Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

The commander muttered after saying this: "Your minister's naming of weapons is really confusing. One moment it's 56 Chong, the next 56 Ban, and now you come up with 59 Kai.

What a…”

The commander couldn't find the right words to describe it.

"Commander, I don't know about the other weapons. I even asked our minister about the naming of the Type 59 modification. He said that the 59 in Type 5 is because our tank has five pairs of road wheels.

The 59 in 9 is because it took him 9 months to conceive it.

As for this modification, he changed the traditional joystick of the tank to a steering wheel, so he initially named it 59 modification. "

Sun Desheng was listening to Yu Ye's serious nonsense at the time. No matter what Yu Ye said, Sun Desheng believed it.

But Sun Desheng had a question at the time. Since this thing had five pairs of road wheels, why was it a 109 modification instead of a 59 modification?

But under Yu Ye's tyranny, although Sun Desheng was curious, he did not dare to ask that question.

"Then can this Type 59 modified tank defeat the Japanese tanks?"

The commander asked.

"Report to the commander. During the previous test phase, we organized a competition between our tank prototype and the Japanese Type 59 tank. In terms of mobility, our Type modified tank can be said to be far superior to the Japanese tank."

Sun Desheng stiffened his neck and spoke seriously.

"Haha, 'beat up', that's a very good word!"

The commander nodded approvingly. There was no need to think that such interesting words must have come from Yu Ye's mouth. This kid always managed to come up with new ideas for himself.

Just as the commander was about to say something, his guard ran up to him in a hurry with a telegram: "Commander, urgent news! Commander, urgent news!"

The guard ran very fast, gasping for breath. It was obvious that this report on the Zhao war was very important.

The commander grabbed the battle report and said, "The Fifth Army Headquarters, Macun, was attacked by the Japanese airborne troops an hour ago. The entire Fifth Army Headquarters was in chaos and communication with the outside world was completely cut off.

The Fifth Army Commander Zeng Zhong led a small group of troops to withdraw from the command post and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

"The devils are taking action!"

The division commander also came over to look at the telegram.

"I told him to keep his command post secret, but he refused to listen. Now he was caught off guard by the enemy's surprise attack!"

Looking at the telegram, the commander cursed in a tone of disappointment.

The commander turned to the division commander and said, "Things are really developing in the direction we expected. The Japs must have sent a large number of elite troops to attack the various headquarters of the National Army. The method they are using must be the intermittent and outflanking tactics.

Next, the Japanese will dispatch a large number of planes and tanks to advance.

What we need to do next is to delay the Japs' offensive as much as possible and slow down their attack on the Nationalist Army. We must not let them break through the Nationalist Army's defense line before we can encircle them."

After saying that, the commander turned to Sun Desheng and said, "Captain Sun, the situation is very critical now. The Japanese 41st Division and the 9th Brigade are currently charging towards the junction of the Nationalist Fifth Army and the Fourteenth Army.

Our five tanks have the best combined mobility and firepower. I want to ask you one question: Can you fight? Do you dare to fight? "

Sun Desheng did not hesitate at all and said simply: "I can fight! I dare to fight!"

"Okay! Then I will hand over all the tanks of the Japanese 41st Division and the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade to you!

You go first, I will arrange a rocket artillery battalion and a regiment to support you from behind, and also bring you additional fuel and ammunition!"

The commander immediately issued the combat order.

Sun Desheng took the order, saluted, and then immediately climbed onto the tank, shouting: "Independent Regiment Cavalry Battalion, move out!"

Five tanks turned at the same time and sped towards the Zhongtiao Mountain area in southern Shanxi, raising clouds of dust.

Sun Desheng sat in the driver's seat and led the lead vehicle as it sped along the road: "Comrades, we are going to have a blast driving tanks this time!

The minister said that our tank’s range is 580 kilometers. We have to give it a try this time!

We only have 34 shells, so you should use them sparingly. When you encounter the Japanese iron turtles, just use our Type 59 modified version to crush them first.

At worst, we can use our 12.7mm machine guns to shoot them. If that doesn't work, we can use artillery fire.

Did you hear that?"

"heard it!"

The driver, gunner, and loader said in unison.

It could be heard that although the soldiers of this cavalry battalion were heading towards an encirclement of tens of thousands of Japanese devils, they did not feel nervous at all, but rather excited.

"Let me tell you again, apart from the special tank teams, the Japanese only have division and mixed brigade-level teams equipped with tanks.

Generally, their ordinary infantry divisions are equipped with only about 10 tanks, so our task is to eat or crush these 20 or so iron turtles.

Finally, if we can successfully break through the encirclement, we will have completed all our combat missions.

Did you hear that clearly? "

"Yes, battalion commander!"

The other three members said in unison.

“To be honest, our tanks still have some flaws. The minister said that we are developing too fast and some wireless communication technologies have not been developed in time. There is still no way for our five tanks to coordinate with each other.

I'll talk to them again when we stop to rest later.

You all need to be smart and not let any of our tanks fall behind!"

Sun Desheng reminded his comrades that since it was the first time they were fighting head-on with the Japanese tanks, it would not be too careful.

"Battalion Commander, when did you become so fussy? I heard from the regiment commander that you used to greet your comrades with a big mouth when you trained them to ride horses.

If anyone disobeys or makes inappropriate tactical moves, you will just go up and kick them."

The loader had no combat mission at the moment, so he joked along with Sun Desheng's words.

"What do you know, kid? You guys are the best among this batch of tank soldiers, and you will all be commanders of other tanks in the future.

But some other guys are so stupid that they have to kick.

But we have the political commissar. Whenever I kicked these guys in the past, the political commissar would ask me to write a self-criticism, which really scared me.

You see I know so many words, I learned them from writing self-criticisms!"

Sun Desheng said helplessly.

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter broke out in the tank, filling the air with joy.

After four hours of full-speed advancement, the five tanks had traveled more than a hundred kilometers and began to gradually move deeper into the battlefield where the Japanese and the national army were fighting.

As the distance increased, the traces of fighting became more and more numerous and more brutal.

Sun Desheng looked through the periscope and saw that there were more and more corpses around him, but most of them were those of the National Army, and there were very few Japanese corpses.

"Damn, this battle was fought in a rather pathetic way."

Sun Desheng couldn't help but curse.

At the same time, everyone's emotions began to become tense, as they were about to enter a real battlefield.
