34: Z-8, Warrior, and Lynx, a combination?

Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle?

After Comrade Peng Lin led him to the Lynx, Old General Xu Liyou's expression couldn't help but turn strange.

The configuration of the Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle was surprisingly identical to the "mengshi."

Moreover, it also displayed five models.

The multi-barrel rocket launcher, 120mm mortar, 12.7mm heavy machine gun, and "sickle" launcher that the "mengshi" possessed, it had them all!

Its firepower was no weaker than the "mengshi" at all!

But at this moment, Old General Xu Liyou looked at the Lynx speechless.

Because as military equipment, the Lynx All-Terrain Vehicle was simply too small.

Normal sedans are nearly five meters long, but the Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle is only 3.9 meters in size.

So much so that it looked more like a miniature toy car.

Besides that, there were the Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle's exaggerated wheels.

The "mengshi" vehicle is 6.6 meters long and 2.4 meters wide, almost twice the size of the Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle.

However, the "mengshi" only has six wheels.

And the Lynx?

With its 3.9-meter length and 1.7-meter width, its chassis was fitted with eight wheels.

It's no exaggeration to say that apart from the wheels, there was almost no spare space on the chassis of the Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle.

Its several mini wheels combined might not even be as big as one of the "mengshi's."

"Comrade Peng Lin, is this also an all-terrain assault vehicle you designed?"

Old General Xu Liyou asked with some doubt.

The current mainstream military vehicles still prioritize armor protection.

Even when sacrificing armor for mobility, there are high demands for mobility speed and off-road performance.

But this Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle, which looked like a toy, besides having relatively strong firepower on its small body, he really couldn't find any other advantages.

Comrade Peng Lin looked at the Old General's strange gaze and already understood his confusion.

"Chief, please don't view the Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle as a car."

"Just regard it as our soldiers' 'force multiplier,' treat it as an incredibly powerful warrior."

"Wherever a soldier can go, it can go."

"And its load capacity and speed are much stronger than those of ordinary soldiers!"

Comrade Peng Lin explained to Old General Xu Liyou.

Just as he said, the Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle should not be treated as a traditional vehicle, but rather as a warrior.

In later generations, the "Lynx" was loaded with various weapons and even used by the Dragon Country's army as an unmanned combat platform.

Whether it's desert, swamp, mud, mountain, river, shallow sea, plateau, or wetland, it can go to any terrain.

Even in many terrains where ordinary soldiers cannot advance, it can move freely by virtue of its all-domain mobile all-terrain driving capability!

Although Comrade Peng Lin cannot create an "unmanned combat platform" now, directly letting soldiers drive the "Lynx" into combat does not affect its powerful performance and combat effectiveness at all!

"Treat this vehicle as a warrior?"

Old General Xu Liyou was still very confused.

Comrade Peng Lin understood that the Old General, influenced by traditional combat thinking, probably wouldn't be able to grasp what he was saying anytime soon.

"Chief, how about this, I'll give you a live demonstration!"

"Prepare immediately for an all-terrain off-road performance test of both the 'mengshi' and the 'Lynx'!"

"Also, conduct a live-fire test of the vehicle-mounted weapon module platform simultaneously!"

Comrade Peng Lin gave the order.

"Yes, Chief Engineer!"

Subsequently, many technical backbones from the Changhe Automobile Factory and the Changhe Weapon Manufacturing Factory immediately began preparations.

The Changhe Automobile Factory and the Changhe Weapon Manufacturing Factory each selected ten technical backbones, who stood in a row.

They formed groups of two, each riding in a Lynx and a "mengshi" vehicle.

"Chief, next we are going to the complex terrain test site built by the Changhe Automobile Branch Factory."

Comrade Peng Lin explained the situation to Old General Xu Liyou.

And just after his words, the roar of four Zhi-8 helicopters tore through the sky.

In the open space in front of where everyone was, the Zhi-8's dual rotors stirred up a violent vortex, landing on the ground.

Upon seeing the Zhi-8 land, the "mengshi" roared its engine and drove towards the Zhi-8's landing zone.

As soon as the Zhi-8's tail ramp touched the ground, revealing its wide internal space, the "mengshi" wheels sparked as they rolled over the steel ramp and quickly drove into the Zhi-8's cabin.

At the same time, the Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle was not to be outdone.

With their lightweight bodies, two of them even drove side-by-side rapidly into the Zhi-8's cabin.

One Zhi-8 transport helicopter can carry two "mengshi" or six Lynxes.

When the last Lynx drove into the cabin, the hatch slowly closed.

Ultimately, five "mengshi" boarded three different Zhi-8s, while five Lynxes were in the same one.

The four Zhi-8s began to climb rapidly into the air.

This Steel Torrent completed its loading in just 87 seconds.

The moment the Zhi-8 transport aircraft ascended into the sky, the entire assault team was like a sword returning to its sheath!

Old General Xu Liyou watched this scene, deeply shocked.

It turned out that both the "mengshi" and the "Lynx" were developed and designed based on the tactical transport needs of the Zhi-8.

With heavy transport helicopters like the Zhi-8, this all-domain mobile assault team could even be deployed to any region to carry out special operations missions!

At this moment, he finally understood the power of the Mengshi Protected Assault Vehicle developed by Comrade Peng Lin.

Because the "mengshi" and the Zhi-8 needed to be combined for systemic operations.

If the Zhi-8 deployed ordinary soldiers to a region, those soldiers would be light infantry without heavy firepower.

If the Zhi-8 deployed ordinary soldiers and a jeep to a region, those soldiers would at most be motorized infantry.

However, the "mengshi," as a highly mobile wheeled vehicle tactical platform, was equipped with various heavy firepower module weapons.

When the "mengshi" and elite soldiers were strategically air-dropped together by the Zhi-8, they combined to form a modern, fully mechanized elite combat force!

The firepower and combat effectiveness of a light infantry unit versus a modern, fully mechanized elite combat force were simply incomparable!

At this moment, Old General Xu Liyou even felt a shiver down his spine at the firepower configuration and combat effectiveness of this fully mechanized elite combat force.

If such a force were to infiltrate or be tactically air-dropped behind his lines, it would be a nightmare!

He began to eagerly anticipate the off-road capabilities of the "mengshi" and the performance of its mounted heavy firepower weapon modules.

As for those few small Lynxes, he still subconsciously ignored them.

"Let's go to the test site too!"

"I want to see the performance of the Mengshi Protected Assault Vehicle with my own eyes!"

Old General Xu Liyou said to Comrade Peng Lin impatiently.
