Chapter 301 Snow Red and Blood White 2

Dai Peng circled around the trailer a few times. With his feeling, this must be a much larger guy than a jackal light tank, especially the long barrel, which is clearly a tank. Casual field repair vehicles and ammunition trucks also illustrate the problem.

The person in charge of the team is a young captain. After asking Dai Peng, he learned that the captain's name was Lu Yu, who belonged to the special armored force directly under the war zone. They were a passing experimental force. Because of the blizzard, they were delayed in Chaoyang. What task they performed, Lu Yu with a smile on his face said a word. It was not disclosed, so it left Dai Peng with the impression of a bad guy who didn't tell the truth.

In fact, Lu Yu's test team is responsible for transporting one for high-intensity marching in the mountains, testing the new load-bearing wheel test escort detachment, all six jackal light tanks, plus one command vehicle, three accompanying ammunition vehicles and two full-function terrain vehicles. The so-called full-function terrain vehicle is a kind of large The type of armored car can be used by eight people to live in it. However, the two large full-function terrain vehicles escorted by Lu Yu live in three male engineers in one car and two female load design researchers in the other. It is much warmer to live in the car than in the house in the military camp, and the bathroom is complete. Lu Yu is naturally envious, but technology is the first combat effectiveness. As long as the iron horse completes various improvements and tests as soon as possible, that is Lu Yu's happiest thing. Although the name of the jackal light tank can be outstanding, to put it bluntly, it is still a light tank!

In the minds of real armored soldiers, the torrent of steel refers to medium and heavy tanks, and the rolling torrent of steel crushes any enemy who dares to provoke.

However, the heavy snow and difficult roads hindered Lu Yu's retreat plan. The first garrison was the only one in the garrison that strengthened a well-prepared brigade. The rest of the divisions were built by the second brigade and the fourth regiments. Even so, the second heavy fortress artillery group of the Chaoyang garrison could not be added up to the garrison. More than 19,000 people, it can be said that the force is weak, and now all the personnel have participated in the snow removal operation in Chaoyang City.

In the eyes of poets, snow may be beautiful, but in the eyes of the people, heavy snow means disaster. Livestocks are frozen to death, and houses are crushed by heavy snow. Residents in more than 20 settlements near Chaoyang are gathering in Chaoyang City at this moment. Dai Peng, as the police commander, has also prepared a lot of food and resettlement places.

Chaoyang is a famous historical and geographical city. It has set up counties and counties since the Western Han Dynasty. Chaoyang was called the land of Liaoxi in ancient times. Because its geographical location is located in the ancient transportation hub from the Central Plains to the northeast, the historical ethnic activities are in the link between the Han people in the Central Plains and the exchange and integrated development of the ethnic minorities in Northeast China, so the Central Plains All dynasties have set up border towns here, and when all ethnic groups in Northeast China entered the Central Plains, they should also take this place as a must-have place, making Chaoyang a strategic place for all dynasties.

The surface of the Chaoyang is full of mountains, the hills are undulating, the canyons are intertwined, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal. There are only small flats of mountains and the impact plains along the river. The structure is a typical area of seven mountains, one water and two fields.

However, Chaoyang is rich in mineral resources, especially mineral resources with the characteristics of wide distribution, variety and great development potential. At present, more than 50 kinds of beneficial mineral deposits have been found in the territory, with more than 500 production areas. The proven reserves of manganese are the first in the northeast, and the molybdenum output ranks second in the country. It is one of the eight major gold producing areas in China.

So when Zhang Xuewu counterattacked with Chengde, he first ignored the actual situation at that time and resolutely drove the remnants to fight in Chaoyang. After that, he immediately began to build Chaoyang Fortress. Now Chaoyang City is basically full of miners and family members and engineering machinery mining personnel. Mainly.

In addition, since the end of the Battle of Rehe in 1933, the national defense fortifications of Zhang Xuewu in Chaoyang has not stopped, and has been built on the basis of a large amount of manpower and material resources. During the siege of the Japanese army, the fortifications in Chaoyang have not relaxed at all.

The overall layout of Chaoyang Fortress City is to use the original city walls to pile up earth and stone in the urban area along the Daling River to create a defensive isolation belt five kilometers long and 30 meters wide. The method of bluestone accumulation and concrete casting is used, and underground bunkers and passages are chiseled below, with the main position of Wolf Mountain as the core, more than 100 There is always a firepower point, and each support point has a telephone as a means of communication.

