Chapter 9 Transforming Armored Trucks
Four soldiers who volunteered to participate in the experiment told Hu Fei and Wei Lihuang that although they were hiding under the activity fortress, they were very safe, and the shells outside could not hurt them at all. The four people felt the most uncomfortable with the vibration. The vibration caused by the shells exploded nearby made them very uncomfortable.
However, once the soldiers go to the battlefield, even if there is no such activity fortress, the shells explode nearby and there will be no vibration? Isn’t it the same? The vibrations that people hide in the activity fortress are not greater than those outside, and they should even be smaller than those outside. The people inside can be safe and worry-free as long as they plug their ears. In other words, this activity fortress is completely successful!
Wei Lihuang was overjoyed when he heard this and ordered the Logistics Department to use this activity fortress as a template to carry out large-scale manufacturing and produce 1,000 vehicles in advance!
"Mantian, since the activity fortress can be built, can we try the chariot? If we work harder, I will give you this task together! If we really can build our own domestic tanks and armored vehicles, I will go to the central government to ask for me!"
Tanks? Armored Vehicles? Hu Fei grinned at the moment he heard this. Can that thing be made by me? Can I make things that so many military experts in China cannot make? Master, do you look down on me too highly?
"Report to the chief, a low position, a low position may not be competent."
"Oh? Why?" Wei Lihuang's two colors sank slightly. Although his tone was still calm, his unhappiness had already fallen on his face.
"Captain Guard," Hu Fei has always been very brave. Even when facing the commander-in-chief of the war zone, Wei Lihuang, he could still respond calmly. "When Hu Fei was a child, he only went to a private school, neither went to a well-known institution, nor studied in famous military academies at home and abroad. I am really unable to do this job in developing high-end weapons. Even if I force myself to do it, I may end up ruining the country and people. Please think twice."
Wei Lihuang frowned and pondered for a moment, stared at Hu Fei for another half a minute. If it were someone else, he would have been so nervous that he would have been at a loss. Hu Fei stood there, staring straight at the second-level general in front of him, Wei Lihuang, commander of the war zone commander.
"Mantian, I think you have misunderstood. I didn't ask you to build tank armored vehicles, I just wanted you to transform a group of vehicles that can fight both offense and defense." Wei Lihuang explained patiently, but how could Hu Fei listen to his words and not believe them. What else can be done with both offense and defense combat vehicles besides tanks and armored vehicles?
"I hope to hear the details."
"For example, I will give you a truck, and you will install protective armor on the truck according to the manufacturing method of the mobile fortress, and then install a turret. Isn't it? I didn't ask you to set up an arsenal, and how many vehicles will be used to produce tanks for me every month."
So that's it! Hu Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had doubts in his heart, so he was still hesitating and not as happy as he agreed.
"The sky is full of heaven, you are all over the sky, what do you want me to say about you?" Seeing Hu Fei's appearance, Wei Lihuang pointed with a little amused, "Are you worried that you can't go back after staying here? What era is it now? It's the Republic of China, the National Government is in power, and the feudal emperor has long collapsed!"
"We believe in republic and democracy. Your old warlord idea of concealing self-proclaimed is out of date. It's time to change it! Let go of the eighty-eighth-sided and look at the bigger world so that you can keep up with the pace of the times and make progress. Do you understand?" Seeing Hu Fei nodding with a smile on his face, how could Wei Lihuang not know that this person didn't hear it at all?
"Forget it. The reason why your old ideas are so stubborn may be related to your early experience. This conceptual problem cannot be changed in just one or two days. So, you can build a few and five vehicles for me first. As long as you transform five armored vehicles for me, I will immediately let you go back to the 88th Column. And, you will also add twenty Maxim heavy machine guns and twenty mortars to your troops!"
"Where are the bullets and shells?" Hu Feicai didn't care what Wei Lihuang looked like, he was not vague at all about what he could fight for.
"Hmph, I'll give you 50,000 bullets, and the shells give you two bases. Are you satisfied?"
"Thank you, sir!" Hu Fei saluted Wei Lihuang. Chief Wei shook his head and returned the salute helplessly. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind him, "Snap time to transform the chariot. The battle between us and the Japanese army will accumulate small and become a large battle at any time. Don't miss the opportunity to fight."
Look at what this said, it’s a missed opportunity? I’ll help you create a fortress for activities, but it’s a missed opportunity! Although he was secretly dissatisfied with Wei Lihuang’s attitude, he was unwilling to contradict the war zone commander on the spot. Forget it, isn’t it just to install a layer of armored steel plate on the truck? What’s that?
After seeing off Chief Guard and his group, the War Zone Logistics Department sent someone to measure the size of the activity fortress. The armored equipment research and development department developed the activity fortress as a treasure. It is OK to measure the size, but there is no way to take the door away!
After another [31 Novel Network Updated Fast] Two days later, the truck used for transformation came. Five brand new American General Trucks drove into the courtyard of the Defense R&D Office. Five drivers and a platoon escort soldier came with the car. The platoon leader told Hu Fei: This truck is newly imported, and the Chief Guard has an order. If the truck is handed over to you, it will be your freedom. It is your right to cut the truck into a pile of firewood and burn it. Others have no right to interfere!
Looking at the curious eyes of the platoon leader, Hu Fei ordered the truck to be parked in the yard with a blank expression. What does chopping firewood mean is also my freedom? Am I a prodigal son like this? Hu Fei knew that this was Wei Lihuang's response to his attitude that day, but he was not in the mood to explain too much to the platoon leader of the car.
There is basically no need for too many creativity in the transformation of trucks. The problem of removing the wooden car panel and replacing it with bulletproof steel plates is solved. Of course, considering the bearing capacity of the truck engine and tires, the armored steel plate cannot be too thick. Installing the five-mm thick steel plate at the truck baffle position is basically within an acceptable range.
If the protective steel plate is solved, we have to consider the weapon system. If the truck is converted into a combat vehicle, installing a direct-firing cannon on the front of the car is obviously the best choice. However, considering the number of artillery guns in the domestic army currently has, Hu Fei still gave up this unrealistic idea.
It is better to hand it over to the front-line troops if you have that extra cannon to load it into the truck. I believe that any battalion or regiment will make it shine on the battlefield, which is much more effective than it can be installed on an armored truck.
