    "I'm going to the front line. Do you have any questions?"

    "There are many problems, and they are serious! First of all, we don't have suitable transport vehicles to transport the self-propelled artillery, and I can't find enough fuel delivery vehicles, so now I really don't know how to transport our self-propelled artillery to the front line.  .¡±

    When Rebrov said this, Gao Yang¡¯s head got big, and he immediately said anxiously: ¡°Salim said he was looking for a tow truck, but it was never delivered?¡±

    ¡°It hasn¡¯t been delivered, and Salim said it¡¯s very likely that we won¡¯t be able to get the trailer we need!¡±

    Gao Yang was a little anxious. Without a cart, how could he transport these five self-propelled artillery pieces to the border?

    "Faq! I'll urge Salim again. If we really can't find a truck to transport our cannon, how about we drive the cannon directly over? Can you insist on going there?"

    Rebrov shook his head and said with a bitter look on his face: "Impossible, the motorcycle hours are not enough. If we drive directly over, all the self-propelled artillery will definitely break down halfway. The most troublesome thing is that we have no accessories! We can't even repair it.  Fa'er repair, driving it all the way for 300 kilometers, and maintaining it every 50 kilometers are two different things."

    Gao Yang was completely depressed.

    Basically all tanks and self-propelled artillery in the world are tracked. There are only a few models of wheeled self-propelled artillery. Tracked armored vehicles have better off-road performance and can run on most terrains. Wheeled armored vehicles also have certain advantages.  It has off-road capability, but it cannot be used off the road. It does not mean that it cannot drive off the road, but its off-road capability is much worse than that of a tracked vehicle.

    Tracked armored vehicles have good off-road performance and can roam freely in the wilderness during wars. However, they also have disadvantages, that is, long-distance transfers must be transported by vehicles instead of relying on their own traveling ability.

    Crawler-type armored vehicles are not suitable for driving on the road. It will cause damage to the road surface. The trouble is that long-distance driving will cause damage to the crawler tracks and road wheels. It is very enjoyable to run on the road, but when something goes wrong on the battlefield, it will cause trouble.  How can we fight that battle, so when fighting at long distances, equipment such as tanks and self-propelled artillery have to be pulled over by trailers.

    Another problem is that tanks and armored vehicles are all gas-hungry. They consume forty or fifty liters of diesel for one hour of driving. Tanks and self-propelled artillery are not designed to run on roads, although their maximum speed can reach fifty or sixty kilometers.  , but when driving off-road, the speed of thirty kilometers per hour makes people feel very fast. When running on the road, the fastest speed is thirty or forty kilometers per hour. You really have to run according to the design limit speed, etc.  After running for hundreds of kilometers, it's time for an overhaul. Both the engine and transmission system need to be overhauled.

    Another very important and troublesome issue is the motorcycle hours.

    The working hours of the engine are called motorcycle hours. Heavy vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles will be equipped with engine hour meters. After the engine has worked for a certain time, it must be overhauled.

    ??Modern tanks and armored vehicles need to be maintained after running for four or five motorcycle hours at least, and they only need to be inspected and maintained after running for ten motorcycle hours. Moreover, large parts such as engines and gearboxes need to be maintained.

    So if the self-propelled artillery is allowed to drive over by itself, Gao Yang and the others will have to prepare a lot of fuel, and they will definitely need to undergo major repairs after arriving at the place.

    During a war, self-propelled artillery is definitely more convenient and easier to use than towed artillery, and its survivability is also stronger. All combat systems are integrated into one vehicle. It is definitely good to hit and run, but when enjoying the convenience, you must also  There is a big price to pay, that is, more energy and cost must be spent on maintenance. Therefore, although self-propelled artillery is much easier to use than towed artillery, it is impossible to completely replace towed artillery.

    Now Gao Yang and the others are facing such a problem. They have self-propelled artillery, but no transport vehicles. There is a lack of oil tankers to supply fuel to the self-propelled artillery. There is also no special ammunition supply vehicle. It is impossible to operate with five self-propelled artillery.  Just look for a gas truck when you go out for dozens of kilometers.

    What¡¯s more, after leaving several major cities in Yemen, there are no gas stations at all.

    Gao Yang looked at Masiev and said loudly: "How many hours can our self-propelled artillery operate without any problems?"

    Masiev wiped the black oil on his hands, thought for a moment, and whispered: "It should be no problem for all five self-propelled guns to run for three motorcycle hours, but two of them need to replace parts.  But we don¡¯t have the accessories, so we can only keep using it. When the time comes, we can¡¯t guarantee whether it can be repaired and continue to operate.¡±

    There are five self-propelled artillery pieces. We can¡¯t throw them away and then drag the towed cannon to the front line. Gao Yang¡¯s envisioned fighting method, the towed cannonIt is difficult to sustain it, mainly because it cannot achieve combat effects while ensuring safety, so self-propelled artillery still has to be used.

    Gao Yang said with some annoyance: "Why didn't you tell me earlier about the lack of accessories? You didn't tell me until now."

    Masiev was a little uneasy and said nervously: "I thought it was useless because there are no spare parts in the whole of Yemen. These guns lack maintenance. There are many items that require maintenance in five motorcycle hours. Here are ten  It takes several or even twenty motorcycle hours for maintenance to be carried out, and once certain parts need to be replaced, you have to wait a long time.¡±

    Rebrov was also very annoyed and said: "Masiev has been here for too long. He is used to living a tinkering life. I just learned the specific situation, but Masiev is indeed very powerful.  , without him, our self-propelled artillery would have been damaged."

    Gao Yang was very helpless. What happened here is actually very common. In places like Africa and Yemen, many high-end things are simply worn out because no one knows that there is such a thing as maintenance.

    "I don't blame you for this situation, but remember, you must tell me in advance what accessories and maintenance you need in the future. I will give you whatever you need, but how will we know if you don't tell us."

    Gao Yang did not get angry, but Masiev still said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, I understand, this situation will not happen next time."

    Gao Yang waved his hand and said to Masiev: "Hurry up and make a list of what accessories you need, and be prepared to make allowances. Go ahead, hurry up and don't miss anything."

    Masiev was extremely surprised and said: "Yes, I'll go right away. Can I really get the accessories? Uh, I'm sorry, I'll go right away!"

    Masiev ran away in a hurry, while Rebrov whispered: "Boss, is it possible to have such a tight schedule? I think it is better to let Salim find a tow truck. We should pay attention to something and there should be no problems."  "

    Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Whether there is a trailer or not, you have to prepare the accessories to be prepared. Time is a bit tight, but it doesn't matter. Airdrops can be arranged. Our transport planes have finally come in handy." (Remember the website address of this website.  £ºwww.hlnovel.com
