Bright Sword: I am the old squad leader of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle

“I want to see your barracks.

Or take a tour of your munitions factory."

Khorkina frowned. This fortress was far away from the military camp and even farther from the military factory.

"There is a tractor factory 50 kilometers away. This tractor factory can also produce tanks. If you are interested, I can take you there to have a look."

When Ling Yunzhi heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Ling Yunzhi knew that the Russian system made many factories dual-use for military and civilian purposes.

This civilian tractor factory can be converted into a tank production plant during war.

When the German Empire entered St. Petersburg.

Workers from several tractor factories in St. Petersburg drove their newly assembled T34 tanks out of the factory and shot at the soldiers of the German Empire.

The soldiers of the German Empire were of excellent quality and their weapons and equipment were also quite sophisticated.

Take their tanks, for example.

They have the famous Tiger tank, Elephant tank, and Panther tank.

At the end of World War II, they even developed the King Tiger tank.

However, these tanks were not equipped in large numbers.

During the entire World War II, the German Empire's army was equipped with more than 1600 vehicles.

However, there were only less than 180 of the famous King Tiger tanks.

On the other hand, the Russians produced many T34 tanks during the entire war.

The overall performance of the Russian T34 tank is definitely not as good as the Tiger tank, and the gap with the King Tiger tank is even greater.

However, even if all of these more than 1000 tanks were placed on the Russian battlefield, they would not be able to withstand the successive attacks of nearly 34 T tanks.

The two jumped into a military jeep. Ling Yunzhi, under the envious gazes of Li Yunlong and the iron triangle of northwest Shanxi, held Khorkina's hand and drove to the tractor factory in the distance.

Along the way, the two people had a very pleasant conversation.

The little girl, Khorkina, is now at an innocent and dreamy age. She likes poetry, literature and ballet.

Ling Yunzhi talked to her about everything from Pushkin to Tolstoy.

Talked about "Anna Karenina" and then "War and Peace".

We talked about "Young Guards" from "Hunter's Notes".

Ling Yunzhi even talked about "How the Steel Was Tempered".

The way Khorkina looked at Ling Yunzhi also changed. The little girl's gaze at Ling Yunzhi changed from admiration to worship.

When they were about to reach the tractor factory, Ling Yunzhi once again hummed the popular song "Katyusha".

The guard at the tractor factory saw the general's vehicle and quickly let it pass.

Soon, Belizov, the director of the tractor factory, came out quickly.

After the little girl Khorkina explained their purpose, the factory director Benzov quickly took them straight to the workshop.

Hundreds of brand new four-wheel tractors are parked in the huge square outside the workshop.

Next to these four-wheel tractors, there are more than 500 crawler tractors.

No wonder the Russian tractor factory could be easily transformed into a tank production plant during the war.

There is not much difference between this crawler tractor and a tank.

All you need to do is turn the top of a crawler tractor over to create a tank gun, and it will become a tank.

Everyone entered the tractor factory workshop.

This tractor factory has five production lines, and hundreds of workers are busy on each line.

Sparks from electric welding flew everywhere.

The roar of the machines was deafening.

All the workers were concentrating on their work.

What Ling Yunzhi didn't expect was that the five production lines of the tractor factory were not producing tractors, but tanks and armored vehicles.

As a special forces expert, Ling Yunzhi recognized the models of these tanks and armored vehicles at a glance.

At this time, the T34 tank had not yet been developed. All the tanks produced in the factory were T26 tanks.

The armor and turret of the T26 tank are completely incomparable to those of the T34 tank.

But Ling Yunzhi knew that using the T26 tank to deal with the Japanese tanks was like poking tofu with chopsticks, which would hit the target with one shot.

There are two main types of tanks equipped by the Japanese in the Kanto region. One is the Douding tank, which weighs only 3.5 tons.

This tank does not have a tank gun, but is equipped with two heavy machine guns.

The armor of this tank is also pitifully thin, only five millimeters thick.

These little Japanese devils can only bully the Chinese army with their tiny tanks; they have no anti-tank weapons.

Another type of tank equipped by the Japanese in the Kanto region was the Type 89 tank.

This tank is a killer weapon in the eyes of the Japanese. The weight of this Type 13.5 tank can reach an astonishing tons.

However, the armor of the Type 13.5 tank is only mm.

The main weapons of the Type 30 tank are a 6.42mm short gun and a caliber heavy machine gun.

The Japanese's 30mm caliber artillery was completely unable to penetrate the T26 tank.

If the two types of tanks meet, the T26 tank can completely defeat the Japanese's - tanks, not to mention the Japanese's small tanks.

The production line that produces crawler tractors is working at full capacity to produce T26 tanks.

The production line for four-wheel tractors is now fully engaged in the production of BA 3 armored vehicles.

The BA 3 armored vehicle adopts four-wheel drive, and the turret on the BA 3 armored vehicle is exactly the same as the turret of the T26 tank.

"Comrade Director, how many tanks and armored vehicles can your factory produce in a year?"

The factory director Berizov made no secret: "If we produce at full capacity, we can produce more than 2000 tanks and armored vehicles a year.

Of course, if war breaks out, we can triple our output.”

Ling Yunzhi gave a thumbs up.

"If I want to build such a production line for producing tanks and armored vehicles in my country, how long will it take?" Ling Yunzhi had already had the idea at this time.

If we could build such a tank production line in our own country, producing two to three thousand tanks and armored vehicles a year, we wouldn't have to worry about the Japanese.

"This tank production line is very simple. If you want to set up a production line somewhere else, you can assemble it within 15 days."

A tank production line can be assembled within 15 days, which is an amazing speed.

Accompanied by everyone, Ling Yunzhi walked carefully to the production line.

Their tractor factory does not actually produce tanks, they just assemble tanks.

As long as there is enough steel and enough engines, assembling tanks is much easier.

After several people walked out of the main production plant, they headed towards the gun production plant next to it.
