Xu Chengfeng and Zheng Silang took advantage of the wine to climb the newly built radio tower and looked at Siping at a height of more than ten meters. The night in Siping has denser lights, as if a star is landing on the earth.

You can also see the splashing light at some chimney entrances in the industrial area. Needless to say, it must be steel plants and power plants.

Xu Chengfeng asked his old classmate, "Silang, do you actually don't want to go back to the army?"

Zheng Silang didn't know how to answer, because the matter was completely different from what Xu Chengfeng thought. After thinking for a while, Zheng Silang could only answer: "I want to stay for a while, and there is a lot of knowledge that has not been completed yet."

Xu Chengfeng also felt that Zheng Silang must be working hard to do more work, and he couldn't help but be curious, "Can you talk?"

Zheng Silang did not talk about equipment, but talked about military research. "I am studying the organization of motorized troops and using motorized troops to replace cavalry to implement rapid maneuvers."

Xu Chengfeng immediately asked: "What does this motorcycle mean in the so-called motorized army?"

Zheng Silang was also very interested when he saw Xu Chengfeng, and immediately began to talk excitedly, "Motorization refers to vehicles that travel on wheels. The other is armored troops, which travel on crawlers. Tanks that appeared in various countries in the European war were armored troops."

Xu Chengfeng was surprised and expectant when listening to the new content, and was quite happy. Some people in the upper class of the army said that Zheng Silang made his own decision to change the battle arrangements, and was criticized by Chairman He Rui and then sent to be a military representative. Zheng Silang was disgusted, unable to stand such a blow.

Xu Chengfeng did not believe what Xu Chengfeng thought of Zheng Silang. At this time, Xu Chengfeng was completely relieved when he heard what Zheng Silang said. Zheng Silang was not depressed, he wanted to accumulate strength.

After listening for a while, Xu Chengfeng felt something was wrong. After Zheng Silang finished speaking, Xu Chengfeng asked, "Silang, the vehicle is so heavy, it is not as light as a horse."

Zheng Silang smiled and said, "I have also asked the Chairman this question. The Chairman asked me to do a question: Is it because the war horses carrying cavalry are strongly pressured on the ground, or the pressure caused by trucks or tanks on the ground? As a result, I will tell you directly that the average pressure of tanks is the lowest, followed by trucks and horse hooves."

Xu Chengfeng's basic physics knowledge is fine, but he hasn't considered it like this. He simply asked about the pressure formula and stretched out his fingers to the night sky with the help of alcohol. Xu Chengfeng found that the result was really like this.

Zheng Silang had even practiced it many times, and even spit out some alcoholic smell and sighed: "So tanks can easily pass through poor ground. Horses may not be able to do it. They are more delicate than cars."

Xu Chengfeng thought about it but still didn't accept it, "I always feel something is wrong!"

Zheng Silang had already figured out these questions. Hearing Xu Chengfeng felt the same as he did at the beginning, he smiled and said, "A truck pulled the full set of equipment for a squad of personnel. But 10 people, seven rifles, and a light machine gun. It is also possible to carry a 60 mortar. Even if an infantry squad does not have a spare horse, it will have to 12-15 horses. When considering it, you cannot use a horse to equate a truck."

Comparing a car with 15 horses, Xu Chengfeng immediately realized his thoughts and said with a smile: "This is better! After hearing what you said, I immediately felt that... Motorized infantry is indeed better than cavalry! It saves too much trouble!"

Zheng Silang was also very happy when his work was recognized, "That's right. If our army could be motorized, although the cavalry could still bear limited roles, they would no longer be the main force of assault operations."

After saying this, Zheng Silang felt that his research still had too many shortcomings, so he turned the topic back to others, "How is Ruofan doing recently? With his temperament, I haven't heard him jump out to speak for so long, and I'm worried if something happened to him."

Xu Chengfeng couldn't help laughing when he thought of Cheng Ruofan's current appearance, "Ruofan! Haha. He is now focusing all his energy on how to avoid building field fortifications based on the Japanese's news. I really didn't expect Ruofan to be able to do something so concentrating one day."

"Haha!" Zheng Silang was also amused. When he thought of Cheng Ruofan's concentration, Zheng Silang remembered Cheng Ruofan before the school exam. Cheng Ruofan was not smart, and his memory was not even a problem. Cheng Ruofan could even remember the subjects he liked. The problem was that he was too easy to attract attention from other things.

Xu Chengfeng laughed for a while, and his thoughts immediately returned to the war. "Silang, the Military Commission has formulated a war plan, but has not reported it to the chairman. Your motorcycle infantry has a very interesting idea. The Japanese control the South Manchuria Railway. Once the war starts, we may not be able to seize the South Manchuria Railway immediately and run smoothly. It is a good idea to transport a large number of troops with trucks. Even if the railway cannot be used immediately, we will start building roads in the countryside and use these roads for transportation."

Zheng Silang nodded repeatedly, "I have considered it too. This requires more detailed logistics work, including the design of various military stations. Chengfeng, do you think that the land reform that the Chairman had done from the beginning and the construction of grassroots governments met such requirements. We can do these tasks now, without any resistance. I often think about it when I think about it, and the Chairman had designed this war since he returned to China."

Xu Chengfeng nodded repeatedly, "I also feel this way. The Chairman said that we must rely on war to create a strategic opportunity period for China. This is not what the Chairman thinks now, and the Chairman has been working hard to implement it!"

Hearing that his thoughts were not owned by himself, Zheng Silang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'm relieved. Since we have been preparing for this war since a few years ago, just prepare for the war step by step."

Although the "old classmates" gathered happily, they were still their jobs. And the two of them became happier and happier until late at night, the lights of the residents in Siping City went out, and the whole city fell into a quiet and peaceful sleep, and then they got off the radio tower.

Cheng Ruofan was not asleep at this time. He was leading the engineering team to construct the construction at night. Cheng Ruofan himself walked quietly in the night and listened to see how loud the sound the project was.

No one saw Cheng Ruofan frowning in the night. No matter how careful he was, he was very motivated. It is basically impossible to hide it from the Japanese by relying on such a quiet construction.

Cheng Ruofan was tired and slept for a while. As soon as it was dawn, he rushed to the construction site to see the results. The quiet construction efficiency in the night was very low, less than half of the daytime work.

This is Cheng Ruofan's fourth late-night construction inspection. Looking at the amount of earthwork that had not been dug overnight, Cheng Ruofan denied this feasibility. Permanent fortifications must be built with great fanfare, and hidden construction is not feasible.

Since taking charge of the construction of permanent field fortifications, Cheng Ruofan and the staff participating in this project have made various settings and tried them one by one. All possibilities have been tried and denied. Then there is only one feasibility left, which is to mix the permanent field fortifications with civil infrastructure to execute.

If such measures are adopted, what needs to be considered is how to keep confidential in such a situation.
