Chapter 32 What Will Happen to Li Yunlong when He Has an SS Skeleton Division?
After seeing the Citroen truck, Li Yunlong ran over in a hurry. It looked like someone was trying to compete with him for practice.
His behavior reminded Huang He of the time when he took the second test in his previous life.
Li Yunlong opened the door of the cab and sat on it, shouting to Huang He: "Old Huang, come quickly, let's go."
Huang He walked over calmly, looked at the excited Li Yunlong in the driver's seat and said: "Can you drive? Get off! I'm the protagonist!"
After waiting to exchange positions with Li Yunlong, Huang He inserted the key and turned it to start the fire.
The diesel engine made a buzzing sound, and then the car body began to shake violently.
Even though it was not the first time Li Yunlong had seen this scene, he was still amazed.
Huang He stepped on the clutch and brake and shifted to the first gear. Then he lifted his foot on the brake, put down the handbrake, and slowly lifted his foot on the clutch.
After a series of operations, the truck began to move forward slowly.
During the driving process, Huang He explained the key points of the technology to Li Yunlong, while Li Yunlong looked down at Huang He's feet and hands.
After a while, at Li Yunlong's urging.
Huang He parked the car in a place with a wide view, got out of the car and moved to the co-pilot.
As a novice driver, Li Yunlong obviously remembered the key points he had just been told, and successfully got started after a flameout.
Experiencing this feeling of speeding for the first time, Li Yunlong was obviously overwhelmed.
He stepped on the accelerator hard, and with the roar of the engine, the speed of the car increased significantly.
Huang He quickly fastened his seat belt and said to Li Yunlong, who was in high spirits:
"Hey, don't play too much. This is a dirt road, not a highway. If there is a big pothole, we will be directly destroyed and killed."
Li Yunlong pretended to be calm. The soaring adrenaline made him a little nervous, but his mouth was still so hard.
"I know, Old Huang, you are too timid, you are just getting started."
When changing gears, the unskilled Li Yunlong mistakenly stepped on the clutch instead of the brake.
With a sudden brake, he was thrown onto the steering wheel by inertia without a seat belt. Although his head was not broken, it had a big bump.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what did I say? Don't play too much!"
"As your driving teacher, I am going to give you the last lesson now. You must wear a seat belt when driving or riding in a car. Don't drive after drinking."
"At this moment, Makarov, who was still fighting in the ice and snow, suddenly shuddered.
Intuition told him that someone was targeting him! Thinking of the nightmare white killer, he shouted: Sniper! Hide!"
On the way back, Huang He drove the car. He was still worried about Li Yunlong's driving skills. After returning to the logistics department, the two of them went to his office together.
Recalling the experience just now, Li Yunlong asked Huang He a question: "Old Huang, what is motorization and what is mechanization? Can I say that I am mechanizing when I drive a truck to transport troops?"
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be more and more studious now. Let me tell you what the difference is."
"Motorization and mechanization are two levels of modern military construction and development. You know, the development of the army is inseparable from weapons and equipment, which have a hierarchical concept."
"Our troops are working towards the stage of mule and horse, and the next is motorization, and at most mechanization."
Huang He took a sip of water and continued:
"Motorization does not mean that all soldiers ride motorcycles. It refers to a way of marching. That is to say, when fighting, all supplies and soldiers can be transported by vehicles. for transportation."
"To sum it up, drive in by car, get off to fight, travel without feet, fight without swords"
Li Yunlong listened and thought, and saw Huang He stopped and said, "Then I understand, the Japanese troops can be motorized, right? I thought they had to have motorcycles, this crappy name."
"Motorization is a transitional organization adopted by economically underdeveloped countries. Our ultimate goal is to mechanize troops."
"This is a highly professional force, which not only requires strong financial resources and equipment research and development capabilities, but also the basic quality of soldiers. "
"Let me give you an example. If I give you the equipment of an SS Skeleton Division now, guess what you will do?"
Heard a new word again, Li Yunlong, who didn't pay much attention to the European battlefield, was a little confused.
Fortunately, Huang He explained to him what an SS Skeleton Division would mean in the future, and what troops and equipment it would include.
Although it was just a casual chat, it seemed that Commander Li had already obtained the equipment of this Skeleton Division, and he said something in high spirits.
