Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 419 Tank Competition!

Damn it?

Is Old Sun so stubborn?

So confident?

As long as we drive our own cars, we can crush the Japanese Type 95 tanks. If we can't do that, then we shouldn't be the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, right?

How could Yu Ye allow this to happen?

"Captain Sun, if that's the case, then you can drive the Japanese Type 95 tank."

what?

When Yu Ye said this, everyone in the audience almost laughed like crazy.

"As long as you can drive the Japanese Type 95 tank to crush our own tank test vehicle, I will still keep my promise and make you our first tank driver. And I will always ensure that you are the first to drive our latest tank!"

Yu Ye said.

Sun Desheng was shocked by Minister Yu's unexpected decision and almost sprained his waist on the spot.

After hesitating for a while, Sun Desheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll drive the Japanese Type 95 tank!"

The personnel were selected quickly. Since Sun Desheng was a good driver of both tanks, he was replaced in turn. The fifteen soldiers with the best performance in the cavalry battalion were selected.

Five tanks were lined up in a row, with two of our test vehicles sandwiched between the three small Japanese tanks. This was to allow for the most thorough competition.

After everyone was in place, Yu Ye pulled out the pistol from Li Yunlong's waist and fired a signal on the spot.

Almost at the same time, five tanks representing the highest level of vehicle manufacturing in East Asia at that time were ignited and started at the same time, making roars one after another.

It can be clearly heard that the engine sounds of the two test vehicles designed by Yu Ye directly drowned out the sound of the three Type 95 tanks of the Japanese.

The tracks of the test vehicle raised a cloud of dust. When running at full speed, the dust was more than one person high, which shows its extremely abundant power.

The two mechanics of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were shocked. They had already overestimated the two test vehicles built by the Independent Regiment, but the actual results still exceeded their expectations.

After spending some time manually testing the Japanese Type 105 tank, it can be said that they are familiar with all the data of this tank, even the size of each rivet. They both clearly know that the horsepower of the Japanese Type 5 tank is around horsepower, but looking at the condition of the test vehicle just now, it is at least times the horsepower of the Japanese Type tank, and no less.

After seeing this scene, the two mechanics looked at each other and saw the undisguised shock in each other's eyes, as well as a bit of horror and a bit of suspicion.

The horsepower level of this test vehicle has reached the most advanced level in Europe and the United States at that time.

The question is, was the engine of this test vehicle really made by the Eighth Route Army’s Liaoyuan Arsenal in this mountain valley?

It's really shocking.

Thinking of this question, the two of them couldn't help but turn their eyes to Yu Ye, who was in the crowd shouting with the soldiers of the Independent Regiment's Cavalry Battalion to refuel his test vehicle. The same thought came to their minds at the same time: Is this man so scary?

They both wanted to verify it, but the most important thing now was to observe the competition in speed and off-road performance between China's domestically-made tanks and the Japanese Type 95 tanks.

According to the competition system communicated in advance, the total distance is 10 kilometers, which means that the one-way distance is 5 kilometers. This 10-kilometer journey is not easy, as it almost covers all the terrains that may be encountered during the current operations in Jin.

Dirt roads, riverbanks, thorn bushes...

All possible terrains that may be encountered in combat are included in the designed route. This is a comprehensive competition between two different tanks.

From the start, the tank designed by Liaoyuan Arsenal immediately took off into the distance and performed well on the straight road.

This scene once again gave the two Shanxi-Suiyuan Army mechanics a great shock. You know, the Japanese Type 5.7 tank is a light tank, weighing only tons.

Although we don't know the exact weight of the two tanks designed by Liaoyuan Arsenal, it seems that they are at least no less than 30 tons.

A Japanese Type 95 light tank, which is known for its speed, is actually not as fast as a medium tank that meets international standards on a straight road. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, no one would believe it if you told them about it.

This performance, at least on the battlefield in China, is terrifying enough!

As the five tanks disappeared from everyone's sight, Yu Ye and Li Yunlong, together with a group of soldiers from the cavalry battalion, ran towards a nearby hill. They wanted to witness this extremely fierce chase battle on the top of the hill.

He walked through the thorns, waded across the riverbed, and crushed all the bumpy ground, without ever stopping.

Dong Fu was driving the test vehicle of the Liaoyuan Arsenal. From the very beginning, he was several body lengths ahead of the three Japanese vehicles. Even after passing through several complicated road conditions, Dong Fu's car was always ahead of the Japanese Type 95 tanks and never fell behind.

Driving the experimental tank of the Liaoyuan Arsenal, with the accelerator pressed to the lowest position and the speed at the limit, Dong Fu felt more and more happy.

These days, Dong Fu could only train in the test field while driving the test car, which made him feel like he was trapped in a cage. Today, he had the opportunity to do whatever he wanted.

It is an indescribable pleasure to drive a tank made by the Chinese people and run freely on Chinese land.

Sun Desheng was driving the Japanese Type 95 tank and chasing desperately from behind. He was already chasing the second-ranked test vehicle. In various sections where he was supposed to slow down, Sun Desheng relied on his skilled driving skills to force his way through at the fastest speed.

Apart from Dong Fu's first place ranking far ahead of the other cars, Sun Desheng and the second place test car were the closest. The other two little Japanese cars were so far away that no one knew how far they were thrown.

Sun Desheng understood what Minister Yu meant. It was not his purpose to see who would win or lose between the test vehicle and the Japanese Type 95 tank. He understood that Minister Yu hoped that he could drive the Japanese Type 95 tank to push the performance limits of the Liaoyuan Arsenal test vehicle, so as to find a better improvement plan.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Sun Desheng was determined to participate in this competition with all his strength.

The distance is ten kilometers and the off-road route covers all kinds of terrain. It takes a long time for people to walk, but the tanks pushed forward all the way without any obstacles.

To walk through dangerous terrain as if it were an easy terrain is called "Tan", and to destroy the enemy's front is called "Ke".

This is how true armored firepower is applied.

However, in just over twenty minutes, five tanks had arrived.
