Chapter 1094 - She Wants To Operate A Tank
The major general was from the army. He came from the armored forces and understood armored vehicles very well. Sometimes, he would participate in the technical guidance and maintenance of the armored vehicles.
A general that deployed with his soldiers. No wonder Xia Jinyuan said that this armored force was one of the top units in the military in terms of strength. The general leading them was a good role model in terms of enduring hardships so the grassroots officers and soldiers would definitely look up to their leader.
For the next seven days, not only did the major general teach Ye Jian personally, he even operated a tank and explained to Ye Jian the different types of tanks there were. Tanks that had autoloaders didn’t have a human loader. They only had a tank commander, a gunner, and a driver.
“The tank commander will conduct all the operations of the tank and is in charge of communication. The gunner is in charge of operating the cannon and the driver’s job is more mundane. He just needs to drive. If there’s no autoloader, we will need one more loader.”
“All these years, the discussion between manual loading and autoloading is heated. In our nation, we have manual loading and autoloading tanks. In autoloading, there’s a possibility of malfunction. Countries like America and other western nations don’t use autoloading.”
“If we base it on reliability, the most crucial factor is that people question the reliability of the autoloading function. Once the machine malfunctions, it will affect the entire situation on the battlefield. The consequence might be disastrous.”
“The highest speed of this tank is 6500 meters per hour. The steepest slope it can climb is 31 degrees and it can go through trenches 1.4 meters deep. It uses mostly high explosive anti-tank and anti-personnel grenades. Look here…” The major general started explaining the operations of the entire tank to Ye Jian, from what a tank commander should do to what the gunner needed to worry about.
Any armored soldier would be able to provide this detailed explanation to Ye Jian but the major general taught her personally because he wanted to understand how good Ye Jian was.
He was satisfied with her performance the first night. Yesterday, she stayed at the training field with the armored soldiers the entire day. The caterpillar track of one of the tanks had some problems so she lifted the heavy tools with the male soldiers without any hesitation. She didn’t show any signs of fearing hardships or tiredness.
Company Commander Zuo even spoke to him secretly yesterday, “Major general, the Special Forces soldier you mentioned, is it possible that she’s not a lady… The way she treats herself so harshly makes me scared!”
She was even more vicious than male soldiers and appeared more like a soldier than male soldiers. This kind of female soldier was like gold. No matter which military unit she went to, she would shine.
Ye Jian didn’t even wipe the sweat that flowed past the corners of her eyes as she sat in the driver’s seat. She stared intently at the major general as he explained the equipment in the tank as well as their functions.
The ventilator in the tank was always opened. However, sitting in an enclosed space, you would still perspire after some time.
They were sitting in a tank with an autoloader. The major general thoroughly explained the different ways the autoloader loaded the bullets. It was dry and hard to understand but Ye Jian listened with interest.
The major general had been observing Ye Jian’s expression all the time. He came to teach her personally in the afternoon because he wanted to know how many hardships she could endure.
The more he observed her, the more satisfied he felt. He respected the ace soldier for his sharp intuition! If he didn’t recognize this talent, according to the military’s investigation of Ye Jian’s family, this talent might disappear into the crowd and never get a chance to fight for the country.
