Bright Sword: I am Li Yunlong's old squad leader

Chapter 107 Visiting a Tractor Factory

Early the next morning, Guderian and his men drove straight to the tractor factory 100 kilometers away.

There are neatly parked tractors outside the tractor factory.

Where had Li Yunlong and his friends ever seen a tractor?

This large tractor looks taller than the Japanese tanks.

"Old squad leader, these Russians are amazing. How did they build so many tanks? I just counted them and there are at least four or five thousand."

Kong Jie frowned and fell into deep thought: "If we were given half of these tanks, we would not be afraid of these little devils. Even if we were given 100, we would not be afraid of those little devils."

"These are not their tanks, these are their tractors. The tractors are used like the buffaloes in our hometown."

Li Yunlong and the others were stunned when they heard this.

They never imagined that the Russians would go to so much trouble to produce so many machines that could replace the functions of buffaloes.

Gao Qihang and his men came over and said, "Captain, didn't these Russians take us to visit the tank factory? Why did they take us to the tractor factory?"

“That’s what makes them so great.”

“In peacetime, their factories produced tractors.

When war comes, their factories will only need to be slightly converted to mass-produce tanks."

Wang Tianyou admired the Russians' approach very much.

During World War II, many workers at tractor factories drove their newly assembled tanks out of the factory to fight against the soldiers of the German Empire.

Star tanks like T26 and T34 were all produced in tractor factories.

This tank has a simple structure and can be mass-produced.

Especially the T34 main battle tank. During the entire World War II, the Russians produced more than of them.

The German Empire produced more than 5000 tanks throughout World War II.

The German Empire only produced 1500 Tiger tanks in total.

Only more than 120 of their proud King Tiger tanks were produced.

With more than 5000 tanks fighting against more than tanks, it is impossible for them not to fail.

Led by Guderian, everyone walked into the factory talking and laughing.

When they arrived at the factory, everyone was stunned with shock.

On the production line, thousands of workers are assembling more than 200 tractors.

The factory director came over quickly.

"Wang Tianyou, feel free to ask any questions you have for the people you brought with you."

Wang Tianyou nodded, he turned around and looked at Wang Chengzhu: "Zhuzi, you guys who know the technology, watch it carefully for me.

If you don't understand anything, just ask.

Don't be embarrassed, the most important thing is to learn the real skills."

Wang Chengzhu and the dozen or so people nodded.

Everyone asked as they walked.

Only then did Wang Tianyou realize that a tractor factory like this could normally produce 500 tractors per month.

If full firepower is used during wartime, 1200 vehicles can be produced this month, which means that many vehicles can be produced this year.

This is just the production capacity of one tractor factory. The Russians have six tractor factories like this one.

No wonder during World War II, facing the German Empire's heavy bombing, the Russians were still able to produce more than 80,000 tanks.

What Wang Tianyou was most interested in was not anything else but the diesel engine of this tractor.

T34坦克采用的是着名的12缸39升v2柴油发动机,功率可以达到500马力。

It is precisely because of the outstanding performance of this diesel engine that the T34 main battle tank can reach a maximum speed of 55 kilometers per hour on the road.

The most important thing is that this type of tank is fuel-efficient. Once fully fueled, it can travel up to 540 kilometers.

This means that the tank can travel more than 1000 miles.

You should know that the maximum driving distance of the King Tiger tank of the same period was only 160 kilometers.

A Tiger tank needs to refuel after running 100 kilometers.

In addition, the Tiger tank's diesel engine has extremely poor performance and often has problems at normal temperatures.

The reason why the Tiger tank was able to deal with the T34 tank in actual combat was mainly because it was equipped with large-caliber artillery and extremely indestructible armor.

"Comrade factory director, I would like to send a group of people to your factory to study." Since the Russians have agreed to send technical personnel to help them develop their military industry.

It shouldn't be a problem to send someone to study.

The factory director hesitated and didn't say anything, so Guderian nodded for him.

After visiting the tractor manufacturing plant, everyone drove 200 kilometers straight to the aircraft manufacturing plant.

Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing, and was extremely happy.

"Old squad leader, when will we be able to own such a good factory like the Russians?" After visiting the factory, Kong Jie didn't even want to smoke.

"Don't worry, in a few years, we will be able to own factories just like the Russians."

As a person who traveled through time, Wang Tianyou knew that the tanks produced by China in the future would not be worse than those produced by the Russians.

In terms of many tank performance aspects, the tanks produced by China in the future are actually far ahead of the Russians.

"Although the Russian tanks are not the best in the world, their tanks have a simple structure and are easy to repair, which is more than enough to deal with the Japanese." Wang Tianyou knew that if he had 200 tanks, he could definitely sweep across the Japanese in northwestern Shanxi.

"Old squad leader, we are really lucky to have come with you this time." Li Yunlong chuckled, "Old squad leader, if you get the tanks, you have to give me at least ten or eight of them when you go back."

When Kong Jie heard this, his eyes widened: "Li Yunlong, you only have so many people under you, and you still want ten or eight tanks.

You are just a greedy kid who wants to swallow an elephant."

Everyone was talking and laughing along the way, and at this moment, the roar of an engine was heard in the air.

Several Yak fighters flew quickly over their heads.

This Yak fighter occupies an extremely important position in the Russian Air Force.

The performance of the Yak fighter was not as good as most fighters of the German Empire.

During World War II alone, more than 1000 German aircraft were shot down by Yak fighters.

This type of aircraft is more than enough to deal with the Japanese Type 96 fighter jets.

In this era, the Japanese Zero fighter had not yet been developed.

With these weapons and equipment, Wang Tianyou was confident that he could produce more advanced aircraft before the Japanese Zero fighter was developed.

Gao Qihang and Li Changkong are all air force pilots.

All they had flown before were biplane propeller fighters.

This biplane propeller fighter is a product from before World War I. It is already outdated in this era.
