Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 32 What will happen to Li Yunlong when he has an SS skeleton master?

After seeing the Citroen truck, Li Yunlong hurried over. The scene looked like someone was trying to compete with him to practice.

 His behavior reminded Huang He of the time when he was taking the second subject exam in his previous life.

Li Yunlong opened the door of the cab, sat on it, and shouted to Huang He: "Old Huang, come quickly, let's set off."

Huang He walked over calmly, looked at Li Yunlong who was excited in the driver's seat and said, "Can you drive? Get off! I'm the protagonist!"

After waiting to exchange places with Li Yunlong, Huang He inserted the key and turned it on to light the fire.

 The diesel engine buzzed, and then the car body began to shake violently.

Even though this was not the first time Li Yunlong saw this scene, he was still amazed.

 Huang He stepped on the clutch and brake, and shifted into first gear. Then lift the foot that is on the brake, put down the handbrake, and slowly lift the foot that is on the clutch.

 After a series of operations were completed, the truck began to drive forward slowly.

While driving, Huang He explained technical points to Li Yunlong, while Li Yunlong turned sideways and looked down at Huang He's feet and hands.

 After a while, at the urging of Li Yunlong.

Huang He parked the car in a place with a wide view, got out of the car and moved to the passenger seat.

As a novice driver, Li Yunlong obviously remembered the key points just given to him, and successfully got started after experiencing a stall.

Experiencing this kind of speeding feeling for the first time, Li Yunlong obviously got a head start.

 He stepped on the accelerator sharply, and as the engine roared, the car's speed increased significantly.

 Huang He quickly put on his seat belt and said to the playful Li Yunlong:

“Alas, don’t go too far. This is a dirt road, not a highway. If there is a big hole, we will be killed.”

Li Yunlong pretended to be calm. The soaring adrenaline made him a little nervous, but his mouth was still so tough.

"I know, Lao Huang, you are too timid. Where are you?"

While changing gears, Li Yunlong, who was not yet skilled, mistakenly pressed the clutch instead of the brake.

With a sudden brake, he, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown directly onto the steering wheel by the inertia. Although his head was not broken, a big bump was knocked out.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, what did I say, please don’t go too far!”

"As your driving instructor, I'm going to give you the last lesson now. You must wear your seat belt when driving and riding in a car. Don't drink and don't drive. Don't drink when driving."

“At this moment, Makarov, who was still fighting in the ice and snow, suddenly felt excited.

His intuition told him that someone was watching him! Thinking of the nightmarish white killer, he shouted: Sniper! hidden! "

On the way back, Huang He was driving the car. He was not sure about Li Yunlong's driving skills, so the two of them came to his office together after returning to the logistics department.

Recalling the experience just now, Li Yunlong asked Huang He a question: "Old Huang, what is motorization and mechanization? Can I be said to be mechanized when I drive a truck to transport troops?"

“Hey, I didn’t expect you to be more and more easy to learn now. Let me tell you what the difference is.”

“Motorization and mechanization are two levels of modern military construction and development. As you know, the development of the army is inseparable from weapons and equipment, which all have a hierarchical concept.”

“Our troops are working towards the stage of mules and horses, followed by 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. In other words, during war, all materials and soldiers can be transported by vehicles.”

“To sum it up in one sentence, drive in by car and fight by getting off the car. Traveling does not rely on feet, and fighting does not rely on swords.”

Li Yunlong was listening and thinking. When he saw Huang He stopped, he said, "Then I understand. Part of the army of the Japs can be motorized, right? I thought they had to have motorcycles. That's what the name means."

“Motorization is a transitional formation adopted by economically underdeveloped countries, and our ultimate goal is a mechanized force.”

“This is a highly professional force that not only requires strong financial resources and equipment research and development capabilities, but also has to keep up with the basic quality of its soldiers.”

“Let me give you an example, if I give you the equipment of an SS skeleton division now, guess what will happen to you?”

Hearing another new word, Li Yunlong, who paid little 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, Captain Li seemed to have obtained the equipment of this skeleton division, and he said something high-spirited.

 “With this equipment! I dare to attack Taiyuan!”

 Lao Li's answer was as expected by Huang He.

  However, let’s analyze this hypothesis seriously from a military perspective.

If he really got these equipment, Li Yunlong should be thinking about how to save his life.

 If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster! His fate will most likely be to be dismissed from his post and shot. First of all, Li Yunlong does not have the experience and ability to command a synthetic army.

 From joining the army until now, he has been an infantry officer and only has some experience in commanding light artillery.

　　Not even basic contact with other branches of the military.

Hands our most powerful offensive force, but due to poor command and use, the battle is fought to pieces, and the final outcome is unpredictable.

 Secondly, Lao Li did not have an effective staff organization.

 The tedious work of unit supply, command communications, firepower planning, route arrangement, etc. cannot be done by just one commander.

 The first person to forget to build 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 have not received any staff training, cannot handle the task at all.

Given him the equipment of the SS Skeleton Division, Li Yunlong's brigade-level command alone would be the ultimate command, and the only result would be stretched hips.

 Again, 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 unreliable.

 A cup of tea, a pack of cigarettes, and a day of repairing a Tiger is no joke.

 In the terrain and roads like Jin 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.

Only a fool would go head-to-head with such a unit when it appeared on the battlefield in Jin Province. It would all depend on whether the Japanese plane exploded or not.

The SS Skeleton Division only has one anti-aircraft artillery battalion. If there is no air superiority, it is completely useless.

 If you don’t have confidence in your own air force, 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 can do in your life is to hang out in the motorized army.”

  Huanghe’s analysis is like a basin of cold water poured on Li Yunlong.

"I'll tell you the truth, after I get the light weapons done in a while, I'll have to deal with artillery. Even rocket launchers are in my plan, and 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 rags were 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 incident 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 is just a hypothesis, so let’s not discuss issues such as fuel and logistics.

　　　It’s enough for everyone to know the names mentioned in this chapter. Don't discuss it too obviously, I'm afraid the book will be gone.

Regarding Lao Li’s future, my introduction to the first edition was very clear, Tiger of Malay.
