It's not even just the driver's problem. The front of Maoxiong's half-track car has no armor at all, and a bullet can penetrate the engine at the front of the car, making him unable to drive or even catching fire.

In addition, the rear cargo area is still made of wood, and there is no protection for soldiers.

But this does not seem to be surprising at all, because Mao Xiong uses it to transport supplies, and the transportation of supplies is at the rear, of course, there is no need to consider armor protection.

Wang Xuexin walked around the half-tracked vehicle, and then replied casually: "We use it to fight, Comrade Alexei!"

Alexei's eyes immediately widened as big as copper bells, and then he said nervously: "No, no, they didn't tell me this. Listen to me, Comrade Battalion Commander, I'm just a maintenance soldier, I didn't Combat experience, besides, this kind of vehicle is not suitable for combat, it is simply a target in front of the enemy..."

"I know, Comrade Alexei!" Wang Xuexin interrupted him and asked, "Can you give me the data of this car?"

Alexey's head seemed to be crashed, he was stunned for a while before he realized it, and returned with an "oh" sound. A half-track car dug out a dirty document from the cab and handed it to Wang Xue Novice...

Wang Xuexin couldn't imagine that for such a serious matter as a cross-border transaction, the data provided by Mao Xiong was found in a corner of the cab, and it was still incomplete.

Maybe, this is the style of Mao Bear!

Wang Xuexin took a look. The payload is 2.5 tons, the road speed is 40 km/h, the field or snow speed is 8 to 20 km/h, and the action radius is 200 km.

The last piece of data, Wang Xuexin, asked what Alexey meant, because he was a little curious, how can a car have a radius of action, can it be driven with gasoline?

Alexey pulled out the medium-sized wrench pinned to his waist and shook it, saying, "It's the upper limit of its maintenance. After driving 200 kilometers, it needs a maintenance to ensure continued use!"

Wang Xuexin said "oh", and he can drive 200 kilometers at a time, which can fully meet the combat needs of the Eighth Route Army.

Because Yuncheng is [-] kilometers away from Wangxing and Wanxian airports in a straight line, and the road distance is nearly [-] kilometers. If the devils come in to fight, it means that most of the Eighth Route Army's mechanized troops will travel within [-] kilometers.

This is a coincidence, and it also shows that this half-track vehicle is very suitable for the defense of Yuncheng.

It was only later that Wang Xuexin found out that the "maintenance" that Alexei referred to was a major overhaul, and they directly ignored the faults that could be moved within two hundred kilometers.

"The load is 2.5 tons!" This is what Wang Xuexin values ​​most.

Because this means that the armor protection that can be installed on this car.

Wang Xuexin pointed to the half-track car while looking at it and said, "Lower the cab, remove the front and rear partitions..."

There is a reason why Wang Xuexin made such a change.

Mao Xiong's car is simple and rough, the cab is a cuboid with no lines at all, plus most of Mao Xiong's people are tall and burly, because the cab is usually a head taller than the Chinese people.

This space is completely unnecessary for Huaxia drivers, and it will make the car body too high and easy to be spotted by the enemy.

As for the partition between the cockpit and the rear cabin... this will only hinder the communication and coordination of the soldiers during the battle, and at the same time reduce the usable space.

Then Wang Xuexin said: "Then, add semi-closed steel plates around the car as protection, including the engine, is it okay?"

Alexei nodded simply: "Of course, Comrade Battalion Commander!"

This modification is indeed very simple, as long as a few welders can complete it.

"In addition..." Wang Xuexin added: "Add steel plate protection to the windshield of the cab. It can be put down to observe through the observation hole during combat, and it can be propped up at ordinary times. Can it be done?"

Alexei looked at Wang Xuexin with surprise.

He has been doing maintenance for many years, and has always been in the army to maintain various military equipment, so he is very familiar with the uses of various modifications.

Although these modifications proposed by Wang Xuexin are inconspicuous and easy to do... But it is precisely one of the bright spots that they are easy to do, because it simply changes an unprotected half-track car into a An armored car.

There was some truth in it that only Alexei could understand.

For example, why is it a semi-enclosed armor instead of a fully enclosed one?

If you are a rookie, the first thing you think of should be fully enclosed.

Fully enclosed armored vehicle, which can prevent bullets from the side and blows from the air, so exciting!

But can a blow from the air really be prevented?is it necessary?

Air strikes were either direct hits by shells or strafed by enemy aircraft.

Either way, the half-track armored vehicle is sure to die.

Therefore, there is not much difference between having the armor on the head and not having it.

On the contrary, its negative impact is great.

For example, whether the weight can bear it, or whether it will restrict soldiers to fight...

This is especially the latter.

Fully enclosed armor means that soldiers can only get out of the car through the rear opening, which is very dangerous in battle, and it is easy to be blocked by enemy firepower, and the speed of deploying troops is not fast enough.

With semi-enclosed armor, soldiers can jump out of the vehicle from their own position at any time and deploy it to enter the combat state.

As the saying goes, "a layman watches the excitement, an insider watches the way".

Alexey is an expert, and when he heard Wang Xuexin's modification plan, he agreed with it [-] points in his heart.

"Yes, Comrade Battalion Commander!" Alexei replied: "We should have changed it like this a long time ago!"

"What do you mean?" Wang Xuexin was a little strange when he heard this: "Can't you change it?"

Alexei shrugged helplessly: "I'm just a second lieutenant, Comrade Battalion Commander, how could they consider what we think?"

So Wang Xuexin understood that the bureaucracy in Mao Xiong's army was very serious at this time, and the superiors didn't care about the soldiers' appearance and needs at all. Protect soldiers.

Therefore, Mao Xiong's superiors would not approve of Wang Xuexin's practice of adding protection to the car, and they might even think it was a manifestation of greed for life and fear of death.

They will say: If the weight of these additional protective armors is used to load soldiers and supplies, do you know how much more they can hold?These extra supplies are the foundation of our army's victory!The soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles with the enemy, but you are thinking about how to protect yourself!

Wang Xuexin looked at the helplessness in Alexei's eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "We are different, Comrade Alexei, you can show your talents to your heart's content!"

Alexei opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything in the end.

Perhaps, he is thinking about whether it is worthwhile to "show talent" for Huaxia!
