Is Seoul far?

Speaking of which, it is only 50 kilometers away from the frontline troops of the Volunteer Army.

Since the launch of the Fifth Battle, the Volunteer Army has made extremely rapid progress on the Western Front. Not only did they quickly break through the United Nations' defense lines, but each unit also adopted bold insertion tactics one after another, defeating the United Nations forces until they were completely defeated.

The only British 7th Brigade worth mentioning was severely weakened after the destruction of the Royal Tank Battalion. But before they could react, the Gloucester Battalion, which was located next to the Royal Tank Battalion, was also destroyed by the troops on the other side.

Eaten by the Volunteer Army Assault Division.

You must know that this is a unit that even Field Marshal Montgomery admires so much that even the military cap worn by the old man bears the logo of this battalion, which is the unique double cap badge in the British army.

No matter in terms of strength, equipment, or staffing, they were not far behind the British Royal Tank Battalion. However, when they faced the attack of the Volunteer Army's assault division, they only lasted for an hour and a half before being destroyed.

The British 7th Brigade, which successively lost the 6th Battalion of the Commonwealth, the Royal Tank Battalion, and the Gloucester Battalion, almost lost all its main force. Even if their brigade commander was extremely unwilling, he could not face the only two remaining combat forces.

A mediocre infantry brigade and a large number of frightened logistics troops.

All the British 7th Brigade could do was retreat, a real retreat.

The British army's choice was also very correct. Therefore, the two divisions of the Volunteer Army in front of him had formed a pincer situation against the British 7th Brigade. If they had not retreated southward earlier, what was waiting for them would be the end of the entire brigade.

.

But even so, the British 7th Brigade also suffered heavy losses. After all, unlike the previous time, in order to cooperate with the established combat plan, the British 7th Brigade made a certain retreat and contraction, and the British 7th Brigade could still maintain consistency.

At this time, they were retreating in a nice way, but in other popular terms, they were fleeing. To such an extent, they had no fighting power at all, and they didn't even have the slightest resistance.

As a result, the British army was captured in large numbers, and all kinds of weapons and equipment were scattered all over the mountains and plains. While it made it easier for the volunteers to pursue the troops, it also benefited a lot of military workers in the rear, and this naturally included Bai Bai.

Yi!

It stands to reason that Bai Yi, who is full of thoughts about the past life, looks down on the British weapons and equipment, for no other reason than because they are too weird!

Perhaps it is the complex of the empire on which the sun never sets that is at work. The British have always been different in the development of weapons. For example, the caliber of heavy field howitzers during World War II was basically 150mm, 152mm or 155mm in all countries.

Choose between three calibers.

But the British were not like that. They just came up with a nondescript 140mm caliber. As a result, it not only had a short range, but also was very weak in power. Not to mention competing with the German 150mm caliber artillery, it was even compared to Japan's terrible 150mm artillery.

Heavy artillery also has no advantage.

As for firearms, this is even more true. While other major military powers unanimously adopted the 7.62mm caliber, the United Kingdom clung to the 7.7mm caliber.

There is also the 114mm naval gun, which is regarded as a treasure by the British Navy. Until the arsenal that produced this modified caliber shell went bankrupt and the production line was closed, the conservative British Navy had to switch to the American-made 127mm naval gun.

…

There are countless such things, so Bai Yi really doesn't like the British military equipment. Even if the captured British military equipment is placed in front of him, he doesn't bother to take a look at it, and there is no appearance of other military industry technicians studying it happily.

Until one day, when Bai Yi went to a certain unit for technical maintenance, he saw Zhang Huangxin, a tanker of a certain tank regiment, scratching his head and head anxiously in front of a repair vehicle modified from an old "Cromwell" tank.

At this moment, the Soviet Major Zakharov, who was appointed as the technical instructor of the tank regiment, curled his lips indifferently, then touched the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in slightly stiff Chinese: "Oh, dear Zhang.

Comrade, you should take good care of your precious T-3485, instead of fighting with a rag that no one wants here!"

Zakharov was right. Not only did the British not want the emergency repair vehicle in front of Zhang Huangxin, but even the military technicians at the rear did not want to see it. There was no way that this emergency repair vehicle had no redeeming qualities.

I know that the Soviet Union at the same time had much better equipment in this area than this modified British vehicle.

Not to mention anything else, even the emergency repair vehicles currently equipped by several tank regiments affiliated to the Volunteer Army are much better than this one, so after this vehicle was registered by the technical staff of the Volunteer Army Logistics Department, it was thrown away as a pile of scrap metal.

There.

But such a good-for-nothing guy who no one wants makes Zhang Huangxin, a tanker in a certain tank regiment who is best at studying vehicle techniques and tactics, gnash his teeth, as if he has met a powerful enemy in life, and he has a ulterior motive and will not give up.

This made Major Zakharov confused. What on earth was in this car that could entangle this combat hero who drove the T-3485 tank into the urban area of ​​Seoul in the third battle?

?

"It is very easy to drive and very flexible to use. It can be driven away easily without much effort. I have tried it on other captured vehicles of the British Army, but none of them have this feeling, so I don't know what the reason is.

Why..."

Major Zakharov's doubts did not last long. Zhang Huangxin gave the answer. However, Major Zakharov refused to listen. When he heard it, he burst into laughter: "Easy to drive? Easy to drive? Zhang,

Do you think these are signs of strong combat effectiveness? No... you are wrong. Western tanks are easy to drive, but their combat effectiveness is not that weak. The victory achieved by Chinese comrades on the front line is a good proof, not to mention

…”

As he spoke, Zaharov's light gray eyes showed unconcealable disdain, and he shook his head slightly at the emergency repair vehicle in front of him: "The guy in front of you is modified from the most basic model of Cromwell.

, let alone now, even during World War II a few years ago, this tank was just cheese that was left to be slaughtered, not worth mentioning at all. Nowadays, if you don’t want to turn it into an antique, you can just re-smelt it.

Got it!"

"But the feeling of driving it is really different. At least it is much simpler and less labor-intensive than the T-3485 tank!"

Perhaps after listening to Major Zakharov's words, other people would probably have walked away long ago, but Zhang Huangxin is a stubborn person. As long as he is serious about something, even if it is a straight road, it will not go wrong.

too much.

However, when Zhang Huangxin heard these words in the ears of Major Zakharov, he felt very unhappy. He used a bunch of tattered modified goods that were no different from scrap metal to compare them with world classics that had outstanding achievements in World War II. For the Soviets

It's a shame to be slapped in the face.

But Zhang Huangxin didn't care so much. He looked around and found that Bai Yi was watching the excitement. Without saying a word, he rushed over, grabbed Bai Yi's arm and shouted: "Expert Yi, come here and take a look.
Chapter completed!
