Chapter 166 Type 69 Tank
The sniper rifles we need were shipped in a week, with a total of 300 svds...
This made the soldiers very happy, especially the soldiers of the Third Company, because they knew that these sniper rifles were used to equip the Third Company... Sniper company, so what else can they use without sniper rifles?
But the order I gave quickly disappointed them...
"No sniper rifles are allowed to be equipped, but type 56 submachine guns are trained!"
The reason for doing this... I know that the sniper rifle is still a very valuable resource for us at this time... You should know that all of these svds are Su-made svds, which means that each one is taken from the Vietnamese devils, which means that the first one is exchanged for the blood and lives of the soldiers.
Indeed, Commander Zhang said that our own sniper rifle will come out soon. But... as far as I know, our own sniper rifle was not mass-produced until 1981. That is to say... at least for more than a year, the sniper rifle we produce ourselves has problems with one kind or another.
Then...If we want to maintain combat effectiveness, if we want to use sniper rifles on the battlefield...then we have to protect these weapons during normal training.
"Battery Commander!" Company Commander Luo was obviously itchy, so he asked more: "It is reasonable for other companies to not equip sniper rifles, but we are sniper companies. After all, we have to equip a few to make the soldiers familiar..."
"You have already read the training subject!" I asked back without answering.
"Look!" Commander Luo nodded.
“What are some of the training subjects you started?”
"Retreat, disguise, sneak, lurk..." After saying that, a few Corps Luo seemed to have realized something, so he stopped talking about it.
"Yes!" I said, "I'm practicing these subjects now. Why do you ask the soldiers to carry sniper rifles to do? Let these treasures get rusted?"
So Company Commander Luo had nothing to say.
What surprised me was that a batch of new equipment came that afternoon.
What surprised me even more was that this batch of new equipment was still the Type 69 tank...
What surprised me even more was that the one who brought these tanks was still a woman... a fashionable woman!
"Are you the Captain Yang? You need to sign and accept this batch of tanks!" The woman said, "I'm going to sign and accept Chinese in a difficult manner, and then pointed to the lower right corner and said, "Sign it here!"
I looked at this woman with a strange look, and the soldiers also looked at the woman with curious eyes... it was not because she came with a tank, nor because she was beautiful... In fact, there was partly because she was beautiful, but it was also because of her outfit... wearing gold-rimmed glasses, jeans and a pair of sneakers were exposed under her white work clothes.
I feel sensitive to this woman's "modern" flavor, because I haven't seen jeans and sneakers for a long time, especially women are wearing it.
"You are not Chinese, are you?" I asked by the way when signing the autograph. The reason I asked this is because her accent is a bit weird.
"I am Chinese!" she replied: "I just grew up in the United States! My surname is Li, my name is Li Li... I'm called her in English... Forget it, you don't understand even if you say it!"
When I heard her arrogant words, I couldn't help but feel a little angry. Mom! I'm beating me... I passed the CET-4 English test, but I just got someone to take the exam!
Because my English level is indeed limited, I didn't know her well, and then asked: "Then your job is..."
"I'm here to evaluate these equipment!" Li Li pointed to the Type 69 tanks and said, "Simply put... it is for you to use it, I observe, write a report, and then solve the problem... I understand?"
"Oh!" Li Li's Chinese is not very fluent, but I still understand. She turned out to be a weapon expert... So I thought to myself: Li Li comes from the United States... Does this mean that the United States has supported China to some extent?
This may be a big surname... The United States does not want to stimulate the Soviet Union too much, so it allows some Chinese Americans or Chinese talents who have lived and studied in the United States to return to China with technology, so that they can achieve their goals without leaving any talk... It is indeed a very clever method.
But I soon discovered the problem...
"Why are these tanks still using smoothbore guns?" I asked strangely as I looked at the 100mm written on the list.
"Is there any problem?" Li Li asked.
"Of course there is a problem!" I said, "Don't you know that the 59 we used are all rifled guns?"
"Of course I know!" Li Li replied impatiently: "But do you know that tanks in basically all countries in the world are now using smoothbore guns. The benefits of tanks using smoothbore guns are not comparable to those of rifled guns..."
