Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

Chapter 80 Armored Forces

The heavy crawler tractors donated by the Soviet Union soon arrived.

And on the third day after the tractor arrived, an unexpected order came.

Xu Yan personally ordered the abolition of the cavalry unit, and He Jishen and his cavalry division were demobilized as a whole to support local construction!

Not to mention outsiders, even He Jishen was stunned by this order!

The cavalry division that I built with my own hands is now being withdrawn! I originally wanted to show my skills, but now I have to be sent to the wilderness of the northeast to open up wasteland!

Xu Yan personally handed over the more than one hundred tractors to He Jishen.

"Ji Shen, you can't understand my decision?" Xu Yan said with a smile.

"Commander, I'm not confused. I just... I just want to achieve great things on the battlefield! I want to kill the enemy and serve my country!"

"Ji Shen, I know what you're thinking, and I'm optimistic about you! You're one of my best generals, how could I let you retire! You must train your cavalry division well! Now your horses have been replaced by tractors, and in the future they will be replaced by tanks! That's the cavalry unit I want! A mechanized cavalry unit!

As Xu Yan spoke, his eyes sparkled with longing and hope for the future. His voice was deep and powerful, as if he was announcing his determination and faith to the world. His eyes revealed a kind of firmness.

He Jishen was lost in thought and muttered to himself, "Mechanized cavalry?"

"Yes, mechanized cavalry! They will be a sharp blade for us to defeat the enemy! They will run 100 to 200 kilometers a day! They will cut the enemy like cutting melons and vegetables! Surround them! Destroy them!"

"Commander, I understand! I will definitely complete the mission! I will not let you down!"

At this point in the vast wilderness of the northeast, more than a hundred tractors were lined up in a row, changing formation from time to time!

While clearing wasteland and cultivating crops, we also conduct tactical drills!

Xu Yan personally compiled the Armored Forces Combat Manual! Although He Jishen knew nothing about armored warfare, Xu Yan explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way in the combat manual, combining the combat characteristics of cavalry units and explaining it very thoroughly!

He Jishen's troops have now been demobilized in name only, but they are still under militarized management, and it's even stricter!

Hundreds of tractors rumble here every day, performing various formations.

He Jishen was excited just thinking about it! If this was replaced with the tank that Xu Yan mentioned, how powerful would it be!

Xu Yan has already given Ye Fan a complete set of tank blueprints! It's just that the current industrial level is not enough to build it alone!

But it does not hinder Ye Fan's exploration of tank design!

Ye Fan now really admires Xu Yan more and more! He is simply a genius in mechanics!

Xu Yan once again came to Yacheng, which has now become a huge arsenal!

Due to Jing Chao's transfer, Wang Changyu is now in charge of this place. Professor Liang Hengze and Ye Fan are not interested in management, so Xu Yan has to settle for the next best thing. Is it because some of the drawings Xu Yan gave them made Liang Hengze so obsessed now!

They don't want to do anything but research! Research these machines!

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of everyone in Yacheng, the Type 15 Inflammable Rifle has now been fully mass-produced and has begun to be delivered to the troops in batches.

The latest ramjet submachine gun is also under intensive development!

Accompanied by Wang Changyu, Xu Yan visited the steel plant, arsenal and other places in Yacheng.

At this time, various mechanical equipment donated by the Soviet Union has arrived one after another, and there is no shortage of personnel.

At this time, Heilongjiang Province has already become a banner of resistance against Japan! A large number of aspiring young people have come here!

"Commander, steel production has doubled, and the annual output can reach 49 tons! But according to Dr. Ye's plan, there is still a huge gap in steel production! Especially the output of refined steel is far from reaching the target! Our technical strength is still too weak!"

"It's okay, just take your time, things will get better. What we need to do now is to ensure the existing production and meet the needs of the existing army." Xu Yan said with a smile.

"Our iron ore grade is very high and coal production is also gradually increasing, but various transportation conditions limit the mining volume," said Li Wuguang who was accompanying him.

"Oh? Transportation?" Xu Yan hadn't thought of this.

"Yes, our current transportation is very primitive. It still relies on mules and horses. There are very few vehicles and the mines are all in the mountains. There are many inconveniences," Li Wuguang explained.

"Yan, we can build the short-distance railway from the mine to the steel plant at the same time, and we can also build highways between key places!" Hu Ruoxue beside him said softly.

Xu Yan now takes Hu Ruoxue with him wherever he goes, for fear of losing her again.

Hu Ruoxue continued, "When I was studying in Germany, I went to their industrial zone. There were railways and highways crisscrossing everywhere. Their steel production is huge! There are many skilled workers. I think we can ask Germany for support."

"Ruoxue, you're right! Haha, you reminded me!" Xu Yan slapped his forehead and said, "How could I forget about Adolf! Haha!"

Hu Ruoxue is indeed a good helper. Now she helps Xu Yan deal with many matters every day.

Xu Yan saw it all. At this time, Zhao Wenyu was in charge of the secret police and the intelligence agency Os, Chen Keji was in charge of propaganda and agitation, and the army was personally in charge of Xu Yan. Xu Yan was wondering if he could hand over the government affairs and logistics to Ruoxue, because he really had no one he could trust.

"Let's go see Professor Liang and the others." Xu Yan said softly, holding Hu Ruoxue's hand.

At this time, Liang Hengze and his team were disassembling a crawler tractor donated by the Soviet Union and conducting reverse research.

Because Xu Yan said this would be of great help to their tank development!

The complexity of the gearbox and clutch really surprised them!

Liang Hengze was very excited to see Xu Yan coming over. He really missed this young leader so much.

"Commander Xu! I really miss you! Why can't you stay in Yacheng? I want to discuss many mechanical issues with you. You always give me a lot of advice! Although you are not a mechanical major, the drawings you draw are so perfect. Your unique insights into machinery make the rest of us pale in comparison!"

"Haha, Mr. Liang, you can't say that! I'm a little embarrassed. These professional matters should be left to professionals like you. I'm just a layman. Sometimes I'm just a bystander. You may get stuck in some dead ends due to your professional relationship. I will help you block some dead ends in time, haha."

"Commander Xu, you are so modest. There are many issues that we have not considered carefully, such as the battlefield environment and failure rate you mentioned!" Ye Fan added.

"You flatterers!" Suddenly an inappropriate voice came from behind the crowd!
