Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

With doubts, Wei Xiaobao took the drawing from the assembly worker and took a look. It turned out to be the drawing of the Type 58 medium tank, which was stillborn. This was an imitation of the Russian T-34 tank, but later the Type 59 tank was launched and this model was rolled off the production line before it was even put into production.

Wei Xiaobao took a closer look at the Type 58 medium tank, which has a 500-horsepower engine, an 85mm gun, a 60-round ammunition capacity, and a top speed of 55 kilometers per hour.

The original armor thickness of 90 mm on the front and 75 mm on the sides were all changed to 45 mm by Qiu Daoji. The weight of the medium tank became that of a light tank. However, with a thickness of 45 mm, it was no problem to deal with the iron balls of the Red Cannon.

It has to be said that the workers did not copy it completely, but borrowed some ideas.

Looking at the machine gun above, there is actually a Maxim heavy machine gun, awesome!

"Brother Qiu, do you have any tanks that have been assembled and can be used directly?" Wei Xiaobao asked expectantly.

Brother Qiu smiled and replied, "Yes, I have already assembled one. What? Commander, do you want to try driving a tank?"

Wei Xiaobao scratched his head embarrassedly. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary college student who had just passed the driving test. He was also a novice driver who needed "a lot of care" from passers-by when driving on the road.

However, as a veteran military fan, being able to drive a big thing like a tank myself is a dream!

Just thinking about it makes Wei Xiaobao feel extremely excited and stimulated!

"It's very dangerous to start a tank." Qiu Dao said.

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he thought to himself, since he was thick-skinned and brave, what was there to be afraid of? So, he could not suppress his excitement and shouted loudly:

"What are you afraid of? How can such a heavy piece of iron be turned over? Let's go! I want to drive a tank!"

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the military factory's training ground specifically used for training and testing.

Looking around, you can see all kinds of vehicles parked neatly on the wide field, including common jeeps, tractors responsible for towing heavy objects, and mighty wheeled armored vehicles. Of course, the most eye-catching one is the tank parked alone on the side.

Wei Xiaobao couldn't wait to get into the tank's cabin. After some observation, he found that this tank actually required four crew members to operate together in order to operate normally.

These include a commander who is in charge of the overall situation, a driver who is responsible for driving the tank, a gunner who operates the gun to aim at the target, and a loader who is responsible for quickly loading shells.

Wei Xiaobao jumped up nimbly and sat steadily in the spacious driver's seat.

Almost at the same moment, Qiu Daoji nimbly got into the car as nimbly as a cat and sat down on the gunner's seat.

Their eyes met and they both smiled knowingly.

"Haha, it's really great! Look inside the cab, the various instrument panels are dazzling, the periscope is clear and transparent, and the operating lever is simply so exquisitely designed! Today's craftsmanship is getting more and more advanced!" Wei Xiaobao exclaimed excitedly, with curiosity and surprise flashing in his eyes.

Qiu Daoji smiled modestly and quickly responded, "You are too kind, Commander-in-Chief. We just copied the drawings in the library and then worked out the result after countless repeated experiments."

"Oh my, it's amazing that you can do this, you are really awesome!" Wei Xiaobao praised Qiu Daoji without reservation.

At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and began to grope under the steering column for the ignition switch.

However, he searched left and right but still couldn't find the target.

At this time, Qiu Daoji hurriedly reminded: "Commander-in-chief, the ignition switch is here, just press the red button."

As he spoke, he pointed to a conspicuous red button on the console.

"Oh, I see. I've never driven a tank before. You better sit tight..."

Before Wei Xiaobao finished speaking, he suddenly stepped on the clutch with his left foot and then pressed the red button without hesitation.

In an instant, there was a deafening roar, and the engine woke up with a roar like an enraged beast.

At the same time, Wei Xiaobao's right foot stepped on the gas, and his hands pulled upwards unconsciously due to nervousness.

Unexpectedly, the tank, which was originally parked quietly, suddenly rushed forward rapidly like a wild horse, and even drew a big arc when turning right.

The sudden acceleration and turn made Qiu Daoji, who was caught off guard, dizzy. His body tilted violently to the left and he almost fell to the ground from the gunner's position.

He hurriedly shouted to Wei Xiaobao: "Pay attention! The handle on the left is responsible for controlling the direction, and the handle on the right is used to control forward and backward. Be sure to remember it clearly!"

"Oh, brother, why didn't you tell me earlier! That incident almost broke your waist!" Wei Xiaobao yelled with a complaining look on his face.

Qiu Daoji couldn't help but roll his eyes, muttering to himself: This guy can't drive but he insists on showing off. He really doesn't know how dangerous it is to drive without a license!

After a while, Wei Xiaobao gradually adapted to the operation of the tank, and his movements began to become smooth and natural.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao suddenly asked curiously: "Brother Qiu, can you fire a cannon?"

Qiu Daoji nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course!"

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he immediately became interested and excitedly suggested: "Then let's fire a cannon and listen to the sound!"

Qiu Daoji quickly reminded him: "Then you have to drive the car steadily. I have to go to the artillery position to load the shells now."

"No problem, leave it to me. My driving skills are absolutely top-notch, so you can rest assured!" Wei Xiaobao patted his chest and assured confidently.

However, Qiu Daoji secretly complained in his heart: If I can be at ease, then damn it!

Although he agreed verbally, he stepped back cautiously, using his sense of touch to find the bombing position.

However, even so, he did not dare to relax at all. He glanced at Wei Xiaobao's driving movements from time to time, while observing the situation outside through the periscope.

Coming to the magazine, Qiu Daoji skillfully took out a heavy shell from it, then loaded it steadily into the compartment behind the gun and tightened the bolt with force.

After completing these operations, he quickly moved to the gunner's position.

Then, Qiu Daoji shouted to Wei Xiaobao: "Commander-in-chief, turn left, I want to aim at that target mountain and fire!"
