sixty-five horsepower··
This new jeep can be used to tow a four-wheeled cart on a flat road. It can carry two tons without any problem. It can also travel more than 200 kilometers a day, which is much more convenient than a horse-drawn carriage.
The biggest transportation problem plaguing the base area has been solved.
With the jeep, the troops' marching speed has been greatly increased, and their ability to carry baggage has also been greatly improved. Equipped with new machine guns, they can also perform air defense, and they are no longer afraid of Japanese planes.
"This Jeep."
Someone asked:
"How do you calculate it?"
“Are our drivers enough?”
"What should I do if fuel, oil, and spare parts are consumed?"
A series of questions once again attracted everyone's attention.
The food aid from Li Yunlong's friends is no problem, just use that incredible warehouse to transport it.
Very convenient.
However, this year there will be millions of acres of army farms in the base area, millions of tons of grain produced, massive commodities coming out of the factories in the base area, and commodities produced by the people themselves, all need to be transported.
The demand for transportation is high.
Simply relying on horse-drawn carts, even Pelton horses, is not enough.
Neither the carrying capacity nor the transport speed is enough.
Must use car.
And there are a lot of cars.
New jeeps can be equipped with new large-caliber heavy machine guns, and can also be used with new 82 mortars and 60 mortars to improve mobility and are in great demand for troops.
If they are all rolled out, it is estimated that there will be at least 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles.
Although cars are easy to use, they are also very troublesome to use.
Need driver,
Talents who can repair and maintain cars are needed.
A few hundred or a thousand vehicles would be fine, but the army currently doesn't have the capability to provide tens of thousands of vehicles, and there aren't even enough drivers.
Not to mention, cars also need to consume fuel and oil, as well as wearing parts.
As the crystallization of contemporary industry, automobiles are good things that can greatly facilitate transportation and promote economic development, but they also require certain industrial capabilities to maintain their use.