"With this equipment! I dare to attack Taiyuan!"
Lao Li's answer was within Huang He's expectations.
However, let's analyze this hypothesis seriously from a military perspective.
If he really got these equipment, Li Yunlong should think about how to save his life.
If virtue does not match the position, there will be disaster! His end is likely to be dismissed and shot.
First of all, Li Yunlong does not have the experience and ability to command a synthetic army.
From joining the army to now, he has been an infantry officer with only some experience in commanding light artillery.
He has no contact with other military arms.
He has the most powerful attack force in our hands, but because of poor command and use, the battle was broken, and the final outcome is predictable.
Secondly, Lao Li does not have an effective staff organization.
Cumbersome tasks such as troop supply, command communications, firepower planning, and route arrangements cannot be handled by just one commander.
When the time comes, the first person to forget to set up the pontoon bridge may be Li Yunlong.
"Huang xx: Are you polite?"
Li Yunlong alone, plus the company commanders and battalion commanders under his command who had not received any staff training, would not be able to handle the task at all.
The equipment of this SS Skeleton Division was given to him, and Li Yunlong's brigade-level command alone was the ultimate, and the only result would be stretched hips.
Thirdly, his soldiers will definitely not be able to effectively use this equipment.
Sandoku's equipment is notoriously expensive. These items are difficult to maintain and lack reliability.
A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a day of repairing a Tiger are no joke.
On the terrain and roads like Shanxi Province, it is estimated that less than 30% of this unit can run after a week of movement.
By then, Li Yunlong will also be the captain of the transportation brigade, and the Japanese will laugh out of their dreams.
Finally, this unit has no field air defense capabilities, which is a fatal flaw.
When such a unit appears on the battlefield in Jin Province, only a fool would go head-to-head. It will all depend on whether the Japanese plane explodes or not.
The SS Skeleton Division only has one anti-aircraft artillery battalion. If it doesn't have air superiority, it's all for nothing.
If you don't have confidence in your own air force, you will just fill up the field air defense.
Even on the battlefield of World War II, success could not be achieved by blindly fighting and commanding.
"Lao Li is neither an Aryan superman nor Feng in his name.
The results of his command of German weapon divisions can be referred to Zhang XX in "Red Sun". "
"If you, Li Yunlong, don't study, the most you will do in your life is hang out in the motorized army."
Huang He's analysis was like a basin of cold water poured on Li Yunlong.
"I'll tell you the truth, after I get the light weapons, I'll have to deal with artillery. Even rocket launchers are in my plan. I'm studying this myself."
There are a lot of new terms today, but as long as they are related to war, Lao Li will silently remember them in his heart.
"What is a rocket launcher? It sounds very powerful. How does it compare with the little devil's 92 infantry artillery?"
Huang He curled his lips in disdain. The Japanese's junk was not even worthy of carrying shoes for a rocket launcher.
"The Type 92 is a 28-year-old thing, and the rocket launcher was only developed by people from the north last year. Which one do you think is more powerful?"
Li Yunlong thought about the smokeless gunpowder thing last time, and he believed that Huang He had this ability.
"Old Huang, will this rocket launcher be used soon? Let's also overtake in a corner?"
Hearing the word "overtaking on a curve", Huang He couldn't hold himself tight.
"You're overthinking it. It's a high-end product. Now the conditions are simply not enough. I'm even embarrassed to ask people who are capable of research and development to come back early."
"Then you're talking nonsense, you think you can do it."
The two chatted for a while, and then the workshop director came to Li Yunlong to report on his work.
Before Director Li Da left, Huang He said to him seriously:
"Old Li, it's time for you to put your studies on the agenda. Your future should not be just an infantry commander. I believe you can do it."
"Study? Learn something." Li Yunlong, who had not yet finished speaking, saw that his fellow countryman was so serious. He hesitated and said, "Okay! I will give it a try."
An SS skeleton division itself is just a hypothesis, so let’s not discuss issues such as fuel and logistics.
Just everyone knows the names mentioned in this chapter. Don't discuss it too obviously, I'm afraid the book will be gone.
As for Lao Li's future, my introduction to the first edition was very clear, Tiger of Malay.
