Chapter 265: Three-wheeled Vehicle Conference
Baotou, Armored Division, Headquarters.
"Report to the division commander, Li Yunlong is here."
Hearing the guard's voice, the domineering man raised his head and looked at Li Yunlong standing at the door: "Come and sit down!"
"Reporting to the deputy commander, Li Yunlong has been ordered to report here!"
Li Yunlong walked into the room and saluted with a serious face.
"Haha, you, Li Yunlong, are not a serious person!"
The domineering man smiled and corrected: "Also, don't call me deputy commander-in-chief. I am now the commander of the armored division."
"Yes, Commander Shi!"
Li Yunlong saluted again.
"Okay, sit down!"
The domineering man took a form from the table and said, "This is the preliminary organization of the motorized infantry brigade given to you by the division headquarters. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."
"Yes."
Li Yunlong took the form and looked at it carefully.
"The 1st Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armored Division has an armored regiment under its command, consisting of ten Taihang Type 1 light tanks."
"Thirty Taihang Type 1 armored vehicles and twenty tank destroyer armored vehicles."
"It consists of ten self-propelled Type 82 mortar armored vehicles (with a Taihang Type mortar)."
"A motorcycle regiment consists of 144 sidecars, three-wheeled motorcycles, human-powered tricycles, and Taihang Type light trucks."
"One artillery regiment, consisting of ten multiple rocket launcher armored vehicles and six Taihang Type 75 mm mountain guns."
"Two Taihang Type 122 mm howitzers and thirty Taihang Type light trucks."
"An anti-aircraft artillery battalion: composed of twelve Taihang Type 1 short-range anti-aircraft guns and five Taihang Type 1 long-range anti-aircraft guns."
"A logistics regiment, consisting of 288 Taihang Type light trucks."
"Individual weapons: Taihang Type 60 rocket launcher, Taihang Type light machine gun, Taihang Type semi-automatic rifle, Taihang Type mortar."
"My God, isn't the equipment of the division commander's motorized infantry brigade a little too good?"
Li Yunlong's hands were shaking a little as he held the form. He would never have dared to think about having such weapons and equipment before!
"This is just a preliminary compilation that we discussed. We can discuss the details later."
The domineering man smiled and said, "But I can guarantee that the future organization will only be better than it is now."
"Your motorized infantry brigade's mission is to help the armored division stabilize the front and ensure the logistics line."
"If your attack and defense capabilities are too weak, then what's the point of us forming you?"
"makes sense!"
Li Yunlong nodded and said excitedly: "With these equipment, I am not afraid of any number of Japanese invaders."
"Hahaha...."
The domineering man smiled, opened the drawer and took out a letter of appointment.
"Now, on behalf of the Central Committee, I formally appoint Li Yunlong as the commander of the 1st Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armored Division."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Li Yunlong took the appointment letter and saluted solemnly.
..............
On April 1941, , Li Yunlong arrived at the Red Flag Factory in an assault vehicle.
"Li Yunlong!!"
Zhao Tianyang was standing at the factory gate. He thought it was the domineering man who came in person, but he didn't expect it was Li Yunlong.
"Hey, brother Tianyang!"
Li Yunlong jumped out of the car excitedly and hugged Zhao Tianyang: "Long time no see, I didn't expect that I would be here today!"
"I didn't expect it!"
Zhao Tianyang nodded: "I heard that you were transferred to Baotou? And you got married?"
“Haha, that’s right!!”
Li Yunlong put his hands on his hips and said, "How did you say that? Get promoted, get rich, and get married!"
"I don't want to get rich, but I'm now a brigade commander, and I'm married to a gentle and virtuous girl from Shanxi... Wow, don't even mention that pretty face~"
"Okay, okay."
Zhao Tianyang couldn't stand Li Yunlong's smugness and straightened his clothes.
"Ahem, how do you know that I'm the dual minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Military Industry?"
Li Yunlong: "What?"
"From now on, you have to call me Minister Zhao, okay?"
Zhao Tianyang glanced at Li Yunlong and said, "I don't even want to talk about your brigade commander. Is he as high-ranking as a minister like me?"
Hearing this, Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Tianyang with a frown on his face, and suddenly said, "I have a wife!"
"I'm the Minister!"
"I have a wife!"
"I....."
"Minister, the workers are watching!"
Suddenly, Li Yuncai pulled Zhao Tianyang unnoticeably.
Hearing this, Zhao Tianyang looked up and saw more than a dozen workers standing not far away, watching the excitement.
"Ahem.....Okay, Lao Li, come with me to check out the car!"
Zhao Tianyang grabbed Li Yunlong and walked towards the Hongqi Factory.
"Minister, Brigade Commander Li."
In the training ground, Jiang Zeming greeted Zhao Tianyang and Li Yunlong.
"let's start!"
Zhao Tianyang said calmly.
"it is good."
Jiang Zeming waved his hand, and three workers drove over in a human-powered tricycle, a sidecar, and a three-wheeled motorcycle. "A human-powered tricycle is three meters long, 1.2 meters wide, and can carry 500 kilograms. Generally speaking, there is no place it cannot go."
Zhao Tianyang pointed at the three vehicles in front of him and introduced them one by one: "Three-wheeled motorcycles, 223 cm long, 159 cm wide, and 100 cm high."
"The engine is a two-cylinder, four-stroke, horizontally opposed, air-cooled engine with 50 horsepower and can carry three people."
"Speed: 90 kilometers per hour, range: 400 kilometers."
"It can also carry a Taihang Type 750 general-purpose machine gun." Brought in Changjiang 3.5 "Three-wheeled motorcycle: meters long."
"Width: 1.5 meters."
"Height: 1.6 meters."
"Engine: Two-cylinder four-stroke horizontally opposed air-cooled engine, 50 horsepower."
"Speed: 90 kilometers per hour."
"Cruise range: 300 kilometers."
"Load capacity: 800 kg." The Changjiang 750 moto-three-wheeled motorcycle was brought in. "How about these three vehicles? I carefully prepared them for the motorized infantry brigade."
"They have a simple structure, are easy to maintain, and most importantly, have high passability. As long as there is a path that people can walk on, they can pass through."
"We are not fighting guerrilla warfare in Shanxi."
Li Yunlong stroked his chin and walked around the three vehicles twice: "They look quite reliable, but I wonder how they work in practice?"
"Don't worry, it's okay!"
Zhao Tianyang patted his chest and said, "Well, take it back and try it first. If it doesn't work, return it to me."
"Fine!"
Li Yunlong got on the sidecar and asked, "Do these cars have names?"
"Forehead...."
Zhao Tianyang thought for a moment and said, "They are all made in the Hongqi Factory, so let's call them Hongqi!"
"Row."
Li Yunlong nodded nonchalantly.
Then Li Yunlong asked the guards he brought with him to drive one car each and prepare to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Zhao Tianyang called Li Yunlong, took out a Taihang Type 1 semi-automatic pistol from his arms and handed it to Li Yunlong.
"This pistol was prepared for myself. All the parts are of the best quality. Now I'm giving it to you as a wedding gift."
"Thank you!"
Li Yunlong took the pistol with a look of joy and fiddled with it for a while: "I've seen this gun from the brigade commander. It's really a good gun!"
"Haha, this gun could have been given to you."
Zhao Tianyang explained with a smile: "As a result, many Kuomintang generals wanted to buy them, so we sold some to them."
"In the end, the troops in northwestern Shanxi were not sent out."
After Li Yunlong left Zhao Tianyang and returned to Baotou, he went to the logistics department of the armored division.
After receiving four Type 1 Taihang light tanks and various armored vehicles, they began small-scale training.
