Chapter 639: Small armored chariot

The news propaganda film caused a huge impact in Handan, Xinzheng and other places. Zhao State held a grand victory parade in Handan. Xinzheng partyed all night. Xianyang is unwilling to lag behind. Qin State performed a grand fireworks display for three consecutive nights. The people of the three countries are very proud of the huge victory. This foreign war is not just a simple dispatch of troops. It represents a huge national cohesion. Under the influence of the huge victory, the Three Kingdoms had a confused consciousness of the Three Kingdoms.

People from Zhao and Qin from Handan toast each other. The relationship has never been so harmonious. They waved the flags of the Three Kingdoms. Express their inner excitement.

This information is only superficial. Under a huge victory. The upper levels of the three countries have discussed how to divide the fruits of victory. But Qin State didn't mean to discuss. Because no one thought of this layer. Shangwen is busy with the Yangtze River and digesting the newly occupied Western Regions. The staff and the lieutenant mansion are studying plans to continue their march. About 30,000 troops continued to occupy the southern and western regions in two divisions. And for the North Western Region. Paratroopers and some light infantry will cross the sky and enter the North Western Region as mountain troops. Another 10,000 cavalry and rapid mobile units will enter the northern western region from the entrance of the northern western region. The number of troops assembled has basically reached. A new battle will be opened soon.

King Qin inspected the new situation in the north. The grass in the north is divided into large pastures. In Simon State. King Qin met with several local ranchers. Their pasture area is as high as hundreds of thousands acres. The largest local rancher also owns a meat processing plant. This factory produces all kinds of canned beef. Luncheon meat. King Qin also tasted luncheon meat specially.

Afterwards, the meridian of the Qin Dynasty to Xianyang of the Qin State on the fifth east longitude line was the initial meridian. This longitude is probably near today's Erlianhot. There is a Mobei logistics base in Qin. That base is also the location of Meng Tian's front-line headquarters. King Qin turned from the country road to the expressway to get there. At the same time, there were secret weapons. Meng Tian was only informed of King Qin's arrival two hours in advance.

"How is it? Are you used to staying in the north?" King Qin asked kindly.

"Thank you, the king for your concern." Meng Tian replied respectfully.

"General Meng guards the entire north for the widow. The widow should." King Qin said with concern.

"How is the situation in the north? Are the Huns still going south to attack?" King Qin asked.

"The current situation is. We are actively attacking. In particular, Zhao Jun has been reinforced to more than 30,000 people. Our strength is very sufficient."

"Our supply situation is also improving. A railway is under intense construction. It can basically be opened to traffic in the next three months."

"The situation of the Huns is very bad. According to the report from the Mobei stronghold, their reconnaissance force has rarely found the opposing tribe within 500 miles. It is estimated that last winter had a great impact on the murderers." Meng Tian Introduced. In fact, King Qin knew a little bit about these things. The entire north has been depressed since winter. The soldiers of Zhao Jun had been in the stage of dress-up training during that period. Then spring began. After the grassland turned green again, it began to harass the Huns. The Huns were forced to move north again. They have arrived near Lake Baikal today. And Qin Jun is still far away in Mobei. The war in the Western Regions did not end before. It is impossible for the North to launch a large-scale offensive. King Qin wanted to completely solve the hidden dangers in the north. Therefore, King Qin pinned his hopes on new weapons.

"Well. The widow is here this time. I brought you a new weapon. I hope to change the current situation." King Qin said. Meng Tian wanted to see the weapons brought by King Qin curiously.

Talking. A huge big iron box slowly opened out. He looks like a big box-like beetle. Six water-cooled machine guns continuously rotate the interface. As if they were going to shoot their target.

"How?" King Qin asked.

"This?" Meng Tian asked, bewildered.

"This is a new type of armored chariot manufactured by Xianyang Arsenal. No one can beat this armored chariot." King Qin said excitedly. Speaking of the armored chariot smashing the small gravel they could smash with its crawler and making a "kapp" sound.

Meng Tian also recovered from the state of surprise just now. He began to observe and think about how to use this new weapon.

Most of Meng Tian's troops were cavalry or infantry units that were maneuverable on horses. The northern grassland is vast. Even riding a horse feels that the grassland is too big. This vast area is very suitable for the deployment of mobile forces. Both sides are very aggressive. in contrast. Defensive aspect. Unless it does not cut off logistics. Sticking to combat power will exert a very large force.

This terrain factor determines that high mobility is required for grassland operations. Obviously, the speed of this armored chariot made Meng Tian very dissatisfied.

The armored tank is equipped with six water-cooled machine guns. The weapon is not weak at all. The protection is also very good. King Qin showed Meng Tian the scene of rifle shooting. The bullet was bounced easily. The speed of bullets far exceeds that of the Xiongnu's bows and arrows. The power is also much stronger. The cavalry on both sides are light cavalry. Did not pay too much attention to protection. Especially the Qin Army, who is in absolute advantage. Even the leather armor is removed.

But speed. The speed is too low. The Qin Army is currently in an offensive state. The Huns are in a state of avoidance. The Qin army needed to run for hundreds of miles to attack the opponent's tribe. Obviously, this slowly advancing tank cannot meet the combat needs of the north.

Meng Tian shook his head after seeing it.

"This armored chariot is very powerful. The protection is very good. But it is difficult to use in the northern grasslands!" Meng Tian said.

Subsequently, Meng Tian introduced the northern combat style in detail. Then put the armored fighting vehicle into the battle hypothetically. The shortcomings of the armored chariot were exposed.

The Qin Army does not need a tank with a strong assault force. It is a cavalry unit with strong mobility. The armored tanks are still lacking in this regard.

However, Meng Tian proposed his own improvement method. When he communicated with the technicians and learned about the power output and staffing of the armored tank. Meng Tian germinated the idea of ​​a small armored combat vehicle.

"My lord, if this armored chariot is only equipped with two people. It is driven by one person. One person operates the machine gun. This armored tank can also increase the speed. In this way. This armored tank can attack. Retreat and defend. This is like one. The existence of armored cavalry". Meng Tian put forward his idea of ​​a small armored fighting vehicle.

King Qin thought it could. Let people rebuild a small armored chariot for trial. Then Qin Wang Mengtian inspected other places. And Guanzhong, thousands of miles away. A huge automotive revolution is being staged at this time. Qin will move towards a country on wheels. An automobile revolution is emerging.