"Stop..." I handed back the documents to Li Li, frowned and interrupted her, "Drive the tank back, replace them with rifled cannons and then drive them back... By the way, I also replaced the cannons of the t62 tanks we had taken, all with 100mm rifled cannons!"
"How can you say that!" Li Li opposed angrily: "Captain Yang, before cooperation, I hope you understand two points: First, I am not under your command; second, I am a professional, and the evaluation report is my business, and you have no right to interfere!"
"Professional..." I let out a disdainful laugh.
If this were the case in the past, I wouldn't have been so rude to the lady, but I just couldn't stand her arrogant attitude, so now I'm not willing to let go.
"Ms. Li Li!" I said, "I also hope you can understand two things: First, I am not under your command, so you have no right to let me use it. Second, I am the one who fights, and I am the one who goes to the battlefield. I don't want to bring such things to the battlefield to die, so I have the right to refuse to use it! Do you understand?"
"You..." Li Li was so angry that her face turned pale, and she couldn't help but curse in English: "stupidchine color!stupidchie color idea! (Silly Chinese, stupid Chinese concept)"
Although I was not good at English, I could still understand these two sentences, so my face changed and I said, "Ms. Li Li, are you not a Chinese? If you are not, please go back to the United States and tell our American allies that we don't need such stupid weapons experts!"
"You..." Li Li was so angry that she couldn't speak. Then she quickly widened her eyes and asked in surprise: "Can you understand what I said? Do you know English?"
"Comrade, comrade..." At this time, a middle-aged man in work clothes came up to me and handed me a cigarette and said, "Comrade, please calm down... This is not what we meant... How many days will it take for us to drive the tank back and forth! And the modification does not mean that it is just modified, so it is not efficient, right? Otherwise, we will record your opinion first, and you will use the tank first, and when we find other problems... we have collected all the problems almost, and then refit them again. What do you think?"
"Yeah!" I thought about it and felt that the middle-aged man was right, so I nodded.
In order to show sincerity, the middle-aged man actually took out his pen and said, remembering: "Suggestion: Change the 100mm smoothbore cannon to a 100mm rifled cannon..."
I didn't want to say anything else, but when I saw Li Li laughing disdainfully, I couldn't help but feel angry again, so I said to the middle-aged man: "This suggests that you can't write this way, you should write... Although the smoothbore gun has the advantages of large kinetic energy, strong armor-piercing ability, low cost, and long life, most of our army's tanks are equipped with 100mm rifled guns, in order to avoid the problem of supply chaos on the battlefield, it is recommended that the Type 69 tanks put on the battlefield be modified to a 100mm rifled gun!"
When I said this, the middle-aged man and Li Li couldn't help but give me a surprise look... They thought I was just a stupid soldier who knew nothing. Who knew not only that I understood the advantages and disadvantages of the smoothbore gun and the rifled gun, but also proposed a good reason why the smoothbore gun was not suitable for the battlefield.
And I raised my head at Li Li again and said, "Professional? You must also know how to fight in war! Tanks are used for war, not for you to be professional!"
This made Li Li so angry that she rolled her eyes, but she didn't know what to say to refute me!
Looking at her angry look, I felt happy, and the soldiers around me also cheered and shouted:
"Good battalion commander!"
"The battalion commander is more professional than professional!"
...
These words only made the staff feel as if they had lost a battle.
But I also know that this matter should be stopped. These staff members can be said to be the future of weapons and equipment in our hands. It can be said that they will rely on them whether the guys in our hands are good or not... so this is unaffordable.
So he waved his hand to stop urging his soldiers, walked up and stretched out his hand and said to the middle-aged man: "We have accepted the tank, but it is only for training. We refuse to use it on the battlefield before it is modified. There is no problem!"
"No problem!" The middle-aged man nodded, paused and continued, "My name is Wu Zhensheng, I am the deputy leader of this evaluation team, and the leader is..."
Speaking of this, I glanced at Li Li, who was still sulking, smiled at me awkwardly, and said, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" I waved my hand, and Huang Jianfu and his tank soldiers who had been waiting aside rushed to take over the Type 69 tanks.
So I knew... What was placed in front of us was not only the training of two unprecedented troops, but also the training of "little mouse" to experiment with new equipment, and more new equipment may be shipped to us one after another...
