Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

Chapter 123 Preparing to March into the Prairie

Listened to Mao Wenlong's analysis.

Li Yunlong suddenly understood: "Oh, so that's how it is! I thought the Russians didn't want to make money! It turns out they don't want to offend the Japanese, so as not to add other variables to them.

So when we proposed to buy a gun production line, you directly suggested that we buy a tractor production line, is it because of these reasons?"

Mao Wenlong: "Yes! The Russians and Germans are killing like crazy. At this time, they don't even have enough weapons and ammunition. How could they sell the production line to you?

The tractor production line is different. To them, it is just a civilian item. If it can be exchanged for money, they will definitely be willing to sell it.

Once we have a tractor production line, we can organize our own people to research and modify it, and then we can start making simple tanks..."

Li Yunlong: "Brother Wenlong has broad knowledge and sees things clearly. I, Old Li, don't have your ability, so I can only admire you!

By the way, my superiors asked me to ask you if you can support us with another batch of war horses? In addition, I hope you can occupy the Mongolian grasslands as soon as possible.

I know this is a bit too much to ask. In the middle of winter, there is ice and snow everywhere, especially outside the Great Wall. The snow is so thick that even the war horses can't run!

Sending you out to fight at this time will definitely result in a lot of non-combat casualties. Therefore, the superiors said that the battle over there will be mainly based on the Independent Regiment, Ding Wei's New First Regiment and Kong Erlangzi's New Second Regiment.

The main force of three regiments is enough to deal with the enemies on the Mongolian grassland. But after occupying the grassland, I have to trouble Brother Wenlong to go there in person..."

After listening to Li Yunlong's words.

Mao Wenlong felt very comfortable.

Because of Li Yunlong’s superior.

Take all aspects into consideration.

There was nothing that made Mao Wenlong feel embarrassed.

As for supporting them with a batch of war horses first, that is absolutely no problem.

I can just deduct it from the share later...

Mao Wenlong: "Since you have all thought it through, I will definitely help you. But for the specific arrangements, let's ask Lao Ding, Lao Kong and the others to come over and discuss it together."

Li Yunlong: "Alright, come on, Brother Wenlong, have a drink..."

Mao Wenlong let Mao Chenglu take over.

Go back through the time and space portal to find Gong Xi Fa Cai, Ding Wei and Kong Jie and others coming over.

Discuss the specific battle plan.

After all, they are the main force in this battle.

It was Kong Jie and Ding Wei's three groups...

……

After Ding Wei and Kong Jie came over.

Li Yunlong told them what happened.

Know that we are preparing to march into the prairie.

Several people started thinking quickly...

Ding Wei: "Although this season is not suitable for war, it is still no problem to deal with the Mongols from the Ming Dynasty!"

Kong Jie tapped the pipe in his hand and said, "Hehe! It will definitely not be a problem! When the time comes, tanks, machine guns and cannons will come together. Who will have the courage to resist?"

Li Yunlong: "Who is worried about the war? The weapons and equipment of both sides are completely on a different level. Winning the battle is 100% certain.

Our main concern now is that the weather is too cold and there is thick snow everywhere on the ground, which makes it easy for people and horses to get frostbite, resulting in large-scale non-combat casualties!"

Ding Wei: "Well, this is indeed a big problem. The snow is too thick and it is difficult for the horses to walk! This means that we can't move fast and it will be difficult to transport ammunition and supplies!

And if we are not careful, the horses and soldiers will be frostbitten..."

Gong Xi Fa Cai: “The problems you mentioned do exist, but there is absolutely no need for us to worry.

Because we have tanks? We can just let the tanks clear the way! When the time comes, both the combat troops and the logistics troops will follow the path created by the tanks, and then there shouldn't be a big problem.

The faster we travel, the less food we can bring, and the more firewood and clothes we can bring for heating. That will solve all the problems. Brother Wenlong, do you think my idea will work?"

Mao Wenlong: "Great minds think alike. I think so too. We'll get more sleds and carriages and set off when we're ready.

We can bring the ammunition and supplies directly to the Mongolian steppes at once, saving the trouble of traveling back and forth!"

Li Yunlong: "Have those tank crews passed the training? If they are not trained and their driving skills are not up to standard, will there be problems if they are asked to travel such a long distance?"

Ding Wei: "I have been watching their training during this period, and a lot of new tankers have been added, but the newbies are not good enough yet.

However, the first batch of people trained should be able to complete this mission, but the number of people is a little small!"

When Mao Wenlong first proposed training tank drivers.

Neither Mao Wenlong nor Li Yunlong had any tanks.

Later, we managed to get a few cars and three-wheeled motorcycles over.

Let those reserve tankers.

Learn to drive a motorcycle and a car first.

After you have a tank, you can learn how to drive it.

The training conditions are so simple.

Also because there are a limited number of cars and not much fuel.

So the first ones to be trained were the reserve tank drivers.

In total, only more than 40 people were trained.

Half of them belong to the world of Bright Sword, and the other half are elite soldiers under Mao Wenlong...

After the Fengtian Arsenal Operation was completed.

With tanks and fuel, the tank drivers who had just touched the tanks immediately began to train intensively.

And each side selected another 300 people.

Let the "veterans" who have just started driving tanks train a dozen new recruits alone.

This is completely a case of forcing someone to do something.

——It is really a last resort!

Until now

Those new recruits only trained for a few days in total.

Still in the stage of observation and learning.

Therefore, novices are definitely not useful yet...

……

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He said excitedly: "This is a good idea! The specific time of the operation has not been determined yet, you should let the tankers train hard, and then we will also use tanks to lead the way..."

Mao Wenlong: "Okay, we'll just have a few days of emergency training, as long as we master the basic skills of moving the tank forward, backward, and turning.

As long as we don't run into a cluster of Japanese tanks, it will be enough to deal with their infantry. Let them drive the tanks in front and clear the way. That won't be a big problem."

Li Yunlong: "Okay, let's do it! By the way, Brother Wenlong, you haven't told me yet, how many war horses can you support us with?"