220 light and heavy artillery are deployed in 20 large permanent artillery fire fortifications. These large underground fortifications are completely new for this era. Their design can be called revolutionary. The main fortifications of Wolf Mountain are built at a depth of 20 meters below the top of the mountain or ridge, surrounded by stone and reinforced concrete. The long main tunnel is built. One end of the main tunnel is connected to a simple living area, and the other end is a battle area, which can be reached through smaller tunnels, stairs and lifts. The largest large underground fortification support point is guarded by a battalion of troops, through which personnel, equipment and ammunition are transported by railcars.

The large-scale underground fortifications of reading power are completely powered by electricity and equipped with all the facilities needed for life. Each large-scale underground fortification is a self-sufficient underground town with its own wells, food supply and power generation equipment, and oil reserves. It can be isolated from the world, and the reading power can survive for up to two months. For a long time, the threat of a gas attack that is likely to be carried out by the Japanese army has generated ventilation and filter equipment with slightly higher pressure in the fortifications.

The howitzer group does not directly observe the target when fighting. The ground observers notify the underground fire control command post by telephone to correct the gunfire. The central core command post of Wolf Mountain will convey orders to each bunker one by one. The large bunker is equipped with cannons, mortars and machine guns.

The bunker of the core fortifications is equipped with dozens of heavy machine guns, which shoots without dead angles. The 100mm cannon is hidden in a steel, liftable turret, and the turret is fixed on a circular turntable made of reinforced concrete. Because only a steel dome is exposed on the ground, it is not possible to find it from a distance. The cannon is very safe in the war room. In order to consider that if a Japanese soldier penetrates through the machine gun fire to the outer wall of the fortifications, a hand-controlled grenade launcher like a chute oil cylinder can send batches of grenades out of the wall to destroy the enemy. If the enemy enters the gate and enters the underground fortification passage, they will be attacked by this A bunker machine gun shot in a large underground fortification.

Zhang Xuewu's requirement for the main fortification is to be able to withstand the direct hit of the 240mm heavy artillery. After one meter thick concrete is a two-meter thick and neatly arranged boulder, steel plate and half a meter thick concrete pouring.

Zhang Xuewu mainly considered the powerful fortification killer of the Japanese Army's Type 38 150mm cannon. In particular, after the Japanese Army failed to fully besiege four fortress cities last time, he said that he had developed a brand-new Type 97 150mm cannon, which can be said War is a catalyst for military industry. The reason why I did not make the Type 97 150mm cannon in history is that it is of no big use for the [***] team, which is even called a 75mm heavy gun. One reason why it does not make a large number of tanks is the limitation of resources, and the other is for the Chinese battlefield. It is basically a waste, and it is necessary to promote development.

Now it is an important surname for the tank I found, but it must be too late to design and produce it now, so I have used my ultimate imagination and invented a variety of ways to fight tanks with Japanese and national characteristics.

It can be said that the overall construction of Chaoyang Fortress City is more than the total investment of Chengde, Chifeng and Zhangjiakou, because the gold mined from Chaoyang has continuously turned into various equipment, equipment and industrial products urgently needed by Zhang Xuewu through Zhou Ying.

It is said that my attack came very suddenly, even unexpectedly. The No. 13 settlement has been interrupted for a day, and the rescue convoy sent has no news. Although Dai Peng is the commander of the guard, due to the special surname of Chaoyang, his guard commander is basically the army. If there are large-scale casualties, he will also be blamed. Dai Peng did not think about the tank company stationed in Lu Yu near the East Gate. That is the weakness of Chaoyang Fortress, just like the powerful masters have a life gate, which seems to be a powerful Chaoyang Fortress. The life gate is at the East Gate, which is not the only way to communicate with the outside world during the Chaoyang War. However, in front of the Daling River with sufficient water, all forced crossings can only become floating clouds.

But now the Daling River is frozen! This is also the most important reason for Dai Peng's upset. One of his garrison divisions is scattered at all the support points of the fortress. His only mobile force is only one battalion and his division's guard company. Not to mention the counterattack, the patrol line seems to be insufficient, but Dai Peng also believes in the research and judgment of the war zone staff, so On a cold day, I would not take the risk of attacking, and my equipment did not seem to be enough to cope with this sudden cold.

However, soon the bad news came. There was only one car in the convoy they sent. Two injured soldiers escaped. They claimed to have encountered the Japanese army, but they could not explain the size and number of the Japanese army. Obviously, their troops were caused by the organized ambush of the Japanese army. What made Dai Peng confused was that he should How to deal with it? Just a Kwantung Army unit that took risks? Or does the Japanese army intend to launch an attack on the whole Chaoyang Fortress? Launch an attack on Chaoyang at this time?

Dai Peng felt that it was a little difficult to imagine, but Dai Peng still organized officers and soldiers to immediately stop the cold and disaster relief work, and began to clean up the snow and frozen fortifications on the defense line, as well as the rotating mechanism of the rotating turret.
